Cagel's Steakhouse is a good place for steaks, Bighams BBQ ain't bad, Lot's of places on University by Tech, Triple J chophouse.

 

Good call, forgot about that place.

 

Cagle's is a little out of town, but it's pretty hard to beat. Spanky's and One Guy's are about the only other places I miss from Lubbock.

 

Harrigans at Memphis and 51st is a nice steakhouse that is in town. One Guy from Italy does pizza by the slice right at Broadway and University. And of course Cagles way out 4th street heading East. Abuelo's has some good Mexican food as well.

 

Depends on the day, Home Cafe at 34th and Flint is fantastic, but not open on saturdays, Get there early for lunch as it fills up quick. The above mentioned are good as well.

 

Avoid Ruby Tequila's at all costs.

 

Haven't been to Lubbock in five years.
How about Riversmith's catfish restaurant?
It was near 4th Street and Avenue Q.

 

Pancake House on Avenue Q. We go every time we're up there. Awesome breakfast.

Cagle Steaks is fantastic.

Caprock Cafe is ok just don't think that the chicken fried steak is what they're known for. Order a burger there.

Josies burrito place is real good.

 

Cricket's for beer and a burger and hot chicks...Solely for food my vote goes to Jazz Cafe on 19th in front of the hospital (hopefully its still there)

 

I loved to eat at Jazz, and drink lots of not cold enough beer(it went down faster, learned that the hard way,lol). They have a dish called ****-*** Chicken, a twin chicken breast fried, served on dirty rice, topped with a cajun topping full of crab and crawfish and oysters, served with steamed veggies with lots of garlic and onions. The chef was a about 400 lbs. if he was a pound and from Louisiana, heard he got shot many years back and is no longer cooking their. I remember it so well because it was THAT GOOD. Everyone I took there loved it, and asked to go there when they came in town to hunt. It was one of the best plates of food I have ever had. Man I miss that,lol.

Crickets was the beer place right? Right near where On Broadway was I think. They had like 100 beers on tap, I liked it for that reason.

Spanky's was good, the fried cheese was their best item, health food for sure.

 

There are a few really good places to eat depending on price, type, etc.

Manna Bread & Wine - Located in Cactus Alley
- Small and great food (my favorite is the Pecan/Elk stuffed pork tenderloin)

Frenchman Inn - Located at 19th & Quaker
- BYOB Classic French... 77yr. old chef/owner
- Been there for 20 years & runs specials every Friday/Saturday
- One of my favorite places!!!

Las Brisas Southwest Steakhouse - Located at 112th & Quaker (Used to be Firewater)
- Great Steaks!!

 

cagels, abuelos, 50-yard line. If you go out on loop 289 there is your typical restaurants: Texas Roadhouse (it is actually pretty good), Chilis, Rudys, ect. Jazz is still there and still has good cajun food.

 

Good work, thanks guys (and gals).

 

Home Plate Diner on either 34th or 50th. Been almost 10 years since I left there. Chicken fried steak is awesome. Used to be several decent places to eat in the Depot district. East of Ave. Q, there are some good home style places as well. TX Land and Cattle is not that great IMO. Cattle Baron was ok. I wish I could remember the name of that BBQ place in the Depot district on 19th street. It was very good.
