    Fried chicken
    Elizabeth A. H.

    Alex is our hero, he is the best waiter! The portions here are large for the prices. The chicken tenders were juicy and good. The fried bone in chicken was dry. We did not enjoy the bacon gravy it was oddly sweet. The house ketchup was good. Oh and the okra was awesome!

    Ok this place was stinking great !!!! Every sauce we tried was home made and different than any other restaurants even the gravy was unique ! Fried okra , cheese grits , & mash pot gravy were all items that tasted unique in that I've not had anything like it ! Delicious ! Chicken is so much food you can easily share as well . I don't eat oysters but our family said best they've had .

    Sauce tray (only $2!)

    Full disclosure: I'm on a Nashville hot chicken kick right now. For the past year+ I've sought out myriad venues as I travel for work around the nation. Honest reflection--if I could transplant this amazing fried chicken joint to my hometown, I would in a second. What a find; an absolute gem of Lubbock! I've tried several of Dirk's offerings, but I think my favorite is the sauce tray. For a meager $2 you can sample every sauce available; a condiment lover's dream! Don't get me wrong, the chicken is delish, fries, additional sides are solid. Service is prompt and succinct, and the venue is no fancier than it need be. I appreciate Yelper Justin T. who shared the history and social media support for Dirk's origin. Also agree with Yelper Paul S. and others who identify the lack of napkins, wet-naps, or other necessities of a fried chicken joint. Not sure why they skimp in this area?

    Chicken fried steak fingers and double fries
    Danny C.

    Was here on business and found this place and decided to give it a try. Place was alive when entering and full of people. We were able to sit down immediately and received drinks shortly after. Food came out piping hot was pretty good. I ordered the chicken fried Steak fingers with double fries. The jalapeño gravy was really good and the portion size was very filling. Prices were very reasonable and service was super prompt and always checked in. Definitely would come back again to hang out for some more beers and quick bite when visiting again.

    The food was awesome. I went with the less popular option, the rotisserie chicken. The portions were generous and I enjoyed a local cider.

    Narrow Bar - Carajillo

    Narrow Bar

    (7 reviews)

    I was out having a beautiful night with my girlfriend. Life feels special when I get to spend time…read morewith her. As we were leaving our very special dinner date, we were driving through downtown Lubbock off Broadway when a place we had never seen before passed by the car window. In perfect unison and harmony, she and I said, "What place is that? Narrow Bar?" We had never seen it before. Was it new? Were we just blind all this time? Narrow Bar has been around. We truly have been blind all this time. Through my four years of college and then some, I had never heard of it. Tonight would change that. As I reached Avenue Q, we turned around to investigate. Narrow Bar is attached to the Wells Fargo building with, shockingly, a narrow indoor bar. The outside is what grabbed our attention: an expansive patio filled with a live music trio and young adults casually having a great time. Was this bar one of Lubbock's best-kept secrets? Having had a few drinks already, we agreed on a one-and-done experience to try this place out. We were handed an expansive drink menu listing four categories: classic cocktails, contemporary cocktails, signature cocktails, and mocktails. I immediately eyed one of my favorite cocktails, a Carajillo, while my girlfriend yearned for the IYKYK (a Porn Star Martini). Our server took our order, and it wasn't long before our drinks reached the table. My Carajillo came with one of those big ice cubes (an actual cube), which was awesome, and the drink itself was really well done. Their espresso cold brew gave it a strong coffee profile that wasn't as sharp as other Carajillos I've had, which I think benefited the drink, especially being mixed with the slightly citrusy Licor 43. As for my girlfriend, she was really excited for her martini and adored it, notably because it came with prosecco. The space is really nice on a cool Lubbock night as it faces the street of downtown Lubbock. The band playing was not a cheesy bar band but actually quite good, pulling some deeper tracks out of their hat, including "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The lead vocalist had this Steve Miller vocal inflection going on, so I requested any Steve Miller song, and we got the always enjoyable "Fly Like an Eagle." They had no tip jar sadly, but my hat goes off to you guys. It was a short experience, but a great impression enough to make us know we're coming back the next time I visit her in Lubbock.

    How can it be that I have not written a review for Narrow Bar yet? I mean 12 of the 20 pictures…read moreare from yours truly, so clearly I like the place. Narrow Bar is on point when it comes to their cocktails. IMHO they have the best Chilton in Lubbock. If you know you know. However where they really shine is with their focus on offering a wide selection of Bourbons and Scotch. They offer the usual suspects, but they also offer several allocations. Did I mentioned Narrow Bar also offers Clase Azul Repesado, Anjeno and Plata (I think that is the other one they have). Their salad is also excellent with or without protein added, however I recommend getting the dressing on the side.

This new…read moreplace not only boasts a shuffleboard, they have pool tables, a few arcade games, a gigantic stage (think Karaoke, Comedy and Music), LOTS of seating, good lighting, big screen wall-mounted TVs and we have not event talked about food or drinks yet. Listen up, this place is new (opened late Nov 2024) so they are still working out the kinks. I say this because there are two reviews on this place that mention negative things. IMHO I think thus far they are excelling and will only get better and better. We need to give them grace as they learn and grow. ***So please READ MY REVIEW and ignore the 1 stars.*** The food we ordered was tasty, affordable and came out quickly. Drinks for the entire table were on point. Shout out to Chet who will gladly curate a drink for you if you are not sure what you want. Oh and did I mention 237 is located inside? 237 is Speakeasy located inside of Soggy Dog (at this time 237 is open Thur-Sat nights). 237 has it's own vibe and drink menu. PRO TIP: Enter Soggy Dog through either of the double set of metal doors. Yes you are at the right place. I will take pictures of the entrance on my next visit.

    What a disappointment. We were ignored for our first 10 minutes, then after ordering, the food took…read morea half hour to come out. The chips and queso were an appetizer but came out with the rest of the food. Queso was extremely burned so I asked for it to be removed from the ticket; instead, they replaced it with spicy broccoli cheese soup. Okra and fries were not cooked all the way through; seems hard to mess up food service frozen food, but here we are. The hot chicken sandwich was made with chicken so tough I couldn't cut it. The hot sauce was nice, the salsa was decent. My giant mug of beer was flat but at least it was cold. Overall: poor food, slow service. Was hoping for better.
