No wait at noon on a Saturday. The salad & soup came before I had a chance to wash my hands! Had steakhouse salad, shrimp & corn chowder, chicken Monterey and smothered shrimp/steak and it was excellent. Also tried the berry martini. Awesome choice, friendly staff, great value. read more

Eight of us ordered lunch take-out today. 4 of the orders were wrong. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. Menu states Crispy Chicken, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and hot honey sauce. It came with those, plus lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo. I hate onions and mayo with a passion and you can't just wipe it off or remove them. I did the best i could to remove them but the taste of the onion leeched into everything else and the mayo made the bread soggy and disgusting. I went to review the menu to see if I missed something, but nowhere on the menu does it suggest that there would be 4 other things on my sandwich that I didn't ask for. Just a suggestion, but add those other ingredients to the menu so I know to ask for them to be left off. read more

Seating by the men's restroom should not be an option. Waitress took our drink and food order(saved her a trip) because we knew what we wanted. Food was good and came out in good time. She NEVER came back to check on us. We put our empty glasses on the end of the table for a hint. My hubby even got up to look for her. I never saw her because I was facing a back wall. Needless to say we asked for the bill and a box. I have no need to return. read more

We went to Lock Sixteen for dinner tonight. The locals rave about it but honestly I'm shocked they are still open with all the other great options in Lima. The floor was dirty, my shoes stuck to the floor. The high chair my toddler used was sticky and grimy, probably hasn't been cleaned in a while. I asked for a high chair 3 times. Meanwhile the hostess and server said they'd bring it. They didn't but they watched as I struggled with my toddler. My husband finally got the high chair, 3 feet from our table. Not sure why they kept saying they'd bring it but wouldn't. We also asked for kids menus numerous times. They had to print them and the printer wasn't working right. That honestly boggled my mind that there's no back up. Then the server came and asked what we'd like to order when we still didn't have a kids menu. I said I'd love to order and reminded her we had no kids menu. She just stared at me. I had to ask if she could just tell us what was on the kid's menu so we could order. I got a Caesar salad, about 1/3 of it was rotten lettuce, barely any green romaine. Several chunks of the ends that were inedible. A family member ordered the pick 2. They were out of green beans and pickles. I ordered a medium rare steak, it came out basically well. The flavor was alright, not the best, not awful. My husband got the Philly cheesesteak. He said the fries and sandwich were good, but the bun could've been toasted. My 2 year old got mashed potatoes. I asked for a spoon for him. She brought a huge tablespoon for him. I explained nicely again the spoon was for the two year old. She stared at me. I asked if she could get a small spoon as it's for the toddler. She came out and was kind of snippy saying "this is the smallest spoon we have" bringing the teaspoon, which is what's appropriate for a 2 year old. If our family members hadn't suggested coming here, we wouldn't. I would not recommend Lock Sixteen. read more

This is a great atmosphere. There's a dining room section with a bar and a separate bar area. There is also a room that you can use for groups. The food was good. They serve Pepsi products, but have Diet Mountain Dew as an option if you're not a Diet Pepsi fan. Service was good- but there was a mistake on the servers behalf, so one person in the party was waiting for a while after the rest of us was served. read more

Lock Sixteen Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Lima, Ohio

Food was great the workers were kind the view was great the food was a bit pricey and there is a decently long wait on weekends

Third visit to the place. Didn't wanna review after the 1st 2 times. (2-3 hour visits because they are crazy slow with semi cold food) But..... after 20 minutes before a server tended to us it took about 15 minutes to get the drinks. Then it was about 45 minutes before the food was served. Really???? 4 burgers and a wrap can't be tooooooo crazy. I asked questions about the pickles and the waitress said sometimes they look funny. Nobody else's looked like this. Needless to say, I didn't eat them and will be a place we won't visit again. read more

Grandson wanted to eat a steak on his 13th birthday and chose Lock 16. There were 6 of us and everyone said their meals were very good. I had the filet and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had while others had wraps and hamburgers. Our server was very attentive even though she was also working several other tables. My only issue is that they have no way to alert people when their table is ready. If the small waiting room is filled and you have to wait 15-30 minutes in your car, it would be a pain to keep going in a checking especially in inclement weather. I'll even include a link! https://www.webstaurantstore.com/53979/restaurant-pagers-and-accessories.html read more

I live close by so I eat here often. My food is always good, the staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean. I usually customize my order and they get it right. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We've made a habit of coming here for years. Since moving their location , the food and service have improved. Until tonight . I thought we'd leave until a waitress ( Shelle) came over to save the night. She's great at her job and took our table to accommodate us. Food was great and after our initial waitress dropped the ball, Shelle stepped up and made our visit perfect. Can't say enough about her. Thanks again. read more

