First time goer. Was told by a family member that the cheese sticks were insanely delicious and the burgers were amazing. They did not disappoint! Quite the size of a burger and the Hot sauce on the Hot as Hell Burger was solid heat ! Parking is kinda rough but worth it if you park and just walk.

Enjoyed eating at this place a lot. Their food was very good and hot. The service was good and the food came out pretty quick. It gets busy during lunch time so it gets a little busy how ever we enjoyed our visit.

We were dropping one of our kiddos off at Tech and were told we had to try this place! The cheese sticks were insanely gigantic! There were 4 of us so I ordered 6…we could only eat 3 with 2 of us unable to finish our food! We really enjoyed the crispy buffalo chicken sandwiches, and the burger was good, too. Highly recommend.

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday afternoon so not crowded at all and very quiet inside. Had a Cheeseburger and fries, nothing special but hit the spot. Seemed a little pricey at $20 for meal and one beer but still better to support a local institution as opposed to a big franchise.

Spankys is a good spot to grab some burgers or chicken. Their fries and onion rings are delicious and the food was fresh. They have an upstairs and downstairs for dining.

Not from around town, decided to try this place out with some co-workers. Upon entry of the establishment, there was good music playing. It wasn’t too busy as we went around 11am. Service was rather quick at that time.
Our food came out rather quickly. Upon receiving, I had ordered a burger and fries. The burger was rather bigger than I thought it would be. There was excellent flavor. The fries didn’t have any seasoning, not sure if that how it is or if we have to ask. We also got their huge mozzarella sticks! Those were the bomb!! You definitely should get them!!!
Overall I was pretty impressed with the food and the establishment. The staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend!

One of my favorite places to visit when in town. I’ve tried several different items on the menu and have not been disappointed yet. The location was not far from the hotel or work area. If you order the cheese stix heads up they are huge! Definitely recommend the mushrooms and the hamburger and cheeseburger!

It’s a shame because it appears that a Lubbock favorite is declining from poor management. The bathroom was disgusting with overflowing trash. The hand soap dispenser had the bag of soap that was supposed to be installed in the dispenser just laying on the sink. The tables were dirty with crumbs. The worst part was my receipt said 2:38pm and we didn’t get our two person order until 3:15pm (cheese sticks, chicken sandwich, chicken strips). Food was good, but the chicken only covered about 2/3 of the sandwich bun. We spent $42 on two people and ordered water. Not a $20 a person experience, that’s for sure.

Great burger place just off the Texas Tech campus. I had the Hotter than Hell burger and my wife had the Bacon Swiss Chicken sandwich. We both enjoyed our choices. I would have loved it if the fried okra were offered as a side instead of just an appetizer.
