Back 40 Grill Lubbock in Lubbock

Its ok. Closed early on a Saturday night...not sure why.

I used to love this place but the last 3 times coming here has been awful. Food is cold, never get checked back on from the server, drinks run dry, and its impossible to get any service. This place has changed their draft beers and menu for the worse! I love their fries but dont think Ill ever come back. Just sad to watch this happen over the years to a good place.

Wonderful food, awesome atmosphere, great service! One of my new favorite places!

Everything tasted good. Waitress was the only employee visible to the dining area. Paid over $60 for lunch for three of us and all of us are hungry enough we’re contemplating stopping for fast food on the way home. You can’t charge over $20 a person and serve portions that leave people hungry in Lubbock, TX. I can spend $20 less and feed my family so much that they leave food on their plates and that food can be spectacular within a 5 mile radius of this restaurant. I feel absolutely taken advantage of. Will not be back.

Girl at bar played with her hair and touched plates, never washed her hands. The dishes that came with our appetizer were dirty, with food still stuck on them, most tables were dirty, I would not be interested in returning. For such a nice location you would think they would keep it clean. The outside area looked cleaner than the inside. After weeks of planning this visit I was truly disappointed.

Amazing food and great people. Great staff that works there as well.

Fun place to hang out. Their live bands are great!

Asked for music to be turned down, lunch time. They would not comply. My choice will be not to come back. I like to talk to th e people Im dining with.

The food was subpar at best and when my daughter expressed her displeasure AFTER the waitress asked her how everything was, she got argumentative. We wont be back.

Had the chicken fried steak sliders with fried zucchini. FANTASTIC! Nuff said.

Great burgers and food in general! Friendly staff and great karaoke on Thursday nights.

Chefs cooked our food fast in order to come out and sit to watch the football game… Worst food I have had and feel like puking. I shoulda walked out the minute i tasted the boxed mac&cheese…

We had a great meal here! I didn’t like the weird jalapeño gravy but everything else was great and the fries were AMAZING. My first time going here I was disappointed but I’m glad I gave it a second chance.

Wow. Where to start…knowing staffing shortages in town we were wary of going anywhere. Walked in and seated ourselves as per the sign. Greeted quickly and received our drinks just as quickly. Ordered queso for appetizer, REALLY good! And we all love queso!Each dish ordered (grilled ck w/zucchini, club sandwich, nachos, quesadillawere all GREAT. There was seasoning on the chicken and veggies, Club had fresh ingredients..just awesome. We haven’t been here in years so we were very skeptical. We will be back!!

I’m not sure where to even start! In a place where there were hardly any other people there eating, we sat for over 30 mins waiting on even an appetizer to come out. We finally went up to the bar and ordered more drinks for ourselves, with very little attention from the server. Once food arrived, it was cold, overpriced, and mediocre at best. And the kicker… they were kind enough to add a 25% gratuity, for service that absolutely did not deserve anywhere near that. Easy to see why they had an empty dining room at lunch hour. Won’t be back!

Maybe we just came on an off day but it was expensive and the quality of the food did not meet the price. I got the shrimp tacos and the avocado slices that came with it were brown. I don’t think you should serve someone that, I had to take them off. The loaded potato skins were also overcooked. We were also brought the ticket super soon, after eating for only about 10 minutes. Other people have good reviews so maybe this was just an off day for the crew, but I don’t think it was great quality or service for the person who made our food. Also our waitress checked on another table 3 times and ignored us even though we had asked for a to go box.

Great atmosphere good food. Our waitress alyssa was awesome . Place was packed but she always made sure we were ok and had what we needed she was super friendly .

A friend and I decided to try here for Saturday lunch. Not busy at all. We had the chips, salsa and queso as an appetizer. The salsa had a nice kick and the queso was a blanco (white cheeseboth had good flavor. The chips were just on the beginning side of stale but not such that warranted sending back. My friend had the fajitas she said they had a good flavor. They do not come with rice or beans which my friend was fine with. I believe the set up was guacamole, pico and sour cream. The tortillas looked homemade and she said they were really good. I had the Santa Fe Chicken. The chicken was very tender and had a wonderful grilled flavor. The portion size for both of our meals was definitely shareable.

