It’s a must-visit spot for great beer, great vibes, and a great time!

I love coming here whenever I’m in cedar park. They have trivia nights on Tuesday and those are super fun, especially after a couple beers. The Greek food truck is my favorite and they have plenty of options for seating.

Very cool place. Several food trucks, pretty good options for food. Line was a little long for beer orders. Only one person behind the bar, but he worked as fast as he could. Maybe help didn't show up? Beautiful and very large outdoor beer garden type place. Plenty of fans, misters, and shade trees made the hot weather tolerable. Above average beer selection. Definitely recommend.

Visitted The Good Lot on a tuesday evening and planned not to drink alcoholic beverage but….. the Hefeweizen was so good that I ended up drinking 3 of those. We had a kid in our group of 5 friends and this place has an outdoor playground with lights and mist that helped with the temperature outside. The kid in our group definitely had a blast and so did we.

Awesome food truck lot that’s relatively new, I believe two(2) months old. I gotta say this outdoor area is AWESOME!!! It’s in a perfect location for north Austin residents and the best part is they have a lot to offer in the beer selection for those that are of age! Shoutout to Yaadbird! Dude knows what he’s doing when it comes to fried chicken!! Check this lot out y’all!!

Great location kid-friendly with a large yard lots of great drink selection. Drink stop at 9:45 no liquor license. Nothing wrong with that just leaving the review just in case anyone is wondering.

My wife and I have been coming up here twice a week for a year. The atmosphere, beer and good food are a perfect way of winding down a hectic week. The live music never disappoints either

Very nice place to grab some cold beers with a nice yard for the kids to play! We had a great time!

Great place to go that has big selection of local austin beers on tap, live music, indoor area and outdoor area with trees, family friendly and dog friendly, with 4 food trucks with a good variety of food to choose from.

Amazing family friendly beer garden! With a vast patio, kid friendly, great for large groups .. huge trees with lotta shade(must for texas weather)! Whether you get a drink from there or not, just relax on the patio and order food from one of the four food trucks that are on-site.. get a tarp and make a lil picnic! Pet friendly.. couldn’t ask for more

One of our favorite spots to hang out, eat and have a few drinks. There is a BBQ truck, Asian cuisine truck, Mediterranean truck and a Venezuelan truck so plenty to choose from. Kid friendly with a play ground. They also have water bowls and treats for the puppers!

Great kid friendly spot in Cedar Park. Service is outstanding and the space is open and has a playscape. Selection is decent with gluten free cider options. Dog friendly too so bring the pups. The food trucks are solid! Lots of options the hardest part is picking which one to visit.

No notes! Staff was super friendly, loved the cider I ordered, bathrooms were clean, and the birria tacos from the taco truck were soooo good. Will definitely be going back.

The Good Lot is the new spot to hit up in Cedar Park off New Hope. Food trailers here, beer on tap, covered patio, great outdoor seats and space, place for kids and pets. It has only been open for 3 weeks and the word is getting out. As we were leaving tonight, the park lot was pretty full. Great place to relax with buddies after work or with the family with a wooden teepee for the kids to climb and corn hole. Head over to The Good Lot and get some food from The Rice is Right and Oink Mobile.

Great family friendly spot, but the staff is exceptional! Jason noticed that we spilled a beer and replaced it - no questions asked. That’s 10 star service! Thank you, Jason!

Chill place, fun live music, several food truck options like burgers and Mediterranean food

Great relaxed spot to grab a beer or glass of wine! My kids enjoy the climbing structure and the freedom to roam. The food trucks are great, but I do miss the Oink Mobile and I wish they had pizza (for my kids' sake!!). I love meeting up with friends for a drink

Very cool place, lots of local beers on tap and right next to the dog park. Tried YaadBird, it was quite good, excited to try the other trucks next time. Great looking huge property, with big grassy area. Awesome place, will be back soon!

