The service was good, the food was even better. It was very fresh and the coleslaw was some of the best I've had. The grilled lemon was a nice touch. It was late so not much to speak on the vibe of the place. read more

Wow. How bad can you get? My company negotiated a 25% beverage discount. Did I get it after I politely mentioned it's lack of application? No! Bartender would walk off in the middle of ordering food 2x Menu was limited and boring. So... All six of us walked away to a nearby Mexican place. Me, nor my coworkers , will ever eat here. Easily a 250.00 food order thrown away. WOW. Wow wow wow. Zero stars not an option. Wow. Current and future coworkers will avoid eating here. read more

Went for dinner with 3other friends. We were only the second table eating. Service slow! Finally ordered and when the server finally brought the meals she tripped and dumped it all on the floor! Back to the drawing board. Manager came out and profusely apologized but offered no compensation. Server rarely came to table considering we were her only table. Had to flag her down each time I needed water. At least the food was good. I had the braised short rib and crispy Brussels sprouts. Both outstanding. Typical slightly overpriced hotel food. Chairs at the table were uncomfortable. Probably won't be back... read more

I went here with my wife because we were craving a dinner that we haven't tried before. The food was adequate and I would honestly give the food to three stars. We got the braised short rib, which is seen in the picture. We also got the bruschetta for the appetizer, which was a little bit on the expensive side. The reason I gave it two stars is because the service was so slow. It took the servers a very long time to get us food or even take our order. It took even longer to get the food to us. I know it takes time to cook food, but this one felt even longer. We didn't even get our water refilled during the entire dinner. read more

Pecan Grill - Braised short rib - New American Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

So this review is for the bar food only. I cannot afford to eat in their main restaurant. Which is an issue they need to correct. Cannot ask folks with a per diem to pay 50 bucks for a steak. Now for the bar food, has the pecan salad and smoked wings one evening and a burger for lunch the next day. The salad was nothing to write home about. Their house onion sauce wasn't great. But hey it's a salad. The wing? Delicious. Hint of smoke, great flavor, sauced well. Would eat again. Now the burger for lunch? That was damn good. I hate when a place asks "how do you want it cooked" because normally it's just a frozen patty they throw on the grill and it is what it is. Not here. Not this day. It was a fresh hamburger, burger. Cooked freaking medium. Blew my mind. Had great grill marks. Super tasty, great bun. Yeah I was diggin' it. While it's a $18 burger and tots, have to say I would order it again. Syoy read more

OVERALL Pecan Grill is probably as good as it's going to get as far as fine dining goes in Lubbock, TX. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING There is free street and lot parking within walking distance. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The Pecan Grill is inside the Overton Hotel. There is a full bar area, some outdoor dining, and a classy dining room. The lighting is a bit low. There are linens on the table and funny prints of cows with blue pecans everywhere. THE GRUB My girls and I had a nice, quiet dinner here on 12/23/2022. We were one of only a few tables that were occupied. + Maple pecan old fashioned ($12) - best cocktail I had + Enchanted Spice ($13) - an older menu was in included in the menu I received. This was a "drink of the month." It was okay. + Two-person charcuterie board ($24) + Chicken noodle soup ($5) + Scallop sauté ($32) - I enjoyed this paired with the Texas caviar fried rice + "Aftershock" ($8) - we were real fans of the ice cream, but the cookie was good (too spicy for my kiddos. Lol). Just huge and extra sweet. The name suited this dessert of "Chipotle-spiced chocolate--chocolate chip cookie topped with house-made Shiner Bock ice cream." Christmas Eve dinner entailed a special menu: + Williamette Vineyard Pinot Noir ($14) - loved this wine! + Baked salmon with roasted winter vegetables and tarragon cream sauce ($28) came with an appetizer and dessert. I chose the "Pecan Grill salad" which was nothing special but still a fresh, healthy choice and Southern Bourbon pecan pie. Their pecan pie was absolutely delectable and close competition for my Granny's recipe. + Red velvet chocolate martini ($13) - I ordered this per our waitress's recommendation. This was super sweet with a good vodka & Bailey's kick. Our waitress must have felt bad for an accident that occurred (see below) and did not charge me for the pumpkin cake with spiced whipped cream my daughters wanted to try. Adult breakfast buffet was $17.50. I really enjoyed it because they had an omlette station. They had to track down the cook for me one time. There was also a do-it-yourself Texas-shaped waffle station. Small yougurt bar. Some hot food items such as scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, biscuits... and fruit. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB They did not have anything that my kiddos wanted the first night. We weren't given a kid's menu. For the second dinner, one girl had kid's mac and cheese ($5.95). The other girl had sliders - apparently not from the kid's menu for $12. She didn't enjoy the thick steak fries with them. Sodas and iced teas were $4 each. Because we stayed at the Overton, I received vouchers for our Christmas even breakfast buffet. I didn't get any vouches for the first night. Not sure why. The child breakfast buffet costed $6 per child. SERVICE Service was mostly friendly, yet, a bit slow at times. MY FAVORITE PART... Spending Christmas Eve breakfast and dinner and Christmas breakfast (2022) here with my two daughters, ages 8 and 9. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... When our waitress accidentally dropped some glasses and glass went flying into my daughter's chair. At first she wasn't going to clean it up until I said something. I know she was probably nervous, but they should have moved us to a new table at that point since we were no where near done. Also, the restrooms - while very clean and classy - are quite a trek away. read more

