Lone Star Oyster Bar

Nick Cirksena

Great place with good prices. The stuffed blackened catfish is the best thing I have eaten in town. Destination dish... amazing.

Jordan was our bartender and he was awesome. My girlfriend and I came to try a oyster shot and the staff was very helpful in getting it all dressed up for me. Beyond that Jordan made a delicious cucumber Chilton for me. I haven't had a good one here in Lubbock in quite some time. Big thanks to Jordan and the team.

Absolutely love this place. Jen and Sid are great bartenders that are very friendly and take no nonsense! Food is good and the beer is cold. Great place to watch any games on and feel included with the rest of the bar.

Ever since I moved to Texas, I didn't really know anyone and I lived on 80th and Frankfurt and just decided to go out and took a chance on this place. I don't know why I choose that place but it turned out being one of the best nights I had here and it was so memorable I took pictures and posted on Instagram. You don't make any of my social media but this place made it.I have frequently gone back but as of Lately it's my go to place to meet people and the bartenders not only know your drink but they are friendly and are quick with thier service. This is a after work spot for many other restaurants in the area. If your a beautiful young lady, and a stand up guy I recommend this place. I have had some of my best nights there.

I came here on a Wednesday night to check it out for the first time since coming to town. I asked the bartender about the place, which triggered some regular enough that he tried to start a fight with me immediately. I suppose that all Texans live up to their stereotypes - all talk and no walk. Maybe that's just the kind of crowd that this place attracts. As far as the restaurant and wait staff go, the place is okay. It wasn't as smokey as I thought it might be and it didn't smell like fish at all. The wait staff informed me that it can get pretty crowded and smokey on the weekends. The wait staff is decent, but the regular crowd - not so much.

We ordered the platter for 13.99 and only got 3 fried oysters and 3 pieces of catfish. The beans and rice we to spicy to even enjoy I asked before I ordered if this was a good size portion and she lied. Nope. No waitress. The bartender was all over the place. Plus my pet peeve was she was playing with her freaking hair and not washing her hands yuk. Never again.

Food is good. Bartender girl is too busy visiting with and socializing at the other end of the bar to notice when anyone needs anything. Two other customers have had to get up from their table to ask for something.

Went for trivia. The cigarette smoke inside was almost unbearable. Food was very good.

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants to eat oysters. It was my birthday, and I wanted to have seafood. So we go to the place that we call our regular place. The service that day was absolutely horrible. There was waitress that seem to ignore you. And then, when the shift change came, there were four people behind the bar. But you still did not get any better service. The young couple that came in and sat on the other side of us asked after a short period of time if we had a waitress? And I told him well kind of. And within the next 5 to 10 minutes, someone did finally come and take their order. This was probably the worst service that we had gotten in a very long time at this particular establishment. There are other restaurants in Lubbock that have oysters, but we really used to enjoy going to this place. But after the service that we received, we probably will pick an alternative place to enjoy oysters next time.

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had in my life at a place in Lubbock Texas that I grew up in. The short female bartender with black hair is absolutely horrible will scream and yell at you. Each plate came out separately. The food came out over cooked and nasty. We were given attitude when sending the food back. Then overcharged and told to leave.

Very good place, but I was overcharged for products and drinks I did not order. Upon dispute, I was violently mistreated and shoved out my staff and civilians. It was extremely unpleasant, I was charged for 6 alcoholic drinks when I did not order that. I was then shoved out by staff members and civilians and banned from the establishment upon me bringing up the dispute. It was unfair and absolutely unjust, I hope this does not happen to you.

This establishment is the SECOND biggest joke I’ve ever seen in Lubbock. First and foremost, the bartender last night asked a male customer to walk into the women’s restroom to ask another female customer to get her act together and to clean up her throw up. IM SORRY…it’s a bar(?). People are going to throw up. It comes with the territory. The bartender is LUCKY that the customer didn’t throw up on the bar and went to a bathroom stall. Not only did she make it to the stall, but she also cleaned up any and all throw up that didn’t make it into the toilet BEFORE the male even walked into the bathroom. Aside from that though, the fact that she asked a male to walk into the female’s restroom is astounding and should not have happened. It’s just asking for a bad situation to happen. The entire establishment treated us like outsiders and made it abundantly clear that we were not welcome. We would never recommend this place. Merry Christmas though!🙃

Went for a night cap and had the worst experience. Maybe the guy behind the bar got tired of being the only server or what not but he was rude and wouldn't serve us. He thought he was kool because he looked like thore and to be honest we were going to order food. Just avoid this place all together!

Came here for the first time last night. I thought the place was pretty cool and our waiter was great but only for the first 30 minutes then we completely got ignored. Our friends were waving and trying to get his attention but he didn’t seem to care. Not only that but they have a terrible COCKROACH problem. Saw 3 of them just sitting there watching the Texas Tech game. Disgusting! Not sure if I will be back. I’m pretty grossed out by the cockroaches. It was definitely the worst service I’ve had in a long time!!

Went with a friend around 9pm to get food and a drink. Walking in it immediately made him sick to his stomach, the smell of Acetone and sewage was atrocious. The bar tender told us 2 people had poo'd themselves earlier that day. I couldn't finish my beer so we left. My other friends wanted to go sing Karaoke & we wanted to check it out there, i work as a server for a karaoke event every week and wanted to participate on an actual night off... Gave it 2 hours for the smell to die down and went back. Smell was mostly gone or just acetone by 11:15. We get our drinks, no one was signing up or signing karaoke so I tried to get the ball rolling. Trying to sign up was not fun. I asked the girl doing the sign up is it thru karafun or do they have a list of songs we can look at? She snapped at me then crossed my name off the list without calling me, i was literally the 3rd person to sign up in 2 hours... Another girl 30 minutes later, im assuming felt bad, came and found me and asked me to go up but couldn't read what the other girl scribbled out. So I said sure I get up there, start the mic is on.... then the first girl who was being rude turns it off before the end of the first verse. At which point I dropped the mic on her table and walked away. This was my friends first experience in this bar and they were upset at the "service" of the staff. My friend got loud because of the way the girl was acting and we ended up getting kicked out. 10/10 do not recommend. Will not be back and will discourage others from ever going to a Karaoke night at this bar. I have tried around 15 trips to this bar to get a single positive review 13 of those times I brought people with me... always something negative happens with the staff or atmosphere. No toilet paper or paper towels in the ladies room.... the bottles taste like metal so beers are gross.... the rumple is hot like room temperature... it smells like sewage or acetone...

I came in and was ignored for at least 10 minutes after sitting down. They were not busy. After flagging down a waitress, I asked if their kitchen was open and then asked for a menu. They brought me a sticky laminated menu with very limited and expensive offerings. I left without ordering food. This place used to have fantastic food and service but is a shell of its former self since an apparent change in ownership.

Extremely slow service myself and my guests ended up walking without food
