Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Lubbock

I went for lunch and it was really busy. I had the chicken fried steak and let me tell you, it was one of the best I've ever had! I picked the green Chile and it was so good! The macaroni and cheese was not your average macaroni and cheese,it was the real deal homemade type. I would definitely recommend this place but come early! Oh and save room for dessert!

Spectacular Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast. Breading was bar none the best I've had in my 63 years. (Sorry Kelley's, & T-Bone Tom's). Great biscuits and very good gravy. Our server, Yasmin, was perfect, personable, and efficient. Decor was better than average.

As far as quality of food to the quality of service, Cast Iron Grill tops them all. In fat, the single biggest negative about this place is that they close so early in the day (2:00 pm). First of all, it’s a pretty easy to access location and there are loads of parking spots to choose from. But, beware, the lot is always full because of this place is always busy. They serve breakfast in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. The food is phenomenal and the service from the people is great. Everyone is super personable and always has a smile on their face. They do a great job at keeping this location clean. Overall, a great experience. You should decide to come eat here if you’re looking around. You’ll be glad that you did.

This was our first time trying cast iron! My daughter and I came in and sat down waited for over 5 minutes before anybody even brought us menus. The whole time I watched all of the waitress in there very short shorts ( not attractive ) make eye contact with us and still never came to our table. I started to get very irritated. Once We got our menus we were served and got our food in No time!! I was very hopeful because I have hurd good thing about this restaurant. But once we got our food I was still irritated and disappointed. My eggs and pancakes were good but my potatoes were cold and tasted old, my bacon was over cooked and hard as a rock! Very disappointing!

Everytime we go to Lubbock, we have to go here. The pies are to die for and we love the Chicken Fried Steak. Big portions and very flavorful as always.

My wife and I had lunch on September 25, 2025, and it was yummy as always! Don't let the jammed parking lot worry you because they are always super busy. We walked in and were immediately seated. Our appetizer was delivered quickly, as well as our entrees. They are just good at handling a large number of customers, but don't skimp on the quality of their food! It's just amazing how quickly they can serve such a volume of customers with top-notch service and good old home-cooked food! This is a place you need to put on your list of places to eat, especially if you like good food and GREAT DESERTS!!!! The norm is to eat and take a delicious dessert with you when you leave.

Some down-home cooked meals! Perfect and beer inexpensive. The waitresses were top notch! Wish I brought cash so I could tip them more!

This place is awesome. Got appetizers and 3 course meal. I had a couple of firsts for me as far as cheeses and ingredients, I love being able to say that. Cocktails were bomb if you like higher end cocktails that are balanced and have some unique flavors. Honestly if you’re from out of town you should check this place out. Even the coffee was amazing.

We where in town visiting our son at Tech. My wife picked this restaurant as it was recommended to her by a friend. The service and ambiance were excellent. We ordered the Ravioli, Bread, Charcuterie and the Crab as appetizers. All the portions were very small but everything had very good flavor. For the mains we ordered the Ribeye steaks(2) and the Lamb. The Lamb was ok. The steaks were terrible. They were chewy, cold and had no flavor whatsoever. I've never seen my 18 yesterday old soon leave food on his plate. My daughter and I were sharing the other steak and we only ate several pieces. Not so sure how can they screw up 2 steaks in the same serving. Anyhow, ended up taking the family afterwards to Chic fil A for milkshakes and and sandwiches as we were still hungry after spending 600 dollars at the Nicolett. Don't waste your time and money. You will be disappointed.

Went with my family today and the experience was worth it. The place has a unique charm, food was amazing and the service you cant ask for more. Old fashion was my favorite drink, is hard to pick a favorite dish the all were really good.

We were in Lubbock overnight. I’d never been there before so I asked my friend who visits family frequently where to go for dinner. I used to trust him implicitly, but now I’m really questioning our friendship after this recommendation. The building is really cool. Old, brick, tall ceilings. Awesome atmosphere. But, here’s the thing…it’s Thursday night at 530pm and there’s a happy hour advertised and the place is empty. Dead! Was expecting a lively college bunch, but just empty. We were there for a while and the place basically stayed empty. The food- some of the worst, dry, overpriced, depressing fare I’ve experienced in years of traveling state to state and country to country. Uninspiring, inedible and sadness provoking food. I’m begging you, please make food people like. Perfectly cooked cod needs a sauce and a starch and an identifiable vegetable. A small piece of fish with some onion that is hard and green seaweed stuff? That just makes me sad. Cold ravioli swimming in congealed butter elicits my gag reflex even as I’m writing this. Terrible. Wagyu tartar that lacks creaminess, richness and flavor makes me want to cry. Make food that people like, that people want, what they dream about. This is egregious.

Update, December 2023: Still incredible. We had time for dessert at the end, and it was just as delicious as the other courses. Highly recommend the caramelized brioche (photos posted separately from review). ----- Original review, December 2022: We stopped in here before a 7:30 show at Buddy Holly Hall. 5:15 was a perfect arrival time to make it to the show comfortably. Our server, David, made sure to keep our plans in mind. The Nicolett serves 3-course meals with various choices for each courses, with the option to skip one or more courses. We had all three courses, bread service beforehand, plus cocktails. The waitstaff took excellent care of us during our visit. David was awesome (as were the rest of the staff) and the food was delicious and high-quality. This place is defintiely in my top 3 (maybe 1 or 2?) or so favorite restaurants in Lubbock.

Honestly amazing! The service was great, the food was amazing. I wanna go back and have more! Went with in-laws and had such a great time

I had a great time here. My friend from Amarillo (where I live) mentioned the Chef was a James Beard Finalist. This is probably my favorite dining experience I've had in the Texas Panhandle. The food was very unique and creative, with a lot of personality. The staff was ubiquitous, helpful, well dressed and attentive. This is some of the best service I’ve had at any restaurant anywhere in a long time. Service in the Tx Panhandle is a missing art so it is refreshing to see an entrepreneur/artist who knows how to create it. The food was great. The agnolotti was probably our favorite dish but they were all great. We had the: Desert salad Agnolotti Brisket Lamb Antelope I also ordered the Yuca (not yucca, that’s the local agave looking thing) fries to get a few more carbs. Cocktails were great and so were the desserts (buttermilk pie and kakawa drink) The price point seems high but honestly, any fine dining pushes $80 per person at this point. For a bit more you get artistry and much more thought and intention. The portions were well sized as well. This was not a fine dining experience where you get 3 slices on a plate. The salad was very ample and was a great split with me and my gf. The mains were perhaps a bit small given our daily notions of size and quantity but with the butter and richness of everything else it still worked well. Another positive: I left feeling satiated and full but not queasy or overdone. I find so many fine dining experiences ply you with heavy wines and heavy food and sugar and you feel like your taste buds were used at the expense of your body. This was refreshingly not that experience. I felt the food was very flavorful but without being overbearing. Basically you could taste both the flavor as well as the restraint in the food which is rare. I’ll definitely be back

We were dropping one of our kiddos off at Tech and were told we had to try this place! The cheese sticks were insanely gigantic! There were 4 of us so I ordered 6...we could only eat 3 with 2 of us unable to finish our food! We really enjoyed the crispy buffalo chicken sandwiches, and the burger was good, too. Highly recommend.

First time goer. Was told by a family member that the cheese sticks were insanely delicious and the burgers were amazing. They did not disappoint! Quite the size of a burger and the Hot sauce on the Hot as Hell Burger was solid heat 🥵! Parking is kinda rough but worth it if you park and just walk.

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday afternoon so not crowded at all and very quiet inside. Had a Cheeseburger and fries, nothing special but hit the spot. Seemed a little pricey at $20 for meal and one beer but still better to support a local institution as opposed to a big franchise.

One of my favorite places to visit when in town. I've tried several different items on the menu and have not been disappointed yet. The location was not far from the hotel or work area. If you order the cheese stix heads up they are huge! Definitely recommend the mushrooms and the hamburger and cheeseburger!

Love the way it has more than 1 floor. Fast service. Good prices for the quantity but our meals were kind of boring, lacking flavor. I'll still be back cause it's a cool place to hang with family. Only had 3 meals there so far and each meal was bland.

Food, service, and atmosphere was great! Food came out fast and the cheese sticks are unbelievable. They are huge and so good. The mushrooms are also amazing!

It’s a shame because it appears that a Lubbock favorite is declining from poor management. The bathroom was disgusting with overflowing trash. The hand soap dispenser had the bag of soap that was supposed to be installed in the dispenser just laying on the sink. The tables were dirty with crumbs. The worst part was my receipt said 2:38pm and we didn’t get our two person order until 3:15pm (cheese sticks, chicken sandwich, chicken strips). Food was good, but the chicken only covered about 2/3 of the sandwich bun. We spent $42 on two people and ordered water. Not a $20 a person experience, that’s for sure.

So glad I found this place. Went there the first time by myself. Had a very Delicious meal. Tonight I got to bring co-workers and it was even better. My waitress Mackenzie was the same one I had when I was there before and she did an fantastic job!. It would have been five stars across the board if it weren't for the wine selection. The selection is robust and very appealing, but there were a lot of things that they were out of and other wines that weren't on the list. But don't let that deter you from going to this place because the food and the portions are perfect.

Wow and oh wow. What a wonderfully unexpected surprise while in town this spot is. Glad we found this artistic, quaint space and thrilled that we explored and shared the offerings family style. The meatballs were a huge hit, as were the white beans. We all agreed it seemed like they forgot to add any salt to the sardines, but the herbal flavors were nice. Fair warning that the peppers are considerably more heat than similar shishito dishes, but still good. Perhaps the nicest surprise was the wine that we ordered relative to its price point…win win. Will definitely be back if I can. Hand made offerings abound. PS- it would be nice to have pulpa on the menu for the deep Spanish vibe! Great service all the way around.

Had a Surprise Birthday party for a dear friend. The staff here helped pull it off Magnificently!! The food was Fantastic and the recommended Wine a perfect pairing. I highly recommend this place …

100000% worth it! Im not a fan of expensive restaurants in my opinion they are more for show, making the food pretty vs the food being unique & delicious but this place THIS PLACE! Is worth every single penny. We had a queso dip I can't remember the name (not pictured) and it sent my taste buds into a frenzy as soon as this deliciousness grazed my tongue. Have you ever had food that made you break out in a smile because it's eye rolling good? That's exactly what this queso did. It was only up from here too. We had the Barcelona pizza and it is unlike any pizza you'll taste anywhere else in LBK. We also had their special I can't remember what it was called but it came with saffron rice, shrimp and lamb.. the lamb was 🥴🤤. And as if this all was not enough the lighting & art were a whole vibe. Our waiter I can't remember his name (tall guy with long hair and a beard) but he's been my waiter every time I've gone and he's always so helpful, patient and willing to explain/help you with the menu especially the first time you go bc the menu is different than your typical restaurant in lbk and he never makes you feel silly for not understanding it or having questions. Absolutely love this place.

if you’re looking for an out-of-texas experience with five-star hospitality, la diosa is the destination for you. i received wonderful service and recommendations from my bartender and the broiled spanish sardines were exactly what i needed for an early dinner for one. bring friends and families here for tapas and wine to share for the best afternoon or evening. i will be returning!

The ambiance was great. We had the caprese salad, Blanca pizza, and creme Brulé. Sparkling wine was great and our server was so sweet. 10/10 would recommend and would come back.

Cute place, food was good but not spectacular. We chose three dishes and the paella was cold. Nice wine list. Unfortunately we were seated right next to the band and it was very loud. Probably return, but will ask to be seated elsewhere. We had reservations and recommend it, it was crowded on Friday night.

Firstly the host Kathy and our waitress Andrea were super friendly, efficient, sweet ladies! The waitress was constantly refilling our coffees and waters! The food was delicious. The skillet and the the chuck omelette were cooked perfectly and tasted great! The atmosphere is that of a southern diner! They had some really cool old signs decorating the walls! The restaurant was very clean and presentable!

Went on a Sunday around 10:30am. Not to busy waited about 10 minutes for a table but thats expected when you eat at a good place! The food was excellent and the staff was awesome. The atmosphere was a little noisy but not for my taste. Reminded me of the small town feel. I will definitely be back again!!

I used to bring my kids here when they were little back in the 80's. Now 2025 my daughter brought me. I'm visiting from Alabama. The food and coffee are still so good. We ate lunch here too. A different day of course after church. I'm glad to see this place is still here, after all these years. Under new management, but still here and a part of Lubbock History.

My mom and I went on a Saturday morning. It was very busy. It did take a while to get drinks and also the food. Our waitress was sweet, but she did go ghost for a while. My mom and I both waited a while for drink refills. Our potatoes came out burnt, but they gladly made us new ones. I will definitely return. Besides those things, everything was good.

The friendliest staff!! Very warm from the moment you walk in. I sat alone at the counter, and my server was super helpful finding me a banana when I asked for a side of fruit. The noise level is medium, with charming order shouts coming from the kitchen. Prices are inexpensive for the area. My breakfast sandwich and coffee were about $12 before tip.

If you’re in the area or even if you’re a local, you have to stop in here! Where do I begin? The service. The servers are so kind and welcoming. They take their time to ask about you, what you like to eat, and they make menu suggestions. Mine suggested both the French toast and the pancake because I didn’t know what I wanted. I recommend the French toast! The food is so good and freshly made. I got the hungry boy plate and YUM! The server saw I had not got around to my pancake and she offered to butter it and warm it up for me. The atmosphere is very old time diner and there are adornments of Jesus everywhere. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in town again.

A true Lubbock tradition. I have been coming here since I was a child. Sure the portions have gotten a bit smaller and the prices are higher but it’s the same as I remember throughout the years. I had the bacon omelette with jalapeños and mushrooms added and a side of pancake.

