The restaurant is byob so come prepared but also come prepared to have a wonderful night

Had an excellent night out at Chez Sami. This restaurant is perfect for a surprise dinner. Its exterior gives the perfect cover for the exciting, intimate interior, the service was attentive, and chef sami’s food is excellent! We had the Prix Fixe menu with rack of lamb, roasted potatoes, and garlic spinach. We also had the hor d'oeuvres which included butternut squash bisque, garlic shrimp, and a baguette with goat cheese and poached quince. Will definitely be back to try the regular menu!

I feel like I'm gonna get hate for this but tamales we're not good. We moved into town not long ago and I've been craving some homemade tamales so while at the farmers market, we were excited to find the Tamale stand that had been all over my foodies page. The guys had amazing customer service and tamales were super huge but the taste just wasn't for me. As if the masa had too much cumin in them. It was over powering. Would love to try their other food though!

You cannot judge a book by it's cover with The Tamale Lady!! The staff was amazing, the food was amazing and love the atmosphere! From scratch tamales & all the best mexican things to French Pop Ups and Brunches on the weekends, by reservation only, this is def an experience one must try if you are ever in the Lubbock & surrounding areas! It was great to personally meet you all and thank you for such amazing hospitality to this newbie in the area from DFW, Tx. They have grown so much they will be moving to a newer/bigger area in the upcoming months! So happy for you & your staff Jon! Your passion for good food shows!

Wow. little shack with “day of the dead”scull paintings on outside. very much a place you would simply drive by normally. Looks more like a tattoo parlor from the outside. We just had the french menu and virtually every item on it. Unbelievable food from appetizer to dessert. Clearly a chef extraordinaire running this show. Had the feel of the frenchmans inn which is a long gone small quant place lubbock used to have. I would say the complete experience was top tier. Quality that would match any 5 star experience. The uniqueness of the building and the fact they mainline tamales made it even more unreal. i’m going back to get tamales. Anyone that can cook french meals as a sideline to this level must have a heck of a mainline tamale! i’m posting pics also.
