Restaurants in Lockhart

“Loved everything about the Barb’s experience- even waiting in line! The staff made me feel like I was a guest in their home. The food was so carefully arranged on our tray and blessed with lime zest and good vibes, resulting in perfection in every bite. Might be the best brisket I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back again and try the lamb this time.”

“Had the pleasure of meeting Shane and Ben. The amount of time they took to show us the operation and explain the cooking process was a level of service you don’t get to experience often. Shane and Ben, thanks for making our experience memorable and special. Food was 10/10”

“WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Seriously, if you haven’t tried them- you should. The wait was WELL worth it. My 3yo, husband and myself had the best experience here. The food is worth a million bucks and the service is matched equally! I had the best sandwich I think I’ve ever had (the gonzo), my husband had a burger (the market street burger); even he couldn’t dominate, and my daughter drowned herself in the incredible strawberry waffle for kids. Super pleased we made the choice to eat here. Definitely going to be a place we come back to often!!!”

“Yummy food and drinks! Loved the atmosphere!”

“First of all, Bless them for all their NA options and being so dang knowledgeable and sweet!
Love this place for it all, whether it's needing help picking out a bottle for an event, having an unwind, need a bite of dinner, or are meeting up with pals for a glass (or bottle) while gallivanting around the square.”

“A hidden treasure for EXCELLENT real old fashion burgers in Lockhart, Texas!! Great wings too! Be sure to get the amazing French fries, they are perfection.”

“We split a popover as an appetizer. I could have eaten 5! So good! My fiancé got the burger, I got the chicken sandwich… then we swapped half of each. SO DELICIOUS! You could tell by the taste that you’re eating quality meats! I got a slice of chocolate cream pie to go. When I ate it later that evening, I knew I would return! Great, quick, and friendly service and everything was very clean! Thank you!!”

“Food was good, really busy. Took a little while to get our food. Wait staff was good”

“7 days Happy Hour...nice n cool place to enjoy a cold drink in the hot Texas summers..NFL games x several screens!!”

“Went to do a food review and the owner Lydia was great about giving me the history of Lilly's!! She also made me a Swiss Mushroom burger with grilled onions and mushrooms. It was the best SMB I've had!! Great atmosphere and great ppl!!! I definitely recommend Lilly's and their burgers!!!”

“Went thru drive thru this morning the girl at drive thru window was very friendly & OMG !!! I Have never had such an amazing Horchata...If you like Horchata I highly recommend you try it at Mario's Rest. !! you will not regret it 😋”

“Great place . Ruben is an amazing person . When I was a PHD student, I would go there on Sunday to study . Thanks for everything you guys to for Lockhart community”

“1st time there Excellent service excellent food and reasonable prices”

“Best Mexican food in Lockhart! Best salsa! That’s why they’ve won best of Caldwell County awards for 7 years straight! They know what their doing for sure”

“I’m originally “MIT”—Made in Taiwan—but currently in Cambridge, MA, pursuing a PhD at an institute with a similar name. This summer, I’m interning at Synopsys in Austin, and as every good Texan would advise: you haven’t really arrived until you’ve had BBQ.

So I drove to Riley’s Pit BBQ, located at 1326 S Colorado St, Lockhart, TX—just next to a McDonald’s but worlds apart in flavor.
I ordered a three-meat plate—brisket, ribs, and sausage—with sides for just $18 (tax and tip included). In 2025, that’s a steal.
The brisket melted on the tongue with a smoky bark, the ribs were juicy, and the sausage casing offered a satisfying snap. It was hearty, flavorful, and generous in portion.
The plate came classic-style: with pickles, onions, a slice of white bread, and rich sides like potato salad and mac & cheese.
Inside, the dining room was decked with Texas memorabilia and BBQ signs, giving it a warm, laid-back feel.
Behind the scenes, you can see piles of smoking wood stacked out back and a working pit smoker—a sign that the meat is done the traditional way.
While the meat quality was excellent, one suggestion for improvement would be switching from plastic to wooden chopping boards, as the latter is more durable and won’t risk microplastic debris in food.

In a town saturated with legendary BBQ names, Riley’s felt humble, genuine, and full of heart. I plan to return, and if you appreciate honest, affordable BBQ in a no-frills setting, you should too.”

“amazing beverage's and people”

“I was looking for a Smoothie King in Lockhart. Very disappointed there wasn’t one. But I found Smoothie Glory. OMG! My smoothie was better than what I always get at the other place. Delicious!!!🤤”

“I love their Autumn Moon Iced Latté. It is delicious and strong! The employees are friendly and eager to help make your experience a great one. The location is easy to access. I wasn't a coffee house person but after my Summer Moon Coffee experience, I am now! ❤️”

“Hands down the best bakery ever!! We go here often and are never disappointed. Ordered a last minute order of Mexican wedding cookies as well as 75 Pan de Huevo for our wedding and they made it happen!!! They even managed to make them our wedding colors which turned out so great! All of our guests were commenting on how delicious and pretty they were. We will continue to visit this establishment frequently and they will definitely be our go to for any party bakery needs. Thank you again!!!”