Our lunch was delicious and hot. The staff was very friendly and polite. Thank you 😊

We ordered way too much food for the two of us! We had a great experience here! The queso was delicious, but both of our absolute favorites was the green chile stew! It was phenomenal! The burger was pretty run of the mill for us. Everything here looked delicious and the menu is huge. We would definitely revisit if we were ever back in town.

The food was great. I had the Philly cheese quesadilla, and the wife had grilled chicken. Lindie, our waitress, was super sweet and checked on us numerous times. We sat out in what I would call an Atrium-ish. There are trees in there, and it's a really cool and comfortable atmosphere. I fully recommend you check this place out for yourself. I will be back to try more menu items. P.s. I really liked that flag it was right behind our table.

Absolute staple of Lubbock– you must try them! Anything on the menu is delicious, but some of my favs are the green chile cheese chicken fried steak, their queso, and their burgers. They have wonderful staff and the best atmosphere.

Restaurant is okay. As a bar, it's probably better, but we were there to eat. Plenty of TVs for watching sports. Fun atmosphere. Staff is great. Service was excellent. Queso was good. My only complaint, and it's a big one that will keep us from returning, is the food. I'm sure there are things they do well. It's not fair to paint the entire menu the color of simply what we ordered, but based on what we ate, I wouldn't want to spend what they charge to try other items. I had chicken strips with fries. Simple, right? $16. Airport pricing. The food? The chicken strips were 100% the exact same ones you get at Dairy Queen for $8. I got 3 strips (again, for $16) and fries that were obviously not fresh cut. Sysco freezer fries. They were edible, but for $16 ... My son's chicken sandwich looked like a piece of meat that had been through a hydraulic press (they obviously used cook weights to speed up prep time), and was just a piece of unseasoned chicken on bread. Again, $16. If the prices were $10 - $12 for that quality of food, I'd have peace with that, but what they charge is excessive for the food we were served. 5 of us cost $120+ for dinner, including drinks and tip, and all my wife got was a soup and salad. Everything about our experience for dinner was good, except the food for what we paid. They either need to raise the bar on the food being served, or lower the price. The balance is way off. It costs us less to eat better food at Chili's.

Awesome tex mex .... Definitely go when Red Raiders are playing!

We visited on a Sunday morning about 11 am - I had a craving for chicken fried steak. Not busy so the music was a little loud, but by the time we left, we hardly noticed it because it was getting pretty busy. Started with chips and salsa/queso - just can't go wrong with that. Chicken fried steak was fork tender, didn't need the knife to cut through it. Waitress was very personable and efficient! Bonus points for refilling my water glass frequently! Great place for burgers and beer.

My family and I went for my birthday. It was so perfect. The ambience was so nice. Fantastic martinis. Amazing steaks! We also loved the bananas foster! It is one of the best restaurants in Lubbock.

I wish I could score this place higher. The staff are always amazing and the food is well worth the price. We've spent several special occasions here and definitely intend on coming back for another. I highly recommend the steaks as they're cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The staff are great at making you feel at home and taking care of every little thing you could need.

Had to share how sweet our server was. Our son has nonverbal autism and we had never taken him to a nice restaurant. Oscar was over the top understanding and helpful. He did everything to make sure he was taken care of and made little accommodations to help him. The food is good, but the server was really above and beyond. We appreciate his kindness and care!

We went for our anniversary and it was amazing! Easily the best place I have eaten in Lubbock. Great food, amazing service. The staff did a great job of making sure everything was up to our standards.

The food was delicious! The service was amazing and respectful! The atmosphere was dim and intimate! Music was romantic and at good volume. The new York strip was tasty and seasoned to perfection. I wish I had room to try the bananas foster, but we will definitely get it next time! The complimentary martini was delicious! We had a very pleasant experience, I look forward to returning in the near future! Highly recommend 10/10! **Just a heads up, men aren't allowed to wear caps inside and the online price menu is not up to date.

We took our son here for his 15th birthday. If requested they will acknowledge your birthday. Our waiter forgot so we don’t know they do. Make sure to remind them. I ordered the Double Nickel salad. It was tart, but if you like sweet tasting salad it was good. We order crab stuffed mushrooms and they were phenomenal. Lots of yummy sauce to enjoy. We ordered the Bananas Foster. They lit it at the table. It was fun to watch and delicious. The establishment definitely makes you feel like you need to dress up and act “proper”. However, I did see people in shorts and casual wear. The hey only enforce the “no hat” policy. Wear your Sunday best! The prices were through the roof so it’s definitely a special occasion experience for the working class.

We made reservations for my son’s birthday for 5:30 on 9/23. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We ordered the bacon shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms. Both appetizers were delicious. For my entree, I got the ribeye “double nickel” style topped with lump crab and shrimp with spinach rockefeller and sautéed mushrooms. My steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were delectable. But the best part of our evening was the bananas foster! Not only was it the flambé fun to watch, but the dessert was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. It was a night to remember, and a great way to celebrate a birthday. We had a good time!

Hands down the best filet I’ve ever had… but what made our experience 10/10 was our server Lauren! I’m not normally one to write a review but she deserves the praise. The most professional, personable and fun waitress I’ve ever had. She was on it and remembered everything to a T without writing anything down as well. If anyone actually in charge sees this review give that girl a bonus or something. Will be requesting to have her every time!

amazing across the board! my husband and i ordered the calamari, the filet, and the ribeye and our server Miles recommended the perfect malbec. we will be returning!

Top shelf across the board. The quail was superb, the drinks were excellent, service was great and steaks were cooked perfectly with a great crust. Entire dinning experience exceeded expectations

Since I’ve been on this “culinary adventure” in Lubbock, I’ve asked many people where to get the best steak, and I kept hearing about Las Brisas. While I was at the bar a lady who seemed to be everyone’s mom told me it was the best steak I’d ever eat. Truthfully, I’ve never eaten a better steak, but we will get to that. While waiting, what struck me more than anything was the staff. They were so friendly. Even hearing them chat to each other while waiting in the bar, they were happy! To me that says they are treated well by management which speaks volumes. I settled on an old fashioned, the lobster bisque, and an 8 oz filet which came with roasted asparagus and southwestern mashed potatoes. I finished with the recommended vanilla butter cake which was topped with ice cream and blueberries. Everything was excellent, but the medium filet mignon was a masterpiece of balance—perfectly seared for a caramelized crust, with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center that’s warm and delicately pink. Its subtle, buttery flavor shines through, enhanced by a hint of seasoning and a flawless cook. If I tried, I couldn’t find a fault. This place is my new #1 for steaks knocking off Albuquerque’s Antiquity. PS. I sat at the bar and these pics are terrible.

It was outstanding. The patio was beautiful. Our server Jackie was the absolute BEST. The dirty martini was amazing. I ordered the garlic chicken with risotto and broccoli, and it was fabulous. One of my favorite places to wine and dine! Thank you!

The food was great, as it usually is. My only knock is the service that we experienced. I don’t usually go out of my way to post reviews on restaurants, but I just view this night in question as unacceptable. Our server, Lauren, was incredibly rude, condescending, and had a sarcastic tone that I found to be offensive. She did not care to our needs in the slightest. Our food took nearly an hour to come out (My family went with Medium-rare temp for our steaks and it was not a very busy night it seemed) and she wasn’t even around to set our food out for us when it finally did come. She did not bother to check if everything came out correctly (I asked for spinach instead of asparagus and still just got asparagus but just let it go because she wasn’t around so that I could address it in time). My daughter had an empty water for nearly half her meal. We had to ask what I assume was a bus boy to get her a refill and thankfully he served us better than she did. It seemed she would rather have conversations with any one else in the restaurant she knew, and we were a complete afterthought. The level of professionalism was nonexistent and I, myself, was embarrassed due to her negligence. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so, but I will make sure to not have her as my server ever again.

I'm giving them 5 stars despite not serving the cream corn on busy nights. Take it off or leave it on so I can make a decision of where to go. Put Miles in charge too; he's great and I know he'd make sure we got cream corn. If they have the cream corn available then get it!

Pretty neat place, very affordable food, ordered the green cheese enchiladas ($12), lemonade ($3), and a shot of bourbon ($4.50). Mixed in some salsa with my meal, was a good choice. The atmosphere on a Saturday night around 10pm was drunk men and women with children playing kids games. There was a mixture of cigarette smoke and alcohol throughout the air, not the greatest atmosphere.

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Nick, and I can honestly say he was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. From the moment he greeted our table, he was warm, attentive, and professional, but also had a natural charm that made the whole experience feel so enjoyable. Nick anticipated our needs before we even asked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Beyond his excellent service, his friendly personality and genuine smile made the evening even more memorable. He carried himself with confidence and grace — truly elevating the entire dining experience. If you’re lucky enough to have Nick as your waiter, you’re guaranteed not only amazing service but also a wonderful atmosphere. He’s a gem! P.S. He’s so cute, would love to see him again.

The evening started out great, and our server Ann was perfect, food was delicious, had a great time with games as usual. When I tell you this one issue ruined everything I really mean it. The young man walking around with the broom and dust pan! Of all the noises in the building all you could hear is him sweeping absolutely nothing and the loudest most monotonous tap through our entire meal. Right beside our table no regard for people eating and trying to enjoy the meal and company. Like we appreciate the cleanliness, the floors looked great! But it was awful! Like nails on a chalkboard.

Had a great first impression of this place. Our server was really friendly and attentive. All the games were operational and my son had a fun time playing and picking out prizes. We went during the middle of the day on Friday and it was not too busy. We will definitely be back.

I went here yesterday around 8pm, I was met at the front by the rudest girl I've met. She refused to speak to us because she was on her phone. There were two girls. They had sloppy hair with bright coloring streaks. She wouldn't give eye contact or face me. I just wanted to put our name on the list to wait for a table. She wouldn't even take my name she stayed on her phone our entire conversation. I tried to be civil. I asked how long the wait time was. As we really intended on spending big last night. She ignored my question but looked at me. I said in another way. How long before we can be seated. She said "when a table opens up. She then mumbled a racial slur to me. So I took my family and left. I wanted to speak to a manager but there's never anyone that will help you here. I used to come here a lot but yesterday was our last time. To employ people who treat other people this poorly is wrong. Her being a possible teenager is no excuse for her behavior. If she can't handle customers or has a problem with black ones, the. She should be moved to back of house to wash dishes or let go. There's no excuse to call a stranger that who was just looking to take family out there. The other girl just kept looking back and forth at the girl being rude to us never stepped in at any point. This would have been a large party celebration and could have brought potential profit to the store and I feel like this place will ultimately miss out on this in the future if the service doesn't improve. I hate complaining but I've never been called a slur at a restaurant before. It was a bad experience for my kids to see. Please do better.

Fun place for the kids to stretch their legs during our stop in Lubbock. A good selection of games to play. Food was the only thing that knocked this review down a star. I came in with high expectations from the reviews and photos, but was disappointed from what came out from the kitchen. Food: Chips and salsa were decent, but free, so no complaints there. We ordered a kids pizza with fries - again, decent. My wife ordered the sirloin and I ordered the half order of ribs - both underwhelming. Again, let down due to higher expectations from the reviews we read and the pictures. I will say that next time, we will probably order from the Tex Mex options. Service: Friendly staff. Seated fairly quickly. Attentive server.

The food is not good, actually, it's gross. I have given them several chances over a few weeks, ordering different items from the menu and it's all just gross. On a bright note, the beer is cold. The arcade is fun.We'll probably go back for that.

The service we received wasn’t great at all. It was my aunts birthday and we wanted to have a good meal. We were missing items from order and steaks over cooked, which happens. The service wasn’t good we had to look for server constantly for refills and ask for them when he came by. After we received food he didn’t return manager brought my steak back. We had to get our own boxes and Cam never took a single dish off the table unless we handed it to him. I’m here from Houston for my aunts birthday and it’s unfortunate we didn’t have a better experience. I think it’s a lack of training at this location. I even told the manager about our experience he was a younger man with brown long hair on the phone in the corner. Told me oh sorry about that I’ll go talk to him and walked away not even letting me finish telling him about my concern. I didn’t want anything free we already paid I just wanted to make someone aware of the experience so it could hopefully get better for the next guest. Management never did table touches to any table in our section. Which I think this would help with a lot of complaints to nip it from when it happens. Here is the table when we left.

Unfortunately it's not the experience that we normally get. After no wait time to be seated and fast drinks on the table and appetizer came out great, the main on the other side came out way under cooked for me to swallow it. I ordered a medium bone-in ribeye, came out raw like it barely touched the grill to get the color, after sending it back it came back cooked more but unfortunately it was still in the rare side and after couple cuts it was back to raw. Not what you expect from a steak house after a second try on the same piece of meat. Paid and left, was looking for a good meal not a free one. This is just a feedback because we love Texas road house and probably be back next week in hopes the issue being resolved and be able to get the expected service like any previous time.

We came into Texas Roadhouse last night to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and even though it was a packed house, we had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Our bartender Kaytlin was outstanding—quick, friendly, and efficient even on such a busy night. She kept things cheerful and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The food was great, the atmosphere was lively, and the service couldn’t have been better. We truly enjoyed the evening and are already looking forward to coming back again soon!

12 oz ribeye steak. Cooked perfect. Baked potato and veggies. Everything was great. The only complaint I had was how loud it was. We couldn't hear everyone talking at our table. But it was a busy night. Not a good place for large groups for meetings.

I have not been to this particular location. I did however dine at the Wichita Falls location several times last week. I found out 1 of the old managers Ried is currently working this location now. He is absolutely amazing & I promise he is extremely attentive. I would bet the Lubbock location is a great place to dine at. Ried come to Green Bay & fix this location please!!! It’s terrible at best!! Long wait times even when the dining area is @ about 40% capacity. Servers playing on phones & or chatting with each other. The Wichita Falls location is still top notch by the way. Hello Ried hope all is well, Camryn was super fun. I see your nephew is still digging LeBron James much love brother!! Hit me up on Facebook sometime so we can catch up.

