    We went mid week later at night place was pretty empty. Service was nice, polite and helpful. Ambiance was not for me but it has a vibe. Music was loud alternative. Place was unique and cool to visit once but not to come back again. Food came out quick all of our Philly's were extremely salty I could not finish it. Potatoes salad is good, a little too much mustard for my taste. Spicy Mac was really good. I'm glad I tried it once. Is a cool place but not good to ever return to eat.

    Stopped in for a few beers. Cool spot with a pinball themed vibe. Waitress was a gem and it was a nice hang. I would be back!

    Texas surprises me often when it comes to good food but to find a restaurant/bar that serves vegan cuisine blew me away. The server who also was the bartender was friendly and very helpful! My table was also a pinball machine! And better, the casual ambiance didn't have giant tv screens distracting a gif time. Next time I'm in Lubbock, I'll go back! Thank you Flippers!

    Stopped here while traveling because we wanted something different and boy howdy did we find it. Pin ball games everywhere including the dining tables. Classic vinyl LPs on the wall and decent restrooms were very appreciated. I got the Damned Dog which turned out to be the best chili cheese dog I've ever had. Wasn't too expensive either. Great place to go if you really want something different and unique.

    Wow! What an amazing place! We chose to go here after our time at the ren fair down the street, and it was such a good choice! The place is so cute, a vintage eclectic theme, lots of pinball and records. All of their food looks amazing, we got the philly cheesesteak and the filthy wizard hot dog. And a pretzel. The mac in cheese is so good too! Our waitress was so kind and conversational, she was quick and so was the food and it was all very reasonably priced! Can't wait to come back!

    We were passing through town and I had read a really good review on Flippers. Lo and behold we passed right by. I made my husband flip a U and it was the best decision for our pit stop on our travels. It's a very cool little place. It is well decorated and really unique. The outdoor patio was great and surprisingly cool for an August afternoon. We decided to try three of the dogs on the menu.The Damned Dog (left), The Supersonic Dog (center), and The Sourpuss Dog. All of them were very unique and full of flavor. They use a huge all beef hot dog which had a great flavor and the bun is amazing. It's hard to describe the bun, but it really makes the hot dog. It was very fresh and soft but with a nice light toast making it flaky. The chili on the Damned dog had a great flavor but did not overwhelm the dog. It was a great spin on a classic chili dog. The Supersonic used a garlic pepper jack sausage topped with a bacon jam, whipped cream, Sriracha, grilled onions, and fresh jalapeños. It was so very full of flavor and had a good bite to it with the addition of fresh jalapeños. The Sourpuss was a bratwurst with a pickle spear, sautéed sauerkraut, crushed vinegar chips, and queso fresco. It was very good also with just a very different flavor profile that really works. Our sides were the house made potato salad, the Gouda Mac and Cheese with crispy jalapeños on top, and Boulder Salt and Malt Vinegar chips. That Gouda Mac and Cheese was definitely the stand out of the sides. It had a great flavor and texture. Very nice and creamy and the crispy jalapeños were a great addition. Flippers had a very inventive cocktail and mocktail menu. The Saturday special Chilton had the perfect balance of lemon and was nice and cold. My husband tried a Beet-le Juice which was a blanco tequila, with a Bergamont liqueur, hibiscus syrup, beet juice, and lime. It was great. All the flavors together made a very tasty cocktail. We both would order that again. The mocktail menu was really extensive and looked really good. They also had a great beer selection. The ladies there were slammed but they were spot on with their service on a busy Saturday afternoon. They were attentive to each table and worked at an amazing speed considering I don't think that many people were working. Food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. We will definitely be adding Flipper's Tavern to our rotation of pit stops in Lubbock. I can't wait to try the sandwiches and burger next. Don't sleep on Flipper's they definitely are on top of their game.

    I had a lot of fun, even tho I was there only 20 mins or so. The food was good, get just one hot dog to start, get another if you're hungry, they are big enough for one person. The games all around, newer ones next to antique (on the wall) ones. It was fun. Bring your quarters. They have a machine to exchange quarters. It broke while there and they gave us a few dollars worth for free. It was all a different experience but fun.

    This is the place to be in Lubbock! Laid back, casual place where all the locals seem to hang out. Delicious vegan/vegetarian food options as well as an array of adult beverages. We tried the jackfruit Torta, vegan chili, deviled eggs, and Mac n cheese. All of the food was excellent and so was the service. We will definitely return when we are in the area.

    I am interested on playing the pinball machines here, what is the pricing of the newer pinball machines like $0.50 or dollar?

    .75 cents a game or $2 for 3 games. 3 balls per game with the chance of earning free games

    Unbelievably great!!! Our food and service was amazing and we can't wait to go back the next time…read morewe're in town.

