The West Table Kitchen and Bar

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical after reading some recent reviews, but I’m so glad I decided to give The West Table a chance and what a fantastic experience it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The hostess with short hair (unfortunately I didn’t catch her name) was warm and welcoming, and Mason, our server, was absolutely wonderful. I was there with my kids, and right away they offered high chairs and brought water without us even having to ask. Mason kindly let us know that the food might take a little while since everything is freshly made to order, which we really appreciated. It helped set our expectations and made the wait feel totally reasonable (especially since we ordered steaks!). The food itself was excellent. The beetroot salad and crab starter were beautiful and full of flavor. Our mains took a bit of time, as expected, but they were well worth the wait. They also gave crayons to my little one, which made a big difference in keeping him happy. Mason even took the time to chat with us, making the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I truly hope more people start sharing their positive experiences here, because this restaurant, from food to service, really deserves the recognition. Don’t let a few negative reviews deter you. We had an awesome time.

I visited this restaurant while on a work trip after hearing great recommendations. My coworker and I made a reservation, though it didn’t seem entirely necessary. The atmosphere was fantastic—dim lighting and an industrial feel made it perfect for a date night or entertaining clients. Service was a bit slow due to how busy they were, but our server more than made up for it. She was incredibly personable and made the experience enjoyable. As for the food, we started with the goat cheese croquettes, which were absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, my entrée—the roasted chicken—was disappointing. It was dry and just had an odd flavor, almost overly salty so I ended up not eating much of it, which felt like a big waste considering the price. However, the meal ended on a high note with a fantastic crème brûlée, just as delicious as our server described. Overall, I’d definitely return but would opt for a different entrée next time. Also to note from what I understand the menu does change weekly since it’s a scratch kitchen.

Great atmosphere but disappointing in the food and pricing. We ordered 2 drinks which were each $15. I thought when we order the margarita it would have been in the big glasses but when we saw these small glasses we were disappointed. Also the food was okay definitely not worth tab of $88 My husband got the beef tenderloin and he said it was great but personally think it was overpriced. It was $52. Came here because we saw restaurant offers bone marrow but disappointed again when we didn’t see it listed.

Our server was great, however sitting close to the kitchen and watching left a lot to be desired. We watched the cook drop shrimp on the floor and pick it up and put it on the grill. The plate preparation was occurring around a table with bare hands. Then we looked up and see dirt and grime. We’ve loved West Table but it’s not the same quality for what you pay.

Thank you so much! Food was delicious! Everything! We will definitely be back. Finally! I have a favorite place in Lubbock.

Overall an excellent experience. Service was very good, not rushed but never kept us waiting. Each food item was delicious. This is one of the few places out here in Lubbock where everything was cooked perfectly. My rare steak was actually cooked rare, our guests had pork chops that were beautifully juicy, and the quail appetizer was flavorful and crisp. Even the vegetables were flavorful and tender. Highly recommend and we will defintiely return. Reservations recommended.

The West Table is one of the best dining establishments in Lubbock. This gem is located in the heart of downtown Lubbock and serving New American cuisine with a twist. We're definitely coming back next time we're in town.

Wish I could take this restaurant with me back to Houston! We’ve never been to Lubbock, but I’m so glad we chose this place for our first dinner experience. Not quite sure anyone in Lubbock can top it. This place is exceptional!! Perfectly cooked food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere! My only tiny complaint is I wish the dining chairs were more comfortable.

Food was excellent, delicious and presented with great care. The service was to notch a very attentive , never better and timely. Loved the historic location and atmosphere. We never had to look for a server as they were always there. 10 of 10

I was in town for a work event and stayed at the Pioneer Pocket Hotel (also a great little spot!) Had considered going off property for a bite, but had been traveling all day and decided to take the easy option and just eat at The West Table downstairs. I will say, if you are interested in going, a reservation is a must. It fills up quickly. (and I was only a party of one) The ambiance was great, and very upscale. My server (ask for her - Stokes) was absolutely fantastic. She was attentive, friendly and VERY knowledgeable about the menu and bar. I decided on the Cast Iron Seared Duck Breast with Charred Corn Succotash-Andouille Sausage-Thyme and White Wine Demi. At $29, it's not cheap, but based on the quality and the portion sizes, I found the price to be more than fair. The meal was excellent, and I would absolutely order it again. What a great gem in downtown Lubbock. I will definitely have this on my list of places to visit next time in town. Definitely a thumbs up!

Great spot - cool building and space. Wonderful service. Food was too notch - the ribeye was unbelievable! Drinks - awesome. If you haven't tried it - just go!

