First and only time we’ll go here. Just save your money and go somewhere else. They overcharge for what you get. The “two meat plate” came with one rib and some brisket (see pictures). You can add a side salad for $7, but this is for a salad that comes with the stem ends of romaine lettuce, one slice of cucumber, one mini carrot, one cherry tomato, and a bunch of croutons (see pictures). I did ask for one that wasn’t all ends, and they brought another one, that was almost the exact same thing. The brisket baked potato was good! But it’s listed under the entrees, which state they all come with one side, but they up-charge you $7 for a small side and then tell you after the bill comes that a side isn’t included with the potato. When we asked our server what all came on the regular baked potato side she stated “butter, cheese, sour cream, and bacon” then we noticed we were up-charged for bacon on the potatoes ..?The Mac and cheese side was small and flavorless. You have to serve yourself the ranch beans that are sitting in a large crock pot that are in desperate need of seasoning. The meat is all very good. But the rest was just not good.

As always you can’t miss with Cagle’s, been coming here since I was a kid. They’re so confident with their steaks that they only serve 2 cuts: filet and rib eye. The rib eye in 4 different sizes : 1/2”, ¾”, 1”, 1 ¼”. The ambiance is really nice, once you get there it looks like an old western movie. The peach cobbler is a must for dessert.

This place was awesome! If you come to Lubbock you MUST come here! Not only a really good steak place, but the ambiance is fantastic! The whole area feels like an old west movie set and it feels like they might host live music. Anyway, I'd come to just sit and relax with a glass of wine. I came on Halloween, the servers were dressed in costumes, it was fun. Great service and the fresh bread, jalapeno corn bread and beans are a nice touch and really delicious! Win!

We have had great experiences here in the past. Tonight was the first time we came in about 10 years. It was just like I remember it years ago! The food was wonderful. This is definitely the best place to get a steak in West Texas. It was delicious and we plan to come back!

Had a ribeye that was super thin and way too much pepper. It was also $30, with only one side which was a mediocre baked potato. I used to love this place but it has just gone downhill. The atmosphere was OK and the wait staff was good.

Went for dinner around 6pm. Our waitress Alyssa was very polite and attentive. We started off with the bacon wrapped jalapenos and also the ones with shrimp added. They're served with ranch and cocktail sauce. For my entree, I ordered a medium rare ribeye with a baked potato. The steak was cooked perfectly. My baked potato was nice and soft inside. It came with butter, sour cream and cheese. I ate it all up! My son ordered the grilled salmon with the potato salad as a side. The salmon was served on a bed of rice. A lemon butter sauce would've made the salmon a little better, it was borderline dry. The potato salad was creamy and on the sweeter side so we didn't care for it. For dessert we tried the cherry and the peach cobbler. They were just basic. I didn't taste any added spices. Not sure I would order them again. Stick with the ribeye and baked potato.

Great food, my steak was perfect. Amazing service, never had an empty glass, every request was met. Lovely and comfortable atmosphere. Lots to do and see before or after you eat. Highly recommend, would love to visit again.
