We wanted to visit Dirks the last time we were in Lubbock, but they close early on Sundays. But we managed to visit our next time in town. They are not dog friendly, so we placed a take out order. As others have mentioned, they have a dedicated fryer. Yay! We got the chicken tenders with fries and green beans and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, no gravy (gravy has gluten), and collard greens. They messed up our order and gave us corn instead of mashed potatoes. But the corn is also gluten-free, and it was yummy. Had my eye on the gumbo, but they use flour in the roux. The honey mustard, ranch, and ketchup are all GF. Everything we had was delicious!! There was a $1 up charge per meal labeled as Gluten Allergy on the receipt

Flavor: A Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: B Because variety is my love language I was won over as soon as I found my item on the menu - the combination platter! The chicken strips and the steak finger strips were both good. I thought the gravy, corn, and potatoes were a little bland (and none of them were piping hot). But the star of the show was the okra. Cut in long strips rather than small pieces, battered with tons of flavor, and perfectly fried. And if there were a runner up, it would be the sauces - all of them that I tried were great. If only Dirks were around in my college days! But I’ll be back on the next L-town visit.

I'm going to do something I rarely do, and that's give this place 5 Stars. Even the best of the best places, at most I give 4 stars because there's always room for improvement. But this place, this place is PERFECT! I wouldn't recommend to change anything!!! The food was absolutely stunning and amazing!!! The service is good, staff is attentive, and drinks are delicious!

Service was so fast; we did not wait more than 10 minutes! Food was hot and fresh! Best honey mustard in Lubbock- all the sauces tasted homemade! Will be coming back!

My mom wanted chicken stripes. I googled best chicken stripes in Lubbock. This place popped up . The customer services is absolutely amazing. Hands down get the sweet tea. It is made freaking house and you can taste it. The chicken had the perfect crunch and moist just amazing. We will be back. If you have not tried it you need to.

First off Atmosphere was awesome. Had some friends come in from out of town and we all met here for dinner. Food was amazing, our waiter was hands down 1 of the best ive had in awhile. Portions were very good for the money. Would definitely go back again. They also had a decent option of Gluten Free items

Attentive server, fairly fun aesthetic, but the star is the food. Some of the best fried chicken you’ll ever have anywhere, including Memphis/Atlanta/name the city that claims it. The mashed potatoes were great, the sauce platter was perfect for dipping. A top-tier fried chicken experience. They could charge $50 and I’d go back.

OMG One of the best meals on this trip and an unexpected surprise. The Korean chicken was delicious- a little spicy but not overwhelming- juice and tender. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked moist inside and a satisfying crunch with Dirk's signature sauce. And a wide choice of sides - first place goes to the collard greens - I usually avoid from many bad ones, but these were the best I've ever had. On a road trip for a one night stop over searched a long time for a spot that wasn't pub grub or pizzas or burgers or a a chain - this was a very lucky find. Lots of locals agree. The wait staff was friendly and fun and prompt- the tricefta. If you are within 100 miles ' eat here.

What a joy to enjoy that incredible Korean fried chicken today for lunch with a dear friend! Thank you for helping make it delightful, Andrea and Dirk's crew! I am re-enjoying my experience through takeout tonight :)

Food was delicious!!! Chicken was crispy, potatoes were creamy, gumbo was fantastic, drinks never went empty!!! The only complaint is the 2.7% service charge to use a card… I recommend bringing cash

Fantastic restaurant. We got the traditional chicken strips and the Korean Fried Chicken. Both of them were so good! Alex served us and he was very attentive of our table and helped us decide what to get, as it was our first time and we are from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He recommended some various sauces, which were all good, but that house ketchup is something else - I'm not even a big ketchup fan, but this was next level! This will definitely be a go-to spot for us any time we're in town. Highly recommend!

Run don’t walk to this spot! Food was next level and service was great. Can’t believe we found this gem in Lubbock of all places. Couldn’t decide between the Nashville hot and the Korean chicken, so got both! Plates were empty.