I would give 4.5 stars if I could. We easily found close parking and enjoyed seeing the lovely lobby of the hotel complete with fresh flowers. The door of the restaurant is very nice and upscale. We were promptly greeted and seated, and our server arrived right away. Did you know that some of the staff here are students in the hospitality program at Tech. Our one disappointment of our meal was that we immersed ordered a grilled cheese for the toddler who was dining with us, but her food was not delivered until the grown up meals came. All of the food was cooked to perfection and delicious. For the quality of food, the pricing seems good. read more

We chose Pecan Grill after a Google search of "best restaurants in Lubbock, TX". TripAdvisor gave them an award in 2022 for just that and we happily made plans. We were promised a short wait for our table and the friendly hostess didn't disappoint. Our server was friendly, probably newer to the restaurant (she didn't understand the question "What is medium here?" when we were ordering our ribeye, but at least she seemed to make good recommendations, or so we thought. Appetizers were disappointing. Watermelon caprese pieces were way too small, maybe marble sized. And the watermelon in the watermelon caprese tasted like it was turning sour, but they were so small I chose to overlook it, thinking it was a one off. The smoked steak Oscar was supposedly ordered and loved by two patrons before us. I was not impressed by the flavor or texture combination at all, but we ate it, all 3 pieces for the 4 of us for fear of the entrees being miniature after seeing the appetizers. To make things even worse, unfortunately, 2 of our 3 entrees weren't very good either. The Shrimp with Linguine was supposed to be shared between me and my youngest. But it had an unpleasant taste - similar to vinegar or a not very good, turned white wine, no hint of any other taste, and my son refused to eat it. Totally not like him to not eat a shrimp pasta dish, but I wouldn't eat it either because he was right, it tasted "funny". We also ordered the ribeye medium and were promised a "hot pink center" - perfect, we thought. Keep in mind that my husband worked at a steakhouse when we met and knows his steak. Sadly, the steak came out overcooked (hardly any pink throughout, see photos). It was late and just past our kids' bedtimes already, and we needed to get up early to get them to their competition. Our shrimp pasta dish was bad, but we didn't think we had time to order any replacement meals, so my husband offered half of his meal to my son and me. Reluctantly, we decided to choke down the tough-to-cut steak. When the manager came to address the shrimp dish, we mentioned the steak amd showed it to him and he apologized for both, seeming to indicate that he would remove both from our bill. It turns out he was only willing to remove the pasta and we were left to pay for our overcooked $44 ribeye. The great news is that the staff were all friendly and the ambiance was nice as well (hence the 1 star). The one entree that wasn't bad was the Tuscan chicken dish, while not bad, was not impressive either. But my teenager wanted his protein intake for his early competition so he ate most of it. Be assured that we will not be returning here or referring it to anyone either, because the MAIN reason to go to a restaurant is for the food and we feel there are better places to eat and especially to spend $130 on dinner. read more

