I can't believe I've never reviewed this place…read more You literally can't go wrong. I could probably make a meal off of just their appetizers. I've literally never had fried mushrooms at a restaurant that were Portabella. These are to die for but the star of the appetizer menu to me are the fried pickled okra. they are coated in a perfect , cornmeal batter and served with homemade ranch dressing. Now onto the main courses. The burgers are all phenomenal. I have tried three or four of them no matter which one you get, order it Bob's way, which comes with fried onion strings. I usually can't finish a whole burger, but here I make myself finish the burger. No morsel is wasted. I recently tried one of their hotdogs, and I can say it won't be my last. Last but not least, their sides with the burgers cannot be beat. I know it sounds weird to say, but I am not much of a french fry person. Here I want to eat all of them. Their onion rings are equally delicious and their sweet potato chips are unlike anything I've ever gotten of the sweet potato family. Everything is perfectly fried and everything goes good with their homemade ranch. Our girl Wimpy works here and provides the best service to everyone who enters some of us even get a hug when we leave

This was a great find in Lockhart when not craving BBQ from one of the well-known BBQ spots. The…read moreservice is top notch. Friendly and hospitable. It's a small dive bar with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good variety of beers on tap and bottles, I think. I only had the ones on tap. The food is great. We had the fried okra (whole pieces) and onion rings, which are delish. Not salty and the batter does not fall off, which is a plus. We also ordered the patty melt, bahn mi burger and boneless wings. We enjoyed them all. Good portions and flavorful. This is our go to in Lockhart when not in a BBQ state of mind.

The live music stage is set up in the far back corner, so you have a good view from anywhere in the place. Decor reminds me of a friendly neighborhood coffee shop. Parking in Lockhart is free on the street, so coming from Austin, it was almost a surreal step back in time. People in Lockhart must enjoy the slower, friendlier pace of life. Looking forward to next time.

Interior stone walls transcend you back to that period of dirt streets, horses hitched out front, & America coming into its own.

Having traveled from our home to this town, we had checked into our inn and now wanted some…read morerefreshments and mirth. We happened upon a bar that had a teller of comicdic stories and his helper and thought this to be perfect. The name of said bar was The Pearl and the storyteller a Mr. Daryl Felsberg. We ordered our alcohol. My wife and traveling companion got me a white chocolate Martini, it came with a pearl and a cherry. and I got her a cocktail called Emily Morgan. Both were very good. The service was friendly but only two people running the whole thing and one was the owner or manager who was mostly the greeter. She was friendly but the main bartender was doing most of the work and while impressive I felt sort of bad for him. The set up is you can sit at the bar, then there is a walkway all in a line from the door. When you enter bar is on your right. To the left are tables of various sizes. Right in front of the stage is a table with two comfy chairs. Right past the bar is a small seating nook with comfy chairs. Not a bad overall setup. Bathrooms are through another set of doors. No food but there is a popular pizza place nearby and you can bring that in to eat. The comics were both funny. We bought a CD and T-Shirt from the main guy. The one thing that did go wrong was the stage lighting. It just randomly would switch colors, brightness, sometimes turn off completely. This was their first comedy show there but they have live music so not sure what happened. You got your own water from a glass dispenser which was not the only place that did this. It was a pretty popular option. We also had a shot of peanut butter whiskey. The overall price wasn't bad. It was a nice place, they had live music coming after the comic but we had other plans. This was our only visit to The Pearl on this trip but it was a pleasant rest stop for weary traveller's in need of quenching our thirst and merriment.

After parking the car, the guys stopped and bought vintage pearl snap shirts from the tattoo parlor next-door. All around, a win-win! We will definitely be back.
