It was our first time here the other day. Our server was very friendly, chatty and patient as we talked his ear off with questions! Lol! If he didn't have an answer he found one for us. However, they were out of the NY Strip that I wanted originally so I got the 12 oz Ribeye instead with grilled shrimp! I wasn't disappointed! It was SO delicious! And they wait to put your order in until AFTER the appetizers come out so you have time to socialize and nibble on them. The dinner salads are HUGE, you get a loaf of fresh wheat bread, and your drinking glasses are big as well. If you're looking for a good date spot this is it! It's a bit expensive but not as bad as I thought it was gonna be... However, it's seems like all high quality cuts so I expect them to be more expensive but it was cheaper here for us than at Longhorn Steakhouse! NOTE: We went before the dinner rush and after the lunch rush on a week day so it was quiet and quick service! (I imagine on the weekends it's a long wait though and very busy?) read more

What a disappointment. Quality of the food at the lubbock location was poor. Steak was burnt outside but rare inside. . Soup came out cold. Ran out of bread. Ran out of tea. Cheeseburger didn't have condiments had to wait a long time to get mustard majo. For the cheeseburger. No butter for baked potatoes. read more

The food was great, we had the filet trio and the urban cowboy. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, I could literally cut mine with a fork. Our bartender Dawson did a fantastic job making us feel right at home and provided excellent service! Overall was a great experience. read more

We were sat at a table immediately but only to then sit there for 20 minutes without a single person saying a word to us again. We were not sat in the back, we were in the middle of the restaurant and even the manager walked by us a number of times without noticing we still had menus and no drinks. read more

Listen! I have been to some of the nicest steakhouses this country has to offer, and yet I have never had a more pleasant hostess (Marley) and a more excellent server (Mark). I am beyond pleased with my experience. Not to mention the outstanding food. read more

I called in an order for carry out. Why in the world am I paying a delivery charge for them to carry it from the kitchen to my seat?? The guy told me it's "poor wording" and this is a charge for plastic ware. RIDICULOUS. I love Saltgrass but I won't be doing this again. read more

Saltgrass Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

We always have good food and good service when we go here. The steaks are always very good and cooked to perfection. We typically have good service here as well. read more

Saltgrass has delicious food, but this location has very slow service, which is so frustrating. I called for a Sunday reservation at 12:45pm. When we arrived, it took them 10 minutes to get a table ready for us I now see on this page that they are "no reservations" so wish they had just said so when I called. More important, the service from the kitchen was very slow. The wait staff was friendly, but there was not much they could do so hurry up the food. I will not patronize this restaurant again here in Lubbock. There are too many other choices! read more

Our reservation was for 7:30 (party of 15). We weren't sat until 8:45...didn't get to order drinks until 8:55...the first half of our party got their food at 9:15 the other half got their food at 9:40 (the first half had finished eating). Our waiter and management were less than helpful and showed no regard to our party. I don't understand why they would assure us weeks ago they could accommodate a party of that size - if the wait staff, kitchen, bar staff and management can't do their jobs. Do not come here unless you want to be disappointed. Go eat at Las Brisas...or Texas Roadhouse. read more

Another trip to Saltgrass...where one can depend on a solid, tasty steak and sides. Dependable, not outstanding, but good. Steaks, ribs, baked potatoes, good warn mini loaf of bread, what more do you want. The service is efficient and friendly, and you better have a reservation or be prepared to wait, or sit in the bar, like we did. Still good service, pleasant ambience and a bill that doesn't break the bank. read more

No salads on the lunch menu? Unless you get a side salad??? Really??? But, wait! You can order a salad off of the regular dinner menu, for $15.79!!!! Nope! I won't be coming back! read more

