Hi, All!

S and I will be visiting Texas Tech in a couple of weeks, and we’d like some recommendations on where to eat.

What are your favorite places, and what should we have there?

Thanks!

Hi Dia,

We were there this weekend and went to two places recommended to us by alumni, they were both great! Spanky’s is right across the street from the university. Everyone orders hamburgers, fries, and fried cheese. The other place was just down the block, One Guy Pizzeria. We had the pizza and it was delicious but I’m told the calzone is their specialty. On past visits, we’ve eaten at Italian Garden-it was O.K. and Chuy’s.

Excellent, thank you, @Oldhorn!

I second the recommendation for Spanky’s and One Guy Pizzeria. Stubb’s BBQ is another local favorite!

Thanks, @TXRooster ! Stubb’s as in Christopher Stubblefield? We like Stubb’s charcoal and bottled BBQ sauce, so we’ll have to try it if there’s a restaurant.

Yes, the founder of Stubb’s started in Lubbock. Great food and live music!

Looks like the restaurant was closed and Stubb’s moved to Austin. It was still there when I was going to Tech back in the 1990’s LOL! There is still a STUBB’S memorial on 108 E. Broadway.

I currently live in Lubbock, try Burger Fi, its good, and Capital Pizza is the best: do try the buffalo pizza so good.
