Lockbox

Staying in the 21C hotel, didn't have high hopes for the limited breakfast menu. But it was excellent. Smoked sausage was very tasty, appeared home made. The crispy (paprika?) breakfast potatoes, great. Side of sausage gravy also good. Great service from a young lady with the prettiest hair.

Food was fantastic, ambiance was amazing, and the service was awesome. Would 100% recommend!

Me and my daughter and 2 of her friends went on a Monday and obviously I am 21 and my daughters and her friends have been 21 for months. However, the girl at the front and the manager insisted that we were not and we were turned away. I do not recommend this place, bad service, rude staff, and incorrect ID noticeability.

Not in a hurry to go back, but it was fine for brunch today. Limited brunch menu. Used Open Table to book the reservation. Out of the 4 of us, 2 would order what they got again to eat--the cheeseburger and the eggs Benedict. The sausage breakfast sandwich was too salty. The salad Nicoise lacked seasoning and was just bland. The bloody Mary's were too spicy. The crispy potatoes were delicious. Someone next to us got the banana bread with cream cheese frosting, which looked amazing. Bathrooms were clean, but you have to go a level down. I didn't notice the elevator until it was time to come back up. Taking that flight of stairs down was tough in heels. If we do come back to the Lockbox, we will probably hang in the bar area and just have drinks. The art on the walls was also interesting and the staff was friendly and generally attentive.

Every now and then you visit a place that the food matches the pictures and the comments. The food here is excellent. It's modern American southern cuisine and they hit all the right notes.

My burger, first and foremost, was perfect is every way. A hand made fresh meat patty blending flavors with pickles, hot red onion and their version of a 50s style drive in sauce served on a buttery crisped brioche bun that was just the right size. The flavors all came together in a menagerie of happiness.

I also ordered a side of charred broccoli which was neither soft nor crunchy nor burned. It was perfect.

The Pimento Mac and Cheese was creamy and pimento-e or exactly what you'd want to experience. The cheese was crusty on top and was never dry. The blend was made and baked with care in mind.

The service was good and attentive and the drinks were just ok. I wouldn't suggest going for the cocktails.

The food was out of this world and it's clear the chef and/or owner put a lot of thought and love into their product. The touch of providing cotton candy with the check is a wonderful accent.

Highly recommend this place if in the hood!

Lockbox may be inside of 21C Museum Hotel, but it's more than just a hotel restaurant. During our weeklong stay here we dined in once and ordered room service twice. Everything we had was delicious!

Room service orders were delivered within 30 minutes and had everything we needed to enjoy our food. The food was always hot and delicious.

Our breakfast here on the last day of our stay was in a group of about 30 people. The service was great and they handled our large group well. They even asked how we wanted checks split up at the end.

The hours here can be kind of odd so definitely check their site. Breakfast is available at 7am on weekdays, but on the weekends it's brunch only which doesn't start until 10am. This was a huge bummer our first rainy morning there after arriving at midnight the night before. They don't offer weekday lunch either.

The prices here are so reasonable! Even my Midwestern parents thought it was inexpensive. We were all pleased to have this restaurant in our hotel.

Our favorite item here was the Biscuit and Gravy and we ordered it every time. Oddly, this is only offered as an a la carte item instead of a meal. The biscuit was flaky and flavorful. The sausage gravy had a delicious, peppery flavor with plenty of crumbled sausage.

The Warm Griddled Banana Bread was so good! It was toasty on the outside with flaky, sweet banana bread inside. The Gem Lettuce Salad was huge with fresh ingredients. The dressing was light and refreshing. Side cups of fruit were plentiful with fresh fruit. Even sides of toast came with tasty jam.

Lockbox is a solid breakfast/brunch spot if you find yourself in this area!

The old fashioned was made with Ky Straight ice, always a nice touch. The charcuterie board was really tasty and the cheeseburger was decadent. So good! We sat in the bar area which had a relaxed vibe, and checked out the art in the lobby and the downstairs area after we ate.

Ate at Lockbox for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We stayed at the hotel there and had reservations for right at opening. We a were seated right away and were surprised when a famous couple from HGTV was seated at the table next to us. We tried to give them privacy and not "fangirl" while they had breakfast.

Anyway, service was great and food was very good as well. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before taking a tour of Ashland just down the street.

Service awesome food marginal. Table of 5 of us. It used to be so much better years ago. My husband couldn't even finish his risotto. My gnocchi was ok. I mean sorry to say marginal food at best

The food is fantastic! The atmosphere is very divine. The service was amazing, the staff is very kind and helpful!
