Lamberts Downtown Barbecue offers a wide range of Texas, Tex-Mex, and Southern specialties, authentic in spirit but finished with a master chef’s hand, served in a unique environment that is both up-to-the-minute and infused with the soul of the past.

“We call our food ‘fancy barbecue’,” says owner Lou Lambert, “but there’s nothing snobby or highfalutin’ about it. We’re just kind of giving barbecue its due, and showing that it can be an art form.”
