You don’t have to go to Prairie Dog Town. Just drive down any road that has vacant land on it in Lubbock. They’re ALL over the place… even squashed in the roads.
You definitely need another trip to Lubbock! You got Buddy Holly Hall, Evie Mae’s BBQ, Two Docs Brewery, Brewery LBK, LHUCA, Llano Estacado Winery, McPherson Winery, Dunbar Lake, Silent Wings Museum, National Ranching Heritage Center.
@@Sarasapien it's okay. The original owners sold it off, but they opened a new spot with the original staff called Mam's Thai Cuisine. Now that is the spot if you're craving some Thai food
@@arathh19 I use to work at Tai Peppers back in 2014. The owners were very kind. I just learned maybe a year ago that the husband (Kool) passed away :( I don’t live in Lubbock anymore but if I ever pass through there, I definitely will try Mams place :)
As mentioned, The Buddy Holly Hall is a world class theater for music and plays. Lubbock is the Hub of the South Plains and if you look at old pictures from the air with the Loop and all the roads coming into the center of town is looked like a wagon wheel. Mac Davis is from here; John Denver went to school here among others and just up the road is Littlefield the home of Waylon Jennings.
There are so many restaurants now. Lubbock has 0.88 restaurants per 1000 people and the national average is 0.58. That's about all there is to do is go out and eat.
The original owner of One guy's now runs Papa V one guy's was always pretty good; but Papa V's is very easily the best place in Lubbock now. There's some sort of feud going on between the pizza places now, lol
My neighbor in the Tech ghetto was one of Jerry's first employees. We got a lot of discounted and free pizzas back then. Kudos to One Guy's for making it big! Peace, Love!!
But he hasn't been in that location for 40 years. Late 80's when I lived in University Center across the street, it was a Bookstore, a Newstand. I would get my Houston Chronicle newspaper there every Sunday. Bought many paperbacks, magazines from there. I recognize that corner big time, and it wasn't a Pizza place 40 years ago like they said in the video.
Same street but other corner across the street. They had to move across the street when the University Plaza sold and canceled all leases while they remodeled. For a year or so there was no One Guy's there at all until that book store went out of business and One Guy's moved in.
It's the Southern high plains of the Lanno Estacado tableland specifically, where the frontier South and Midwest overlap with the Old Wild West to form a very uneque region.
My mom was a nurse at what is now Grace hospital . She took care of Buddy Holly 's mom and wife . My Dad knew Buddy from the fights he would get into at the Hi-de-ho resturant in Rotan. The only person you didnt bring up was Mac Davis? Lubbock has a lit a great things going for it and you covered a lot of them but would love to see more. We have Pedro Tamales and a lot of other great places as well. Over all though you mentioned some great things and its the best Vlog I have seen on Lubbock so thank you so much for that♥️ just subbed
Dario from One Guy's has his own restaurant now called Dario's . Joe ran the place into the ground and it sold eventually. There's no one from One Guy's working there any longer. The best Calzone is at Dario's now.
@@joshmartinez3685 I could see that happening because it's so good it's worth waiting for. That's why they are so busy. They often cook hundreds of calzones and pizzas in a day for businesses here in town. Dario will always take care of his customers. Big or small.
Interesting Video. One thing wrong though. That One Guys pizza has not been on that corner for 40 years. Back in the late 80's that corner spot was a bookstore. I lived in the University Center right across of the street from there. Bought many a paperback, magazine, and my Houston Chronicle newspaper there every Sunday.
I'm just wondering when this video was made. The second I saw Dion's next to Spankys I new this had to be longer than a year old. 😂 Edit: Just saw the description! 😮
yea one guys is no longer one guys it was sold, so time for a new trip to lubbock, the national ranching and heritage center, the stars and stripes drive in, lots u need to come back for
The comment I came to see lol. The way I grimaced when he spat out the water. My guy, I'm sure just as everyone else can see, that water is BROWN-GREEN 😂
Old timers will tell you that Buddy Holly was not that popular in Lubbock when he first started out because he played rock and roll instead of the country and western music that was popular in Lubbock.
Prairie Dog Town. Come on. There are so many other things to do in Lubbock besides this stereotypical East Texas bias of "only Prairie Dog Town". Texas Tech's Ranching Heritage Center, Texas Tech Museum Etc.
@@novalightress1854 true but it’s actually like that everywhere due to government incompetence, if the construction companies come in under budget or ahead of schedule then they’ll give less time and money for the next project
Lived in Lubbock for 27 yrs then had to move cause yup still just cotton fields, dirt, & tumbleweeds.. don't blink you might see more dirt😂 .. Prairie dog Town is moving all over town 🙄 the only thing that made it exciting was this video😂😂😂😂
There is nothing to do here but eat. I wish we had a zoo, an aquarium, an amusement park… anything!! Don’t get me started on the sad excuse of a mall. There is no entertainment here so kids just get in to trouble.
UHHHHHH, I'M SORRY, but uhhhhh, Yeah....SON (I'm about same age as you, 30-35.) You can't wear a cowboy hat and drive a Subaru. Live in TX, but I'm CO with a farm/range. Although I wore one when I drove my SC RR...
imma be real with you big dog. I don't know anyone who went to spaknies past freshman year. Also no one likes Lisa. Sorry not sorry. I've met dogs who've let me know how much they don't like her. they pride themselves as the place across from tech but I never see anyone there and they're always closed when those types of restaurants are open. soooooooooo.....
@@marysires9231 i went there only once, im from Hawaii and that place left a lasting impression on my as to how BBQ is supposed to be. Maybe one day I’ll get back to Lubbock and that great taste of BBQ