Amazing food as always. Even though EVERY SINGLE seat was filled when we were there, completely packed, the staff were still fast, efficient, smooth and kind.

One of our favorites!!! Our go to place for steak and never had an issue. Always the best! Don’t miss their free dinner rolls, it is also mouth watering! Whatever I order is always superb! Yum!!!!! Just be prepared to have a fully charged phone and be busy with your phone for a long wait time. They also have free bag of nuts to keep you busy😂

Had supper at The Plaza Restaurant & Bar - Lubbock, Texas on Milwaukee and was honestly a little disappointed. Was seated quickly and the waitress came quick enough. Got unsweetened tea and queso to start. Was glad I got the queso because it was hot and warmed up the cold chips I was served. Queso being hot was the only redeeming factor as the queso tasted liked warmed up cheese wiz. Relleno plate (beef) with charo beans and papas. Food was very hot and overall had a good taste. Relleno fell apart so had to scoop a little beef with the pepper. I felt rushed though. I was not halfway done with my plate before I was asked if I wanted a dessert. Since I didn't she brought the check right away. One redeeming factor was she did ask if I wanted a to go tea. Maybe all the good servers and food went to the Slide Road location. But this was not the Plaza I remembered.

First time here. Ordered fried mushrooms as appetizer. Got small bowl of question. Small bowl was as big as most places big bowls. The steak was cooked perfectly med rare. The put mexican toppings on it, freaking delicious!! Loved everything about the place. Worth the money!!

This is a great restaurant. The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The food choices are plentiful and everyone in our party found something to enjoy. I tried the nachos. They were very good and the toppings were generous. It was not a traditional nacho with chips piled on the bottom, but a layer of chips with the toppings on them.

I love Plaza! The food is amazing, and everything here tastes so good. This picture was taken after I already had a couple of bites—couldn’t resist! If you’re ever in Lubbock and craving Mexican food, Plaza is definitely the place to go.

Friendly atmosphere, greeted as you come in, quickly taken to table waited and served in a very short time. Waitress was kind and very informative and kept returning to refill our teas and to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend this place.

Great food and service was on key! Nice for lunch or dinner..

We normally have really great service and food here, but today was VERY off. It took 40 minutes for us to get our food..which was served lukewarm warm at best. The service was nonexistent, and even when she brought the chimichanga with the queso spilled all over the rest of the food, she didn’t offer to take it back. We ordered a Diet Coke, but received a Coke Zero, and when she refilled it, it came back with sweet tea. One of the other plates had bits of ground beef all of it, even though we didn’t order anything with ground beef. Incredibly dissatisfied with our whole experience today, but especially the service.

Amazing food, amazing service. This is a must go to for anyone around the area to try out. I had the Patrone plate and its one of the best dishes I have ever had.

Visiting family in Lubbock and decided to have dinner here, and the food, service and atmosphere were amazing 🤩

WOW!!!! This restaurant is amazing. The service was the best. We were seated right away and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. Food came fast and hot. I had the huevos rancheros and it was very flavorful, not bland at all. Avocado salsa was very tasty with just the right amount of spiciness for me. Prices are very reasonable. Just passing through but would love to try the dinner menu. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Lubbock. Thanks for the great food and service.

Nice clean place. Original style Mexican foods, and a few others.

So inside..great menu selection and drinks! We ate on the patio. Breathtaking views of the spring resort and river.

This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant I found using Google Maps. It is very well liked by the locals. The food here was outstanding. The service was excellent. My server made great menu recommendations. Their salsa is great and they have a large selection of domestic and Mexican beverages. There is plenty of free parking in their large lot.

told us the wait would be 30 then we waited over an hour. they kept telling us 15 more minutes. we saw tons of parties wait way less than us and get sat when they had the same anount of people. so inconsiderate and rude. if the service is anything like the host its terrible. been here before and food is not worth the wait

The green chili strips and green chili burger are phenomenal. I also got to taste a red chili burger which was great. My favorite part was the tasty fresh brewed tea. I mixed the lime with the coconut! Yum...tasted like a snow cone. I can't wait to go back.

I am a Cheeseburger LOVER!! I have experienced a range of Cheeseburgers from many states, it's my "go to food." That being said, the Cheeseburger I enjoyed at Blue Sky Texas was the UNEQUIVOCALLY the BEST Cheeseburger I have ever had!! The burger was cooked perfectly, was juicy and the suggested toppings put the Cheeseburger from Blue Sky Texas over the top for me. We were just passing through this part of Texas and now I wished I lived closer!

Went during the lunch rush today; It was busy and took about 15 minutes to get our food after ordering. The hamburgers were definitely not cooked to order as they were not hot or juicy and fries had been sitting under heat lamps for a bit. Maybe we'll try again during off peak hours as it could have potential.

We Celebrated my Grandfather's Heavenly Birthday and it was perfect. Had he been with us i know he would have definitely enjoyed his family gathering together there it was a fun night. I had a Mushroom & Swiss Hamburger with sautéed onions. The buns were soft & fresh and the hamburger patty cooked to juicy well done. The fries I had to take home and were still good for a midnight snack. I didn't even warm them up. Service, food, and cleanliness. We gathered for dinner at 7:00pm and stayed til close and they had no problem with us holding up so many tables. THANK YOU

The first time here is a good food place. I ordered the bacon cheese burger with green chile, my daughter ordered the cheese burger without the bun, and a side salad. My wife had a cheese burger with a side of onion rings. Everything was very good, so good that even the sight of the food made it so tempting. I forgot to take a picture to show you all how delicious they looked. We will definitely return. FYI, tech students and faculty get a discount with an ID. Just ask.

We’ve always eaten at Blue Sky- both locations- without problems. Today our order was wrong; they corrected it. However, fries were stale- a small issue, I know, but that’s why I choose Blue Sky - the fries

I placed an order online and went through the drive-through to pick it up. The worker opened the window and didn’t even greet me. Only said “what’s the name” then slammed the window shut. When she came back, she handed me my food, then slammed the window shut again. Never once smiled. Horrible customer service that makes me not want to come back

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical after reading some recent reviews, but I’m so glad I decided to give The West Table a chance and what a fantastic experience it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The hostess with short hair (unfortunately I didn’t catch her name) was warm and welcoming, and Mason, our server, was absolutely wonderful. I was there with my kids, and right away they offered high chairs and brought water without us even having to ask. Mason kindly let us know that the food might take a little while since everything is freshly made to order, which we really appreciated. It helped set our expectations and made the wait feel totally reasonable (especially since we ordered steaks!). The food itself was excellent. The beetroot salad and crab starter were beautiful and full of flavor. Our mains took a bit of time, as expected, but they were well worth the wait. They also gave crayons to my little one, which made a big difference in keeping him happy. Mason even took the time to chat with us, making the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I truly hope more people start sharing their positive experiences here, because this restaurant, from food to service, really deserves the recognition. Don’t let a few negative reviews deter you. We had an awesome time.

This is a happening place! We went for dinner and unfortunately they didn't have a table for 3. We did not have a reservation. However, we went to the bar and had drinks and the menu comes from the same kitchen. The hot chicken sandwich was hot and delicious! The house salad is very good! I was pleasantly surprised. If you are in Lubbock, check It out!

Our first time here and we had a great experience. The food was excellent. My husband had the duck and he loved it. He said the lomein was the best he's ever had. I had the steak and frites, my filet was cooked perfectly and one of the most tender filets I've ever had. We also had the shashito peppers for an app and it was great, not too spicy. They have great cocktails as well. I have to mention Colton, he was our server and made our experience that much more notable. He was very personable and attentive. Thanks for the birthday dessert, the sopapillas were delicious 😋

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a Lubbock restaurant. High quality food made from scratch, my service was the best of the best, absolutely no complaints. I tried the teriyaki marinated ribeye and my wife had the double bone in Durac pork chop and they were absolutely life changing. Delicious cocktails and a very informed bar staff made mine and my wife’s night one to remember. Chef Cameron West and his awesome team truly set a standard for what fine dining should look like and I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for quality scratch food. Could not be happier <3

Overall an excellent experience. Service was very good, not rushed but never kept us waiting. Each food item was delicious. This is one of the few places out here in Lubbock where everything was cooked perfectly. My rare steak was actually cooked rare, our guests had pork chops that were beautifully juicy, and the quail appetizer was flavorful and crisp. Even the vegetables were flavorful and tender. Highly recommend and we will defintiely return. Reservations recommended.

No wait, service was good. She did what she could to take care of us. The menu is extremely limited. The entrees dont seem to come with sides except mayde some french fries. And the entree that does come with fries is almost $60. We had to send our food back cause it was under cooked. It's a scratch kitchen so we ended up being there for almost 3 hours. Luckily we were not in a rush. Overall, super overrated. No intentions on returning.

Wish I could take this restaurant with me back to Houston! We’ve never been to Lubbock, but I’m so glad we chose this place for our first dinner experience. Not quite sure anyone in Lubbock can top it. This place is exceptional!! Perfectly cooked food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere! My only tiny complaint is I wish the dining chairs were more comfortable.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Would have been better going to Fazolis or Italian Garden. I ordered a coffee, and it arrived in a huge cup with hardly anything in it. Ordered the sampler for 2 and asked for easy on the sauce. It still arrived drenched. How most other places hydrate their product with water or milk for cheese dishes, this place apparently hydrates with oil. The atmosphere is great, and the service is phenomenal.

Classic Italian stop. Lasagna and Meatball Sandwich were delicious. The Wisconsin Cheddar cheese soup was tasty and rich In flavor. Great place to have a get together! The time B4 we had pizza 🍕 which went over well with everyone.

My Canadian bacon - pineapple pizza was burned, and didn't have much flavor but was too expensive to throw away- my friend next to me was last served and ordered before me. Her order was a vegetable pasta dish and her food was hot.

Nice and chill ambiance at this location, dim lighting and seating arrangement. Pleasant, very nice. We had the supreme pizza with Pineapple and it was delicious. The 14 hands cabernet was a perfect match with the meaty toppings. Tristan was a joy to have as our waiter, attentive and polite.

Our waitress, Winnie, was super attentive and very friendly. The food was delicious as was the margaritini.

So far best pizza in town. In the last 3 years that I have tried. The "Q" has that old Italian vibe. We love it !!!

Our service was really good. That is about all that was good. Food was super greasy and like warm. My pasta sauce tasted like metal...like it came from a can.. The atmosphere was going for old world Italy, but really came back as back alley Chicago...dank, dark, and I thought I might get mugged. When I think about what I paid, in some ways I did get robbed. Do not recommend.

Alex is our hero, he is the best waiter! The portions here are large for the prices. The chicken tenders were juicy and good. The fried bone in chicken was dry. We did not enjoy the bacon gravy it was oddly sweet. The house ketchup was good. Oh and the okra was awesome!

Attentive server, fairly fun aesthetic, but the star is the food. Some of the best fried chicken you’ll ever have anywhere, including Memphis/Atlanta/name the city that claims it. The mashed potatoes were great, the sauce platter was perfect for dipping. A top-tier fried chicken experience. They could charge $50 and I’d go back.

OMG One of the best meals on this trip and an unexpected surprise. The Korean chicken was delicious- a little spicy but not overwhelming- juice and tender. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked moist inside and a satisfying crunch with Dirk's signature sauce. And a wide choice of sides - first place goes to the collard greens - I usually avoid from many bad ones, but these were the best I've ever had. On a road trip for a one night stop over searched a long time for a spot that wasn't pub grub or pizzas or burgers or a a chain - this was a very lucky find. Lots of locals agree. The wait staff was friendly and fun and prompt- the tricefta. If you are within 100 miles ' eat here.

Food was delicious!!! Chicken was crispy, potatoes were creamy, gumbo was fantastic, drinks never went empty!!! The only complaint is the 2.7% service charge to use a card… I recommend bringing cash

The chicken here is super crispy, juicy, and tasty. However that is where the positives about the food end for me and my dinner companion personally. The chicken fried steak tenders were chewy and the breading fell off right away and what breading managed to stay on wasn’t cooked. It was mushy and frankly gross. The gravy was super watery and not pleasant. The grits were so thick and unyielding it came out of its little cup in a cube and stayed that way for a while which weirded me out. And finally, the shaved brussel sprouts looks like baby food and I didn’t even try it it looked so gross to me. Overall, the service was good, the facility was good, and the chicken tenders were good. None of that is enough to return.

Fantastic restaurant. We got the traditional chicken strips and the Korean Fried Chicken. Both of them were so good! Alex served us and he was very attentive of our table and helped us decide what to get, as it was our first time and we are from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He recommended some various sauces, which were all good, but that house ketchup is something else - I'm not even a big ketchup fan, but this was next level! This will definitely be a go-to spot for us any time we're in town. Highly recommend!

Fun atmosphere. Good chicken. Servers were friendly and attentive. Alot of old Dirk West drawings

Large tasty burgers. Fun curly fries. Very quick service. The place is spotless clean, even the bathrooms sparkle. They hace traditional hamburgers, fries, and ice cream. Definitely worth a visit at least once.

The meat was very taste. Although I asked if I could change the bread on the jalapeno cheddar burger and she offered me something else on the menu. I would suggest to get your bread toasted.

Hailey was very accommodating and she had a great sense of humor. Giant dessert! Will definitely come back here again.

This place has the best burgers I have ever had! I love sourdough and I haven't had a better burger anywhere else. They also have a delicious sauce to pair with their burger and fries. Their fry selection is also fantastic. Besides all the great burgers and fries they have some pretty delicious dessert too!! If you're really hungry the serving sizes here will definitely fill you up.

