It's a crazy busy place, with tons of ambiance but get there early so you don't have to wait in line. Great banana pudding for dessert!

It sure is a busy place and the great food tells you why. I had the country fried steak- yum . My wife had the chopped steak and loved it. The service was fast and friendly. Will be coming back. It has a cowboy motif read more

This place is near my work and I Highly recommend this place best pie's in town and surrounding areas there are known for their banana pudding and their chicken fried steak but all choices are Awesome I take all my family members there when it my turn to spurge at a restaurant #1 in my book. read more

I enjoyed the chicken fried steak. Onion rings were excellent. The side salad I would pass on though. Mashed potatoes were good but I would try something else next time. read more

Wonderful place. Arrived just before closing-2:00. Greeted with a smile and enthusiasm. Ordered the catfish special, 4 pieces of catfish cooked to perfection. Sides- green beans and French fries. Yummy. Also prefer the chicken tenders. Sides mashed potatoes (Slightly cold), and honey glazed carrots - OUTSTANDING. Had a hankering for banana pudding, unfortunately they ran out. Received excellent service from Cassie. Will definitely come back to try the pudding. read more

First off the food is incredible. If you're looking for good southern check this place out asap. Also the service was great; the staff very quick and welcoming. Overall it's a great spot for any occasion. read more

Passing through on a trip, I stopped at Cast Iron Grill first because it was just off of I-27. Going I had a vegetable plate and coming home, I had a bacon cheeseburger. Both were good. Pretty reasonable for today's standards. Waitress was a jewel. They have a showcase of homemade pies but when I was coming home, I didn't get there until 1:30 and almost all the pies were gone . Missed out on that!! read more

This is a very casual diner, that is super fast. More than likely, they have all the food premade in the back, kind of like a buffet style, probably to serve to the guest fast.. Even though it came out where earlier than anybody could ever serve it if they made it fresh and it probably was made far before we ordered it, it still was very, very good. read more

Stopped here on our way thru Lubbock and would definitely recommend. Even though from the outside it looks unimpressive, the food was served quickly and was delicious. Atmosphere was unassuming but clean. The waitress was personable, efficient and anticipated our need for refills before we even asked. I got the iron grill burrito and had green chili sauce on the side and it was delicious. Prices were reasonable. We weren't there for lunch or dinner but the pies in the pie case looked amazing. read more

This cafe was great. Excellent atmosphere . Good breakfast. Outstanding staff.Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy!

I love coming here for breakfast. Our server Audriana was amazing too. Even though they were busy she made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us regularly. Everything tasted amazing and hit the spot. Can't wait to come back! read more

OMG! That was so good! Now I need a nap! I got the free chips and salsa with my Yelp check in. The salsa is fresh and flavorful. It's not the best ever, but it's good. I got the chicken fried chicken with both gravy's to sample. The traditional cream gravy is amazing. Just creamy goodness with the chicken and the mashed potatoes. The green chili gravy gave me pause, but it was good. Boy, it's got a bite and that's coming from someone who loves spicy! The chicken was fresh, not greasy. It was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The mash was creamy and well seasoned. Nothing processed here, just pure potatoey perfection. The waitress recommended the broccoli cheese casserole and what a great call. I loved it. So cheesy and fresh. I also got a roll and it was okay. It might have been better if it had been warm, but I only ended up taking a couple bites. The coconut cream pie was great. The filling is very dense and would have been great with an entire glass of milk. There was not much crust on the bottom, so that was a little sad because I love crust. If you are in Lubbock and want some southern comfort food, try this place out! read more

OMG great food from chicken fried steak to meat loaf and so much more. Wonderful pies. Great service. It's noisy and crowded but worth it

I'm only giving this restaurant a three star review based on the quality of food. I know things are different in different locations. The chicken fried steak that I ordered was complete gristle and absolutely vomitus. Not something that I would recommend. With that said, that's what this restaurant is known for. On a more positive note. Our waitress was wonderful, helpful, and make sure we were taking good care of she kept our drinks full. She was quite nice. The cheesecake was OK but it was very dry. They prep the cheesecake every morning and then put it in the refrigerator with whatever topping they're serving that day. To me, that seems an odd way of doing it. It would prevent the food from drying out if you just kept it in its original container and didn't apply every slice and every topping to each piece. Once again, different place different ways of doing things. read more

