Was our first visit, and will certainly not be our last.
The service was great…our beverages stayed filled and we didn’t have to wait on anything.
The unsweetened iced tea tasted fresh brewed – I am particular about “several day old tea” taste. The food was tasty and well presented. We tried the Not-so-common BLT and the Mushroom Risotto. Reasonable wait time on the food preparation.
The BLT bacon was good cuts of bacon that were absolutely perfectly cooked. The eggs were just right…cooked enough to not be too messy, but not overcooked so the yolk was like a nice sauce on the bacon. The fries were perfectly crispy and potato-y.
The risotto was creamy and a good consistency. It was seasoned well, allowing the mushrooms to be the star of the show.
Great location, it’s right in the town square across from the courthouse.
Will try it again based on our first experience.

Exceptional! We’re huge fans of Foreign & Domestic in Austin and have been wanting to get here for years. Space is beautiful, lovely views of the courthouse. Food was incredible. Best coconut cream pie I’ve had in my life! Their biscuits include sneaky cheddar cheese not listed on the menu which would be good to know about, but otherwise everything was amazing and we can’t wait to come back!

Cute cafe. Friendly staff. They make as much from scratch as they can. We ordered the popovers – absolutely delicious and their compound butter is awesome. My husband ordered the spaghetti and said it was good. I ordered the tomato soup – wonderful – and the caesar salad with grilled chicken. I would have rated the food a 4 until I went to eat the last bit of chicken as it was pink inside. We talked to them about it, and they were very sweet and gave us a discount. They explained how they cook the chicken, and theoretically, it should have been done so not sure what happened there. We will go there again when we’re next time we’re going through town.

This was a great find passing through Lockhart, TX! Food was artistically delicious and atmosphere felt like you were visiting a family friend.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while. The food was outstanding, along with the amazing service. Everyone we met was very kind and helpful. You could tell that they all care and want to be there. They put a lot of effort into what they do and it shows. The food was seasoned perfectly. Every bite was a blast of unique, delicious flavors. I’d highly recommend checking this place out!

One of our usual and favorite places to eat. Every time we come in, the food is amazing and delicious and the service is super friendly. They have one of the best chicken fried steaks I’ve ever had and their steak is always perfect, you have to try it! My usual dish is the roasted chicken with the seared greenbeans and you can’t go wrong with the fried gizzards and pickles or the popovers as a starter. This place is great for a date night, complete with cocktails and beer or a casual place to grab dinner with the family(they usually have a Monday night family meal deal). They can get pretty busy on the weekends or during First Friday but the food and drinks are always worth the wait.

Lockhart is more than just BBQ. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Monday family night at Commerce Cafe—great food and great service! Servings were generous. As delicious as everything was, we couldn’t eat it all. Best fried chicken I’ve ever tried, hands down. Sides were on point and the biscuits had great crumbly texture. They were HUGE! We took home leftovers. I came back to the other half of my biscuit later that night, amazingly, I thought the biscuits tasted even better cold. Not sure why, but the flavors were even more pronounced after the biscuit had cooled down. All around delicious! We will be back. =)

Other than the Rancid oil on seared green beans
Was pretty good. The Cesar Salad was the best thing we ate. Chicken fried steak was skirt steak, tenderized? Was tough to chew.
I mentioned the oil bottles left on hot surface would cause the oil to become rancid to the server she told cook but the bottles of oil remain there today. ♀️

I really enjoy leaving reviews for others, hoping it helps the next person decide.
About Commerce Cafe, my family and I were amazed how good their food was.
We ordered the family meal today, which was chicken fried chicken with mash potatoes, broccoli, yeast roll, and a Ceasar
salad.
Everything was perfection and the perfect portion for the family.
Hands down the best restaurant so far in Lockhart!!!

This place is a gem, seemingly gourmet food at a fraction of the price. Servings are very generous, the Roasted Chicken w.mashed potatoes , carrots was the star of the show ! My hubby had the chicken fried steak , the sauce is different , but not bad . The crispy potatoes and roasted cauliflower are borderline addicting. Im not even sure I can put into words how spectacular the popovers are !!! They have a very unique but welcoming flavor . I’m glad we live many hours away cause I’d be coming here to cash my check every week . We got a slice of derby and a slice of lime buttermilk pie which will be joining us on our drive home , but I have no doubt they will be just as rewarding !
