Great vibe and fantastic live music. The food was excellent and provided an elevated BBQ experience. Wide range of thoughtfully crafted cocktails.

Jade, Mary Cecelia and the incredible team help us execute a big dinner for customers. Our guests raved about about the food and service. Order the Dusk til dawn drink!! Loved it. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed everything at lamberts. We sat at the bar, the bartender Matt was great. The chipotle queso was amazing. The brisket and the pulled pork sandwich were also great.

The closest you can get to Texas barbeque at a nice sit down restaurant. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu but highly recommend the smoked turkey pastrami for lunch!

BOLD flavors! Wow, out of all the dishes we ordered red fish, hanger steak, cheeseburger, ribs, brisket, there was not a bite I didn't enjoy! Friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, very clean restrooms. Slightly difficult to talk because music was a little loud. Overall a super enjoyable evening with attentive friendly staff and excellent food!

Had an amazing lunch here recently. The brisket was amazing, along with the mouthwatering ribs. This was my first time here. Food, customer service, and atmosphere was amazing. And, they allowed me to order double brisket for my 3 meat plate!

My boyfriend and I went here last night on my last night visiting him in Austin. What a perfect spot! The food was at a level that I haven't seen in a long while. Top level quality, rich, full of umami.... Amazing. The food even came out quickly and at a great place. We never had to wait but didn't feel rushed in any way.

We had the best waitress in town! She was amazing and so patient with all my food allergies and preferences for food that wasn't spicy. We didn't love this enough to be back but the staff was delightful. The flavors will be right for many. Try it!

Loved the food and the customer service here. A very lovely restaurant in downtown Austin serving delicious food and drinks. Our waiter recommended the daily special salad and we loved it. Grilled bell peppers with I don't remember what but it was heavenly. The wedge salad was amazing so was the Mac and cheese. The brisket was perfectly cooked and the ribs were out of this world delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, has two stories and is located in a very historic building among the new huge builds. I love the charm of this place and the food. If you are ever in Austin don't hesitate to try this place out.

Giving this place a 4 for the live music, staff, and appetizers. We sat upstairs during dinner and listened to the live music - the jazz band was fabulous!! It is very loud though so don't expect to have too many conversations during dinner if you are sitting near them like we did. However, great upstairs bar next to the band if you are dining alone or just want to drink and listen to the band. We started with the "CHIPOTLE QUESO WITH BURNT ENDS" this appitizer was amazing! Some of the best queso I have ever had. I recently watched a TikTok video where people reviewed 12 different queso's in Austin and this was ranked as #1. They also give you free cornbread that is yummy. For our entree we got the "THREE MEAT SAMPLER". The actual BBQ itself was alright - it's the reason why I knocked it down to 4 stars. I personally would only go back for drinks and appetizers. We also got a side of mac and cheese that was very good. Pros: Appetizers, Staff, Atmosphere, Bar Cons: bbq
