    Chicken and Spinach Salad
    J Warren R.

    When I saw the name, I thought this has to be good "Culinary Tavern." Nothing special on the menu. What I had was really good, tasty and cooked well. The wine list was pretty good as well. Service at the bar was pleasant. What this place really wants to be -- a sports bar. There must have been 15 large screen televisions showing various sports event. When the weeknight football game came on, it was blaring the broadcast. I mean loud. The Tavern was memorable, but not a very good experience.

    Stack waffles and oatmeal

    The service was good as well as the ambiance. However our food was cold, everything appeared & tasted store bought and not freshly made, except for the eggs . We ordered stack waffles with eggs, bacon , oatmeal and hash browns. The mimosas with J.Rogét champagne was ok.

    Street Corn Fritters

    Our experience was 3 star, but the restaurant is better than this I assume. Food was good but not amazing. I'd give it a 3.5. The restaurant is beautiful and well decorated, I imagine as the owners saw it come together it was a cool process. Very well put together. Our server was friendly but likely new (I hope). Long waits for plates, table wasn't cleared, finally after walking by several times I waved him to us to order a dessert. He delivered the dessert but didn't clear the entree plates which was weird. We spent an extra 30 minutes here just waiting for service after we finished our entrees. Highlights were the street corn fritters and churros, unfortunately they were out of ice cream which would have really brought more to the churros. I will go back and expect the experience will be much better.

    I had the pleasure of dining here this week. I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. Excellent service, Stellar drinks, and delicious food. I recommend the blueberry lemon drop and the filet medallions. Best green beans ever!!

    I wanted a good breakfast before heading out of Lubbock and saw the great reviews from other yelpers. The drinks were definitely delicious! I hate bloody Mary's - I try to like them but I just can't. My husband had one and idk what they do differently but it was amazing! The mimosas served with a bottle of Prosecco and frozen cubes of juice is brilliant! They were delicious!! 5 My waffle stack was great! I'm not a savory breakfast person but decided to try it and the nice surprise of the sugar in the waffles was awesome!! The only thing I would've liked to see to give it 5 stars was a few healthier options for those of us that had over indulged while visiting TTU for the weekend. But I would definitely go back! And the chairs at our table were beautiful and so comfortable!!! If you are ao inclito do me a huge favor and send me the information on them I'd be soooo stoked!!

    Nice interior, upscale bar. Good service. The food is notch above bar fare. This is a bar first, restaurant second. The onion rings were great. Wings good if you like a dry rub finish. Would I return? Maybe for drinks and lite appetizer.

    Was in Lubbock for the weekend , moving my daughter into her new apartment. Since we were spending daddy daughter time I wanted to take her to eat. We always go somewhere new when we come to visit her. This place is really nice on the inside and out. The hostess was very welcoming and sat us immediately. The waiter greeted us with cold waters and took our drink orders. Lemonade for her and Woodford Rye neat for me. The waiter gave us recommendations for food. She had the chicken tacos (lots of shredded cheese), I had two appetizers Nan w/ steak and prey bites with spicy cheese. Her tacos were great on flavor and a great portion of actual chicken. They could lighten up on the shredded cheeses. It also comes with cilantro lime rice and refried beans. The rice had a little too much lime flavor for her but the beans were good. The Nan was delicious with excellent flavor and steak very tender, the pretzel bites were lightly salted and very light and the cheese dip was well seasoned and tasty. We also had a slice of chocolate cream pie. That's was very light and not too sweet. It was very good (not like my aunts though) . Overall we had a great experience. The waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. I would definitely return.

    Had been there several times but the last time, the food was inferior. Everyone at table felt the same way. Hope they get it together.

    After having an amazing brunch yesterday at The Ivory Brunch House in Roswell, NM, I woke up…read morecraving something just as good--or better. While sitting in the Walmart parking lot researching places near where I'm staying for work in Lubbock, I came across The Funky Door Bistro Wine Room. I'm so glad I did. When I pulled up, I appreciated the ample parking and immediately noticed the unique wine‑glass door handles--such a fun touch. Inside, the décor is warm and inviting with wood accents, dim lighting, and a beautiful display of wines. The upstairs seating overlooking the main floor adds to the charm. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered a grapefruit mimosa and an egg‑white omelet with avocado, feta, spinach, and breakfast potatoes with caramelized onions and peppers. I was charged extra for egg whites, but it was absolutely worth it. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. From the hostess to the server, the service and timing were spot‑on. I truly enjoyed my brunch at The Funky Door. Thank you for a great experience.

    The food was good. Overpriced for sure, but good…read more Service was slow and not as intuitive as it should have been at this price point. Menu prices incorrect on wine, and about $100 more than cost. Kids meals came with a drink according to the kids menu, but we were charged $3 per drink. Extra bread for fondu was $5. And to top it off a 3.5% credit card fee!
