I'm still relatively new to the Lubbock area and there's so many restaurants and so little time.  When I see a list like this it always grabs my attention... and appetite.

Movoto Insider recently published this list of the 15 best restaurants in Lubbock.  They don't give any background on how the list was compiled, but there are some good descriptions of "why" they were chosen.

On the list were The Vine, Crafthouse Gastropub, Manna Bread And Wine, West Crust, Rain Uptown Ristorante, Hayashi, La Diosa Cellars, Sri Maharaja Fine Indian Cuisine, Orlando’s Italian Restaurant, Tom & Bingo’s Hickory Pit BBQ, Lisa West’s Double Nickel Steakhouse, Bangkok Thai Restaurant, Abuelo’s Taqueria, Christakis Burgers and The Cakery.

From the looks of it, these are locally owned and no chain restaurants are included.

Now, my taste buds and I have some work to do.
