Need Eat'in suggestions in Lubbock

[jkk831]

Eddie's is on the east side on east 50th is by far the best bbq in this area.. It is on the east side yes, but it is fine during the day time. For lunch time it is very typical to see city workers.

I have always wondered about eddies. I'm going to have to try it out!

Never really liked Cagles for steaks. If you really want the best, Double Nickel and Las Brisas are the best, but I still like 50 Yard Line. I have never had a bad steak at 50 Yard line and I have eaten there for a long, long time. I like Bingham's better than Rudy's. Stay away from Dickey's, to expensive and not very good BBQ.

This. hard to beat those blueberry muffins at 50 yardline!

Playa, what old place is this "dirty's" located in on the Idalou Hwy? It is funny how between all these suggestions how many at one time or another have had a bad meal or bad steak at almost everyone of the places listed. Never had a bad or sup par steak at Double Nickel either like Playa has. Everyone of these eateries quality all depends on who the cook is at a particular time. Most of the time, they are good, but there is always that one time the cook ruins everything.

Let me qualify my statement, it wasn't a bad steak at Double Nickel, just wasn't a $50 piece of meat.

Dirty's sits on the NW side of 62/82 & CR 2800. Its a little shack that the owner has remodeled. Dirty's is only open 5-9 M-S.

I have always wondered about eddies. I'm going to have to try it out!

Meet me for lunch on Friday ?

I won't get into eating places, been too long since I have run around Lubbock, and things have changed too much.

My son is leaving this morning from Wellington headed down there for the convention as well. He is on the Plant ID team, his FFA team won state this year.

Good luck in whatever you are doing down there, hope you have a great time!

I am a County Agent from Jasper County. I am up here working a few events this week. I have a Volunteer receiving an award and a couple of 4-H kids competing. I am going to watch the rifle match today. My 10 yr old daughter loves to shoot and I hope to get her to this level one day.

Sounds like fun! Good luck.

Playa, I know where you are talking about now and I understand the Double Nickel statement.

My wife is up there for the entire week. She is in charge of "share the fun" and the vet science skillathon. She will be glad when this week is over so she can start preparing for leadership lab.

My FIL and BIL both have livestock teams competing. Should be interesting since this is the first time their teams will compete against each other

This may sound really weird I thought of this this morning.. Everytime I have a guest come into town I take them to Spanky's and order some fried cheese and fried mushrooms..

50 yard line makes a good steak.

Cagles is a neat place with good food, you definitely need to go.

Mexican food at abuelos

Philly cheese steak at hooters.

Fajitas at On The Border

Breakfast at the waffle house (I love their coffee)

Lubbock has plenty of places to eat.

[Coach W]

Oh and for lunch stop in at dimbas... I think its called on 50th and quaker and get the all you can eat fish!!! Its good!!!

With two sons going through Tech I have been to Lubbock numerous times. Gave up on trying to find good BBQ. Wasnt aware of Dirty's so may have to give that a try next time. For a steak, I go to Las Brisas. I dont eat much in the way of fried foods but I have to say that fried cheese at Spanky's is awesome.

[Cam-Mac]

Overall good food my pick would be Las Brisas. Never had a bad steak there.

[jvanallen]

Be aware that Eddies is only open at lunch.


My new fav BBQ place is "Dirty's" out on the idalou highway headed east, about a mile before you get to 2641. That is some dang good que. hand makes his own sausage stuffed with ground brisket.

Las brisas is by far the best steak for the $, cagles for novelty & experience. Double nickel for a sub par steak at a Morton's price range.

Gardski's for all around dining.

Lubbock Breakfast House for anything breakfast, I hear their sweet potatoes pancakes are great.

Pm me if ya wanna go to dirty's I'll meet ya there!

I know I'm trying to bump an old thread here, but was wondering if Dirty's is still open for BBQ. I wanted to try this place last summer but the building I found on 62/82 looked closed and definitely didn't look like the same place as pics that have been posted online.

Do you know if this place is closed now? If so, do you know if they have moved to another location or opened another restaurant?

Thanks for any info! I'm always looking for new BBQ places to try.
