Savage Tiki Lounge — Restaurant in Lubbock

id like to preface that i and all of my friends are in the service industry, and i have worked many brutal brunch shifts. we noticed many unbussed tables (totally understand that- it was packed) so we bussed some tables and turned the carafes into the foh station, the bartender sam yelled at my friend for that. at this point it'd been a while so we went to the bar to order a carafe. one of my friends had an expired id and informed us she couldn't drink. not a problem at all! however, the bartender sam was so incredibly rude to other my friend for ordering a carafe. she said "okay" with no attitude to the bartender, and the bartender gave my friend her card back and said she wouldn't serve us with our attitudes. it was entirely understandable as someone who works at a bar up until that point. she made us leave. bad days and brutal shifts are inevitable and as previously stated we all work in the service industry, but never have any of us ever been greeted with such hostility by someone else in the industry. my other experiences at savage have been great! most of the staff is so sweet and great at what they do, but i have no idea why my friend, who didn't do anything wrong, was publicly humiliated.

hello - i just wanted to update here! the bartender named communicated this to me, but it was all a huge misunderstanding/miscommunication. i could've done better on my part to mend the situation to begin with & this isolated incident is not indicative of the service provided here. great bar, great people,...

Came here this morning (Sunday 8/19/18) for brunch expecting a good experience based on previously posted reviews. Ambiance is nice, roomy, clean, with a DJ playing tunes. The waitresses were pleasant and friendly. We decided to skip the brunch buffet and ordered straight from the menu. Decent price points, on par with similar breakfast places in town.

After about 20 minutes of waiting, the waitress informed us the kitchen was backed up and it would be a few more minutes. No biggie, I’m willing to wait for good food. 15 minutes later (35 mins in) waitress apologies for the wait and informs us our food will be out any second. Again, not a big deal. 1 hour in and still no food. I flagged the waitress down to find out if our order was even being cooked (I did not want to walk out and waste there food). Waitress came back a few minutes later to inform us our food was being plated and would be out any second. At 1 hour 15 minutes in turns out the food wasn’t being plated, but “rushed.” We left without food. DO NOT LIE! I doubt I will every come back. Too bad, because I love eating.

The conversation should have included, “Hey, we are really backed up, maybe an hour for your food, but we have this brunch buffet as an option if you don’t want to wait.” Instead I wasted over an hour for nothing. Hopefully, they get their act together and learn to communicate better with...

I had planned to go to 4/20 brunch on Sunday, but the banker couldn't make it. I had a brand new high performance e-scooter I wanted to test out, so I ride up that evening to lay eye balls on it. It was easily found and I rolled inside with my scooter and asked if it was ok she said out on the patio, there was an outlet if I needed to charge. I asked what they had she said they had a collection of Lubbock IPA brews. She said what do you like? I said thick and bitter, she grabbed a dark port. It was wonderful. Next a pilsner and she chose a can. I said Bottle? She said that was her choice. Delicious. Thirst quenching. The next was barkeep's choice and she just poured the glass and it was like dessert but it took sweet like a lemon wafer. I found the staff and the folks very friendly and an inviting vibe. I picked the one night it dead, and it was awesome. I still plan on hitting that brunch. They were glad to tell me all about it because evidently it's amazing. The Brunch drink menu was enough for me to...
