Cujo's Sports Bar and Grill

Been here a few times in 2 trips to Lubbock. Good mix of sports bar and restaurant. Not super child friendly, particularly as they allow smoking, but seen a couple families come through. Good for watching sports with lots of TVs, particularly if you're looking for a Big 12 game. Not too pricey, good fried food.  Prices are great, the waitresses are really attentive, and the crowd is fairly mellow (at least if the home town teams aren't on any of the TVs... I couldn't speak to how rowdy they get if Tech is playing).  It's officially our post-family stop while staying in Lubbock.

When I first walked in I wasn't so sure I was going to like this place.  I'm not used to smoking in bars/restaurants anymore and none of the staff seemed interested in seating me or getting me a drink. However, I'm not great at first impressions so I thought I would wait to judge.

When we did get a table the waitress was actually very sweet and even though she was super busy did a good job of checking on us.  We drank the schooners and the food was pretty tasty, but typical bar food for the most part.  The smoke did get to me after a couple of hours but hey, I'm all for the freedom to do what you want while you still can.  :)

The best part was at the end. Then I saw it was for $17 for 4 schooners and our food.  I started to laugh and realized how much I missed college and those great college town specials.

Hands down my favorite place to go when I lived in Lubbock. Schooners are cheap and their Cajun Chicken Nachos are DAMN good! If I ever find myself back in Lubbock, Cujo's is the first place I'm going.

This is a smoke-friendly place and I was a smoker at the time so that was actually a plus for me. But I feel that is an important aspect to include in a review, since it does bother quite a few people.
