Copper Caboose

We took my son to the Copper Caboose for his 13^th birthday and it was great! The kitchen made a couple small mistakes, but the waiter was great about fixing them! Drinks were never empty, and the food was great. Good portions, reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place!

Don’t waste your time eating here. I could have just gone to the grocery store and bought canned vegetables and a box a Kraft mac and cheese and saved myself some money and probably could have made it taste better by cooking at home and actually adding some flavor with spices.

Went in with two other people and I only come in with a buy one, get one dinner plate coupon. Usually, this place is a good experience and it had been a long time since I last been here. I decided to buy two dinners and have one to go as part of my coupon (must buy drinks as well). Part of the bad experience was because of the waitress. I assume she was new but when you don’t understand how simple shit like. So I finally got to order my to-​go plate. What a damn mistake. First, I was charged extra to get my food to go and what I actually got looked like the amount of food some skinny vegan chick from Berkeley on her ‘diet’ would get. Take the amount of food you would usually get on a dinner plate and shrink it down by 50%. I swear Michelle Obama had something to do with my food because it was an elementary student’s nightmare. It was saddening that they thought I would pay for that shit while charging me extra on top. Don’t bother with this place as they have a cheap ass for a manager.

Great lunch buffet and good service. I go as often as I can. Service is usually prompt and attentive.

Was in Lubbock on a business trip, stopped by Copper Caboose on a Unilocal recommendation. Queso and chips. … awesome, lots of meat in the queso! Mushroom swiss burger was great. Buddy with me found the «awful» burger terrific… Isn’t that an oxymoron, who cares, the burgers were great.

Enjoyed the food. Burger was delicious. Food was hot and prepared as requested. Half the place is a restaurant and the other is a sports bar with pool tables and such. Staff was friendly and service was good. Would be cautious of bringing children during night hours. Honored the 20% Unilocal discount.

First off the food is great. I always get the awful burger. It has bacon a couple different kinds of cheese and grilled jalapeños. (most of the time the jalapeños do get grilled, but several times they haven’t been for some reason.) the service is spotty. I’ve been known to run out of tea nd not see anyone come take care of it for a while. I recommend not going after 6pm however. It’s a rough area of town and it attracts a lot of the local rif raff. For lunch it’s a much friendlier environment.

Chill bar, lots of pool tables, great food (zingers), semi cheap booze (natural light pints 1.75 pitchers 5.50! Lol) get real here cause they don’t care! Hood but good
Hood though! Plus UFC now, however there was a cover to watch.

This has been a lunch favorite for several years. The lunch buffet is good Tex-​Mex style and the have the greatest fried fish during Lent on Fridays. Sometimes they have trouble keeping everything on the buffet line, probably because they have a pretty big crowd at lunch. Ordering from the menu is also a good bet. They seem to have a lot of wait staff turnover, but the service is usually good.

I drove through Lubbock on a road trip with my mom. I ordered a chicken sandwich, the chicken was good the sandwich average. My mother ordered enchiladas. Halfway through the meal, she made a strange face and pulled a piece of hay out of her mouth. She immediately flagged down the waitress, and this is what followed:
–The waitress forgot about us for around 20 minutes
–When we finally spoke with the manager he accused us of planting the hay, claiming it didn’t look cooked (hay is cooked by the sun and wouldn’t be singed on the inside of an enchilada)
–Then he pointed out that she ate half the plate, suggesting that the meal be prorated.
