History

Established in 2015.

As stories go… There’s a middle, then there was the before and now the now… How we get to here, is what makes the world go ’round… Even here in the midwest… it’s kinda like your Grandpa telling you about the one that got away. So who better to start this great «Fish Tale» of of sorts with… A Bourbon County legend, Great John Emerson «poppa» Lockwood.

Now understand that John Emerson started in the restaurant business in the roaring, but very dry 1920’s… You see his dad, Charlie H. Lockwood had bourbon County’s very 1st Hamburger stand. It was those Happy Day’s working for his dear ol’ Dad that inspired our «poppa» to open «Lockwood’s» after wwII (where the current VFW is today)… Besides operating an occasional Honky Tonk or Diner on the side while serving Bootlegger’s and their juice… And even allegedly Bonnie & Clyde… It Eventually led to «Lockwood’s Steak House»… a well known Bourbon Co. favorite, until his passing in 1972. In fact, John Emerson was frying chicke

I stopped here while on the road, because I didn’t want fast food. Located in a strip mall near Walmart, this is a shark themed Tex Mex bar and restaurant. Sound random? Yes, yes it was random. Random is the center theme of this review.
The décor was taking a half-​hearted stab at Polynesian.
The menu was huge and all over the place, but there was a certain Tex Mex theme throughout.
The bar was dark during the middle of the day and every one of the dozen or so TVs was on football (naturally).
The drink menu was filled with girly concoctions.
BF got mini tacos and burritos. They appeared to be straight out of the freezer case at Sam’s. He said they were fine. My spinach artichoke quesadilla was good, if nothing special.
The server was friendly.
Two apps and two drinks came to $ 30. I wouldn’t stop again, but I guess if you live here this wouldn’t be a bad place to catch a game.

Really neat place. Lots of tvs for the sports fans. Staff was friendly and had our appetizer and drinks out quick. Burger came at appropriate time and was amazing. Fried pickles were awesome also. Fries good too.

Management is super, service staff is okay, as are some of the menu items, nothing exciting though. Drinks are expensive. Stay away from the tacos – The worst tacos we have ever had (Taco Bell is gourmet by comparison). They need a new recipe for the taco meat.

Extremely slow service… Food just OK. Soup was cold, French Dip good, fries cold and soggy. I will be surprised if this place lasts long.

A nice new addition to the VERY small number of places to eat in Nevada.
The service was extremely slow. It took forever for the waitress to get a beer from the bar to our table. I think it is a ordering process thing though. Enter in the computer and then wait for the beers to get set on the bar. By then they have to take orders from other tables and get the food out. And if there is a big table ahead of you… be prepared to wait. The food seems to come out in the order it was placed and not by what is ready first — even your apps. They do fix mistakes with a smile though.
The food is really pretty good for a pub. My pulled pork BBQ sliders were terrific! The fried pickles are some of the best I have ever had. The menu is extensive for a small place like this. Terrific salads and you can get a small or large. That was a nice surprise. They need to get some Ott’s dressing as an option. It is like water in Nevada for salad eaters. The burgers were terrific! The mac and cheese with bacon and jalapenos was creamy cheesy goodness.
They have daily specials on menu items. Save on some burgers and get some pot roast!
They are proud of their beers. Sure they have a nice selection of the basic and local micro brews from around the area. Love me some Boulevard Wheat. Honestly, they may be overpricing themselves on the beer though. $ 5 for most drafts is WAY too high for the area.
I hope they survive. It’s tough in Nevada to offer good food, good service and keep prices at $ 8-​$ 12 per entrée. Good luck. See you again when I am home next. It’s a 4 star place once they get the very long waits for food and beer figured out.
Noise level can be a bit much when it gets packed. Lots of TVS turned to the games — Royals, Cards, Chiefs.
