While it might have been ludicrous a few years ago to suggest that Lockhart would have such close ties to Austin's food scene 30 miles away, it has indeed supplanted more populous exurbs as a dining destination.

We hope to not ruin Lockhart, but it must be told, the capital of Texas barbecue has the makings of a diner's paradise, separate from the smoked meats that have made the town famous. Just south of Austin, the seat of Caldwell County has quietly established itself as a haven for hospitality industry veterans looking to expand as Austin outgrows its own boundaries.

The books occupy a corner nook of windows – mostly titles by female authors about wine and food. This complements Askins' selection of wines, which is predominantly from vintners who are female, minority, and/or practice low intervention. Old Pal has fried chicken, jojos , agave and whiskey spirits, and ice-cold beer. There's live music Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Shuffleboard and darts are free on Tuesdays. It is indeed a quintessential old-school Texas bar, a new-school Texas icehouse.

On March 19, 2020, Gov. Greg Abbott officially limited social gatherings to 10 or fewer people, effectively closing bars, restaurants, and schools; Commerce Cafe opened on May 29, 2020, when restaurants were allowed to open at 50% capacity. Undeterred, Heard and Lemley worked to make Commerce Cafe the answer to what the dining-out folks of Lockhart wanted. Their menu was first guided by a local discussion board, and the menu items were piloted at Foreign & Domestic.

"I wanted the menu and everything else to reflect where we are in Texas and the vibe of the place," says Casey Wilcox, chef and part-owner of Little Trouble."Walking into this room kind of sealed that deal." Wilcox, former head chef of Justine's, has imported a similarly sultry ambience to the square, though adorned his corner with his unique aesthetic.
