Restaurants in Lubbock

“Food is always hot and fresh.”

“I’ve had great experiences with this location in the past, and when my order didn’t make it this morning even though the delivery driver said it did, the staff made it right and delivered the cookies themselves!”

“Brittany was very nice and helpful love coming to Outback”

“I went to celebrate my recent birthday. I got the Jap-Chae and Tteok-kkochi. These and the sides were all delicious. The music and cultural heritage diplat of South Korea is beautiful. And the hosts are so friendly and gracious. I will come again!”

“Dario's calzones are the ORIGINAL calzones from One Guy's! The taste, texture, and smell of Dario's calzones bring back memories from the University Plaza (U.P.) my sophomore year at Tech!”

“Awesome server Jade. Very pleased.”

“My husband and I were visiting Amarillo and Lubbock and didn’t taste African food for days. So we googled African food and ordered their grilled tilapia, okra and fufu . We also ordered their baked egg snack. Everything we ordered was just so delicious. I Wish I had googled them the very first day I arrived. I am lazy on making reviews but it won’t be fair not to make a review and share this with others who will be craving African food when they are in the Lubbock area.”

“One of my favorite places in town!”

“Papa V’s has ALWAYS been a staple in our weekly household food. The BEST true Italian style pizza pies you will ever taste. The slices are SO massive you can only eat one. This is about them going ABOVE & BEYOND with customer service though!! We will continue to get pizza pies every week here as long as we live here!!!”

“Tried the wedding cupcake and cookie butter gelato. Both were absolutely incredible! The almond flavor was stronger than any cake I’ve had before, and the extra punch of flavor was much appreciated. The cookie butter was a perfect blend of silky gelato with bits of cookie crumbs for an added infusion of flavor. Both staff members were so welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend!”

“Kobe was the best. She's the reason we came back so soon.”

“Cast iron grill has a delicious ? breakfast and delicious ? lunch and amazing desserts, and the staff always has amazing customer service ? I highly recommend cast iron grill if you want some delicious food ?”

“Highly recommended first time there today very big portions of food and everything was bomb”

“Well, I would have posted a raving review about J&B Coffee until the barista wanted to approach me and my service dog group to tell us that they “don’t normally allow dogs in” the shop. There were 20-30 people talking with grinders & other machinery going in a loud “garage-like” acoustics in this concrete floored building when my dog tried communicating with me with a single Woof. It was not 30seconds before the skinny female barista made it over for her admonition. Well, I’m thinking she could use some ADA training before she gets the place into trouble. Her and her cat can live a happy life together.”

“Gold Stripe provided a coffee/latte bar at my daughter's wedding. It was a hit!!! Great coffee and fun baristas!”

“This is one of the best steakhouses in Lubbock hands down. And the cheese melt is so good.”

“Ok. IHOP is IHOP. The food is always consistently the same. And the service has always been decent.
But this time the service was really good. As soon as I walked in the door the host had a smile on her face. And not one of those smiles you can tell is fake. Turns out she was my server as well. Brianna was a great server with a great attitude.”

“I have been away from Texas and any songs of a Whataburger for just over 10 months and I was so glad to finically get to eat there again. Yummmmmmm”

“Every time Christy P. waits on me, I get excellent service. She is always smiling and keeps my coffee cup topped off.”

“Whataburger better than In-N-Out hands down!!”

“Server and food was fantastic, but I've never met such a rude hostess. She was a middle aged Hispanic lady. We had a party of 6 (3 were on the way) and she refused to seat us until our party made it. I also watched her demand guests to follow her and catch an attitude when they didn't follow (because she never addressed them).”

“luv da burgers and fries”

“I went and got scared because Bryan wouldn’t stop staring at me. I ended breaking my hand on the coke machine but Bryan if you are seeing this please return the things you took from me Bryan please I need my stuff that you took from me Bryan so please return them Bryan👍❤️”

I also ordered a dozen brownies and everyone said they were the best brownies they ever had... baked perfectly, thick, perfect chocolate taste, moist. I'll definitely be back as a repeat customer!”

“Love the Shrimp and Grits taco!! Grab a piece of the red velvet cake too!!!”