The best way to describe it is think of the best versions of your grandmas cooking! Hearty, homestyle meals but everything is AMAZING! We did the chicken fried steak, okra and fries and the smothered chicken with mash and Mac and cheese. We also had the chocolate pie. read more

Okay there's one thing I can't help but get every single time I come in... and that's the green Chile chicken fried steak. This is the best chicken fried steak I've ever had and just thinking about it makes me hungry. Everyone needs to try this place- they have all kinds of country cooking and an array of homemade pies. read more

This place has its act together. Great service, and classic entrees done right. Lubbock has some of the best queso in the world and Cast Iron is no exception. Simple, fresh and right! This seems like the kind of place that builds its business by finding a keeping great employees. They just do breakfast and lunch so get here early. I appreciated the 10% military discount! read more

I enjoyed lunch here with my son who attends Texas Tech. I had a very tasty Chicken Fried Chicken. Their gravy is a big winner and the sides (green beans and cole slaw) were winners! The cole slaw is very tasty and light. The green beans are done just right and the bacon they sneak in is excellent. My son wasn't hungry and asked for a BLT. Wow, good looking, thick bread, plenty of bacon (because, what else matters on a BLT?) and he was a happy camper! The pie looks amazing. I tried to talk him into some but he didn't bite (pun intended). I was traveling so I couldn't take a slice, but I WILL BE BACK! read more

The food was delicious!! I didn't have a huge appetite so I got the veggie plate. The green beans were seasoned amazingly!!!! The stew is absolutely delicious and the mashed potatoes were good as well. I'll be back read more

Absolutely wonderful. Love the old farm style decor great breakfasts and reasonably priced! Easy on/off access I27. Fast and friendly service! Definitely will come here again next driving through Lubbock. read more

Tried this place on a whim, the fact that there was no parking, was a good sign. Service is always good, the food is always pretty good. The only negative is if you pay in cash, they round UP your bill to the nearest dollar and keep that difference out of your change. Probably not that big of a deal, but I wonder how much more they take in at the expense of the cash pay customers, by shorting the customer. It seems to be pretty common, as it happens every time. I'm assuming it's a policy, not too ethical in my opinion. But not a big enough deal to take issue with the server about. That may be the thinking on that, I don't know, but it has been consistent. read more

Absolutely must go to in Lubbock. Great home cooking. Fast service. Just an over great experience. Only knock, get the pie early. They run out fast!! read more

The picture says it all. The staff are super pleasant, efficient, and professional! Food was terrible. read more

Cast Iron Grill - Scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Came as a large group from Tech and they were able to accommodate us all, were extremely pleasant and the food was amazing! There is a reason that Cast Iron is always at the top of all the "must eat at" lists! read more

Welcome back to Texas!! It is so gosh dang difficult to find a great CHICKEN FRIED STEAK outside of Texas. The one here at CIG is just as big as the state!! Smothered in rich gravy goodness, this steak is hard to beat! I also tried the GREEN CHILE STEW. It had a nice heat. I love the New Mexican influence in the Lubbock food scene. Now to the important part - the dessert counter. First of all it was ravaged!! Lonely, empty spots that once held delicious pies and desserts was a disappointing sight. My vow is to get here early on my next visit to try one of their famous sweets. Updated review for my second trip: I was bummed out this trip. The server we had rushed us out the minute we sat down. She came by the table to ask how the food tasted twice before I had my first bite. She didn't allow us to order dessert since she had already printed our ticket. This place just feels like an assembly line. read more

The breakfast is fabulous, the lunch is decent and the staff, the best part of the place... is amazing. Very friendly & great service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Coming through from the RGV and wanted to try this place specifically. Called at 10am to make sure they would be serving breakfast until 10:45 and was told YES only to arrive at 10:35 and be told they already closed it. VERY disappointed. My hubby only wanted the omelette and couldn't have it. Good service, food was okay, prices are affordable. Fun place. read more

