Logistically there is both amble parking and space inside for groups of all sizes. Very simple inside and sometimes that's all you need. The service was spot on, even if a bit on the slower side for how busy they were. We weren't in a rush, so not a big deal. They were accurate, attentive, and very friendly. The chicken fried steak was delicious, and cooked perfectly. Their gravy was very nice as well. Eggs cooked correctly and had browns crispy. All I could ask for there! The french toast was good but not great. I'm not sure what it was that they coated it in but it had a bit of an odd crispy texture that was almost like it was pik-nik sticks (for lack of a better comparison), and while it wasn't bad, tilt wasn't my favorite. Overall it was a very positive experience with a delicious breakfast!

I still remember sitting in those booths with our parents having Grilled Cheese sandwiches back in the 70's. But, over the last 4-5 decades, that location has really gotten nasty. The building, the fixtures, the interior, the parking lot, that place is just nasty. I even got out of my truck one day and walked around the back where the door is, where the deliveries are made, the grease bin is, NASTY. Cannot imagine how nasty it might be in the kitchen area that we do not have access to, can not see. But, I used to still stop by there every once in a while after I got back to Lubbock. Until the blow up with the Rude Manager many here has spoken about. One Friday afternoon I stayed at my Shop out in Wolfforth late to catch up on a few things before the weekend. Knowing this location was always busy on Fridays I called in an order to pick up on my way home. Called in a 4 piece Country Basket with an EXTRA GRAVY. Girl said they're busy, give them 20 minutes. Said good, I'm out in Wolfforth, it'll take me a bit to get there. Took my time closing up shop, took off. I got there probably 30 minutes after I called in my order. 12 cars in the Drive Thru. I parked and went inside. As I'm standing there waiting behind this older couple taking their ever loving f'ing time to place their order (C'mon People, you're in your 80's. Dairy Queen menu has NOT changed in 60 years, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, you should know what you want by now!!!) I saw the Cook put a Country Basket Box up on the counter WITH MY EXTRA GRAVY on top of the box and put the ticket under the Gravy. Thought Good, timed it just right. 20 Minutes was actually 30-35 minutes. As that couple was still ordering, I watched the Kid working the Drive Thru walk over to that counter, Grab that Country Basket Box, look at the ticket, put the Ticket and the Gravy back on the shelf, and handed that Box out the window to someone going through the Drive Thru. I kind of thought Hmmmm. When I finally got to the register, Guy at Register looked back at Cook asking about my Order. Cook said it was right there. I told them that Kid at the window took it. That Kid DENIED IT. I looked at that Kid and asked, Are You Kidding ME?? I stood here and WATCHED YOU grab the Box, The Gravy, and the Ticket, look at the Ticket, put the Gravy and the Ticket back on the Counter, and hand that Box out the window. Now it was sitting at 40 Minutes since I ordered. I was hungry, tired, was tired of standing there, and wasn't going to put up with that. Manager tried to say it would be about 15 minutes to make another order since they were so busy. No apologies, even after I tried to point out what that Kid had done. How many people order a Country Basket WITH EXTRA GRAVY? That was my order sitting there, the ticket shows it was my order, and that Kid handed it out the window to someone who did not call their order in 45 minutes ago like I had done. F That. I walked out, have not been back since. I still stop by 7/11 every once in a while to get an Arizona Tea while out running errands. I look over at that Building and still see how disgusting that entire property is today. How it is still open amazes me. I will never step foot on that property ever again. Or, not until that Building is torn down and I walk across that Vacant Lot reminiscing back to the time when we walked across that Vacant Lot to get to the 7/11 that was where Scooters is now.

As we walked in, there were 3 staff members: a lady working the register, the older Korean gentleman (the presumed heart of the restaurant), and another cook. Once we placed the order, the 2 men in the back sat up and went to the fryers immediately to lock in. Fried chicken takes its time and unlike a chain like Popeyes and KFC who can have legs, breasts, and wings ready at the drop of a hat, Kokio only makes what's needed per order. This means there is a longer wait for the food. As we sat and waited for our food, multiple to-go and presumed DoorDash drivers came in and had a similar wait to us. The time seemed to crawl as we waited, but once the order came out and I took my first bite, all was well. I ordered their Wings Plate which came with 5 wings, fries, and some coleslaw. I upgraded my fries to waffle fries for the vibes and they were worthwhile. For the wings, I got them tossed in the Honey Bee sauce. They were smooth and sweet while having a slight kick. The crisp on the chicken was insane and had an earth shattering rumble as you took a bite. It's one of those meals you go silent after your first bite and don't say anything until your last. It's one of those meals you are willing to wait over an hour for. It's one of those meals you use 20 napkins and wash your hands twice before leaving the restaurant.

Oh man, this burger was good! Succulent patty soaked in Stubb's very own BBQ sauce. I love the fried onion rings on top because they lend a new crispy texture to every bite.

11June2026 I have been married to a Lubbock Native for 27…read moreyears now, and for all of this time, I have been hearing about Spanky's, just across from Texas Tech University. She has been hyping up this joint forever and during this trip to her hometown, we ended up there on our first night we were in town. On the outside, it looks like the typical university food joint that could be at any university town across America. It was small with a few tables and booths and had stuff across the walls that yelled TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS so loud that it could be seen from the ISS. Apparently, the owner is a big fan and possibly an Alumna of TTU. We ordered the hand dipped mushrooms and onion rings to go along with our burgers. Little did I know what an experience the two appetizers would be. Lets just say that I have NEVER has such wonderful shrooms and rings ... ever. Thats saying something. The mushrooms are not the typical soft, mushy ones that many places serve out of the Sysco bags ... no, these were easily identifiable as button mushrooms even through the crispiness of the batter. Firm, sliceable and easily skewered by a fork to be dipped in ranch sauce. In short ... they were lip-smackin good. The onion rings, dipped in the same batter, cooked in the same oil and served at the same temperature were just as delectable. They were thick sliced sweet yellows that held their toothiness throughout the frying process. Just the bite into it was yummy, sweet and crispy ... all at the same time. These reminded me of the onion rings I used to get at Tookies down in Seabrook, Tx during the 70's and 80's. For my main, I chose the "Hotter than Hell Burger" with crinkle fries. I like hot and spicy and expected it to actually be hotter than it was. The sliced jalapeño and habanero spread were present and did the job of letting my taste buds know they were doing their job. It just wasn't the knockout I was expecting from a burger place serving university students that would eat really spicy stuff on a dare. Don't get me wrong, that burger was really good, just as my Wife said it would be. That statement is truth, not hype, but hotter than hell, naah. More like hotter than heck. My biggest disappointment was the limited selection of good beer. Light beer, cheap lagers and Mexican standards. Would it hurt to put in an IPA or a Stout? Overall, the staff were wonderful and answered any of the myriad of questions I had about their fare. It was an actual experience for me, especially after all of the hype my Wife told me over the decades. Usually, after a big span of time, places from our youth let us down. Spanky's is NOT a place like that. I will be sure to make it there on the next trip to Lubbock ... even if my Wife isn't with me. Ciao, Darrell
