Maybe not as much as today but yes. Tipped wages were added to the FSLA at 50% less than a "regular"l minimum wage in 1966. They were decoupled from raises of the regular minimum wage in a 1996 amendment signed by Clinton under an Republican majority congress (Newt Gingrich was speaker of the house 226R(+1I)-207D and Bob Dole was Senate majority leader(55R-45D). This was the same Republican congress that forced government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996.
