Cool place inside and out
Steve W.

Very cool place with old memorabilia including old hot rod in restaurant . Great service great food fair prices!

I've never had a good experience here. Food is gross. Service is horrible. Last violation from the health dept says there is evidence of animal contamination???

This place is a gem! Such a cool experience and atmosphere. Would love to come and see a live band or concert one time too. Food was excellent. Thought it would just be bar food, but boy were we wrong. And the prices are fairly cheap. Service was great! Had a party of 13 and our waitress did a good job. Restrooms were a bit warm because they are by the kitchen, but the decor was awesome. Shopping too!

The atmosphere is a car lover's dream! Definitely a unique spot with a large variety of food on their menu. Although, I'd say the food is pretty average, nothing to go out of your way for. If they stepped up the food a bit then this place could truly thrive! Service was good, overall a decent place.

Super cool place! We just had drinks & an appetizer. We sat at the bar & had amazing service! Will return when we are in Lubbock again.

Backstage before concert!

I really enjoyed the Casey Donahew concert here on the 4th of July 2023! Great venue and super staff! Thank you for the excellent experience! We'll be back!

Front entrance

Cool garage to eat at. Friendly staff and quick service. Cool signs and memorabilia all over the restaurant

Grilled Lemon chicken with rice. I chose vegetables & side salad as my 2 sides.

Flat drinks, terrible salsa, disgusting bathrooms, and over an hour while the restaurant is nearly empty. Awful experience

Thought the food was a little overpriced for what you were served . I might try again if they have a concert there and I'm hungry .

Luke provided exceptional service. Got the suns out buns out burger and it was perfect. I enjoyed…read moreit very much.

I just think this place is a disaster. This has nothing to do with the niceness of the staff…read more(bartender). He is attentive. But I sat down. (It's late June). And flies are buzzing around everywhere. I order and while ordering I say, "Hey what can be done about these flies to keep them away from me and off my food when it arrives". The answer, "that's because it's summer and we leave our door open, we have a salt gun but we can't use it when customers are here." "So... what is done to keep flies under control and away from my food?" I look around and see no deterrents hanging or placed, nothing. I just received a phone emoji worthy white man shrugging face. This place doesn't even have a fly swatter or flip flop from an angry Mom. The Sweet and Spicy burger arrives. It was good enough. Just so that you know FIFA WC soccer was on. Ivory Coast was up on Curaçao 2-0 and Germany was tied up with Ecuador 1-1 in a close and better elimination game. The audio for the bar was for the CIV v CUW. I was interested in the Germany v Ecuador game so I asked, "can we get the audio to the GvE game?" "No, those two ladies (only two other patrons in the bar) are watching the game being played/heard.". "No problem", I say. Meanwhile the women are talking super fast and weren't even taking breathes enough to hear the broadcast nor looking at the TVs. In my head I thought, man I don't write reviews often but this would be an epic one star. But decided chill out, and not. I finish my burger and beer and about with :15 mins left in the match the bartender changes the audio (to GvE) which is met with applause by the women, and an inner smile by me. Ecuador scores almost instantly as they pound on the table and stand on their stools, as if they were on Bourbon Street and things could get very interesting. Hmmm, I think to myself. These damn women are Ecuadorian. So what's with thinking they were Curaçaoian? Or am I to believe they didn't give two about looking at the Curaçao game and suddenly became super fans when the Ecuador game was turned on audio. Honestly. Did he miss the mark that much? Sure did. Anywho, the check arrives at the burger menu priced at $13 comes up as $13.83 and the pints are also like $9.odd amount like $9.81 or something. The total is $33.blah blah. I hand over my card but ask, "what's with the strange pricing? The menu says $8 for each item." "Oh let me check...oh yeah it because the menu lists cash prices and so if you pay cash, you get that price, if not you pay this price." WTH!!! Maybe that's listed on the menu. But a 10% service charge on beer to cover a what 3-4% Visa fee. Man, please be overcharging to buy some fly swatters or hanging stank away bags. So yeah, 1-star. Just skip this place and go sit on a Port-a-potty instead.

We came in for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. In short, this restaurant was amazing and had…read moresome of the best (if not THE best) service we have ever had in our lives. We were immediately greeted as we walked in and taken to our table. We ordered the full experience and were very impressed with the beef options and salad bar. I especially enjoyed the lox and apple salad. Upon use of our flip card, we were promptly served a series of meats. There was no wait at all. One our servers, Katie, shared that she works there now as she came as a patron and was so impressed with how well the service ran that she knew she wanted to work there. We observed that as well. Everyone knew their jobs, everyone was incredibly aware of patrons, and they anticipated your needs before you had to ask for anything. At one point while we were away from our table, our server reset/cleaned up our table! One server used a crumber to clean our table later in our lunch. The restaurant is large, a bit dark, but well laid out. We were thanked for our visit and even asked if there was a special occasion we were celebrating. If I had one suggestion, it would be, change from bottled ranch to homemade ranch. Everything is so delicious that it was almost as if everything stopped in time when I tasted the ranch. Homemade ranch is so easy to make and it tastes so much better! Other than that, there is not one other thing I would change. This is truly a special place to celebrate any special moment.

Very good restaurant with beautiful decor and overall ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious…read moreand offered a wide range of choices for all palates to enjoy. Come hungry because they definitely won't leave you unsatisfied with the amount of food served. The service was good overall. Our dedicated server Matheus seemed very anxious to get the service started by asking how long it would be for the rest of our party to arrive and trying to shift members of the party down as to not leave any gaps between people and remove the extra place settings. Towards the end of service it also felt as if he was in a hurry to clear the plates and several of us that were still enjoying our meal and had to point that out.
