Came to the Midnight Shift with a friend visiting Lubbock, and the food and service were great. I ordered the prosciutto arugula pizza which was delicious and had the crème brûlée for dessert. There are three options for dessert, but unfortunately they only had two available which was cheesecake and crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was alright, not my favorite. Price is moderate and had plenty of parking. Never stayed at the Cotton Court Hotel before, but the view of the hotel from the restaurant looked very nice. read more

One thing I tell you is that check the prices check the prices especially your side dishes that seven does not mean the seventh item on the menu it means seven dollars for a side order of whatever it is read more

I ate here for breakfast. It's a neat space with mediocre, slightly overpriced food. The avocado toast plate is better than the French toast. Service was friendly, but slow. If you're staying at the Cotton Court, there is a meal voucher, but the system is kind of weird and the voucher won't fully cover your meal. You might want to explore eating breakfast somewhere else. That said, we went there for live music and a lot of people ordered drinks and appetizers to enjoy on the patio while they listened to music. They looked good, and if you're listening to music, the long wait times won't be such a big deal. read more

Great food and service! The food is great ive gone here a couple times and nothing beats their pizza, their drinks are also amazing! This place is quite pricey for a bar around $22 for just the pizza and $14 per drink, but if you have the money and are looking for new places to try I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This place gets better and better! We came here to celebrate a 4 year old birthday, we found easy parking and it was not crowded on a Monday night. The staff was super courteous, and the food was delicious. At the table we had kids grilled cheese, the midnight Texas burger, fried broccoli (astonishingly good), crispy brussels sprouts, wings, and a chicken sandwich. Everyone raved about the food. The prices are high, so come prepared for that and enjoy. read more

Located in the Cottonwood Court hotel, this is a tasty place for food and drinks. It has indoor and outdoor space and live music on certain days. The food portions are large so be sure to ask in advance. The service was okay when we went. I'm pretty sure we had a new waiter who was overwhelmed with many tables during dinner . It didn't bother us since we weren't in a hurry. read more

Yummy very good depth of flavor, killer sauce. Nice ambiance good view outdoor and indoor.

Great new menu! Go check it out!!! Get the po'boy for lunch and the corn fritters as an appetizer

While staying at the Cotton Court we went for drinks and dessert while listening to a great band! The coffee tinis were incredible!! They were out of bread pudding so opted for crème brûlée. It was perfect. Sam was a super friendly and fast waitress! read more

Cheyenne, our server was absolutely darling. She has a heart of gold and works so hard. Truly made our night so wonderful. The kindness and service was incredible. Midnight shift offers a beautiful environment for casual, date night or anything! I don't even need to speak on the food, it speaks for itself, SO GOOD. read more

My absolute favorite is the poached egg breakfast and add roasted jalapeños. It is delicious and I look forward to eating this for breakfast every time we are here for the cotton convention. The Midnight Benny Florentine is delicious! The avocado toast is tasty too! read more

My wife and I stopped in for an afternoon drink and an app before our dinner just down the road a few blocks at the West Table. They have 6 local-ish brews on tap and I enjoyed sipping on my Hefewezien. The wife liked her white sangria. The kitchen doesn't open til 5pm, so food choices were limited to Chicharrones or chips with queso. Chips and queso were ok, queso could have been served hotter. Good service from the bartender. read more

Came here once and fell in love with the Midnight Shift Burger. It was SO AMAZING, and during my work trip, I ate it nearly every night. (shamefully) Came back on business again, and it wasn't the same!! I'm not sure what they changed about it, but it definitely did not have the same punch as I remembered it. I switched over to their Hot Honey pizza, and now THAT was delicious! I was surprised at how much I liked it. Order it! The staff at night is super friendly. During the morning though... they need help. There is not enough staff to carry the breakfast shift. Food during breakfast is okay. read more

Went for dinner and a drink outside- ambiance is great! (No mosquitos) The food was delicious. Our table of 3 ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. This was definitely the best burger I have ever eaten. For dessert we had a Sundae in a Mason Jar. The wait staff was awesome. Can't wait to go again tonight and try the salmon! read more

Chef Kate continues to deliver - as she did at Lubbock's Home Cafe and Gastropub. Creative dishes and professional servers. Worth a try! read more

