My current work requires me to travel to Lubbock on occasion. Here is my list of "must visits" for anyone making a trip to this small, West Texas town.
Carl Anderson: This place is a bit of a dive (and doubles as a redneck night club of sorts in the evening), but it has great lunches. My fav is the crawfish etouffee, but the chicken a la mer is pretty good too.
Carl Anderson: The strength of this steakhouse lies in its preparation of the leaner cuts like the fillet, but their bone in rib eye is pretty awesome as well.
Carl Anderson: I have only been to this place once (it just recently opened), but the experience was good enough to warrant definite a return visit. Personal recommendations: the Tuscan Fries or the Fried Pickles.

Carl Anderson: Don't be fooled by the outside of this place. The food quality and presentation are SUPERB!!! Very limited hrs (only open for lunch and only on certain days). Come early (11:30) if you want a seat.
Carl Anderson: This really isn't Mexican (in fact I don't think you could even call it TexMex). Either way, it's well worth a visit. My fav is the Enchiladas Cozumel (kind of a seafood & avocado filled crape).

Carl Anderson: Very fun, very laid back steakhouse...have never had a bad item on the menu. It's only a short walk from the Buddy Holly museum and has live music on weekends.
3702 20th St Ste A (at Louisville Ave.), Lubbock, TX
Thai Restaurant · 28 tips and reviews
Carl Anderson: This is another bit of a dive place that you want to arrive early to. The line usually stretches out the door and around the building during peak hours.
Carl Anderson: Try the Zingers or the Rib-eye, but keep your expectations in check before visiting. The food is quite good and decently priced, but don't expect a high-end atmosphere or you will be disappointed.
