Combo plate perfect portions for right price
Antionette W.

This is the best barbecue in Texas. I'm a slow eater and it takes me approximately like three minutes to finish a plate. Bring your pictures back up.

Half-pound cheeseburger meal is the best.
Kneesee P.

Locally owned family business since March 20, 2010. How have I lived in Lubbock since before this place opened and I have not heard of it? It's a modest dive with a drive thru and inside are three booths and five 4-top tables. The owner and staff work hard to cater to their customers and the food is good! I tried the carne guisada on my first visit and it's like mi Tia makes in the kitchen. Their fresh homemade flour tortillas are amazing. My husband and I had to come back for the burgers because they looked so good the last time we were here. They did not disappoint and the fries had the perfect crisp, not soggy and not over cooked. The American food is just as good as the Mexican food. This establishment is off the beaten path and may not be look like much on the outside, but it's worth a sit down meal on the inside.

Cheeseburger with Fries
Troy P.

I'm a huge fan of hole-in-the-walls off the beaten path and I'm giving this place five stars for exactly that reason. Plus, I've determined this is my favorite chicken-fried steak in Lubbock County as it is pan-fried. And their cheeseburgers are to die for! Just look at the pic of that thing..... buns all toasted on the grill!!

HUGE fan of snooze , so happy to have one so close to home now!…read more Super busy but joined the waitlist and the associates were friendly and welcoming! Food is always delicious and filling.

Before my daughter's pulmonology appointment, I decided we needed brunch…read more What better place in Lubbock, Texas, than Snooze, an A.M. Eatery? There were tons of young parents with their babies and toddlers in here at about 1 pm. There was a baby-changing station in the large stall of the women's restroom. Because I didn't know how long they would take getting our food out, I requested our drinks in to-go cups which seemed small. The strawberry lavender lemonade was not what I originally wanted, but it was okay ($6.50). My daughter's Strawberry Shortcake Dirty Soda ($3.95) was absolutely delicious. For food, oddly we both gravitated to the "Bennys: The Art of Hollandaise." While it wasn't the best hollandaise sauce I have ever tried, it was good on the "Smashed Avocado Benny" ($16.50). My daughter ate almost all of her "Bella Bella Benny" ($15.25) which came with prosciutto she loved. Both plates were served with house hash browns that were cooked just right and not too greasy. INDOOR/OUTDOOR DINING There was a dust storm rolling through town on February 17, 2026, so we dined inside, but there *is* an outdoor patio that looked fabulous. PITFALLS They were out of the "Rejuvenate" juice I wanted. The restrooms and the dining area could have been cleaner plus our waitress, Ellie, could have remembered items a bit better - hence the star knocked off. TIPS + free parking in a plaza lot + close to Texas Tech University + a shortlist of cocktails was available RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4.5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4| Price: 4

Nostalgia! This place is like walking into the past. Everyone learns and says your name. Warm…read moresmiles, corney jokes, and a bit of fun humor makes the place a little more special. Home cooking of pancakes (or a waffle), meats (bacon, sausage, ham, steak), eggs (any way you like them), biscuits (fluffy and fresh), fresh gravy, grits, oatmeal, and free flowing coffee like Niagara Falls. Coffee is the best! Never bitter or too strong. To go plates available in case you can't finish the food. To go cup of your drink for the road available as well. If you can't stay, you're hitting the road early so you need take out - well that's available too! Only a party of one for breakfast? Don't be shy, come in and sit at the horseshoe counter. This area is from the original establishment that survived the famous Lubbock Tornado of the 1970's. They're OPEN at 06:30am Wednesday through Sunday but close at 2:00pm (1400pm). No, it's not IHOP. Nothing international here. This is family type of cooking and hanging out. Parking available in the front and sides plus street parking available. The staff meet you at the door with a smile. Service is quick, fun, and pleasant. When sending your on your next endeavor Cathy greets you at the check-out service counter with a smile. Don't forget the punch card for rewards towards your discount meals. Family friendly. Collegiate discounts. Veteran friendly and discounts. Seen on TikTok, Facebook and Facebook Reels, Instagram, and Yelp! If you have questions, just ask Jeff Stotts (owner) or Andrea. We'll see you again Pancake House. Thanks for being Lubbock TX number one family business.