This place is fantastic! Stumbled across it looking for a place to get brunch while I was in town for a wedding. Everything is homemade and delicious! read more

I can't say enough about the the Cast Iron Grill The owner has done a fabulous job creating a fun and special place that is loved by it's regulars. ALL the staff are fantastic, and thrilled to serve you. The food can't be beat and the prices are very reasonable. We had the Smothered Chicken, Green Chile Stew and the BBQ Beef Brisket Nachos. Great presentation, expertly prepared comfort food, with healthy portions. Out glasses of sweet tea never got below half full and they were happy to offer to-go cups. Save room for desert. The pastry chef is fantastic in her own right and works in full view in the lobby. What isn't there to like about this place. read more

The friendly staff and great food made this breakfast a memorable experience! I loved having a meal in a unique place that's just not another chain restaurant. read more

Delicious home style cooking. Save enough room for dessert. The pie was amazing. Dog friendly and service was fast.

I had 2 egg special with sausage over easy, with sausage and biscuits. I was so hungry I forgot to get picture of the food. It was a good choice for a small breakfast. This is a good breakfast choice and location the Buddy Holly center is across the street and opens at 10am. The Buddy Holly center is closed Mondays. They have a variety of food choices your normal country breakfast menu. I enjoyed the interior Texas everything with lots of humor. read more

What a great experience! Most people park across the street at the Buddy Holly Museum (which was closed when we were there). Parking lot was full and we watched dozens of people walking in, but we were seated within a few minutes. Our server was attentive and friendly, there are lots of choices on the menu, our meals of country fried steak and a salad with fried chicken were both very good. The pies, oh those pies...Almond Joy and Cherry (sundae?) were wonderful. A bit pricey with all that we ordered but we had enough to take home for dinner tonight so not a bad deal overall. read more

Best food ever!! Chicken strips, chicken fried steak , burger, vegetable plate. And dessert are so good. I've order pies for Thanksgiving all homemade right there. Service is fabulous !! Clean!! Only complaint I have I wished they were open on the weekends or at night. I can't imagine what they could do for grilled steaks. Their salads are good too. Fresh cut not bagged read more

I ate at the Cast Iron Grill two days in a row this week and the food was good. And I have eaten there previously, and it has always been good food. But my issue is with the customer service. Both of the days that I went myself and other people that were waiting in the front to be served just totally got ignored for ten or fifteen minutes before one lady just had to literally say excuse me to one of the workers just to get us help...!! One of the workers even spoke to a man who came in who was obviously a regular there, and still not acknowledging us at all..! I never experienced that before in the past, not sure if its new workers now, but I definitely think those ladies need a refresher course in customer service...!!! If it wasn't for the poor customer service I would have given a 5 star rating. read more

Audriana was our server and she provided excellent service. She was very friendly and attentive. The burger and onion rings were delicious!! It's a must try read more

8 hours agoNEW Closed after 2 and weekends so I was looking forward to having Mon off and taking my kids to enjoy their delicious pies for breakfast. Wanted to spoil them for making student council. We were told to seat ourselves. We sat by the wall next to the table were they keep their water pitchers. Made eye contact with a few waitresses. Then almost 10 mins later another couple came and sat next to us they got menus, their drinks and where ordering already while we were still just sitting there. We got up informed the front bar staff then decided to just leave. read more

Great food and very good service. The atmosphere was very good. Definitely would recommend

I liked the country fried steak; one of the better ones in Texas for sure. The place was supper crowded at lunch, so long line and long wait. And I might add well-protected, with the adjacent tables occupied by a lot of state troopers, which is always a sign of good food, lol. read more

I've only lived here for a short time, but the biscuits and gravy are excellent. I'd say they are the best in Lubbock if I could. Portions are just right, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The Cast Iron Grill is perfect for everyday, special occasions, and for impressing out-of-towns visitors. You won't regret giving them your business. read more
