Owner Jill Grobowsky Bergus is the granddaughter of Edgar "Papa" Schmidt, who bought the legendary Kreuz Market in Lockhart, Texas in 1948. In 2011 she and her husband Jeff brought that Central Texas pedigree to the Bishop Arts District, and Dallas has been lining up for it ever since.
Post Oak, Butcher Paper and a House Rule
The method is gloriously stubborn: post oak smoke, simple rubs, meat sold by the pound on butcher paper and Kreuz sausage from the family recipe. Brisket leads with a peppery bark, and the smoked prime rib makes a strong case for a second trip to the counter. One rule outranks the rest: they serve until they run out of meat.

Groups, timing, and honest limits
- When the meat is gone, it is gone, so late arrivals may find a shorter menu than they hoped.
- The Arlington location inside Texas Live! runs under a licensing agreement, handy before a game at the stadiums next door.
- For a big group, a pre-arranged order beats hoping the brisket survives the line.
Tell us the location, the day and the headcount and we will make sure the brisket is still on the block: ask the concierge.