People say it's boring, and while it's a little dull attraction-wise, I adore all the museums and outdoor areas 🥰
You definitely need another trip to Lubbock! You got Buddy Holly Hall, Evie Mae’s BBQ, Two Docs Brewery, Brewery LBK, LHUCA, Llano Estacado Winery, McPherson Winery, Dunbar Lake, Silent Wings Museum, National Ranching Heritage Center.
My exact thoughts! He didn’t really hit most of the the BIG things.
I agree I too am from Lubbock
How’s Tai Peppers now a days?
@@Sarasapien it's okay. The original owners sold it off, but they opened a new spot with the original staff called Mam's Thai Cuisine. Now that is the spot if you're craving some Thai food

My Mom is from Floydada. If we got to go to Plainview that was a treat. If you got to to Lubbock....that was special for people from those small towns
Lubbock local here! This video made my giggle 👌🏼
putting the buffalo lake water in ur mouth is crazy lol !

@@ricardol5545cared enough to comment.
@@ricardol5545could say the same thing about your life
After going to tech for 6 years, I Haven't been back to Lubbock for about 13 ish years, but this pretty much nailed it. Food places and all.
There are so many restaurants now. Lubbock has 0.88 restaurants per 1000 people and the national average is 0.58. That's about all there is to do is go out and eat.
Golly, Texas sure is big
Love this... moved to Lubbock a couple years ago from Austin... defiantly different
What are the pros and cons so far? I heard its hella windy there too? Thanks
@@c8vegascons are it’s windy, it’s dusty, and it’s far from all other major cities in texas. other than that it’s nice lol
The original owner of One guy's now runs Papa V
one guy's was always pretty good; but Papa V's is very easily the best place in Lubbock now. There's some sort of feud going on between the pizza places now, lol
Haha. The Pizza wars of the South Plains.
Moving to Lubbock for work . Glad I came across your video 👍
Welcome home. We are a great town.

@@LittleEarp I seem to remember him on the corner down from J Pat's when I was there in the 80s. I could be wrong though.

