Bone Daddy's

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!! This is our 2nd time coming in 2 months. Both times were a horrible experience!!!! Earlier this month we came and waited for over 30 minutes, we finally get sat and still waited longer for drinks!! Then AFTER ordering we were told they were OUT of everything we ordered!! We got up and left after having to ASK for our drinks and bread!! Today we came, wanting to give them another chance… The service was pleasant but the menus need to be updated!! How ironic the TWO items we ordered, are discontinued. We ordered, food was okay. While sitting enjoying our food the hostess comes around and turns off all the tvs, mind you it’s 4 in the evening. This was very rude!!! We could have atleast been given a heads up they are closing early!!!! I give this place a year til they shut down!!

Food was on point. Ordered a good variety from the menu. The service was nice. Libby was sweet and attentive. It definitely seems like a good drinking spot, but the food was a show out! Defending a good bbq spot highlights the sauce! The only issue was the fountain drinks for non alcohol drinker. But the margaritas were smooth and well made! Torpedoes for the win!

Great BBQ joint. The staff was friendly and helpful. The decorations were great. It has a good outdoor seating area. Music was loud enough to hear, but not so loud you couldn't talk. The food was great. The queso was delicious. I loved the seasoning on the tortilla chips. The Brisket sandwich is a generous size. The house made croutons on the side salad were excellent. The 3 meat plate had good portions. The chicken and burnt ends were moist and tender. The briskted had a good crust and smoke ring. For whatever reason the sliced brisket on the sandwich was juicy, but not the sliced for the plate. I little disappointed, but the flavor was good. The peach cobbler was outstanding. I definitely recommend it. For 2 people; appetizer, meals, dessert, and drinks, it was $85. We definitely each have at least 1 more meal that we took back to the hotel with us. So great value and great food. All told a good place to hit in Lubbock.

Server was Lauren was great!. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was really cool too. Watch sports here easily. We were 11 people and she took care of us great even being short handed.

Everybody in this joint is super friendly, makes you feel welcome, and has great customer service skills. The girls at the front desk were amazing and we requested a booth and they went and cleaned one for us so we could sit down without having to wait. Our waitress was at our table quick, I think her name was Lexi! We ordered an appetizer of fried pickles and they were perfect. My boyfriend got a big beer and big it certainly was! Mugs were clean and the beer was tasty! She put my kids tea in a styrofoam cup so it didn’t get spilled which we appreciated. We had never been here before so she recommended what to order for me and I went with the sticky ribs. They were good but I prefer fall off the bone ribs myself. She delivered the ribs with hot wet towels for my hands. My boyfriend got a pulled pork sandwich which he said was amazing! And my son ordered corny dogs and she made him laugh and joked with him and it made his day. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would return ourselves! Update: we came back and we are just as impressed! The catfish basket is to die for! The best fried catfish I’ve ever had. Huge plate with about 3 fillets! My boyfriend had the 3 meat combo and the burnt ends were so good!!! The tail pipes appetizer was a big hit for me!!

