Something Different Grill Lubbock Reviews
First and foremost, food was great. Our first time there and we will be returning. Service was great as well. The GM Chuck was super nice and friendly. Staff stayed busy and keeping area nice and clean. 😁
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in. I was surprised at the options on the menu and was hesitant even eating here. We had the Szechwan Teriyaki Bowl, Chick Fried Steak Spud, and a Bacon cheese burger at our table and they were all great. Additionally, the coconut sweet tea was a treat. I’d definitely go back, but probably would try something different. Update 1/7/18: Went again today. Had the Jacked Spud. Another solid offering. The spud was soft and heaped with all kinds of goodness. It is good to see consistency in their product. I look forward to trying more there.
I absolutely LOVE this place. The staff is always kind and professional. The food is always FRESH and delicious. This place is also very healthy. I love it!.
We love this place. Food is served hot and fast. Employees are so good at checking on you to see if you need anything. Jessie always makes sure you have everything you need.
Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. Great portions and looked just like the picture in their menu. The interior was very clean and comfortable with nice music playing.
It was absolutely delicious! The portion sizes were perfect, I got my fill and had enough to take home to eat for lunch the next day. I got the chicken bacon ranch potato and my wife got the chicken alfredo. Both were delicious! Definitely will go back next time we are passing though lubbock!
I'm from out of town and this was my first time at this establishment. It's basically similar to a Qdoba or Chipotle, but for Mediterranean food. The options can be a bit overwhelming so the option to select from pre-created bowls was nice. The serving sites was generous and the food was delicious. They were prepping to clean the ice cream machine while we're there and received a complimentary icecream with coffee syrup; it also was enjoyable.
What a great find. Very friendly staff. Grandson wanted spaghetti, he cleaned his plate… we also had green chili spaghetti, a sandwich, and the green chili poppers. Everyone enjoyed their meal. They even have coconut tea! The price is reasonable, big portions. We will eat here again.
My family and I were in the area doing a school visit and was looking fro something to eat. We pulled up this restaurant. The food was great and wasn't expensive. It was a good choice. If you are in the Lubbock and want to get a good meal I recommend stopping by and sitting down to enjoy your food.
Saturday, September 20, 2025. Gentleman working the front counter and running food to the tables was spectacular! Food was phenomenal, and you get portion sizes that far exceed what we thought we'd get for the price. First time here, and we will likely make it a frequent stop. Try the mozzarella sticks!
The employees were fantastic. Greeted everyone with a smile. Checked on us after being served as well as everyone else in the restaurant. It's just a very positive vibe. Then the food... Amazing. All cooked to order. Expect a 10 - 15 wait, depending on your order. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this place before. But I will definitely be a regular moving forward. It's one of my favorite restaurants for a casual meal. I ate the mozzarella sticks before I took a pic. Lol
The Something Different Grill is an amazing place to eat at. The staff are very kind and offer friendly and amazing service. There is a good amount of food choices to choose from, as well as a good amount of customization. The atmosphere is very chill and upbeat. The food is served hot and fresh and is very fulfilling. Would eat here again a hundred percent!!
Love this place. The food was delicious… after taking a recommendation from the staff we tried the Fried Chicken & Gravy Spud tastes just like Chicken Fried Chicken Dinner! Yummy! Also we had the Loaded Jack Spud and it was loaded in green chilies and cheese… tastes made to order, not processed at all. I’ll definitely be back when I’m visiting Lubbock. Thanks to the staff for being so honest and friendly!
The food was really good and the portions are quite... well lets just say hope your hungry! The food is a little $$pricey for some of the entrees. The appetizers are definitely over priced! The young lady with the facial piercings needs a bit of customer service training her expressions showed as though she was dreading her job! Therefore took away one star. The atmosphere of the dining room is nice and it was very clean!
I've ordered from door dash twice and in person once. Both times on door dash I had problems with my order. One of the times I paid for extra portions 3x and only got a partial refund though I didn't receive what I paid for. When it happened on my second order, too....and doordash didn't communicate at all about my feedback, I decided it was time for a google review. I'm trying to be fair here with 5 stars for the food and 4 stars overall...though probably deserve less the fact this wasn't reconciled through the other channels.
The updated version of their menu was not available on here but the food was really good, I got their Thai food option and the chicken salad. The portion size was really impressive and the service was not too bad. I loved their chocolate brownie too. The prices were slightly high but worth it I think. Great place for a date or for just hanging out with friends or family.
Great value for the price. Delicious food. I had the chicken fried steak spud & hubby ordered the california something or other. Apart from the additional toppings being a little more costly than we thought (almost half the price of the spud) it was great! Portions are spot on. Tea wasn't (in my humble opinion) the "best in town" but it was fresh & very good! We will def try the different flavors next time. Very beautifully decorated. Loved the vibe. Staff was very nice and attentive, even coming out to offer refills. We paid about $27 for 2 spuds & 2 buckets of sweet tea 😂 2 extra small cups of cheese, a small cup of gravy and some butter squares was $4. The spud cost $9.99 so 🤷🏻♀️ idk enough about math or restaurant pricing but was a little steep in my opinion. I like my spud topped to the last bite though so we paid up lol. We will definitely be back! S/N - they have this awesome long bar with outlets and USB ports so it looks to be a great place to have lunch when needing to do some work or school stuff!!
Something Different Grill is a great place to drop by for a good meal. The service is top notch and the food is great. The dining room is clean and the tables are quickly bussed. There is plenty of parking and it is free. Feel free to order anything on the menu and I am sure you will be happy.
This food is great!! My husband ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef. He absolutely loved it! I ordered the Cobb salad, wonderful!! I wanted the spud menu but spuds would not be ready for 10 more minutes. As I said, the food was great! When we walked in we were greeted by an employee that was not professional (Jessica). She had an attitude and unprofessional. We almost walked out after she reached into her shirt and scratched her underarm while we were trying to order. This person needs to be working in the back and not working with the public. While eating our meal, I decided to get a spud meal to go. Tiffany was so wonderful, she is an excellent person and employee. She impressed me so much in the short conversation. I would recommend Tiffany and the food.
The texture of their "beef" makes me wonder what sort of meat product it really is. The previously frozen carrots and broccoli seem to have been steam cooked in the bag they came in with no seasoning whatsoever. At least the egg roll was decent.
Food looked alright. The staff was very rude and unsanitary. No gloves were used, no telling what other things were handled with their hands (reminded me of india). The staff was very unresponsive to take anyones order. Would not recommend, unless you enjoy food handled by dirty hands.
