J G Visited for the first time and enjoyed the food! Good portion, Green/Orange salsa on point and the homemade corn tortillas also!

Ramin I finally made it to Kreuz to try their BBQ. The brisket was fine, but honestly a little dry for my taste, which was disappointing since that’s usually the star of the plate. The sausage, however, was really flavorful and juicy, definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere is great—big open space with that classic Texas BBQ vibe, and it feels like the kind of place you want to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends. Service was straightforward and quick. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I’d probably come back more for the sausage and atmosphere than the brisket.

Charles Wiltgen old pal is such a classic, top notch bar/tavern. the esthetic is great with old school charm all over. we came for lunch so didn’t enjoy any live music but i imagine this is a fun place to come enjoy that. we did however absolutely love the beer can chicken with their house made ranch. the staff was friendly as well, felt right at home the whole time. make sure you hit up the photo booth!

Christopher Watkins Great food for the price. The sandwiches were top tier and very filling. First time having it and will definitely have it again. Great place to go if you enjoy a good sandwich with a variety of flavors that blend well together to make your enjoy every bite.

Chris McKamey Fantastic spot to stop for breakfast. Their tacos are a good size and always fresh and hot! Bean and cheese are great, eggs are perfect, sausage is delicious. Their salsa is solid, even the pancakes are really, really good. Never disappointed when I stop here after a long night at work.

Ray I was told Blacks was some of the best BBQ in the state of TX so I had to come by and check it out for myself. I was not disappointed. Got to meet the owner as he was great to come by and introduce himself. The food was excellent. I had sliced brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, cole slaw, and black eyed peas. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. When I am back in the area I will return.

Cynthia Partain We’ve eaten here a couple of times. It’s always been great. The food was super fresh and came out very fast. It tasted delicious. Service was great!

Josh A great stop for coffee on Lockharts main square. We enjoyed their covered seating facing the court house. Always enjoy stopping by when were in town. Free street parking is available on the square and nearby streets.

Tamika Chavez We love Casa Jalisco! I purposely picked it for Mothers Day. We didnt have to wait in line and were sat right away. The servers are always quick and the food is good.

Lisa Munoz Spare Change is super cute! We now have a family arcade with really yummy food in Downtown Lockhart. From Duckpin Bowling to Ms. PacMan and old school pinball, this place is the perfect spot to enjoy some Fun games and get some really good grub. I tried the veggie sandwich, pizza, tater tots and meatballs - all very good! Also, don’t miss the bathrooms, which have walls covered in vintage comic books! Super cute spot.

Keith Fowler This place serves old school barbecue. Cooked over smoke pits with the live fire near the entrance of the establishment. The brisket and sausage was very good.

Ellen Lux Handmade tortillas are the secret. They are made fresh daily! The best breakfast tacos I’ve had in a long time! We went back same day for lunch and their steak tacos are equally good. The green salsa is also exceptional!

ODell Bishop So happy to have Marios in the neighborhood! In the space formerly occupied by the decent Los Huaraches, the East side Marios has organized the room nicely, making it easier to move around. I had the migas plate with bacon, it was delicious. Service was great, and Ive heard they have some exciting plans for this location. Stay Tuned. Go eat! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