This has to be the worst BBQ in Texas! Bill Miller's is such a better option. With that said, we are in Texas where BBQ reigns King. You would expect to find decent BBQ even at its worst. This place really dropped the bar and severely lowered its standards to be a BBQ restaurant. How is it surviving? You got me?.... To the experience and food! We came here for the first time thinking this might be a cool place to relax and have some decent BBQ. We didn't get any of that from here. We chose to sit at the bar because there was no hostess waiting on anyone. Upon sitting down, the bar was nasty and sticky. The bartender that was working a very slow establishment ignored us until we were getting ready to leave. Finally, a little recognition and we thought things might improve. They did not. She took our drink order, then flipped around and proceeded to do other things. After about 15 minutes, she finally poured our beer. Then, she took our order. We ordered the Pit Master a $50 spread because we wanted to see if this place was worth coming back to. The short answer is, it is not! The Pit Master comes with brisket, sausage, pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and burnt ends with two sides and some bread. Looks are deceiving. From the looks of it, everything looked editable and possibly delicious. It wasn't! The brisket had dirty smoke flavor. It was dry under season, lacking a good bark and smoke ring. We didn't eat this. The pulled pork had that sewer smell and rancid old pork taste. This was trashed. The chicken appeared to be that frozen flattened chicken breast. It was dehydrated, hard as a rock, and super chewy. This was discarded. The pork ribs were tender but old as well. They were almost Jerky, like with that hard meat on the outside and tender dry meat in the middle. We didn't finish these either. The burnt ends were straight awful nasty, dirty smoke flavor, hard, and so chewy you could break your jaw on them. Had to spit these out. The sausage was the only thing that could pass as editable, but it was not good with that old fat taste. It was cut nice, at least. But this was also disposed of. We ordered green beans and Mac and Cheese with our food. The green beans were nasty. The broth was like slime. It was as if they had a bunch of leftover green beans from days prior and kept reheating them, adding fresh green beans in the mix daily to make them seem fresh. You'll see the overcooked, almost yellow green beans mixed in with the fresh green, green beans. That gray broth you see is the snot like juice that they were cooked in. The Mac and Cheese was actually good, no complaints here. This whole time, the bartender ignored us just about. But we were not the only ones she did it to. We noticed she didn't give any attention to the couples at the bar but catered to the single guys every need. Looking at the other people's frustration, we knew we were not the only ones. After everything, we got the check. Two beers, crap food spread called the Pit Master and horrible service our bill was $84! It's definitely not worth it and never going back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING ANYWHERE, BUT HERE!!!

10 out of 10, the atmosphere was very nice. The food was great, hearty portions extremely savory meats, and had the TX Old fashioned cocktail made with their house whiskey. 1st time visiting Lubbock. I'm glad we chose this place. I was not disappointed.

Wife ordered a top shelf margarita and it tastes like the sweet and sour, no alcohol at all. Very disappointing, to pay for a top shelf margarita and it’s missing the alcohol and the size of the drink is ridiculous. We were the only customers in the establishment and placed our order, and been waiting and watching our waitress walk back and forth from the bar to the kitchen. I stand corrected two more people came in. I ordered the two meat plate. I get more food at HEB bbq for less money.

My father suggested Bone Daddy since he had passed it while in Lubbock. Great idea! Good service along with light yeast rolls and flavorful BBQ sauce for my brisket sandwich. Bun was fresh and had great texture. Fried okra had nice seasoning and fried perfectly. Mac & cheese was super creamy. Really enjoyed our dinner.

It's still good. Been a while since we've been here. Ate lunch. Staff friendly. Not very busy when we were there. Food came fast. Chicken a little dry or over cooked in nachos.

I brought my high school debate team here for dinner at 8:45pm on Saturday 2/8/25. We arrived and were seated immediately. Our server came by and got drink orders from everyone within just a couple of minutes. We placed our orders and had our food within 15 minutes. I was very impressed with the service here. The prices were higher than we anticipated and that is the only reason this isn't a 5-star. If I broke it down by category: Service 5/5 Food Quality 5/5 Environment/Setting 4/5 Value 3/5 Overall 4.25/5

Arrived a little before 2:00 pm on a Sunday. We ordered salads with chicken and brisket. We were told they're out of brisket and chicken. I mean, seriously, wtf?? Ordered water with lemon, didn't get lemon. Went to the restroom and the doors won't lock. What is going on?? Then, when we had to ask for silverware - twice - we were given a plastic utensils pack. Sixteen minutes after we were seated I got my draft beer. I've always liked Bone Daddy's but this was not a great experience. My sister ordered a go-to order of catfish and onion rings and we sat for 20 minutes with at least 2 people saying "it's coming right out" or "it's next up". Finally we had staff come by and say "you had the link sandwich??" No. No we didn't. They offered to refund the catfish meal. At no time did a server come by and offer us refills on water or other drinks. The lady who thought we ordered a link sandwich mentioned they'd "locked the doors" and weren't letting others in - I guess because they were basically out of all food.

