Was visiting a friend in Lubbock and wanted a good burger so this is where our friend brought us. Super great, homemade Texas burger. Was so hot it was hard to pick up and the meat was tasty and hand formed. No frozen pre made patty. The onion rings were delicious and a large serving of them. Place was busy but service was fast and very friendly. Would certainly return but Calif is just to far away. read more

Good down home cooking at a very reasonable price. Service was pleasant and quick. No wait at 8:30 the day after Tech graduation!

My husband and I were in town for an early dr appointment and were wanting a good breakfast before leaving. The other reviews for this place had me sold already. We were not disappointed! Service was fast and friendly and the food was really good. We both had biscuits and gravy with sausage on the side. We got it fast and were able to enjoy our meal. Next time I'm in town, definitely coming back for breakfast read more

I've been a regular customer of The Red Zone for quite some time, but I kept hearing about a cafe on highway 1585. I decided to try it, and was really disappointed. The food and service does not compare with The Red Zone. So, long story short, I'm back to my favorite cafe in Lubbock. read more

I stopped in here on my way to ABQ! The facilities are what they are, but the food was great. The Waitress I had was extremely quick and very Pleasant! They didn't have what I wanted on the menu, so I was accommodated with two eggs, hash browns, chorizo and tortillas! I think the food came within 5 min after being ordered! Probably the fastest service I've ever had! I would definitely come back again! read more

super yummy kawaii for all to enjoy! believe it!! just like my papa used to make! mmmm mmm! read more

This is my favorite cafe in Lubbock. The food is always good and the staff is friendly. Their specials are always good. We have eaten there for years, and it is still our favorite place. Prices are very reasonable. read more

This is definitely our go-to place when we can't decide for sure where to go, or what we want. I have NEVER had a bad meal there, and we eat the eat least two or three times a month. Their enchiladas are AMAZING! Great for breakfast, lunch, or supper! Rarely a wait (except Saturday mornings), but it's never a long one. Friendly staff, and they are so GREAT about substituting food items! Good variety, and great prices! #supportlocal read more

This is an average cafe. It has a good selection but some of the portions are just bad. The pork chops are so thin that they might was well be paper. The chicken fried stake is pre breaded. The food is always hot & my order is usually correct. Their breakfast is great! read more

I just had to brag on their enchilada lunch I had yesterday. I really couldn't believe how good they were. I'll be sure to try them again.

This place was hopping on a Sunday morning. Efficient service and good food. The omelette was very good... I had ham and cheese. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The waffles received good reviews from our party. This is a solid choice at a good price for breakfast in Lubbock. read more

Very good food and friendly staff. Really like it when a random person refills my drink! Building is dated, reminds me of a dive restaurant in Austin. read more

Total Diner....Totally Great. If you are expecting a 5 star eatery...stay away...if you want great service, go with the flow, hang with the locals and enjoy a blue plate special....go forth and conquer. I had grilled chiken with the Veggie of the Day, mashed taters, plus a cup of Chicken Gumbo...all was wonderful. I like my mashed taters with a little more of the skins and lumpier but hey that is just me...this is straight up out of the scooper with the rounded top b.c they were done with the ice cream spoon hahaha. Service is friendly and everyone knows everyone. I did not see anyone smoking or ashtrays on the tables so that was a plus for me. Parking is a little tricky. They also have a drive thru. Prices you cannot beat! Easy location too. Support your local community...do not eat at the chain places. read more

Great service despite the fact that the place was packed. It is nice to go to a place where employees seem to actually enjoy what they are doing! The food was very good. I had the chicken fried steak; tender, great breading, the gravy was top notch and the mashed potatoes and green beans were very good. For under $7 this was an excellent value. I will be back!! read more

As we were preparing to leave the Lone Star State, my Sis in law told us to hit this place for breakfast. What a fabulous suggestion! The place was packed at 7am! I mean, cops, public works people, construction people. You name it, if they had to be up early, they were here! And I know exactly why, the food. It was fresh and fantastic. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the bacon was not burned to a crisp like other places. Mu husband and his bro each had 3eggs over hard with potatos and sausage. It just seemed like alot of food to me. I had the pancakes and bacon and was perfectly happy. The menu isn't very varied for breakfast, but since the food gets to you piping hot, that's fine by me. The kicker, &23 for 3 people for breakfast! Can't beat that! read more

Great local place to eat breakfast, have never been disappointed. The food has always been tasty, and the service quick, no matter how busy the restaurant is. The breakfast is so good that I've never had non-breakfast food, but I hear it's good too! read more

Best restaurant in Lubbock for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always fast, friendly service. Great for large or small groups.