I've been pleasantly surprised on both occasions, when I've dined and had drinks at the Pecan located in the lobby of the Overton Hotel and Conference Center. It's a little pricy but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." I've been impressed with the food quality. My most recent visit I had the Pecan Burger. I asked for it medium rare and it was.... I love when that happens. The patty was huge, juicy and delicious. The cheddar, jalapeño bun, and veggies were fresh and complimented the patty well. The fries, which are more like wedges, were excellent, I just wish they gave you more. I also ordered the chicken and rice soup. It didn't look like much but tasted homemade. My previous visited included a sandwich. I've since forgotten what kind of sandwich it was but remember enjoying it, along with the clam chowder soup. Employees are friendly and ambiance is great at the bar, dining room, and outside patio. When the weather permits, I would definitely take advantage of the outdoor area. read more

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. Don't get me wrong the food itself is great but not good enough to make up for the snobby uptight and rude service. Our waiter was a younger male and was about the rudest person I have ever met. We had to get our own silverware and he never came to see if we needed anything. I wouldn't be surprised if he made us walk to the kitchen to get our own food!! Whoever raised him should be ashamed! TERRIBLE and needs to be fired asap! read more

The restaurant was very slow and we were only one of four tables. Our meal took about 2 hours from start to finish. We waited an hour for our entree. A waitress noticed us waiting and asked if we were waiting on our dessert! I told her that we were still waiting on our meal! We got the meal for two people that had the steak, some pasta dish, beans/greens, and ice cream. The steak was good, but the pasta was so dried out and the beans and greens were literally cold canned beans and spinach. There was no flavor. The ice cream was so freezer burnt and barely even edible. It was honestly disgusting. I was so disappointed. We spent $200 on a very mediocre meal. We tried to have a nice romantic dinner and walked away very disappointed. I do not recommend this restaurant and your money is better spent elsewhere. read more

The food is good/decent . The challenge with this place is that the service is so, so, so slow!!! Even when the restaurant/bar is empty. I've had to ask the servers multiple times- for salt, my bill & the water never arrived. Unfortunately, it's not a one time deal. I've been here about 10 times and every time, the service is terrible!! Expect to get your drink and food for a while... if you plan to go here. I think it's my last time coming. read more

I ordered filet and scallops. I got New York with gristle. Filet mignon has no gristle. Cooked the way I wanted it. Hopefully it was a one time error. They comped me a glass of wine. Service really good! read more

Terrible terrible terrible service tonight. The issue that had occurred tonight could have been handled way more professionally by the restaurant manager on duty. Three of us ordered to go. The server offered to send our food up as room service with no extra charge, which we gladly agreed to. She informed us she needed a manager to help her void the service charges and that she would be right back. Unfortunately, we were left waiting around for an hour for our receipts, however, The female manager on duty said she watched us when we came in, and insinuated that we were lying. To be more accurate on the actual time it was 54 minutes. She then informed us the time our tickets were actually put in, which just validated that our server had forgotten to put the order in. People in our group who decided to dine in had ordered 20- 30 minutes after we did and received their food in a timely manner. Our credit cards were taken for payment and held for over 30 minutes. Which is always unacceptable. There's was no communication to what was going on and why. Our server apologized for the mistake and situation, which we appreciated, but it would have been nice for the manager to empathize, listen, fix the situation, and have a genuine apology as well. P.s. The cherry on top was the fact that our food was cold. read more

I have eaten here several times and it was always so nice. It's been a couple of years. I chose to bring my family here for breakfast to celebrate our graduate. Our food tasted good. Our server was not friendly at all, she would leave the table before we were finished speaking. It felt like we were bothering her. One order was incorrect but we weren't told the kitchen was out of an item, they just subbed another item without asking. One meal was ordered late and arrived about 15 mins after the rest. The service ruined the meal, honestly. read more

Really upset with the manager. Sat down for dinner to have their advertised Hamilton buffet, with a 15% discount if you show your tickets. We are staying at the hotel and have show tickets for the following day. We showed our waitress our tickets and were already started on the buffet, when another restaurant employee named Dustin came over and said our tickets had to be for the same day. He said his manager told him it's the policy. So, I asked to speak with the manager, and he confessed that it's actually him. WHAT A COWARD! The advertisements around the hotel say nothing about offer only valid on the day of your tickets. Even after pointing this out, he still would not honor it. If we knew this was the case, we would have eaten somewhere else. Will definitely not eat here again. For what it's worth, our waitress Alicia was very nice and tried to smooth over the lousy attitude of her manager. UPDATE: at the end of our dinner, Dustin came back and said the "boss" (still not sure who's in charge here) said it was okay to offer the discount. I appreciate him doing this, as it improved our first impression of the hotel/restaurant. read more