Everything was top notch. The food. The staff. The manager. All of it. I'd give 10 stars if I could!! Cannot wait to go back.

Best restaurant in town. Pricey but delicious food. Highly recommend. Reservations are encouraged for sure.

We love west table! Absolutely a must in downtown LBK! Pork chop is always a winner plus all the apps!

I wonder if the restaurant strategy here is to make you wait for well over an hour (it was an early dinner and not crowded, and I watched the entire first half of a nba playoff game) so that the food seems so much better than it actually is. And look, it was ok (at best) but I've had waaaaay better food in Lubbock without losing an hour of my life in the process. Maybe just a bad day, I hope, but please, if you are elderly or terminal, don't take the chance of losing a precious twilight of life hour if you don't have to.

Service was great, I think I expected slightly more from the food. Goat cheese croquettes, delicious. Not enough of them but absolutely delicious! The quail appetizer was good, quail itself was overcooked but the rest of the dish was great. Then we got the pork chop with fried rice (which does not and all taste like any other fried rice you've had, not my thing but maybe it's yours) and the duck with noodles. Both meats were great! The sides were.. a bit different. And lastly the mixed berry cobbler, good, came out piping hot, but not enough of the breading for me. Overall, worth a shot. The waitress also told us to check out the brewery Nextdoor

This is one of my favorite places in Lubbock. The food is so unique and delicious. When you're here, you feel like you're in a different city. I love the atmosphere. I've had incredible service here, and I've had incredibly long wait times here. One night they were behind, the service was less professional and the food was lower quality. That said, the food is always good. Be sure to make reservations for this romantic dinner spot!

Sadly very disappointing experience. We ordered the shrimp appetizer which was made with Worcestershire sauce and the flavors were very off. We also ordered a wedge salad, the roasted chicken, and the cast iron duck. Our 2 entrees took a reallyyyyy long time to come out after the salad. Service was pretty slow. The wedge salad was good, but we were sadly disappointed with our other 2 dishes. Everything was soooo salty. We ended up barely touching the duck plate. This was not a cheap meal and sadly we hardly enjoyed any of it. They also delivered the bill with a $4.39 "non-cash adjusted fee" (without knowing if we were even paying cash or not?) on a bill that's $120. We did enjoy our cocktails, but sadly would not return.

This is a great dinner spot in Lubbock! They have great options and a vegetarian menu with additional items. I highly recommend the beet salad. It's so pretty inside and has an upscale feel.

Lovely service, the food was not memorable, very mid.goat cheese croquettes, Caesar salad, steak, shrimp - none of us were impressed enough to return. Lubbock can go much farther when it comes to atmosphere and the vibe of a place setting a tone.

ALL things excellent. The food, the service, the ambience. Superb! It is a perfect experience for a romantic date night with the one you love

Had the most perfectly cooked steak here tonight. Medium rare tempurature couldn't have been more on point. Well done West Table.

Ambiance was great. Service was amazing. Food was .... Less than expected. Chicken was undercooked and steak was overcooked with tons of fat. Two people was $151. Prime Cowboy in Midland is FAR better for price and food quality. We were shopping in Lubbock and wanted something close to PC. Disappointed to say the least. We arrived at 5:03pm. Was told no tables were available because of reservations. Pic posted as we're leaving at 6:35 with lots of tables available.

The food was okay, nothing spectacular especially for the hour and a half wait for our food from the time of ordering

Food was good, but make sure you have plenty of time to eat here - it took over an hour to get our salads once we ordered our food. An hour and a half to get our entree, from the time we ordered our food, and it was cold. We did have a really nice server - but the kitchen staff needs to step it up! Way too SLOW! Not worth the extended wait!

Everything is perfect here every time. The Duck in all of its iterations is awesome, same with the quail.

I've wanted to check this place out every time we've come to Lubbock it's worth it. Had a great server very attentive and did a wonderful job. They a great cocktails and choice of wines. I had to ask about vegetarian options and they had Pad Thai. I loved it. It has great flavor with a good spicy kick. I started with a house salad which is shareable. All the dishes are shareable. Very big portions on everything. Had a great time and good food.

Wonderful! The place was packed, so drinks took a little bit of time at first, but we were in no rush. Our server was amazing! He gave us lots of input on the menu options and was so personable and kind. The food was fabulous and we had a wonderful time!

Deceptive in appearance, the West Table-- located in the TTU district --serves up some savory dishes, handled by a more than friendly and adept serving staff. (I spotted the chef toward the end and complimented him heavily.) Highly recommend.