“The Monomyth in Lubbock Texas: Nowadays I find myself in the Yee-Haw part of the state. That means that the coffee can double as paint thinner, and the coffee shops are designed off of prisons. Recently however, I had the chance to see an Don Giovanni in Lubbock Texas, where the person who played Don Octavio stole the show. He did nothing to help, and sang beautifully. Remarkable. While in Lubbock for my crossover episode with all the old Wesley +Laureen, we went to the Monomyth, a Coffee Shop. No only was the shop not a prison, but the coffee didn't come with its own chemical code. While that is all well and good, it invites something different to fill the gap, hipsters, and hipsters they were. Styled beards, flannel shirts, flared mustaches, light leather boots, jeans, and man buns. I felt as if I was behind enemy lines and it was difficult to get my bearings, so that I could order. I'm not fluent in hipster, but I can hold a conversion, so I was confident in my ability to order. "Should I do drip or bar" "We have a single origin Honduras on Bar" which caused Don Octavio's eyes to shoot out lasers and him to rip off his shirt revealing the Honduran Flag tatted on his chest. At least that's how I imagine he felt. "Sounds good, I'll have a latte" He corrected me, "You'll have a cap" And a cappuccino I had, and he was right it is what I wanted. I just didn't know. A near perfect barista experience where they can size me up and correct my order based on what they know they have and what they think I want and be correct about it. As for the drink itself, the milk was over steamed with visible bubbles, and while their was foam art it would have benefited from a slower initial pour. However, the espresso did a hard carry. The sweetness melded with the sour to make a thoroughly enjoyable drink. If I were to go again I would get just the espresso, the milk only took away from what I can surmise to be the unyielding power of Honduras.”

“Had a great time! Service was awesome, the food was delicious and the live music by West Texacans made it a great night!”

“Great place with a great atmosphere for the family or just with friends. They have a bunch of tvs all over to watch the available games. Great beer selection and food is always on point”

“Our server, Alondra, was amazing! Food was great. Environment was a little loud but it was super busy. Our first time here, definitely will be back when in Lubbock. ❤️👆🖤”

“The food was good and service was friendly. However there is one thing that needs to be addressed. When the cashier hands you the cups, she puts her fingers inside the cup. This is unsanitary. Please train your employees to handle the cups from the outside and NOT put their fingers inside the cups. I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant in awhile, but I usually place to go orders.”

“this place is spectacular in every respect for me, between an incredibly friendly staff that visibly work very hard, to exceptionally large portion sizes and incredible flavor for the price. I have never had an incorrect order or that wasn't hot and delicious. I'm constantly amazed every time I go, and despite the dining room being small, I prefer to actually eat there.”

“I love my Brewed Awakening. It’s the perfect start to every morning. The staff are always so friendly and really make a point to try and remember you so you don’t feel like just another number walking through the door. We had a company holiday party last year and the space was perfect for us. I highly recommend dropping by for a morning or afternoon pick me up.”

“The best service and fresh food. Waiter was phenomenal. Highly recommend!”

“This place has delicious food, good service, and a wonderful atmosphere.
I love coming here.
I have been coming here for many years.
I highly recommend coming by for some delicious Mediterranean food.”

“Picoso’s is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Being from the Houston area, I make it a point to come enjoy Picoso’s when I can. This time I ordered the Crispy Relleno. The queso and brisket was so good, it just melted in my mouth. The server was very attentive and super helpful. Another delicious visit.”

“Phe-nom-o-nal... The food is stellar. Service is on point. Vibes are great. No complaints. No notes.”

“Sooo disappointed they sat us hidden in a corner so rude even asking to move IT IS NOT BUSY!! Looked like a cute restaurant for us to adore but nope.”

“Definitely 100% recommend this place!!Made a 3hr trip to eat here for my Birthday!! Food is amazingly delicious,waitress very attentive and friendly!! HBD to me!!❤️”

“This review is for the new Ramen and Sushi Bar on 98th and Slide. The service was great, and we were seated quickly. The food came out fast, and it was so delicious, and the presentation was beautiful! we've been waiting for weeks for this place to open. we were not disappointed! We'll definitely be back!”

“Sooooo good! The staff was so incredibly nice and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and the desserts…..OH MY! We will definitely be returning again and again and again!”

“ordered 2 pizzas and a calzone online; had an 830pm pickup and my order was done early. Staff was extremely friendly. This was at the 50th street location. I'll be back for sure. highly recommend! 5 stars.”

“We had on unusual experience in that my dog got sick, diarrhea, and happened immediately when I was ordering. He had just been professionally groomed and was looking great! It was a huge mess and my wife called from the car.
Nick, who couldn't have been over 20 years old, was really professional and helpful at the front and let me borrow some paper towels, and was concerned and considerate. When I had to cancel the order on short order he was willing to do that, but the cleanup turned up to be not too bad (for a 130 lb Pyrenees) and we went ahead and got the pizzas anyway. The bad thing about the store is for some reason they don't think it's important to get the front door fixed and so for three months or so they've been dealing with this door. The location is great but the little mini strip mall is a little tight. I'm sure someone came into excited for their pizza which from the reviews seem to be well received. GET THE DOOR/WINDOW FIXED!! The previous location was more ideal and it's a trip to get across town to where this one is but it is well worth it!!”