A fantastic and wonderful spot to relax and enjoy an evening. The lot has continually evolved since opening with an awesome facility, turf lawn with fire pits and picnic tables under a canopy of beautiful oak trees, a food court with great independent trucks, expanded parking lot, and great beer. Highly recommend to give them a try, particularly on a week night when it's just a bit less crowded.

This is a great spot for outdoor groups with some nice indoor options as well, my most importantly it’s a place I can take my best friend in the universe for his birthday, where people will kindly ask to approach and greet him, which he loves and lives for.

This is a great place in Cedar Park with a wide open space to sit in and around as well as a covered patio with picnic tables. The staff is really nice and friendly and they have a wide range of drinks. They also have live music which is a huge bonus. We went here and had a really fun time. The only downside is they have one playscape area and tons of kids of all ages climbing and playing around it. Most parents leave their kids unsupervised, so if you have little ones you may keep an eye on them. Hopefully they'll put up another playscape area, so there are two. Otherwise for adults wanting to go out and have a drink outside, this has a great place to visit.

We went during the week and it was very quiet and perfect for us and our 4 year old son. Large trees provided great shade and they had misters running the whole time. Great beers on tap and we ate at The Rice is Right and it was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

This place is my go-to for a great and relaxing afternoon after a busy day at work. The staff is awesome, and the atmosphere is very friendly and enjoyable.

A really great space with quality food trucks and an area for drinks! Their outdoor area is great with fans and misters as well as a covered indoor area. Plenty of food trucks to choose from - The Rice Is Right is my go to.

We LOVE The Good Lot. My sister brought my niece and nephew into town and I knew this was the place to go. 😊 No complaints at all about parking since they expanded the lot, which was such a great investment!

The Good Lot is such a vibe! The staff are super friendly, the drinks are on point (both boozy and non-alcoholic, which I love), and the food trucks keep things fun with different options for everyone.

Great little brand new brew pub. Lots of shade area, playground, firepit, dog and kid friendly. Four food trucks to choose from, the actual pub has garage doors to open for evening breezes. Life music the night we visited. Nice that it's close to home. Good selection of beers.

I loved it, the place, the food 🤤 The guys from La Catrina and the girls from Bare Pops 👌 everything was delicious.

We have just discovered the best relaxing space in cedar park- & this is it! Rest assured that we will be back frequently! Good beer, live music, amazing food trucks + positive vibes. Not to mention VERY dog and family friendly! So much outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful weather and covered patio for those who don’t want to be in the sun! Food trucks: The Oink Mobile (BBQ bites/Sandwiches) The Rice Is Right (Asian Kitchen with vegetarian options) RedFin (Cajun Seafood & Tacos) Four Brothers (Venezuelan Empanadas & Arepas) All are absolutely fantastic! & they have food for any craving. Thanks for such a good time @thegoodlot ☺️

Excellent atmosphere and beer selection! I especially love that there's tons of shaded space to gather outside, and that there's plenty of room for kids to run around and even a small playground for them to play on. There were also five food trucks to choose from. Parking was full when we arrived, but fortunately someone was leaving so a spot opened up. Otherwise I'm not sure what nearby parking options, if any, we would have found. Also, next time we'll bring camping chairs and a picnic blanket as the tables and chairs fill up quickly.

Went to the rice is right. FIRE. Great food...I'll be back.

Update 10/16/21: We have been back to The Good Lot a few times since my last review. There are still flies, but not as bad.. just eat quick and throw your food away in the trash. There are 5 food trucks now (burgers, Venezuelan, chicken, rice bowls, pies). This place is always crowded so make sure to bring some lawn chairs. We love this place! --- This place has great potential to be a very cool food truck and beer hangout. They had a good selection of cold beers, all though I would have liked to see a good hef or citrus beer, something similar to Bluemoon or Shocktop, on tap. The grassy area with picnic tables is nice and shaded with a few oak trees. There is a place for kids to play. There are currently three food trucks with a spot for one more. The parking lot is nice, but should be expanded towards the back. The dirt lot in the back gets muddy when it rains. The flies were really bad. The staff said they are having an exterminator come soon to deal with the flies. I don't know if I could enjoy my time there unless they figure out how to deal with the flies. I would also like to see chicken tenders from the Yaad Bird truck, rather than bone-in chicken. The Nashville hot flavor was amazing, but it's hard to eat bone-in chicken when you're sitting in an adirondack chair. My wife really enjoyed the 50/50 burger from the Oink Mobile truck. I will be back to try this place again. It's a great addition to the Leander/Cedar Park area.

