Good Food in Lubbock??

Ok--

I need to find decent food here in this city. Amarillo was easy-- its my old stomping grounds so I know where to go. But I don't know this town at all. What do you guys recommend? I'm pretty open to most kinds of food. I love to find places that AREN'T chains, but are good.

Hey girlie! I just had my first visit there this past weekend...don't know how mobile you are but I was recommended and ate 50YardLineSteakhouse and Orlandos Italian--both were really good. Enjoy your stay, I loved it! Have fun and best success...xoxo Ashley

I used to love this place by campus called Sazon. It is a burrito similar to freebirds and in fact is next to freebirds. I lived their sauces but it is only open for lunch. It's in university and broadway.

Burgers: Five Guys, Blue Sky Texas
Mexican: Lujans, Cancun, Taqueria Jalisco
Tacos: Fuzzy's Taco Shop
Pizza: Dion's

Thanks everyone!!

Yamagata has awesome japanese.

+1 on Blue Sky, Cancun and 50 Yard Line. You can't go wrong with any of those. 50YL has cheese rolls and mini blueberry muffins that they bring you with your dinner that are awesome.

How much I want to "treat myself" hinges largely on how many appointments I end up with LOL!!
