The West Table sits on Broadway Avenue serving seasonal upscale New American cuisine with global accents that locals call the LeBron of Lubbock restaurants.
The cast iron seared duck breast leads orders here with charred corn succotash, andouille sausage, and white wine demi creating what people say is the best duck they’ve ever had.
Chicken fried elk and pork chop share a menu celebrating farm-to-table scratch kitchen concept, where the open kitchen lets diners watch chefs master each meal in the contemporary industrial-chic space.
Why Farm-to-Table Scratch Kitchen Changes Fine Dining
The kitchen requires ordering all food from appetizer to main course upfront giving chefs time to craft each dish at proper pace instead of rushing plates out assembly-line style.
Specialty cocktails get made with unique ingredients like celery-infused vodka and hibiscus gin creating drinks that make people say “Ooo that’s interesting” instead of basic well pours.
The sister location The Brewery LBK sits across the street with house-brewed beers served at West Table, though skipping cocktails for beer means missing what separates this from regular restaurants.
How a Broadway Avenue Ballroom Became Lubbock’s Premier Restaurant
The West Table launched at floor level of luxurious Pioneer Condos bringing upscale dining to downtown Lubbock where seasonal menus and global accents created New American cuisine West Texas needed.
The Broadway Avenue location built its reputation on dishes like grilled bobwhite quail, Vietnamese marinated beef tenderloin, and roasted bone marrow that show range beyond typical steakhouse fare.
The Instagram presence shows beautifully plated dishes, craft cocktails in copper glasses, and the open kitchen where chefs put in hard work visible to every diner creating energy throughout the ballroom space.
