    Our first time having brunch at Lockharts. The bloody Mary’s were so good. We all ordered different entrées plus pancakes for the table. All of our dishes were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Will be back for brunch for sure.

    In General the service was good. Staff very attentive to your request. Food was good. They give you a good amount of meat but Side portions could have been a little bigger. My shredded pork was completely cold. The whole plate could have been hotter but I enjoyed it. Prepare to spend 35 to 40 dollars a person 4 people was179.80 could be a little cheaper with the small portions. But i would visit again.

    Extended family of 7. One toddler in high chair who is teething ( so cranky), one energetic four year old who was content with the coloring book and crayons they gave her, one senior in a big electric wheelchair, and four other adults sat comfortably at our table. Great service, and noise level was perfect for my grandnephew. We really enjoyed our evening out. Cornbread and brisket was delicious. The green beans were a bit soggy but Macaroni was yummy. Ample portions ( I shared a 2 meat combo with my 4 year old grandniece and we still had left overs). We’ll definitely be back.

    Cute place, great service, but the food was not that great. The brisket and ribs were a bit overcooked.

    Most of us ordered the 3 meats dish with 2 sides and was not disappointed Justin was our server and he was phenomenal, very accommodating, professional and pleasant. He made our dining experience very enjoyable. We will definitely be back.
