Alyse Grizzle if you’re looking for an out-of-texas experience with five-star hospitality, la diosa is the destination for you. i received wonderful service and recommendations from my bartender and the broiled spanish sardines were exactly what i needed for an early dinner for one. bring friends and families here for tapas and wine to share for the best afternoon or evening. i will be returning!

Diego Minjarez Sienna, Alex, Lauren, and Diego loved everything about our lunch experience. Meghan took FANTASTIC care of us the entire time. The brussel sprouts and crab cakes were to die for! The lobster avocado BLT and chips were also beyond perfect. My friend also couldnt get enough of Emilio, and his incredible sandwich too. 100/10 Always ask for Meghan! This place, and Meghan, got hella motion twin. (We were also great customers.)

Larry Ray Reed Flavor: A Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: B Because variety is my love language I was won over as soon as I found my item on the menu - the combination platter! The chicken strips and the steak finger strips were both good. I thought the gravy, corn, and potatoes were a little bland (and none of them were piping hot). But the star of the show was the okra. Cut in long strips rather than small pieces, battered with tons of flavor, and perfectly fried. And if there were a runner up, it would be the sauces - all of them that I tried were great. If only Dirks were around in my college days! But I’ll be back on the next L-town visit.

bryan Arias I went to Cafe J with a friend for brunch on Saturday. We both ordered the chicken fried steak (me with biscuits and my friend with waffles). The food came out savory and well portioned! I give Cafe J big props on how they cook there asparagus. The price was affordable for the portion. Overall 4.5/5 stars Would recommend the restaurant

Max MAX My favorite place for breakfast in Lubbock! Weve tried several breakfast spots here in Lubbock, but this is where its at. Definitely recommend giving it a try. Ellie was extremely attentive, helpful and friendly. Thank you very much Ellie. We ordered several different dishes and they were all so very good! The portions and prices were on point. I see some racially motivated reviews here. Were mexican and we didnt feel any mistreatment based on that. There were other hispanics there too when we were there and they seemed comfortable as well. Give it a try!

DAnn Craig The food was amazing. Had a boil and probably was one of the better ones I’ve had in a long time. Definitely worth it. Queen was awesome and we couldn’t have asked for better service. Definitely recommend!!!

sean corcoran Hawaii 5.0 burger is the way to go! Excellent signature cocktails! I had the Pain Killer, with Rum, Pineapple & Creme of Coconut! Can’t beat $4 Domestic & $5 Import Bottle Beers. Cool Atmosphere & Friendly Staff!!

S L-R I came here while I was out of town visiting Lubbock. I like searching for new American or chef to table type restaurants. The West Table did not disappoint. I had the quail and brussels sprout appetizer, the beet and goat cheese salad, the pork chops, and in my mind, I had the crème brûlée, but I actually didn’t have enough space to fit that in, so I didn’t actually try it. I actually liked it all so much that I asked to ChatGPT “ are there any restaurants like West Table in Denver?” If I had ordered the same meal in Denver, it would’ve been half the size and twice the cost. They say that everything is bigger in Texas, but I’m telling you that the portion size here was huge for this type of restaurant. I could barely eat it all. It was crazy. And crazy delicious. I think that the prices were quite reasonable for what they were offering. I don’t know if you’ve ever cooked quail, beet salad and pork chops from scratch but 20 minutes to wait is really not that big of a deal. Everything came out with perfect timing steaming hot. It probably would’ve taken me like an hour and a half to try to cook all those things plus I would’ve had to cook them so that in itself would be problematic IMO. They also really very graciously accommodated my requests for gluten-free and if there were certain dishes that would be challenging to accommodate… since they make it from scratch they were willing to try to “improv” the dish or they offered a better suggestion which I appreciated. As others have said, the restaurant is loud. It’s not exactly an intimate quiet setting. But whatevs. My only regrets were: - Not having enough room for the crème brûlée in my stomach -Not having enough money to try all of the nonalcoholic mocktails - not drinking alcohol because I really would’ve liked to try the unemployed astronaut I’m not saying it was cheap. I spent $100 on just me. I’m not sure how I’m gonna know how I’m gonna justify that as a business expense. Probably gonna tell my boss that it was my birthday present. The only thing I think that West Table could do better would be offering “à la cart service” - meaning- can you please wheel me out to my car in a cart after eating all that food?

Roni Scott We love this place! Food is always Fresh and hot, it taste amazing! Customer service is top notch! Lacey is our favorite server, she’s fantastic! She makes us feel right at home!

Mayooo F It’s so cute and a great vibe! Different options than the regular Mexican restaurant and very nice staff! Very instagram worthy for cute pics!

Speaking my mind Went here for the first time from a recommendation. What a wicked cool place. Food was absolutely amazing. Get ur fries extra crispy it’s my fav. Great beer selection and a full bar. Don’t skip this place and please don’t drink and drive.

Antonio Heredia We were in Lubbock from Amarillo for a doctors appointment, had seen a review of this establishment, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived as soon as they opened, we were greeted by the friendly staff, I told them I had seen a review on Facebook, they offered us sample of some of the items (bourbon chicken, teriyaki chicken and general tsos chicken) all with amazing flavor and not dry. My two kids ordered half rice half lo mein with sweet and sour chicken (perfect breading, 90% chicken 10% breading), my wife ordered lo mein with bourbon chicken and general tsos chicken and I had the lo mein with bourbon chicken and honey chicken, portions were good or should I say amazing pictures will tell. We also ordered spring rolls, which we were gifted another order of spring rolls by the gentleman at the cash register which later he also brought us a sample of their teriyaki chicken that they make of the flat grill, flavor was beyond amazing and the tenderness of the chicken 100/100. Value wise, 100/100 (4 meals two were one entree box and two were 2 entree boxes 4 drinks and one order of spring rolls for a total of $57.00 + $5 tip), service 100/100, food quality (flavor) 100/100, serving portions 100/100 (we all had leftovers for dinner, when we arrived back home). We will definitely be back.

Iggy Rodriguez As seasoned travelers, we often search for hidden culinary gems, and our recent visit to this Lubbock steakhouse was a truly remarkable find. We were absolutely blown away! Easily one of the best out-of-town dining experiences weve ever had, every dish was incredible and surpassed our expectations. The happy hours $2 margaritas were a delightful bonus! Our server was exceptional, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and truly elevated our meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and pleasant, perfectly complementing the outstanding food. We were so impressed, we seriously considered returning the very next day. We cant wait to come back on our next visit to Lubbock!
