Lockwood Distilling Company - Richardson

Great place, I can't say enough good things about it. We went on a Saturday night and they had live music that was really good. You can make a reservation on their website, which I don't think is probably necessary, but it helps if you know when you're going. We got the Dirty South Tots, Chicken Tenders and Flank Steak. Everything was great, the steak was cooked perfectly! We filled up a bit on the tots (and a few drinks) so had to get to-go boxes, which I'm not at all upset about because it made a bomb breakfast Sunday morning!

So disappointed in both of our experiences with this place tonight Two of us arrived at eight and were told we could wait for a table or sit on the heated patio. We opted for the patio. It took 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Someone delivered drinks a few minutes later and walked away. The holly day drink did!n’t taste like described and didn’t come with the garnish, which made me wonder what else was left out. My husband’s Cuba Libre was excellent. Almost ten minutes later, a very disinterested young lady asked if we were hungry. I said yes and she said,”Well, do you want any food?” It felt so awkward. I ordered my shrimp and grits and my husband ordered another drink. It took a while for my shrimp and grits to arrive (with no cutlery) and my husband still had no new drink. I received cutlery and ate my lukewarm grits with hot shrimp and sausage (as if the grits waited for quite some time to be topped). When I was almost finished, the waitress stopped at our table and said she would go check on the drink: After I finished my grits, I walked inside to tell her we just wanted our check and no drink. She took the drink back to the bar and returned with our check WITH the second drink listed. My husband handed her a card without noticing. Then I walked back in to tell her it needed to be removed. A few minutes later, a woman (presumed manager) stands in the doorway as the waitress brings us the receipt. “She had already removed it.” No apology for the wait included (20 minutes for a Cuba Libre seems surprising). We paid and walked out with no acknowledgment from anyone. Coincidentally, the only other table on the patio had their drinks and appetizers comped. I didn’t expect that, but it certainly emphasized that we weren’t the only people to receive poor service. We walked next door to the brewery and my husband called to order a burger to go a few hours later. Lockwood said it would be ready “soon.” He asked,”Twenty minutes?” They told him yes. He went over there after 20 minutes, waited about five minutes to be acknowledged, then waited another five minutes with nobody speaking to him, so he left and ordered dinner from the food truck. What a disappointment. We really wanted to love this place.

First time at Lockwood Distilling Co was a few weeks ago for their delicious brunch! A few ladies and I decided to trip on over to check things out after meeting Big Tony at Urban Seafood for a pairing tasting he hosted called Tiki Cocktail Dinner. First of all, Big Tony was simply amazing. He brought great energy, very knowledgeable, had great self awareness of his audience (can you tell I’m HR), very personable and over all helped make our experience a great one. So much that we decided to take a trip over to the distillery. We were intrigued by the menu at first but once those plates sat before us and from the first bite, each of us was amazed at the flavor and very satisfied with our meals we ordered. We ordered chicken and waffles along with the shrimp and grits. So flavorful, chicken was juicy not dry and seasoned. Delish!!!!!! We are foodies fareals!! Ohhh but those brunch cocktails…yeah BRUNCH PUNCH was my favorite. We tried several others that were good. Lo and behold Big Tony shows up and showed out on hospitality along with the other staff members making us feel so welcome! He even gave us a light weight quick tour that was FULL of great insights and information. Shout out to the chef for selecting a perfect little snack for us come back crackers I they’re called with sliced pastrami and sauerkraut (you talking about delicious)!!! We’ll certainly be back! Thank you to all the staff but a special shout of to Big Tony and the Chef for making our Sunday brunch quite lovely!

Love this place! I used to mainly get TX brand whiskey from specs which is good, but the specialty liquors from Lockwood are really unique and different. The head distiller Jason is great! Their bourbon and vodka are two of our favorites in our current rotation. Plus good bites, live music and patio - super fun spot for a date night! Really can’t go wrong with this place, definitely recommend.

My husband and I absolutely love Lockwood Distillery! They have the best food and drinks. We love the atomsphere and the live music. It’s a fun place to go to and we love taking our out of town guests to Lockwood. Jason is an amazing staff member and always available to help! We can’t wait to go back soon and would highly recommend!
