Midpack, you might want to read your link a little more carefully. The Federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13/hr. So yes, most states have a minimum wage for tipped employees higher than the Federal minimum, that is higher than $2.13/hr.
In the table, I counted 44 states that had a minimum wage for tipped employees less than $7.25/hr (the Federal minimum for most employees). Servers in those states depend on tips to make it worth their time.
My daughter worked as a waitress for a few years while in college. Some nights she did quite well in tips, others not so much. It averaged out to just under $10/hr (hourly + tips).
