Gin and tonic

Sariaha is an amazing bartender and you should be so lucky as to served intoxicating beverages by this charming young lady. Great relaxing ambiance and more than amazing food. Stop by for lunch or a quick beer!

This place has easy access from a major road and it has ample parking. But, wow, it was not what we expected. We came here because of the keto friendly options on the menu. That being said, we thought it might have a health food type vibe, it does not. The vibe is 70s dive bar. I drink wine, when I asked for a wine list (because there was no wine listed on the menu that was for the bar) our server asked what I like and said they have a house white. The good news is the glass cost $2.50,, the bad news is that it wasn't very tasty. The keto sweet and spicy burger was good, the smoke house burger was great, the salad with fried chicken was excellent and the kids grilled cheese was nice. One of us had a couple of cocktails that were so so, we would return for the food, but not for the drinks.

I've had many good meals here in the past. This one was disappointing. I ordered the lunch house salad and grilled chicken wrap. The portion size was surprising, even for a lunch menu. Not much food at all. The house salad had cucumbers, which I do not eat. Didn't see any in the menu picture. The wrap had fried chicken instead of grilled, and was mostly tortilla. I had to ask for the ranch dressing, but it was good once I got it. Bobby provided excellent service, and the robot food delivery was interesting. I'll be back, but not for lunch. The atmosphere was nice, but the music was a little loud and annoying.

A Lubbock staple, have dropped in since the day they opened and I'm still thoroughly impressed with food, drink, and (perhaps most importantly), staff.

Service was great and prices are extremely reasonable. Burger was a little better than average. Will definitely go back for more.

Had the firecracker cheese sticks with jalapeno ranch. Best cheese sticks I've ever tried. Will be back to try more.

We rolled into Lubbock on business, figured we'd fuel up with some coffee, and stumbled onto this…read moregroovy little joint. Good folks, great service, and coffee that'll put a little peace and love in your soul. We'll definitely be back. The bartender even drew a fancy little picture in the foam on my coffee. He kept sneaking looks over his shoulder at me, too. Maybe he somehow knew I'd sampled a couple of gummies earlier and was just watching the good vibes roll in, or maybe he figured an old blue collar hippie like me was liable to hug the espresso machine. Either way, the coffee was outta sight, man , so peace, love, and stop by for some fantastic coffee!

When we walked into Gold Stripe Coffee Roasters, the young lady who held the fort down was doing…read morejust that. She was friendly, fast, and efficient. She knew her stuff too! This coffee shop has its own drive-thru on the back of a large commercial building on the southwestern side of Lubbock, TX. The inside has high ceilings. Multiple seating arrangements scattered. Simple yet elegant decor with a clearcut palette of black, gold, brown, and ivory. The most vibrant item was the chalkboard sign with the new roasts and the WI-FI password. For our late afternoon dust storm road trip back home to New Mexico on February 17, 2026, my daughter opted for an iced cappuccino that was deliciously creamy and sweet to her liking. I wanted something much more impactful and caffeinated, so I settled on a Cortado which is basically a shot of espresso with as much steamed milk. It took a while for it to cool down, but it was some of the best espresso I have had in such a long while. I believe there is a second location on Salem Ave. This one closes early.