Had horrible service no people skills. Didn't check on our table. My daughter's order was wrong and we were told that they didn't have chorizo after they brought her the omelette. They forget to put in my oldest daughter order and it took 15 min after we all got our food. Never asked if I wanted a refill maybe we only get one drink I dunno waitress never communicated. Her quickest time was taking the check other than that lackluster service. read more

This is an ok hotel restaurant. Not over priced like most places. The basic brunch is $12 and the buffet brunch is $19 and includes the basic items as well. The basic brunch is ok. The eggs look like that fake foam bubbly stuff but the bacon, sausage, fruit, oatmeal, waffles, etc are decent. The seating at the tables is comfy and there's plenty of space for large groups. The decor is a cute Texas theme fitting to west Texas. Service is absolutely horrible. It takes a while to get dirty plates removed and even longer to get a water refilled. For breakfast you'll wait 20-30 minutes for a table of two because they don't bus tables quick enough. Overall a decent place to eat breakfast. Prices aren't horrible and the food is ok. If you can overlook the service you'll have a decent time. read more

Everything was excellent!! The restaurant smells like a pecan pie candle. Very comforting and homey atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly! We started with the kettle chips and warm blue cheese dip. 5 out of 5 stars on that! The prime rib chicken fried steak was a huge platter! Major comfort food and no problem substituting mashed potatoes for home fries. BLT was plenty stuffed and choose from several different sides. Friend got the French dip for second week in a row so must be great! Trying that next time. No complaints at all! Shocked at any bad reviews. read more

Meh. Super disappointing experience all around. This was my first stop on my week long trip to Lubbock. I ordered the "smoked" deviled eggs and the Texas Bourbon Wings. I was expecting to be wowed by the deviled eggs, since they are a signature dish. They were extremely bland and the bacon Jam was the only part that was supposedly smoked. At $9 for 4 deviled eggs. It was very underwhelming. The wings were small and overcooked. I've had better for far less $$$ from fast food restaurants. read more

Went for Thanksgiving dinner after numerous recommendations. Quite possibly the worst service and food I have ever had. It look 30+ to be acknowledged by our server. We were never offered any drinks other than water. Other patrons were served hot rolls, but we didn't get ours until we had already spoken to the manager, and then we weren't given any butter. We waited 90 minutes for our meal, and when it was served it was inedible. The turkey was burned, and brittle; stuffing had large chunks of very dried bread that couldn't be chewed; green beans were cold and mushy; potatoes were like wall paper paste. The only edible part of the dinner was the cranberry sauce. Kobe (a shining light in our evening) attempted to bring us dinner off of the regular menu, but it was just as bad. We finally gave up and went home after 2 hours without having our turkey, and very disappointed. Our server was absent for most of our evening. I did request to speak with Kobe's (the manager of the restaurant) general manager who was working that evening, and he never came to speak with us. Overall, the evening was an epic fail, but I have to give props to Kobe. He recognized the the horrendous food, and did everything he could do to fix it. I wish his manager was as visible and helpful as he was. You've got a star with Kobe...too bad you can't clone him! I would welcome communication from the powers that be! read more

This is a very nice looking restaurant. The ambiance is good but tonight was a down night for this place. The wait staff was very nice but since it was 5ish it seems they were required to do other things besides take care of patrons. They were running around but not always to tables. I order the lobster fritters which were ok but the they seemed a little dry and over cooked. Not tasty enough to want to order again. My entree was a medium rare ribeye with Crab Oscar. Well it came out with out the Crab but I told them not to bother since it took so long to get food. As I cut into the steak it was medium well with almost no pink. I would have still ate it but it was so bland and the meat looked gray with nice heavy grill marks. I told the manager about the steak and he took it back. When my new steak arrived it did have the Crab Oscar. The steak was properly cook but still low in flavor for a steak of this caliber. The crab was good and thankfully had a nice flavor. The sauce though was overly lemony and took away from the food. The green beans I had were well seasoned and tasty and the second plate had warm broccolini this time. No one was impressed with t their entrees but the Cessar salad got good reviews along with the Brussels sprouts and potatoes. When the bill came, they charged me full fair for the steak and the crab and no apology on the ticket. So I would suggest looking to other venues if you are visiting Lubbock. read more

My gratitude to Chef Doug Noxon for preparing the most beautiful, clean & delicious #paleo meal! Update: 4/26/3017 This A very poor excuse of a fruit platter, most especially at the cost of $8.

