I had the best time at Cooks! Kyrstyn is the best bartender around! Definitely will be going back to see her!

Very cool place! Service was great. The spicy cheese curds were phenomenal! The bbq pork sandwich was disappointing, but husband liked his food(I can't remember what he got). read more

The signs lured me in! What a neat place!! You can look forever, there is so much to see and it takes you back to a special moment in your life. The food was great too. Spicy cheese curds were a great appetizer. I then had the chicken fried steak sandwich with sweet potato fries. All were delicious! Since I live in east Texas, I won't be able to come to Cook's Garage often, but when I come back to Lubbock, I'll eat here again! Our waitress was very busy, but she did a great job. Do yourself a favor, take your time and look around. I'd like to know how many gas/oil signs they have! A different place that should be on your list to check out. When in Lubbock, Texas go to Cook's Garage often. Go get Full read more

Cook's Garage is a popular concert venue in Lubbock, TX. I checked off my bucket list item of watching Willie Nelson live (4/17/2024). What a musical artist! It was a sold-out event. Yep, I definitely smelled pot in the air. Coleman Jennings and his band opened. Followed by Ty Myers. General admission for two was $156.92. A bag full of ice and 6 Coors Lights plus a Jack and coke was just under $46. Ladies... clear bag policy only. I carry a pocketknife even when I wear dresses. Leave those in the car. Things I'd do differently... - bring more cash... Willie t-shirts were $40 each. - haul my own foldout lawn chair or... - pay for VIP tickets - not clean my Jeep before parking in the literal farm field... LOL (parking is included in GA ticket) TIPS + Find the alcohol band table BEFORE you try to buy booze. So many folks were turned away from buying alcohol because they didn't do this. Maybe they should rethink their entrance to include this when they checkin & go through "security." + I heard they started requiring folks to use the Event Brite app to have their tickets scanned which I used flawlessly. Sidenotes: "I think youngsters need to start thinking about what kind of world they are going to leave for me and Keith Richards!" -- Willie Nelson A meme I saw: "I feel like Willie Nelson's been the same age my whole life." Yup. read more

Great ambiance and a must-see in Lubbock. Very fun, amazing entertainment and photo ops.

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??? read more

I've never had a bad meal here. The service is excellent and all of the signs inside and out are pretty cool

We love Cooks Garage! Such a fun atmosphere and so much to look at while you are there. Kind of feel transported into a movie when you drive in! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

If this place ain't a "honkytonk" then I don't know what is. Loved the atmosphere here, however, the kitchen was closed prior to my arrival. I would recommend the live musicians should play longer and the kitchen stay open later. Otherwise, awesome place. Can't wait to go back, next time I'm in Lubbock. read more

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! read more

Cook's Garage - Backstage before concert! - New American Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

The atmosphere with the large screens and all the neon signs was great. The service and friendliness of the staff was very good and made the visit for dinner very pleasant. The food didn't disappoint and was very good. read more

Food was great! Our service went well and what I loved the most is wait staff took our plates immediately when we finished eating. A lot of waitresses & waiters leave it on the tables. Live. Music trio was really good and we loved listening to Cela & the other 2 guys. read more

Cook's Garage - Grilled Lemon chicken with rice. I chose vegetables & side salad as my 2 sides. - New American Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Great stop along west Texas highways. We give it 5 stars for ambience, novelty, Americana and the very warm, happy friendly staff including the "boss" lady who opened the gift shop to us just so that we could choose souvenir T-shirts in our size(s). Great photo ops and wonderful signs for car enthusiasts and even casual tourists like me. Willie played 3 weeks ago to a sell-out crowd; we'd love to come back for Dwight Yoakam or a Texas musician on the big stage. Great stop for road-trippers! read more

Don't go for the food. Really an awesome concept with a car-centric vibe. Lots of neon signs, a few old automobiles, and old oil company signs, etc. Execution was lack luster at best in the dining area. Food and trash on the floor, food and service sub par. Hardly anyone there on a Friday night. No beer or spirit list which made ordering much more effort than it needed to be. It leads me to believe the main focus might be the larger concerts and events. Still worth a stop for for beer and some bar food just to check out the concept. read more

I'm giving 5 stars. Drew Cypert played. Talented! We got Cobb salad with grilled chicken and Fried Veggie basket. The chicken was from frozen but was really good! I'm a chicken connoisseur. Well chard with good flavor. Thelettuce, eggs, avocado, etc were fresh! I read all the horrid reviews. They were all 2 years or older. The ambiance was spectacular. Great for kids as well. Fried veggies were wonderful. The zucchini was a bit floppy but it was all good and good portions for the price! The prices were very reasonable. read more

Food was great and the ambience. Great location. Huge space, definitely would consider for party or get togethers.

