The Co-Op Public House

First off we didn't even have reservations and they found us a table right away. Zurielly our waitress, recommended a very good appetizer, as well as a cocktail for my wife ( I forget the name but it was made with orange fanta). We ordered the lasagna and the chicken. Both were super amazing, but don't forget to get the creme corn too. Definitely a new favorite from here on out. Make sure to try the ole fashion!!!!

Excellent new spot in the middle of town. Solid beer and wine selection, and my partner can’t stop talking about the chicken she had. My pizza was killer as well. We will definitely be back!

Okay hang on folks, this is a good one. Wife and I just wrapped up date night dinner at Co Op Public House in Lubbock. The place has a unique vibe especially for Lubbock. We arrived at the perfect time and were seated quickly by a friendly hostess and started looking over the still quite small menu. Basically everything looked good and we were hungry…so pretty soon we’d ordered the confit chicken, the beef tenderloin, a margarita pizza, and a sour cream cake for dessert. Pizza came first and it was fantastic! The house-made crust was crisp on the outside and had the perfect chew inside. The pizza sauce was simple, but outstanding…literally think I could drink a cup of it and be thrilled. Toppings were delicious and some incredible Parmesan probably parmesano reggiano, based on taste alone, shedded on top of it all. Delicious doesn’t begin to cover it. But that’s just the beginning. My wife’s chicken was gorgeous, with crisp golden brown skin and litterally falling off the bone at the first touch. It was served atop some thinly sliced potatoes which were saturated with what I assume (but don’t recall from the menu) was a rosemary thyme pesto giving them a green color and a flavor like nothing I’ve ever tried before. They were delicious but mild. The potatoes showed through but the herbs were on full display. My steak was cooked perfectly and delicious with a light brown sauce that I didn’t bother to analyze, just thoroughly enjoyed. Here’s the star of the show: the potatoes that came with that beef tenderloin were whole new potatoes with a capers, (I believe) shallots, and (I believe) parsley. They were a work of art. Think flavor time bombs going off in perfect order through every bite. So delicious and unique. Then dessert. The sour cream cake had a few flakes of salt on top and part of the top was dusted with crushed pistachios. Underneath was a beautifully tart lime curd. The whole thing was a magic show of texture with an amazing creamy, sour, sweet, indescribable deliciousness.
Our waitress was a sweetheart and was extremely attentive and helpful. This was a wonderful date night with my love and we both appreciate the staff and chef a ton. We’ll be back and you should get over there quick. Support the good stuff that goes on around here and it’ll stick around and multiply.

Awesome place to grab a quick drink or a great meal! Can’t decide if the food or the service was better!!
