    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Poached egg

    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!

    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.

    I ate before I took the pict... that should tell you something

    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.

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

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

    We've been to Snooze before, but not in Lubbock-- well, it didn't disappoint!…read more Great, attentive waitstaff and solid breakfast food

    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

    Had our football draft party…read more Great place. Cold beer and great service by Leah D. Outdoor patio seating was enclosed and nice and cool.

    On March 29, 2026 my wife and I went to your Bombshells Restaurant at 6407 6415 Spur 327 Lubbock…read moreTexas, a visually appealing spot. Got 96 tv's!!!! There being about 20-25 people there, how was our meal prepared with no culinary attention to detail? For example: my wife ordered the chicken fried steak, mash potatoes and salad. Her steak was so "bland and lukewarm" that it literally removed all sensitivity of taste from our tongues..., no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. On our drive home that's all me talked about. Mash potatoes were likewise "lukewarm and bland"..., then factor in the gravy..., exactly the same. Her plate obviously sat at the window too long or perhaps her food was simply "sitting there" waiting for us to order it. Her salad: there was nothing "green" about it, it was "all the white stalks" of the lettuce, literally 4 olives, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, 3 half slices of tomatoes with "gigantic croutons (that was interesting)". My "blackened chicken salad"..., salad was the same as my wife's; double-dang because I love salads and being type 2 diabetic and having high blood pressure this would have been the perfect meal for me. HOWEVER; the chicken was the worst ever because it was saltier-than-a-1820's-sailor..., horrible..., and drier than a camel's hump in the Sahari. I never knew that a chicken breast could be abused like that on purpose. So, how does such a nice looking place sell someone "absolutely ridiculously horrible food".

We arrived early evening so there was plenty of seating. Our server was Megan. She was excellent. We started off with the sidewinders - shrimp and cheese stuffed in a jalapeno and fried. They were tasty. We also ordered the steak tip salad and went old school with the chopped steak. All were delicious. I even enjoyed one of their home brews - Windmill Wheat. We were too stuffed for dessert, so we ordered a bread pudding to go... Oh, my deliciousness - I had the bread pudding later that night, I wish we had ordered two. Highly recommend it!!! Great place to eat, fun ambiance, good food, and if you're lucky, you'll get Megan as your server. We'll definitely be back!

Regular ranch and chipotle ranch were ok. I definitely prefer the green chile sticks and ranch at Blue Sky. I also ordered the chicken pot pie with creamed spinach and 4 cheese Mac-n-cheese. I was served mashed potatoes instead of the Mac-n-cheese, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The waiter got me a side of the Mac-n-cheese, but it was horrible. The cheese had a weird texture almost grainy and did not have a good flavor. The creamed spinach was very good as well as the and the pot pie. Mashed potatoes were decent, not a big fan of red skinned mashed potatoes with the skin. The server was very friendly.