We came here every night of a three night work trip. I ate here two nights, but drank on all three. The first meal I had here was the Smokehouse Salad. The salad was considerably well-sized, with pieces of "burnt ends" (moist brisket) scattered among the greens as were bacon pieces. The balance of flavors and texture was good. Anisa took good care of us at the bar. Second night: no food - just drinks slung out to us by the very professional Kirsten. The beers were cold and well-priced at Happy Hour. Our last night, I had the Catfish Dinner, which our bartender Kinsey said was a relatively new dish. The catfish came out hot and crunchy, and the cornmeal batter was delicious. The sides of okra and coleslaw were also very good. I would come back here for good food and great service. This establishment certainly broke the restaurant chain stigma.

Traveling and needed to find a place that offered GF. I was surprised at the uniform choice of such tight shorts on the servers that I felt incredibly uncomfortable I was with my 15 yr old son. Not exactly what I was hoping for. They were out of the ribs so I ordered brisket. It was dry and everything else was just OK. I have celiac disease and they have a separate gf menu that is more like a suggestion. I went there because my gf app had good ratings, but it was overall a disappointment.

While in town to pick my son up from college, we ended up here after our first two dinner choices had long waits. I can see why this place didn't have a wait like it's neighbors. We were seated immediately. What saved this place from one star was the awesome customer service. We started off with their queso. To me, it tasted like jarred or canned queso. It was lukewarm, borderline cold. My son enjoyed it, me not so much. I'm guessing anything tastes good compared to what college kids eat. For entrees, we both got three meat plates. I went with brisket, burnt ends and hot links. I know places like this make meat in large quantities and not cooked to order, but just like our app, the food came out barely hot. The brisket was very dry. The burnt ends was very sweet and dry. The sausage tasted ok. For my sides I got mac & cheese and fried okra. The mac was ok and the okra was borderline burnt. Could I have said something? Sure. We just knew we were just going to get more of the same thing and we just chalked it up as a loss. I can see why this chain didn't survive back home in Houston.

We have become regulars since moving to LBK from HOU 6 months ago. Great service. Great food, and we've probably eaten at least one of everything on the menu. Casual. Comfortable. Love the burnt ends tostadas.

This use to be a more family oriented place!!! What happened??????? The waitress uniform isn't for a family restaurant. They also can try to be more friendly. The food was ok. Shelby

Had The Mechanic. It wasn't bad but for a $14 potato it could have been better. I'm having to budget these days so if that seems picky, sorry.

Bone Daddy's Lubbock is closed. they will take an online order and your money but when you go to pick it up, doors are locked up tight. don't order with them. you will not get a refund either.

I've been to this location several times and have never had bad food, bad service, or an inattentive server. I'm not sure why I've never stopped on here to make mention of that before until now but I do know last night was exceptional. I wanted a Bloody Mary and decided on Bone Daddys. Had no idea if it would be any good or not, but as it was 9pm on a Tuesday, I didn't have a ton of options in addition to wanting dinner with the drink. (Random time for a Mary, I know) When I drove by, it looked totally dead- to the point that I called to make sure the hours were correct online (yanno, because COVID). They were in fact open another hour... Honestly, I was not expecting much at the end of the day, especially at a BBQ place. I was literally setting myself up mentally for something dried out and not-so-great. Right off the bat, the bartender and server acted plenty happy to see us... if you know what a rarity that is around here when you're walking in near close... these two ladies were SO chipper and welcoming. Not like we were a bother at all. The bartender I'm told was a newer girl but let me tell you, shes got that Bloody Mary DOWN. It was perfect, and spicy, and not heavy handed but the vodka wasn't hidden. I wanted extra olive brine and she came through. Our waitress... I'm not sure how to commend this without it sounding a little bad, but I mean it well- sometimes in the service industry you just HAVE to push through- but I could hear she was kinda getting over a cold- She's at work, the closing shift, happy as a clam, and super helpful...while probably not feeling her best- so Tory/Tori/Torie- you're a go-getter and I'd pick you as my waitress ANY TIME! Now to the food. NOT ONLY was it out in great time, it was just as fresh and delicious as the beginning of lunch. I truly didn't expect that at the end of the day. It was even better than anything I'd had there before, and as I've mentioned, I already didn't have complaints. First out we ordered the Barky's jalapeños- they were great and definitely spicy...on a tolerable but noticeable level if that makes sense. I got the two meat (which is entirely too much food, so don't let the price deter you; you get A LOT) I chose the burnt ends and the sausage- both were fantastic. Okra (omg so good) and Roadhouse spuds (I could eat nothing but these). My friend got the sliced brisket- listen, it wasn't dazzling , but it was also the end of the day- I'd give it another shot. She also ordered sticky pork ribs which they were out of but subbed a nice helping of baby back ribs, and the menu doesn't lie when it says "fall off the bone", those things were DELICIOUS. Kitchen- kudos to you for still pushing out good food when you're probably super ready to get off your feet and relax. Effort all the way to the end really says a lot about a persons work ethic. I have enough leftovers that if i treat right, will be enough for two meals today. I need to visit this place more often and try other things. It'll be hard to do now that I've had those burnt ends though, I'll be honest.

