The Escondido Grill
The Escondido Grill is a Southern restaurant tucked away on Spirit Ranch at 701 Regis Street in Lubbock. Escondido means hidden in Spanish and the name fits a property shaded by century-old elm and oak and cypress trees. It is one of the most scenic places in the city to hear acoustic music over dinner.
Atmosphere and Setting
Guests can dine indoors or on an outdoor patio that looks over a peaceful pond and landscaped grounds. Peacocks roam the property and guests can even feed them. Reviewers describe easy live music in the evening and a calm ambiance that feels far from the city.
Open Mic
The Escondido Grill hosts an open mic on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM according to the Lubbock Live Music Scene calendar for September 2026. It is a relaxed early evening slot that suits acoustic singer-songwriters and duos who want a friendly dinner crowd. Sign-up is in person so arrive a little early and confirm with the restaurant before you go.
Live Music Calendar
Beyond the open mic the restaurant books local acoustic artists for evening sets throughout the week. The pairing of patio seating and live music makes it a popular date night spot.
Food and Drink
The menu features Southern cuisine and smokehouse favorites along with burgers and more. The restaurant also offers catering and private parties and online reservations.
