    Same folks but everything else from the building interior to food selections are new. Service was also way improved. I specifically liked the jumbo shrimps they're juicy and a little sweet.

    Outside is nice but Food is TERRIBLE!!!

    TERRIBLE, Service & Food was just Ok if that. Sushi rice was dry & very hard, the Hibachi grill was extremely limited with only a few items on it. The Hot & Sour soup was not hot or sour & was not good. Looks like most food had been sitting for very long time. Extremely disappointed .

    Food didn't seem fresh on the Buffett. Everything was very salty to taste. I think it could improve.

    The variety and options to get sushi or hibachi were also much appreciated.

    I've had better eggs foo young in other restaurants , I ordered the shrimp egg foo young when I…read morereceived it in other places it had three egg patties and whatever protein was ordered it was cooked into the egg itself which makes it taste the way it does the gravy which is the sauce is always in a separate container so you can pour it on when necessary. This time I received my order and they had little pieces of shrimp lying on top of the food itself with the gravy already on the plate disgusting it's not the way it should be done I will not be going back to this place again, even when you take it out it should not look like that

    We were in town for antiquing and thought we'd give this place a try because they have Egg Fu Young…read moreon the menu and I haven't been able to find egg fu young made the "authentic" way that isn't like an omelet. Boy are we glad we did! The restaurant is very quaint and clean, the service was GREAT, and the food was AMAZING. We had egg rolls, egg drop soup, Pork Egg Fu Young and Shrimp with Lobster sauce. The food was so good we ordered more egg fu young and an order of Almond Chicken to take home. The shrimp was so fresh and the chicken was tasty. I love how they put thin slices of pork on top of the egg fu young with the gravy. That way you can taste the wonderful, fluffy texture of the egg fu young patties and enjoy the meat on the side. We live 2 hours away but plan on going back again very soon, I will definitely drive 2 hours just to eat there.

    Our family celebrated our grandson's graduation from Texas Tech with dinner at Las Brisas last…read more night ( Friday.). There were 6 of us. Our waiter was wonderful. Our steaks were all cooked perfectly. ( all medium rare). Sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus were delicious as well. Great dinner and evening! .

    Last week we were in here for our anniversary (it was belated from October) and tonight we came…read moreback for my birthday. The highlight? Our waiter- Collin! Both times he was great. As for food... we have been coming here for YEARS, and the consistency in dishes/drinks is not there. It makes me extremely sad, especially when we pay well over $200 each visit. For example- I always get the Chilean Sea Bass- many times it's lightly seared, leaving the fish delicate in tenderness and flavor. Tonight it was like Furr's Cafeteria . It was heavy with oil and the outside was extremely crispy, like a deep fried filet- so discouraging. As for dessert, I was offered a "complimentary" one for my birthday, but was still charged $12.00 for it. I didn't say anything... but really??? I had this same dessert last week, and this week the pretzel crusted bottom was far too buttery and over-powering-- so not only did the "complimentary" birthday dessert cost, it also was not finished. Finally, the evening started with drinks- my choice, an espresso martini. At the bar, the lady asked if I wanted "creamy and sweet" and I said "neither"-- what she gave me was AMAZING! She said if I reordered at the table later to say the same to our waiter, with my name. I did, and ... yikes- not even close to the same flavor. Overall, we love coming here for the atmosphere and waitstaff, but the consistency in quality of food keeps regressing. It truly makes me sad.

    First, if you're craving Texas cooking in a dive bar atmosphere with beaucoup boob toob screens on…read morethe walls, this is the only place in Lubbock for you. There are other places--Caprock Cafe, Cujo's, etc.--that are somewhat similar to The Spoon, but the food here absolutely blows those other guys outta the water. The pizza may be the best in Lubbock. If you're a fan of the old Pizza Inn pizza, you'll love this stuff because it's based upon the same recipe. The wings are also excellent although I wish they'd offer an extremely hot sauce option. Cheese sticks are also top notch. As for the chili, the flavor is very good and the spice level is just high enough to make it interesting but not so high as to scare off Yankees and Californians. Problem is, it's fairly fatty. They need to grind their own beef and thereby control for fat. The service is decent. Neither great nor bad although certainly cordial enough. As for the atmosphere, it's pretty good so long as they're playing classic country through the sound system. However, there have been times when rap blasts from the kitchen and that's a deal-breaker. It absolutely doesn't belong here. In the last analysis, if you want an authentic slice of Lubbock and West Texas with some outstanding chow at a reasonable price, The Spoon is where you need to be.