The Good Lot? More like The Great Lot! This is the perfect spot for families, kids, and friends to hang out at! It is also dog friendly and has plenty of external space for a nice little game of corn hole or to just sit around and do your own thing. The live music adds so much to this place's relaxing and chill atmosphere. The food trucks are fantastic and offer vegetarian options as well! I think there are some gluten free options too. The beer selection is great and there are plenty of non alcoholic drinks to choose from too. The staff was friendly and efficient and seem to take great care of the place. I have no complaints about the restrooms either.

Awesome place for the family on nice weather days, we go there regularly now. The plant market event was amazing! Hope they continue that. We bought tons of plants, ate food that day (twice since we stayed so long), and had plenty of cold drinks. One plant tent released hundreds of ladybugs with the kids to help with vegetation around the community. Very cool and the kids loved playing with all the lady bugs before they flew away to their new homes. Will be back very soon!

A family friendly food truck and beer garden park. This place is always busy so thankfully there is a ton of parking. The beer and wine selection is eclectic with TX very well represented. Everyone will be able to find something to their tastes as the food trucks are quite diverse.

Great place for some family fun. Good dogs allowed on leash. It was a very good experience. Very reasonably priced with some nice and varied food trucks. Plenty of space with misters so it doesn't get too hot. We'll certainly be back!

Super cool neighborhood spot, good selection of beer and wine, good selection of food trucks, playscape for the kids, big outdoor area with picnic tables, fire pits, can bring your own chairs if the tables fill up. Very chill atmosphere, staff is nice.

Great place for a variety of food trucks, beer garden, live music in the evenings sometimes. Dog and kid friendly. Snow cones in the summer. Rice is Right, Oink, and YaadBird are the regulars. Couple other trucks rotate in the fourth spot.

The Good Lot is family friendly and casual place to hang with family friends over live music and cold draft beer. They have some food trucks and several dozen draft beer choices. They had tables, chairs and firepits, but you can also bring your own folding camp chair.

It’s a beautiful place for get together with friends. It seemed really crowded on a Friday night but that’s to be said it’s close to the weekend and it’s a great place to hang out. Parking is hard but you can park in the neighborhood across the street. the food is absolutely amazing And the prices are pretty good some a little pricey, but it’s worth it.

Great food options from the food trucks. Four Brothers gluten free options were very tasty! Atmosphere is amazing, live music was great and not too loud. Definitely plan to come back. Corn hole and Jenga available to play when asked.

Great spot for an evening hang. There is a covered patio with craft beer serviced. Few food trucks (we tried the right one and it was great food), and plenty of picnic seats in a park area and a nice kids play corner. Dog friendly spot to chill with the family. Great staff.

Stopped by here as we were leaving Cedar Bark Park. Wonderful experience! Clean tables outdoors as well as covered. Under the cover there are fans and a bar. Water bowls for dogs. Playground for your human dogs... I mean kids. 4 ish food trucks. We personally tried the weird food truck. Name is misleading... The food didn't seem too weird. But it was delicious! The image is of one of the combo plates! More than enough for 2 people! Don't sleep on this place or the food truck. Definitely worth a visit.

*Update: I've been here five times already and it's been amazing everytime! The beer and cider selection is really good. The space and bathrooms are always clean and well cared for. The food trucks always do an amazing job and the food is stellar. Tacos La Catrina has some of the best quesabirria tacos I've had in texas and I'm only disappointed I don't have room for more. Big thumbs up.