25th wedding anniversary. kids wanted us to have a magical night. i can't even tell them how great the service and drinks were because I have bit my tongue at how bad the food was. how is such an expensive steak served so cold that the butter doesn't even melt? heating up an already cooked cold steak under an open flame does heat up the steak and rubberize the lobster, and also serves it medium. the chef was out so we irritated a cook. I promise we will never irritate the cook ever ever again. did we want a free anniversary desert? nope. we'd already pissed off the cook sending the food back. twice. read more

My wife and I were traveling through Lubbock and needed a nice spot for dinner. Our hotel across the street recommended this spot and we're glad they did. Our waiter, Frank, was great! The food was outstanding, especially the avocado & chicken soup, black eyed peas and lamb chops with tomato grits! Unexpected for west Texas, but very well done! Those dishes could rate 5 stars in any Dallas or Houston restaurants, shame on me for not thinking that you could find as good in Lubbock! Well worth the time & money (not expensive at all) to find this jewel! read more

Parents came in to visit and we went here for dinner. VERY below average. Prices are a bit ridiculous and you could totally tell and taste that the food wasn't fresh and just heated up. My brother ordered a 10oz steak and when it came out it was absolutely not 10oz. It was tiny and looked like they thinned it to be half of a steak. The service was not good and awkward. We told them the food wasn't good and one of the ladies just looked at us and hovered over our table very awkwardly. It was uncomfortable. Very unimpressed, huge waste of money. I haven't had a negative experience with the Overton until then. read more

Don't set foot in this restaurant anywhere near Valentine's Day. They will spring a $70 per diner prix fixe menu on you once you're already seated. (A prix fixe menu is one with a set price, from which one must order every course from an abbreviated list.) I called to make a reservation on Feb 11 for the following day. They made no mention of the special menu. An email confirmation of the reservation also did not mention it, nor did the hostess as I asked to be seated. Only after my date and I were seated and the server approached was the menu mentioned. This was a *first date.* Obviously this made her uncomfortable, and although I was annoyed, there was no graceful way to back out at that point. The charcuterie board was half overripe fruit. The salads were wilted. Entrees were fine. The dessert was overripe chocolate covered strawberries. The meal would have been a poor value at half the price. In a more relaxed social situation I would not have eaten most of the food, as it should have been thrown away at least a day before. I won't return. read more

Pretty good food. Especially for a hotel. Good service and clean place. Would go back.

I ate here with my grandparents on a Sunday night. We arrived around 6:20 p.m. and to start off they took forever to bring us water which was warm with no ice. As more people were seated I noticed their water had ice, so I'm guessing our pitcher was sitting there for a minute. We asked for a wine menu which took at least 15 minutes for our waiter to bring back. We looked it over and it took at least 30 minutes for our wine order to be taken, and another 15 to let us know they didn't have that wine. Prices were extremely high. The sides were exquisite and so good. Two people at our table ordered the 12 oz. ribeye medium-rare, and when we finally got our food after an hour, they were definitely underweight closer to 10 or 9 oz. One steak was definitely medium-rare where the other was probably medium-well. The restroom was not well kept and very dirty. As we were leaving, we noticed so many parties waiting to be seated which was unfortunate because I knew they closed in 45 minutes. The atmosphere is very beautiful, but it's not worth the quality of service and food. read more

I've eaten at the Overton many times. I've enjoyed mostly everything I've eaten. The smoked Gouda bacon Mac n cheese is decadent. The breakfast skillet is probably my favorite. Two eggs over brisket with potatoes onions and mushrooms and covered in cheese. But what made me decide to write to review was specifically their potatoes in their breakfast dishes. They are always cooked just right. I've never found that uncooked piece of potato that often happens with breakfast potatoes. They have been tender every time but don't fall apart. As an at home cook I had to give them kudos because as simple as this sounds it's difficult to get a breakfast potato "just right" but they've mastered it. I haven't been disappointed by anything in the menu although I wasn't a fan of the tomato grits with chorizo, the sausage was a little too spicy for my taste . Maybe it's the southern purist in me. But the fried green tomato on top was good. I highly recommend. I've had the burger and deviled eggs and I still plan to have the peaches and cream French toast. The house salad with the candied pecans is a winner too. I highly recommend. I've enjoyed eating here, to go. read more
