Lock, Hop & Barrel Brewery Restaurant

Absolute worse tourist trap in Söderköping. Mediocre food with terrible and rude service. Never again.nnWe 2 adults and 3 children under 10 ordered 5 burgers which ended up being 1064kr. These are astronomically large prices for such mediocre food. The view is nothing to boast about as it’s full of people right next to you and the little train that keeps passing by also ruins the atmosphere.nnI suggest you dine elsewhere when in Söderköping.

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!

They seem to be running a smooth operation where the whole process is streamlined for you to reduce as much waiting time as possible.nI was very impressed by the food aswell.nDo recommend!

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.

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...
