    Located in the Cottonwood Court hotel, this is a tasty place for food and drinks. It has indoor and outdoor space and live music on certain days. The food portions are large so be sure to ask in advance. The service was okay when we went. I'm pretty sure we had a new waiter who was overwhelmed with many tables during dinner . It didn't bother us since we weren't in a hurry.

    Crème Brûlée

    While staying at the Cotton Court we went for drinks and dessert while listening to a great band! The coffee tinis were incredible!! They were out of bread pudding so opted for crème brûlée. It was perfect. Sam was a super friendly and fast waitress!

    Poached egg

    My absolute favorite is the poached egg breakfast and add roasted jalapeños. It is delicious and I look forward to eating this for breakfast every time we are here for the cotton convention. The Midnight Benny Florentine is delicious! The avocado toast is tasty too!

    My wife and I stopped in for an afternoon drink and an app before our dinner just down the road a few blocks at the West Table. They have 6 local-ish brews on tap and I enjoyed sipping on my Hefewezien. The wife liked her white sangria. The kitchen doesn't open til 5pm, so food choices were limited to Chicharrones or chips with queso. Chips and queso were ok, queso could have been served hotter. Good service from the bartender.

    Horned toad

    So.... this review is based on drinks and dessert. The drinks are "okay." We had the Chilton, Chilton Plus, and a Horned Toad. None were great. We had just come from Double Nickel and had some amazing Chiltons, so maybe that hurt our pallets. We also had the Apple Skillet Cake. Our server said this was his favorite, but unfortunately it tasted like a boxed mix, with some fresh apple thrown in, topped with blue bell ice cream. The environment of the place is awesome, but the food and drinks are subpar.

    I ate before I took the pict... that should tell you something

    OK, so I usually write my thoughts while I am in the restaurant.... not tonight!!!! The hospitality fri people O don't know took the direction in a different path. This is a incredible place for everyone. Smile at the door from from Avery to the two top BARTENDERS in Lubbock TX . Morgan and Amber. They serve more the cocktails.... They serve KINDNESS. Food was fantastic.... try the Salmon or Tomahawk.... Sean the bar manager delivers a true TEXAS CARING experience... try it ........ seriously try it. Mr Chef great job even i didn't get your name.

    Double cheeseburger

    Lively bar, live music, great service from Connor! We got three entrees--pork chop, flank steak with chimichurri sauce and double cheeseburger. Everything was fresh, well seasoned and presented beautifully. I had the pork and was very pleased with it--meat temperature was perfect (it can be easy to overcook pork). Great upscale, but not fussy, dinner spot in LBK.

    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.

There were tons of young parents with their babies and toddlers in here at about 1 pm. There was a baby-changing station in the large stall of the women's restroom. Because I didn't know how long they would take getting our food out, I requested our drinks in to-go cups which seemed small. The strawberry lavender lemonade was not what I originally wanted, but it was okay ($6.50). My daughter's Strawberry Shortcake Dirty Soda ($3.95) was absolutely delicious. For food, oddly we both gravitated to the "Bennys: The Art of Hollandaise." While it wasn't the best hollandaise sauce I have ever tried, it was good on the "Smashed Avocado Benny" ($16.50). My daughter ate almost all of her "Bella Bella Benny" ($15.25) which came with prosciutto she loved. Both plates were served with house hash browns that were cooked just right and not too greasy. INDOOR/OUTDOOR DINING There was a dust storm rolling through town on February 17, 2026, so we dined inside, but there *is* an outdoor patio that looked fabulous. PITFALLS They were out of the "Rejuvenate" juice I wanted. The restrooms and the dining area could have been cleaner plus our waitress, Ellie, could have remembered items a bit better - hence the star knocked off. TIPS + free parking in a plaza lot + close to Texas Tech University + a shortlist of cocktails was available RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4.5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4| Price: 4

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".
