my little family was heading home after a vacation, we had an 11 hour drive and stopped here for dinner before finishing the 3 hours home. The staff was very kind and helpful, the restaurant was clean, great service, the food came out quick even with the dinner rush, and the food tasted great! my kiddos ages 5 and 7 enjoyed it, as did my fiancé and myself! Highly recommend! read more

Everytime im in town this is the spot for one of the best burgers anyone will ever have. We need these all over the country read more

Christakis - Mmmm - Burgers Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

In my opinion this place has the best traditional burger in town! I also recommend anything fried like their cheese tots or onion rings.

Drove to see Buddy Holly museum and was looking for something nearby. Found this burger place and yet it may look a bit run dwn.. Food was delicious. Had the #1 regular burger and fries w/ drink $6. If i ever come back again I'll definitely come back here again. read more

I love Christakis, its not new to me but I'm new to Yelp. Been eating here for years. Best Hamburger in town. Don't mess with anything but the burgers. The other food I've tried is OK, but if you have the chance to eat a Christakis Burger anything else is a let down. Small Mom and Pop restaurant the looks like a drive in from Happy Days. Even though it is and older establishment it is super clean. The restrooms are the nicest you will ever find in a hamburger joint.. Can't say enough good about this place. Makes me hungry thinking about it. read more

Best Gyro's in town! Good atmosphere and really kind staff. Will definitely return soon!

These are the best burgers we have had in a very long time! The fries are amazing! Can't wait until we have them again! We had the JoJo, the Bubba Good, and the corn dog and hot dog from the kids menu. read more

Everything was very good especially the Christakis Burger with Pastrami and Cheese added on it! Great service, we were very happy to find on our trip from Colorado to find this great spot! read more

Food was amazing. Taste like an authentic burger joint couldn't ask for anything better.

Don't have words. How is a place like this still in business. Attached photos which will do the talking. read more

Good old Fashioned Hamburger, but--- when I asked if it was normal for it to be 87 degrees in the dining room, she said no- usually it is hotter! What? Booths were so small you couldn't bend over enough to keep the juicy burger from spilling on you. Might be a better place to get something to go. read more

This place is a bit out of the way for me, but I would definitely go back if I were in the area. Great burgers and nice family atmosphere. I would recommend this place to people on the hunt for a great burger. read more

Now THAT was a burger! First time customer, and they have me sold for life. That was the best burger for its price I have ever had. I got the Christaki burger and my wife got the Jojo burger. Both of us were very impressed. Not the nicest area of town but the restaurant is very nice and clean and the workers were exemplary. The burgers were very juicy and tasted fresh. They really weren't afraid to pile on the veggies. Plus, my wife was in love with their ice the whole time. I wish I could press rewind on my life and relive the past hour. read more

We ordered 3 burgers, it took over an hour to get out effing food. Bunch of rude old ladies.

Decide to stop in for dinner since it was close to my hotel. Was not disappointed. Got a bubba good burger and it was awesome. The french fries are probably the best I have ever had in my life. read more

Great burgers. Great fries. Great atmosphere. Would have liked it if I could have had some bbq or steak sauce for my burger. Definitely lived up to its reputation. read more

Ohhhh my godddd... the best cheap burger in lubbock!! Maybe even the best burger in lubbock? The fries are nothing special, the tater tots are pretty good, but honestly the burger makes up for it all. I got the Jojo burger and I've been thinking about it for a week. The only thing I regret is not making it a double!!! read more

We've lived in Lubbock for 4.5 years now and had heard whispers about a really good "burger joint" in the downtown area. I was recently checking out Yelp's reviews for hamburgers in LBK, as I'm somewhat of a burger fanatic. When I saw the 4.5 stars for this place, I remembered the name. Was in the area today so I stopped to try it out. It was certainly good - cheeseburger w/ tots - but not great. Grilled bun, just the right amount of grease and nice, crispy tots....lots to like. Glad I got to try it...would definitely come back when I'm in this part of town. Need to see if there is a "sleeper" on their menu (CFS, steak sandwich, etc.) read more

I can say it was disappointing, after reading the reviews I decided to try it. I ordered a single burger combo meal at 11:30am and it's now noon and still no food. The reason for the low stars is because while I'm waiting for my food, I can see the lady that is cooking the burgers flipping buns and stacking the meat and bread on the veggies with no gloves on. She is wiping her forehead as she is in front of the flat top and then touching the food bare handed. How sad that this is the impression I'm leaving with. Left without the food or asking for the money back. The lady grabbed raw burgers and laid them on the flat top with no gloves. read more

Absolutely the best gyro I've ever had. I'm from out of state and searched restaurants using Yelp. This was a very good find!

