Ordered medium-well salmon and cheeseburger. Both were rare. Sent back. Husband finished dinner before our server came back. Still didn't have food. Got it to go. Burger and bun are both burned. read more

Stopped by Monday for a beer and snack. Bar tender was great and attentive, although appeared to be a bit understaffed. My complaint which unfortunately I did not really think about until afterwards, but we ordered the chicken nachos, but what we got was chips, lettuce, some tomato's, and a a cheese sauce, absolutely zero chicken. Am not a regular, do have stopped by now and then for lunch and was always very good. Feel cheated as paid full price, got chips. Again partially my fault as I didn't realize until later, but would suggest if you order make sure you get what you are paying for. read more

The staff is abundantly friendly. If you don't understand a brew, they take the time to explain the draught to you. The food is always good and even when it is busy, you can find a seat. This is my go-to night out. read more

Large outside patio for covid concerned eating and medium size inside dinning. About 8-10 beers of local brews. I drank a 5 count flight of brews that I enjoyed the variety of taste. Fast service by the staff. Clean establishment. Had the rib strip grilled cheese sandwich, yummy good. The shrimp tacos with green and purple vegi stuff and a hint of heat in the sauce, very good too. Both upgrades for beer battered fries added a great taste to normal fries. read more

Veryyyyyyyy understaffed right now. The staff is spread thin and vocal about it. Used to be a sweet spot for great service and food. Needs a major morale boost in there. Devil went down to dayton is an AWESOME drink if you like spicy stuff ! read more

Stopped in with my wife after a sporting event. We were seated immediately, and the host was more personable than most. He wasn't so over the top it seemed fake, but his mannerisms and charm made it very sincere. Our waiter was at the table within a minute or two and asked if we'd been to Lock 27 before. When we told him we had not, he offered up the fact the kitchen is a scratch kitchen, and the beer list in orange were the beer brewed on site. He asked if we knew what we were looking for, so we told him we'd like to start with the Waterway Wheat beer and a glass of wine for my bride. By the time the drinks arrived, we'd decided on a small order of wings, a Caesar salad, and the bacon burger. I've eaten a lot of chicken wings in my day, and these were definitely top 5. Meaty, dry rub, (temperature) hot, and perfectly seasoned. They came with a jalapeno (possibly habanero) sauce and a sriracha sauce. Just delicious. The salad looked to be crisp, the croutons were crisp, and the dressing was on point. The bacon burger arrived as delicious as the photo is beautiful. You get beer brewed on premises, food from a scratch kitchen, and outstanding service all the way around. Maybe an extra couple of bucks at the point of sale, but you are definitely getting your money's worth here. Highly recommended. read more

When we went we walked to the door and there was a sign that said the kitchen was closed. We had parked near a car that had a person in a wheelchair returning from the door. Wish we could have saved them the trip. If you plan to eat, better call first and see if the kitchen is open. read more

Terrible. Our waitress Miranda was rude.. shouted questions at the table and was not remotely hospitable. I watched the bartender disappear for 5-10 minutes while waiters and waitresses waited patiently for their return.. eager to serve their customers. It's clear that between an unsupportive bar staff and a kitchen that serves poor quality food, the stress on the waitstaff is high. Food took way too long and came out staggered.. half the table had food for 10 minutes before the other half was served. What took the longest? A house salad. Congratulations. When everyone's food was finally served.. it was craptastic. I posted a photo of the fries I was served. Why would anyone think it's acceptable to send those tiny fry nuggets out to customers? My mother had a hair in hers. Congrats #2. Overall, we came here for my Grandmother's 86th birthday. The entire family left extremely dissatisfied. Congrats #3. You suck. We're never coming back. read more

Great food and friendly service. Had the chicken Nachos and Patsies. Enjoyed with a couple of their beers read more

First time there. Our server was awesome. Took time to answer questions about the beer. Tried a few beers on tap. Wolk was what I stuck with that night. Staff all worked together to take care of our larger group. Tried about every appetizer. Roosted cauliflower, wings, and pretzel bites were my favorites. Fried chicken sandwich not the best. The chicken piece on the bun was small. There was a jam band there that night. If that's your thing. Made it too loud to talk once they started. I would definitely go back again. read more