We were in late in the day yesterday and the food was amazing!!! The burgers were juicy and had great flavor, the fries were crispy and hot. The staff was super nice. The atmosphere was great and we had an amazing time! I do want to note that the mood changed became much more somber when one of the managers arrived. She was wearing a button up Heff’s shirt and she was kind of off putting. She was rude to some of the staff and Just had an obnoxious tone. The staff was trying and Scott was speaking with us up in the dining room. He was very upbeat and fun and had many good suggestions for us upon our return. We decided to head out due to the somber change in the atmosphere, and we know that we are just a small voice in the big picture but we thought you should know. Just our humble observation, and we own businesses as well. Thanks again for the good food and keep it up.

The food was was really great, but what made this trip to Heff’s stand out was the incredible service and kindness provided by Deanna. This was honestly the best fast food experience we have ever had. She went out of her way to get our dog outside some water, treats, and love. After being on the road for six hours, we are so grateful to have encountered such a genuine and kind person. The next time that we are in Lubbock we will definitely be back to this location!

I wasn't much of a Burger fan until I went to Heff's. The variety and good flavor of their burgers sold me. They're a bit more expensive and take a bit longer than your regular fast food burger, but the quality is well worth it. Today I ordered their Breakfast Sandwich. Due to a technology error my order was delayed and my wait was long, which would usually result in a bad review but when I notified the staff they were very quick to fix the problem. Not only was the Breakfast Sandwich honestly worth the wait, they offered me free ice cream (which they have good ice cream but I gave a pass for the sake of my diet) and then a voucher for a free burger as consolation. What matters is not perfect service, but the effort they put in to make sure the customer's experience is good, and in that regard they pass with flying colors. Once again, the food's pretty dope too. Voucher or not, I very much plan on enjoying Heff's again.

I had a delicious bowl for dinner. The service and atmosphere was okay for me due to it being busy. I would recommend coming to enjoy some good food for dinner as long as you are not in a hurry.

The Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant is a great place to fill you up, but kind of expensive as well, because of the rise of food items,especially how they make it and trying out their Tex-Mex foods like the Grande, that will feel your day, without eating anything today.

Food is cold .. the chicharons are cold and harder than a rock.. salsa is ok , tortillas are cold .. the queso is not great .. the empanadas are cold but ok .. the temp is almost fridge cold .. the dip sample looks good but is not great .. we had to get are own plates and had to grab silverware after asking and getting some silverware.. the staff is not great except our waitress. This is sad .. the hospitality is very negative and it makes the atmosphere not great from the hostess to the staff in general.. don’t recommend

Update: Thank you very much to Brian th Hospitality manager for taking time to personally reach out to me regarding my experience last night. It is greatly appreciated. Abuelos is one of my my favorite places to get enchiladas. Due to being so busy I ordered food to go. I get my food and I ordered a simple cheese enchilada plate and got beef. It says on the order for concerns to please call. I call let the to go girl know what happened she didn’t bother to check my order, ask questions nothing. It was pretty much oh well. Im sorry but I think I will be getting enchiladas else where. I was not rude at all to get the attitude in return.

We really appreciate the service here! As a couple who doesn’t eat pork (this means we avoid lard…) the server really went above and beyond and went to check with both the chef, kitchen manager, and personally checked labels himself. That said the food was also amazing! I got chicken with the corn cream sauce and my husband got the combo fajitas. We also enjoyed a delicious tres leche. Also highly recommend picking up the 100$ on gift cards at Costco for 80$! 😉

We ate here the night before we got engaged in 2007. Such good food and such good memories!

Sat at the bar for drinks and dinner. The bartender was friendly and very helpful. The place was quiet, the band on the patio was background music. Food was great, good presentation and excellent flavor. They brought us 3 kinds of salsa (green, red, and hot) and all were good although the hot could have been hotter. Prices were moderate ($15-20) All in all, a nice Friday evening.

Got the 6 oz boneless wings and all meat calzone. Was just alright imo. Calzone isn't too bad of a deal for the price. Boneless wings definitely not worth the price though. Walked by here for 4 years as a graduate student and never tried it until the end of my time. Wasn't missing out on much all those years to say the least. I will say the pizza available by the slice out on the counter looked pretty dry and lifeless, which is why I got the calzone. Maybe their other pizzas when fresh are better?

I just had myself a Matador Wrap with curly fries and it was very good, especially adding a lot of vegetables inside the wrap along with the chicken too. The one guy from Italy restaurant has some very good Italian food, even know they cross out the prices on the pizzas and many other items for unknown reason and the place needs a little bit clean and patch up or 2, at least the service took their time, when I was thinking about ordering something to try out and eat. Good location next to the university.

Went during lunch time, they have a solid lunch special. The pizza had a great crunch Crust is good. However I’d rate the pizza a 6. The sauce taste like canned sauce and the pineapples were almost certainly canned as well. It did stand out, taste wise.

Me and my husband came to try this location to give it one more chance with one guys we been to the one on 50th we didn’t have a good experience with them I wanted to try it one more time with University and see if we will return to them again it was a different experience way better employees cheerful and friendly Joann greeted us at the register very friendly we loved our calzones and chocolate cake we will be coming back to this location. I will recommend my friends and family to come to university to eat.

Me and my wife came after the game it was busy regarding how busy it was people where waiting for there orders I want to say thanks to the lady that came out of no where she started making pizzas she went to the oven and she started taking orders out of the oven when I looked up people started getting there orders. When I got my order it was delicious me and my wife were satisfied with the service once again thank you to the staff and more to the lady that was wearing a red Texas tech shirt. We will definitely will be coming back after game days.

I am a semi driver at loves. I ordered pizza to be delivered. I use Google maps to get my address. After my order got picked up by Uber (their delivery service of choice) driver called me complaining I used wrong address. Then the driver cancelled my order and kept my pizza. Couldn't get a hold of Uber because I didn't use Uber app. The manager Mooney gave me a refund but still sitting here hungry with no transportation. I don't want to trust Uber or any delivery apps due to the negligence of the last driver. The manager was Happy to give a refund but that was it. Just a sucks to be you attitude. This is what happens when you don't hire good managers to go above and beyond their basic job. When I was running a pizza parlor I would go to great links to help my customers because I always treat my job like I own it. Like it is my profits was on the line. Good luck to the owner with staff like that. He wasn't even willing to contact Uber to correct the issue. It is sad because it looked like great food and was going to order pasta the next day but not now. Truckers move America and can not take our trucks anywhere we want to go. We are limited and now it's another night of peanut butter sandwiches.

From out of town working, thought I’d give it a try . I’ve worked in Italy and had lots of pizza there. This one guy may be from Italy. But his Pizzas are very far from it . Crust makes 70 percent of a pizza. To doughy. And now I know. timely manner of delivery was good.

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant during our stay in Lubbock. Initially, I was a bit hesitant when we arrived, but I was pleasantly surprised as soon as we stepped inside. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and offered great suggestions that turned out to be fantastic choices. We began our meal with fried ravioli and cheese sticks, paired with a delicious dipping sauce. For his main course, my husband chose the chicken Parmesan served with spaghetti. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the same wonderful sauce from the appetizers topped the pasta, making it a delightful dish. The chicken featured a thin, crispy crust and was tender and fully cooked. I opted for the chicken with tortellini in pink sauce. The chicken was just as incredible as my husband's Parmesan chicken, while the tortellini was delightful, and the pink sauce was creamy and perfectly seasoned without any one ingredient overpowering the dish. The portion sizes were generous! The bread served with our meal was fresh and light—definitely worth trying with butter. Although the restaurant was quite busy, our food arrived in a timely manner and tasted freshly made. The portions were so substantial that I enjoyed some leftovers for lunch the next day, and they were even better! This place is a definite must-visit when you're in town.

Warm and welcoming. Great dinner music. The bread is amazing. Our server made great recommendations. The Tonis chicken has the perfect amount of zest. A definite must if ypu visit Lubbock.

The rolls were amazing. My salad was very fresh. The service were really awesome. I did not care for the food and neither did my partner but I will add that 2 of the members of my party really liked it. And others must as well because it was hoppin the Friday I went. This place is also BYOB which is very cool.

Food was amazing, service was 100%. They were so nice and friendly 👍🏼

We did not have a good experience. We called and made a reservation for 7. It seemed pretty busy when we got in but didn’t think much about it. We got sat right away and they brought out some waters for us. My problem is when we ordered our food it took exactly an hour for 3 chicken fettuccine and a lasagna. We sat there and no one communicated anything. Almost 40 minutes we asked about our food and our waitress just seemed annoyed that we asked. When the food was brought out 2 of our chickens fettuccine seemed like they were sitting under the heat lamp for a while. The other 2 came out steaming hot. Multiple people that arrived after us received their food and we were still waiting. We really wanted to like this place but we did not get great customer service.

Large rolls, a delicious spicy creamy sauce for the crab and shrimp raviolis, all delicious! Great place!

Went there for a large group party, out ables were set up and ready for us. The staff was patient and and gave great customer service. Had the chicken alfredo, it was very flavorful and fresh. My only regret was that I left my left over box.

We had the best brunch on Saturday! We got to try the brand new brunch menu and it was fantastic. The food was fabulous, the drinks were delicious, and our server Mason was very friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back on the next trip to Lubbock. 👏🏼

I went to Funky Door with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and it was nothing short of amazing! Our server was Elizabeth and she was great at providing descriptions and recommendations of all the drinks and food items. She was very friendly and quick with service! I got the butternut chicken gnocchi and it was so delicious!! My boyfriend got a cajun pasta which was also super savory and tasty (I ate off his plate too) we both shared the cheesy garlic bread which came with three sauces, pesto, tomato basil I think, and this tasty butter sauce, all incredibly good. We both also got dessert, the cheesecake funky door style and the Bourbon chocolate cake! I have to say though, the bourbon chocolate cake was absolutely incredible, literally melts in your mouth and rich in flavor with the toffee sauce add in!! The atmosphere was very romantic and sweet, there was a small band playing who were very funny and interactive. Overall 10/10 experience!! Highly recommend and will be coming back for more special events! (I only got a picture of the garlic bread because we absolutely devoured the rest of the food LOL)

Funky interior design Decent red wine collection Warmly and countryside atmosphere with guitar singer Decent well-trained waiters Concerning the food, perhaps I am too picky for the degree of cooking and heating, I think the veggies are overcooked; the duck is too greasy; pork is well cooked but lack of juicy and tender

Went to the Funky Door on a recent trip to Lubbock. It was also my 37th wedding anniversary so my wife and I were hoping for a stellar experience. We were not disappointed on any level. The atmosphere is dark and sultry. The service was a solid 10 out of 10. The drinks were even better. We mostly had several appetizers and the Fiesta fondue. Everything was fantastic. Finished with a slice of cheesecake flamed table side with 151 rum. Live music by Arle Ross was unexpected and outstanding.

Wonderful service and food. All my expectations were exceeded. Wonderful chicken and gnocchi and amazing cake. my friend had the Cajun pasta, and we shared a bottle of wine. Fantastic selection of wines

On November 4th, 2022 my girlfriend and I came to the Funky Door for a date after being together a month. We were not impressed then. The food was not as good as I wanted it to be, especially for the price. The service was still great back then though. Last night my now Fiancé and I went in for our 3 year anniversary and we had a very different experience. We loved it! I was amazed at how great everything was. The food, the drinks, the service, the vibes. All amazing! Scout was the highlight of the night for us, she made our anniversary night feel so special. She also recommended the only alcoholic drink my fiancé has ever actually enjoyed. Very impressed with our experience. We will definitely be back! P.S. The only reason for the 4/5 on atmosphere is because the live music was a little bit too loud. but it was still enjoyable.

Service was great. Restaurant was beautiful and the singer was excellent. BUT the food was hit or miss. For the price it was not worth it. Mushroom cap escargot - mushrooms were ok but the escargot was burnt. Fried shrimp had good flavor but the batter was greasy and we didn’t finish it. Chicken and gnocchi- chicken was dry. Gnocchi was ok. Spinach artichoke fondue was not fondue- that was a dip with a little fire under it. What was good? Surprisingly, the grapes appetizer. So good! The cheese sticks are not what we expected but really really good. The duck and Brussels - excellent. The burger and sweet potato fries also good.

First time trying Texas BBQ and it did not disappoint. The brisket was juicy, tender and smoky. The pork ribs were mostly juicy with some of the thicker meats being a bit dry and not very much smokiness, but still good overall. My father in law enjoyed the turkey sandwich and my mother in law said that the chicken was nice and juicy. The BBQ baked beans had no BBQ in it so it was savory and not sweet, but still pretty good. The cream of corn also was not sweet at all, but also still pretty good. The restaurant was clean with a backyard type of ambience. Counter service was good, but lacked the country style warmth.

It's okay. The customer service and staff was great. The food looked delicious. I tried the Green Chili Stew, which was pretty good. It was a bit spicy, but tolerable. I really wanted to have the pecan pie, but it didn't look very appetizing. Everyone else enjoyed their meal.

We wanted Texas BBQ in Texas and this was delicious. They sell everything separately so you just order your meat and sides in the size you want. The turkey was amazing. The potato salad was a little sweet for my taste but the other sides were delicious. I loved the country atmosphere and the employees were very friendly. My only real complaint was that I was hoping the ‘store’ would actually have some souvenirs or Texas decor or something (similar to Cracker Barrel if you’ve been there) but with the exception of Rudy’s T-shirts and hats it just has a few snacks and drinks. Overall I’m glad we chose Rudy’s for our Texas BBQ experience.

The food was absolutely delicious 🍽️, and the atmosphere was fantastic 🎉. You must try it there!

