Ain't nothin' wrong with a Little Trouble...

Nestled in the basement of an old boxing gym, Little Trouble is simultaneously everything and nothing that you would expect. Our menu is Chef Casey Wilcox's celebration of all worlds of food - German, Mexican and Asian influences with a Texas backbone - unconventional takes on BBQ (in the BBQ Capitol of Texas) using our custom Mill Scale smoker - playful plates and big steaks - spicy cocktails and crunchy salads - international wines and local spirits.

Kitchen open till close every night (Wed-Sun). We accept reservations for inside and outdoor sidewalk seating. Bar seating is first come, first serve. For reservations for parties of more than 10 people, please call. Sunday brunch is held upstairs in The Eldorado.

    Our party of 7 enjoyed an amazing meal! Everything we ordered was prepared and presented perfectly. Those of us who ordered steaks agree they were among the best we have ever eaten. Be sure to order their Party Bread and Calamari as appetizers. And, my son wants me to add that his burger was DELICIOUS!

    Absolutely horrible experience for my mom on Mother’s Day. They were out of all the items we wanted to order, food was cold, long wait time, food not worth the price. You would think if you are only open one day a week for brunch you’d have everything together. No one in our party of 6 will be back.

    Outstanding food options! Calamari, miso salmon, spiral twirl potatoes, burger, fries, and drinks were all over the top. The drink menu was robust and designed from a seasoned bartender. Excellent wine list as well. The desert looked like landscaping the design was so beautiful, it was fascinating to eat! Thank you for a wonderful night out.

    I’m 100% certain Little Trouble provides the best dining experience in Lockhart. The food was quite good. Ambiance is lovely. Drink prices were on the high side. But, I guess that’s just the new normal everywhere.

    Little Trouble was everything I expected it to be. Loved the location, the ambiance, the drinks and food. We tried almost all the starters and a few drinks. Everything was perfect - can’t go wrong! Had the Italian Kiss, Little Sister and the Dolly ( . ) ( . ) with the take home cup! Definitely will be back to try the mains.

    Excellent food, prepared perfectly! Kind of a little speak-easy vibe. Such a great value especially if you get the special. We got the oysters and the chicken sausage for appetizers and I got the scallops and my husband got the burger with the herb French fries.

    Oh my gooooodness our valentines date at little trouble was so much fun! The food was so tasty and creative and you can feel such cohesion and excitement the chefs have making it into an experience for their guests. We also were drooling over the burlesque performance that paired perfectly with all the flavor combos happening for us. Thanks for making it a special night for me n my honey <3

    Second time having dinner at Little Trouble. So glad we made a reservation since it was a mad house when we were there. I really love the concept of the restaurant. The food is good, but not great. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it had really good flavors. Only complaint about the calamari was the sauce that it was topped with made the calamari soggy. It was missing the best part of a deep fried dish, the crunch. My partner ordered the pork chop that was juicy and tender, we both loved the cabbage. We also ordered the steak. Steak itself was great, but both the steak and sweet potato were drowning in gravy. The gravy was cold, so it made my $40 steak cold. The gravy has really good flavors, but less would have been more. The banana pudding cake is what we had for dessert, and that was also really good.

    Good concept and atmosphere (although loud) but we had issues with the food and drink. The the party rice was too oily to eat much of and the chicken experience was overly salted (even the pickles were salty). My boyfriend and I ordered the bartender's choice cocktail and we requested two different types of drinks, but somehow we ended up with two palomas (with salted rims). Overall, the experience was a let-down. The drinks were standard, the food too salty and oily to eat much of, and the bill seemed high for what we got. I'm hoping they were just having an "off" night, because the location, service, and decor are pretty fantastic.

    This place is different. The food was pretty good but not great. The service was excellent sheeba was really nice. She was honest and accommodating. The waitress was very attentive and the other wait staff person was super helpful. I would have rated the restaurant higher if the food was over the top good. Meaning if the price matched the quality. I can’t really recommend anything in particular on the menu because it was good not great. I don’t think I’ll go back but if I do it’ll because the service is so good.

    My husband and I love dining here. The only thing I wish is that they offered more sides. Food and cocktails are consistently spot on, the staff is very attentive and friendly. Love this spot!

    Little Trouble is an excellent small restaurant and bar. The drinks are strong and delicious. The food is excellent. The ambiance is unique and fun (it's in a basement but feels more like a speakeasy). The service was just ok; this wasn't my first time and the service was better on previous visits.
