    Georges makes you feel like you're going home for breakfast or dinner. We came through Lubbock and stayed for two days. We were looking for a good place to sit down and eat breakfast. We were glad we found George's. You walk in...they tell you "good morning...just find a seat anywhere". Before you know it you've got a waiter/waitress with a smile in front of you to take your order and someone always walking around to refill your coffee cup....something you don't see much of these days. The food is home cooked, well priced and you will come back the next day, because we did, lol. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are back in your grandma's kitchen listening to all the folks talk about the good ole days. Just a great place to go. I highly recommend this cafe.

    A decent breakfast spot on this side of town. If you're looking to eat at a low key breakfast house that is locally owned, George's Cafe is a good option. Nothing really to write home about the food, although the fresh squeezed orange juice was very good.

    Good southern comfort food. Not pricey at all. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the wait staff was very friendly.

    I had 3 other parties walk in after me and I was the last to be waited on. Don't expect a coffee refill unless you wave someone down.

    Excellent home-style cooking. If I had one request though, it would be to put more lettuce in the side salad.

    Blue Sky Texas - Beef fried steak

    Came here for dinner. Lots of families and college students…read more Got the mushroom burger: lot of flavor from th beef however the mushroom was not coming through 7/10 Chicken fried steak was amazing 10/10 Lots of flavor from the beef with lots of texture Milkshake tastes alright kinda runny but don't blame them as it really varies. Recommend for anyone who wants a good high calorie meal

    Blue Sky Texas was a decent burger place…read more There are two locations as of April 25, 2026 in Lubbock, TX. This one is on the north side of town close to Texas Tech University. The parking lot was packed. I had to park kind of near the smelly dumpster and an unsightly view of a trashy lake or pond. So when my daughters and I walked in, we were not greeted. We snaked around the long horizontal pole meant to form a line. The chick at the register did not to be in that position. She was not nice. Did not listen. Was not courteous. It took about 25 minutes for our food to be ready. Your receipt will show the same number that should pop up on the number readers either above the meal counter or in the dining room near a TV. Here's what we ordered: Green chile cheeseburger ($11.49) Cheeseburger mayo only ($10.99) Bacon cheeseburger with ketchup added ($12.99) Large fries ($4.99) Small fried jalapenos ($5.79) 2 regular fountain drinks (2 @ $2.89) The patties were fairly thick. My daughter received several pieces of bacon on her burger. She was happy about that. The green chile was definitely on the very mild side. I loved it, but the juices saturated my burger when I dumped the cup on there. Soggy burgers are not fun. My bad. I didn't count that against them. The fries were really good. The jalapenos had a kick! The Coca Cola was super flat. My daughter let me try it when I was shocked by her admission about it. Lol. The dining rooms can get a bit loud. I could not hear my kids half of the time. Felt like an old timer. But it could have been that we sat between the food counter where you pick up your food tray and the soda fountains. Congested! It was the only table available at the time! Still, the entire staff seemed a bit moody. I did not appreciate that. The restrooms were decently cleaned. Overall, though, I don't think I'll be back.

The outside and inside general vibe is like that "millenial burger spot". Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but just so you know if you're looking for something different. I personally got the Kevin Bacon burger. It has bacon, blue cheese, and the regular veggie toppings that you'd come to expect on a burger. I thought this burger was good. The blue cheese wasn't overwhelming and went well with the meatiness of the patty which I felt was decent sized. Now the one aspect about Twisted Root that really surpised me... the pickles. They have a gah damn pickle bar! In these giant barrels! I don't even like pickles on their own, but the variety of options was enticing. They have dill, bread & butter, ranch, sweet & spicy, and atomic. It was really fun just getting to try the different options with the burger. They're all made in-house. My personal favorite was the sweet & spicy. Though I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Pickle lover's paradise. All in all, I'm really glad I came here. I'm fortunate to have had wonderful, welcoming company take me here. It was a good way to finish the Lubbock trip. I wish I could come back, but those cards may not be in my future anymore. Lubbock isn't so bad after all. I really am going to miss it. Sorry, got side-tracked. Twisted Root is definitely worth visiting!
