Caprock Cafe — Restaurant in Lubbock

If you are looking at this review before coming here, then this is the place to definitely try when staying away from the typical chain restaurant. The staff and the manager were so welcoming and friendly. The whole place is eye-catching as well as perfectly arranged. We sat on the outside entrance because of the beautiful day outside, and the atmosphere was so inviting, they played great music fit for the place. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries, and my wife had the green chile cheese burger with fries. I ordered the prime rib rare, and it came medium, but believe me, the taste of the sandwich was extraordinary perfectly tasty. Add a couple of drops of Tabasco, which made it so irresistibly inviting, so you may opt in to add an extra bit of swiss cheese it would just bring out that busting flavor out. The waffle fries were perfectly cooked, where they were crisp on the outside and so tasty and tender on the inside. My wife's burger was perfect with its sweet, tasting, grilled bun, green chile, and to top it off extra red onion slices a great burger. Our server, Micah, was superbly proficient, professional, friendly, and provided the best of service. We will definitely bring friends and family...

Third worst restaurant experience I’ve had. If I could, I would rate it a negative five. The nachos were the worst I’ve ever had and that’s saying something. Stale chips, the cheese was the prepackaged shredded kind and wasn’t fully melted, giving it a gritty taste, the chicken was flavorless and felt nothing like chicken, the ground beef was too salty and because of how dim the atmosphere was I couldn’t read that the nachos came with jalapeños unless you ask to leave them out. Two family members got the down and dirty chicken strips and relayed they were severely overcooked, lacked flavor and were almost impossible to eat, having a “leather-like consistency”. There was a shrimp in the appetizer sampler, and we were lucky no one was allergic as it blended in with the fried jalapeños and was a nasty surprise. The bathroom smelled horrible and was not the tidiest, and despite there being plenty of tables inside, we were seated outside. Despite our server being wonderful, I will never be eating at a Cap Rock Cafe again and will recommend my friends and family avoid them as well. (We went at about 7pm on a Wednesday, I can’t imagine how bad it gets...

The service by Kaden was great she was attentive and friendly but gave you have time to enjoy your meal. I had the Green Chili Chicken Fried Steak. The green chili sauce was excellent. The steak appeared to be was prebreaded frozen cutlet. IT was still very good because of the green chili, a combination I would not have thought of but worked well. The pinto beans we good, the potatoes and gravy were excellent, just the right amount of seasoning to smashed (not mashed) potatoes with just enough chunkiness and skin left on to add additional flavor. The atmosphere was spot on, I sat near the bar and it was full but not too noisy. Meal was 4 stars and experience was 5 stars overall about 4.5 stars. Recommendations: If they were to change to a hand breaded tenderized cutlet and adjust their seasoning for the beans (they had jalapeno and bacon in them but the seasoning overpowered their flavor), this meal and experience...