Plan to visit the bathroom and leave with a migraine if you are MSG sensitive or gosh forbid allergic! The cuts of meat are so cheap they cover all of it with the stuff to make it edible. Overpriced and not worth the pain from the food. Yes I ask if they used MSG, and I was lied to. read more

Went to lock 16 for an early dinner ordered a BLT and my wife ordered the fish dinner. Both were not hot at all. Just barely warm. Probably not going back again. read more

When we arrived the host was absent for awhile before seating us. Not very friendly. Not rude either just existing. The large room was about 80 degrees which was too hot for my liking. The waitress was attentive and the food was good. However when we went to pay our bills my friend and I both made comments that there was no change. Apparently they decided what to do with MY money. So I took a dollar back out of their tip. It wasn't the amount it was the fact they thought they could decide when to keep my hard earned money. While leaving I went to the restroom and set my to go box at the closest table. I came out minutes later and it was gone and somehow no-one knew where it went, cared, or offered to make it right. After staring into multiple blank expressions I said forget it and left. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

This is a great place to go if you are a 'meat and potatoes' person. Steaks can be undercooked & salty at times. BUT the ribs are amazing & the loaded baked potato is worth it. They gave our table extra fried onions which were delicious. Left stuffed & ready for a nap. read more

I've been trying to get into this place since they moved and reopened but dinner is crazy busy (every night) with overflow parking in the Menards store! The place is so much larger inside than it appears with plenty of seating. Had lunch with a friend and it was a great experience! Waitress was wonderful and attentive. I had the chicken club and my buddy had the philly steak both were very good. They also have a nice selection of craft beer. I'll be returning with my wife asap read more

Went there to eat last night and was very pleased. Got the steakhouse hamburger with steak fries. It was very tasty. In fact it was hanging over the bun. The wait was a little long after we sat down but they gave us fresh veggies to snack on. I heavily suggest you go read more

Went there to try them out. Didn't have to wait very long. We seated in the most noise place in the building. Gave a 2 seat table that there was no way of having an appetizer and 2 dinners at. We asked to be moved to a big table and was told no. There was open tables no line to get a table. We also said it was to noisy. All she said was sorry but no solutions. Don't think I will go back. read more

I'm not one to usually write a review unless it's real good or reealllly bad. This place is bad!! This place is awful!! Terrible food, poor service. I can't believe they are still in business. read more

Our 10 year old requested steak for her 10th birthday dinner. I thought we couldn't go wrong. The steak was tough, gristley and dry. Half was dripping blood and the other was just too well done. Very little seasoning on anything. The steak fries were the only thing worth it. Our daughter got steak chips and they were soggy from laying in the steak juice. SO disappointing! Won't be back. read more

Took a date here one night and honestly was not impressed. For a steakhouse I expected the steak to actually be good, but it just came out dry and lukewarm. Took forever just to get our dinners and the server was not attentive to checking in with us. read more

Best place to dine for any occasion. Food is great. Staff very good as well as helpful. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent for sure

Love this restaurant! The food was top notch. I had the 5 oz filet and it was so tender and delicious I didn't need a steak knife. Our server was excellent. I'll come here any time I want a nice dinner out. My friend had the ribs and said they were delicious too! read more

The service is great always. The first time I was here, I got the fried shrimp dinner. It took forever, and I'm guessing it's because my shrimp had to deep fry to the consistency of a tire. The steakhouse salad is ok, but I'm sad it's their "signature" with as mediocre as it is. Lastly, the seared tuna is just that. Seared tuna. Not a single spice anywhere to be found. I couldn't put enough wasabi and soy on it. It was def cooked well, though! Most places overdo it but not here. The drink specials are dope and the service is excellent; just don't come here very hungry. read more

I ate here with the SO and one of his co-workers last Friday evening. I had the filet and bacon wrapped scallops. I found my steak properly cooked and tasty. The scallops were great. They shoud rename this entree the "bacon lover's surf and turf." I had the sweet potato as my side and mine was fine. The SO's was huge and a little burnt but it was so big there was plenty to "tater" to enjoy. One thing I liked was that our server brought a small plate of crudite (or raw veggies) and some ranch dressing for nibbling when we sat down. If presented with raw veggies as a appetizer, I will take advantage of them (got to increase that veggie intake!) Yes this place is set up with a sports bar atmosphere, but it was roomy. It is not fancy and I don't know about later in the day, but this place has the makings oa great place to bring the family for dinner. read more

