Lockhart Food + Drink + Live Music Guidebook
Food & Drink
From coffee and tacos to cocktails and legendary barbeque, there's plenty of options to walk to.
It's all about taste. If you want atmosphere, I recommend Smitty's for the ordering line or Terry Black's for their patio. Kent Black's is the OG and over 90 years old. Locals go to Chisholm Trail BBQ for their sides. Heck, try them all and decide for yourself.

Family pizza joint and bar. Fresh ingredients. The pizza is darn good but I prefer their sandwiches and calzone. Grab it to go and head over to Lockhart Arts and Crafts for books and games or live music and beer/wine.

Sister restaurant to Foreign and Domestic in Austin. Great food and drink. I recommend the burger, BLT, or chicken fried steak. And those cheesy bread thingys as an app. Upstairs is Commerce Hall, an old school dance hall that has live music.

Full bar, great food. People swear by the chicken but the fish sandwich and elote corn has been my go-to. Best smash burgers and jojo fries. Shuffleboard table, darts, and live music. From the same owners of Nickel City in Austin.

It's a toss-up between here and La Cantera next door. This place is smaller and more low-key. Great chips and salsa. I go for the flautas.

Food scene
Voter best new restaurant in the country! Not your everyday bbq joint. Mainly cuz they’re only open on Saturdays and Sundays until they sell out. But also because they’ve put their own twist on traditional dishes. Highly recommended.
