Very tasty, inventive menu. Fresh and original takes on BBQ - very delicious. I would pass on the mac & cheese, it tasted like olive oil , which I wasn’t expecting. Kind, attentive servers. Overall great experience.

I worked with Jasmine at Lambert's to plan and host a full restaurant buyout for 120 people for my client at a business conference. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lambert's for business events! They went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well-fed and had a great experience. They had plenty of space for our group to mingle and have a great time. Service did not lag at all and everyone was very organized. The food was delicious and I thought reasonably priced for the quality and quantity we received. Nobody went hungry!! All of their staff members were attentive and friendly. We received positive feedback from all attendees that it was one of our most memorable group meals. The vibes are awesome and the drinks are strong! We would definitely return in the future if the group hosts again in Austin.

Went for a business dinner with a few of my colleagues and everyone said that the food was good. I ordered the chicken but it came out too dry and was hard to chew so probably just stick to the brisket because that was the loved by all!

Went here for a birthday/Father’s Day celebration. The atmosphere was awesome and we enjoyed the live music. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing!!!! I had the meat trio. The brisket was delicious and the meat from the rib was so tender and juicy. I didn’t care for the crumbly sausage - personal preference. We had mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese and the waffle fries (with the yummy dipping sauce) and loved every bite. A little pricey but for the location (in a historic building downtown), vibe and yummy food it is worth it for a special night.

Loved Lambert's! This was my favorite spot of my most recent trip to Austin. The steak special was out of this world. We shared a bunch of different entrees and sides and everything was phenomenal. Fried pickle spear app was also very tasty! Drinks were all great too... I loved the Rhu-Barbara Streisand. The atmosphere was high end in a historic building. All in all, highly recommend for a special dinner.

Had a wonderful meal here! Originally came for BBQ, but the waiter made the recommendation to order the Hanger Steak with a side of Brisket. I was NOT disappointed with this. Mouth watering brisket and one of the best steaks I've ever had. Big thanks to the waiter that suggested this. Enjoyed the house and hot bbq sauces with the brisket. Wonderful meal and a highlight of my Austin trip!

My friends and I really enjoyed our time at Lambert’s. We were a party of 5 and we order a range of plates to sample, as none of us had ever been to the restaurant before. Our favorite dishes all-around were actually the queso, bacon cheeseburger, and half-chicken plate. While the barbecue was pretty good, we were totally wowed by these three aforementioned dishes. The queso was some of the best we’ve ever had! The half-chicken, which I highly recommend, is easily enough for two people. The bacon cheeseburger just had such high-quality meat and was perfectly cooked and juicy. Lambert’s is definitely a cool spot worth trying out! Great for groups or a date. A lot of nice drinks on their menu as well.

Great atmosphere in a historic building and nice layout. Upstairs has a stage and other bar for live performance. We shared the three meat sampler and it was good. Just wish it came with more than a single slice of brisket… collard greens tasted great. Banana pudding was rich. Mussels appetizer was pretty good too
