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 I've had in a while to boot. Personally I had the steak fajita's and loved every bite. This is no stock photo I'm 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 3) and 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! read more

Food was good. Service was garbage. The waitress was excruciatingly slow, even though we were about the only people in there. They brought us our food, then it sat there because they had no silverware rolled to give us. Nice. We saw our server so little that most of the time we just ordered from the bar. Probably won't find any reason to go back here. read more

Big time disappointment here. We stopped in to grab a bite to eat after running some errands in town. I had heard good things about this place. We started out with an order of cheese sticks. About 2 minutes after ordering them, they were on our table. At first we were really impressed with the service, then we tried the cheese sticks. The middles were still cold, not cool, but cold. It took about 10 minutes for the manger to finally come over and ask if everything was okay. We got a fresh order, and ate some mediocre cheese sticks. I ordered the "damn good sliders." It would appear that they named this before actually trying it. I'm a big fan of chicken friend steak, but putting it on sliders is a terrible idea. Meat was tough and chewy. Had to take the sliders apart and eat it with a knife and fork. I saw several reviews raving about the jalapeno gravy, so I tried it. One of the worst things I have ever tasted. The flavor was awful. Fortunately, they had good ranch to dip the fries in. Save your money and time and drive past this place. I promise you, you won't be missing anything. read more

Although we live nearby we had not tried this place. One Tuesday a few weeks ago during quarantine we decided to get the chicken fry BOGO to go and it was ok nothing to rave about but good. Now that things opened up we went again. We weren't that hungry so decided to share a chicken fry. Wow BIG MISTAKE! It was fried so long we could barely cut it and once we cut into it we could barely chew it!! I guess they forgot about it in the fryer. The fries were like Freddie's fries-shoestring! And fried too long also! Ugh!! 1 star for the salad. It was the best thing we had. Waitress was only ok even though I think we were her only table. She was too busy pulling down her too short shorts and pulling up her barely there top. Will not do that again! read more

Food, service and atmosphere are great! We came during a Texas Tech football game. It was a perfect place to watch the game. Definitely coming back! read more

This place is a bar that sells some food. Service is meh. Prices are high for the food quality. It's processed, frozen food, nothing special. It's got a good vibe as a sports bar or to watch live music. They just don't really make much effort to serve good food. read more

Seems obvious to me that the owner/manager really cares about his customers. He and his wife gave up chairs at the bar for my wife and me. Thanks for a fun night. read more

Love the fried zucchini and burgers. Very fresh and not frozen! Service has always been great.

Last time I was here, this place had great margaritas, the chips were fresh and the food was great! Today my family and I went and boy, were we surprised!!! This place sucked!! There was only one waitress, and it took 45 minutes to get our food!! They forgot my salad, served packaged meat, and the chips were stale!!! My wife even found cockroaches in the ladies restroom!! Never will go back!!!! read more

IT'S SO LOUD!!! Friday night...if you want to go eat eat with some friends / family and have a nice conversation then go somewhere else. It is deafening. I would compare it to a concert. On Friday nights it seems to turn into a drunken cowboy fest. People were able to dance, which I guess is nice. More of a bar than a restaurant. Don't waste your time. read more

Best chicken fry I've had since grandmother passed. Seriously it was perfect. So crispy and tasty and stays on the steak which was real by the way. The rattlers for an appetizer were just as good. The chicken fry yes we are back to that was named in the menu as "damn good chicken fry" well it was all of that and then some. I'm coming back. Ok last words are about the wait staff. They Rock!! read more

Drinks are great. The only problem, is at 10:50 They refused to serve even chips and salsa to a full table that had already spent a lot on a drink tab. Come in for drinks if you're looking for a night cap, forget the snack though! read more

This is a great little BAR to get some drinks and listen to some live music. They do serve good food, but the service is extremely slow. Be prepared to be there for several hours for a simple dinner. Seating is horrible. I have been there waiting for 30 mins for a seat as it is often a free for all for seats. read more

Great place to grab a drink with friends! Get the appetizer sampler it's a great way to try a little bit of everything.

My wife and I always like to find different places to eat and after our movie we found this great place! Outstanding Service and the food was awesome! The Queso followed by fahitas was second to none. If your looking for a great date night place... This is it! read more

Great food and cold beer! Will be here many times to come!! A+++ great atmosphere and friendly people. Great place for the 30-50 crowd. Give it a go! read more

Started out very good. Service was great and food was very good. Now, yesterday was the last time. Service is a joke. Had to go up to the bar and ask for refills on our tea, not once but twice. Had to go find the waitress who was busy texting on the phone. Food is not executed well at all anymore. Meat was not cooked at all. Nothing like a chicken friend steak that is RAW. No more. Avoid read more

So my boyfriend and I came here tonight & honestly I've had better food anywhere else in Lubbock. SO overpriced. The chicken fried steak was so tough and didn't have any breading on it. Burger was mediocre at best. Only saving grace was the tea and onion rings. Staff was rude & got annoyed that we wanted to look at the menu for longer than usual. Better luck going somewhere else! read more

Wasn't impressed. Went in for dinner and ordered appetizers and drinks before our meal. They were horrible and nothing on the menu wasn't fried. We took our check and went for our main course somewhere else. Can't imagine we'd go back. read more

First and only visit. Mediocre at best. Positives first. Husband enjoyed his jalapeño poppers (which he did not order, but the waitress said he did and we were charged for them), and his fajitas. The atmosphere and decor is low key and comfortable. The host/manager was attentive and polite. Service was quick. Cons-the waitress was spacey. We had a view of extra miscellaneous chairs and empty wine boxes. The fried jalapeño rings appetizer was burned. I ordered a well done burger, it was a bland, preformed patty and pretty well incinerated. Weird tasteless shoe string french fries. Completely overpriced. We will not be returning. read more

We were looking for a new place to eat in Lubbock other than all the chain restaurants. We saw the reviews on Yelp for Back 40 Grill and decided to try it. I am SO glad we did! It is our new favorite place! We started with chips and salsa, and the salsa was very good. Just enough heat and flavor. The chips were better than average...fresh, light and crispy. I ordered a cup of Loaded Baked Potato Soup which was very good. My husband and I decided to split the Back 40 Burger with a slab of cream cheese and jalapeño strips. It was wonderful!! The meat was very flavorful and juicy...it was cooked just right! The shoestring fries were delicious. We topped off our meal with the Mud Pie which was to die for!!! The service was wonderful...friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Back 40 Grill. read more

This place is over the top! What a great lunch. Our server Reagan went above and beyond!