We had a 5-star phenomenal dining experience here. glad we made a reservation for this Friday 8 PM seating, the place was packed and given the quality of the food, no surprise. our waiter did an outstanding job. My wife claimed to have tasted the best drink of her life here: the Italian Spritz with Italicus Liquor, Prosecco, & Olive ganish. Pretty tasty indeed. Foodwise, we were both impressed from start to finish. We are 95% vegan, and this made the 5% carnivore in us both scream loudly. The Bulgogi Beef Lettuce Wraps app was crazy flavorful- the best flavored Korean beef I've ever had. Lemongrass and garlic gave it a nice pop. Ask for more lettuce wraps and chew slowly to make it last. The Crying Tiger Bistro Steak was amazingly tender and had the perfect amount of mint and cucumber garnish and rice to make it an epic entrée. The Char Sui Glazed Double Bone-In Pork Chop with Noodles entrée was a very close second to the Bistro Steak. Probably the best pork dish I've eaten in many years. It had a lightly sweet glaze to it which paired nicely with the the noodles and ginger. The Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream was a near perfect finish to our meal. Can't wait to try this place again. Pro-Tip: They also serve their food at the brewery next-door so you can try it there: Some menu items are the same but others are unique to each place.

Most Amazing Dining in Lubbock!! Stop @thebrewerylbk for a cocktail. Then Dinner @westtable

Trendy atmosphere and great food in downtown lubbock! Love the craft cocktails too! Service was outstanding! We will be back!

The food was excellent. Service was top notch. We loved the atmosphere and the downtown vibe. A great pick for our anniversary dinner.

Unbelievable! Best restaurant in Lubbock! Hands down! Absolutely incredible. Every. Single. Time!

A little pricey but oysters were worth it! Great food. Excellent service and beautiful ambience!

This was my second visit to The West Table. The food is amazing! The service was good, but very, very slow. We ordered the goat cheese croquettes (delicious), wedge salad and green curry soup, pork chop and duck. Everything was so delicious. Come check it out but be prepared to stay a long while.

I actually have dined here twice, on a very busy evening, & on a light day. Both trips were equally satisfying. The West Table restaurant, that is located inside the historic Pioneer Building in the heart of Downtown Lubbock, shares its residence with an award winning local brewery, The Brewery LBK. The staff is extremely welcoming & attentive. Food comes out in a very timely manner. I've had the pleasure to view the kitchen staff on a busy night, & their passion for upscale food & service shines. The food I have tried is full of flavor, cooked & plated beautifully. West Table has an appreciation for local ingredients, & use ingredients from within the City of Lubbock or surrounding towns. A big plus for local support! Do not expect chain or franchise type food. West Table looks to redefine how fine dining is done within the HubCity. The opportunity to enjoy amazing food with friends & family of large groups, or an intimate date night with a loved one, The West Table truly seems to be one of, if not, in what I feel is, the best dining experience in Lubbock.

Absolutely love it here!! My favorite place to dine in Lubbock, Texas! I love the appetizers and the cocktails. I would also recommend the duck here as a main! The "old man by the Sea" is still my fave cocktail and I would also recommend their Pisco Sour, Espresso martini, and I wish they still had the Key lime Tartini... but alas, they no longer serve it!!

We asked for the bar menu, as their appetizers were less than desirable. 5 minutes later we see them take bar food to the table next to us. Waitress asked the crabby cook, if she could offer us a menu to which he responded, absolutely not. Go to the bar, the food is cooked by the same people.

Elise!!!! Aka might-E mouse, truly a treasure! She truly made our experience exceptional- hubby wanted to have an appetizer and go to the next place... didn't happen. Elise guided us through the menu and made suggestions, all were fantastic. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the crab hush puppies, they disappeared too fast! Everything was truly next level delicious. Get the bone marrow- out of this world. We shared the beet salad and Asian beef dish, both were fantastic-the portions are very generous. Service is about the best you'll find anywhere- ambience is laid back, yet upscale and super friendly. They play awesome Americana music, not too loud- just perfect. We will definitely be back!

Highly recommend this spot for a date night or even just to enjoy a high end quality time with your friends and family! Their dishes are amazing and I have almost tried everything on their menu. They usually change it from time to time but always in the most impressive manner. Management and servers are amazing!!! My fiancé and I are regulars and will always head over to West Table if we are craving a flavorful steak! Omgg their desserts are something else! You will not be disappointed. I would recommend their crème brûlée or stuffed sopapillas! I also recommended the Baby Blue non-alcoholic beverage! All the love and support for the West Table Team

Great food and fantastic service, would recommend this place for a local flair or a special night out!