Nice atmosphere, I like the decor. The staff is friendly and very patient. A family type atmosphere. The ribs have nice flavor and good seasoning. So moist and delicious. The barnyard chicken is very tender and great flavor. They offer extra barbecue sauce but I don't think you'll need it. The green beans are very tasty and soft. The Mac and cheese combo has soft noodles and very creamy. The sweet tea was ok. They offer adding flavor to it but I think the tea was weak in sweetness. The food was good and worth the price though not very expensive. There is a good selection. I definitely look forward to trying the assortment of sandwiches on my next visit. Thank you for making my first visit great and welcoming. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

First off, not our servers fault for the rating. We went after church today. It was 20 degrees outside and it was very cold inside the restaurant. We asked the server and she said that the air was cold coming out of the vent. She sent someone over that proceeded to argue with me. She stated "the heater was on and it was cold due to having garage doors!" I'm not going to argue with someone bringing us food, but when the vent is blowing cold air, the heater is NOT ON!" We would have left if we had not already ordered.

Service is super slow. Waitress gave us false information that our order was delayed when, in fact, the lady who stated she was a manager said waitress did not put in our order. We waited over an hour for the first part of our meal then had to wait another 30 min to get the last part. It took over 20 minutes before a manager came out to speak to us when we requested to speak to someone. There were no sincere apologies for the terrible service. Ribs were decent but otherwise food was just ok.

I was in town for business. The place had a really good old fashion bar b Que ambience. The service was great. I was greeted with smiles and laughter. The food for the price was very reasonable for the quality. I would definitely make it a point to visit again.

I decided to try Bone Daddy's because I saw they had burnt ends. I see the recipes for them online but never actually tried them. Boy boy boy were they good!! The meat was tender like oxtails!! It was sweet but tangy. I loveddd the burnt ends!! The okra was crispy and well seasoned. Now for the not soo good. The Green-beans were bland and the ribs were not falling off the bone. That REALLLYY disappointed me all n all 3/5 Edit: Cornbread didn't taste like anything. Was kinda soft like a roll but no taste.

Service and atmosphere was very nice. Staff was super friendly and attentive good country western good atmosphere. I was far is the food first of all I'm a BBQ aficionado I'm very picky! The meat had deep smoky flavor yeast is a A+. But the Burnt Ends to chewy for my liking and the brisket was dry. If they can improve on these two point it would be perfect perfect. The backed bean tasted like canned Hormel chili ! Coleslaw was very nice and creamy! I didn't like the touch of having the barbecue sauce in a warmed bottle. Very nice. I would recommend you give it a try...

The moist brisket is very lean and dry. It can be very chewy. I guess I should've ordered then lean if I wanted something this tough. Service was very good. The ambiance is great it's a very nice place. Just ordered something other than the moist brisket by the pound.

well the bar tender was attentive ,.. the Beer was cold.. the food ,. I waited for a half hour easy on a Friday evening with maybe 4 tables in the entire place and possibly 6 others on the bar.. the entire sheet tray of food was cold and had the appearance of food cooked days ago! horribly dry and overcooked,. this is a place that is one and done!!