I feel honored to have you visit my home town
Most consider it the South Plains rather than the panhandle.
It's the Southern high plains of the Lanno Estacado tableland specifically, where the frontier South and Midwest overlap with the Old Wild West to form a very uneque region.
Yet there is the Panhandle South Plains Fair. It's the South plains of the Panhandle. Most people here call it West Texas. 😊

Just found this channel, and it's already one of my favorite. Y'all gotta keep bringing more to Lubbock! Cheers ya'll~
Dario from One Guy's has his own restaurant now called Dario's . Joe ran the place into the ground and it sold eventually. There's no one from One Guy's working there any longer. The best Calzone is at Dario's now.
The original "One Guy" Jerry now owns "Papa V" down on 82nd. They have the best calzone in Lubbock now.
LOL. Is that why Jerry and Sal are being sued ?
Thank you for the heads up on this. I haven’t seen Dario in forever! Since college. I’ll have to drop in on him sometime when I’m in town.
Tried to get a calzone at Dario’s on a weekday and they said it would be a 55min wait 🤣
@@joshmartinez3685 I could see that happening because it's so good it's worth waiting for. That's why they are so busy. They often cook hundreds of calzones and pizzas in a day for businesses here in town. Dario will always take care of his customers. Big or small.
As a Lubbock-ite, I approve
10 year update..still get fried cheese.😂
This was very informative for me, especially since I live in Lubbock and didn’t know a lot of this stuff. 👍🏽🤷🏽♀️
When he spit the lake water out of his mouth 😮 that water is nastyyyyyyyyyy! He’s gonna need a tetanus shot after that!
I was a police officer at Buffalo springs, and used to have to yell at jumpers all the time, lol.

Still the same street just a different corner.
Need to come back when football season comes around. Meet up with some of the students and locals. Y’all nailed a lot but missed a bit.
Raider! Power! Raider! Power! Raider! Power!
You missed the Ranching Heritage Center, the Bayer Ag Museum, the Windmill Museum, Cooks Garage and so much more
So this episode is almost 10 years old now? wow.
I'm just wondering when this video was made. The second I saw Dion's next to Spankys I new this had to be longer than a year old. 😂
Edit: Just saw the description! 😮
I learned to ski on Buffalo Lake
yea one guys is no longer one guys it was sold, so time for a new trip to lubbock, the national ranching and heritage center, the stars and stripes drive in, lots u need to come back for
Dario from One Guy's has his own restaurant now.
Beautiful lake and delicious pizza!!!!
It’s actually really impressive that someone could become a famous musician in just a year and a half
Home sweet home sadly moved from there couple years ago I sure do miss it
Buddy Holly made more songs in a short career more than anybody else
You are going to have make another trip to Lubbock. You forgot the Texas Tech Ranching Heritage Center and Museum.
Nobody cares about that.
I was not expecting you to say spankys. Real asf 100% confirmed.
Mighty brave taking a voluntary dunk in that swamp known as Buffalo Lake.
The comment I came to see lol. The way I grimaced when he spat out the water. My guy, I'm sure just as everyone else can see, that water is BROWN-GREEN 😂
Merci pour tout.
Gotta love The Daytripper! Great episode ❤
Dario was the maker of the calzone recipe there idk who that guys talking about
Lubbock, Texas! It's been a while!!!
My son graduated from Tech so I did have the opportunity to taste
Spanky’s cheese in one of my visits.
Another tripping episode. ⭐👍⭐
Lubbock has great BBQ as well
Old timers will tell you that Buddy Holly was not that popular in Lubbock when he first started out because he played rock and roll instead of the country and western music that was popular in Lubbock.
Outlaw country is a good fusion between rock and country music.
Do another in Lubbock! Good video
Next time you go stop at the slaton bakery ❤
I spoke too soon...You did actually check out the Lake Site. Peace, Love!!
Nice pun work in that opening statement.
He forgot to say the horses rear is between Texas and Texas a&m
missed bierhaus
Good grief!!!! I'm so hungry for some of that calzone or pizza!!!!!! Been on a diet since December of no bread, no grains, no sugar, ugh!!!
That was a cool video.👍
I was shocked to see Lubbocks very own money laundering front in this video
Spanky's is so good.
Lubbock = bigger Odessa, I oddly have a lot of love for both
Why here😭 run while you still can man

There’s nothing to do in west Texas in general, the cities don’t put money into anything but the overpasses and loops

The cartels and gangs have been here for a while now.
Lubbock sucks… I live here
Too bad they didn’t cover THE COUNTY LINE BBQ.
It's been gone for a long time.
It hasn’t been called that in about 20 years or so, but it is still operating as a restaurant.