“Great times at Red Zone Sports Bar in Lubbock TX! I had a great time performing there back on Wed Jan 8 with my good friends, Allen Valdez and Rio Grande Trio! I hope to come back in May!”

“😍Lubbock Food Review: 😍 Jay and I went to Savage Tavern today and let me just say it was amazing. This place is said to have the best BRUNCH in Lubbock. There were about 10 things we both wanted to try, but we settled on a Bloody Mary and these two amazing dishes. I had the Avocado Caprese Toast with potatoes and he had the Texas Migas with queso! Yall! It was fantastic! The service was superior and it was a fun atmosphere. We sat inside but they do have a patio and we plan to go back this week for dinner. 🙌 So if you are looking for a great brunch place on the weekend or just a new place, give this a try! We were impressed and will be back! Thank you ST for a great first experience!”

“Today was my first visit to the Honeycomb Pie Shoppe #2 but it won’t be the last. Great food, friendly staff, cute & clean shop. I highly recommend!”

“Everytime I go to Happy's I get the best customer service and the drinks and snowcones are amazing. I'd like to also say a worker named Addi at the one in wolfforth was was so nice and welcoming.”

“Food was great staff friendly. but bathroom’s disgusting paper towels & toilet paper on the counters not In holders. I had to wipe our table down as food was stuck & spilled on it.”

“Good staff and a fun atmosphere”

“Nashwell Cafe is always my first choice to come to get out of the house and get some work done. The local art decor, the variety of eats, and the tea is a favorite of mine. I enjoy the lemon and ginger tea with honey. The sausage rolls are absolutely heavenly!”

“Everything they have here is amazing!!! And the owners are amazing and good people as well. Everytime I come home from being on the road either local or long haul, Tastee Burger is my second stop!”

“This place has the best red beer we come at least once a week”

“I want to update my previous review regarding my experience at Walk-On's. After initially receiving no assistance and feeling extremely disappointed by how the situation was handled, I was eventually contacted by the General Manager, Terence. Terence took full responsibility, apologized for the actions of the staff, and made things right. The missing birthday gift was addressed, and the resolution showed a level of professionalism and care that was previously lacking. While our original experience was frustrating and disheartening, we appreciate the GM stepping in to take ownership and follow through. We're glad the situation was ultimately resolved in a respectful manner.”

“The food absolutely spot on delicious! The tacos are 🔥 fire!”

“Great burgers!!! This is a small place but it certainly packs a punch in the world of burgers. Certainly better than other restaurants in the area choices for a burger. Swing by and try them you won't be disappointed.”

“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.”

“We have been enjoying Chicken Run for a long time. Never disappointed! Great food and service every time. See y'all soon ❤️”

“Thai Thai owners/operators have created and shared with our Lubbock community their fresh and delicious Thai cuisinev for several decades! They are stand outs!”

“The best Thailand dishes in Lubbock, Thai Pepper offers a wide variety of Thailand dishes that Americans will enjoy. The owner, Nun, runs a fantastic restaurant with the most polite and helpful employees in Lubbock. The food is all delicious and I encourage you to stop by and try the Chicken Fried Rice or their Noodles Dish with Shrimp. The eggrolls and dipping sauce are delicious. Lubbock give her restaurant a try.”

“Coming home from the DMV I decided to get a quick bite and chose Taco Villa. I got a #6, 2 crunchy beef tacos and a 32 oz root beer, my husband wanted 2 soft beef tacos. They gave me enough mild salsa so I could smother my tacos but they were SO good, a nice, thick slice of tomato and shredded cheddar, oh, yum! I order for delivery a lot and will add this store, can't wait to try a taco salad if they have it.”

“Friendly place, great bartenders/waitresses. Live music.”

“Music too loud to communicate with staff without shouting or repeating”

“Totally enjoy their beverages especially when in company of my DEAR Friends!! Staff are friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!! :)”

“All the food is always delicious. Possibly the best burger in Lubbock. Even folks who don't typically like Frito Pie, like Shotzys Frito Pie. Not a better French Dip sandwich anywhere. Meatloaf Monday is a favorite and you can only get it on Monday. Portions are large enough that my wife and I split them. I think the cooks name is Kayro. I would kidnap him if I were to open an eatery. Jaycee is an excellent manager and waitress, always has a big smile. All the customers always seem to have a great time. Hospitality is wonderful, great food and a great venue.”

“VERY GOOD FOOD. IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND MY WIFE”

“This place is Awesome!!! The service is fantastic, the food is awesome and the quantity of food is great. Highly highly recommend this place. I ordered a 2 entry plate to go and could only eat half of it and had to save the rest for another meal.”

“The food 🥘 is the food and service is great food service”
