las brisas

orderedsteakfor 2 medium rare, could not cut it sent it back and the manager sent out 2 very small fillets about a 20 dollar value but charged us 55 dollars for the originalsteakwe couldn't eat! we will not be back!! there is allot better steaks for less money just about anywhere in lbk!

filet was extremely good. the mash potatoes where very good. the atmosphere was fantastic the wine was extremely good and we all had a very nice evening.

i have to say the presentation of thesteakon a very hot plate with melted butter was a very good idea.

if you like feeling let down, have low expectations, and you don't know a goodsteakfrom a bad one... i recommend las brisas!!

just left the brunch. ordered the prime ribsteakthat was supposed to come with vegetables and choice potatoes and was given a prime rib sandwich with sweet potato fries... let down to say the least. that's when i noticed the lipstick on my glass.. also my wife's filet was very tough. tasted and chewed like a sirloin.

service was mediocre and that's being generous.

don't waste your money here. if you do, i hope they treat you better than we were.

i went here for my college graduation and there were a lot of people in my group so i was expecting poor service...boy was i wrong!!! everysteakat our table was cooked perfectly, which rarely happens at the other steakhouses in lubbock. we ordered the appetizer sampler, lobster mac & cheese, baked potatoes, and creamed spinach. all of which were stellar and delicious. the lobster mac & cheese and creamed spinach sent me straight to heaven. the sides portions were huge and we got to take home a ton of leftovers. the wine list was impressive as well. i dont understand why there are so many negative reviews on here and i cant wait to go back to las brisas for my anniversary in a couple of weeks. loved every single thing about this place.

i enjoyed the red wagyu ribeye. the service was pleasant and the portions were generous. compared to chicago chophouses this place is moderately priced but the smoker friendly patio added an extra layer of comfort. if you think 20 dollars is an expensivesteakgo to golden corral.

lipstick on a pig.... when lb first opened, they were primarily just a mexican food restaurant. i was ok with that for a bit, they weren't trying to pretend to be something else. then i got food poisoning from their chili relleno's, bleh thank lb, now i can't eat them again! then they made the big switch to being a "high class"steakhouse, too bad they forgot the high class part, and the good steaks part....all they changed was their prices. it's one thing to add a little spice or a little upscale to your menu, but stop trying to be something your not. this place is a joke, and i have no desire to drive 10 miles out of my way for an over priced, poor servicesteakhouse. if you want good mexican food you can go somewhere else, if you want a goodsteakyou can go somewhere else, if you want good service you can go somewhere else... easily 2/10

good times. we went on a saturday night. very crowded, but they got us in - next time we'll make a reservation. the server was polite and antentive. the menu is pricey (but i wouldn't say overpriced), and from the reviews on this site i'm going to say they may have changed the prices recently. steaks come with one side, which is one side more than you'd get at pappas or any of the other bigsteakhouses, and are less expensive than at these places. i'd say the quality is on par. i had a filet. it was cooked perfectly with a nice char on top - a rarity in lubbock. a friend had the bone-in ribeye - the biggest i've ever seen. my wife had the sea bass - cooked perfectly and actually a nice sized portion (and fresh, as opposed to frozen, i might add) - both, once again, rarities for lubbock. salads were good. we all had house salads, and there was some flair to them as opposed to the same mundane brown lettuce, cheddar cheese, bacon, and tomatoes you typically get in the area. the wine selection makes you feel like your in a big city (500 selections, maybe - all quality). overall, a very nice experience. i've eaten here in the past, but it's been a while. this visit seemed better than i remember it being. looks like this place is on the up-and-up. be prepared to drop a pretty penny, but it won't disappoint.

mediocre. great food, when compared to an applebee's. las brisas wants to be a premiumsteakhouse, but is falling short. service staff is not trained to be premium servers, hostess is more or less ambivalent. why does everything have to come with asparagus and if you want something else, it costs more?

meh. las brisas is not as good as it used to be. i just went for the first time in about one year and everything was different. the service was great but that was the only good thing. thesteakwas bland and too chewy. the asparagus also had very little flavor. they charge $2 to substitute for a different side, which is ridiculous. they used to give two sides but now they just give you one. even the tea tasted different! i always thought they had really great black tea but now it just tastes like bland lipton. this would all be fine except that the bill was $100 for two people and we didn't get any alcohol. i will not be going back.

prices are outrageous for asteakthat is not up par (dry, no flavor, seemed un-seasoned), especially for how highly i've heard of this resturaunt. i could have made a bettersteakat home on my own. will not be returning.

still not good. this is my second review and the place still hasn't improved. my family and i made brunch reservations for 11:00. we ordered by 11:30. our food didn't arrive until 1:15!!!!!!!!! it took almost two hours!!!! we complained repeatedly and all we got was the excuse that the kitchen was "slammed" but everybody around us was getting their food quickly. i realize that every restaurant can make mistakes but the kitchen is slooooooow - consistently. our server was busy and frustrated - i don't blame him. my ribeyesteakwas nice and tasty, but everybody else didn't finish their meals because the food was either cold or rubbery.

yuck. i've been forced to eat here a couple of times because some people i know like to "be seen" since this is a fancy, junior league kind of place. my husband and i have never ordered anything that we were happy with and the food is totally overpriced. service is sloooooooow. i didn't like it when it was named firewater cafe and i still don't like it now. their parent restaurant harrigan's is so much better.

not so great. we visited lb on our last frip to lubbock. we love to try new steakhouses each time we visit a city, so my hubby and i were excited about this place. waiter was really nice up front- chatted with us and gave us some ideas on other restaurants during our stay. food arrived timely, butsteakwas tough. waiter seemed a bit put off that we complained, but i ordered mine med, and was more med-well to well. didnt take it off of our bill, either.

in bone ribeye. thesteakwas not that great .. maybe the resterant is going for ok

in bone ribeye. i think thesteakwas ok but nothing like mortons or ruth chris ,. the streak is not aged . the price is high and not really worth what you pay .. i have been a round the world and no one in lubbock will do a good agedsteakplace .. i think that the service starts to hurt brcause the lack of staff. i think it is over priced and there cooks need to slow down and make mysteakright.

reading these reviews is amusing. it is either the best, or the worst ever. the staff is the best i have ever been part of. very professional and attentive. of course, there are some weak links. but overall, the best hands-down. along with the steaks, ribs, seabass, and jalapeños. come judge for yourself;)

i know alot of these bad reviews have been written by former employees who are simply speaking ill. this is by far the best restaurant in town! i have worked at 14 restaurants in my life, corporate and non. this one cares the most about it's guests, employees, and our owner is always improving the menu and property. come see what all the fuss is about! visit our amazing patio and have a black angus prime cut of the beststeakin texas!

rip-off. the service was terrible; the wait staff is not trained or supervised. the medium filetsteaki ordered was cold and raw in the center, it took 20 minutes to get anothersteakand by then my baked potato was cold. this is supposed to be an upscale restaurant with very high prices to match but falls far short. they have a "cook" and definitely not a "chief". a total waste of money, there are several good restaurants in lubbock that have owner involvement, this is not one of them. their manager does not have a clue what an upscale restaurant is.
