This has been a quality establishment for years now. Always enjoyed it sporadically over the years as a local, but recently it’s been a staple. The Supersonic dawg is why I’m writing a review finally. Absolutely fabulous blend of spice and sweet, bacon jam got me grooving. And the side of vegan potato salad is exactly what I needed to pair with. Staff kicks arse, and I hear management is legit. The vibe is for real punk rawk mixed with folks that just wanna chill. For me, it’s nice to eat quality food over cooking and have awesome art all over to look at. Oh and pinball zen helps. Straight 5 star cause this meal caused me to spend time writing a review. Props and praise.

Really cool spot. We loved the pinball decorations and Metallica pinball game. The staff was fast and friendly.

Went out with my family and had a great experience! Server was attentive and the atmosphere is incredible. This place also has THE BEST CHERRY LIME SOUR I HAVE EVER HAD. It was insane and I will definitely be going back for more.

An entire tavern devoted to pinball machines. Even the tables are pinball machines. An awesome one-of-a-kind restaurant experience. While the menu focuses on tasty beefy hotdogs and delish German sausage, their gouda mac is to die for, plus they offer a selection of vegan choices. Great food and fun pinball action. A don't-miss stop in Lubbock. Make sure to ask for Estevan as your server.

We were in Lubbock looking all over for a cat and were totally starving. We drove by Flippers and stop. A pleasant stop. There is real pinball machine faces from long ago. It's fun to walk around and look at them all. The waitress with red-hair was so friendly with a great sense of humor. The was fresh and hot. This pub was a one of those fun stops on a trip.

Stopped here on the way through to Colorado. Delicious Reuben sandwich. My friend got a vegan hamburger. Super friendly and attentive wait staff. Cool vibes

Fabulous food and drinks and the most amazing decor! The tables and bar are beautifully repurposed pinball machines. The staff is kind, attentive, and welcoming. Everything was delicious--pretzel and cheese, deviled eggs, Bar-cuterie, Supersonic, and the Flipper Style--but the Sourpuss was my absolute favorite! The drinks were fantastic too. Pom It Like It's Hot and Turmeric Mule are phenomenal!

Passing through on a trip out of state and needed somewhere dog friendly, this place was great! Our server Winter was so welcoming and passionate about the menu. We enjoyed everything we ordered and even got a "dog dog" for our pup! We will definitely eat here next time we pass through!

A very cool, little, niche bar with a pinball theme. Known for their hotdogs, but have some other good food too. The best thing about this place was the service. Koda (sp) was our server and she was amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our food. She also made me a special drink, off menu, that was delicious! I highly recommend you try this place and ask Koda to make you a Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini!

What a great little bar and fun. All the tables are pin ball machines. Staff is very friendly. Menu is simple and to the point. Great place for a date of just to pop in and have a cold drink. Bring your pup on its leash and sit outside.

Pretty cool place. We went for a late lunch, passing through town. It was slow by the service and grub was on point. Happy to add our good review to the rest of them.

The atmosphere was so cool! It’s park themed all the way (even the tables are made out of pinball machines!). The food and service were also top notch. I had the bahn mi, my wife had the supersonic dog, and the kiddo had an old fashioned dog with ketchup and all the dishes were superb. The side dishes of Gouda Mac and Cheese were creamy, cheesy, and crunchy thanks to the fried jalapeño strip topping.

Food was amazing! Pinball table dining experience extraordinaire! Excellent service, best queso we have ever had, and would definitely come again!

Flippers Tavern just redefined “ballpark food” for me. ⚾ Their Philly cheesesteak hotdog is a glorious mash-up of two comfort food legends—juicy, cheesy, and so good I briefly considered ordering a second one just so my left hand wouldn’t get jealous.

Last minute decision change led us to a hidden gem with bomb food on free pinball day. I ordered The Philthy Whizard dog a play on Philly cheese steak and my boyfriend got The Supersonic dog which is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy with the bacon jam. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't been here!!

Dropped in here for lunch. Love the feel of the place. Thought I was going to get a chili dog but went with the Thai dog at the last minute. It was a great combo of flavors and bright fresh veg made it feel like I was eating Thai food and also having sausage hoagie at the same time. Especially liked the coconut cream - pretty cool way to add some cool-dairy like element and still keeping it Thai. Nice spice too. Beer was inexpensive. The bartender - forgot ask her name. Young brunette was also very friendly and helpful with the menu. I don’t know when I’ll be back in Lubbock but I know when I do: We are going to Flippers dude.

Food was amazing, hands down the best meal I’ve had in Lubbock since the beginning of my visit. Out of all the places I’ve tried, the food here had the best flavor and I couldn’t have been more impressed. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid meal that won’t hurt your pockets.

Such a FUN theme!! Pinball machines for table tops and wall decor. You'll also find functional pinball machines!! The hot dogs are very good, too. Be sure to get some Mac n cheese, oh my, delicious!!

This is a very interesting find. The food looks exceptional but we only had the chips and salsa and a dog. The atmosphere is great and the decor theme is vintage pinball arcade. Back in the days carnies and mafia openly ruled the world. The service was good and fast. The drinks were great.

First time at Flippers Tavern. Great choices of pizza, burgers, wings and pastas, along with other choices. Highly recommended if your group can't decide on a food options. Great service aswell

Tasty food!!! We sat outside so not much comment on the atmosphere except for the cool lights and all the pinball machines. Chips and queso were GREAT especially the shiner bock queso. Wide selection of drinks aswell. Hotdogs galore and a cool BYO hotdog with my choices.

Unique gourmet 🌭 hot dogs. Good selection of beers, porters, & ales. While the hot dog recipes are flavorful and good, I found the included bag of "convenient store" chips, self opened by the customer, disappointing. Hand made and house flavored chips would be a more complimenting side. A variety of beverages on tap with different taste profiles and ABV was amazing. Fast kitchen. Can't wait for the next visit through town. Reasonable priced for food and beverages!
