We're about to take a sizzling journey through some of the best spots to get a steak in Lubbock. This list is based on a combination of TripAdvisor reviews, Yelp rankings, and good ol’ fashioned local experience.

How about a sweet, tender, perfectly cooked steak? I’ll show my steak credentials right now: I like mine medium rare. A little red on the plate doesn’t scare me—just give me a nice pink center that’s been warmed through, plus some solid grill marks and a seared, flavorful crust. Sound good? Let’s see where others are getting their fix in Lubbock.

TripAdvisor’s Top Picks (with a little local insight)

5. Texas Roadhouse
This national chain earns its spot because it always delivers. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you’ll leave full and happy. Their success even led them to expand to a larger location on Slide Road in Lubbock.

4. Double Nickel Steakhouse
It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it. Double Nickel is one of Lubbock’s most upscale options—and people rave about the quality of the cuts and service.

3. Las Brisas
Known for enormous portions and premium steaks, Las Brisas consistently earns high marks. It blends upscale dining with a welcoming atmosphere.

2. Bryan’s Steakhouse
This might be a surprise to some. Bryan’s is often seen as a budget-friendly option, but don’t let that fool you—people love it. It tied for the highest TripAdvisor rating with Triple J, despite having fewer reviews.

1. Triple J Chophouse & Brew Co.
Triple J isn’t just a steakhouse—it’s a cornerstone of the Depot District. With great beer, live music, and reliably great steaks, it’s no wonder they lead the pack. While both Triple J and Bryan’s earned 4.2 stars, Triple J had 709 reviews to Bryan’s 183, giving it a slight edge.

Yelp's Best Steakhouses in Lubbock

While TripAdvisor tells one story, Yelp has its own ranking:

  1.  Ponto Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse

  2. Las Brisas

  3. Triple J Chophouse

  4. Aspen Creek Grill

  5. (Tie) Hayashi Midtown, Bryan’s Steakhouse, and Double Nickel

Yelp favors variety and volume, so you’ll see some new names—and a few of the same—on this list.

Honorable Mention: Cagle Steaks

If I had family in town and they wanted a true Texas steak experience, I’d take them to Cagle Steaks out on 4th Street. It may be a bit of a drive, but it’s unforgettable. Truth be told, the best steak I ever had in Lubbock was from Cagle’s. It’s easy to overlook because of the location, but it deserves a spot on your radar.