    I think a quality dinner is worth the price tag. When you have someone you want to spoil, it makes…read morethat price tag even easier. I was back in Lubbock visiting my girlfriend after she had come to see me in Austin the last few times, and we were planning our weekend. I had previously taken her to The West Table to celebrate her graduation, and since we loved it, we knew we had to go back. Last time we went was an amazing experience. We had their arancini as our shared appetizer. She had their Roasted Beet Salad and the Grilled Rack of Lamb, while I had their Caesar and their Cast Iron Seared Duck Breast, which was amazing. We also enjoyed their specialty drinks. This time we arrived for our 7:00 reservation and were greeted and sat immediately. We both ordered a drink to start the night. I started with the Hibi-Jibi, a hibiscus and gin drink, while she had the Peach Ring Margarita. West Table is a farm-to-table scratch kitchen concept, so it's very important that you order all your food from appetizer to main course up front to give them time to craft it at the right pace. The West Table is at the floor level of the luxurious Pioneer Condos. It sits right across from their sister location, The Brewery LBK, and even serves their current brews on location. However, opting for their brews and not their cocktails is a mistake in my opinion because their specialty cocktails are truly one of a kind. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It feels like a ballroom and all the tables are well spaced out. In the back is the open kitchen where you can see all the chefs putting in hard work and mastering each meal. All around, there is great energy. We started with their Roasted Bone Marrow. I was worried about the idea of eating bone marrow since that was something I had never had before, but my girlfriend assured me it would be great. The bones were filled with an onion jam and lemon caper vinaigrette that were placed inside the bone. You could spread the jam and vinaigrette on their grilled bread, which was fantastic as well. It was purposely charred and really added to the jam's flavor profile. We then split their Caesar Salad, and it was a needed divider between our appetizer and entree. Their salad is a good portion for one person, and it was still satisfying being split for two. It was the perfect amount of salad. We got our next drinks ordered to go alongside our main entree. My girlfriend ordered their Fig Old Fashioned, while I got the "C" Monster, a celery-infused vodka drink with a name that sounds so stupid saying out loud that I almost changed my drink after saying it. Can I get the C Monster? WHAT A FOOL. The drink was really solid. The celery flavor was super noticeable, but in a good way. It balanced with the vodka quite nicely. For our main entrees, my girlfriend got their Salmon over Angel Hair pasta, and I got their Pork Chop over mashed potatoes and asparagus. The noodles with the salmon were strong with a very heavy Cajun kick, which complemented the crispy salmon piece, but my pork chop was the star of the show. They recommended it medium, so I got it medium, and it was delightful. Portions of the pork chop were nice and fatty, while others were lean and tender. I was a big fan of its flavor, and the sauce and mashed potatoes really added to it. Perfectly fluffy mashed potatoes. We closed the night with no dessert, but dessert drinks. My girlfriend got The Cold Fashioned (a mix between a smoked old fashioned and coffee liqueur), and I got the Buenas Noches, which mixes coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and orange liqueur. Of all the "nice" restaurants in town, West Table stands alone. It has a price tag but still feels fair. Everything we had was top notch, and I still think they've made the best duck I've ever had. Their waitstaff is attentive and amazing and really sells the experience. At the end of the night, she was happy, I was happy, and West Table proved itself to be the LeBron of Lubbock restaurants. RIYL: Specialty cocktails that make you go "Ooo that's interesting" and some of the best New American in West Texas

    I just went to order a burger and fries to take home after work…read more I sat at the bar top to order to go, and I had a tall beer as I waited. The burger took 25 minutes. I figured thats why it was so dry. Because it was done very WELL. I asked to have it a little pink, not so DONE! Then she asked if I wanted all the vegetables....I guess that just meant the piece of lettuce, a tomato slice and two onion pieces. I told her I wanted mayo and ketchup only. I found like 3 packets of mustard, mayo, and ketchup in the bag! So, are we to not only pay & tip them, but we are to put our own burger together? The only thing good was the fries (although a little too salty)....and the very OVERCOOKED burger. No wonder irs a bar, you need to drink all that beer to wash down the DRY OVERCOOKED BURGER PATTY! NOT IMPRESSED. Its just a burger and a "show" kind of place. Twin Peaks has a much better burger than this place! Even Burger King has better burgers...save your money, don't go here unless you just need to boost your ego, (I mean, its your tip, for the view)...lol Dry burgers. Get rid of the cook!

    On March 29, 2026 my wife and I went to your Bombshells Restaurant at 6407 6415 Spur 327 Lubbock…read moreTexas, a visually appealing spot. Got 96 tv's!!!! There being about 20-25 people there, how was our meal prepared with no culinary attention to detail? For example: my wife ordered the chicken fried steak, mash potatoes and salad. Her steak was so "bland and lukewarm" that it literally removed all sensitivity of taste from our tongues..., no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. On our drive home that's all me talked about. Mash potatoes were likewise "lukewarm and bland"..., then factor in the gravy..., exactly the same. Her plate obviously sat at the window too long or perhaps her food was simply "sitting there" waiting for us to order it. Her salad: there was nothing "green" about it, it was "all the white stalks" of the lettuce, literally 4 olives, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, 3 half slices of tomatoes with "gigantic croutons (that was interesting)". My "blackened chicken salad"..., salad was the same as my wife's; double-dang because I love salads and being type 2 diabetic and having high blood pressure this would have been the perfect meal for me. HOWEVER; the chicken was the worst ever because it was saltier-than-a-1820's-sailor..., horrible..., and drier than a camel's hump in the Sahari. I never knew that a chicken breast could be abused like that on purpose. So, how does such a nice looking place sell someone "absolutely ridiculously horrible food".