Great watering hole in Cedar Park. Good beer, terrific variety of food trucks. We got honey harissa wings and beef/lamb kefta wrap, beef/lamb kefta plate from Fez food truck. Delicious!

This place is super legit! It's great for all ages as they have a playground for kids, a lot of seating and area to hang out, and great food trucks and beer options. So happy to have this additional to our area and excited to visit this place a lot in the future.

From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by the laid-back vibe, towering shade trees, and plenty of seating that makes it easy to relax and unwind. The misters are a game-changer on hot Texas days—keeping things refreshingly cool while you sip on a cold local brew. What really sets The Good Lot apart is how kid-friendly it is. There's a great play area where kids can roam, climb, and laugh. It’s the kind of place where you can hang out for hours and everyone leaves happy. Add in top-notch counter service, an all-star lineup of delicious food trucks, and you've got the perfect combo of fun, flavor, and comfort. Whether you're catching up with friends or having a casual night out with the family, The Good Lot delivers every time.

Great place to bring family/kids to hang out. There are several food options from food trucks. Kids can run around on the turf and some kick soccer ball there. You can't bring any water bottle etc but they have free water available. Generally plenty of parking spots. There's parking lot across the street as well.

Super cool beer garden. Good for kids and dogs. Nice vibe with music. Lots of shade and tables to sit outside. Good service and nice beer selection.

Walking distance from the neighborhood, as well as the local dog park. It's a Tuesday night, and 2 of 3 food trucks open, but space for more. It's more spacious than it looks. The outside area has a large kids' playground, yard games, and the covered patio area was cool and spacious, breezy. It was a beautiful night. Lots of brewery choices. I'm no IPA specialist, but it's a wide selection. Parking is larger than it looks from the street. As popular as it looks, they'll need more parking, so arrive early.

Great local beer place with fantastic food trucks. Hung out here with my brother and my niece. Definitely family friendly.

food is amazing! had the fried cauliflower and was very impressed. wife is gluten free - lots of choices! very clean and a good place to hang out with the kids too.

Vicki Quinton

Enjoyed meeting my brother here for drinks and food. I ordered a vegetarian fried rice and a sour. Delish! It was cold outside, but warm inside. I loved that our dog was not only allowed, but welcomed with treats and pats on her head! I plan on going back soon.

Cris T.

I got the Lamb and Beef Kendra Over Rice Plate. It was very good this is my 2nd time ever trying Mediterranean food and I highly recommend this place, it was nice and fresh. There is plenty of seating area as well so you don’t have to worry about not having space. We got the Rice is Right as well, the little wieners and rice cakes were the perfect match with chili mustard sauce.

Matthew Floyd

My wife and I went there today and such great weather and such a cool place for a date day. Loved sitting in the chairs and watching some college football. Loved the draft root beer but I have had the real beer in the past and it is great. The food trucks are all great. I ate at Fez Mediterranean (wow) and she had tacos. Highly recommend.

La Reina

The Good Lot is such a vibe! The staff are super friendly, the drinks are on point (both boozy and non-alcoholic, which I love), and the food trucks keep things fun with different options for everyone. It’s also really family and pet-friendly. Kids running around, dogs hanging out, just good energy all around. They even have fans and misters so you’re not melting while you sip. Can’t wait to go back!

Kate

The Good Lot is always a nice place to go. Even if I go solo with my dog I enjoy the atmosphere and the people. The staff are always very friendly and make you feel at home. There is a good selection of beer and wine, my favorite honestly is a good rose’. They even have water bowls for the dogs. The playground is a good place for the kids to run and play. The kids often come up to pet my dog and she loves it. The families that visit often talk to you and it feels like a neighborhood kind of place. The food trucks always have great food. I like me a good German burger when I go. On certain days they will have live music which is some of the best I’ve heard honestly. It’s a great place to see friends, celebrate a birthday or just hang out and relax.

