I have visited Lamberts now twice, the first time I went with a large enough group so that we tried just about everything on the menu. There was not a single thing that I didn't like, I don't believe you can even order wrong. The menu is creative and interesting, and turns eating into an experience. Where else can you go to get Devilled Eggs unless you're inviting your grandmother over or want to stink up your own house? I loved the beat salad, the ribs were so delicious people were hesitant to share them... and I usually don't order chicken because it tends to be boring but it was exceptionally tasty, not even the slightest bit dry, and I love sauces and didn't feel like I needed any, of course the BBQ sauce is so good I would take just about any excuse to use it on something, and if people wouldn't judge would probably take a sip out of those cute little jars they come in. My favorite drinks from the bar were the wines the waiters suggested, the Brady Creek lemonade, and most of all the Sanchez- a martini with jalapeno infused vodka making it a little spicy and completely eliminates that vodka bite. I crave those things, and Im not a big drinker, it's just the taste. Then the desserts... oh the desserts! Ice box pie, the bread pudding and a rootbeer float with a little vanilla vodka in it. Aside from the food, I had excellent service and loved the ambience. It's an old historic building but there's a hand painted/drawn menu on the wall above where the chefs cook that gives it a little kitschy feel which I love and which went along nicely with the waiters pearl-snap shirt uniforms. Every detail seemed so thought out and I can only imagine it will get better with time. And for whoever would even compare Lamberts to a place like Rudys or County Line is just silly. I mean really. Silly. The only problem I have with Lamberts is that I can't eat there every week because I live in Dallas.
