Common Questions
Where is the best burger in Lubbock?
Triple J Chophouse has the best half-pound pub burger in town, paired with house-brewed beer. Caprock Cafe is the Tech Terrace neighborhood burger bar. Cast Iron Grill is the classic diner-style choice — but note it is weekdays only, 7am to 2pm.
Does Lubbock have good smash burgers?
Lubbock lost its dedicated smash-burger bar when Hub City Burger Bar closed, so the style now turns up as a special or a limited-run item at local bars and food trucks rather than at one fixed address. Watch the food-truck listings and daily specials.
Where can I get a late night burger in Lubbock?
Something Different Grill on 50th Street is the drive-thru locals hit late, and Capital Pizza on 26th tops the local late-night lists if you will take a pie instead. Hours change by night, so call ahead.
What burger chains are in Lubbock?
Lubbock has all the major chains — Whataburger, In-N-Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack. But for a local experience, the independent spots above are worth the detour.