So.... this review is based on drinks and dessert. The drinks are "okay." We had the Chilton, Chilton Plus, and a Horned Toad. None were great. We had just come from Double Nickel and had some amazing Chiltons, so maybe that hurt our pallets. We also had the Apple Skillet Cake. Our server said this was his favorite, but unfortunately it tasted like a boxed mix, with some fresh apple thrown in, topped with blue bell ice cream. The environment of the place is awesome, but the food and drinks are subpar. read more

Wow...what a big waste of time. Wanted to buy a gift certificate based on a review from a friend that lives in Lubbock. Nice facade when you drive up to the "front" but the entrance is not clearly marked. The door closest to Broadway which should be an entrance based on parking is locked, marked "Exir". Sent around the building to enter through the hotel courtyard to inquire about a gift card. Bartender seemed put out that I came in and said that they don't sell, should go to the hotel office/desk. So, left the restaurant, walked up to the door closest to the restaurant and it was locked. Walked back around to the Broadway side, entered and asked about a gift certificate. Gentleman at the desk said "nope, online only". So while not hard to get around Lubbock, BIG waste of time. What do folks do that don't have online access. Won't be getting a GC here. DO BETTER! read more

OK, so I usually write my thoughts while I am in the restaurant.... not tonight!!!! The hospitality fri people O don't know took the direction in a different path. This is a incredible place for everyone. Smile at the door from from Avery to the two top BARTENDERS in Lubbock TX . Morgan and Amber. They serve more the cocktails.... They serve KINDNESS. Food was fantastic.... try the Salmon or Tomahawk.... Sean the bar manager delivers a true TEXAS CARING experience... try it ........ seriously try it. Mr Chef great job even i didn't get your name. read more

Great atmosphere! Quality food! Friendly staff! A great experience. Highly recommend coming here. I must say I've never been impressed with chicken tenders, but these were huge and fried to perfection. We also got the bacon cheeseburger which you can't go wrong with. The queso was thick and creamy. read more

My friends and I came here to grab a drink to celebrate her graduating from college. The bartender not only took advantage of us but was very rude to us. When we walked in, we were told that last call was in 10 minutes which we didn't care about. After we ordered our drinks and received the bill, she charged us double just because we were the youngest in the bar. We were shocked that it costs $45 for 3 small drinks. Your better off going to Chimy's where they have better drinks & better service. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

We ended up here by accident after a very long day traveling to Lubbock. Very limited bar type food menu . The cheeseburger and fries were good and so was the service. read more

Lively bar, live music, great service from Connor! We got three entrees--pork chop, flank steak with chimichurri sauce and double cheeseburger. Everything was fresh, well seasoned and presented beautifully. I had the pork and was very pleased with it--meat temperature was perfect (it can be easy to overcook pork). Great upscale, but not fussy, dinner spot in LBK. read more

I love midnight shift , I love the servers and every time I come in I leave in a good mood. 10/10 recommend the chicken sandwich.

We went here last Friday night and were pleasantly surprised by how great it was. Sitting on the patio was perfect vibes. There was a live band that was SO GOOD; solid range of covers and multiple vocalists to cover the spectrum. For food we had the charcuterie board and the wings. The charcuterie board looks kind of disappointing when it comes out. The portions seem small and it looks fairly basic. But the quality was the game changer. Everything was so fresh; pro tip: whatever herb garnish you get, strip the fresh herbs off the stem and into the honey, pairs great with the brie. The wings were legit some of the best I've had recently. They weren't tiny and tough like most places have right now. All the wings were big and perfectly cooked. The cilantro ranch complimented the glaze so well. For cocktails we had an Aperol Spritz, the French 75, and a Watermelon Booty. All of them were great, zero complaints. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is honestly a gem of Lubbock. The vibes are immaculate. There was live classic rock by a really great band with Mark, Darren, Brian and Mark. (Management bring them back again and again). Kitchen closes at 10 and it's busy so be here by like 9:15. Lots of local beers on draft too. Props to the chefs-the Brown Butter Cauliflower is deceptively simple on the menu. It was gone between the two of us in a minute. SO GOOD. literally one of the best things Bacon cheeseburger and pork fried rice are so yummy. Did not survive dinner to become leftovers. We also got the Brussels sprouts. One of the best ways to prepare them for picky eaters. Really wish that we got dessert but we were so full! Will definitely be back. read more