Saltgrass Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

*0 out of 5 Stars* The absolute worst excuse for service, edible food, and half decent management. Despite being gifted a place in the "Saltgrass member select club" our experiences at this particular steak house have been very disappointing to put it lightly. I don't know about you, but I just love paying $10 for a plate of eight fried m&ms (worlds smallest mushrooms) of the dark dark brown/old oil variety. This is about as savory as discovering your house salad holds within its depths, the dry aged coppered remains of the ice bergs core. The only thing that would make this opening scene better would be if it all happened over the stretch of 40 minutes WITHOUT DRINKS. (Spoiler Alert: it did indeed come to pass) It also seems to be the case that extremely slow service (waiting 20 minutes for a brown through and through cooked steak, that was supposed to be served as medium RARE, to come back out is seen as acceptable by not only "new servers", but management as well. Great. Not only does the fact that management deems a brown frisbee worthy of being called a medium rare steak raise a red flag, but the attitude of arrogance, flippantly futile "effort" to fix the numerous problems, and the outright disagreeing with the oh too patient CUSTOMER combined made for a very pleasant and savory end to the week. I'd like to say that once the check was brought to the table, all was adjusted to make up for the many mistakes made in the not so savory hour. However, we were pleasantly surprised at the DOUBLE CHARGE for the frisbee steak and DOUBLE CHARGE for the brown M&Ms ... I mean deep deep deep fried micro mushrooms. I have never felt so great a need to type a review sharing such a negative experience, but then again I have never had an experience as negative as this. Caution to anyone with any sort of expectation for decent service, quality slab of beef, and monetary fairness. You. Won't. Find. That. Here. read more

Again food was cold, mangers comes over get the food take it in the kitchen,must put in microwave or something bring the food back with butter on top cold again. Same stark. Not cook again a new steak but the same cold steak, are friends steak is under cook but she doesn't want to say anything. Bar waiter not not friendly at all. Only time one is friend when we get up to leave. Mangers was very cool but the food suck again. Last time we had bad food bad service that's why we don't real go that much. read more

Wow came here for a late lunch 2:30pm. We have waited almost an hour to get our food. They claim to be short staffed in the kitchen but i just read other reviews with same issue. Disappointing. read more

Service was ok but steaks we ordered were not much more than warm. Fried shrimp was not even that. Would blame it on being really busy but they weren't. Maybe that's why read more

Amazing food, service and great atmosphere! Chris the manager has a servant's heart. The staff are courteous and prompt. We enjoy our date nights at Saltgrass Seakhouse. Mike read more

Saltgrass Steak House in Lubbock, Texas has become a favorite of ours. We live in Abilene, TX, which does not have a Saltgrass, so a visit to eat one of their delicious steaks is a must. The restuarant is always clean, including the restrooms. For me, if the restroom is messy, there are broken or worn locks, dryers, towel dispensers that don't work, I suspect the kitchen is the same way. If a restuarant can't keep the public areas clean, why would they keep a non-public area clean? We were seated in a booth and the floor beneath the table was clean and the booth seat was not cracking, but in great condition. Greeting at the door has always been quick and friendly; striving to seat one where they feel the most comfortable. Due to light sensitivity, I always ask to have shades dropped. This request was immediately accommodated by our waiter, Pearson. Pearson was a delight and one of the best waiters we have ever had. He was very attentive, always checked our table as he walked by to ensure our drinks were full, we had plenty of bread, and to see if everything was to our liking and taste. The manager Chris (Kris?) L. also made a stop by the table to see if all was well with our visit. He was very pleasant inquiring how the food was, how service had been, and just visited a few minutes in general. Turned our he knew people in Abilene we also knew - small world! We ordered the 16oz Pat's rib eye. We were going to share the steak, and our great waiter, Pearson, had them cut it in half for us while still in the kitchen. The steak was a perfect medium and the flavor was delicious. The salad was large with some of the best soft croutons we have ever eaten. We had baked potatoes which were cooked to perfection and the extra sides were generous portions. The bread arrived to the table hot and fresh. My only wish would be for an extra butter for the bread. If you are in Lubbock, Texas, and want to eat great food somewhere that feels like home, I could not recommend Saltgrass Steak House more. read more

Great food , always cooked to my picky specifications. Service is always on point. Friendly and courteous staff. Love the chopped steak, grilled chicken salad, and brisket hamburger. read more

I went in for the first time and sat the bar and Dejah took care of my friend and I. She was a great bartender and had a great personality! And on top of the great service the food was amazing. I will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful server. Garbage food. Happy to pay the money when receiving a decent meal. First and last visit here. read more

