You Haven't Really Lived If You've Never Been To These 5 Lubbock Restaurants

Whether you are a student at Texas Tech, or just passing through, these are some of Lubbock's local must-try restaurants:

1. Spanky's

This 36-year-old business is known for their famous fried cheese sticks. What makes them famous? They are more like cheese bricks if you ask me! Spanky's signed walls have been around since 1982 and located right off of University, is a popular spot for game days.

2. One Guy Pizza

Another 30-year-old spot in town is this well-known pizzeria. The pizza and calzones are to die for, and you aren't a true Texas Tech student until you've had a slice of One Guy's pizza. Their low prices and casual atmosphere draw college students here (or to their phones to order delivery). Take a look at their menu!

3. Orlando's

63 years ago, Mike Cea opened up this Italian restaurant in Lubbock. Since its opening, the building has expanded and its reputation has flourished. The Italian cuisine is incredible, yet oddly enough, they have won Lubbock's Best Queso award. With a full bar, pasta dishes, and endless options you can't go wrong with this place! Orlando's is Lubbock's oldest full-service restaurant, and continues to stand firm thanks to good food and great service.

4. Caprock Cafe

This is one of my favorites. Caprock was Lubbock's first smoke-free sports bar and grill, opened in 2008 by none other than Mike Cea. This is the perfect place for a casual date night or a night with friends. In fact, this joint was voted by Lubbock Avalanche Journal to be the "Best Place to Have a Beer." Their burgers and bar selections are some of the best in the 806.

5. The Shack BBQ


Located in the north-west corner of Lubbock, outside the loop on Frankford Ave, this BBQ joint will not disappoint. If you don't mind a 15-minute drive from Tech's campus this place promises not to disappoint. Juicy sausage, flavorful brisket, and creamy banana pudding await you at The Shack.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
