hill barbecue — Restaurant in Lubbock

Edit: I am giving this restaurant 1 star for multiple reasons. Firstly, their hours online differ from those posted on their door, which isn't a huge issue, but they even took longer to open than the time they indicated. Secondly, they have three different menus: one online, one on their table, and one behind their counter, which adds unnecessary confusion since the three menus are different. While I understand that lines can form, making customers wait, having inconsistent menus within the restaurant only complicates matters further.

We finally ordered our food, only to find that they had only provided forks, with no knives or spoons available for cutting meat or for sides. The food itself was decent and was perhaps the highlight of our visit. However, I intended to use the restroom, only to find it out of order. I would expect a restaurant to care enough about its customers, especially those who come to support them during their final week of business, but unfortunately, it felt quite the opposite. I was disappointed by the customer service experience.

Even when posting my initial one-star review, instead of the owner attempting to reach out to address the issue, or even just letting the review stand on its own, they responded in a rude manner, further demonstrating their lack of concern for their customers.

However, it's worth noting that the two people at the front were super nice and did their best despite the influx of customers that day. I appreciate their efforts...

I've been waiting to try them out for a year now. The guys are extremely friendly and seemed very happy to take care of us. In which seems extremely rare these days. The building is a dive; but I've had some of the best food I have ever had out of dives.

My family and I went there for Saturday lunch. The place was dead. We ordered sliced brisket, pork ribs, pork/beef link sausage, mac & cheese, and mustard potato salad. As well as they served the traditional condiments of pickles, onions, etc.

Maybe we got them on an off day, and maybe I had too high of a expectation? The pork ribs and mac were average. None of us unfortunately enjoyed most of the rest.

The drink options were extremely limited with only water, Dr. Pepper, and Coke. When ordering I had asked about moist vs lean sliced brisket; I was told they cut both, and didn't feel like I had a choice past that.

At the price we paid, I expected much more in quality, not volume. I thought the brisket was overcooked and obviously a direct choice of moist or lean would of been ideal. I'm a moist only guy, so I thought it was pretty dry. The sausage grind was extremely compressed or loose like hamburger meat, depending on which end of the same link we got; I prefer a large course grind. Everyone mentioned the potato salad was extremely sweet. The thin vinegar sauce wasn't bad, but seemed different with Texas BBQ.

We wish them well in the future, but unfortunately this...

This one is easy. 5 stars, For this All-Star BBQ JOINT. Let me first apologize to anyone that has ever fed me their bbq. I'm sorry everyone. But this time I said that this was the ABSOLUTE BEST BBQ I had ever had in my entire life! And when my very first thought was that i could taste their main ingredient because it was very strong and when you try it, you'll immediately know what it is too. And that's.................LOVE. Straight up. Y'all know what I'm talking about. So we had gotten a little of everything sans the pulled pork (I WILL be trying this next time) plus a couple of sides a piece, tea and diet coke, and a yummy churro-like donut, which came out to, oh about $75. And I'd have to say, bbq, for that price, and all we had, and for how DOWN RIGHT DARN DELICIOUS it was, it was well WORTH EVERY DOLLAR. To me, the price was VERY REASONABLE. You don't have to get as much food as we did (we totally had left overs), so the price varies. I was very impressed to say the least. Oh, and oh my goodness, the SAUCE was WOW!🤩 I just live a good sauce or gravy or salsa that you could absolutely DRINK it's so darn good!

Bottom line, if y'all ain't at Hill's BBQ.......THEN WHERE...
