Robbins Nest Cocktail Bar • $
5202 Marsha Sharp Fwy W, Lubbock

“If you're a fan of quaint little dive bars that give good service and stay relatively quiet, this is the place. It's one of, if not the, oldest bars in town and the atmosphere reflects that in a good way.
This bar reminds me of the dives back home that I learned to play pool in: slow but very active, cheap drinks made well and good tables to play til the doors shut for the night. It's a very no fuss place that I hope continues to be a permanent fixture to Lubbock's history.“

“Stepping into Las Palmas is like stepping into a little slice of Mexico, and I can't get enough of it! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and incredible aromas. The staff is fantastic and can easily switch between English and Spanish, making everyone feel welcome and right at home.
And let's talk about the food! The flavors are so authentic, you'll swear your grandmother is in the kitchen. Every dish, from the bright, zesty ceviche to the hearty, sizzling molcajetes, tastes like a true, homemade Mexican meal. They don't cut any corners here—everything is made with care and passion, and it truly shows.
But what really makes Las Palmas a standout is the fantastic prices. You get generous, high-quality portions of amazing food without breaking the bank. It's a rare find these days to get such incredible value for such an authentic dining experience. Las Palmas is a gem, and I can't wait to go back for more!“

“We always come for the lunch buffet. They have a wonderful variety for a decent price. The only issue is that if there aren't many customers, they'll leave the pizza up there until it gets very dry, but that doesn't happen all the time. Highly recommend checking them out.“
