Caprock Cafe

Chicken salad sandwich here used to be chicken salad on a croissant.
Today it was a salad with a few bits of chicken on a bun.  And the waitress said THAT was correct. Seriously???

Thankfully I only end up in Lubbock a few times a year for work.  The last two times I've been to Lubbock I've eaten at this Caprock location and have been very pleased.  They have a great happy hour, friendly servers and a darn good burger!  Next time I'll have to actually try something else from the menu!

After 22 straight hours of driving through the nothing to see freeways of Arizona and New Mexico, decided to take a break for the night before heading out to Plano the next morning. It was late, after 11 PM and we were hungry tired and sleepy. The last thing I needed was a sassy and rude bartender.

We got there at 11:30 and took a couple seats at the bar. That's when the fun started. The bartender came by and asked what we wanted to drink. While we were holding food menus she asked if we were going to order anything. We said yes, she let out a loud sigh and looked at the clock behind her and then left to get us our Blue Moons. Ordered the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas and noticed the word bacon in the ingredients. Since doctor's orders are to cut my cholesterol I asked for sans bacon. She curtly replied that it's cooked with bacon only but doesn't have any bacon meat and then continues to say, "so I can't really take it out can I?" Did I ask for your attitude missy? Are you mad because you got hit with a big ugly stick? Let it go. Not everyone can be beautiful.

The whole time in the restaurant, we got constant dirty looks, not a single smile or how you doing. I can only assume that this was because it was late. But guess what, you're still on the clock, your restaurant is still open, and your own people even said you take orders up to midnight, so STFU! Some guy who seems to be in management or may be the owner did tell us to have a good night as we left, so that's one positive word out of somebody's mouth at this place.

The ONLY reason this place doesn't get 1 star is because the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas were actually very good. The jalapeno was great with the beans and the chicken was incredibly soft and tender.

Too bad this place represents my only perception of Lubbock. I'm still looking for that mystical southern/texas charm.
