“We eat at ponto gaucho regularly. We love them!!! Plenty of gluten free options for us celiacs. Never had a reaction from their food. Great food and great service!”
“Thank you Chef Antonio. That was simply Amazing! I enjoyed the Sotol Salmon and Shrimp. The orange and grapefruit salad underneath was delicious and refreshing too. It would be a crime not to enjoy it as it pairs perfectly with the meal. If you happen to get Shelby as your server, you’ll enjoy the perfect meal. Mine was finished off with the key lime pie. I’m one happy patron!”

“I have never had such a thorough and welcoming experience in any restaurant in any place e I've been: the proprietor came to the table and explained the dishes, what paired well, the sides and was extremely welcoming.
The food was delicious and fresh, with a variety of fresh sides which changed daily.
I cannot recommend this highly enough!”
“Had a fantastic meal here recently. The food was absolutely delicious and hit the spot perfectly.
I was especially impressed with the onion rings. They were cooked to perfection and had a great crunch. Everything else served at our table looked just as good.
I am already looking forward to my next visit to this spot. It is a great place for a satisfying meal.”
“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.”
“Wife and I walked in. Cool atmosphere with a familial feel. Mama had a calzone and I had the spag bol. Have to admit the calzone was pretty darn good. My pasta was a perfect al dente imo. Their marinara is smooth with a pleasant aftertaste. The bolognese was just ground sausage with marinara. Good but not bolognese. Should be pork and beef slow simmered with soffritto, wine, and gravy. A nice ragu with more meat than sauce and tossed with the pasta, yeah? I give them 4+ Make a true spag bol next time we visit, I'll give em a full 5. The paper plates reminded me of new york. Very nostalgic. We had fun so I tipped them $100 and departed. We'll be back soon.”
“Oh dang!! I ordered a lemon flavored Stitch inspired cake for my granddaughter`s birthday. It was delicious and decorated perfectly. The lemon was very subtle but definitely flavorful. 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!”
“We cannot recommend La Diosa Cellars enough!!!! Our all time favorite place in Lubbock!! We always say it is one of Lubbock’s best restaurants. It is one of those places that is always consistent, from the food all the way to the service! We always have the best service and the food is consistently great. If you haven’t had the opportunity to venture to this hidden gem I highly recommend you do ASAP!!🤩🍷”
“Great atmosphere!! Wish they would bring back the strawberry ale.”

“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.”
“Oh Olive Garden how I missed you. Been over a year since we've been here. Okay here we go...
Decided to have a late lunch early supper. Started with a very berry sangria, little sweet but a great flavor. Of course you have to have their endless salad(has always been good, even better when u dip your bread stick into the salad dressing. My wife had their featured item, spicy rigatoni pasta with sausage and peppers. Very tasty. I had cheese ravioli with a creamy mushroom sauce. Top with twenty cranks of fresh Parmesan, made my plate look like it snowed on it . Way to full to order dessert, maybe next time.
P.S. their lunch menu is very good and u can switch different sauces on your pasta without a hassle. Staff was very friendly.
Boun Appetito!”

“I wasn’t feeling too well this morning and in fact, I felt really bad about life.
So I decided to eat a healthy sub to help.
J. Kue was my guy. Not all heroes wear capes, and for J, this was certainly him. He was a blessing in disguise and hell - even had his hat off to the side. I thought this was the end.
By the time he turned around and started cutting bread it was all over. I’d started a laugh that I couldn’t control. He made beautiful food an experience I’ll never forget.
I returned back to my car and I couldn’t remember the last time I cried and laughed at the same time so hard like I did. In a world so dark, J was my light. I really needed you.
Thank you J. Kue”
“Best egg rolls ever and the main meal was delicious along with excellent service.”
“I ordered the chicken fried steak, and as someone who really loves CFS, I was disappointed. While the portion size was generous, the steak itself seemed to have been fried against the bottom of the pan, or set for a period of time on parchment to seal a thick, flat sheet of crust that was greasy rather than crispy. I had to add a lot of pepper just to get some flavor. The mashed potatoes were also bland. I will not be ordering anything that is fried on their menu. On the positive side, the wedge salad was amazing, and the bread pudding reminded me of New Orleans — absolutely delicious. The bread service was inconsistent: the first round was dry and stale, but the second round was hot and fresh, which made me feel like the initial serving had simply been sitting out. If it hadn’t been for the salad and dessert, I would have spoken up about the meal. I was also disappointed to see cardboard boxes stacked in a way that hid the distillery from my view. That said, the service was truly amazing, and the staff were the highlight of the experience.”