Just about the best burger in town. Ol' time burger joint feel. Gotta try the pastrami burger and fir the hungry they got the "Bubba Good".

I tried the special of the day in the middle of the after noon; hamburger, fries, and soft drink for about $6.50. It was great. Hot bun, plenty of fresh lettuce and tomato, big fries and lots of them. I sat inside, it was a clean, cool and friendly spot to relax in. John 3:16 is posted behind the order station. I don't know what the name of the place means but it has Christ in it. read more

As of late across this great land of the USA there has been an explosion of gourmet, haute cuisine burger restaurants, where one can fulfill their long-held fancies of getting a portabella mushroom burger adorned with mango slices, dill infused aioli, and a wheat bun with a donut hole in the middle filled with raspberry ganache. All satire aside, sometimes all one wants is a pure beef burger cooked on an open grill that is no more than 20% lean covered with cheese, pickles, onions, and mustard and served in buttered white bun and a copious complement of handcut fries. This is precisely what Christakis delivers, and it does so within the confines of a diner feel within a stone's throw of I-27, the type of setting one should expect of such a place. Christakis is one of my favorite burgers in town and carries on the bygone traditions (as far as I am concerned at least) of what used to be great burger joints Pete's and George's. Christakis delivers something unique in Lubbock - the timeless American burger experience in a setting appropriate for the occasion. As an aside, while I have only ever tried and enjoyed the burgers, I am intentional on eventually taking advantage of a menu that includes a pastrami and ham sandwich as well as a few Greek selections such as gyros. As the name belies, the restaurant proprietors are in fact a Greek family, so it seems worth giving the Greek food a shot. read more

I stopped in after reading the other reviews. I was not disappointed. I ordered the pastrami burger and a frito pie. I was greeted by a very affable Greek women who took my order. My food was fresh and served fast. The frito was excellent and the pastrami burger was great as well. Will go back and for Lubbock it is best burger here. read more

Great food, very helpful and nice staff, clean establishment. Whole family;y enjoyed all that we ordered with no complaints to included burgers and gyro. read more

Very good cheeseburger but beware the order of fries are enough for four. It was a great experience reminiscent of my hometown burgers.

The best burger I've had in Lubbock in a while. The buns were toasted so they were crispy, and the fries were amazing! I have recommended this restaurant to many of my friends already and I am looking forward to my next stop to try their gyro sandwich. The restaurant is small and It looks like an older building, but the inside is nice and is kept very clean. read more

What an awesome Gyro dinner! Great flavors, high quality meat, big Texas size portions and fast service! All this and a great price too!

Wow...I am in town for business(2nd time in Lubbock) and after some yelp searching, I found this place. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot, I was impressed! After reading the reviews I chose the pastrami burger and I loved every bite. I wish I could find more of these during my travels! read more

One of my more favorite hamburger places! Husband loves it too. We have been all over this town in the year we have been here. My husband likes to try and find the best burger in each town we live in. I actually found this one and got his approval over all the big name chains none of them beat this place! read more

a lubbock gem. quick and fast service. delicious food. excellent price. wow. gotta go here.

Great cheese burger and good chili cheese fries. Not your place if you're on a diet but run there if it's your cheat day.

Small place not a lot of room to sit, but amazing food, and big portions. Staff is lacking in the customer service and friendly department.

We stopped here when we were passing through Lubbock. We ordered a bacon cheese burger and the Tech Burger. They were delicious. The bacon was crispy, toasted buns, homemade patty, a little heavy on the mustard, but otherwise excellent food! Also, we got our food in 10-15 minutes! read more

Small but good. Got my food within 10 minutes during lunch rush. I ordered a special with cheese, came with fries and drink. Receipt was texted to me, less paper to loose . Lady who took my order was friendly. They have to-go and drive thru. It was clean. read more

Best old fashion burger in town! We had the Bubba Good and the Red Raider, huge burgers by the way. We loved the environment very clean, food was delish and the employees were nice. read more

This place has a delicious burger that is really big. If the review was on the burger alone, this would be a 5 star rating. However, i branched out and tried a fish sandwich with fries and the fish was just a frozen boxed fish patty thrown on their hamburger bun. Was not at all enjoyable. But if you are just wanting a burger I would recommend Christakis. read more

No frills, fried food. It was the only place open on our road trip- it has that going for them.

Burgers are pretty good the meat lacks flavour seems preformed and frozen. But all and all everythings ok.
