Went to this place on Friday night for the first time. I had seen it driving by over the years, but never captured my attention. Fast forward to Friday, 5/29, when I saw a deal on my credit card's portal with restaurant.com. After seeing the deal and clicking on the site, I decided to look into what restaurants they had in Lubbock. Back 40 was one of about 4 restaurants in Lubbock on this site. I was able to purchase gift cards at a discounted rate to redeem at the restaurant. We go and, in short, we were told that the new owners, Jeff and Tina McCreight, had no clue what we were talking about, but IF it was legit (excuse me?!?!?) then they would NOT be honoring it. To add insult to injury, all communication was done via the waitress, even though Mr. McCreight was visible on the floor the entire evening we were there and even approached at least one table next to ours multiple times. As a result, I contacted the credit card company after we left. Credit card company asked me to contact restaurant.com, which I did earlier today. The website gladly refunded the gift cards ($100 worth) and stated they would be in contact with Back 40, as they were in violation of their contractual agreement. As a result of all the above, we will not be returning. Two stars are for the attentive waitress and pretty good, yet overpriced cuisine. Unlike the proprietors, we're being generous.

On 21 Feb 2022 my family and I attended this establishment and were expecting some decent food. Especially since the average plat was over the $12 range. I am giving this place a 1.78 star rating due to the lack of attention to the food preparation and and the service we experienced. My wife received an overcooked burger that can be compared to a gourmet McDonalds burger. My shrimp tacos had potential. Three shrimp to a taco, but the flavors were on point like OJ in the 90s. Sadly the foundation lacked pizazz. The tortilla was not cooked at all. Even Taco Bell puts them thru that steamer deal before they serve them. My side dish was quite the disappointment as well. I grew up in what most people today would call "the struggle" and I know boxed macaroni and cheese when I taste it. And if it wasn't boxed macaroni and cheese and was house made, BRAVO!! for making homemade food taste like cardboard junk. The straw that broke the camels back was when my daughter dropped her drink and three employees watched it go down and all they did was call our waitress. Not a single person came over to offer a towel for a quick and easy clean up. Mind you we were the only ones there. Will I come Back here?? Probably not . I would hate to see the service and product they produce on a busy day. With the $52 I spent here I'm sure I could pay an amateur chef to muster up something a lil more decent.

We had dinner last night at The West Table, and it was truly a 10 out of 10 experience…read more We started with a couple of cocktails and the goat cheese croquettes. The croquettes were excellent, and the berry sauce added a bright, tangy complement that really elevated the dish. For our entrees, we had the teriyaki ribeye with flavorful mushroom fried rice, as well as the swordfish, served with perfectly executed risotto and roasted vegetables. I like my ribeye cooked rare, but with the fat properly rendered, so I ordered it rare+, and it was executed perfectly. The swordfish was equally impressive, beautifully cooked and paired wonderfully with the risotto and vegetables. Our server, Saidie, was outstanding and made an already great meal even more enjoyable. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. We highly recommend The West Table and will definitely be back.

I was in town for work and decided to come here for dinner with a colleague and we both left with…read morethe same impression that it was a nice place but the food was lacking! We ordered three appetizers and were not wowed by any of them! Most dishes completely lacked any seasoning! I rarely add last to my food but the fried green tomatoes badly need them as they lacked flavor and the tomato was very hard to eat! The goat cheese croquettes were fine but the shishito peppers could have also done with some salt. We also ordered salads and waited a very long time for them - to be fair I think the server was waiting for us to finish our apps which we did not do so we stacked the plates at the end of the table which worked! Bizarrely the salads had no dressing!! Mine was a beet salad which was great and did not need any but my friend had a house salad which absolutely needed dressing which they kindly bought when requested! It's cool looking place and our server was lovely but the food needed a little work!