One of my stand-by favorites!! Amazing staff! Consistent food! Wonderful patio & love music! Largest salad in-town. Really nice & a lot of fun! read more

Tried B40 for the first time for lunch. I got the country club and my SO got the "big hick". We also split their fried cheese for an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious! the server (Ashley) was so nice and attentive! there was a gentleman who greeted us and was very friendly. overall a fantastic experience. could have been cheaper for lunch but what do you expect when you get whiskey and an appetizer too? will definitely be returning. read more

Mediocre drinks at best. Atmosphere was confusing with the 'steakhouse' decor and 20+ TVs. Seems like the owner couldn't decide whether to go for the nicer, Americana restaurant or full on sports bar. Highly doubtful I'll be back. read more

The only reason for the 3 stars is the server was awesome. As far as the food goes, definitively meh as the most. My husband got the mushroom burger and he said it was good. I got the grilled chicken, other than putting Montreal steak seasoning on it, it was nothing spectacular. Mashed potatoes are just that- boiled potatoes mashed, very dry no seasoning in them. We have been wanting to try this place for a while, we like the local places. So we can say we tried it, and leave it at that. read more

Not the best place in Lubbock. You walk in and notice a big rip in the only seat at reception. Seat yourself. Ok. No problem. Ordered tea and not very good. Tasted old. Ordered 1 of the 7 appetizers- of course, they are out. Ordered the special - chicken fried steak. 32 minutes later - still waiting. First and last time here. No thanks, will go to Subway for same or better experience but better food. Cracker Barrel has better and bigger portions. Saw server three times. Order, food delivery and check. Happy hour seems ok, but for dinner or entertaining out of town guests - don't bother. read more

I've been to the back 40 a few times now. The food is always good, and the service just rocks. Scott, the manager, always takes good care of his customers. The chicken fried steak is as good as ive ever had, and the jalapeño gravy is awesome. The bar has a ton of great house cocktails and great beer specials. read more

Love Back 40 Grill! Good food! Great service ! The great service is great every single time I come which is hard to find these days! Highly recommend this place to anyone who asks! read more

Love this place!!! Troy makes everyone feel welcomed and takes care of his patrons as if they're old friends. If you're in Lubbock, you should check it out. read more

We had amazing burgers and shoestring fries. It was a very relaxed environment, kid friendly, but not geared towards kids. Service was a little slow, but we we still taken care of. A little pricey, but worth the cost. read more

Could be a cool place but it lacks personable staff. The service takes forever. I have been here 5 times since they opened and every time I come it takes over an hour to get your food once you order it. This place is another local joint that could care less about customer satisfaction. I will say the only really good items on the menu are the soups. read more

The food was great with good-sized portions (my wife and I both took home leftovers). The jalapeño gravy is truly unique and worth a try. The service was fantastic as both our waitress and the manager made sure that we had a positive experience. I would certainly recommend this spot. read more

Chicken fry was large and tasty. Batter could have been a little more crisp. My waitress was great!

Service was verygood. Friendly staff and the onion rings were excellent but the fish platter wasn't very good.

I came with my husband who just loves burgers. He had the Hick-burger which was made with Angus meat. (I had to take a bite) it tasted like it came off the grill from your backyard. Perfected with all the toppings he loves to eat. I had the country club sandwich. I absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere. TV's everywhere. Service was great. Definitely coming back. read more

My fellow diner and I shared the chicken fried steak, which was among the best I have tried in many years. We tried both the regular gravy and the jalapeño gravy. Initially, the jalapeño gravy seemed a bit too spicy, but after several samplings, we preferred it. Be careful, though; when the check arrived, we found out that we were charged extra for asking for a portion of both types of gravy on the side. Although it was only a dollar extra, it would have been nice to know that in advance. We chose two sides among a few choices to go with this entree. We went with the mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables and both were very good and complimented the entree nicely. Our service was fine. We were overcharged initially for a beverage, but our server corrected this error and was appropriately apologetic when we brought it to her attention. We came here for dinner and were seated in what seemed to be the half of the establishment that was more "bar-like," which seemed somewhat odd since the other half that seemed more restaurant-like had plenty of open tables. The atmosphere was par for a sports bat in terms of noise-level (loud but not overwhelming) and ambience (lots of TV monitors displaying ESPN). read more

This place is really disappointing. Food is overpriced, extremely bland, and overall poorly done. Decor was pretty confusing and didn't work. Service was also pretty terrible. No reason to go here a second time. read more

Food arrived at same time as appetizer. Chicken fried steak was over breaded so much that it was doughy on the inside. Mashed potatoes were cold and tastes like they had been on a steam table all day. Homemade gravy and thin cut fries weren't bad, but definitely not worth over $50 for CFS, plain hamburger, 1 appetizer and waters! Didn't even apologize for the appetizer! Do yourself a favor and go across the street to Gators. read more

Food was amazing!!! Few places have I been that have such a wide selection on a menu where everything is absolutely amazing! Great food with a laid back feeling. read more