I ordered a group meal from here for our game night on 6/15 to be ready for pick up around 5pm. The food was ready when we arrived, and was still at preferred temperatures when we got it back home. The pulled pork and moist brisket were juicy and packed full of flavor. All of the sides were delicious and had us going back for more, and I was surprised to see that they gave us an entire loaf of bread and a whole bottle of barbecue sauce! Everyone enjoyed the meal and had a great time.

Love Rudys say what you want but I think they are most consistent best BBQ in town all these other supposed to be amazing BBQ joints are never consistent Rudys is great every time.

The pulled pork and turkey are just out of this world, the peach cobbler is really good as well. For me personally the brisket and bbq ribs were not that good and they had a weird aftertaste. Cole slaw and potato salad are ok but not that good.

Cold food that was just alright, not horrible but FAR from good. Wish the strawberry waffles had real strawberries and not frozen soggy ones I couldn’t even eat bc they tasted like water.

Service was good. Food came fast. Portions were good. Very little flavor.. Eggs still runny being scrambled. Sausage tasted like it was precooked, and cold. Prices are decent, for the amount of food. Negative side, THE FLIES, EVERYWHERE.

First time wanting to try something new with my family. Nothing special about drinks, decently made. Food was okay despite the minor issues like not being notified about certain ingredients, the size of food portions and the photo of the slice of “Texas bread” with no butter. Waitress did not ask us once if our food was okay and much attitude (Paula latina maam) don’t mind the food but maybe try another location for a better experience.

Service was great, but we had five people at our table and all of us agreed the food was bland. The pancakes were the only good-tasting item. Everything else seriously is not worth the money. The food is overpriced and it is really not good. I hate leaving a bad review, I really do, but unfortunately the food was just terrible despite the great service. My father had the Mega Breakfast and it was everything but mega. He said the food was plain. My mother had eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and pancakes. She said everything tasted plain. My grandmother had the omelet, which she said was flat and had no flavor. My husband had steak and eggs. He said the steak was the worst he has ever had and the eggs were undercooked. I had the breakfast burrito. It had uncooked onions and bell peppers on top soaked in salsa, and it was hard to eat. The taste simply was not good. Again, I truly do not like leaving bad reviews because I try to see the good in things, but the only good thing here was the service.

Normally the waffles are amazing, but yesterday must've been an off day. I've had omelettes, biscuits, pancakes - all have been alright. The service is always really great though - I don't think just any waitress could hack it. They're always very friendly, quick with requests and very accommodating of larger parties.

Good old hole in the wall cafe serving real breakfast. No fancy coffee here. Big portions and delicious. Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. If we ever get back out this way, we will definitely be stopping here!

We hadn’t been here for a while, but we know we can always get great breakfast with excellent service here. It was a bit warm in the building, but the food and service were great as always.

Place is clean. Nice atmosphere 😎 Staff was a little inattentive. But we got someone else.... Appetizers took 35 min. *The food was good. We had steak 🥩 you can tell they're not 3D printed that's hard to come by these days. Thank Y'ALL for that 🙏 They have alcohol. Not sure how strong the drinks are.

VJ Gamez, managing partner, stop by our table to ask how our meal was…and we couldn’t brag enough on the delicious lunch. We enjoyed today! We are regulars. Great prices on wonderful food.

The food was pretty good but the broccoli was a little undercooked and the steak was closer to a rare than a medium. I don't like to send food back because I just hate to think what the chef might do to it when I complain about something being undercooked - So, I just don't complain. I ate it and it was decent but they need to learn to temp their steaks

I travel quite a bit on business so I try new restaurants everywhere I go. For this place the first clue should have been the parking lot being fairly empty for dinner but I still gave the place a chance which was a mistake. The food was sub-par at best. I ordered the 16oz ribeye cooked medium with sautéed oniins abd mushrooms, sweet potato casserole, and Spanish style corn for my sides. While the ribeye was cooked to order atleast 6oz out of the 16oz was pure fat and the corn had so much vinegar in it that it was inedible. I sent the mushrooms and onions back to get sautéed a little long and literally got back 6 mushrooms and 5 onion pieces. The only positive about the restaurant was Colton the bartender. He made some good suggestions on which beers to try.

We eat here frequently, and today was the first day we were disappointed. The steak was very rare and tough. It is like whoever cooked it did not know what they were doing. It seems like it was cooked on one side but not the other. Our appetizer came out at the same time as the meal. Not a huge deal, but we think the waitress forgot to put the appetizer order in, then she blamed the kitchen. If they place you in a back booth by the kitchen ask to be reseated. The alarm in the kitchen goes off constantly. We eat at Aspen Creek Grill often and always have had a great experience. We wanted to share these concerns so they can be rectified.

Our server was personable and cute! The menu brags about their family raised beef. We had been traveling all day. We were looking forward to a nice chicken fried steak. The meat was anything but tender. There were many bites that couldn't even be chewed. My husband's was pink in the middle. I've never seen that in a chicken fried steak before. The batter on the steak and the onion rings was super crispy and tasted of old oil. It was near closing but I would rather be told something wasn't available than get a bad meal.

Customer service is top notch and with such an awesome variety of food options you’ll not have a bad meal. If you’re a sports fan you’ll love it too as there’s television everywhere and the bar is the perfect hangout. A must go visit restaurant here in Lubbock.

The atmosphere is awesome! Along with a full bar which is fun. There no reason this place shouldn't be packed with people. But I would agree with the reviews, service is slow. There was 1 family of 4 and about couple in there while we ordered. It took a little longer than expected for food. This is a FUN place but that's not the vibes the staff gives off. The food was decent, I would say its a little pricey for what you get.

Build your own burger is the way to go! Vegetarian patty, all the toppings, sauces and served with fries. What a great place to have dinner with friends. Don't forget to stop by the pickle bar - they have AMAZING pickles. I chose the Strawberry shake to go with my meal and it was delightful.

First time here! The staff is very nice :) Food was great! I got the basic burger with cheese and bacon. I ordered a side of homemade onion rings which were delicious. The different sauces were a great addition as well . I also ordered the Oreo milkshake- it was custard base and fluffy (good flavor but hard do sip out of a straw.) I definitely will be back

If I could give this review zero stars I would. I ordered a BigTex burger cooked medium, with no tomatoes, and an order of fries. 1. The burger was absolutely raw through and through. 2. There wasn’t any avocado on the burger and the onions were basically raw. 3. This might have been the smallest helping of fries I have ever received, or $5?? That is ludicrous. This was an absolute disgrace of a burger and fries meal.

It's an awesome burger and a very cool place to go hang out and have a drink. They have a special chefs buger that changes and is never the same. If you are driving thru Lubbock TX or visit, you have to stop by and try their burgers.

The customer service was amazing. The food options are great. I love how you build your own burger instead of it being built for you. The atmosphere is very fun. I also love how they tell the story of twisted root on a screen. They also had little games that you could play while you were waiting for your food. They had a full bar. And I also love how you could sit towards the front of the building and have the windows open. They had drawings on the bar of people that had came there. About six months ago me and My now husband went there and still saw our original initials. It was just all great experience. Oh, and I just love the pickle bar. We will definitely be going back.

This is a great spot. We really liked our burgers and chicken sandwich. The bar was okay, but we didn't really come to drink and watch sports anyways. Love the coasters for when they call out your order!

I had lunch with a customer here around noon on 3/11. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The staff were kind and friendly and kept the refills coming the entire visit. We started out with chips and queso. The chips were crisp and seasoned well, the salsa was flavorful but not spicy at all, and the queso was nice and cheesy with great flavor as well. Then I got the Monterrey Chicken for my meal. It was fantastic. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and seasoned wonderfully. The rice was also cooked expertly. The chicken was moist and juicy and exploded with flavors that danced well with the cheese, bacon, and avocado. Overall, this was a great place to take a customer for a lunch meeting. And we had a good time!

Everything was bad. Really if l can put 0 stars l can do it . But not l need to put 1 star, ⭐️ the food was not flavor taste like oils Hamburger and ring onions are disgusting tastes like oil. And the margarita mango tastes like alcohol not mango flavor, hamburger meat was dry my. Mother’s Day was horrible l never go back again.

Most definitely the worst fajitas I’ve had in my life. Look at the pictures and tell me that they do not look grey. And if you’re going to serve store bought tortillas, and least buy some decent ones. The only thing decent about this restaurant was the neon sign.

My friends and I love eating here! The host is very friendly and sat us immediately. There’s a wide selection of food options for everyone even picky eaters. The kitchen always makes sure that the food is correct. Never had any mistakes when ordering here. They also just put out an Oktoberfest menu. Joey stopped by our table and made sure that we were having an enjoyable experience. The waiters and waitresses are always so nice and welcoming. Will always be a favorite in Lubbock!

Nice atmosphere and staff, ordered the California Clucker and was disappointed, the chicken wasn't as flavorful as I hoped and came with only a couple small sliced avocados. The french fries did not taste very fresh either. The strawberry lemonade was good.

Their Tuesday night pizza deal is our weekly joy! Delish and affordable. We often get it to go but love some cold beer, at the restaurant is fun!

Teddy Jack’s Bar is awesome! Great food, cold drinks, and friendly service. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back — perfect for hanging out with friends or catching a game. Always a good time here! 🍻

First of all can we talk about this pickle chilton??? UHHHMAZING. The pizza rolls are definitely a fav of mine and the jalapeño popper pizza. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. Zach is the best bartender around. Zacky is definitely NOT wacky! 10/10 all around!😊

Ordered takeout over the phone, poor call quality - one large pizza. Was told it would be ready in an hour. We waited 90 minutes at goodline, heard nothing so we went over to check on the order. We had zero staff members check on us - had to approach the before and catch someone to ask about our order. Waited another 5 minutes and then we decided to leave and cancel the order. We shouldn't have to wait over 90 minutes for a pizza, and then when we arrive to try and check on it - get poor customer service.

Pizza was tremendous. Some of the best pie I have had anywhere in the last 8 months. Service was great, the vibe was wonderful. The wings could use some more meat on them. But we came for the pizza and it was absolutely incredible.

If I could describe the perfect pizza crust and then have someone make it, I think it would turn out like the crust at Capital Pizza. Soft, chewy (in a good way), and warm on the inside, lightly crisped on the outside. The pizza is not soggy at all even though they don't hold back on toppings. There are lots of options for traditional and specialty pizzas, and a really extensive beer list. I typically love a BBQ chicken pizza, so I had to try the Smokehouse pizza which is similar but has pulled pork instead of chicken. It was SO GOOD. Meat lover's also was delightful and lived up to its name. The place is unassuming, there is parking available, and the service is very good. Update: It was so good we went back after a few weeks. This time, I had the special (Capital Cordon Bleu) and the flavor was everything I'd hoped for and more. The yellow topping is dijon drizzle. This place is consistently delicious. It'll be tough to try another pizza place in Lubbock in the future! Update 2: A few times, the crust has been a bit off (thinner and a little overcooked) but that is not the norm, as long as you don't order a thin-crust pizza (definitely opt for thick crust here!). This is still the best pizza place in Lubbock and it could rival pizza places anywhere. Update 3: Over the past year or so, the crust has been much more consistent (i.e., best crust I've ever had), and now (January 2025), they've updated their menu to include even more delicious options. I tried a half campfire, half hot honey pepperoni. Highly recommend both.

It took some time to get our pizza. But well worth the wait. Crust was sooo good, the red sauce for the cheese bread, NEED the recipe Took the majority to go Even better an hour later. PB&J PIZZA WAS THE BOMB 💣 **There was a street taco pizza???? I didn't see that on the menu Definitely a must try place if ever in that area

My wife and I have been here several times over the years! Solid consistent fantastic service. Always a perfect experience, not sure why I haven’t ever in the past put a review for this place. However this time around, I wanted to share because it’s such a great pizza joint. We come to Lubbock a lot and this is a go to place for great Calzones and so many other options to choose from. Highly recommend!!!!

Ordered the special green chile chicken pizza and cheese bread. It was delicious all around. My husband said something was missing on the pizza but he likes his green chilies a bit spicier and these were mild. They were perfect for anyone who doesn’t like it can’t handle spicy. Delicious sauce. The cheese bread was perfect! Great service. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely come back here again, but try a different pizza next time.

Very welcoming family vibe from the staff. Bursting with flavor and a perfect level of spice to clear your sinuses. We would be happy to come back anytime. 😊

The servers are very nice, helpful, and quick. As an Asian American who traveled to Vietnam and Taiwan last month, this place is very sweet. I think it is a Lubbock “where you at got to make it sweet” for the American palate. The Pad Thai, sweet. The Thai green tea, super sweet. The curry? I liked it and will give it a 5 star for Lubbock. Everything else, 3 star for sweetness, but if the locals like it, then yes, keep doing that bc that is what they prefer — so make that paper (dinheiro). Overall I give it a Lubbock 4-star. There were a ton of people ordering for take out and dine-in. And I like to support small immigrant business so give it try.

I love it here! Food is tasty and affordable! Satisfy your cravings without breaking the bank! There are so many good food to try so there is a good reason to come back from time to time! Crispy noodles or chow mien is like a comfort food for me. Green tea drink is surprisingly sweet! I am used to drink it without sugar but this one turned out great! Perfect for Summer days to beat the heat. Will definitely check my attendance back there!

Great all around. Only complaint was that the pad thai was a little greasy. But other than that, amazing food, amazing service. Had Kool Special, Pad thai, and sticky rice with mango.

