Bob York's Western Sizzlin, the Lubbock steakhouse famous for fresh, never frozen steaks, ran two restaurants in town, one at 5202 50th Street near Slide Road and one at 8301 Indiana Avenue near 83rd Street.
A writer at KFYO Lubbock News Talk confirmed both addresses by digging through old newspaper advertisements. One of the two locations was buying and serving an astonishing amount of beef.
If you grew up here in the '70s, '80s or '90s, you probably remember the steaks, the salad bar, the cheese rolls and the banana pudding. You also remember the cow. Walk through the door and it mooed.
That voice belonged to the writer's father. He handled advertising for the restaurant, and he appeared in the old TV commercials featuring a skinny cartoon cow. Because he had trade, the family ate there all the time.
