Our Story
The Terry Black's BBQ Story
Born and raised in Lockhart, Texas - the barbecue capital of Texas, and perhaps the world - our dad Terry Black passed down generations of barbecue wisdom from his experience in the Lockhart BBQ scene.
We opened Terry Black’s to honor that hard-earned family know-how and to bring delicious Central Texas flavors to you with our own unique style.

Milstead Room
Private Events
Terry Black's Barbecue Waco, opened in 2024, is the perfect venue for hosting any event. This inviting space features a private indoor event area, a full bar, and a scenic outdoor patio that adds charm to any gathering.
At the heart of its offerings is the Milstead Room, a bright and spacious venue filled with natural light. Conveniently located adjacent to the main dining room, it boats a separate entrance, along with deck and patio access. With the capacity to host up to 100 guests, the Milstead Room is ideal for everything from milestone celebrations to corporate functions and casual get-togethers.
