    Are you looking for the most tender chicken fried steak in Lubbock? Then Buns Over Texas is the place! In addition to being tender enough to cut with a fork, it's golden brown crispy and the cream gravy is scrumptious. You can also get other things, like fantastic burgers to add your favorite toppings to, or the best cheese fries in the county. The people are friendly, the dining room feels like a hometown meetup at the ball game, and the food can't be beat.

    Solid burger. Always visit when we are visiting my in-laws. Nothing fancy but place is always packed and is a Lubbock staple!

    I eat here often. Always courteous and fast service. Add condiments from the good choices. Always taste great.

    This may have actually been the most disappointing food I've ever had in Lubbock, I love local…read morerestaurants but this one just isn't it. This isn't to say this is the worst food in existence, but for the price point I can't recommend this place. Let me start by saying this restaurant seems to have a massive variation in the quality of its dishes. I imagine the positive reviews probably ordered some sort of specialty signature dishes as what I got was just reprehensible. Do not order the tomato soup and grilled cheese, don't even consider it. For $9 I got a small cup of soup and HALF of a sandwich, must of been pretty good for the price right?.... I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that when I accidentally burn grilled cheeses at home, they are still better in every category than what I received here. Zero flavor. The tomato soup looked really good, but also had such little flavor that dunking the grilled cheese in it actually made the grilled cheese worse. This meal would've been a tough sell if my 5 year old cousin made it for me when I was sick. My friend also gave their green beans cause they didn't want it... and I can see why, it was also horrifically bland. Also nabbed a few tater tots from the chicken steak and they were super breaded, not bad but not impressive. The "shining" star of the experience was the mulita I got as an appetizer, quite good, like a 3/5 good though, still rather dry and covered in cilantro, came with some sauce, but overall the best thing I had. The decor of the place was just baffling. High ceiling, high chairs, white walls, random TTU alumni adorning the walls, tvs with sports running. Seemingly trying to be a nice place, but the kind of nice place where you can watch the latest football game while having an overpriced beer and the worst grilled cheese of your life. The service I got was fine, on the lower side of quality (especially for the price point). I did like the brown overalls they were wearing, very steampunk. When I saw this place had an overwhelmingly positive reception, I was excited to go there, but this was one of the most disappointing places I've visited in Lubbock which sucks cause it's local. For $20 i got half a grilled cheese, worst than canned soup, and 3 mulitas (which I shared). Maybe to some they would say this was a middling experience, but have some standards for yourself people. I sincerely hope that I just had rotten luck picking the worst item on the menu, and this place is actually quite good, but that's all optimism and no reality. What I got was one star, please fix your grilled cheese. 3/15 (+ brown overalls, + mulita, -everything else) Fails in pretty much every category, I'm sure some dishes are good, but I won't revisit in some futile attempt to find one

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.

When he came to the phone I advised him we had been there a while with no one offering to get us drinks. He finally stopped by the table and made some excuse for the server, which is fine, but why didn't he stop and say that prior to my calling. He passed us at least three times, glancing at our table and still...nothing. That's all I want. Acknowledge that we are there and will be served soon! Very frustrating.

There being about 20-25 people there, how was our meal prepared with no culinary attention to detail? For example: my wife ordered the chicken fried steak, mash potatoes and salad. Her steak was so "bland and lukewarm" that it literally removed all sensitivity of taste from our tongues..., no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. On our drive home that's all me talked about. Mash potatoes were likewise "lukewarm and bland"..., then factor in the gravy..., exactly the same. Her plate obviously sat at the window too long or perhaps her food was simply "sitting there" waiting for us to order it. Her salad: there was nothing "green" about it, it was "all the white stalks" of the lettuce, literally 4 olives, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, 3 half slices of tomatoes with "gigantic croutons (that was interesting)". My "blackened chicken salad"..., salad was the same as my wife's; double-dang because I love salads and being type 2 diabetic and having high blood pressure this would have been the perfect meal for me. HOWEVER; the chicken was the worst ever because it was saltier-than-a-1820's-sailor..., horrible..., and drier than a camel's hump in the Sahari. I never knew that a chicken breast could be abused like that on purpose. So, how does such a nice looking place sell someone "absolutely ridiculously horrible food".

I was back in Lubbock visiting my girlfriend after she had come to see me in Austin the last few times, and we were planning our weekend. I had previously taken her to The West Table to celebrate her graduation, and since we loved it, we knew we had to go back. Last time we went was an amazing experience. We had their arancini as our shared appetizer. She had their Roasted Beet Salad and the Grilled Rack of Lamb, while I had their Caesar and their Cast Iron Seared Duck Breast, which was amazing. We also enjoyed their specialty drinks. This time we arrived for our 7:00 reservation and were greeted and sat immediately. We both ordered a drink to start the night. I started with the Hibi-Jibi, a hibiscus and gin drink, while she had the Peach Ring Margarita. West Table is a farm-to-table scratch kitchen concept, so it's very important that you order all your food from appetizer to main course up front to give them time to craft it at the right pace. The West Table is at the floor level of the luxurious Pioneer Condos. It sits right across from their sister location, The Brewery LBK, and even serves their current brews on location. However, opting for their brews and not their cocktails is a mistake in my opinion because their specialty cocktails are truly one of a kind. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It feels like a ballroom and all the tables are well spaced out. In the back is the open kitchen where you can see all the chefs putting in hard work and mastering each meal. All around, there is great energy. We started with their Roasted Bone Marrow. I was worried about the idea of eating bone marrow since that was something I had never had before, but my girlfriend assured me it would be great. The bones were filled with an onion jam and lemon caper vinaigrette that were placed inside the bone. You could spread the jam and vinaigrette on their grilled bread, which was fantastic as well. It was purposely charred and really added to the jam's flavor profile. We then split their Caesar Salad, and it was a needed divider between our appetizer and entree. Their salad is a good portion for one person, and it was still satisfying being split for two. It was the perfect amount of salad. We got our next drinks ordered to go alongside our main entree. My girlfriend ordered their Fig Old Fashioned, while I got the "C" Monster, a celery-infused vodka drink with a name that sounds so stupid saying out loud that I almost changed my drink after saying it. Can I get the C Monster? WHAT A FOOL. The drink was really solid. The celery flavor was super noticeable, but in a good way. It balanced with the vodka quite nicely. For our main entrees, my girlfriend got their Salmon over Angel Hair pasta, and I got their Pork Chop over mashed potatoes and asparagus. The noodles with the salmon were strong with a very heavy Cajun kick, which complemented the crispy salmon piece, but my pork chop was the star of the show. They recommended it medium, so I got it medium, and it was delightful. Portions of the pork chop were nice and fatty, while others were lean and tender. I was a big fan of its flavor, and the sauce and mashed potatoes really added to it. Perfectly fluffy mashed potatoes. We closed the night with no dessert, but dessert drinks. My girlfriend got The Cold Fashioned (a mix between a smoked old fashioned and coffee liqueur), and I got the Buenas Noches, which mixes coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and orange liqueur. Of all the "nice" restaurants in town, West Table stands alone. It has a price tag but still feels fair. Everything we had was top notch, and I still think they've made the best duck I've ever had. Their waitstaff is attentive and amazing and really sells the experience. At the end of the night, she was happy, I was happy, and West Table proved itself to be the LeBron of Lubbock restaurants.