These are my opinions on Thai Pepper: The Good 👍 - The best Pad Thai in a 300 mile radius - Excellent curry, fried rice, and appetizers - Take out available - Near campus The Bad 👎 - Long wait times - Crowded seating area - Only open on weekdays - Sometimes closed for extended periods of time - Have to wait in line to pay when you leave - $10 card minimum There's no doubt Thai Pepper has amazing food, and if the food was all that matters this review would be five stars. Unfortunately I typically have to wait ~15 minutes to have a server bring the menu when dining in if they are busy, and they are always busy because they are hardly ever open. I love the food but I find that often when I plan to get lunch/dinner there with someone that we arrive and they are either closed or too full for the number of people in our group, which has led to annoying situations. Overall the cost of the food is reasonable and I would recommend coming here to anyone, but I find myself coming less and less because the hassle isn't really worth it. Update: They renovated the interior, which is nice, but I waited for 15 minutes standing awkwardly by myself and still didn't get a seat 🙄 Update 2: I got there and they closed for the evening, likely just to spite me. Well played Thai Pepper, until next time (maybe never since I graduate soon) Update 3: bumping to 4 stars, I went back, find me a better pad Thai I dare you

First of all, the young lady that helped me order (my first time there) was very friendly and patient, and she recommended the perfect meal for me. The food was very good, not too heavy, and it came out of the kitchen quickly. If you want great Thai, food, Thai Pepper is a great option.

Whew, where do I begin. I want to start that I've been in Lubbock for 3 years and loved it until recently the service has declined severely. To being the overall ordering system is horrible, they take about an order every 5 minutes due to having walk in order at the register style. Along with this, the line is usually out the door so plan ahead at least an hour in advance just to order your food. Then, if you make the mistake like I did, and wait in the order line while trying to just pick up food from an online order you will be very rudely directed to the order pick up line that is labeled with maybe a 6 inch by 6 inch sign you probably missed when entering. It wasn't like this before, multiple times I entered and got my food from the order line however this time the staff wanted to run things different. The light skin lady at the front taking the order was rudely talking with the customers while the taller gentleman who had to deliver the food would apologize for it all. Not to mention, when you do get your food hopefully you got it to go. Due to the maybe 10 tables in the whole restaurant being taken, you may see yourself standing eating your food until someone gets up and leaves. We used to love coming here all the time for different occasions, but due to the abysmal service and price increases I can't see myself returning any time soon.

This brisket was hands-down my favorite in Lubbock! Perfect level of moisture without being runny or watery. The sausage was spicy and flavorful. My favorite thing about this place was their homemade BBQ! I had get a bottle to take home with me. I could drink this stuff - a strong tangy, sweet flavor. Highly recommend Tom and Bingo’s. A great place to get some excellent Texas BBQ from a locally owned establishment.

Incredibly warm and welcoming environment. The staff are happy to see you and treat you like an old friend. The brisket is moist, packed with flavor, and pairs perfectly with their homemade BBQ sauce. Best BBQ in town! Can't recommend it enough.

31 years wasted... I was born and raised in Lubbock and outside of 4 years living elsewhere I’ve somehow always found an excuse to not try this local staple while living here. That ended today. Real barbecue lovers should recognize that the small shack like demeanor is often where you find the best and this is no exception. Just a few chairs around the outside with small but adequate island for condiments in the middle is all this standout needs. The inside is decorated with aged and new local articles, cheer posters, and framed articles about the joint from multiple publications. Walked in to find a high school buddy ordering for his office and asked for his recommendation having known the guy behind the counter by name. I ordered “the Ian” (chopped bbq with jalapeño cheddar sausage) as well as the sliced brisket sandwhich to go. I came early so the wait was short and the anticipation was high. Hitting the condiment island, I had to check out the homemade sweet and standard bbq sauces. Both were fantastic in flavor, color, and viscosity. It was a great sign of what was to come. These sandwiches did not disappoint. Started with the sliced brisket and it was a perfect mix of lean to fatty pieces while every bite was perfectly smoked. The bun was perfectly fresh while being toasted to an exact golden brown. I opted with a healthy drizzle of the standard sauce and it was heaven together. The “Ian” was equally impressive with its nice balance of homemade jalapeño cheddar sausage and chopped brisket. The sausage carried a slow lingering heat that I found mild but some might find spicy if they have a low tolerance for spice. Pairing the sweet barbecue sauce with this one was a great choice. This place lives up to the hype and there is no surprise as to why they have been a must try for lunch barbecue in LUBBOCK. *make sure you ask for sauce or get some on the side because the sandwiches come dry otherwise*

My son, a Tech student and BBQ aficionado, urged me to try Tom & Bingo’s and I wasn’t disappointed. The brisket was moist and flavorful, the sausage had a coarse texture and the right amount of spicy heat and the employees were helpful and kind. Anytime I’m in town, for certain I’ll return to Tom & Bingo’s!

We we come to visit friends and family in Lubbock we always stop here to pick up BBQ. The brisket is absolutely awesome! Get here early to get some before they run out!

Awesome place to sit down and eat food was great I'm fuller than a West Texas tick lol

Must eat lunch spot in Lubbock. Delicious BBQ chopped beef sandwiches. Locally owned and operated. Sausage is also delicious.

Spur of the moment decision to stop in. I had a work friend who had a mustang in the car show so my son and I stopped by. We are huge car lovers. They had some awesome cars on display. We hadn’t eaten all day so we decided what the heck, we might as well. I got the Philly and he got one of the burgers. Legitimately the best Philly I have ever had. I got pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss and it was so good. We watched some football and pigged out. The service was pretty good. Had to wait a little long for the final check up to ask for the check and she didn’t refill my son’s tea but the food was so good we weren’t that bothered by it. Would be a really cool place to visit again. Lots of tvs, big seating areas, and just cool nostalgia pieces all around. Oh and it was under $30, no alcohol. So really worth it!

What a fun place! We had lunch here on a Sunday. They had live music that was enjoyable, you could still enjoy the conversation at the table and the music. We sat in the bar area the music was in the connecting room - open area. We will be back.

The absolute coolest place to eat. The vintage advertising (especially automotive related) is astounding. It’s like dinner and a show. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic place to listen to live music and enjoy food trucks. We personally had a blast. Place was packed, atmosphere was phenomenal. Turnpike Troubadours did not disappoint.

Coffee and Cars at Cook's Garage is an event I always look forward to! The first Saturday of each month is ear-marked for this which is typically from 8am-10am (and it's free!). You can bring your vehicle to show off while hanging out with other enthusiasts or just come by and visit and see all the hot cars and trucks!

This is a must stop if traveling south of Lubbock. Passing through Sweetwater was worth it. The cars and music were fun, and all the neon signs made the West Texas drive so much fun.

At lunch here with a co-worker, Had their special.It was great.I'll definitely be back when i'm in the area

Not the most delicious food I've ever eaten but it still tastes great and is both better quality and cheaper than a lot of fast food. Service is quick and people are nice that work here. The newly updated seating area and bathroom look great and it's nice they have a drive-thru. I will keep coming back here.

Very small and unassuming restaurant with amazing burgers. We needed something quick while on the road and saw this place had been rated high so we decided to check it out. The line was out the door and there were people in the drive thru constantly and yet service was fast and food was exactly what you want from a place like this. Affordable and delicious!

Omg!!! You'll this place is awesome! I've been hearing a lot about christakis burger, so we came to eat here! It was delicious the hamburger and fries were delicious 😋😋 the place is very clean I absolutely give this place a 10/10

Dined in at Christakis on Friday and everything was great! The food, the service and the cleanliness. Ordered the JoJo Burger and Gyro & they were both 10/10. We also got tots and fries & I think the tots were better. This will be our new to go spot for gyros and burgers. Can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

Oh my gosh. The best pastrami & Swiss sandwich ever. The onion rings were to die for. Great friendly service and staff. Super clean. The burgers, sandwiches, and dinners looked wonderful. Don't miss this place.

One of the best burger places in Lubbock. The kitchen is all women so you know they make their burgers with love. Not a fast food place but the burger came out very quick.

We were wanting to try something new and wanted burgers. This place was awesome. The food was amazing but they had the very best fountain coke ever. And the ice.... yummy. It was truly amazing. Oh, the cake....... sigh.

This place was a wonderful surprise. We sat on the patio, which was very cool. They even had live music playing, which was awesome. We did have to fight off the peacocks while we ate. It's not a big deal to me, but some may be uncomfortable with it. I had a whiskey flight to start and tried the brisket deviled eggs and the fried brisket Mac and cheese. DELICIOUS! The menu is large and has a very nice variety. We also tried two different steaks. Ribeye and filet. Both are very flavorful. This might seem a little out of the way, but you won't regret your visit.

After a tough day of work, I wandered down from the truck stop and was met with friendly people, great food, and some good local beer choices. Just the right vibe, and my server Hannah was helpful and personable. Thanks for making my day better!

Wow! What a great place to enjoy a drink, live music, peacocks, and cornhole while waiting for a table. The hostess was very welcoming and sweet about the wait time! Then we got to finally sit down and eat and the food was even better! Will definitely be visiting again if we pass through Lubbock again.

Fun atmosphere. Good food . Great service. Friendly. Great outdoor seating. They have an event center too. Good to do reservations for larger groups.

Wonderfully informal, but very worthy of praise. Honestly the prices are fair, and the menu selections cover a wide range of tastes. They do them all well and deliciously in my experience. I'm a local and I've been about twice this year. They have adult beverages and and the scenery is an experience in itself with peacocks that way from your hand and make their home in the Spirit Ranch the restaurant resides on. They offer outdoor dining adding to the unique aura, as well as indoors with the view from the large wall to wall windows showing off the same views the lake, shady grounds and lake. Staff is above average and the place is very clean. I can't encourage you much more to give it a try. Two people with a perfect dinner will cost in between $60 and $100 with tip and a couple of extras. Bring it home with a to-go plate, and I'll be willing to bet you'll go again next chance you get 😁

A mix of more elegant vibe with reasonably priced food! Enjoyed the Cajun Shrimp quite a bit but felt a little loud with the live music and a little short with waitress. Would like to come back again in the future though

Food was decent. Bit overpriced for the amount you get. Drinks are way overpriced. Got a Halloween drink that I thought was in a bigger glass and came in a tiny plastic shot glass. Was $12 for it. Not worth it. Liked watching the Peacocks walking around.

Recommended by a few Lubbock locals to try Bigham Smokehouse. One can tell from the bee line from the drive through , this family own business since 1978 is popular with the local folk. If you’re from out of town, Expect humble, sweet hospitality from all the team members- managers or servers… smiles and laughs way going conversation. Some of the team members have been there since opening and they still afforded their best smiles to their guests. Love that about them. Family enjoys good bbq and Bigham’s did not disappoint. Pork ribs 👌🏽were moist and fall off the bone. The moist brisket was amazingly succulent 👌🏽👌🏽and packed with flavor, and the smoked turkey … nothing short of well seasoned , smokey and tender. Brigham’s has got our vote. We’re coming back in the future for the chicken that sold out faster than one could cook ‘em!! That says how good it gets out here. Thank you for a lovely dining experience and hospitality and sweet smiles even though it’s been a blessed long day for y’all !! 🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽❤️ We are going to check out the musicians on your LP wall!!

Good BBQ been in Lubbock since 1978. Great cobbler. Smoked Turkey is good. Okra was good too.They have a drive through also.

My wife and I have been looking for a GOOD peach cobbler since our honey moon... didn't kno we'd find it in our own back yard 🤤😍 So glad we stopped on in and got some great BBQ and the best peach cobbler! (I had to get a whole tray to take home!)

This place has good food, no argument there but the portions keep getting smaller and smaller. It’s pretty much to a point where I feel I’m not getting my moneys worth. $16 for 2 slices of turkey and a slice and a half of brisket is not worth the money.

Clean and sleek dining area and kitchen awesome staff and great environment food was insanely good and filling still got desert even though I could eat it 😭😮‍💨

I've had BBQ from many of the 'famous' pit BBQ places around the great state of Texas but I believe Bigham's is the BEST! Service is exceptional, Food is consistently great and Serving sizes are always just right! All the other places I've been seen to trick you into over purchasing meats and charge for each individual item. With Bigham's the meal price is what it is.

First time here for Lubbock barbecue. This came on a recommendation from my best friend as one of the best places for barbecue in lubbock! I got the two meat platter with chopped brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage, and it did not disappoint. Drizzle that stuff with their spicy barbecue sauce and you have a winner winner winner. My palate prefers a little hotter in spice, but there's nothing wrong with what I had today. The okra was just right, tender and crispy and the onion rings were great, golden brown. It comes with a slice of Texas toast and you can add pickles, pickled peppers or anything else on the side that you wish for condiment.

Great place but we were waiting for our waiter for long periods of time (to get our drinks and to get the check) The toast on the chicken fried steak was hard and no butter. Besides that not a bad place to dine.

Food was okay but not very well seasoned. Very bland. Service was okay but not the best waitress would walk by multiple times leaving the drinks empty. Had to ask multiple times even when leaving the empty cup on the side of the table visible. As far as the restaurant they have a touch tunes box where you can play music but you’re not allowed to play anything besides country. They have all other genres blocked so that was a bit of a let down. Guess you could say it’s not a very inclusive place. Wouldn’t really recommend.

We ordered potato skins, they were awful! Our waitress ignores us & rolls her eyes when ordering. If everyone receives service like this, I can completely understand why they don't get more business

Stopped in on a Thursday night and the place was jumping for karaoke night. It’s more of a country and western vibe but the DJ does try to mix it up with some other genre’s of music. The bartenders were good and the food was good as well. I would recommend coming here if your into C&W.