Hubby and I stopped by Lock27 for an early dinner one afternoon. It was quiet and only a couple people were working. We looked at a menu and a couple things looked really good on the menu. But that menu was immediately taken away from us and replaced with a menu that took away a lot of the interesting ethnic items. I ended up ordering the Rueben which was ok, but not great. Hubby had the poutine and liked it really well. We were told by the waiter that it was a seasonal menu and they were in between seasons. We will definitely go back, but I think we just caught them at a bad time . . . read more

This used to be a fun place to go to have a few beers and good food but something has changed for the worse over the past year or so. They are always out of one or more of their flagship beers and also out of many food items. The servers used to be very friendly but most of the good ones have left. The bartender spends too much time talking to her friends and is not very attentive to her other customers. In the past, she used to be very friendly and very attentive but again, something has changed. Maybe management needs to be more involved. read more

Lock 27 has become one of my local "go to" when I'm looking for a low key night out for dinner and drinks. The quality of the food is great and the atmosphere is quaint inside - with a patio for the more mild days. My favorite beer here is the Wolk, but unfortunately they don't always have it. (It's a call ahead situation to confirm they carry the beer I like on those days). Smoked wings are my absolute favorite of any place around - no one does them better. Great food. Great beer. Consistent eats. read more

Amazing food, great drinks & great service! I'll be back again and again. *the chicken nachos & smoked wings are to-die-for! read more

Hopefully they really had just an off-day, but I went back to experience chicken wing nirvana & was terribly disappointed. The wings were just barely cooked through, very greasy, the skin was rubbery, and they had almost no rub on them. In other words, they were the exact opposite of what I'd had before. I didn't send them back or complain. I've seen the movie "Waiting". The beer cheese with the pretzels was very runny & wouldn't stick. We still had a full container of cheese when all the pretzels were eaten. Service was OK, but slow. The other dishes our group ordered were very good. read more

Lock 27 Brewing Restaurant - If you don't see anything you want on tap, they also have a selection of bottled beer, cider, wine, etc. - Breweries Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

Burgers were good. Beer is very tasty as well. Glad the Centerville location is working well.

This place is always really good. Went here for lunch recently. Get the Wings. They are excellent and unique.

Went to this place at the recommendation of a realtor; she clearly wants to earn our business and would not recommend a bad place... and she did not disappoint. Great food, nice selection of their own beers plus a couple of guest taps, and with great service. We had pirogues for appetizers, salads, and sliders. Would have loved to have the brownie for dessert, but the portions were generous enough that we were too full to continue. Great place. Go check it out. read more

Food has always been ok. Wish they offered more normal condiments. We have had ok service but the staff doesn't dress or look professional or welcoming in any way. I know it's a brewery environment but we probably have much better choices nearby. read more

I want to get the bad out of the way first. This place gets really busy sometimes, and that can be frustrating when you're trying to get in for an early dinner and there is a small line waiting ahead of you. That's completely the restaurant's fault. If they didn't make some of the best food I've ever had, we wouldn't be having this problem. I've been in there a few times, and I've always been content with the food, to the point that I get sad when I have to leave. They have a delicious chicken and waffles with an amazing syrup that they make themselves, and the chicken is perfectly tender, ready to slide off of the bone and onto the crisp waffle. The Resolution Salad is my wife's favorite dish here, and I often sneak a few bits of the roasted potatoes for myself, dipping it into the slightly sweet lemon vinagrette. But last night I took a friend there. We both decided to try something different, and I went for a caprese panini entree with Bacon Wrapped Shrimp as my appetizer. I've capitalized the first letters of the appetizer to help emphasize that this is the true subject of my post today. I've literally never had anything better in my life. This wasn't the beer talking, because I couldn't stop eating long enough to get halfway through my beer. I was presented with four hearty sized jumbo shrimp, wrapped in a crunchy and perfectly browned bacon, sitting on a bed of cheesy polenta. The entire dish had a light drizzle of what appeared to be basalmic vinegar, garnished with a tomato and red onion relish. Upon my first bite, my friend looked over at me and noticed my wide eyes, asking if I was alright. I just nodded and took another bite. Then another. I slowly worked through the delicious polenta with the creamy romano cheese melted into it. The saltiness of the basalmic vinegar playing wonderfully against the savoriness of the polenta. The crunchy bacon held the soft body of the shrimp tightly, keeping the meal well presented, and providing the perfect morsel for dipping into the relish laden creamy polenta. I cleaned this plate, and looked over at my caprese panini. I had half a mind to box that up for later and just order another appetizer, but I soldiered on. The panini, although delicious, couldn't compare. I'm here typing this on yelp, and I have three other tabs looking up how to possibly make this myself, while also checking to see what time Lock 27 opens today. read more

