    Wide assortment of meats and sides
    Daniel K.

    Being new to Lubbock, finding a Korean BBQ was very nice. The service was amazing. Great customer service. The manager Jackson was very helpful and kind. I felt valued as a customer. Everything tastes delicious. Cooking your own meats, while getting assistance from the server allows you to cook to your preference and eat right away while it is nice and hot. Sushi is delicious with a wide assortment. You will get your moneys worth for sure. Keep up the great work and look forward to dining there again. Felt very calm and chill. They also have a variety of soju Korean liquor if you want a alcoholic beverage

    I have been to Volkano about 4 times since they opened and have had a great experience each time! The meats are great quality and I love all of the side options (the soup and radishes are my favorite!). I have had Peter as my waiter several times and he is on top of his game, making sure our grill is cooking correctly and that we have what we need. I love the overall experience of a Korean barbecue and so happy Lubbock finally has one!

    Absolutely delicious food and great service! Finally a great Korean BBQ restaurant here in Lubbock. The personal cooking at the table adds so much to the experience and atmosphere of the restaurant. Great for families, date night, etc. Will definitely be back

    Volkano is basically what happens when someone says, "What if we combined sushi, barbecue, and alcohol, and just... didn't stop?" The meat selection? Huge. Like, "I need a strategy and a nap halfway through" huge. Everything was cooked perfectly -- smoky, flavorful, and the kind of food that makes you reconsider every sad microwave meal you've ever had. The sushi was just as solid -- fresh, tasty, and not the afterthought it usually is at BBQ-fusion places. Whoever's rolling it knows what they're doing and probably deserves a raise. And let's talk about the drinks -- they were strong. Like, "I can suddenly sing karaoke in public" strong. Portion sizes were generous enough that I started to worry they were trying to test my survival instincts. The vibe? Chill, a little flashy, and exactly what you want when you're trying to impress someone without admitting you Googled the place five minutes before showing up. Final verdict: Volkano is dangerously good. Great food, great drinks, and great portions -- basically everything my self-control didn't need.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The hostess was nice. Our server said her name was Olivia. She was rude. She took my husband's order and disregard my turn to order food for the "all you can eat." When she brought the drinks she didn't even bother to wait for me to tell her what I wanted to order. I had to wait until she came to the table to drop off the sauces for the Korean BBQ order. I order 4 sushi rolls then my husband tried to order another sushi roll for himself. This rude ass waitress turn to me and said that I already order 6 sushi rolls. Not sure why she even has the nerve to say that when I only order 4 rolls. When my husband ask for a dragon roll for his order she said they were big rolls. ( As if he didn't know). She didn't put in his dragon roll order. To make matters worse my husband asked for more wasabi she pointed at his sushi platte for the little bit that was given. How was he suppose to dip the wasabi in a plate without a small bowl to mix soy sauce with wasabi first?!? She gave attitude when she brought the little bowl over with the wasabi. My sushi plates did not have wasabi or ginger. She didn't even bring me a small bowl of wasabi with my sushi rolls. My husband had to ask an other employee for a small bowl for me because I was using the sushi plate that had one roll that I finished early. She wasn't very attentive. My husband had to order his dragon roll again because he never got it. Ways to improve: fire Olivia...or retrain her because her f*&king attitude sucks.

    31.99 a person for dirty all you can eat trash. No flavor, meat is gross. You have to cook it yourself. The meat had an old spoiled taste to it. Who would want to eat meat and veggies with no sauce, no seasoning, nothing but old poor quality food.

