Landmark Bar & Kitchen Announces Opening Date in Lubbock

The restaurant announced its Lubbock expansion earlier this year, joining existing locations in Addison and Fort Worth. It will take over 5802 W Loop 289, the former Joe's Crab Shack spot that sat empty after closing in July of 2024.

That stretch of Loop 289 has felt the loss of that space for more than two years, so a new tenant moving in matters beyond just one restaurant opening. Landmark's arrival gives the corridor another sit-down option and puts a former seafood spot back to work as a bar and kitchen concept.

For neighbors near that part of the Loop, it means one less empty building and one more place to grab a meal without driving across town. Landmark wants a crowd on day one, so plan around that 11 a.m. Start if you want to be first in line. Restaurant turnover has hit Lubbock hard this year, with closures like Velvet Taco making headlines for reflecting bigger challenges in the industry here.
