Dimba's is a wonderful local owed and run establishment here in Lubbock. The food is delicious and made to order. I can also appreciate they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. It's always a great experience!

The food was great when it was still open. It no longer is, and it will be missed.

After seeing several posts about Dimba's Chicken & Seafood # 1 in some Facebook groups I realized that it had been far too long since I had their wonderful food and got to say hello to these amazing people again! Had the #2 and added a couple of extra puffs and a side of okra. Everything is made to order and came out perfect! So glad I was reminded about them again!!

Tried Dimba's for the first time tonight. The fried chicken was excellent. It takes 20 minutes to cook, so if you go be prepared. It is piping hot, fresh, and taste like old school, southern fried chicken. The puffs taste like funnel cake and adding honey to them was a great treat. I'd definitely go back. Look forward to trying the catfish and other menu options. Thanks.

Got my order literally 10 minutes ago. Genuinely the best fried chicken ive ever had. They told me 20 minutes, and it was *perfectly done* in exactly 20 minutes. The gravy is awesome. Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough. I'm never getting fast food chicken again in Lubbock.

ABSOLUTELY GOT TO TRY THIS PLACE! I'm new into town and surrounded by the regular take out places until someone recommended this place! I ordered everything I craved! Simply delicious! Fabulous shrimp and catfish! Homemade! The BEST I've ever had! Sprinkled some lemon on top...I'm going again tomorrow! A must try!!!