I was expecting a food place with a bar, not a bar with food. It was a Friday and there was a 5 cover for entertainment, not a big deal…..but they made it a big deal. In the middle of my meal, a member of staff, not my wait person, specifically and personally told me there was a 5 cover. About 15 minutes earlier the female staff member with a back 40 shirt on was seated at the bar drinking shots and goading another patron to get me to move to the bar seat next to him. I thought it was weird and I told them I was good where I was……eating my dinner at the time. It seemed deliberate and rude that she mentioned with some extra attitude that they would be adding a 5 cover charge to my bill if I didn’t leave in 30 minutes. Santa Fe chicken, mashed potatoes and a salad. Meh, pretty bland and definitely not worth the hassle. I will not be “back“.

Usually we enjoy coming here but today was a different experience The owner wasn’t working which explains why the employees were sitting & laying in a booth. All employees were on their phones all the time. Bartender was enjoying conversation with her two friends. The draft ultra was flat, had a funky taste. Hamburger was overcooked & dry. Onion rings were grease. It’s sad young adults do not take pride in where they work & receive a paycheck. They definitely were not earning their wage today.

After enjoying our day at the winery, we stopped to watch the Texas Tech game. Of course, we snacked on appetizers and alcoholic drinks. We ordered the bacon wrapped jalepenos and fried pickles, which were both great. It's always good to drink responsibly with friends.

Wow! Thank you Chef Antonio. That was AMAZING! I had the Sotol Salmon and Shrimp The orange and grapefruit salad underneath was so delicious and refreshing. It would be a crime not to enjoy it as it paired perfectly with the seafood above. If you get Shelby as your server, well, you’ll enjoy the perfect meal!

We had the skirt steak tacos and lobster BLT after the chicharrone and queso appetizer. WOW, everything was fantastic and I kept having to pinch myself that I wasn't in a 5 star hotel in New York. Incredible quality in every aspect. Must visit!

Great place for work travel. The food is pretty damn good. I'm actually looking forward to eating here a couple of times during my stay, which is saying a lot for a hotel restaurant. I especially loved Shelby's hospitality. Changed my flatware without a fuss during each course. She even gave me a left handed spork.

Fantastic food! The fig bacon jam goat cheese croquettes were a perfect balance of flavors. The skirt steak in the skirt steak tacos has been slow cooked to melt in your mouth perfection. The blackened shrimp and grits sang. Took me a moment to find this place as its in the Doubletree but worth the effort. Cant wait to try more dishes!

Shelby was our server and she was so delightful! Not just to us but to everyone who walked in. The food was outstanding!! Highly recommend!

We love Claraboya! The menu is always interesting. The trouble is deciding! Shelby is a fabulous waitress. She really knows the menu & has informed recommendations.

Went with my family for brunch. Not o my was the food amazing (as it always is), but our server Hannah was great. She had the perfect balance of taking care of everything and letting us enjoy our meal. We will be back again soon. Thanks Hannah.

Our 1st time there and we were confused on where the entrance was. The doors off Broadway are the BACK DOORS. When you enter, go to the opposite side of the building to be seated. Menu is small and pricey. We had an order of Korean BBQ wings that were so GOOD. Then we had 2 burgers but they were salty. Our waitress was Awesome, it had a nice atmosphere, but it's not a kids place to eat.

We just finished a two night stay at Cotton Court and were so excited to try the restaurant. The first night we had cheese curds, scallops, elk chops, and the steak and Brie melt. The appetizers were good. The entrees were lacking. The elk chops were so salty we weren’t able to eat them. However, our servers were so great and the atmosphere was fun so we decided to try again the second night. We tried different apps and entrees this time and it was a similar experience. We got the charcuterie, peach wings, the steak and the quail. The peach wings were excellent. The charcuterie was disappointing. The quail was good. The grains were served with whole peppercorn mixed in and those bites were unpleasant. The steak was again so salty that we couldn’t eat it. My husband tried the blueberry pie and enjoyed it. The menu was extremely hit or miss. Overall, the service is the only thing that would keep us coming back. James, Trent, Carolina, and Sydney were all so accommodating, kind, and fun. Five stars for service. Two stars for food.

This was a great place for a delicious lunch in Lubbock! This beet 🫜 salad broke my brain— I don’t like beets and I LOVED this creation!! 😋 The presentation of everyone’s food was 10/10. All of the staff were sweet and very helpful.

Food seems fresh and mostly tasty, somewhat limited menu but prob appropriate for a hotel restaurant. They do have live music on occasion and great tables / seats to enjoy and listen. Drinks are alright, we thought they could use some better presentation & fresher flavor options. If they would make their marg mix fresh and offer a refreshing margarita or drinks with fruits & large solid ice cubes, huge lift! Overall seemed a bit pricey for the taste but great atmosphere. Good place to sit and talk or meet friends.

My husband and I went here for lunch on our anniversary. We had been here previously and enjoyed it. This time we were not even offered a drink menu when seated. We did enjoy the burgers we had for lunch. When we inquired about what the seasonal creme brûlée was we were told it was lemon. Being Fall now I might have expected something a bit different. We decided to order one to take home and enjoy later, as I had an upcoming afternoon appointment. When it was brought to us, it only filled 1/2 of a pretty small styrofoam cup that you might put a side condiment in. To say I was disappointed would be kind. I believe the dessert was at least $8 maybe more and MAYBE we could each get 2 small bites out of it. Not really worth it. I'm not sure we will be going back anytime soon.

An absolute must! The atmosphere, staff, drinks and food are really what makes the experience so amazing. Huge shoutout to Bekah and the rest of the staff! They're not just great at what they do, they're genuinely amazing people who make you feel right at home. Our go to before a show at Buddy Holly Hall or any kind of event downtown!

I’ve eaten here half a dozen times over the past year when my husband and I have stayed at the Cotton Court. The food is good, although the menu is somewhat limited. Our latest visit featured tasty but consistently too salty food. Cauliflower, a burger, and chicken wings were all over-salted - someone in the kitchen had a heavy hand with the salt tonight. But the ambience is fun and the service is always friendly and competent. Bonus: the poblano pimiento cheese on my burger was YUM.

Loved the live music out on the patio. It was warm but the music was fun. The deviled eggs with brisket was my favorite dish tonight. Good flavor plus’s brisket! The meat in our main dishes was a bit dry, both the brisket and turkey. The pork ribs and both types of sausage were delicious. The potato salad and Mac n cheese were good. Skip the coleslaw unless you really love pepper.

Brandy, the GM was fantastic! We drove from San Antonio to try West Texas barbecue for the first time and I was not let down! They had tons of different sauces to choose from, which I’m not use to. The brisket and turkey were hands down some of the best smoked meats I’ve ever had! She also hooked us up with the cream cheese apple pie to try, which was phenomenal! Come hungry, the portions are huge and delicious! We will be back again next time, Brandy! Thank you Lubbock TX!

Upon walking in, I believe it to be small, after entering it was much larger than I had expected. The cleanliness of The Shack was very taken care of. The friendliness provide by my server Alyssa, and the rest of the staff was comforting and welcoming. I ordered the King Daddy plate. Beef ribs (3), lean brisket, jalapeño summer sausage, mac and cheese, and loaded potato salad. I also order an appetizer of jalapeño poppers, and a kids order of fritz pie. The presentation of the food was made well, and the foods taste was exquisite. For dessert they offer plenty of options, I choose a pecan pie which was incredible. If you're visiting the big city of Lubbock, make sure you take the time to come eat at this wonderful BBQ place, The Shack. Thank you.

Good food at good prices. Friendly staff in a fun atmosphere! We had pulled pork sandwiches and brisket sandwiches.

Got the 3 meat plate with sliced brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and ribs. The ribs have good flavor and are tender. The brisket is thick cut and has good smoke flavor. The sausage has good spice and cheese mixture. The potato salad is a solid side choice with the right amount of mustard. The beans are very good.

Had the 2 meat plate, brisket, sausage and loaded potato salad, and coleslaw. It was pretty good, good bark and the flavor was not smoky just good. The sides were also good. Best bbq we have had in Lubbock!

OMG this was some great BBQ!!! The Brisket not too smoky and still very tender. Ribs was good Sausage was good but kind of cool in temperature. Mac and cheese 8/10 Potato salad was good. Great place for a BBQ Shack Staff was very nice and pleasant:)

Very small and cute place. The staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is very nice with the music they have going in the background. It’s not too loud, so you can enjoy some slight conversation as well. The pho was delicious. My first time trying it and I ordered the Pho Special/Pho Dac Biet. Definitely want to go back and try the Pho Seafood Combination/Pho Hai San!

Order pho on your own. Vegetables served were not fresh and very little. Mung bean sprouts have funky smell and basal was nonsense to eat. Pho supposed to have three kind of meats as I order but I have only one piece flank but all brisket. Brisket have funky smell while I chow. It may prepared for a long time before I order. I will not recommend this place.

I was greeted by the young host, and since I was dining alone, I was seated in a side section that was empty. I’ve asked if I can be seated in the main dining area, but was told that they keep that area for larger groups. It wasn’t full and I do think that a customer’s satisfaction should’ve been considered and better served, but I didn’t argue. A different young server came to take the order, and I must point out that both that interacted with me showed the least willing to be there, and do what they paid to do… pho was nice, although - as you can see in the pictures, they skimp a little on the add ons (sprouts, basil leaves). However there was a big portion of the noodles in the bowl. Not even ones I was approached to be asked if everything is ok, if I need anything, etc. seems like a nice restaurant, but service need to be better in my honest opinion.

This was our first time eating at Pho District 1. When you first walk in, it is a very busy place. We got seated right away. Our waitress was very prompt. Our food was ordered correctly, and the food came out really fast for a busy place. In my opinion, the food was very flavorful, and the beef was very tender. I will definitely be returning to this place! I will attach pictures of what we ordered, which are: B1. Bun Thit Bo Nuong- Rice Vermicelli with grilled beef & CC2. Com Chiên Thịt Bò- Fried rice with tenderloin beef

I’m posting this review on both Google and Yelp, as I’m not sure which platform the restaurant uses. 1. Our experience with our server was extremely disappointing. She was unprofessional, inattentive, and dismissive throughout our visit. I requested chili oil several times, but she kept bringing only a very small amount. It wasn’t until the end of the meal—after about a ten-minute wait—that she finally provided a reasonable portion. After we paid, we asked for a receipt, but she walked away, and we had to ask another server to assist us instead. 2. The fried rice was very underwhelming—it was essentially plain white rice with no egg or vegetables, even though we paid extra for it. Additionally, when I received the raw beef for my pho, the pieces were extremely small, almost like scraps from the bottom of a container. The pho itself is good, but I’ve noticed they tend to provide larger portions when you order takeout compared to dining in. 3. We were also charged for chili oil and another item that we didn’t order. Thankfully, the owner resolved the issue promptly and refunded us in cash, which is the only reason this review is two stars instead of one. Overall, while the pho tastes great, the service and food quality during this visit were unacceptable for the price. I appreciate the owner addressing the billing issue, but I hope management takes steps to improve both customer service and consistency in food preparation.

I stopped by this place for dinner with family while staying in the area for a few days, and I'm happy I did! The food here is delicious and fairly priced. You have the option of ordering pho with your own custom selection of up to 3 meats, which I went with - I ordered the custom pho with brisket and meatballs (pic attached). What I liked here is that they gave us each the perfect amount of beansprouts and other additions on the side; many other pho locations often pile on the beansprouts, and we may not use them all. Though, I'm sure you could ask for more here if you wanted! Our server, Mori, was super nice and friendly, which we appreciated, and the place overall had a warm, quiet atmosphere. This place is also located near a Market Street, making it convenient to go shopping right after having lunch or dinner. While we aimed to visit different places each day while we were in the city, we found ourselves wanting to visit this restaurant again by the end of our trip. Would highly recommend!

That was the veggie portion I received with my pho. When I asked the server for more, he said there would be an extra charge—but gave me a tiny bowl at no cost. However, the owner came by to check on the booth behind me, SKIPPED over me entirely, and then went to the booth in front of me to ask how everything was. This was my first and last visit. If you want amazing pho with a generous portion of veggies, take a trip to Houston! Even Dallas has better pho than this place.

Nice, clean building with friendly service and GREAT food with a cajun flair. Menu is not large but offers several different boils, fried fish and daily specials. I had the salmon croquettes - very similar to how I make them and very tasty. My hubby got the grill salmon and it also was very good!! We will definately be coming back to try more!!!

Like great home cooking? Add this 🔥 spot to your radar. Met a couple friends for lunch here and had a great experience. Grabbed the fried fish tacos and they were great. The breading and sauce on them was great! The rest of table got meat load and lobster Mac n cheese. Compliments all around for the fresh, hot, and tasty food. 😀😀😀

The Royal Seafood Shack and Lee's Diner occupy the same space and each has its own menu so everyone in your group will be happy with the choices. We had the Diner menu and all were satisfied. Very friendly service. Reasonable prices. Good food. What's not to like?

The Royal Seafood Shack has been added to our regular eating places in town. The portions are very nicely sized and the staff of always happy to help out in any way possible. This place is new and needs your support so they will stay. I want to be able to return here again and again to enjoy some of the best seafood I have found in town. I hope to see you there on one of our visits.

Large portions, spectacular service, slow meal. The bowl of gumbo is enormous and full of fresh vegetables, the soup base is spicy and delicious. 😋😋 Rayden was our server and he was on fire! Answering the phone, taking orders, paying people out. Best service we've had in a long time.

Excellent!! Highly recommend! The food is excellent and the environment is wonderful. The King Crab legs were so delicious. We have finally found our go-to seafood restaurant in Lubbock!! The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are comparable to other king crab plates so anticipate that. We will be returning. 😊

This has some of the worst fish tacos. They put on cheese whiz. The French fries was cold.. The the worst chicken fried steak. The steak seems like it was just sitting around under a heat lamp for hours. Mash potatoes was too salty.