Heather Kelly Watson

Went to The Good Lot after a splash pad morning. The food was delicious, it was so hard to choose between trucks so everyone got something different and we ate family style. The coffee/popsicle cart was the perfect post meal treat. Plenty of seating, cooling fans, and shade. Our toddler ran around waving at everyone. Many people had dogs on leashes. Great way to spend some time together. There is a large outdoor TV as well so I’m sure when a good game is on, it would be great viewing (we watched part of a golf tourney). 10/10 would recommend. The indoor area is still open air but felt cool when we walked through on a warm day.

Daniela mhardin

We love going to The Good lot, this is a very family oriented venue. Live music on weekends and great variety of artisan beer, wines and food trucks. There is a little for everyone and it’s dog friendly!! So we love bringing our pup!

Alok Pal

We had a fantastic time at this brewery! It’s super kid-friendly, which made it easy for the whole family to relax and enjoy. Their beer selection is excellent — plenty of options for every taste. The large, clean patio was perfect for hanging out, and the food trucks offered some great eats. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Sam Keske

Great mix of fresh local beer, entertainment for kids and adults, and access to a variety of food trucks (they don't sell food themselves). Not many places on this side of town with playsets for kids. Beer lines got backed up on the first nice day of the year, but such is to be expected. Fair prices and friendly service. Great asset to the local community.

Lance Green

What a great place to hang out with family and friends. Great food and a great selection of beers for you to enjoy in the awesome Biergarten. Lots of tables and plenty of shade make this place one of our favorites.

Ate at Lazy Gs barbecue while here! It is a really cool atmosphere and definitely will be coming back again to try out the other food trucks! all beers are local Austin beers, which is super cool to be able to try. They have fans and misters so it doesn’t feel hot at all and there is plenty of space even if it is busy!! Dogs are welcome on the leash!

A great spot to hang out with friends or family in the evening. They offer a fantastic selection of beers, from IPAs to fruity options. The ambiance is perfect for Texas weather, and you can enjoy delicious food from the trucks parked just outside. The beer garden provides plenty of seating. It's also kid-friendly and pet-friendly, with a play area for children in the arena. I always get fries and wings and both taste delicious and pairs perfect with my IPA ( chasing bronco’s)

Gary Ripsco

Great place to kick back and enjoy a beer and some food from one of the several food vendors parked out front. Very family friendly with large outdoor patio/grass area and a play area. Nice breeze flows through the patio area. We started with the Sunday special -$5 mimosas they graduated to a couple of beers to compliment the Mediterranean Wraps we bought. The GM came to our picnic table and gave us recommendations, thanked us for coming from Round Rock as 1st time visitors and looks forward to us returning. Upon leaving the wonderful young lady who got our drinks and the GM both yelled "see you soon". Great customer service.

Ciara Lindley

I have been coming here multiple times a year since they opened years ago and it's one of my all time FAVORITE places. It's so laid-back, is family friendly, and has a such a cool atmosphere. The food trucks are decent, especially the Venezuelan truck (*update* whoops apparently this one isn't here anymore, see owner response), but are a little pricey- which is unfortunately normal these day. The selection of draft beers, sours, and ciders is pretty good, and they have self-serve water cups and water/ice which is convenient. The staff is also friendly and accommodating, and seem like they actually want to be there, which is not a given at many places. During the winters they have a couple fire pits with seating + heated covered/partially enclosed patio, and during the summer they have misters and fans. The yard has turf (one of their best investments imo) as it makes for a great place even after a rain. Their little play area is nothing to write home about but unique and good enough to keep the kids busy, along with free reign of the mostly gated yard which is perfect for the kids to run around. They do have Cornhole and Giant Jenga as well, which are nice additions. With the events they have going on throughout the week such as live music, trivia, happy hour, celebrations, etc. it's definitely a place for all ages and interests; we will continue to come here with family and friends during all seasons!

