Lock, Hop & Barrel Brewery Restaurant

We come here every year at least once or twice while we are visiting from California. I cannot drive through Söderköping without stopping for lunch here! Absolutely love this place!

The only downgrade was that I ordered the Bacon,bacon and Bacon and the portion of bacon was like the number of the word bac…! But tasteful!!

A place with huge potential but a long way to go, poor service, stressful staff, no way to change anything on anything due to that the waiter said it was to many people, even if the place was almost empty. After some convincing we got to change from meat to halloumi on my wife's burger. And prices are pretty hefty regards to what you get.nnSo, about the burgers... Noting special, small portions of beef, undercooked bacon, ok fries and a coleslaw that tastes nothing. I was a bit disappoint due to that I really love burgers.nnOn the other hand, my wife's burger was the MOST disgusting burger she had ever eaten, the halloumi was soggy, the bread was extremely dry gluten free because she has celiaki, and adding cheddar cheese on top of that, no bueno. The burger sauce was oily and to fatty. With a bit of TLC that burger could have been excellent, but no :nnConclusion:nI unfortunately would not recommend this place now in the summertime... Maybe the food is better in the fall and the staff are less stressful.nnWell, huge potential but a long way to go : Nice place to sit and have a drink, watch the canal and the people, but that's it...

The only spot in town with a proper beer selection. AleSmith and Drake’s on tap at the moment. Too bad I’m the designated driver.nnPretty good burger as well. Had the Triple Pepper and it came with crispy pickled jalapeños and not the ordinary grey mushy ones that always fail to impress.

Nice place and location. Sat outside for dinner at the evening and they had some spots heated as well as blankets.nNice selection of burgers and beer.nPricerange would be around 270-320:- foor food and a drink.
