Where to Find the Best Onion Rings in Lubbock for National Onion Rings Day

This Sunday is National Onion Rings Day, and since my favorite spot for onion rings closed down, I made it my mission to find the tastiest rings around Lubbock.

My all-time favorite onion rings were at BurgerFi. Their Cry & Fry—a combo of onion rings and French fries—was unbeatable. Honestly, I usually got the combo just to avoid FOMO when a friend ordered fries. But let’s be clear: the onion rings were the main event.

So, if onion rings are your top priority in Lubbock—the #1 item on your foodie hit list—where should you go? Let’s break it down a few ways.