“The first time I tried it was when I got some cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday! I continue to go back as the cupcakes, cookies, cheesecake bites, and even gelato are good! I have yet to find a treat that isn’t delicious. I think my favorite is the red velvet cupcake but all compliments to everything we have tried.”
“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.”
“We stopped by on our way traveling through and we’re very impressed! Very clean, friendly, and super fast service!!! I got the huevos rancheros and their homemade tortillas were delicious! My husband had the French toast and it looked incredible - he ate it all up! Big variety in menu but definitely a breakfast place!”
“I drove past this place for years before realizing it was there. My biggest mistake was not trying it sooner. This place has such flavor food, it honestly impressive I don't hear more people talk about it. It takes a little bit to get your food, but at least you know it's fresh. I highly recommend!”
“Y'all, this is our new go-to in Lubbock! We had a second to chat with Ben, the owner, after we finished our incredible dinner and then we loved it even more! The menu is so varied that everyone can find SOMETHING and the prices and portions are incredible! We had the egg and cheese grilled cheese, the club on a croissant, the chicken and waffles and a 1/2 beef, 1/2 mozzarella cheese Korean corn dog with potato, plus two spiral potatoes, and we could not have loved it more! The restaurant was clean and organized and he said he is even aware of what music he plays so as to be family friendly! This will absolutely be our new must have!”
“We stopped in at Parry’s Pizza to try their pizza, cheese sticks, and wings, and everything was absolutely amazing. The pizza was delicious with great flavor, the cheese sticks were perfectly cheesy and satisfying, and the wings were cooked just right.
One thing we really appreciated was the option to substitute a cauliflower crust for those looking for a healthier choice without sacrificing taste. It’s great to see menu options that can accommodate different preferences.
The atmosphere was also a lot of fun. They have plenty of TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to catch a game. During our visit, we watched the Texas Tech softball team advance to the Women’s College World Series championship series to face the Texas Longhorns, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, everything was great—from the food to the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Parry’s Pizza to anyone looking for excellent pizza, wings, and a great place to watch sports.”
“I had a wonderful experience tonight with just a simple call in order.. Alyssa I believe was a manager working tonight and took care of a very small problem with my order in the perfect way.. The customer service is always great when we eat here!! Thank you to all the staff and cooks for your hard work and taking care of our food for my family..”
“We celebrated tonight at West Table! The food was superb. The best food in town. My husband had never been and we just absolutely loved the vibe!!!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We ate here foe the first time tonight. We'll be regulars. We sat at the bat instead of waiting on a table. Destiny and Hailey the bartenders rock. Not only did the serve our drinks they got our food orders promptly and made sure we were taken care of. They rock.”

“This is the best little place you don’t know about. Stopped in to have a drink after a long day now it’s a favorite stop.”
“Cagle Steaks & BBQ is a great place for those who love quality beef and grilling. The dishes here are meticulously prepared, from tender, delicious steaks to flavorful BBQ dishes. The cozy and friendly space, along with the enthusiastic staff, create a great culinary experience. If you are looking for a delicious and flavorful meal, Cagle Steaks & BBQ will definitely not disappoint you.”
“We very much enjoyed our experience at The Nicolett. The restaurant staff were very friendly and had helpful suggestions.
Our favorite item on the menu was the cauliflower pasta. My wife was particularly happy that the dish used a combination of cheeses instead of heavy cream which is more accommodating to those with a degree of lactose intolerance. The quinoa crunch was a nice touch & very creative.
Second favorite was probably the Lavender Brioche. The salted bread was perfectly baked and was a great introduction to the menu.
We ordered both the Desert salad and Fried Salad and they were both good, but preferred the Fried Salad.
For mains, we enjoyed the Antelope and Fried Chicken. It was a nice experience trying Antelope as a steak cutlet (we’ve had it in burgers and pasta before)—and it was cooked and flavored very well. I think the chicken was ultimately our preferred Main due to the tenderness and surprising lightness supported by the accompanying sauce.
We’ll definitely be back to try again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.”