We were using a birthday reward at lunch. Evelyn was our server and she was just right on her attentiveness. She got the order right, came around to check on periodically and when we had additional requests, she was quick to resolve it. We ate off the lunch menu and had shrimp and steak and chicken fried chicken. Food was served at the right temperature and steak was cooked perfectly. We also had a white cosmopolitan that was new and delicious! The ambiance was fine, but it was very similar to other large chain steakhouses. Management came by and visited as well. All in all it was a great lunch! read more

Second visit. First visit was a hit, great steak. Today, pretty bad, i think the cooks thought that since salt is in the name of the restaurant, they needed to over salt everything. Somebody please get me a bucket of water to rehydrate my kidneys! Service was ok. read more

I had the same experience Roy had. Arrived and promptly seated by a courteous hostess. Our waitress was very pleasant. It took 10 minutes to get our wine, 20 minutes for the salads to arrive and over an hour for the steaks to come out. My steak was cold and my associate's was over cooked. And the presentation was at best bland. read more

Saltgrass Steak House - The Filet is so cold it will not melt butter. - Steakhouses Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Ordered food to go. Half of the food was missing. This is the second time this happened at this location. Not sure if they are just careless or if this is purposeful to save money. Obviously it's the last time we go here. read more

Worst steak I have had !! It has so much gristle I could hardly cut it had no flavor at all.

Food was good, I was at the bar and food took so long to come out. I never got my salad and when I said something about it she said I'm sorry about that!!! And that was it. I won't go back to this Saltgrass! read more

We went in on Thursday around 7:30. The table we were set at had mashed potatoes all over the floor, which i stepped in and said something to the hostess... when our waiter finally arrived at our table i mentioned the potatoes on the floor to him, he just said idk!! We ordered appetizers (jalapeño poppers with shrimp). Brought our drinks back with some old bread (i ask for a new fresh bread) and we placed our order. Waiter came back and said they were out of the appetizer so we said we would just take our wedge salads before the meal and just not get an appetizer. Our food arrived and i was missing my Mac & cheese. My husbands baked potatoes was cold, would t even melt the butter.. my steak was cold, like it had set in the window too long, the only flavor it had was like a dirty grill... finally our ticket came. I told our waiter that my steak was bad and that he had charged us 5.50 for each wedge salad which the menu said upgrade for 3.49 and he was supposed to not charge for asparagus since the potato was cold, all this for 90$, the manager never came to the table and i never got fresh bread, the waitress for the table next to us brought her table 7 breads in a to go bag since they were closing and those would be thrown away!!!! And they turned all the light on high at 8:45 to start cleaning which means to me that you want your customers to leave... we will never be back!!!!! read more

We was a party of 6, when we set in the server section, she just looked at us at a distance. We waited for 15 mins. Another table set in her section and she went and greeted them and service them. We just was looking around, another server saw us that was in a different section came and apology and took care of us. By him being in a different section, we barley saw him to get the service that we deserve as a guest. Her section grew to 4 table and we watch as she worked around us attending to the other tables in her section giving us a disgust look. As a business owner of a restaurant, I would have fired her on the spot. Multiple business are closing down and a server refuse to serve a table for whatever reason she had is not acceptable. I have video of her doing so. Our bill was over $200 and to be treated like that was disguising. SMH read more

I love to eat here but today was an off day my salad was limp and came at the same time steak salad and Mac n cheese The steak was colder than the Mac ..?? The waitress didn't ask anything after I took one bite of steak and spit it out it was over spiced and DRY!!! So 25$ salad it was for today read more

Friday night, the place was packed. I get it. I made my way over to the bar and patiently waited for a seat. Once a seat became available I sat down and browsed the drink menu, then put it down. I waited patiently as the two bartenders rapidly passed me 1/2 a dozen times without making eye contact or acknowledging I was even there. They proceeded to ignore most everyone at the bar and were snippy if you tried to flag them down and order. Service was awful, you honestly needed 3 bar tenders to keep up because those two couldn't handle it. Finally got my drink order, about 20 minutes later when they had time they took my food order, 30 minutes after that I finally got my steak. I ate it fast and left. I won't be returning here on a weekend ever again. read more