The Dam good chicken fry was pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the jalapeño gravy. The shrimp tacos were good, but they left the tails on the shrimp, so that was kinda dumb, but they were tasty as well.

We had chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken catered for a birthday dinner at home and it was fantastic! Highly recommend the fried okra, green beans and jalapeño mashed potatoes!Ashley the GM was so helpful in making this happen for us!

Great food, and great service from Chaya. She was a great waitress, didnt have wait too long for anything. It, my order, all came out in a timely fashion

Troy and his crew are amazing! Couldnt ask for a better environment, food, Service. Its not very often you go to a restaurant and get off all categories.

Really fun place to go for live music on selected nights. My favorite is lunch on the patio. Food is burgers, chicken fry, chicken strips, pizza, wraps, salad etc... The owners are hands on which IMO is why this place has even gotten better over the years!

We have mostly got excellent service with "ok" food here. Today, we got excellent food with mediocre service. Being one of 3 tables, I was hopeful that we would get both today!! Oh well.....hats off to the cook!

Love this place.. we always get the same waitress and she is awesome takes care of everyone... even when they are busy! And the MOST important thing is their dam good chicken fry jalapeño gray!!!! It is the best.... really the best!!! We Will keep going back!!!

The food is delicious and the service was good.My only concern was that they dont require masks for guests or employees.We sat outside and it was very nice.

We arrived at approximately 11:55. Hostess told us to seat ourselves, so we went to the patio, where only one other table was occupied. A server was there at the time. Several minutes later, I went inside to get menus. The server returned to the other table then left again. Finally, at 12:10 we left. Note to management, you rarely get a second chance to make a first impression.

Had a coupon that they refused to honor.Edit:Your restaurant was listed on Restaurants.com. We chose to eat there due to that listing and the associated reviews. When we tried to pay the bill we were told you had decided not to take part in Restaurants.com.It would be considerate of you to remove your restaurant from the Restaurants.com site if you dont want to participate.

Went for a $58 lunch. Steak sandwich breaded. Hard to chew. Mashed potatoes no flavor. Processed lunch meat ham and Turkey on sandwich. Tasted the quac on the second half of sandwich. Only thing we liked are the onion rings whigh we paid $3 for in addition to the order. Got to try something else there

Great ambiance, wonder staff-very friendly and attentive. I had a hankering for the Back 40 Burger/sweet potato fries and it satisfied my appetite. A Titos Chilton on the side....Perfection!! Thanks for a great service Megan!! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My bacon bleu cheese burger was excellent, as were the Texas firecrackers. The salad was just some iceberg lettuce with carrots and cheese. Our server was friendly and attentive.So, why only 3 stars? The noise.They had a live band that compensated for their mediocre talent with sheer volume. This made table conversion impossible. You could only speak to one person at a time because you had to lean and scream in their ear. Then repeat yourself by screaming into the ear of the next person at your table. What started as an enjoyable evening out ended with extreme frustration.Tip: Choose a table on the patio if there is a band playing inside. Youll not miss a note of the performance while still being able to enjoy the company of your dinner companions.

Our first time in and we wont be back. We stood in the front for a couple of minutes before anyone ever greeted us to let us know to seat ourselves. My husbands order came out wrong and the amount of sweet potato fries, that we were charged $2.99 extra for, was a very small portion. Our server never came to refill our drinks. We werent having any alcohol , but we couldnt help but notice that all the tables that were received the best service.

The food wasnt very good at all.For starters the fried zucchini you only get six little bitty strips for $10 and it had no flavor whatsoever I had the chicken fried steak with jalapeno gravy that didnt taste like jalapeno the gravy was Bland. The only good thing I can say was that the waitress was nice and the atmosphere was good other than that dont waste your money.

I had a burger and it was the best for a burger at this price point! It tasted like it came right off the grill and not a kitchen flat top! Very impressed! My wife had the chicken strip meal and talk about a HUGE portion! Everyone in our group was very happy with their meals as well! Friendly service!

Great place and friendly staff. Went there in the early evening on Friday and drinks were really reasonable. Well vodka drinks were $3.25 each. There are plenty of TVs to watch football. Staff was friendly. One of the managers came and spoke to us for a while. Good place none the less.

