Old highways still shape the way you eat in Schulenburg, where a meal can feel like a break in the middle of a long drive. The town has that Central Texas rhythm, unhurried but ready when you walk in. Even a short stop can feel like a reset.
City Market delivers the classic meat market experience, so lean into tradition and order at the counter with confidence. Start with brisket and keep it plain, because the point is the smoke and the cut. Buy a little extra by the pound and you will not regret it.
Oakridge Smokehouse Restaurant gives you another option when you want a full sit down table and a little more menu to browse. Add smoked sausage for a salty snap, then call it Texas BBQ done the simple way. Lunch is the safest bet for the widest selection.