I love Saltgrass. I've never had a bad experience at one. I had to come try it since it's a new restaurant here. I got the Pat's ribeye with a loaded baked potato(minus the bacon) and a Caesar salad. I love that they bring a peppermill to your table for the salad as I love freshly ground pepper. It was delicious. My steak came out perfect, hands down the most tender steak I've ever had. My boyfriend LOVED his bacon cheeseburger. Multiple servers and managers came around making sure our dining experience was a good one. I definitely recommend trying it. It's well worth the price! read more

I ate there on Friday and had the chopped steak with onions snd mushrooms with the cognac sauce. It was wonderful. The service could not have been better. I am a member of the Landry club and used my birthday $25 c credit if you are not a member I suggest you join you also earn credit when you have meals there There chicken fried steak is outstanding. I have always had wonderful service. If you are going I the evening I would make reservations read more

I was here for work and the first time I ordered food from the bar to go and the bartender was not friendly and she had no organization as to whose orders she should take first and I waited for over 10 minutes before she even acknowledged me. I went back the second night because I was tired and it was close. This time I sat at the bar and waited over 10 minutes before she acknowledged me. Either she is overwhelmed or has no need to earn a tip. She clearly has favorites that come to the bar and she acknowledges and bends over backwards to service them. I'm disappointed in the service and will not recommend this place or come here again. read more

We have had dinner twice at Saltgrass, and twice the service has been horrible. They are always running behind, the meals were cooked incorrectly , and both times it took 40-60 minutes to get our dinner; after we sat and ordered. This time we had a reservation and they still ran behind on seating us. As a Landry's Select Club member it's just disappointing that they got it wrong twice. Texas Roadhouse has a better Porterhouse steak and we have not had this type of experience there. read more

We went again. I ordered the shrimp and chicken tender platter. Sorry...shrimp flavor was good but over cooked. Same with the chicken tenders. I mean, the tenders were border line..border line dry. My broccoli had no flavor. Salt please... That's not too bad. My hubby got the grilled chicken sandwich. Awesome! Fries were excellent as well. read more

Went to meet a friend on a Sunday evening. Got seated around 4:30pm, left the restaurant close to 7pm because it took forever to get our food, and then the food was terrible. I had my 2 y.o. son there basically having a tantrum because the food was taking forever and our waitress seemed as if she was avoiding our table. I got the salmon, which was over cooked, it wasn't even pink, and a side of Brussels sprouts that just looked like a shredded mess. This was our third attempt coming here, and we will not be back. Back home in Houston all the Saltgrass restaurants are tasty with great service, this location needs to get it together!! read more

Looking at the reviews, I am thankful that our family lucked out in having a good meal here. The food was pretty good and staff was nice. Wait was long, but just means high demand at lunch hours on weekends. We had a large party but they had very ample waiting lounge space with a fun South Western cowboy atmosphere and design which was fun to walk around and look at! I think the only thing was that they lost one of the meals we had ordered at our table so either the staff never put the order in or a staff must have accidentally grabbed for another table so our Grandpa had to wait a little longer for his entree but we had gotten soup / salad and appetizers so it wasn't the most terrible thing to happen and we had a really large table of over 10 people so he was glad himself that that was the only mix up that happened. read more

Quality place. Every so often the bartender forgets to put my to-go order together properly but it's not the end of the world, although there have been times I've had to travel back to the restaurant to get an essential part of the meal. I do enjoy this place overall. read more

Table of five to celebrate a birthday. Started off with rattlesnake bites which were good. Not too hot (spicey). I had a lunch 10oz Ribeye (medium), wedge salad & baked potato. Ribeye was 1/2" thick, no juice left & absolutely no red. Taste was good for a well done steak. I asked for Ranch on the wedge. I got blue cheese with a strong cheese sprinkled over it. I ate the center of it. Baked potato was good with lots of butter. Bloody Mary was excellent...small glass but good . Wife took a filet mignon (medium well) and potato soup and sweet potato fries. Sweet potato fries were great. Filet was over cooked and lacked flavor. The soup's flavor was bad,like it had been over cooked. Waiter was Tim and he took good care of us. Five people for lunch was $144 read more
