Gardski's Restaurant & Bar

A favorite of both students and suits, this landmark eatery near the campus of Texas Tech University is actually a converted Victorian home, abandoned by its residents after a close call with a tornado in 1970. The place serves some mighty mean sandwiches -- I can't resist the Smokin' Mad Jack, plump with smoked ham, brown sugar bacon, pepper jack, and red onions, with jalapeños on the side. A...

One of my old student haunts in the early 80's. It is still great and my wife and I ate there when we started dating in 1982. The food and atmosphere is still good. A true Lubbock tradition!

Located in a historic building circa 1920, this swanky restaurant is located near Texas Tech University. The upscale casual atmosphere makes Gardski's an ideal place for a date. The menu includes classic American dishes like spinach artichoke chicken, grilled meatloaf and fried catfish.
