Waitress apologized, stating no chili available today so we changed to hotdogs with onion, mustard, and cheese with one order of fries. Brought fries on both. Fries were good and hot as was the dog.

It was more Mexican cuisine with some pretty creative and unique dishes. Ocho 80 has all the makings of a great place. The food presentation was also pleasing. I would say this is a 3.5 stars if I could but I will round up to 4. There were 5 of us and the overall take was we appreciated the creative approach but the execution needed a little work. Food was a bit cold when it came out, and the flavors worked sometimes. I appreciate the approach and fusion approach but sometimes the flavors just did not work for us. I will be back again to try something else. Forgot to say drinks and drink selection were great as well!

Before my daughter's appointment nearby, we decided on Flippers Tavern for lunch…read more This place is quite different than many places in Lubbock, TX. When we walked in on May 19, 2026, the place was not too busy at around noon. Right away I noticed low lighting. Cool alternative, rock, and old R&B music playing in the background. A full bar. Pinball machines for tables. Lots of nostalgia in this place! Restroom was mostly clean. The food was okay. I wish there was a bit more flavor to everything. My daughter agreed. + The Damned Dog ($11) "All beef frank, house beef chili, cheddar, diced onions, and jalapeno crispies." This was good but the frank and chili needed more flavor. I opted for a side of house-made vegan potato salad (additional $1.50) instead of potato chips which really good. + The Sourpuss ($12) "Bratwurst, sauerkraut, pickle slice, crushed salt & vinegar chips, and queso fresco." My daughter enjoyed this with ketchup and mustard added and a side of smoked gouda mac. That mac was very tasty. We also noticed how crisp and spicy our Sprite and Dr. Peppers were. Loved that. I'd definitely go back again for a drink and maybe a sandwich next time. Ample lot parking.
