Stopped in here after a long day at work to splurge on some of the best fried chicken and catfish in Lubbock! I called my order in ahead and the lady on the phone told me it would be 10-15 minutes. I get to the store and they are PACKED! Cars everywhere. I walk up to the window to pay and afterward am asked to wait for just a bit longer. It's a nice evening so I stand on the patio and wait. I look inside the window at the kitchen and I see the staff working their tails off and making each order as quickly as possible. There was also a tall gentleman running food out to cars as quick as his feet were carrying him. They were super busy and, I'm sure, highly stressed. However, the entire staff was a polite and friendly as could be. My wait was not very long, yet the gentleman was super apologetic. Low and behold, I get home and the food was AMAZING as ever! I HIGHLY recommend them! Great food, great people, and somewhere that I proudly spend my hard earned money. Worth. The. Wait! read more

We have eaten at Dimba's for years now and have always been pleased with their portions, good hot food, friendly service and will continue to eat with them! Be sure and give them at least 20 minutes for hot, freshly cooked fried chicken pieces. It's worth the wait! read more

Best fried chicken that I've ever had! Definitely going back!!! I like their fried white fish also !!!! Wish I had some right now ! Lol

The food was good, the ambience needs some work but the service was professional and friendly. I wish they still had the 4th and Frankfort location. Best catfish in town. read more

Delicious! Love chicken livers and biscuits! Grew up with that many years ago! This tastes just like those I the day!!

Dimba's has been around ever since I can remember. It's locally owned and magnificent owners. It's consistently good. A good go to if you want fried chicken or fish. Big portions that aren't pricey. Great hole in the wall. We have always loved it every time here. read more

Awesome food at a super price and quick service. Pick up only, no dine. Don't be afraid of the long lines it goes fast

Great food at affordable prices! I had the chicken and fish plate, it came with fries and two breads which they call puffs. Everything including the bread is very flavorful and freshly made. Definitely a must try if in Lubbock!! read more

In town wanted fried chicken that wasn't a chain. Found this place called in an order. They have Take out or drive thru only, picked up food from outside window. Ordered chicken bits dinner which were comparable to chicken strips I guess - it was served with fries, gravy, two biscuits but not traditional biscuits more like Chinese donuts without the sugar, also ordered chicken wings and chicken gizzards. There wasn't much flavor compared to what I'm accustomed to. The gizzards weren't tender and lacked flavor. I'm still glad I supported local. read more

Went here yesterday for the first time. Was really wanting some good fried Chicken Livers and went based on a recent review seen on this site. We arrived and their were three cars in the drive thru ahead of us. When we got to the drive thru window we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. I asked for two CHICKEN LIVER dinners and one 5 piece CHICKEN TENDERS dinner. We paid and were asked to drive back to the front and our order would be brought out to us when it was ready. They got even busier while we waited so we thought this was a good idea coming here. About 18 to 20 minutes later our order came out. It smelled wonderful. We drove back home to the far SOUTH end of town. My wife opened her TENDERS dinner was oh so very pleased. The TENDERS were cooked very well and the fries were so very tasty and NOT GREASY. I opened my dinners only to find out that I had been give CHICKEN GIZZARDS and not CHICKEN LIVERS as I had ordered and paid for.... SO VERY DISAPPOINTED that our first order there was so screwed up. I don't like gizzards nor do I eat gizzards. My fries were delicious but the gizzards went straight to the trash. Normally I would have taken them back to the restaurant and complained. But after waiting almost 20 minutes for the order to come out and then driving all the way home it just wasn't worth the effort to do so. My wife was so very pleased with the TENDERS and FRIES she got. I am just very disappointed that I didn't get what I ordered and paid for. Not sure that I would be willing to go back and try paying for the wrong thing again.... Still looking for some tasty fried CHICKEN LIVERS..... read more

My boyfriend and I always call our order ahead before for pick up and it has always been a perfect order! We have tried a couple different menu items, but this time we got the #8 shrimpies and #15 steak strips. Both were beyond amazing, so fresh and delicious! Not to mention they came with a hot puff for dessert with honey, which we fell in love with and will be ordering extras next time! read more

