Thankfully I only end up in Lubbock a few times a year for work. Â The last two times I've been to Lubbock I've eaten at this Caprock location and have been very pleased. Â They have a great happy hour, friendly servers and a darn good burger! Â Next time I'll have to actually try something else from the menu!
Review Source: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.
Food is great...I love me a Bison Burger....Fries...Happy Hour Specials that will blow your mind and Ginormous Tvs to watch whatever sport and whenever and multiple games at once! Â Clean and No Smoking...Awesome. Â The patio area and restrooms are cute. Â Parking is easy. Â Service....depends on which girl you get...some are excellent and some need a clue.
Review Source:Spent the night in Lubbock on our way to Colorado. Â I was shocked at the lack of places open but it was a Sunday evening, I suppose. Â We stopped here and were pleasantly surprised. Â I had the grilled chicken salad and my bf had the bunless, carbless burger. Â Out of all the places we saw in Lubbock, this looked like our best bet and turned out to be pretty good.
Review Source:Caprock was a sight for sore eyes at 11 pm after a 5-hour drive from Dallas. Great service, great atmosphere, the games on TV, and solid good pub food. Burgers with green chilies are the best thing in the world. And beer schooners? Don't mind if I do...
(PS - the spicy peanuts are addictive.)
I LOVE Caprock Cafe, especially this new smoke-free location!
I've been going here for several years after my brother introduced me to it when he traveled up for a football game. Â I have not been able to stop myself from going back since. :-) Â Every time I have been to either location, service has been prompt and the waitstaff have been very attentive no matter how many tables they have. Â The food is always good (you have to try the queso or the queso burger along with the Down n Dirty chicken tenders...soooo good!). Â Caprock has great drink specials during their daily Happy Hour and their beer is always a good deal. Â
Definitely worth checking this place out if you've never been before or check out their sister restaurant, Orlandos. Â Great customer service, great food, great atmosphere for a low-key dinner/drinks out.
Cap Rock was first introduced to me by a couple of friends, but was forgotten until I returned to Lubbock this past week. After a long drive we were starving and weren't feeling adventurous so after thumbing through phone books and Yelp mobile Cap Rock came up.
The restaurant is a great place to catch a game or just enjoy the weather on their large patio. Inside they have several TVs and a huge projection where we opted to sit to watch Monday night football. We started with their queso, which is probably one of the best I've had. We both ordered their BBQ burger which was the best frozen, perfectly circular burger I've ever had...I do mean that as a compliment...everything is better with BBQ sauce. The rest of the menu looked pretty good with their buffalo burgers, chicken fried chicken and a bit of Tex Mex.
Basically this is just a good old west Texas restaurant/bar to grab a few cold beers and watch the game. I'll be coming back for the queso next time I'm in town.