Recommended. The burger I received was not, “greasy”.The fries were memorable and rivaled the burger. The sweet tea was slightly off but did not seem to include (aspartame‘Sweet and Low’.The employee that waited on my table was prompt, kind, and aware of the entire section that was in need.It is located around good views and is easily accessible for handicaps and light trucks with trailers.I do not recall the outdoor seating to have adequate shade suitable for 100F summer days. It does, however, include a child retention fence.The concealed kitchen, visually appears disorganized and dirty but during and after consumption of the product, it was evident this had little to no relevance.

Loved this place! The service was fast, the staff was friendly and silly, my friends and I had a great time in a big group. They had live music that day, and the band was great! There was dancing and affordable drink specials, too!

Great little neighborhood restaurant and bar. Fun and casual atmosphere with a nice variety of menu selections. Ive enjoyed everything Ive ever ordered but my fav for the moment is their hamburger. The twice baked potato soup is excellent and perfect for these drizzly, cooler days. The staff is excellent - friendly and helpful, really seem to care about their customers and take pride in their job.

Dropped in for an early lunch on a Tuesday morning. Cheese sticks are some of the best I have had in town. Top shelf margarita is a little pricey at $9 but I will order it again. The real steal is the house margarita. Again, one of the best house margaritas in town, especially for the price.

Pretty decent food, chicken strips and burgers are good. Whiskey Wednesday has drink specials and live music, which was awesome. The wine was a step above typical house wine, which is always a plus, especially for a sports bar.

Food was mediocre at best. Some of the servings were small. For example the chicken fried steak was a good size but they put like an half an ice cream scoop worth of mashed potatoes. Then the potato skins appetizer had maybe a slice worth of bacon on the entire plate.

Past this place several times while in town but never stopped till today. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, DELICIOUS FOOD! !! Well worth the hour drive to get here!! Will be coming back here all the time!!! Owner greats you and is busy running around making sure things run right.

Excellent service and live music at a quality family restaurant owned by lovely Lubbock entrepreneurs. Visit often!

I had their grilled chicken with veggies and a salad. It was sooo good. Ill definitely eat here again. A coworker and I went during lunch. I like that there arent many options but then again, there werent many "healthy food" options, but what we did have was great. Cant wait til my next meal there.

Great food, good prices, and the customer service was wonderful.

Awesome atmosphere during game days! Excellent food, everything was delicious! Great place to grab a drink and watch a game, also family friendly with kids menus and high chairs.Clean and organized space.Most everything on the menu is $10+, however portion size is reasonable for the price.Wait staff was friendly, but slow to get around (extra busy because TTU vs KU Basketball game during last visit).

Always enjoy eating (and drinkingat Back 40. Love the burgers (mushroom Swiss is my pleasure). Tonight they had filet and lobster for Valentines day and it was off the 🎣. Service is great and so is the atmosphere

If you are reading this for a recommend place to eat you hit the jackpot for Lubbock. We were a group of 11 people so we saw and sampled quite a bit of the menu by all getting something different with several appetizers. The shrimp and cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon was incredible. From the chicken fried steak to the club you can tell love went into the menu. Best onion rings Ive had in a while to boot.Personally I had the steak fajitas and loved every bite. This is no stock photo Im posting either! It was taken with my motor z and does not do it justice. One other person ordered the same fajita plate and the whole place was filled with Smokey sizzling beef!Portions are HUGE (chicken strips could feed 3and the wait staff was friendly. A MUST stop if you are passing through or a regular stop to watch the game on a bunch of huge flat screens. We. Will. Be. Back!

I am the Sales Manager for T-Mobile right next door to Back 40 Grill. The entire staff delivers customer service at its best. The food is delish. The atmosphere is inviting. I could not have picked better a neighbor.

Service was terrible , waited 20 minutes for a refill , so I just went to the bar. Food came out 45 minutes ago but have only seen my waitress 1 time IN 45 MINUTES!!! Good note: food was excellent!Update : 1 week later , the mangers called and apologized for last weeks situation. Was very impressed with their professionalism and eager to make right of the situation I had ! Very pleased and will be visiting the back 40 very soon ! Thanks Troy for all you have done , more thank I expected ! Its business like this one that makes Lubbock great !
