Texas BBQ Trail

Luling has for many years been known worldwide for its watermelons and rich oil history. Over the past few years, as baby boomers yearn for the simpler times of their past, the Texas BBQ Trail has become a popular travel desitination.

"As any red-blooded, iron-stomached, twitchy-nostriled food fan will tell you, barbecue is an art form, a belief system — and a vacation style," says Jerry Shriver of USA Today.

Luling, Lockhart, Elgin & Taylor make up this award-winning, mouth-watering barbecue tour. "Strap on your boots and travel Texas to taste the best slow smoked over wood coals BBQ in the state."

Last year Reader's Digest named Luling's City Market as Best All Around Barbecue after their Great Texas Barbecue Tour.

Recently USA Today named the Texas BBQ Trail as one of their 15 Unforgettable Summer Vacations.

Luling and The Francis-Ainsworth House Bed & Breakfast sit on the southern edge of the Texas BBQ Trail. After sampling some of the country's best barbecue, we'll treat you to luxurious amenities, and a quiet evening rocking on the porch. You can top off your day with our homemade blackberry cobbler.