Great addition to the Lubbock casual dining scene. Nice open concept, with lots of seating options and plenty of TVs. Great service. Here just for snack, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Queso & Chips, and was glad I took my server's advice to add brisket to it. Good stuff. Polished it off with a Blue Moon Wheat Beer on draft for a great finish. I'll be back.

I LOVE the burn end salad! The jalapeño ranch dressing is house made and amazing. When I am In Lubbock this is a must for me.

Excellent Food and service! Loved the atmosphere. A true gem to eat at while in Lubbock, Texas!

I remember the one In N Dallas and the great outfits. This one didn't have that scenery. The food. We went there for lunch and they don't have a lunch menu. We ordered sandwiches and they took over 25 minutes to be brought out. This was at 11am and maybe 2 other tables. The meat was very dry and disappointing. Even sauced up it was not even ok. Overall. Disappointed. Won't try this place again.

Visiting from out town, and stopped in for lunch on Memorial Day. It wasn't busy, we were seated in a booth with food on the floor; no one offered to clean it up. Very slow service and food was warm at best; and tasted awful.

First time to Bone Daddy's. My daughter and son in law talked about how great it was. Perhaps it was an off night but I can not imagine ever being willing to subject my self to the very poor service and had to ask a second waitress to get help. In my case the most mediocre chicken fried steak I have every had. Green beans were total mush. The biscuits were the highlife of the meal. If you choose to venture forth, you have been forewarned.

This is honestly the worst BBQ I've ever had. The brisket was as dry as the Sahara. My daughter took one look at the ribs d said "I'm gonna nope out on that". All 3 of the burnt end squares I received on my 3 "meat" platter were cousins of chalk. I had tried this place once before back when it first opened and even then it wasn't great but I assumed it was opening week problems that needed to be remedied. I was wrong. The service was great but I wasted 100$ on food and won't ever be back. Anyone that knowingly passes that food out to a customer either doesn't give a crap or has zero idea what they are doing. You can smash some BBQ at plenty of other places in and around town. Skip this one though.

Not a fan. Service was great although 2 servers were at the table next to us talking to the people the entire length of our meal! The food was ok, just not for my taste buds...the meat taste like liquid smoke and the baked potato casserole was watery and bland. The macaroni's were good and the bread was good. The tea tasted dirty..idk just not a good experience.

This was mediocre. The service was sub par. We saw waitress to order and pay check. The bloody mary was tasty but all ice so got about 5 drinks. Macoronis were tasty and the ribs were good. The wait staff needs some work. Traveling through but would not recommend or return.

Took a long time to come out and the max and cheese is a little too cheesy but over all it's pretty good so coke at ur choice!!

Kirstin is the BEST bartenderess in LUBBOCK! works hard, attentive to customer needs/wants... i'll be back just for her service.

This place is awesome! Had a side salad instead of sides. The entire salad was crisp and fresh. Ordered the 2 meat plate. Hubby had ribs and brisket - I had burnt ends and turkey. All of this was moist and cooked to perfection. Wings - Cajun style - perfect! Highly recommend this place.

So glad this Bone Daddy''s is still open! I miss my Bone Daddy's in Austin,TX so I make it a point to stop in at this location on my way to and from my family trips to New Mexico. The ladies are always super awesome behind the bar and the beer is always cold! I love the smoked wings the most and hope that the beer can chicken comes back someday!

The food is really great and my husband and I eat there often BUT I can't believe how many times we have gone at 11:00 and the kitchen has not prepared the food and drinks before opening. This time there was no ice tea or croutons for the salad! Not as bad as other visits but come on people, get there in time to open at 11:00 or open at 12:00!!!!!

I went here with my brother and sister in law while I was visiting them in Lubbock. We enjoyed ourselves. The waitresses were very nice and made our time there fun.

