Restaurants
They have really good pizza and wings. I took my family who was visiting from Chicago and they appreciated some of the unique flavors that were there. My brother’s favorite was “the pearl”, while my parents enjoyed “the Summer of 2010”.
Parry's Pizzeria & Taphouse
They have an all you can eat sushi option on weekdays and it is so worth it! It only costs $20 per person and you can have as many appetizers, sushi rolls, or desserts that you want. They used to put drawings on the plates, but the last 2 times I hav...
Sushi Nami
My roommate who is originally from Mexico has said that El Mitote is the closest restaurant to traditional Mexican cuisine that she has found here in Lubbock. I feel that they have fairly reasonable prices for the quality of food and enjoy it each ti...
El Mitote Mexican Bar & Grill
My go-to brunch spot. They have a variety of options for everyone, and the quality of food is really good for a really good price. Compared to other brunch spots, I find that The Toasted Yolk offers more food for a cheaper price. I highly recommend b...
The Toasted Yolk
Twisted root specializes in burgers. They have a really cool atmosphere with a pickle bar, their own brand of sodas, and casual “seat yourself” seating. Once you order at the counter you get a buzzer to know when the food is ready, and each buzzer is...
Twisted Root Burger Co.
While it may feel like it is in the middle of nowhere, my family and I were impressed by the BBQ at Shacks. Everything had good flavors and nothing was dried out. My boyfriend also tried their banana pudding and highly recommends.
The Shack, BBQ
Stellas is definitely on the nicer, pricier, side of Italian restaurants, but the food is worth it. Everything I have tried has been amazing and I have several friends who swear by their mozzarella sticks.
Stella's Restaurant & Catering
Desert
A cute little chocolate shop with a variety of options. They have cheesecakes, macarons, bon bons, chocolate bars, and more. As someone with a sweet tooth, Chickies always hits the spot. Sometimes they put a fun twist on things and will have themed t...
Chickies Tasty Treats
I really love all of the options that they offer! They also change flavors often so it’s a new experience each time I go. All of the sundaes that I have tried remind me of a place I used to go to in my hometown growing up.
Abbott's Frozen Custard
J’s creamery is a unique icecream stand in which it is all outdoors and you walk up to order. They have a ton of flavor combinations and also offer rotating limited edition flavors so I try something new each time I go.

Cafes
My FAVORITE coffee shop in the area. They have fun seasonal or year round flavors. The atmosphere is cozy and a great workspace for homework, though sometimes it can be hard to find a seat.
Brewed Awakening 806
They have really good croissants and sandwiches, plus the atmosphere is nice to get schoolwork done.
Ninety-Two Bakery & Café
The inside of this place is adorable!! If you are someone who likes to have a treat with your coffee, I highly recommend. They have so many baked goods and snacks to choose from, and you can also order food from Miguel’s next door.
Paint Rock Coffee Co.
J&B has a very laid back atmosphere that i enjoy. The coffee is really good and the muffins that i have tried have been good. It is always very crowded and can be hard to find a seat some days. I have some friends who used to go to their Trivia n...

Going flower picking is a cute activity that my roommates and I bonded over!! You just have to pay for the jar and the owners let you pick as many stems that you can fit into the jar. It was a lot of fun and brought a pop of color into our apartment....
SkyGardens
This farmers market is every Saturday morning and it is HUGE. I like the wide variety of products that are offered, and can find unique gifts for my friends or family.
Wolfforth Farmers Market
The drive-in is such a unique experience for watching a movie. It was something I had never done before moving to Lubbock, and now my friends and I go all the time. They’re always showing fairly new movies and watching it either in the car or through...
Stars & Stripes Drive-In Theatre
Cleverly named, the art trail is only the first Friday of every month starting at 6 pm. It is right by the buddy holly center and offers art exhibits, live music, food trucks, and small businesses. It is a lot of fun to walk around and each time I bu...
First Friday Art Trail
I am not a golfer, but golf suites is a fun activity if you are looking for something different. It can be a bit expensive depending on how long you golf, but they provide you with clubs and offer a selection of games for everyone to have fun with.
GolfSuites Lubbock
While it is more of a fall activity, my friends and I always have fun going through the corn maze each year. They have some animals that you can visit and when I’ve gone they’ve offered hay rides.
At'l Do Farms
This was a lot of fun and beginner friendly! I had never gone paddle boarding before and with help from the instructors I was able to get it down pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an outdoor activity!
