This will require some planning on your part because it's open Wed thru Sat and for lunch. The line will start before 11am... yes, I said a LINE...like out the door. And the only complainers are those who've not yet tasted this beef that is more like candy. You'll thank me later. They do have a second location within United Market Street at 114th & Slide with more available open hours but I’ve not personally found it as tasty there. Prioritize the quick drive west to Wolfforth for the original.

If you are looking for a distinct atmosphere - a bit off the grid - Cagle Steaks is for you. Set in a "Gunsmoke-like little street scape, it's Instagram worthy and the food is great too. Only ribeyes though - no filets, etc - just ribeyes you order by the inch-thickness.

Just about an hour's drive SE of Lubbock (Justiceburg, TX), it's our best fishing and water sports recreation area. If you go, plan to have a burger and vanilla shake at Holly's Drive-in on the way (Post, TX)

Not all of West Texas is flat. Just a few minutes west of Lubbock on 50th St is Ransom Canyon, a small community of homes scattered around a small lake. It's a picturesque spot with lot's of history connected to the Comanche Indian nation who presumably used the area to hold captives for "ransom." For history buffs, I recommend "Empire of the Summer Moon" by S.C. Gwynne which details the Comanche's influence over much of West Texas
