    Burger
    Dylan S.

    The food was really good! I got the Bubbagood burger and it was juicy, cooked great, and had lots of flavor! The service was fast and everything came out on time and was warm. The ambience was very nice and nostalgic. A lot of the inside has vintage tech signs.

    Christakis Let's talk. Absolute disgrace. Disgusting service. Rude. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE was given I ASKED FOR TWO GYROS dinner included salad and fries - on a styrofoam plate I asked can I have a extra sauce And if I can get a little extra meat I handed my card and the receipt said $65! When I asked wait what in the world I was given my 2 pounds of meat she decided to heat up and charge me for and was told It is what it is. My husband was laughed at when he said hey no this surely isn't ok we don't want that for that price at all. She turned and spoke about him in Spanish and made fun of him thinking we don't understand. When we asked for a manager or owner or someone to speak to we were told the lady present was management and she refused to do anything for us. She said she would not offer any assistance and that's just that. And just stood smiling with sarcasm. If your charging a price like that Maybe say hey I'm going to charge you $45 for pounds of meat and $8 for an extra ounce of sauce - and when someone expresses frustration and unfair treatment YOUR IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY! Do SOMETHING. Absolutely disgusting to treat someone that way and laugh and refuse to resolve anything. I will NEVER RETURN. I should have known when I stepped in and asked about ordering and the lady rushed me and said well what do you want we're busy. *picture of the $65 meal. For a business with scripture plastered everywhere they sure did not do well to reflect what is painted on menus and walls.

    Another one checked off the Bucket List. All in all it was an overall decent meal. Ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries. Order was ready promptly and came as ordered. Bonus points for the thick slices of onion on the burger. Patty was thin and bun was large. Would prefer to pay more money for a thicker patty. Fries were too thick for my taste and a tad overdone anyway. Location was clean, food was as ordered, however I would not go out of my way to repeat.

    Christakis burger (has pastrami), Philly steak was seasoned well and prepared fresh, onion rings and fries.

    You won't be disappointed... American favorites with a Mediterranean flare! Constantly busy and very tasty food. Locally owned and operated. Staff are kind and laid back and genuinely ask "how did it taste?". If in Lubbock make plans to stop in for lunch.

    Double burger bacon etc...

    My mom and I were in Lubbock and couldn't resist checking out Wrecked Burgers and Brews--the name…read morealone pulled us in! And wow, we're so glad it did. Everything about this place was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing. The burgers were cooked perfectly, the fries were delicious, and they have a great selection of beers to go with it. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Our waiter, Drew, went above and beyond. He took the time to walk us through the menu, answered all our questions, and kept bringing extra sauces, jalapeños, and anything else we might want without us even having to ask. Another young man named Zo stopped by our table twice just to check in and make sure everything was perfect and to see if there was anything he could do to make our visit even better. That kind of attention and genuine hospitality really made an impression. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. My mom and I might be a little older than some of the crowd, but we felt completely comfortable and right at home. Great food, great vibe, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Lubbock!

