Brittany BurnsideAugust 6, 2015The ribs and mac and cheese are super duper good! I enjoyed it. Also, the lockhart's lemonade is greatUpvote4Downvote
The smoked bacon is to die for. It is meat candy! Lockhart' s can get a little pricey, but only because you order so much delicious food! Also try the burnt ends and brisket!

The brisket is great. The sweet potato mash is awesome! It tastes like pie! The ribs are kick-ass! Also, there was a hot Asian girl sitting at the bar last night. This place rocks!Upvote1Downvote
Lindsey ZarrasOctober 10, 2014The sauces are all amazing! The poblano dip was delicious. I split the two meat combo, pulled pork and sausage were excellent. Mac n cheese and sweet potato fries are on pointUpvoteDownvote
JenKuduSeptember 2, 2014Pulled pork nachos are big. The tortillas are great, but the pork is very average. Also had brisket and sweet potato mash which were meh. The standout of the meal was the red hot sausage. Fantastic!

Elgar VaivarsAugust 24, 2013Hot sausage is nice and spicy. The Jet Black beer is good. I'm sure the portions are a good size for the average human?UpvoteDownvote
The turkey is to die for. I know it's not typical BBQ meat but it's worth a try... trust me.Upvote1Downvote
Half-off appetizers for a Foursquare check-in. Get the burnt ends or fried green beans. The corn bowl is life-changing, and so is the pulled pork sandwich!UpvoteDownvote

David MurrayMarch 13, 2012Their Brisket is on the dry side, but still full of flavor. Use some of their Carolina sauce and you are good to go.Upvote1Downvote
