District 1 The Claw & Lounge - Lubbock (TX)

5 /5 Donna Anders: Highly recommend! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The restaurant has a casual feel, but the approach to food is anything but! We had two appetizers: seafood stuffed fried mushrooms and lobster risotto cakes. Both were outstanding! For entrees, we ordered snow crab and shrimp and smoked, grilled lobster tail. Mercy, we were so happy! For dessert, we shared ube cheesecake, which we had never had before. It was both beautiful and delicious! Our server, Priscilla, was friendly and efficient. The chef came out a couple of times to check on us. Well definitely recommend this to friends and return. Weve already discussed what well try next time!

3 /5 Humdinger: They were out of egg rolls that did not have seafood in them. Bummer, because I really wanted to try the egg rolls. I had the fillet beef with noodles and it looked delicious. However beef was a bit chewy and had no flavor. Likely cooked in broth, needed some char to give flavor. Had to add a bunch of salt, but it did not help. Should have ordered Pho.

5 /5 Javier Palacios: If You Leave District Crab Hungry… That’s On You. Let me start by saying the small Pho bowl is a straight-up catfish. There’s nothing small about it. It showed up looking like it could feed a starting lineup—and the bench. Piping hot, rich, and served with jalapeños, chili oil, and bean sprouts on the side so you can customize your spice level like a pro. The shrimp potstickers? Stuffed to the max and steaming like they just came out of a spa. Careful though—they’re hot enough to make you do that “I-just-burned-my-tongue-but-it’s-so-good-I-don’t-care” face. The beef eggrolls are just as packed and flavorful, with that perfect crunch that makes you wish you ordered more. The staff is incredibly friendly—like “are we related?” friendly. Even the owners came out to check on us, which made the whole experience feel extra special. And if you’re in the mood for a great drink, head over to the bar and ask for Claudia. She made my fiancée a drink that looked so good I instantly regretted not getting one myself. Next time, I’m ordering two—one for me and one just in case. All in all, this place is a total win. Come hungry, bring someone you like enough to share food with, and enjoy every bite.

5 /5 Veronica Alvarez: Server was attentive and friendly. Had the PHO for the first time and ordered a small and WOW! It was amazing and you could literally feed 3 ppl with that bowl. Had the Blood Orange Martini and it was just right! Not too strong or weak nor sweet. Manager stopped by our table to check on us and he was really nice. Definitely coming back.
