Rain Cafe

If it's not as good as your grandma's cooking, it's pretty close. Located off of 50th Street, Rain Cafe is the hub of breakfast eateries, but their menu expands further than the morning time. Enjoy their mouth-watering steak and eggs bright and early, or one of their delicious salads or sandwiches for lunch.

Whether you're having an intimate dinner with a loved one or looking for a delicious brunch with friends, Las Diosa, located in the Depot District, surpasses competition with their inviting atmosphere and superb wine selections.

The Shack

Bring a large appetite when you visit The Shack. From their smoky mac ‘n cheese to their pull apart brisket, The Shack is the place for down-home southern barbeque. Set your alarm, though; doors open at 11:00 am and close when the grub is gone. They may be located north of loop 289, but The Shack is the place to beat for southern cooking.places to eat Lubbock

Resting in Old Downtown Lubbock, Italian Garden is the place to go for the best Italian food for the best price. Locals rave about their Pink Parmigiana and complimentary bread, but the best part of their flavorful restaurant is its B.Y.O.B policy. So, pick up your favorite bottle of cabernet and stop by for sensational pastas and entrees.

West Table

The West Table is one of the more upscale and interesting entries on this list. A family-owned and operated restaurant, the West Table offers an ever-changing menu perfect for a date night. The menu options depend on "what's in the cabinet" and the chef's preference. This kind of restaurant is for those who love fine dining and new experiences.The bone marrow and bread are to die for.

While you can't always get dinner out of your apartment under $1,200/month, you should definitely try some of the delicious food that Lubbock has to offer!