I don’t usually leave reviews, however, the raw oysters and drinks were the perfect blend of flavors. I also had the fried okra and shrimp and grits, which we’re very flavorful as well. This is a good place to fall into if you have the time.

Absolutely loved loved the Korean fried chicken! The sauce was not too sweet, not too salty, perfectly savory. We ordered to go since we were on a road trip, but the restrooms were very clean. The wait staff was super friendly and service was fast. If we ever pass through Lubbock again, DEFINITELY stopping here again

We had lunch with a customer here around noon on 12/20. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The place is very creatively decorated with lots of cartoon art. The staff were kind and helpful. We all ordered the combination platter and chose different sides. I had the mashed potatoes with jalapeño bacon gravy and collard greens. The potatoes were smooth and buttery, and the gravy was outstanding. The collard greens were perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned. The chicken tenders and steak strips were both battered expertly with great flavor and cooked to perfection. Both were juicy and fork tender, and a knife was not necessary. I had the Korean and Nashville sauces to complement my meal. Both were delicious, but not necessary since the meat was so delightful without a sauce! Overall, we enjoyed a delicious meal and had a good time. Fair warning though: it was busy and quite loud during our lunch, so if you are hearing impaired and looking for a place to have a nice conversation over your meal, you might find yourself shouting at each other if you choose to eat here.

Here is a place that knows what it wants to do and does it well. This place is all about the chicken. The portion sizes are great. I had the Nashville Hot chicken, the flavor was wonderful, I personally would have liked more spicy, but that is a personal choice. The sides are good, the flavors are there, and the service was really friendly and fast...the resuerant itself if just a little old building, pretty unassuming but I actually think it takes a little away from the experience. They have Gluten free fried chicken on menu as well, pretty great place. 4/5

Really cute place! The chicken tenders dipped in the jalapeno bacon gravy were delicious. All the sauces were good. The City Slicker drink was yummy! Hostess needs a bit more training, but the bartender was exceptional.

Our waitress and the staff was very helpful in trying to find food for me to eat, that I am not intollerant to. But the options, like most places, is very limited. As for my friends, they were less than satisfied and will likely not go back. It was also a little too loud of seniors like us; but bearable. Sorry Dirks. Lots of people going in so it is obviously OK for them.

Dropped in today for a late lunch. Love the art on the walls. Service was super prompt since weather kept the customers away (and it was late). Tried the shrimp/grits and shaved Brussel sprouts and hubby had the chicken fried steak fingers/gravy with gumbo and smothered mashed potatoes. The grits had chunks that were dry/uncooked. The brussel sprouts were decent. Hubby's steak fingers looked a bit unappealing and the batter was dry/under cooked. Our iced tea was great! Took thr server a long time to cash us out but he offered us drinks to go. The entire restaurant had super sticky floors that made your feet squeak every step you made. The hallway walls are very dirty looking. The place wasn't nearly as good as I remembered a couple of years ago when I had a fabulous experience.

Alex is our hero, he is the best waiter! The portions here are large for the prices. The chicken tenders were juicy and good. The fried bone in chicken was dry. We did not enjoy the bacon gravy it was oddly sweet. The house ketchup was good. Oh and the okra was awesome!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. The restaurant itself is nice, a little to loud. The waitress was very friendly. My main concern was that I was not allowed to order from the kids’ menu. I explained that I just wanted something small and quick since we are students and I wasn't very hungry. I often order kids’ meals at other restaurants when I want a smaller portion. However, we were told that only seniors are allowed to order from the kids’ menu. Additionally, my friend ordered the chicken fried steak. After eating a few bites, she started feeling sick and mentioned that the flavor tasted off. She also ordered a refill to go, but the waitress never returned to our table with the drink. After we paid, no one came back, and we ended up leaving without receiving it. Overall, while the staff was friendly, there were a few issues that made our experience disappointing.

Chicken fried steak strips. Rubber strips more like it. ZERO flavor. I guess shame on me for ordering steak in a chicken house. Brussels sprouts were super gross! Grits were yummy! will give it another try since the rating are so high! Just don't order the steak strips.
