So I had to try the He-Man Woman Hater burger. The portions were we're good. Lots of toppings. Bacon cheese. Two big burger patties. Because I'm a big dumb carnivore I didn't get the bun and I trashed the fries. But for under 20 bucks it is a really good burger.

Great place for burgers and fries 🍟 fries are really crispy and crickets cut and if you are here make sure you get the full order of cheese 🧀 sticks there to die for!

Not from around town, decided to try this place out with some co-workers. Upon entry of the establishment, there was good music playing. It wasn’t too busy as we went around 11am. Service was rather quick at that time. Our food came out rather quickly. Upon receiving, I had ordered a burger and fries. The burger was rather bigger than I thought it would be. There was excellent flavor. The fries didn’t have any seasoning, not sure if that how it is or if we have to ask. We also got their huge mozzarella sticks! Those were the bomb!! You definitely should get them!!! Overall I was pretty impressed with the food and the establishment. The staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend!

Must try if visiting Lubbock for the first time! While there are a few salad options, the menu is the definition of college food! Burgers, sandwiches, and fried starters galore. The small order of fried cheese is 3 which is plenty for small party as they are just humongous! Each one is the equivalent of like 4 sticks you would get elsewhere. The breading is light and the cheese is just ooey gooey delicious. The fried pickles are chips with a light breading - perfect! The burgers are delicious, so are the sandwiches, all around just a delicious meal. There is a dining room and register to checkout both upstairs and downstairs and to go order. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, just a good time - highly recommend giving them a try!

Loved the burger. Need to go back for the fried cheese! Add a few more thoughts to post review.

Went for lunch while working TTU football game. Cozy atmosphere and good food at good price. Local establishment with college flair. Will definitely go again if I’m there.

Best fried cheese in Texas! And the burgers and fries are excellent. Friendly staff, fast service and great prices. Go to Spanky’s!

Love the way it has more than 1 floor. Fast service. Good prices for the quantity but our meals were kind of boring, lacking flavor. I'll still be back cause it's a cool place to hang with family. Only had 3 meals there so far and each meal was bland.

Love the ridiculously large fried cheese and the best fried pickles I've had in my life, paired with their house-made ranch 20/10! Service is friendly, parking was easy mid afternoon on a weekday. Bacon cheeseburger was okay, one tiny slice of bacon torn in half was disappointing :/.

Spankys is a good spot to grab some burgers or chicken. Their fries and onion rings are delicious and the food was fresh. They have an upstairs and downstairs for dining.

Stopped in on a quiet Sunday afternoon so not crowded at all and very quiet inside. Had a Cheeseburger and fries, nothing special but hit the spot. Seemed a little pricey at $20 for meal and one beer but still better to support a local institution as opposed to a big franchise.

The food was alright but kinda pricey for a burger joint. The ambience is nice and the service is super quick. I had the cheese sticks, a bacon burger and soda (no fries) and it was $30.

We had trouble getting our order, but once brought to the attention of the staff, we eventually got it. Food was pretty good, overpriced for what it was. Side note: I hate standing there waiting on a staff member to look up from their phone so I can ask where our food was after waiting over 25 minutes. Personal pet peeve

Pretty expensive off the bat 2.50 extra for fries alone most of it is 10 dollars for 1 meal so a family of 4 has to spend 50 to 60 dollars for lunch but other than that this was pretty tasty the kids…

service was SUPER slow. Very small dining area. Too many people with not nearly enough staff. Food was just ok. Cheese was definitely worth it though!

I DO NOT recommend Spanky's. Used to go here, but moved; not what I remember. Completely disappointed. Driving through and stopped by. Waste of time. Very off on the cheese sticks tonight. They were not cooked enough, and the cheese was not melted, the breading was excessive. The cheese is supposed to stretch, and be hot. It's cheese, and a fryer, not a technical process. The breading was an inch thick, just peeled it off and left it. It seemed like dead food or left overs. The fries were nothing to comment on, save expensive. The cheese sticks and fries were over over priced. We normally complete our meals, but left it on the table. The young lady at the register had no personality, but the young lady that delivered the food was very kind and sociable. Not worth the effort to request a remake, ask for quality assurance, or complain. Needless to say, we won't be back.

It’s a shame because it appears that a Lubbock favorite is declining from poor management. The bathroom was disgusting with overflowing trash. The hand soap dispenser had the bag of soap that was supposed to be installed in the dispenser just laying on the sink. The tables were dirty with crumbs. The worst part was my receipt said 2:38pm and we didn’t get our two person order until 3:15pm (cheese sticks, chicken sandwich, chicken strips). Food was good, but the chicken only covered about 2/3 of the sandwich bun. We spent $42 on two people and ordered water. Not a $20 a person experience, that’s for sure.

We don’t live in Lubbock but have heard that this place was very good. We came here and initially the guy working downstairs was very friendly and helpful. When we got upstairs to order and eat, we were greeted by a less than enthused young lady that seemed as if we were a bother than anything. We have a large family and we ordered 5 kids meals, 2 adult meals and the “famous” cheese sticks. The total was $64. The food came out really fast but the food was just your average frozen foods. I got a BLT, which was what you would think and my wife got a bacon chicken sandwich, she loved it. Over all just mediocre place to eat. Neat atmosphere, rude staff, and mediocre food.

I ordered their famous cheese sticks, as well as fried mushrooms to go. The fried mushrooms were not beer-battered like other restaurants, but instead covered in what looked like something from Chick-fil-A. This crust was over cooked and the mushrooms themselves were just this side of raw, but slimey, which made the crust slide off when we tried picking them up to eat them. I chalked that up to being my mistake because I had never ordered them at Spanky's before and maybe that's just how they are. But the big disappointment was the cheese sticks. I got them home and they were nothing like what we have always gotten in the past. Covered in about 1/32nd of an inch of what looked to be flour and melted in a pool of cheese in the bottom of the foam container. I called, asked for the manager and asked if they had a new cook. He said that he personally inspected all orders and saw none that looked as I described. I took them back and he told me that they always look like that. I hate being called a liar and told him so. What a shame. I used to love their cheese sticks, but now that I know what they look like from now on I will never go back.