“Went thru drive thru this morning the girl at drive thru window was very friendly & OMG !!! I Have never had such an amazing Horchata...If you like Horchata I highly recommend you try it at Mario's Rest. !! you will not regret it 😋”

“These desserts are simply marvelous! I dare say they are even better than full sugar cookies! I've had the chocolate chip cookies and the peanut butter cookies, it's impossible to choose a favorite! I can't wait to get my hands on some different items next time...I won't be happy until I've tried everything. 🥰🥰”

“Muy buena comida La sirven rapido Felicidades”

“Yum! Just yum!😋 I have christened this place”The Crack House!” Much needed and sooooo delicious!”

“Delicious food, patient and informative staff.”

“Although the food was very good, their customer service was TERRIBLE! The woman behind the meat counter was the rudest person I’ve ever encountered in a food establishment. In Lockhart, Tx , there are at least 10 other bbq restaurants, so, people definitely have choices! We were visiting Lockhart and chose Krews from another recommendation. We ordered approximately $50 in meats and she threw 4 slices of bread up on our meat order. One of the pieces was the “heel”. She knew we wanted to make a couple of sandwiches and when I asked her for another piece of bread, instead of the “heel” , she proceeded to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it. She argued with me about that piece of bread until she finally threw it in the trash and threw several other pieces up on our meats. Based on our experience, we wouldn’t return.”

“Always good! Servers are always nice! It's one of our favorites!”

“The Greek salad is a work of art”

“The barbecue tacos were very delicious, the charcoal-grilled chickens are also delicious. I will be eating the delicious food every day. I recommend them, 100% succulent in everything.”

“First time buying in this place. The food is delicious, the quesadilla, uff delicious, it doesn't have a lot of cheese and so it's good to be able to dislike the uQuesadilla al pastor. The gorita is quite large. I ordered it with chicharrón in green sauce and I loved it. The delicious tacos. I recommend this place 100%. Next time I will take my children here and we will eat right there??. The girl who helped us was very kind?thank you.”

“We went for a kinda late lunch. It was pretty slow so we didn't have a big crowd to deal with and no wait. The server really helped answer all our questions. The food came out quickly and we really enjoyed all the flavors! Definitely want to go back as soon as possible!”

“Great staff even better food. Give this place a visit”

“My experience of the place. The restaurant is small, the food is a 10, the service is 10. And the atmosphere is 10?
Next door they have a small nightclub bar with songs like cumbias and songs in English but country type something like that, they have villar tables and las vegas type gaming machines.
It's good to spend some time there, we liked it a lot and of course we were going to go again. A total of 100 points ? ? the Villar table $1. Admission $4 that's for the bar.
There is no entrance fee to the Ovbio restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: The siii restaurant is suitable for children.
The bar nooo.”

“I order a torta. I was surprise when It came with fries in my to go box ?. Also the guys even put salsa and jalapeños on the side without me asking, because they saw I had a baby and took inconsideration she would be eating my food. And yes they were right.”

“AMAZING! We’ve been driving past this spot on 183 for weeks now commuting to and from Austin to Victoria and today we decided we just HAD to try it — what a great idea. We picked up a dozen hot spicy pork tamales and a dozen frozen pork tamales, can’t wait to devour them all. Will be returning, no doubt, with a cooler to stock up and take them home dozens at a time!”

“I hadn't been to Chisholm Trail in years, but I went there this past Saturday. Holy smoke, it was amazing! I will be back real soon!”

“food is always fresh & tasty”

“Stopped by while doing business I Lulling. The Food was definitely delicious, so was the salsa and 3 milk cake .🎂”

“(Translated by Google) I'm visiting several places to find my favorite gorditas, I found one the LANGUAGE is a delicacy! And they cook at the moment!! The Nopales with egg are a delight.(Original)Estoy visitando varios lugares para encontrar mis gorditas favoritas, encontré uno la LENGUA es un manjar! Y cocinan en el momento!! Los Nopales con huevo son una delicia.”

“So good ! Quality &quantity! First timers !!!💯💯💯”

“DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all. Object found sitting on our chips, appears to be a rat dropping. When brought to attention of one of the waitresses they were disgusted but suggested it was likely just a bug not a rat dropping (as if this was much better?!) We chose to keep our order placed hoping we were wrong, it wasn’t until after we ate and paid that we saw an actual rat in the bar area (closed to public this evening). The rat was seen near the fridge and eventually running underneath. This pretty much confirms our suspicions but will be talking with manager tomorrow morning as no manager was on duty this evening and health department tomorrow. We did keep the unidentified object and will be taking it to the health department for testing. Several rat traps outside of building seen as well. There is no way Mr.Taco doesn’t know they have a rat infestation. This is unsanitary, unacceptable and disgusting!”

“The BEST oysters around. They have amazing service the waitress Kathy is so great. This is my new go to place I love everything here 🤍”

“Awesomeness time with family eating some good food!!”

“Excellent seafood, fried pickles and calamari!!”

“Great food, very polite and courteous servers and owner! Great family environment, reasonable prices!!”

“I want to say a HUGE thank you and a HUGE hug to Jenn! You are just an amazing human being! She showed me kindness and generosity and I am so grateful for that!! Thank you for being exactly who you are!!”

“Took my visiting sister and her husband to Smitty’s , the walls are black with smoke, fires were ablaze , air was heavy with the smell of cooking meat and what looked like post oak . We had ribs , sausages and brisket that was cooked to perfection . I couldn’t have made a better impression of true Texas BBQ !”
