    Many people don't realize there is a bar in the back (accessed by a side door). Happy hour specials and a great staff make this a great evening place to decompress.

    One of my personal favorites for Lubbock brunch, this place also sports a decent bar in the back. Definitely get the crepes or the burger if you're eating.

    Cafe J has a great wine list, and many of the wines can be purchased at Host & Toast. 26th and Boston, next to J&B Coffee

    Shhhh. Ask for the secret burger. It's not on the menu, but it's the BEST in town.