If you head to The West table do yourself a favor and don't drive. The cocktail menu has something for everyone and the drinks are prepared with love. So good you'll want to sample two or five. The menu consists of an excellent variety of flavors and combinations and they change it up every so often which keeps it fresh for repeat customers. It's set up on the ground floor of a boutique hotel and has a somewhat sprawling layout. It has a bar area which is somewhat small but cozy. The staff are super friendly and happy to chat so if you're on your own I'd recommend the bar area. You can meet some new people and watch the bartender construct liquid magic. This place is quality and highly recommended. Enjoy.

The room was huge and spacious. Lots of room to hang out. The Bartender made the place work! Knew everyone, got me ( the mercurial traveler) made really unusual drinks just right. I had three! One of which he comped! I asked him about the lamb chops ( love em, never find them) I hoped they were t going to be minute portion $39 ! Ok Caesar on Side with anchovies $9. There was drama going on among young attractive staff. They took a while but that was the kitchens deal and I let them know I wasn't in a rush. The RUB! the super delicious perfectly cooked lamb chops were a tiny portion. Tiny lamb chops good! Tender! But at that size a $39 portion needs more. I dropped $100 bill 2 paid drinks,salad, lamb chops. Lubbock Tx. The portion was perfect for a pretty waitress but not for splurge meal. I couldn't afford dessert. Maybe there's enough oil money in Lubbock? Otherwise this is a perilous business model.

Caesar salad and Black Drum fish were good. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night, but I would recommend a reservation. It can be a little loud in there but bearable.

This is a great restaurant, my wife and I had dinner with a couple friend of ours here. We ordered a couple appetizers to share, and followed up with a 4 different main course selections. Everything was quality, server was friendly and the restaurant is well done across the board.

This was a great place. The food, service and ambience were all wonderful, and it was inexpensive (I'm accustomed to Austin prices). We were just spending a night in Lubbock on a long road trip through New Mexico and Colorado, and this place was so good that we might return to Lubbock just to eat here and stay again at the excellent Cotton Court Hotel.

Tanner went above and beyond to make our experience amazing. The waitstaff and food were second to none, but Tanner's interactions with us made it feel as if we had known him forever, a true professional.

The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic. The best dining experience I've had in Lubbock. Our server was amazing and made great recommendations. Nice low key atmosphere and a great experience.

Good strong drinks. They dont skimp on the good stuff. The steaks are solid with a nice char and are sent out at the right temps. great spot for a good cut of meat.

Stop being racist serve all customers greet them as they walk into the door and assist everyone not just those that are fair skin color

Excellent food in a very classy setting. Really went all out and had no buyers remorse haha. I had a duck entree which was amazing. They have a great drink list too. I had the Suit & Thai cocktail and it was one of the most balanced drinks I've had in a long time. Service was friendly. They were really busy and were able to fit me in before close. It was worth the wait!

West Table is my favorite restaurant in Lubbock, TX. You're paying for what you're getting. It's upscale restaurants but not too expensive- fair. I had their duck -chef's kiss for me. Their purple drink is 10/10. "I'll be back" .

I eat here every time I come to Lubbuck. The food has always been consistently good but tonight..... I ordered the steamed dumplings and they were cold. Taste was good though. My beet salad was not in season so I ordered the house salad. It came out perfect. I ordered the pasta Bolognese and asked if the pasta was fresh (made in house) the server said yes.... But clearly it's boxed barilla pasta that was over cooked. The short rib flavor was very bland. I would still come back as some dishes here I have grown to love.... I just hope this place is not going downhill...

Nice dinner with friends. Everyone enjoyed their bass, steak, and lamb. Drinks were solid and just missing a hazy IPA. Our server Lyndsey was bubbly and attentive. We'll be back.

Nice menu, good food, a little loud, but poor service. We were left unattended for long stretches of time. Original server did not return to our table for a good while, then finally came by and said he'd be right back. Never stopped by again. After another long wait he asked if we had ordered. No. He said he had passed us to someone else, but that person never came by. Manager (I think) walked by numerous times and never stopped to check on us even though it was obvious we had been left behind. Finally original server came back and took our order. Took hour and half to get salad. Another long wait for entree. As we were well into entree, server apologized and brought us a complimentary appetizer that we neither wanted or needed at that point. Once finally served, the entrees and salads were very good.

I absolutely love this place. Every time I am in town, this is where I'm at! I do the Duck every time because they change up the menu often, so it is served differently each time. SO GOOD! This photo wasn't planned to be for sharing online, but that's all I've got!
