I chose half a salad and a sandwich. The portion sizes were perfect. Both items were quite tasty. I can't wait to try more. The server was amazing - just the right amount of interaction to ensure I had everything I needed without interrupting my quiet meal.

The glazed carrots had a light maple taste that paired really well with the dish. The temperature in the restaurant was perfect, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. Service was spot on too--Anna took great care of us and was incredibly patient as we shared stories and even offered a few decor suggestions. She was attentive without being overbearing. The music was great and set at just the right volume, which made it easy to relax, enjoy the meal and hear the conversation. That said, the decor could use a bit of improvement. No offense to the artist, but the prints felt a little odd and too small for the wall space. The overall layout of the restaurant could also be better--it didn't feel as cohesive as the food and service deserved. Also, the hardwood seats could use some padding for both the back and bottom to make longer visits more comfortable. All in all, definitely worth checking out for the food and atmosphere, with just a few areas that could be elevated.

Ordered a couple of different breakfast with lots of items so we could try them all. Standouts were the pancakes. They just need real Maple syrup and they would be fantastic! (Hint- I'll pay extra for real maple syrup). Grits were very good. Sausage and home fried potato's were good. Scrambled Eggs were ok, a bit overdone for me. She like the country style ham. Biscuits and sausage gravy were ok... Needed more sausage, more spice. I'd go back for sure.

I stopped into Chaparral while on a brief trip to Lockhart, and what I didn't expect was a huge 5K…read moreand 10K to be happening at the same time I was in town. A ton of the runners and spectators needed a little coffee fix after the race, so Chaparral had a huge rush while I was in town. This created a long line and a long back order of drinks. Instead of complaining about how long it took and OH MY GOSH HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME WAIT, I have to give them credit. Though the 3 people working were slammed, they were churning out orders quickly and efficiently, fighting off the rush one drink at a time. It took about 20ish minutes to get my coffee, but after getting my hot lavender latte with oat milk, it was worth the wait. It was a very quality cup, and it was just what I needed to start my day. The shop is super narrow, but super cute and stylish. The roadrunner LED on the wall really added to the shop's character. Next time I'm in Lockhart, I'll go out of my way to get back to Chaparral.

Well, it's Schlotzsky's...so you know what to expect from them. Every time we have ordered from…read morehere, we always get what we order and expected. Me personally, I'm not a fan of their sandwiches in general, so I usually opt for a salad, soup, or flatbread/pizza. I love their seasonal salads, as well as their tomato soup and bread sticks. Once in a while, we will grab their pizzas on BOGO Wednesdays. My son enjoys their chicken caesar and tomato soup. And always gets extra breadsticks. Hubby loves their sandwiches. So, it works for all of us. At times when we feel like a treat, we will order the cinnamon rolls, or the centers. They always seem fresh when we do. We have never dined inside, however, the drive-thru at times can be busy. Also, be sure to pay attention when going thru the drive-thru as it is very narrow. Again, it's Schlotzsky's. Nothing fancy, but a great option for a sandwich spot that has a drive-thru.

Ordered online then drove 4 minutes away to pick up. Has a "small town vibe" to it. Located across from a church and historical buildings in the downtown area of Lockhart.

Will be a regular. Highly recommended.

The service was great both times we have been. And being there is only outside dining, we have always taken our food to-go. This little spot is right on a corner in downtown Lockhart, so there's always cars passing by. The parking lot can become full, but there is plenty of parking near by.

Does it have a simple yet elevated menu? ALSO YES! First I was like alright dive bar. Then you realize it is an upscale dive bar in a sort. Drinks come out of a cooler filled with ice OR are perfectly crafted in front of you. We started by sharing the recommendation of the DEVILED EGGS (5 pc) with the Korean Chili Crisp. Was a curious as it seems like a dive bar?You betcha. Was it maybe the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Absolutely! Get these for sure! Then we shared the JOJOS "Seasoned Potato Wedges" with Boom Boom Sauce. The crunch and flavor of the potatoes was spot on. The boom boom sauce is house made and has a lovely kick to it. We couldn't eat them all because our next item came... We both had a SMASH BURGER: Double Double, Beef Patties, American Cheese, Boom Boom Sauce on a Potato Roll. I am going to say when I want a smash burger this is what I am thinking of. This is what I want. The only thing, some days I may want just ketchup and not Boom Boom sauce but that is by day and mood only. Damn they did good! I'll be back. I will need to eat all of this again!

The firewood sits on the ground as you walk in as a part of their open-fire cooking style bringing smoke into the brick pits. These new school smokers don't do it like Smitty's. As we walked in at 10:30, there was no line. We asked for the simplest order. A single slice of brisket and a single slice of turkey. It was about $12 all in. As we sat down with one of the 4 pieces of butcher paper for 2 slices of meat, I noticed that there are no forks at Smitty's. Just knives. We got to work. The turkey was fantastic. Barbecue turkey is honestly an underrated concept and their turkey was juicy, soft, and would change any Thanksgiving meal to one for the history books. I was extremely disappointed in the slice of brisket though. It was extremely chewy like plastic. Decently seasoned but not tender at all. Probably a bit undercooked. It was worth visiting for the experience, especially to get a picture next to the fire pit, which one of the people on staff was nice enough to take for us. As we walked out, we noticed tons of their awards and recognitions. It's cool to give a classic originator of Texas barbecue a hat tip like we did. RIYL: The originators or fire on the floor

Nope! Start at the scale on either end, exit the middle. Good brisket, cut to order, lots of bark. We had some lean and some fat. Liked the sauce they provide. Remember- no forks, so wash up first! We had a half link of the "spicy" sausage. Did t seem spicy, and the casing was tough, near impossible to bite it off or cut it with the plastic knives. I just pushed the meat out and ate it on a cracker. Nice to see a real, old time atmosphere, with old time smokers. Nice folks too.