Super cool spot to spend time with family and friends. They have great local beers and food is good too! Food is from local food trucks and beer & wine is served by The Good Lot. This place is a must visit! This place is very much family friendly with a big space for outdoor seating. They also are “very kid friendly” with the surface made out if artificial glass, so gives a soft landing during a fall for the kids. There’s also a small play area where the kids can climb up the “rock climbing setup”. The whole place is setup such that water is sprayed around to keep it cool during the day. Believe they are open to family events too - we saw a family event happen during our visit. The local food trucks serves good food too! Believe the food trucks keep changing but when we visited it was “The Rice is Right” (Korean), “Four Brothers, (Venezuelan), “Lazy G” (American Barbecue) and “Fez” (Mediterranean) The food trucks are located just outside, near the parking.

We enjoy this spot so much! Our whole family loves it! The food trucks are all fantastic, the kids always make new friends playing on the super cute playground and they have all of our favorite local craft beers on tap. Open mic night on Wednesdays is a HUGE plus! Definitely put this on your list of places to go in the area if you love great food, great craft beer and fun!

Fun little place in Cedar Park! It's new and popular so expect lines and nowhere to sit on a beautiful sunny day. Friendly staff and great prices. Taking away a star because the parking situation is ridiculous!

Nice live music, it’s packed with people/kids/dogs. Tried the Redfin food truck it was terrible. Tasted like soggy talapia not fried catfish. The fried shrimp was ok but not worth $17, I do not recommend that truck. Threw away the “catfish” and ordered from four brothers Venezuelan food truck and that was really good. DOG FRIENDLY !

Great place for fall in Texas! My kid had a great time playing bags as well as on the tower. Only real negative is the lack of seating. Please add more picnic tables!!!

Sat outside, had a couple beers, some delicious food trucks on the lot & had a great time with my group. Love the outdoor environment, but definitely a hot spot for families, kids running around everywhere. Didn’t bother me much but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Overall great place!!

Great, family friendly beer garden with a variety of food trucks - and all the trucks have been delicious. The tap selection is great as is the open space under the trees. The are gluten free beverage options as well as food through the Rice is Right & Venezuelan truck. Only drawback is the parking which can be tricky on weekends as it is a popular spot.

Beer Options are good but not sure about the quality of food at food truck. I which they had better food options. Now I just eat somewhere else and not at Good Lot. My kids live going there cause that have the freedom to walk and play.

Finally! A beer garden in cedar Park. This place is great! Live music is mellow and you can enjoy food and drink while your kids play under cypress tress.

I agree with most of what other reviewers have shared, such as this review by another Local Guide: "This is family friendly and casual place to hang with family or friends over live music and cold draft beer. They have some food trucks and several dozen draft beer choices. They had tables, chairs and firepits, but you can also bring your own folding camp chair." However, I'd like to share another perspective. The atmosphere is more like a campground than a restaurant. Lots of kids running freely, climbing trees, playing football-catch, jumping off playground equipment. You might not find this relaxing if you don't enjoy lots of kids darting about. But if you're looking for an urban-park vibe, this fits the bill. We went on a Friday night and there was way too few parking spaces. Large numbers of cars had to park in the neighborhood across the street, which I doubt is appreciated by the neighbors. After parking, you've got to cross a busy road with no cross walk, stop sign, or light. At night, with kids...hmm. Although I appreciate having choices like this in the area, the city and The Good Lot need to address this safety issue.

Great place for beer and an amazing outdoor environment. The food was great, a few food trucks were open. It was disappointing that they closed all orders at 8.45, also switched off the fire pit at 8.45, even though they close at 9 pm.

This is a very spacious venue. It is also kid-friendly and pet-friendly. They have a great selection of beers. There are tons of options for food trucks if you are hungry. They often have live music. The service was great as well.