“The staff takes care of you and makes everyone feel like V.I.P.....which cannot be said of other bars! The food is better than you would expect...”
“Chicken and fish are good. Greens were a bit salty, Mac was greasy and not cheesy. The best thing I tasted were the hush puppies(amazing). They charged a 43+% gratuity to our bill. Our food for 4ppl was $80+ish and the tip of $44 was automatically added to the bill. Idk how this works, but if I'd known I would have eaten else were. Food 5/10 service 7/10.”
“Visiting from SA and found this little gem. Rather unassuming vibe and we walked right to the patio overlooking the small lake. Then life took a turn and we met one of the sweetest and amazing young Ladies and Server we have ever had. Thank you Aspen for a great experience and because of you we will return. Aspen, Be blessed and hope you do great things in life. You deserved the best!”
“Chicken wraps were great and so was the salad it came with. Get the salad!”
“The sweet potato was excellent. But my filet medallions were tough. nothing near the quality we're used to at TRH. Normally the meat is usually excellent. these tasted that something fishy was used on them. awful.”
“Been eating @ the Georgia St location every Sunday. Met friends, taken food to my employees. And $1.50 beer😃! Manager Chelsea is a rock star! Her guest service goes above & beyond!”
“We always have a good time my second family my second home”
“Just a simple, laid back restaurant that serves simply delicious meals. The meals are consistent and service is always exceptional. Very enjoyable and a great place to go sit down and eat with family or friends.”

“If you're in town, Midnight Shift is 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. Can't wait to come back, this place is a gem!”
“On a Saturday night, the wait was long everywhere, but not at Chili's! We got a table right away. The food took a little too long, but it was good. My son and I had brisket quesadillas and enjoyed them. I will come back to this location.”
“We love the Crew Rj and Gabriella always go above and beyond for our parties we’ve hosted two within the last 3 months because of the service and interactions we get with them 🩵”
“Tonight couldn’t have been better, Jared was spot on attentive to out order and needs. The only thing better than the food was the service.”
“I had a good time at a Cricket draft house and grill, especially the drinks we're very good along with the food as well, it will get loud in there, especially during Friday and Saturday night like a nightclub, especially when you're ordering a drink or 2, at least you'll have a good time with friends and family.
The floor is messy, especially the bathrooms are way worse. Especially the man's bathroom, and don't get me started on that.
They all need a major remodeling.
They will check ID during Friday and Saturday nights, especially, there's a long line of people trying to get in unless use the line leap app to get in, but it's gonna cost you.”
“6/4/26 4 of us had lunch. We were all satisfied with our orders and the excellent customer service we received. We eat lunch every week at different places so everyone needs to be satisfied with the food, service, and ability to hold a conversation without shouting over background noise. LH is on our list of places to return. What I loved was they were willing to do rare beef and got it right on the first serve.”
“Went for a concert. First time here to be honest it was hella hot in there feels like no AC or AC not strong enough. But the bartenders are A-1. And friendly. But Even Tho it was hot inside the vibe and music was on point. Music was a lil too loud but it is what it is. Everyone there was having fun and a good time so made my experience much better. DEEBABY MS SALAZAR TOUR LUBBOCK 6-26-25!!!!”
“We had a blast! fun atmosphere & the service was great. also appreciate the temp check at the door! it made me feel better about being in a crowd.”
“Sun 12/22/24 at the bar for like 3 minutes before even being the one door guy said didn't meat dress code but one of the other 4 people behind the bar was just standing there and didn't acknowledge me once.”

“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.”
“My only complaint about Jazz in Lubbock is - they're 100 miles away from Clovis, NM. I've been making the drive to Lubbock just for the crawfish etouffee for a number of years. When I walk through the door almost as soon as they open, they know where I'm going to sit and when I reach the table, my tea is already there, and I see a servers back as she's on her way to place my order. Generally, I'm by myself and get to spend time with the servers and the manager. Great folks, best crawfish etouffee outside of New Orleans.”
“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.”

“We came for the Monday night special and it was one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Very tender and juicy! The server was kind of rude, I don't know if cause we were young adults that she thought we wouldn't tip but she rolled her eyes when we were ordering and didn't refill our drinks. That itself is what made me put 4 stars instead of 5.”

“I had such a great experience at Golden Chick! Symeon and Joshua were absolutely amazing. They were super respectful, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. It’s hard to find customer service this good anymore, but these two really went above and beyond and made the whole experience so much better. The food was great, but their attitudes and kindness are what really stood out. Golden Chick is lucky to have employees like them!”
“What is this place?? Wow! All of their food & drinks are phenomenal! Just stopped off by recommendation & I wish I could take one or two of each item they have! Such friendly folk, too - this is the kind of place (& people) you want to help succeed! LOVE LOVE LOVE their bread & freeze dried snacks, & their sandwiches are out of this world. Don’t forget to try their dirty drinks! YUMMMMM!!”