A very nice place to study. The food is superb, the customer service is great, and the customer base is very respectful. Many of the customers are regulars. I frequent this cafe and have yet to find another cafe that compares. I have traveled to several cafes in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, and Washington D.C. Every cafe is always missing something. This cafe serves food, has quality beverages, a great atmosphere, is exceptionally clean, and plays Christian music in the bathrooms. The only downside is that they close early (5pm), so there's no evening coffee lounge. Other than that, this place is great! I highly recommend!

Absolutely adored this find during our stay in Lubbock! Fantastic, friendly and QUICK service! We loved the atmosphere. What really stole the show was the Sourdough bread in the bread basket! WOW! The Butter Croissant was the size of my face practically. The Salted and Honey Butters were Devine. I could tell they were homemade butters! We also had the Coffee Flight and chose to try Creme Brulee, 92, Oatmeal Cookie, and Maple Bourbon. For me, 92 was my fav then Creme Brulee followed right behind. Thank you for such great hospitality on our last morning in Lubbock!

My favourite cafe in Lubbock. Their coffee is of course delicious and the tea menu is also great! I love their half sandwich and cup soup set. It's a great value. Their pastries are chef's 💋 I love their interior too. I feel cozy and luxury.

The café itself is absolutely adorable—such a cozy atmosphere! It was busy when I went on a Sunday (which is true for pretty much everywhere in Lubbock), but I felt like they handled the rush well. The coffee is delicious, and I especially love the seasonal flavors. That said, the food was a letdown. I ordered the gluten-free avocado toast from the breakfast menu, and it was horrible. The bread wasn’t toasted, the avocado was clearly prepackaged and sparse, the arugula was mostly stems instead of leafy greens, and the egg came out hard-boiled instead of poached. I really appreciate that they make the effort to offer allergy-friendly options, but when you’re paying extra for gluten-free, the quality should match the standard menu.

Everything was delightful, from the cute decor to the cozy vibe. The food was delicious (except the baked eggs- too hard for my taste). The bread was phenomenal and the coffee was solid. Will definitely visit again if I ever get back to Lubbock.

I loved my brunch at Ninety-Two Bakery & Cafe! I am gluten- and dairy-free and was thrilled that they had a GF & vegan lemon poppyseed loaf available. It was on its own cutting board and several inches away from the other pastries in the window, and they had tongs for serving the individual lemon loaf slices. I enjoyed my salad, and my husband (no food allergies) had the Italian sandwich. He was impressed with the quality ingredients, but wished the sourdough was layered with some type of mayo/aioli sauce because the sandwich was a bit dry. We both loved the lavender lemonade!

I come here every week, and it’s truly the highlight of my routine. The coffee is always excellent, but what makes this place stand out is the people. The staff is so kind and welcoming, and they even know me by name now—it feels like more than just a coffee stop, it feels like community. Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just great coffee, but a place where you feel at home.

I’ve been to many bars and I’ve never had great service like the one I’ve experienced here. Claire is absolutely amazing. I told her I wanted a cherry vodka sour and she did one better. I’ve never had a drink hit my taste buds the way this drink did. She was very funny, friendly and engaging. I can’t believe she is new. She will definitely bring business into this hotel with her winnable personality. Thank you Claire for making my stay just 10 times better. You are very lucky to have her joining the team.

We were there for a two night stay, My Wife had an out patient surgery the same day. We were gone all day, Just to come back around 4pm to a room that was not cleaned. You would expect this kind of poor service from a place that has a Big 6 on the outside building, But not the Overton Very disappointed !!!!!!!

This was our 4th stay here and sadly probably our last. Each time we thought maybe it was just an off day and wanted to give another chance. The customer service is always great! We enjoy the restaurant and the lounge! The location is great. The lobby area is nice and makes you think you’re staying somewhere top notch. However, the rooms are awful!! Cleanliness is lacking, there’s no water pressure, and everything is out dated. We stayed on the “preferred levels” hoping that would make the difference. This time there were dirty wash cloths hanging on the cheap shower curtain rod, there was a strip of fake eyelashes in the sheets, the shampoo bottle had makeup on it from a previous guest, and the bathroom tray with glasses on it looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in months. It’s terribly disappointing because it could be such a nice place.

Disappointing Stay—Not Worth the Hype I was really looking forward to staying at the Overton given its reputation and proximity to Texas Tech. Unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. What went wrong: Cleanliness was subpar. My room looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a while — stained sheets, grimy bathtub, dusty furniture, and leftover food still in the mini-fridge when I arrived. Maintenance issues everywhere. The air conditioner barely worked, some lamps didn’t turn on, and the bathroom looked tired and in need of renovation. Service quality was inconsistent. Staff at check-in seemed rushed, and housekeeping requests were brushed off. Food and restaurant: big disappointment. I couldn’t even get someone to take my room service order. I spent over 20 minutes being transferred back and forth between the front desk and the restaurant before giving up. I finally had to order through Uber Eats just to get dinner. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was because, after a full day of traveling, I wanted the convenience of eating in my room. This was completely unacceptable and extremely disappointing. Overpriced for what you get. For the rates charged, I expected far better. Instead, the hotel felt dated and poorly managed. Bottom line: The Overton has potential, but it falls far short in execution. Poor cleanliness, weak service, and a total failure on something as basic as room service made my stay frustrating. Unless things drastically improve, I’d recommend looking elsewhere in Lubbock.

The hotel was great everywhere but the actual room. The bathroom was not clean, one roll of toilet paper was provided and the shower curtain had mold and shower floor was dirty. The mirrors and furniture had not been dusted/wiped down and duvet had a stain. I recommend all to check the entire room before getting comfortable for your stay. I stayed three nights and not once did anyone stop to replace towels or TP, maybe that’s the new thing…??..

We were lucky to arrive for an early week stay at the Overton. Clean rooms, friendly staff and overall a quiet atmosphere. Less than a 5 minute walk to various restaurants. With room service and a restaurant inside as well. Deposit per night for my trip was 50/Night. Overall a pleasant and peaceful trip to Lubbock, thanks to the Overton and its staff

We came for wedding with a lot if family members and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms and the views from the 9. floor. The staff was very friendly and polite, and extremely helpful procuring what we needed for us. The bar staff was very professional and went out of their way to provide us with what we wanted until they closed (which was way later than the official business hours) Thank you all for your efforts on our behalf!

Their appetizers were really nice. The onion rings and cheese stakes were pretty good. We also tried wings. However, the quality was not that good. The beers were also nice except the buffalo one.

they’re dictated by horrible management and use that as an excuse to mistreat their employees and customers. their bartenders only care about themselves and provide horrible customer service. The only good bartender is Daniel, he’s always so amazing and make such good drinks!! Nalani is also a great server when we’re in bar, but please never get served by Jazlyn she’s horrible and rude, slow, and her drinks never taste right.

We waited 1 hour and a half for our drinks 2 hours for our appetizers and food forgot 1/2 of our order and then to top it off was feeding my grandbaby macaroni and pulled a piece of plastic out out of my mouth

We had such a great experience thanks to our amazing waitress Lyrik! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Our drinks stayed full, food came out just the way we asked, and she checked in at all the right times without being overbearing. You can tell she really cares about making sure her customers are happy. Highly recommend!”

Waitstaff seemed like they could care less. Watched a waiter punch a wall 3 times. Only good waitress there is Melinda. Asked to speak to a manager and upon speaking to the manager it was clear where the problem started. Manager could have cared less that her staff and kitchen failed to due their part. Manager Liz brushed us off like we were nothing and took zero accountability. Will not be coming back to this location.

Worst customer service. Had to go and serve my own refills, food took forever to come out even with almost the entire building being empty. When we finally got the food it was cold. Half of our order was wrong. Didn't even get ranch for our wings. Wolforth BWW was better.

I had a really disappointing experience here. The food took a long time to come out, and on top of that, our drinks were never refilled. I sat there and watched one waitress taking care of about 10 tables all by herself while another employee just walked around, staring at us waiting for refills, and only wiped down tables instead of helping. The poor waitress was clearly stressed and overwhelmed due to being understaffed. To make matters worse, this was opening week for college football in a college town, you’d think the restaurant would be prepared for the rush. Instead, service was slow, frustrating, and unorganized. Definitely not the game day experience we were hoping for.

I am glad we were able to stop by here on a recent trip! It was not our favorite bbq if we are being honest, we visit a lot of the top 50. The sausage casing was very tough and the beef didn’t have much smoke flavor to us. BUT, it WAS the best pie that I have EVER had! I wish they shipped them because we live far away! SO good!

Okay, this place is Texas BBQ to boot! Hands down my favorite place to eat while visiting Lubbock. While this BBQ joint is just outside of Lubbock, it’s a super quick drive to get there. No more than 15 minutes from anywhere. Be warned that this place is so good and popular there is almost always a 30 minute wait to get in. It’s a long line, but it’s worth it! If you plan to eat here, don’t get here much past 11:00 AM or it will be closer to 12:30 before you get through the line. They have all the right meat choices. Brisket, ribs, chicken, sausage, etc… the sides… that’s where it’s at. Green chili cheese grits?! Ummm, yes please. Potato casserole is legit. They have 5 different pies and other cheese cakes and pudding. The whole experience is great. The people are awesome, both the staff and people waiting in line. They have a separate bakery and you can preorder pies, etc. also there is outdoor seating when the weather is appropriate. This was a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend you stop here to eat. It’s BBQ that’s worth the trip and the wait. Best place to eat in Lubbock.

OH MY GOSH!!! First of all I will try to make this short but that may be difficult. We have been waiting to try this place for months. We knew it was going to be good due to the raving reviews but this place is a must if you want guaranteed great food. In one of the videos we watched the owners talked about wanting for everyone to love and eat good food and you can taste the love in the food! (The beans are so amazing.) They love there restaurant and we love it too! Can't wait to try more on the menu. Don't let the line scare you. Its worth the wait and they are working hard and fast! The line is worth the wait and every person in that line knows that! Thanks for the great bbq.

Mind blown ! Never had such good brisket and burnt ends. Ribs and sausages were good too but the brisket was the absolute star. This was our last meal on a reunion trip to Lubbock after 16 years and was just the perfect way to end. Wish I could fly some of that bbq sauce back home. Do consider packaging bottles :)

Really good! Brisket was awesome. Could have been smokier but it was fantastic. Ribs were unbelievable. They gave me so much food, I thought they made a mistake. Free beer while you wait. Line was outside the door when we left but the line moves fast. Huge selection of desserts. Tons of sdes also. The grits were off the charts! We were full and took a box of leftovers home too. Highly recommended!!!

A fantastic spot for top-tier BBQ! We arrived around 11:15 am on Sunday and while the line was about 30 people deep, it moved super fast. They even offer free beer (Yuengling and Busch) while you wait, which is a nice touch. The BBQ itself was incredible; the brisket was great and the ribs were impressive. The #6 family platter is a seriously good deal and comes with a ton of food. For sides, don't miss the corn and the baked potato casserole. The coconut cream pie was fantastic and fluffy, though the banana pudding was just okay. It was a little warm inside, but honestly, it was a small price to pay for such a great experience. It's easy to see why this place has been in the top 10 for the last decade!

Great BBQ. Was extremely busy, but worth it. The brisket was tasty, ribs are some of the best I have had. Cornbread is yummy, and grab a dessert...all is great. Staff was amazing. Would recommend for anyone visit the Lubbock area.

The service was excellent! The queso was wonderful, but some of the chips were rancid. The Tavern burger was very dry (both patty and buns), but the sweet potato tots were good. The pulled pork tacos were very smoky with good spice from the jalapenos and fresh salsa.

Our waitress was prompt and kind. She cheerfully overcame my food fussiness, and the dish was great. I would consider this to be an upscale bar atmosphere with a much better menu than your typical bar. I added pictures to show the changes in the menu and prices. Most things have gone up $1-$4.

First time visiting this place, came for Sunday brunch. Everything was delicious and service was good. Will come back for a dinner visit.

Always a fun place to go! My family has met here many times in the past year and a half. We have enjoyed it every time! The food is great! My husband and brothers in law have enjoyed the chicken fried bacon. When they do not have it as an appetizer, it can usually be found on a burger. Yesterday, my sister and I had the blistered shishito peppers and jalapeno poppers - yum! Their entrees are always good! We have always had excellent and friendly service! The atmosphere is great, and it is a fun place to get together with friends and/ or family! We will definitely go back again.

We were seated right away for an early dinner on a Saturday, and the place was already buzzing before 5pm. Service was quick and our waiter was really good. He offered me a sample of a beer I hadn't had before prior to committing to a dull pint. There were quite a few options for each course & very good drink selection. We had chicken fried bacon for an appetizer and that ended up being much tastier than I anticipated. Mains were salmon with Cole slaw and sweet potato tots for me and meat lover's pizza for the mister. We enjoyed both. The booth was a bit weird (seats kind of tilted in and leg rest was quite a way down), but I really liked that it was sectioned off so we could hear our conversation easily. Several basketball games were on, always a plus.

Have been for brunch twice. Scrambled eggs both times were fake eggs and cold. Everything was prepared food from Costco and wasn’t even served warm. Drinks and atmosphere were great but plan to wait quite a while for your food.

We got the waffle batter bacon as an appetizer, the chicken fried beni, and the glazed donut nashville hot. I actually ordered the donut smash burger but the waitress misheard me and I got the glazed donut Nashville hot and it was a happy accident. The fried bacon appetizer seemed a little overcooked and probably would have been great if it wasn’t. The glazed donut Nashville hot was awesome except for the subpar tater tots. Definitely a memorable dish though! The chicken fried Beni was good overall but the eggs were cold and unseasoned. The biscuit was the stand out and the chicken was tasty! So many other interesting things on the menu that we’d like to try, for sure! We sat on the patio and the atmosphere was great! We wish the waitress would have checked on us a bit more but service was good. Would go back!