I just couldn't let this slide because of my disappointment. My wife and I have been coming here for about how long it's been open at this location. Absolutely loved the food, service, atmosphere, even supported during the pandemic. This place is usually spot on, quality food always, the wings are always one of a kind, service on point. Today was the total opposite of that. My wife and I sit down and I immediately notice that a lady is sending her food back. Ok, no biggie maybe they she just picky, it's not going to affect my food, I said to my self. Some time passes by and our waitress finally gets to us and gives us our menus. My wife and I looked looked over our menus and decided on the drinks, an order of wings (of course!) and our lunch. We waited a quite bit longer and the waitress came back and apologized for our wait and took our orders. While we were waiting for our items I noticed the same lady send her food back to the kitchen. This is when I thought something was out of the norm, and gave "The Look" to my wife. We got our drinks, I ordered an Old Fashioned and my wife ordered a mojito. We were celebrating her getting her masters degree so wanted to get some celebrating in at one of her favorite spots. So we get our drinks and I'm looking at the waitress bring my wife her mojito...and it's in a martini glass...wtf? The mojito looked and tasted...well let's just say it was definitely someone's very first day behind the bar. So we both give each other the look and tell the waitress you know we good...we'll make the best of it. I get my drink and take a sip. Notice that's it's not good as well, like it's just not made the same as it usually is and is short as hell! We get our wings and right away I notice that the wings look off. Not uncooked or anything but just not to what "Lock 27 wings" normally look and taste like. My wife didn't notice anything off the bat, so I pushed it to the side so she could enjoy her wings. Me though, I knew the quality of those wings were not Lock 27 known standards. So we get our food and it gets in front of us and I'm like, "Wow, they really slapped this ish together?" Like it just looked like it was sloppy... I mean the 3 tacos on my wife's plate just looked the garbage plate at this place called Nick Tahoe's where I grew up at, it just looked bleh... I got a burger, well how can you mess up a burger? By overcooking it and a moldy tomato... wtf yo? This is Lock 27, you guys charge too much for that ish. The topper of the whole afternoon, there was a fly in my drink! There was A DAMN FLY IN MY DRINK! WTF MAN!? Yo...that just killed it for us, I mean absolutely killed it for us. What the hell happened to this spot? I can't go back here man, not after this. I can understand that it is Monday in December, folks is getting in they work routine, things might not have been closed right from the day before, whatever whatever... but yo that is no excuse for this type of quality and service when we gotta pay those prices. You guys used to be better than that. read more

I would eat here every night if we could! My husband and I love coming in on date nights for a couple cocktails and craft beers. We also bring our sons in for dinner and dessert. The meat and cheese board is my favorite snack while we're out since it's always changing and presented so beautifully. The staff is always so nice to us and even though we've only been in Centerville for a few weeks, they're already so playful with my kids and quick to make meaningful drink suggestions to us. We've brought our parents and friends here when they're down visiting our new home because it has such an amazing atmosphere. If you're not sure what to get, talk with the servers and bartenders first. They're a great knowledgeable group and make the place so welcoming. read more

Amazing beer and food to match. I've been to both Centerville and Dayton locations and the atmosphere is fun and upbeat. The place is usually quite busy. They also have some of the best wings in Dayton. Highly recommend! read more

Well so far not worth the 45 mins waiting on on food to be cooked. Waitress Megan is very accommodating.People that arrived after us has received there for before us.Megan came over and said she will see what happen to your order.It wasn't very busy at the time we arrived.When it came out she said several times I am so sorry for your wait.They did adjust our bill. It was good.Craft beers. Very small inside. Some outside dining. read more

Delicious food!! Their chef does an amazing job! Highly recommend trying! Such a variety also!

