Just to be clear, this review does not reflect on the Cotton Court but just the Midnight Shift. I love staying at the cotton Court when I'm in town but the bar/restaurant is just terrible. There is always something wrong when I go in there. I stopped ordering food in there because the 1st time it was the shrimp appetizer that gave me food poisoning. The 2nd time I watched as the bartender poured TX whiskey instead of Woodford, likely because they were running low on woodford, and then argued about what I saw them do. I don't know if they thought I was drunk and thought they could pull one over on me but I wound up walking away only paying enough cash to cover my first drink. Tonight I asked if I could eat my food as long as I ordered my booze from them and was told it wouldn't be a problem. But once I sat down I ordered a bourbon and while I was waiting I was told I couldn't eat in there. So once again I had to walk out with out a drink. It just seems like there's no leadership, there hasn't been focused customer service training, and I'm just not sure the food handling practices are up to par. read more

I have only been to the bar and shared nachos with a friend and they were fantastic! The bartender, Becca, was great! She makes a great drink and was really nice! I want to go back for dinner!! read more

I've eaten here three times this week. The Old Fashioned is one of the best I've ever had. The pork ribs and the short rib were both absolutely delicious and I look forward to trying these again. The first night, I had the shishito peppers, which were not my favorite, but in speaking with the chef on the third night, I advised that I did not like them on the first night. He came out with a fresh batch, which I tried, and they were quite good! The service has been excellent, even when they have been quite busy. Both the interior and outdoor settings are a nice treat after a long work day, and the live music last night was an additional treat. read more

Drinks were expensive, but very good. Charged them to our room and the bill was WAY more than it should have been for our 4 drinks. Still have not been able to get anyone to send us an itemized receipt from the hotel or bar. read more

This is a must try place if you come to Lubbock to visit or you live here or come for college. Its a super cute restaurant with a bar and an outside eating area. Its located within a hotel, so there isnt much parking but its a good place to visit. The food is really good and averaged price, the place is pretty crowded on Fridays or Saturdays and they had a live band outside the restaurant. The waiters were kind of slow and not as attentive as I would have liked them too, but they did the best they could. read more

Solid selection of signature cocktails, with a fair amount of beer on tap as well. If you're looking for filling pub food, this will do. It's located in a beautiful courtyard attached to a hotel, and at night it was a very relaxing appeal. read more

Gosh such a cool place connected to the cotton court hotel BUT this was our second time and it's pretty underwhelming. I know these are hard time and I will come back and give them another chance but I think the menu needs a re-vamp! The drinks were good! I got pork tacos this time they were pretty bad. Also they come with no sides so that kind of sucks it would be nice to have a side of rice or something. Hoping it gets better!!! read more

In love with this dining option! Find it next to The Cotton Court Hotel. The Go To for cocktails and outdoor dining - indoor available as well. Another great option if you need some gluten free options- be considerate and ask if Chef has recommendations to accommodate you- a re-create of pork fried rice without the soy sauce and offered rice crackers on the Charcuterie. So thankful for end of travel day kindness!! read more

Our new favorite spot in town for cocktails and appetizers! Have loved their selection of live music acts. This place will be on repeat for us!! read more

Last evening February 4, was the first time that I went to this establishment. We had drinks before we attended an annual event. Drinks were affordable and the establishment was clean and busy. read more

Midnight shift was a great date night place. The atmosphere was really really cool. The main entree was a little pricey for what it was but the drinks tasted amazing. Overall, we had a great time and will come back! read more

Drinks good. Chili bad. Salad good. Beer selection weak. Atmosphere decent. Neighborhood downtown. Service average.

Tried to go enjoy a drink here, but could not get served after waiting 20 minutes. When we asked if we could get a menu, the waitress snapped at us. Bless their little hearts. read more

Great atmosphere! Food was SO good with the exception of the braised short ribs. Did NOT enjoy that at all! But the sweet and sour ribs and the wings were amazing!!! Staff was great. Drinks were great. Music was good but it was hard to hear the singer over the guitar. That might be due to that particular band's equipment. Not sure. But great experience overall. read more

Have been a couple of times and have enjoyed ourselves each time. Bands have always been good. Food is a little better than average so a little pricey for the quality. Staff has always been super friendly. More events to come. read more

I really enjoy the live music, and the dinner is good. However, the food and service at their breakfast buffet is really bad. They should really upgrade their selection of food, as they are associated with one of the best hotels in Lubbock (Cotton Court) read more

Amazing food and flavor. Kitchen was on point and very prompt with service at the bar and getting food out to me. Sat at the bar and had a few drinks and dinner. Will be back soon read more

First time there. Great food. Great music. Good drinks. The service was below average. The server was not around. Saw him 3 times during our visit. He was bot very attentive but when he did provide customer service it was good. read more

I'm shocked this place has such good reviews so far. The first time I went here was opening night. The food was amazing but we waited over an hour to get it. And my friend waited 2 hours for her salmon. We gave it a pass since it was their opening night and decided to give it another try. After waiting 40 minutes to be seated we again waited over an hour to get our food. We asked the waiter when she thought our food would arrive and she apologized explaining that some of our food was ready but they were waiting on a couple dishes. Because of this my friend's wings were served lukewarm and the meat was very fatty and not good at all. 2 of us asked to split a salad along with our main course and that came out after the other food was served, over an hour and a half after they had seated us. We were not impressed. I even asked the waiter to take the salad off our bill because it was nothing special and we could not believe how long it took to come out. The waiter was kind and took it off our bill. Overall this place has so much potential and we really enjoyed our drinks. But we were astounded at how long everything took to come out. The service was so bad I can't give them any more stars. Don't come to the midnight shift hungry and you might have a better experience than we did. read more

Took way too long for the food to arrive. Over an hour for 4 people. Thought the reason why it was brand new, asked and said it was over a year. No excuse read more

Great place for date night and people watching! Wife and I have been there twice in the last few months and was great both times. One of the more eclectic menus in Lubbock so we had to try it. Good cocktails and great atmosphere to hang out in the courtyard (you can get a to-go cocktail) afterword. read more
