This place is AMAZING. The staff is always friendly and the food is just THE BEST. Their specials are my favorite and they are such a steal for the amount of delicious food you get! Only $7.99 ($8.65 after tax.) Tuesday is the pot roast, which I had today, and it was UNBELIEVABLY yummy! Best pot roast I've ever had!! It also comes with two sides and roll, I had the fried green beans and mashed potatoes with brown gravy(BOTH ARE SO DELICIOUS.) I've also had their Thursday special before and it is so so yummy, king ranch casserole!! This place will leave you with a full stomach and a warm heart!! read more

Cast Iron Grill - Tuesday Special! Pot Roast with fried green beans and mashed potatoes with brown gravy and a roll! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Come here for breakfast on Fridays a couple times a month, and it is always consistent. Really fair prices for how filling the portions are. Generally when I am there it's seat yourself, and for a place so large and with so much foot traffic, I have never had an experience where it was more than 3-4 minutes to be greeted, have my drink order taken, the drink to be on my table, and my server asking if I would like a few minutes or if I was ready to order. Food comes out promptly and hot. I tend to be there for a minute and do some school related scheduling tasks, and my server has always done well to be attentive and continuously refill coffee and make sure I don't need anything. Further, I am always asked if I need any coffee/water to take with. I've had Rae as my server the last few times and she is a real asset. Clearly takes pride in being great at her job, and it shows in shaping a great experience. I know she has 100 things going on but even when I'm done always makes sure all her tables are promptly taken care of. Does a phenomenal job of understanding of her tables prefer high levels of interaction, or, like myself are less social. read more

I was passing through from Canyon, TX at Palo Duro and was so impressed. Super friendly wait staff, fast service, and yummy food. I had an omelet w/ biscuit & gravy & everything was perfect. This place also happens to be right next to the Buddy Holly Center which I got a small sneak peek before the long drive back to San Antonio. read more

Welcome to flavor town! Cast Iron Omelette Rocks. Jessica our server filled our coffee 6 times and we never had a chance to ask for anything! Great tasty hot home cooked food, service that deserves 10 stars! Get yourselves over to the Cast Iron grill and thank me later! read more

best home cooked food, great service, and the atmosphere is fantastic - highly recommend!!

Great food and dessert, staff is delightful as well. They have some of the best local pies. Breakfast & lunch are both a delight.

Simply superb. This is a traditional Texas breakfast. If you are familiar with Jenny Craig, you may want to reconsider. Great wait staff. Lots of coffee. Great food with good sized proportions. Don't miss it. read more

Love this place great food and great service the home made desserts always hit the spot.

Love breakfast at the Cast Iron Grill. My family meets frequently to visit and have our morning meal. The food is just good West Texas breakfast food. Hearty, tasty and filling. Great coffee! Staff is amazing! This building a historical landmark. I remember coming here in the 80's & 90's when it was Stubbs BBQ and listening to the bands. I am so glad it is still serving West Texas grub and keeping the soul in the city. read more

Wanted to try this place because it was rated so well! But never could because of their hours! Luckily, this past Monday, I had the time to make it for lunch...and I am SOOO glad that I did. I definitely know now why this place is #1 in Lubbock! The meal started off very nicely. We were waited and greeted, despite the amount of cars outside...there was absolutely no wait! Our waitress was very nice and friendly. The decor was pretty cute as well! Very Texan and homey...and boy, was it crowded! We also used the Yelp "free appetizer" for chips and salsa...so that was great too! I ordered the daily special, which was chicken ans dumplings with a side. I chose green beans as my side. My boyfriend got the chicken fried streak, with green beans and mashed potatoes. AAAAAHHH the food was great! The cheese bread was absolutely amazing. The chicken fried steak was the best ever! I definitely recommend it. The chicken and dumplings were delicious as well...warm and had a great spice and flavor. If you can go to Cast Iron...I definitely would. I wish they had better hours! I would go for dinner! But it's a great place, you won't regret it! THE BEST "comfort" food at a great price! read more

This such a wonderful place to eat. I have taken several people here from out of town and they also lovers it It is hard to say what I liked the best because I have enjoyed everything I have had read more