We were driving by and decided to stop since their was a large crowd. The staff seemed nice, but a little stand offish. My wife felt they were really over priced and decided to not order $14 for a brisket sandwich, beans and fries. I felt they were comparable in price to others places. However, the food is not comparable to other places. The brisket was okay. I didn't taste smoke. It looked smoked, but that was it. The portion size was smaller then most. I would say about six slices of thin cut meat. I couldn't get a photo because of my son grabbing the sandwich. The BBQ sauce was okay. Nothing to write home about. The fries were double salted. Yuck! How my 2 year old ate them I don't know. He was hungry. The beans were beans. Nothing great. Now when I bite into the sandwich the bun was like leather. How the cook managed that? I ate the meat out of the sandwich and left the bun. Overall, horrible first time experience.

Meh... when you are in Texas, you're expecting great BBQ! I'm from California and have had much better! The service was great (disregarding the extra rude hostess Megan) Overall just okay... which is sad. I had hoped for better BBQ in Texas.

Easy and quick seating. Went outside because the weather was perfect. Everyone wearing masks and we feel very comfortable so far. Got the appetizer chips and queso. Love it. Get the brisket ends added. It's worth it. Got our meals really quick. Everything was perfect except could have used more sauce on the Carolina sandwich. Had the club and the yardbird as well. Loved it all. Didn't expect the yardbird to be dark meat but it really made the sandwich better. No complaints about service or food. We will be back. Forgot to mention. The Mac n cheese was out of this world. Fantastic!!

In case your wondering what an 11 dollar salad looked like...it's disappointing. I could have and should have made this at home. Also I asked for tomatoes and it had tomatoes anyway.

Very friendly staff. 5 stars on the service all the way around. Nice environment. All the makings of a top shelf restaurant. But the barbecue itself is on the level of Rudy's or Luby's. There's more meat on the ribs at a Chili's. The Brisket must be select. Has to be a prepackaged brisket shipped in and warmed up. Sausage is straight from the grocery store. Really expected a lot more by the looks of the place, especially at $19 a plate. I wasn't exactly expecting Franklin's or Black's, but something better than Sam's Club brisket would have been nice.

Decided to try this location out today while in Lubbock. Not bad food at all, but the only negative comment I have are the ranch style beans (brown sugar, bbq sauce and bacon) and call them the best beans around. Not for me, sorry not what I would serve with the great Daddy Burger!

The Brisket was Dry and probably frozen. The sausage was not grilled , microwaved And the Pork Ribs were thickly coated in BBQ sauce and burned

I have went to Bone Daddys several times the last few months. The food has always been very good. The onion rings are the best I think I have ever eaten.I usually have the 2 meat combo with turkey and brisket. The meat is always smoked to perfection and the flavor is near perfect. The sides are always very good as well. A little pricey but one gets alot of food for the money. well worth your time.

Great food and great service. The best fried okra I have eaten in many years. Homemade not frozen for sure. Queso with brisket was over the top. Great price to eat.

Ate lunch with my son and granddaughter Wednesday and it was so good. Between the 3 of us, we shared Burnt ends, brisket, and ribs and they were all good but I really enjoyed the ends. Fried okra was delicious, Mac and cheese very good, potato salad lacked seasoning and the beans were tasty. No room for dessert but do look forward to a return visit

Apparently Bone Daddy is a double entendres. The whole wait staff is too young and attractive for it to be a coincidence. As for food I had the burnt ends and pork ribs. For sides fries and coleslaw. While waiting they brought yeast rolls and sweet butter. The fries had a Cajun seasoning, the slaw was creamy and the meat was A-OK. Just over $20 all in.

Though the service was great, I didn't care much for the food. Although I'm sure others enjoy it, I'm very picky when it comes to my foods and when I asked the server what was in my dish (I don't remember what I ordered) she left out that it had onions and other condiments that I did not like. So 5 star service, 3 star food. It's a really fun environment to be in though, everyone is friendly. It seems to be more of a high school/college type of place to eat, not really family oriented, but overall it was a good experience. I'll be sure to be more specific when asking what comes in a dish next time I come by

I took visiting family here for dinner, super worth it! Kirstin served us from behind the bar, & helped us first timers navigate the menu and decide on drinks, the drinks were bomb, the food was great, and the atmosphere was fun. 10/10 for a hassle free family visit with the food, so it's worth it!

This service was not great by any means. The food was at best average. Very expensive for what it's offering.
