Back 40 Grill Lubbock Reviews
Great Chiltons. The Chicken Fried Steak and quesadillas were delicious. Fantastic service. Management is Top notch
They’ve never disappoint me. Place is FANTASTIC. Gotta get their Chicken fried Steak!!!! Employees really friendly, their food is always fresh and hot! Managers are real nice and love how they check up on their customers!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
My first time to back 40 grill. I had the chicken tenders plate with jalapeño cream gravy and it was really delicious! The atmosphere was a little loud and the front door let in quite a chilly breeze, but other than that, it was a very nice experience. My friend had the fried fish and it was also very good.
Stopped in on a Thursday night and the place was jumping for karaoke night. It’s more of a country and western vibe but the DJ does try to mix it up with some other genre’s of music. The bartenders were good and the food was good as well. I would recommend coming here if your into C&W.
Food was okay but not very well seasoned. Very bland. Service was okay but not the best waitress would walk by multiple times leaving the drinks empty. Had to ask multiple times even when leaving the empty cup on the side of the table visible. As far as the restaurant they have a touch tunes box where you can play music but you’re not allowed to play anything besides country. They have all other genres blocked so that was a bit of a let down. Guess you could say it’s not a very inclusive place. Wouldn’t really recommend.
Went for dinner and drinks... ordered chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and okra... sorry to say the cfs was way over cooked was hard and potatoes were at best warm to to touch the Okra was the only thing hot on the plate and also order the gizzards but unfortunately they had so much batter that u could barely get to the gizzards and when u did they were the smallest and hardest thing to eat... my son just gave up on them and took them apart to see so much batter...
I was expecting a food place with a bar, not a bar with food. It was a Friday and there was a 5 cover for entertainment, not a big deal…..but they made it a big deal. In the middle of my meal, a member of staff, not my wait person, specifically and personally told me there was a 5 cover. About 15 minutes earlier the female staff member with a back 40 shirt on was seated at the bar drinking shots and goading another patron to get me to move to the bar seat next to him. I thought it was weird and I told them I was good where I was……eating my dinner at the time. It seemed deliberate and rude that she mentioned with some extra attitude that they would be adding a 5 cover charge to my bill if I didn’t leave in 30 minutes. Santa Fe chicken, mashed potatoes and a salad. Meh, pretty bland and definitely not worth the hassle. I will not be “back“.
Ordered 2 of the Damn Good Chicken Fry’s, got all the way across town to my hotel room & I have this?? I call & ask if my order was messed up and they said “Ya. They put it in wrong. Sorry bout that.” Customer service still goes a long ways, just don’t understand paying for something I didn’t want to eat in the first place. Do better.
Waitresses that look like they knew what they were doing food was cold nice restaurant but needs a little help.
We typically go to the Back 40 for their OilFire Old Fashions and Espresso Martinis while grabbing dinner a few times a month. Today we ordered dinner via DoorDash. I must say the food was exceptionally unpalatable. The cheese sticks had no cheese and the fried hollow shell tasted burnt. The steak fingers too tasted like they were burnt so I can only assume they were all cooked in the same grease. Both cobblers were just as disgusting. I’m sorry to say I’ll never frequent this establishment again.
We ordered potato skins, they were awful! Our waitress ignores us & rolls her eyes when ordering. If everyone receives service like this, I can completely understand why they don't get more business
Went over the weekend, was excited because the food looked so good and price was great. Walked in and immediately felt unwelcome. We were a large-sigh group of less than 10, was told we could sit anywhere but had to put the tables together ourselves. Place was not even busy, slight help would have been great. Bartender (brunette girl) just stared no smile or anything, looked mad. Waitress (blonde girl) did the same. Waitress did warm up somewhat, but not very welcoming at all. Also food came out one by one over the course of maybe 15mins. Overall just a horrible and unpleasant experience.
Usually we enjoy coming here but today was a different experience The owner wasn’t working which explains why the employees were sitting & laying in a booth. All employees were on their phones all the time. Bartender was enjoying conversation with her two friends. The draft ultra was flat, had a funky taste. Hamburger was overcooked & dry. Onion rings were grease. It’s sad young adults do not take pride in where they work & receive a paycheck. They definitely were not earning their wage today.