When we come to town to watch out son play football for Texas Tech, we make sure to grab breakfast or lunch for the fantastic chicken fried steak and green chili gravy! Don't forget the pie read more

Ribs were burnt, half the meat was more like beef jerky; covered in bbq sauce that might have had sugar or vinegar in it, but it was definitely gelatinous. Normal mac and cheese that the kiddo willingly ate and properly cooked fried okra which seems to be hard to come by in Lubbock (looking at you Cowboy Chicken (now closed) and Slim Chickens). Coconut cream pie definitely had cream on top (though not much sugar I don't think), the problem was beyond a small hint of coconut, the filling tasted, well not bitter, but tasted like filler. I dunno. Chocolate mouse pie was good. Were it not for our waitress forgetting to return my credit card or taking a while to come get it in the first place, I probably wouldn't have left this review. But my seemingly annual trek to this place reminded why I only come here annually, just long enough to forget why it's been a year since I was here last. read more

Breakfast was good, plenty of food for the money. Place was busy but food didn't take more than 10 mins to come out after ordering.

One of my favorite places to eat just wish they were open for dinner to. Green chili gravy is the best

A co-worker from the area took me here for lunch, since I've complained about being tired of eating all of the same chain restaurants Lubbock has to offer. To say I was suprised at how GOOD it was and the service - would be an understatement. I had the meatloaf special with fried green beans and Mac& cheese. We received our meal within 10 minutes of ordering and I have no complaint about how good it all was! We did get there at 11:15 am, for lunch, and beat the rush- which is what I'd suggest. From now on, I'll be taking any out-of-town visitors (work included) to the Cast Iron Grill. If this is anywhere on their agenda, they will leave Lubbock with a good taste in their mouth. A++ for the hometown diner! read more

Cast Iron Grill is pretty stellar. Everything is always so fresh, and the price is right! Most of the food items are terrific, their menu is outstanding, I really like their Pulled Pork Sliders. Awesome central location, first-class service. Well done Cast Iron Grill. read more

Chicken fried steak sandwich. Yum! Mashed potatoes with cream gravy as well hit the spot. Tasty food served by personable wait staff. What's not to love?!? read more

Fried green beans, fresh made pies, house ranch. Great staff. I loved eating here when I worked downtown. read more

LOVE this restaurant. It's family-run, and the service is wonderful. The only downfall is that it's only open for lunchtime during the week, and is closed on weekdays. When I visited, I got the pulled pork grilled cheese and onion rings. The food was amazing. They are well known for their pies, so I will definitely be back to try a slice next time! read more

Cast Iron Grill - Pulled pork grilled cheese and onion rings - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I work downtown and came here for lunch (seized the opportunity because they're closed for dinner) and I figured I would probably have to go over my hour for lunch. I went in and my party was seated really quickly, and drinks were brought within the minute. I ordered the chicken fried steak sliders with the green chili with their fries. The rumors I had heard about their chicken fried steak led me to have some pretty high expectations. Well, I have to say, I was not disappointed. The sliders were heavenly! The bread was good, the green chile gravy was good, and the gravy was good. Unbelievably good. There was 3 sliders but 1 was super filling. It was really reasonably priced too! I got back to work in time and enjoyed my food coma for a good while! read more

The best home cooking in Lubbock! Locally owned, and the staff is very friendly. I wish they would open a location on the west side of town

Absolutely fantastic! Best place for breakfast. We had the Western Omelet with homestyle potatoes and the The Big Hearty with side of their ranchero sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly, eggs were moist not dry, same with the potatoes. Service was fast and food was fast. Will definitely be back! read more

This is my first time in Lubbock, Texas. Dropped by this place feeling a bit jetlagged hoping to get some decent food. What I ended up getting was the best chicken fried steak, and fried okra ever!! They have this Green Chili Gravy that is straight from Heaven!! I'm going to have to go back to California and try some recipes out to copy this stuff so I can get my fix of it in my own kitchen. Besides the delicious southern home cooked feel and food, the service was exceptional. Our waitress was Mariah, and my tea glass was never empty. This place is southern cooking at its best! I'm making sure this is on my itinerary for all my trips to Lubbock. Go here, you won't be sorry. read more

We meet here weekly and Alyson (please forgive me if I misspelled that) is an excellent waitress. Very attentive staff and food is always good and quick. Cast Iron Burrito is my go to. read more

Ok food. Good atmosphere. You really just go to see the waittresses. Their food truck menu and food is awesome, though.