Mary

It's a nice brewery with several options. Some pours were smaller than pints, which surprised us but maybe that is just how it's done in this county. The outdoor seating is very nice, with outdoor TV, adirondack chairs, fire pits, and some umbrella tables. Dogs were all on leashes, but the kids ran around screaming. There are a few food trucks by the entrance. All of them seemed great, and we had a hard time deciding. Parking was fine, but if the lot gets full, you can park in the neighborhood nearby.

Midhun Sai gaddipati

This place is very good for a family hang out. Kids can play in the turf and a few play structures will also keep them engaging. Nice patio with chairs and tables with lot of shade. The food trucks here are decent with Asian, Mediterranean cuisines which won’t disappoint you. Occasionally if you get lucky, there will be some live music too which we enjoyed.

Frank Schoeplein

One of the few places with outdoor areas for kids to run around, so it's an automatic win in that regard. Food truck options are open on variable days. Mexican was closed on Mondays. Also, Mediterranean, BBQ (with limited options depending on the day, they only had brisket and turkey, no burgers), and a rice/Asian option. We don't drink, so paying $5 for two cans of Fresca is silly, but not unexpected. If you do, it's a great place for that with the main bar offering. Also, there's no table service, so tipping being requested with a default minumum of 18% is a weird carryover from the covid era. Would be nice if places like this would simply charge what they need to, without swindling customers.

Nestled in Cedar Park, The Good Lot is a charming destination that combines good ambiance, a plethora of beer selections, and a welcoming family atmosphere. Ambiance (4/5): The Good Lot excels in providing a pleasant and inviting ambiance. The relaxed outdoor seating area, surrounded by lush greenery and featuring a turf play area for kids, is perfect for families looking to enjoy some quality time. The comfortable seating and overall setting create an enjoyable atmosphere. Beer Selection (4/5): Beer enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise at The Good Lot. With a wide range of beer options, there's something to suit every palate. The extensive beer menu is sure to satisfy your cravings. Food Truck Options (3/5): While the concept of serving food through multiple food trucks is intriguing, the portion sizes were disappointing. The menu offerings, though diverse, left us wanting more. It's worth noting that the quality of food varied depending on the specific food truck. While some dishes were tasty, others fell short of expectations.

This place has a nice atmosphere for adults, kids less so. First time visiting for a school social thing. Not an ideal venue for kids, one small play area. Super crowded, though understably so (Friday between 5p-730). I definitely wouldn't visit here due to the bougie seeming crowd, too little parking, not being so great for kids, and overcrowded-ness of the place in general, though I loved the 2 food trucks we tried. I'm sure I'd enjoy it more without kids and without it being so crowded regarding parking and people. We had to park in a neighborhood next door (we didn't want to park in the neighborhood across the busy street), something I myself am really uncomfortable doing. It would seem there could be some improvementts at the very least in regards to parking, more of it or a valet or both.

The Good Lot is a beautiful establishment with a good selection of food and drinks. The outdoor turf and shady trees make it an inviting place to linger with friends, until you see the number of prohibitive signs in place. When you first walk to the entrance, you are greeted with several different signs positioned close together instructing what you cannot bring inside, including water bottles. We dutifully returned to our car to return our water bottles that we are accustomed to carrying with us year round in Texas. We walked in to find more prohibitive signs. The impression that I got was a lack of trust in the customers that they wouldn't bring water in their water bottles, wouldn't buy food and drinks from their location, and wouldn't behave appropriately. We walked outside to find a table and noticed the beautiful outdoor area with more negative signs instructing us what we can't do there. The feel became sterile, negative, and restrictive. The cornhole area is fenced in, with more signs about what you cannot do in that area. It felt controlling and unwelcoming, and left the employees to police the activity of the customers. My suggestion is for the owners to do some research on more effective ways to communicate expectations with customers that engage and encourage good behavior to create a more positive experience that brings return customers. The children's area is lovely, and I saw a lot of children brought soccer balls they weren't allowed to play with. Perhaps consider creating a small fenced-in play area and encourage the children to play with the balls they brought in that area, rather than creating a negative environment where the staff needs to enforce the rules to create a win-win situation for the families, the staff, and people who want to enjoy their food and drinks away from children playing. Thank you for your consideration to make this a more positive, win-win environment.