    I just think this place is a disaster. This has nothing to do with the niceness of the staff…read more(bartender). He is attentive. But I sat down. (It's late June). And flies are buzzing around everywhere. I order and while ordering I say, "Hey what can be done about these flies to keep them away from me and off my food when it arrives". The answer, "that's because it's summer and we leave our door open, we have a salt gun but we can't use it when customers are here." "So... what is done to keep flies under control and away from my food?" I look around and see no deterrents hanging or placed, nothing. I just received a phone emoji worthy white man shrugging face. This place doesn't even have a fly swatter or flip flop from an angry Mom. The Sweet and Spicy burger arrives. It was good enough. Just so that you know FIFA WC soccer was on. Ivory Coast was up on Curaçao 2-0 and Germany was tied up with Ecuador 1-1 in a close and better elimination game. The audio for the bar was for the CIV v CUW. I was interested in the Germany v Ecuador game so I asked, "can we get the audio to the GvE game?" "No, those two ladies (only two other patrons in the bar) are watching the game being played/heard.". "No problem", I say. Meanwhile the women are talking super fast and weren't even taking breathes enough to hear the broadcast nor looking at the TVs. In my head I thought, man I don't write reviews often but this would be an epic one star. But decided chill out, and not. I finish my burger and beer and about with :15 mins left in the match the bartender changes the audio (to GvE) which is met with applause by the women, and an inner smile by me. Ecuador scores almost instantly as they pound on the table and stand on their stools, as if they were on Bourbon Street and things could get very interesting. Hmmm, I think to myself. These damn women are Ecuadorian. So what's with thinking they were Curaçaoian? Or am I to believe they didn't give two about looking at the Curaçao game and suddenly became super fans when the Ecuador game was turned on audio. Honestly. Did he miss the mark that much? Sure did. Anywho, the check arrives at the burger menu priced at $13 comes up as $13.83 and the pints are also like $9.odd amount like $9.81 or something. The total is $33.blah blah. I hand over my card but ask, "what's with the strange pricing? The menu says $8 for each item." "Oh let me check...oh yeah it because the menu lists cash prices and so if you pay cash, you get that price, if not you pay this price." WTH!!! Maybe that's listed on the menu. But a 10% service charge on beer to cover a what 3-4% Visa fee. Man, please be overcharging to buy some fly swatters or hanging stank away bags. So yeah, 1-star. Just skip this place and go sit on a Port-a-potty instead.

    11June2026 I have been married to a Lubbock Native for 27…read moreyears now, and for all of this time, I have been hearing about Spanky's, just across from Texas Tech University. She has been hyping up this joint forever and during this trip to her hometown, we ended up there on our first night we were in town. On the outside, it looks like the typical university food joint that could be at any university town across America. It was small with a few tables and booths and had stuff across the walls that yelled TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS so loud that it could be seen from the ISS. Apparently, the owner is a big fan and possibly an Alumna of TTU. We ordered the hand dipped mushrooms and onion rings to go along with our burgers. Little did I know what an experience the two appetizers would be. Lets just say that I have NEVER has such wonderful shrooms and rings ... ever. Thats saying something. The mushrooms are not the typical soft, mushy ones that many places serve out of the Sysco bags ... no, these were easily identifiable as button mushrooms even through the crispiness of the batter. Firm, sliceable and easily skewered by a fork to be dipped in ranch sauce. In short ... they were lip-smackin good. The onion rings, dipped in the same batter, cooked in the same oil and served at the same temperature were just as delectable. They were thick sliced sweet yellows that held their toothiness throughout the frying process. Just the bite into it was yummy, sweet and crispy ... all at the same time. These reminded me of the onion rings I used to get at Tookies down in Seabrook, Tx during the 70's and 80's. For my main, I chose the "Hotter than Hell Burger" with crinkle fries. I like hot and spicy and expected it to actually be hotter than it was. The sliced jalapeño and habanero spread were present and did the job of letting my taste buds know they were doing their job. It just wasn't the knockout I was expecting from a burger place serving university students that would eat really spicy stuff on a dare. Don't get me wrong, that burger was really good, just as my Wife said it would be. That statement is truth, not hype, but hotter than hell, naah. More like hotter than heck. My biggest disappointment was the limited selection of good beer. Light beer, cheap lagers and Mexican standards. Would it hurt to put in an IPA or a Stout? Overall, the staff were wonderful and answered any of the myriad of questions I had about their fare. It was an actual experience for me, especially after all of the hype my Wife told me over the decades. Usually, after a big span of time, places from our youth let us down. Spanky's is NOT a place like that. I will be sure to make it there on the next trip to Lubbock ... even if my Wife isn't with me. Ciao, Darrell

    The online menu is out of date. The margaritas was insanely bitter…read more The burger was pretty good This is a classically overrated college haunt. Its ok. Nothing special about it though. Don't go out of your way for it