After a rough day, we went to Dimba's for food and omg we were pleasantly surprised. I had been craving fried seafood of late and this hit the spot perfectly! We both got the (I think) the 11 combo. One with onion rings and one with fried okra. Overall, awesome place with awesome food with awesome people! read more

Great fresh food that is cooked when you order especially their chicken. The only down side is after their Christmas break they started closing on Saturday which is a bummer for me. read more

This is the best spot in Lubbock for Fish, Chicken, and amazing Hushpuppies and Puffs!!! The service is excellent, and the food is even better! We always get the Catfish Southern Style, Fried Chicken, and of course their Hushpuppies. The fish and chicken are always hot and crispy!! We love Dimba's read more

AMAZING! My mom is in town so we have been eating out a lot this past weekend and have had horrible luck with items being left out and food being cold. They ALMOST left something out and literally chased me down before I turned on Quaker to make sure I got everything. We got a little bit of everything. And all of it was perfect. Very impressed, definitely recommend. read more

SO GOOD! First time there and I got the southern fried catfish (5 piece) & a few oysters to try them and it's delicious! Definitely recommend and will visit again. The ladies working there were super sweet & the wait time wasn't too long at all for everything being made to order. read more

Great fried chicken and fried cod. Excellent portion sizes. Really sweet owners who love what they do.

No information on there site stating it's only drive up and take out . Would be helpful for customers to know if they are out of state. Poor customer relations. I hate to leave one star but don't want other people to get disappointed as I did read more

Best catfish in Lubbock ... period! It's especially good with hot sauce drizzled all over it. Try it now and thank me later!

They are so friendly and fast. The food is top notch- I love their chicken livers, slaw & okra . It's close to my home. Will go by for their drive-in service every time! read more

I read online that this restaurant is struggling. I ordered delivery. All the shrimp, filets, chicken livers were way way over cooked and dry. Chef LE Anderson used to love this place. Won't come again. read more

Fantastic onion rings. Best in Lubbock since the old Mesquites (old timers will know what that means). Southern fried catfish, potato salad, and coke slaw also great. read more

I'm from Houston so I know not to get my hopes up out here. Got the catfish and shrimp combo. The catfish pieces were so tiny and it only came with 3 pieces of fish and 3 shrimp. The taste is mediocre. read more

Dimba's is my designated chicken and seafood spot. Now that I think about it, I do not think that there is anything that I do not like about Dimba's. The food is always cooked to order which is fantastic. Don't be turned off if you order chicken and they tell you that it will take 20 minutes because perfection takes time! Those little bread puffy thingy's are so good when you put honey in them. I think I might make an order right now!! read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have a usable men's restroom . I was told it doesn't work anymore. I guess if there refrigeration breaks it just doesn't work anymore . Not to mention the service is horrible the tables are sticky. read more

Great food! And even better prices! Fish is my favorite thing there... tartar sauce could be better but it's not bad.

Food was hot and delicious. Was looking for catfish and theirs did not disappoint Good hush puppies , yummy cole slaw and yes the puffies are a must. Staff super friendly and inside was very clean. We will be back!!!! read more

Great chicken! If you drive too fast your miss it, so be on the look out. Staff is so friendly. I also recommend their puffs!

1. The lady who took my order was very rude. 2. That same lady treated my white fiancé like she did not want to serve him because he was white. 3. The food was disgusting, the fries were old, the chicken was bland. The only thing decent was the little tiny slivers of catfish. That was the first and last time I give a run down hole in the wall a chance. read more

Can't help but give this place a solid 5 starts. Food has been good here the service is good also ... I'm not from here but I can't help but brag to my wife how good this place is .. keep up the good work read more

Great catfish! Been going to this place for at least 15 years. Food and service is always good & quick.

this is absolutely the best fried catfish in lubbock!! . don't overlook fried chicken livers, their chicken fried steak, and any order isn't compete without crispy fried okra... in other words, dimbas whole menu is terrific!!. . doesn't hurt at all that their prices are so resonable that it makes no sense to go anywhere else in town! read more
