The ribs and mac and cheese are super duper good! I enjoyed it. Also, the lockhart's lemonade is great

Michael Tabor

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 !

Jason

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!

Lindsey Zarras

The 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 point

JenKudu

Pulled 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!

Love the brisket and the original sauce. Those garlic green beans are yummy, too! Not a fancy placy, but it's BBQ ...

Penny Kalski

The ribs and pulled pork combo was great with the Signature sauce. I also had the sweet potato mash and the bacon . Yum!

Nicole Sauerwald

Service was mediocre (maybe a quarter full at 4:30 on a Sunday) but the food was great. We had the poblano dip , pulled pork , BBQ chicken , crispy potatoes , mac&cheese, cornbread .

John Sweeney

"The BEST!!!" The best people, the best staff , the best BBQ , the best Pit Boss Bubba! it's simply "The BEST!!!"

Sara Machiniak

Carolina Gold BBQ sauce is where it's at. Great MI beer selection . Service is friendly . Great place all around.

Arik T

I'm pretty sure the secret ingredient in the shepherd's pie is crack. That ish is awesome!

Matt Gierlowski

Come for brunch on Sunday - the brisket mess and bottomless drinks are worth the trouble

Michael Tabor

You absolutely have got to try the smoked bacon . It is the best thing I have ever eaten!

Erica Finley

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 !

Anthony Weatherly

The turkey is to die for. I know it's not typical BBQ meat but it's worth a try... trust me.

Elgar Vaivars

Hot sausage is nice and spicy . The Jet Black beer is good. I'm sure the portions are a good size for the average human?

Nicole

Awesome food and a great environment. Prices aren't bad and service is good. Will be back!

Ken Conrad

Came here when it opened. Lots of issues. 1 year later, wonderful. Try it again if you haven't been recently. Very good.

David Murray

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

Chow Down Detroit

The burnt ends are delicious!

Stacy V.

Burnt ends are delicious!! Ribs fall off the bone and brisket is yummy, so are the jalapeno brown beans.

Chow Down Detroit

Try the deviled eggs as a side!

Clifton McAfee

The ribs and pulled pork .

Dave Hogg

Get a combo dinner . There are too many great choices to only pick one.

Kurt Kramer

Wednesday nights - $2.50 craft beer with burnt ends is the PERFECT way to get past the middle of the week!

Richard Schulman

Good brunch options on Sunday as well The mess is awesome

Frankenmuth Brewery

Awesome selection of Michigan's Original Craft Beer ... a Frankenmuth Oktoberfest or Dunkel is a must!

Mac N Cheese Shepard's Pie is unbelievable! The smells of the smoker make this place even better.

If you don't appreciate Lockhart's BBQ, don't go to Texas! This is legit Texas BBQ ! Delicious.

Dan McMillan

Awesome food and a great craft beer selection .

Still working out the kinks. Be patient. There is good potential here. Also, great supporters of Michigan-made beer : 10 on tap plus many more in bottles.

If you like your BBQ sauce on the vinegar side, just add some of their Carolina sauce to any off their flavors.

Jorge Castro

ribs too dry. pulled pork and the brisket were excellent. will return for the local beer selection .

All sauces and dry rubs gluten free ! Lots of options. So far so good with no issues.
