Even though this ended up being a sellout due to demand from Tech fans, I bet there will still be some people trickle in to Lubbock for the first time this weekend. With that in mind, I’ve reached out to the guys here at STP and compiled a quick “crash course” list of local favorites around town to visit between innings.

Evie Mae’s (BBQ)
The Shack (BBQ) *Closed Friday due to recent flood, open Sat & Sun
The Arrogant Texan (Fajitas, Ice Cream, BBQ, Nachos, BBQ NACHOS)
Italian Garden (Italian, BYOB)