    The brisket was incredible and had the best bark! We went on George Strait Saturday at lunchtime…read more The manager said she had been there 13 years along with another staffer, and neither had seen a line like we experienced on Saturday. The wait was a little crazy and the staff was clearly out of their element with the booming crowd, but at the end of the day, the food spoke for itself! I'm a 9th gen Texan and love my BBQ. This was the sh*t! It was some of the best brisket I've ever had, seriously. Now people will say, "what place has the best BBQ?" My immediate thought is "clearly they've never had BBQ! As there's literally no place on earth with the best BBQ." If you've eaten your fair share then you know that's a trick question. The better question is, "who has the best brisket, or ribs, or nanner puddin, or whatever." Some places are great and others suck, but no one is the best at all of it. They may be above average or even exceptional, but they will still be better at one meat than another. We had brisket, turkey, beef rib, pulled pork, mild sausage and jalepeno, along with some brisket deviled eggs. Dude! If it were Cajun food, you'd have to slap yo mama. Fortunately it's BBQ so we loosen our belt strap and when we can't eat another bite, we grab the biggest spoon we can find and eat some nanner puddin. It was solid. For sides we had potato salad, cole slaw, mac n cheese and collard greens. Personally, my favorite was the mac n cheese as it was creamy and tasted great, but my friends from Oregon were in TX for the first time and while she had never had collard greens, she couldn't get enough of them and literally went back for thirds. As mentioned, our friends were in from Oregon and had never been to TX not ever had TX BBQ. Shack you did us proud!

    Plenty of parking. ADA parking available…read more Great for groups. Ok for kids The menu has something for everyone. I ordered the beef ribs with sides and my wife ordered the brisket sandwich. The flavor of the meat was great. Sides were ok. Friendly staff. Nice bar. Definitely a place to try.

The menu was very easy to read, and provided enough variety in order to find exactly what you were looking for without needing to compromise on your appetite. The waitress was very friendly and provided her opinion on local favorites without demeaning other options, always a deal breaker for me when places do that, so she gets special love for her taking care of us that night. Once our meals arrived, it was time to dig in. The food was hot, prepared exactly as expected, and in typical Texas fashion there was more than we could expect to eat in a single sitting. At Chopped and Sliced BBQ, you will never leave hungry. Honorable mention to the fried Okra. I became the star of the night as almost everyone at the table couldn't get enough of it. Also, not sure if it was a regular or one-off, but the night we were dining in there was a man playing traditional Americana folk songs on guitar just inside by the entrance. He provided a nice relaxing atmosphere for the night without being too out or overbearing for my ears. I found myself tipping him on more than one occasion for his contributions to the evening.

    Walked in and was instantly greeted and asked if I had been there before (probably because I looked…read moreconfused), man lead me to the register and told me to let them know it was my first time so I could try whatever I would like. Young lady took my order, was super patient, got me samples, told me her favorites and sold me on some pudding. The food was excellent, I had regular sausage, chopped brisket, creamed corn, beans, and chocolate pudding. I can't even begin to explain how delicious this meal was, so good I'm writing this before I even pack up my left overs. It was slow during the time I went so it was mellow and empty but I can imagine this place during lunch/dinner or the weekend gets pretty busy. Absolutely will come back as the service, food, and overall vibe was pleasant and welcoming.

    Ordered 2 baked potatoes and honestly I was not that impressed. The potatoes were semi-soft and…read moreparts tasted kind of raw. Please pass on this following information to management and cooking staff; I do believe it is important, especially in this economy. Buyers want to get their moneys worth and I feel this is a ripoff. I get really agitated when an establishment sells a loaded baked potato and all they do to the potato itself is slice it down the middle and load the toppings on top of it. It ruins the process of eating the potato in a simple enjoyable fashion as a knife is actually needed to carve out bite size pieces of potato. An unfortunate result of this method is butter etc seeps out of the potato and into your general eating space. I got this order to go and had to mop my kitchen floor from the mess it created before I could actually eat it. Messy BBQ may be niche yall are trying to pitch but I do not think it is cute. The potato was semi hard and quite bland. After around 5-8 bites all I was left with was half of a plain unflavored potato I suggest cooking staff and management ensure their potatoes are properly cooked to the point that the potato feels like a ripe avocado . Kitchen staff should gently yet firmly push down the properly cooked potato to change the texture and create a reservoir to properly hold the toppings. Food gets zero stars, as I mentioned. I will give 2 stars because order was ready fast and the employee expediting to go orders was really nice. A theme of many of my reviews is "do it right or don't do it all". It is my opinion Rudy's should not sell baked potatoes until they overhaul their process.