The food was good. The service was good. The atmosphere was the best part. I recommend this place for a nice evening out

What a nice find! Loved all the signs, vehicles and decor. Between the 4 of us we had 2 ribeye dinners, a chicken fried dinner and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The men raved about the steaks being the most tender they'd ever had and quite flavorful. My chicken fried chicken was perfectly cooked and tender and was served with mashed potato and cream gravy. It was excellent. The Philly Cheesesteak was average. Not much meat on there but tasty my friend said. The fried onions were good that she ordered but the coating was not real crispy. Our server was very good keeping our drinks full. The chairs were not the most comfy but they fit in with the decor. The entertainment was good and I'm happy we were able to hear it before we left. read more

Food is really good and they have awesome events here to enjoy and have fun!! Service is great they are nice and friendly!! I also love the cool neat look and decor they have for the place!! read more

Great food and great entertainment, service was really good, good place to get away and enjoy yourself and friends,

Food is fair with many choices. We sat at the bar, and the service was horrible. The bar was understaffed and having to fill orders for all the rooms. read more

Best Sirloin and 2 sides in the Lubbock area. I eat there at least once a week and I can't say any thing negative about Cooks. The prices are also much less than most steak houses. Try their steak salad it's excellent. But the way, all their food is cooked to order and their sauces are made from scratch. Great service always!!! read more

Club sandwich was extremely dry. Bacon had no flavor. Others had burgers all said they were good but not anything special. The ambiance was great..loved all the signs...a little troublesome about dog in room straight thru and open to kitchen. Sure the venue would be great. read more

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 .

Awesome atmosphere. The music was great. I've came back more than once and the food is always good and service is great. definitely the best place to go in Lubbock read more

We enjoyed our dinner. Fun night out in Lubbock. Well done. Food was decent, enjoyed the music but the best thing was the neon.

Unfortunately I had an awful first experience at Cook's Garage as I was wearing a Mexican logo shirt... the bartender was extremely rude towards me and my girlfriend. When ordered the drinks, my beer was warm and the service was completely disgusting and sad to see such restaurant being racist towards his clients. It sadness's me that such place could still be open, not the first time I witness such treatment at Cook's Restaurant, other times when ordering food since my accent to speak English is "hard to understand " when I shower my ID and they saw I was legal of age to drink plus have 2 last names they kept asking me personal questions. As if I had to answer them in order to peacefull drink a beer! Like for real? I hope this place closes down or something as they are racist and rude towards clients/customers. read more

Great food, awesome atmosphere, dog friendly, and excellent service! Would definitely visit again! read more

Cook's Garage - New American Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

This place is awful. I do not recommend. The food is average, at best. The wait at the bar for a drink is quite long. The workers are not observing mask guidelines during the worst weeks of the Covid pandemic Lubbock has experienced. Top it off with a racist agenda, and it's a big no from me. read more

Pésimo lugar , fui dos veces , la primera tardaron 50 minutos en traer la comida y la segunda vez simplemente no la trajeron , cuando ofreció el refresco yo pedí agua , me trajo agua del grifo , muy mal read more

Service was atrocious and horrible. Waitress was prompt with first initial ask then steadily declined completely when food was delivered. There was no follow up by our waitress until we were done with our food. I could have died of thirst. No refils. All I had was water. How hard is it to ask and fill water. Pulled pork was absolutely terrible. How does this item even remain on the menu? It tasted as if it was from a can and sitting out for days. Did not eat it. read more

Our server was Amber and she was nice Good chicken sandwich and fried onion straws Some people don't wear masks but we came at a time that wasn't busy (Thursday around 9:30pm) read more

Fun place with good food. My husband and I were regretting we didn't get the steak which the others in our party got and it was delicious.

The bouncers threw me out because I went into the restroom and used it as well as washed my hands and the marks they put on my hands faded away a little bit so I didn't get to see the band I spent hundreds of dollars to come watch all because I washed my wands when you could clearly see the c on my hand read more