Went on a Friday at 5:00. Waited for a server for 15 minutes, and nobody waited on us, so I went to the bar and caught the young guy's attention. He said he'd be right over. Then he proceeded to pour beers and serve them to another table, two beers at a time, five times (which took a long time). Then he waited on another table that had already been served earlier. He finally came to our table, and I ordered a flight of beers. Then 10 minutes passed and I saw the nobody had even poured my flight. So I told him to forget it, and left. Worst service I've ever had in a brewpub. read more

Food is eh, beer is eh, service eh. Nothing here is special or remarkable and would interest me in coming back.

Terrible bar food. Flat fountain drinks. Friendly staff. We didn't have the heart to tell them how horrible our lunch visit went. I'll never go back. Friends tell us they go for the alcohol. read more

I've only been once and I'm fairly impressed. I didn't get food, but enjoyed a beer on the patio with a friend. I had the Spillway, which is an American Pale Ale and delicious. My friend had the Oat Rodeo and really enjoyed it. The food menu looked great and the stuff I saw come out looked delicious. I can't wait to go back and eat there too. One issue I have is that this place is so small and really not suited for two people. All the tables are huge. I also wish they had a little bigger outdoor area. Overall will head back and hope to easily find a table again. read more

Their beers are the best of all of the Dayton-area breweries. Maybe the best in Southwest Ohio! Outside of that, the food is great too. The smoked wings are possibly the best wings in existence. We also love the fish and chips. We have had some "interesting" servers in the past, but nothing that has frustrated us enough to stay away. And the extended outdoor seating is great too! read more

Poor beer and meh food. They are really good at charging for both though - you will be convinced you are in a big city or someplace a whole lot better. read more

Heard good things about the wings, so we thought we'd try them out. Lived up to the hype. Good dry rub and cooked to crisp. Enjoyed the patio even though we got a drizzle going on. Orchard salad was delicious. Very good dressing. Wide variety of draft beers. We'll be back for more wings for sure. read more

Lock 27 in Centerville is small but feels cozy. It's one of the few restaurants we go to regularly and have never been disappointed. They have a charcuterie and cheese platter which we love their wings are excellent, always have some tacos are good and check out the chalkboard for whatever is current. Highly recommended. read more

This was one of our favorite spots in Centerville. We just left after another disappointing experience. The food was fine but very slow to come out. It's very overpriced for what you get. The service is sooooo slow. We were sat down relatively quick but then it was downhill from there. We waited at least 10 minutes for someone to even get our drink order. It then took forever for her to bring the water back. The food took forever then she disappeared and we had to wait some more for our check. We won't be back read more

The fish tacos were excellent with a little but not too much heat. The pretzels and cheese were delicious, and I had all six of their beers. Great! read more

Big fan of the wings on their appetizer menu, but otherwise think the food (burgers, etc) is a bit expensive for what you get

Have been enjoying this place for lunch pre and post pandemic. But over the last month sometime has changed for the worse. My wife and I went there for lunch two weeks ago on a Saturday. Our meal was Best described as well done if not burnt. Thought it might be a weekend fluke so tried again on a Wednesday with wife and grandkids. The food was terrible! Service mediocre. Will never go back. read more

Go for the beer, not the food and service. Wife and I both got burger, frites and a beer (Monday night special) and it took an hour and a half. Service was slow and spotty. Chipotle ketchup is no longer available. I will be back for a Mouthbreather or an Always Sunny but not to eat. Couple next to us was given an old menu and everything they wanted was not available . Used to hold such promise, now just another place in C-vile. read more

Coming in the door we were passed by two wait staff and no smiles or hello! Don't come for the friendliness, you may be disappointed. The beer is good (the posted price does or include sales tax, so $5 becomes $5.38). Behind the bar is not super tidy, nasty pinned notices, place could do with a clean, not dirty, just misses the mark! Portion of fries $8 ouch! read more

Lock 27 Brewing Restaurant - Breweries Near Me - Centerville, Ohio

Allow me to review Lock 27 Brewing. Jan and I always sit at the bar. I love socializing with people when I'm not around dogs. Kelsie, our bartender and server was very attentive and friendly. I ordered a flight of 4 brews.....Ace Space, Lost Coast Tangerine, Alpheus, and Spillway. Great choices for my palette. Jan had the Lost coast tangerine and enjoyed it very much. Our main courses were the brisket sandwich and the MAC and Cheese with bacon and blue cheese. Both were perfectly prepared and permeated our tastebuds with a delightful taste. We love Love 27! Try it , you'll Love It! read more