Trendy and fun vibes. The food was good. The price was super high and the menu was limited.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is amazing and the vibe is on point! It's a little pricey but totally worth it. Easily one of the coolest places in Lubbock read more

Midnight Shift is on the Cotton Court hotel property and you can access it from the courtyard. It's got a great vibe. They have put a lot of thought into the food and drinks menu, each dish or drink seems to have a special touch.The food is quality and the servings are hearty. The salmon was fresh and the cut was thick like a steak and cooked perfectly - for me, medium rare. My husband tried the fried short ribs - they were rich and flavorful. If you're a fan of Brussels sprouts, you should try their unique take on this dish as a starter or side dish. The mixologist has been doing his trade for 30 years and created a custom cocktail menu. This is no ordinary cocktail experience. All of his juices and Irish cream, etc are house made. My husband says the martinis are consistently the smoothest ones in town, but I encourage you to stray from your "go to" drink to explore the cocktail menu and beer options. The bartenders are friendly and the service was excellent. They've been open several weeks and this was our second visit. We expected some challenges in their processes as they worked some things out opening weekend, but they knocked it out of the park both times. If you have visitors in town or just want a date night or to have drinks and break bread with friends, dress up, dress down, this is a great place to go for a unique west Texas experience. The Cotton Court hotel is also a great place to stay. But even if you don't book a room, the outdoor courtyard and live music on weekends is worth checking out. read more

First thing, the tables and seats need to be cleaned/wiped down much better. Came 1:30pm on Christmas Eve. Mimosa and Roberts porter beer, excellent! Ordered Fish tacos and Smoked chicken tacos. They hen stated Fish was out, so Robert ordered pork tacos. He didn't comment but he seemed a little disappointed. My smoked chicken had Amazing flavor. Three small tacos each, it wasn't really enough. That's all I really have to complain about. Service was good. They just need to clean and add to the taco plates. We will be back. The chicken tenders and hamburgers looked huge but were $14 plates. read more

They're getting a star for the ambiance, and entertainment. The food was garbage. I realize this is Wet Texas, but don't put poutine on menu if you don't have cheese curds. Don't substitute a cut up piece of mozzarella string cheese. If you have kids, you'll know that texture anywhere. A hot piece of rotisserie roasted chicken does not pair well with Caesar salad especially when the dressing has been on the salad so long it has made the croutons chewy. My water was never refilled. When I was offered something else to eat, I opted to go home and eat leftovers. read more

Service was great. Espresso martini was not good at all. Brussel sprouts appetizer was extremely salty. The burger was pretty good and the hot honey sausage pizza was okay. Live music was fun! Just not at all worth the price. The old menu was much better. read more

Been 4 times and all 4 times I have been unhappy! Service has always been a big problem and I see no improvements. I only go when certain friends are playing music and no other time, cause I don't want to spend an evening mad. read more

Sat down inside just a little before the kitchen closed. We were told by 3 different staff that the kitchen would be closing, but the bar would still be open. We ordered our drinks which were delivered (btw- an old fashioned should have one large solid ice cube as regular ice melts and waters down the drink. Additionally, don't put that cherry below the ice, we want access). The biggest disappointment was the staff member (not our waitress) that took our drink menu and told us that we would have to get further drinks from the bar (the one with 3 dozen cowboys blocking it). Our waitress told us that it was not true and that she had notified the manager, but our experience was already ruined. We opted to spend further money elsewhere. read more

It was our first time to visit the Midnight Shift. We were looking forward to a great evening of live music, but when we arrived we couldn't be seated. That's ok. We we're seated after a short wait at a great table but needed an extra chair. The wait staff said, "no problem!" It turned into a problem when we finally added a chair on our own, only to have the wait staff come tell me he needed that chair at another table. We ended up getting a chair from the patio on our own for our additional guest. Got a few side eyed glances from the staff... none of these things are a big deal, but all together were annoyances. Maybe re training staff in great customer service would help. Fortunately, the band was really good so we will return again if they book the Ninja Cowboys again! read more

Connor was great! The french fries, the wings, the street corn! Oh my! The burgers, the salmon delicious!! Run din't walk! Delish!

Nothing to write home about. With such a small selection you would think they could do better. Very pricey for what you get.