Excellent service, food was wonderful. BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, very tender, and very tasty sauce. And the dessert, a Bourbon Bundt Cake was ecstasy, very moist and flavorful. I'd go back in a minute to work my way through the rest of the menu. read more

Lock Sixteen is a nice restaurant for groups and couples. I was part of a group last evening. The food was really good the service was slow initially...but seemed to improve as the evening progressed. The bacon wrapped shrimp was spectacular!!! read more

Service: Messed up three(one order twice) different drink orders. We corrected the server immediately upon receipt of the drinks, which prompted the order to eventually get fixed. Food: Everyone was fairly happy with their food. 3 of 4 steaks were cooked to the requested wellness. 2 of 4 steaks(top sirloin & NY strip) were excessively chewy. Food overall is average. read more

Clean. Very friendly staff. Nice veggie tray to start. Two different cuts of steak: both excellent! Sides good to Good find!

Food has definitely gone downhill since the beginning of corona virus. Usually its still fine if you show ip with a huge group of people. But i called a take out order and was placed "on hold" for 40 minutes then i called back and she gave me bad attitude then told me to show up in 20 minutes. Well i got here 30 minutes later just to give them a little extra time incase it wasnt ready but when i got there the chick that asked me why i was there gave me more attitude then made me wait another 15 minutes its 3 PM on a sunday what rush are they so busy for? Bottom line unless youre a student who prepaid the meal swipes i would never pay out of pocket for this place. read more

Great service. Friendly. Nice atmosphere. Wine selection so so. We like wine. Shared 21 oz sirloin steak dinner for 2. We each got 2 sides & shared a vegetable tray with ranch dressing. Fabulous! Perfectly cooked steak. Had steak leftover & created a stew for dinner the next day. We will definitely consider eating there again. read more

Be forewarned, this place closes at 8:00PM. I got there at 8:08PM. I went to La Charreada down the street instead and got some Montezuma's revenge. Good luck. read more

Decided to visit this restaurant during a short trip, was looking for a nice steak to eat. Mediocre atmosphere. The hostess was very friendly. Prices were decent, but the service was slow. When I asked for the soup of the day I was told one thing and received something totally different. My girlfriend ordered a steak well-done and the steak was brought out medium at most. Waitress didn't seem very attentive as my girlfriend didn't even eat the undercooked steak. The waitress just took her full plate and gave us the check. read more

The only good thing I can say is that our server was very efficient and friendly. The tables and menu were sticky. That wasn't a great way to start off the meal. The tap list is a joke. Only one craft beer on the menu. The food was forgettable and priced higher than the quality deserved. read more

Passing through. Good food, brews! Steaks prepared as requested. Sides fresh and tasty. Fair pricing. I would return!

The worst steakhouse I've ever been to the service was extremely slow.The steaks had no flavor and the cooks can't get a steak how you want it.I would not recommend anybody to eat there. MCDONALD'S would of been better than that place it deserves negative stars nothing positive about that place read more

My family and I each had the 10 oz ribeye. The steaks were cooked great and very flavorful. We had the steakhouse salad as a side and it was not real good. A mish-mash of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. a lot of oil as dressing which was not real tasty at all. Restaurant is decent but with a sports bar theme. Not a bad place to eat and the prices are not too bad. 4 ribeye dinners with tea and soda was $77 no including tip. read more

Ryan and I both had the NY strip and it was great. I had mushrooms on mine and the were honest to goodness whole mushrooms fresh not canned. The garlic smashed red potatoes were good as well. Ryan had the steamed vegetables which included squash and zucchini in addition to the normal broccoli cauliflower and carrots. read more

Good spot to grab a bite to eat. Good sandwiches and burgers here, great slaw, and big steak fries. The service was good and the restaurant was pretty well decorated. No wow factor but definitely a reliable place to get some good food! read more

Alright so we tried this place in May 2014 and it was really not good at all. Our waitress was not friendly. My boyfriend and I both had an appetizer and a burger. He had garlic bread and a burger. I had the loaded steak chips or something like that and a burger. The garlic bread was ok. The loaded "steak" chips were covered in tons of romaine lettuce, some ground beef (which was cold), some cheese, lots of onions and the chips which were the only good part of this appetizer. As for our burgers, not seasoned, not juicy, nothing a good burger should be. Probably won't come back. read more

Mediocre at best. Sports bar atmosphere, warm salad with dressing in a packet, steaks ordered medium but came well done, mixed veggies mostly stems, burnt sweet potato. The only redeeming quality is the price. It's relatively cheap, but you pay for what you get. read more
