One of the things that I wanted to do when I ported this over from Various Lockhart Businesses was to explain that since I last visited in the last 2010s (or even early 2020s) that Chisholm Trail has revamped the inside of its building, going from an old-fashioned local joint that felt from another era (since 1978), to a modern overhyped barbecue joint. And overhyped it might be, even in the "humble" era, when the Austin edition of Fearless Critics savagely ripped apart a bunch of restaurants, Chisholm Trail was not spared either, ranking quite poorly. While it wasn't entirely a hit piece (the sides are indeed weak), they didn't even mention the homemade bread Chisholm Trail often has available (not sure how "homemade" it is but it at least is different), as I ate here about once a year for about a decade (2009-2021, roughly). I know white bread is "classic" for barbecue but the bread they have is good too. I unfortunately don't have any Chisholm Trail pictures myself so I had to dig around in Google Maps for some of the older ones and some newer ones for comparison. The two following are about the same view from Danny Anderson (new style) and George Vandervort (old look until the early 2020s), respectively. I like the older one better.
