Lone Star Oyster Bar — Restaurant in Lubbock

Went with a friend around 9pm to get food and a drink. Walking in it immediately made him sick to his stomach, the smell of Acetone and sewage was atrocious. The bar tender told us 2 people had poo'd themselves earlier that day. I couldn't finish my beer so we left. My other friends wanted to go sing Karaoke & we wanted to check it out there, i work as a server for a karaoke event every week and wanted to participate on an actual night off... Gave it 2 hours for the smell to die down and went back. Smell was mostly gone or just acetone by 11:15. We get our drinks, no one was signing up or signing karaoke so I tried to get the ball rolling. Trying to sign up was not fun. I asked the girl doing the sign up is it thru karafun or do they have a list of songs we can look at? She snapped at me then crossed my name off the list without calling me, i was literally the 3rd person to sign up in 2 hours... Another girl 30 minutes later, im assuming felt bad, came and found me and asked me to go up but couldn't read what the other girl scribbled out. So I said sure I get up there, start the mic is on.... then the first girl who was being rude turns it off before the end of the first verse. At which point I dropped the mic on her table and walked away. This was my friends first experience in this bar and they were upset at the "service" of the staff. My friend got loud because of the way the girl was acting and we ended up getting kicked out. 10/10 do not recommend. Will not be back and will discourage others from ever going to a Karaoke night at this bar. I have tried around 15 trips to this bar to get a single positive review 13 of those times I brought people with me... always something negative happens with the staff or atmosphere. No toilet paper or paper towels in the ladies room.... the bottles taste like metal so beers are gross.... the rumple is hot like room temperature... it smells like sewage...

This establishment is the SECOND biggest joke I’ve ever seen in Lubbock. First and foremost, the bartender last night asked a male customer to walk into the women’s restroom to ask another female customer to get her act together and to clean up her throw up. IM SORRY…it’s a bar(?). People are going to throw up. It comes with the territory. The bartender is LUCKY that the customer didn’t throw up on the bar and went to a bathroom stall. Not only did she make it to the stall, but she also cleaned up any and all throw up that didn’t make it into the toilet BEFORE the male even walked into the bathroom. Aside from that though, the fact that she asked a male to walk into the female’s restroom is astounding and should not have happened. It’s just asking for a bad situation to happen. The entire establishment treated us like outsiders and made it abundantly clear that we were not welcome. We would never recommend this place. Merry...

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants to eat oysters. It was my birthday, and I wanted to have seafood. So we go to the place that we call our regular place. The service that day was absolutely horrible. There was waitress that seem to ignore you. And then, when the shift change came, there were four people behind the bar. But you still did not get any better service. The young couple that came in and sat on the other side of us asked after a short period of time if we had a waitress? And I told him well kind of. And within the next 5 to 10 minutes, someone did finally come and take their order. This was probably the worst service that we had gotten in a very long time at this particular establishment. There are other restaurants in Lubbock that have oysters, but we really used to enjoy going to this place. But after the service that we received, we probably will pick an alternative place to enjoy...