Great local breakfast spot. I come here often and did not take the wait staff long to know my name. I would recommend this place. They make great breakfast and keep your coffee full. read more

Good breakfast food for way cheap. A couple can eat for $13, and that would be spendy. My husband gets a burrito that is less than $2 and I load up on coffee and an omelet or French toast or a migas-style breakfast with beans and tortillas. Good people-watching of the local farmers and their wives, and just West Texas People. I love it. It is one of the more authentic experiences of true Lubbock if you are here to go to Tech and live mostly in the Tech bubble. :) What's not to love? read more

This is the place to go when you want the kind of food you grew up with. Go early or late if you don't wanna wait, especially on Saturday. And enjoy the atmosphere in all of its faded glory. They don't make 'em like this anymore! read more

Great food, great service and fast. Prices are very reasonable, too. I'm in Lubbock monthly for business and this is the first time I've eaten here. I will definitely be back. read more

I get the same thing every time I come here - their breakfast burrito. It's huge and delicious. It's so good there's no reason to even THINK about getting anything else. read more

Recommended by locals! Breakfast was tasty, quick, facilitated by genuinely friendly service. Never had a cold or empty cup of coffee. The only question we had was seating ourself or waiting to be seated. Seat yourself. read more

Had Sunday breakfast here while visiting my son at Tech. I highly recommend the Red Zone Breakfast Burrito. Great combination of eggs, veggies, and sausage. It was a bit busy, but the waitress was a delight and the service was fast. The owner was there hustling right along with the staff, also with a big smile. read more

This place is great! All their breakfast is amazing! Everything comes out within minutes, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. Everything on their menu is also extremely cheap!!! For three people our ticket ended up only being 20 something dollars. This is a great place for a quick breakfast or lunch. Everything on their menu is great so don't be afraid to try something new! read more

Three of us got different things. Everyone loved theirs. We tried hamburger steak, enchilada dinner, and catfish. We will be back when we visit my daughter at Tech. read more

This is a really nice diner. The food was good and had a "home-cooked" feel to it. The staff were super-friendly. You can't beat the price--very inexpensive. As far as American diners go, this place is great. read more

Went to Red Zone Cafe on a very busy saturday but we were still seated very fast! The staff was very friendly and hardworking!We were asked every so often if everything was okay. The atmosphere of the crowd was very good because of the service! Would Recommend to go over and try! read more

While in Lubbock for graduation the Red Zone Cafe was recommended to us. We absolutely loved it! The owner welcomed us and recommended the Ham Steak (excellent choice) and our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful! We would love to visit again. We highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Anytime I eat with my grandfather, we go here. Amazing breakfast. Pretty much always a great waitress. The owner is very nice!

First time my friends and I visited this Restaraunt. The food was fairly good, kind of chewy pancakes and they couldn't figure out how to cook crispy bacon. Other than that everything was okay. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. Not bad though. read more

Best place in Lubbock for breakfast anytime. Lunch and dinner is great too! Home cooking at its best!

Thanks for the reviews on this cafe. It was great. Fast service, from drinks to the food and it was rather busy. Went on a Friday @ about 9:30 AM. Will surely be back. read more

I'm in town for work and needed a place to eat with down home cooking. I found it. This place had pot roast with red potatoes and green beans just like home made and it was great! The cabbage soup was fantastic. I'm a new fan. The service was super fast as well. read more

Been calling in Lubbock for years and finally tripped across this place. Just wanted a diner breakfast. I got that and a whole lot of hospitality on top of it. I had a basic breakfast and it was excellent, but Marcel (the sweet lady that took care of me) made the experience fun. She explained all the options and was just super pleasant to visit with. I will definitely come back next time to Lubbock. read more

Really is a 3.5 for food. Good value. Prices super reasonable. Breakfast burrito was pretty good. Would go again.

Fantastic comfort food, they even took kindly to an Aggie here :). Definitely a hot spot for locals, we visited on a Friday evening (non) home game weekend and it was busy but didn't have to wait. The wait staff and chicken fried steak were fantastic. Lots of cool TTU memorabilia on the walls. Don't be turned off by the less than welcoming exterior, it's a great spot for breakfast or CFS/burgers. read more

This place has gone down hill since the new owner took over. The service is slow and your food doesn't come out at the same time. People shouldn't have to wait 10 minutes for their door to come out while everyone else at your table is eating. I remember when Saturday nights were packed and now at 730 pm there's 6 tables occupied. Spanish rice shouldn't be crispy and the beans taste like they came out of a can. Saw a couple come in and wait for service while the waitresses stood around talking. The couple eventually walked out. Very disappointing. read more

Has very good food, but workers are very distracted. They talk to each other as if at a reunion. It took 10 minutes for me to even get my waiters attention. Unacceptable. read more

Great local diner, especially for breakfast or lunch. Always busy and staff seems to be happy to be there. A favorite for locals.