I will never return to this place, and I definitely won’t recommend it. Ever since it opened, it had been a spot I frequently visited with friends and family. But after the treatment I received this past Sunday, I will not be coming back. Their policies are truly disappointing. I’m in my third trimester of pregnancy and I always carry my water bottle with me for health reasons. However, an employee came over and told me I couldn’t have my own water at the venue and that I needed to leave my bottle in the car and drink only what they provide. I find this completely absurd and highly inconsiderate, especially given my pregnancy. To make matters worse, there were kids around 12 years old playing with a soccer ball, kicking it very hard near the tables where we were sitting. We had to be extremely cautious with my baby nieces because there was no supervision or control over how aggressively they were playing in an area full of families, small children, and people eating. Honestly, they need to seriously reconsider their policies and pay more attention to the safety and well-being of their guests.

Used to be great but management recently started running into the ground. Ask for beer suggestions.. and get the worst selling (nasty) beer on tap, and no they won’t replace it. (This was last time we were there for creepy tab checking manager with the passive aggressive reply).. AND JUST NOW.. Their new policies made me put one kids water cup in the car.. but not the others cuz it’s slightly bigger.. That was fun. Won't be back.. no longer recommend this place.

Extremely disappointed with how the staff treated us. My wife is pregnant and brought a cooler glass with plain water—not alcohol or any outside drink—just water to stay hydrated. One of the staff members forced us to take it back to the car, mentioned policy” with zero consideration for her condition. I explained it was just water and I we are bug groups drinking beer that we were supporting the business, but he didn’t care. Pregnant customers deserve basic human decency and understanding, especially when it’s about something as simple and essential as staying hydrated. This experience was not only unwelcoming but also showed a complete lack of empathy. Definitely not coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values respectful service. I understand that sometimes people may lack manners or proper training—many staff members come from different backgrounds, and I’m not here to blame that. But ultimately, it’s the venue’s responsibility to train their team and ensure a minimum level of service and respect for all guests We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who expects even the slightest bit of human decenc

The family & kid friendly atmosphere they promote is a sham. They have zero respect for pregnant or nursing mothers. In the height of summer, when you are sitting outside under 90 degree heat with no fans or blowers, the management and staff has zero tolerance for the hydration needs of their customers. Instead, the rude and almost unfriendly staff is more concerned about enforcing their policy of NO water from outside. We were cooperative enough to empty out our water bottle in front of the management. However, this wasn't sufficient enough to reinstate their trust in us. The manager wanted us to keep an empty water bottle behind the bar counter for safe keeping. Their attitude was insulting and demeaning. Being a regular visitor to breweries almost every weekend, I have never felt so shamed or disrespected for carrying some drinking water. Such inflexible policies were unwarranted. I recommend AVOIDING this place at all costs considering they serve mediocre beer and don't serve any food of their own.

Lady that was in the taco truck was super rude I walked up and said hello and she just looked at me like an idiot, I asked for carne asada tacos and she snarkily told me to pick something else. Did not like her rude personality

Honestly not sure how they have as many stars as they do on their reviews. This was my first time going. Super long line with two people serving drinks for a LARGE venue filled with people. When we get up to the line we first notice that the flight was advertised as $12 (updated as of today) but the menu in the beer garden stated it was $15. Even after being told that the “board has the most accurate up to date prices” we were then told that they can’t serve flights right now because “we need to get through this line” in a very rude and rushed manner. We told him it was our first time and that we were not impressed and he said he would be able to walk us through the menu at another time. We didn’t ask for a menu walk through I wanted to order one flight. They need more bar tenders and bar space to accommodate the crowd they seem to be able to support. Unfriendly staff and crowded space. Probably wouldn’t come back after a terrible first impression.
