    The outside
    Robert K.

    Today the 806 Burger Tour had lunch at the Rain Cafe on 50th. We split their Green Chili Cheese Burger and Fries. Let me say right at the outset that the Waitress and staff were as good as we've had in the 18+ months we've been doing this! Friendly, polite and helpful. They actually cut the burger in two and served two plates with a generous portion of fries! The atmosphere was very welcoming as well. It almost smelled like rain in the dinning room! We will go back to enjoy other options on the menu as they serve breakfast all day and I love breakfast as much as I like a good Cheeseburger! The fries were really good. Crisp on the outside and hot and tasty on the inside. They had a unique seasoning on them that I really enjoyed. As I stated earlier, we shared the Green Chili Cheese Burger. This has pretty much become my go to burger and I blame one JT who 25 years ago preached the gospel of the New Mexico Green Chili! The burger was really good as well. The single patty was charred well and very juicy, the veggies were as fresh as can be. A generous portion of green chili added a blast of flavor. It came with Swiss Cheese which was a little different but proved to be a very pleasant addition . We got the single patty burger and it was more than enough for us to share for lunch. Heartier appetites may need to add an appetizer. All in all Rain Cafe proved to be a terrific choice. We give the burger .

    food perfectly satisfied our brunch cravings! crusted French toast was very good, exactly what other reviews said to expect. all parts of our various meals were perfect and considering how busy it was we got our food really fast! our service was super sweet as well! loved the homemade/communal ambiance (:

    Their menu where they have the nerve to call it a belgian waffle.

    *UPDATE: The manager gave me a full refund. Assured me that she was in the process of fixing the situation and making sure their food standards are top quality. My boyfriend and I ordered a few things. All of which were very disappointing. I ordered a Belgian waffle and got what looked like off brand frozen waffles. My bacon was so burned it hurt my teeth. My boyfriend's biscuits and gravy had no flavor. The hash browns were a bit raw and also had no flavor and the toast, well it was bread with the smallest amount of butter possible. This was my first tome ordering from here and it was truly disappointing.

    I've been coming to Rain Cafe for the last 6 years. I've tried almost everything on the menu. They keep the taste consistent and the service is A1+. I always wait for the same sweet server who knows my order by memory. It's clean and welcoming. I recommend trying the French Toast, you won't be disappointed!!

    Fruit cup they gave me only had cantaloupe

    Ordered a fruit cup on Uber eats and they sent me a cup full of cantaloupe and 2 green grapes. Wouldn't give me my money back. Waffles were super dry and the chicken was bland. Wouldn't rec

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Zoe M.

    I've heard really good things about the brunch here and decided to try it for myself! I ordered biscuits and gravy with sausage and a breakfast burrito to go. Both were decent! Tasted comparable to a quick easy home cooked meal. It was pretty average tasted like store bought tortillas and a basic gravy mix. Not a bad place, but I'll probably eat at home next time!

    This is the one place I always have to visit when I come to Lubbock. The crusted French toast is THE BEST!! (Sorry, I had already started eating when I took the picture. I couldn't wait!) The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. Perfect for any morning where you need a good breakfast in a comforting place. Thanks Rain Cafe!

    Tortilla ripped all the way across right in the middle smh.

    A must try is the French toast, it's great. The building could use a little TLC but the food and the service is excellent!

    Best breakfast place in the world if you ask me. French toast and chicken fried steak are to die for.

    Text a friend who's daughter when to Tech for a recommendation as we would be driving through…read moreLubbock for an early dinner. Text back Triple J, so into the GPS it went. We arrived early evening so there was plenty of seating. Our server was Megan. She was excellent. We started off with the sidewinders - shrimp and cheese stuffed in a jalapeno and fried. They were tasty. We also ordered the steak tip salad and went old school with the chopped steak. All were delicious. I even enjoyed one of their home brews - Windmill Wheat. We were too stuffed for dessert, so we ordered a bread pudding to go... Oh, my deliciousness - I had the bread pudding later that night, I wish we had ordered two. Highly recommend it!!! Great place to eat, fun ambiance, good food, and if you're lucky, you'll get Megan as your server. We'll definitely be back!

    Macie was our server and she was fantastic ! We were in town…read morefor our daughter's orientation at Tech- and we wanted a good local spot for dinner - and Triple J was perfect. Servers are all warm and friendly- and very accommodating - and the food is awesome! The crazy nachos started (with the wonton chips!) and they were insane - my wife had the green chile chicken and I had the smoked pork chop . Both were great- the sides were fantastic - really I can't say enough good things about this spot! Highly recommend - and there is live music in the bar which is great too!
