I've always been an "it's the little things" kind of person, but today what was a seemingly small…read morething felt really big in my heart. I decided to eat a good breakfast while getting some major admin work done and went to Chicken Run. I ordered the Hiker's Benedict since I was specifically craving Eggs Benedict. But being neurosparkly has its challenges that show up in the weirdest ways. While I have a very open palate and can be a total foodie, I can get very weirded out by textures. So when my meal came with all of the toppings chopped up into small cubes, I simply couldn't enjoy it. The waitress asked about it, and I told her it's my own weirdness and not to worry about it. They still took the meal off even though I fully planned to pay. I don't share this so that people will abuse their kindness, but so that people will know that this is a business with heart. At a time when I'm feeling like especially sensitive about being too much, this little thing meant so much to me. I will absolutely return here. Thank you, Chicken Run - Lubbock. Your compassion matters.

I loved the Parisian Benedict! I would eat it again. The coffee was fresh and delicious. The…read moreservice was nice and friendly. My non-breakfast loving husband wasn't totally impressed with his burrito. He thought it had to many eggs and not enough chicken friend steak. But I would highly recommend.

Logistically there is both amble parking and space inside for groups of all sizes. Very simple inside and sometimes that's all you need. The service was spot on, even if a bit on the slower side for how busy they were. We weren't in a rush, so not a big deal. They were accurate, attentive, and very friendly. The chicken fried steak was delicious, and cooked perfectly. Their gravy was very nice as well. Eggs cooked correctly and had browns crispy. All I could ask for there! The french toast was good but not great. I'm not sure what it was that they coated it in but it had a bit of an odd crispy texture that was almost like it was pik-nik sticks (for lack of a better comparison), and while it wasn't bad, tilt wasn't my favorite. Overall it was a very positive experience with a delicious breakfast!

They took some of your favorite food combinations and made them breakfast items. Things like "Meat Lovers Waffles"! Waffles with bacon, sausage and ham mixed in.

I had the Fried Chicken Biscuit breakfast. Two biscuits with a fried chicken. This is definitely a "Comfort Food" menu. Every item was out, fresh and tasty. You have to experience it to enjoy it.

Our experience at Red Zone Cafe was a great one! Although we experienced a small wait, our waitress, Yvette, soon swooped in and began giving us wonderful service. Yvette is such a cheerful person - she really made our day! Not only was the service amazing, the food (we ordered burgers) was phenomenal. If you haven't been here, I really recommend you try it. Hopefully you'll get Yvette as your waitress! read more

Her smile and demeanor helped us feel that she enjoyed serving us. Our food was amazing. When we left I asked to speak to the manager and despite being busy Mike greeted me and let me be heard.

The ONLY thing that even looked semi fresh was the tomato everything else looked like it was pulled from the garbage. I DO NOT recommend this place at all. Deep fried pickles were good but Burger & lack of Customer Service, ruined what could've been a nice experience.