This place is one of the best places to eat anywhere on God's green earth. The lunch specials are the best and the beautiful women that serve you are outstanding read more

I came here last week for a goodbye breakfast with some friends. I ordered the pork chop with hash brown, eggs, and a pancake. I'm sad to say, I wasn't overwhelmed. The pork chop was pretty average. Eggs and hash were just fine. The pancake was pretty good, but they only serve plain buttermilk pancakes so if youre looking for chocolate chip or strawberry, look else where. My friend ordered a chicken fried steak and it was pretty good! We also had a slice of chocolate pie. I wasn't overly impressed what that either. Half of the pie was whipped cream. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either. The service was friendly and attentive. Prices are good. I'll probably come back and try dinner but I'll pass on breakfast in the future. read more

Love, love, love the homemade cooking! Great food, big portions, and friendly service! Excellent pie and cake for dessert!

I've had my eye on trying this place for months but always thought about it on a Monday when they are closed (dang it!). As luck would have it, my work brought me over to this area on Tuesday and it was the opportune time to check it out. So glad I did! I tried the marinated chicken breast, seasoned green beans, mac n cheese, and a slice of coconut cream pie. The marinated chicken breast was delicious with lots of flavor, no dryness to it at all. The mac n cheese was tasty, and the green beans were really good. The roll they add in was just okay for me. That pie, though... that pie was AWESOME. Definitely grab your slice of pie the minute you walk in or it will be gone later. Love this little gem in Lubbock and will definitely be back very soon! read more

Sometimes what you read on a menu is not what you get in reality. I ate lunch there on September 28, 2020 and ordered "Green Chili Stew". Their idea of green chili is actually bell peppers. A stew is to be thick not watery. It would also be nice to have more than two pieces of meat in your bowl. At least the cornbread was good. On another issue, it was strange to see multiple Christian displays on the walls yet see very skimpy tops on their female waitresses. I guess what is stated is not always what is reality. read more

First time was an amazing experience they have delicious deserts and the menu was just on point both qualities and portion sizes were amazing read more

Had the egg and sausage biscuit and it was great. Buttery biscuit and over medium cooked egg. Very attentive service.

Great food and great service! This is the best home cooked meal I've had in a long time! I ordered the chicken fried chicken with green beans and mac and cheese....delicious. I topped it off with warm, homemade peach cobbler with ice cream on top. I enjoyed every bite! Great place for lunch!!! read more

Cast Iron Grill - Chicken Fried Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Today was my 4th visit and the experience was consistent with past visits: Great food, good service and fair prices. I had chicken strips with mac and cheese and fries. My wife had pulled pork sliders, my sons had chicken strips, chicken-fried steak and a club sandwich and my daughter-in-law, chicken-fried chicken. Everyone's food was fresh, hot and flavorful. As with previous visits, the restaurant was very busy but service was good. Most entrées are $7-$8. No desserts for us today but they are delicious! My only complaint with CIG continues to be that they are not open for supper or on the weekends. read more

The Cast Iron Grill is a true Lubbock treasure!! It is all home cooking and delicious! My wife and I stopped in for the first time and we knew we were in a treat as the café was full. In addition to the café being full, my wife and I viewed the yummy deserts on display - Talk about excellent looking deserts! The portions were huge! I had two pork chops, one grilled (better in my opinion) and one fried. The sides were their signature fried green beans with their ranch sauce (YUMMY!!) and fried okra. My wife had a huge chicken fried steak with regular green beans and sautéed brussels sprouts. Each meal came with a cheese roll that was out of this world. We had their daily special of cherry banana split pie. I wish I took a picture of it but it didn't last long enough to snap a picture of. I recommend this establishment to anyone who loves food! read more
