I'm sorry to say there is nothing positive to say about The Steak Out. The service was poor and we didn't receive our food for over an hour (burgers and salads). Visiting family and friends took priority over customers and it wasn't busy. We were seated next to the kitchen entrance and the grill. The grill began smoking after about 30 minutes and it appeared the vent wasn't open. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said it was open. Four of us had the fries as a side and agreed they were cold and probably on the warmer for some time. The burgers were ok, but not worth $12.95. It's too bad they couldn't provide a better experience, because the location is great. The wine country has so much to offer, and to be disappointed after a meal wasn't the way we wanted to leave town.
Review Source:Tonight was not worth the $82 spent for the two of us. Because we drove 45 minutes to get there after decent reviews from friends, we decided not have any alcohol, and stick to cola. Our waitress upon bringing us our drinks asked us to try them to see if they tasted okay, as they had just changed the syrup.... That was the first impression, not too bad just odd. She asked us if we were ready to order and we asked if their onion rings were thick sliced or thin. The waitress said she wasn't sure, but they were from Costco, as we're their other appetizers. We chose the fried zucchini, and each ordered our meals. I ordered the ribeye, and my wife asked for the filet. The waitress asked us each how we wanted it cooked and told us the cook tends to undercook, so basically order appropriately. Our appetizer arrived and was obviously overcooked, even in the dim light. It was not edible. The waitress noticed we were not eating it and inquired. That is when we learned the fry lady tends to always overcook the appetizers. She took it off of our bill. The salads and two rolls arrived and they weren't spectacular. The dressing was good, but the salad looked exactly like the bagged version from the grocery store. Our steaks then arrived, and prepared how we hoped they would turn out. The steaks were good, but nothing that would really stand out from a chain restaurant. Our night wasn't a total bust, we sat for a little while eating our Costco deserts and enjoyed the live music. The place appeared clean and waitress polite and helpful- maybe too honest? We were looking for something off the beaten path, a diamond in the rough. unfortunately, we will keep looking.
Review Source:I guess I'll start with the negative. The soda my wife got was flat and the fries she got were cold. The positive, I got the steak burger and she got the hamburger which were very good. The waitress was very nice and quick with our food and check when we requested it. They do have live music on weekends too bit we didn't stay long enough to hear it. I'll admit the place was more expensive than I expected. Should be listed as $$$ instead of $$.
Review Source:This place is very South West 'authentic' and my husband, who is foreign, loved it. We went for his birthday and he ordered the biggest steak you could get- which came out perfectly. We had a friendly waitress who checked on us often, and everything went well. I had the half-rack of ribs which were very good. There could have been a bit more meat on them for my taste, but still, very flavorful. We've eaten at their other location in Tucson which is more modern. I think that the location in Sonoita is excellent for those visiting Arizona or for those who want to experience a Western style steak house.
Review Source:After my lack luster trips to the steak out in Marana people kept Saying "Oh you should go to the one in Sonoita," Lies! damnable lies! This place is just as bad!
so here they have a refrigerated case that you can see some examples of their meat and it IS lower grade than that which you can buy at sprouts, whole foods, or AJ's.
being that mothers day and my Special lady friend's birthday were on the same day we got roped into going to the Original The Steak out. look read my other review of the marana location here
<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-steak-out-marana#hrid:8jpMxf0KH8BmhsQImqP2sA">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>
the only thing this place had that was good was again the salad and PORK ribs don't bother with any beef here it is a waste of money and calories. pure and simple.
I dooo love the location and drive down there but if that is what I am after the connivence store next door sells jerky(that is better than their steaks) Â and muffins If the trip makes me peckish.
All The Steak Out locations can get in the boat with Fredo as they are dead to me.
Love the scene here, cowboy cool. Staff is friendly, food is fresh.  The blue cheese/ranch dressing  for the salad- a real winner when dressed  on their non-iceberg lettuce, and cherry tomatoes and yay- they use romaine, (unlike alot of cowboy fare you still find out there.)  Live music on the weekend is usually pretty good, and if you do want it a little quieter, step through the saloon doors to the bar and dine there- fun times!
Review Source:Very disappointed. Service was poor, unfriendly and sloooooooow!
Three of us ordered the ribeye and none of us could cut through the tough gristle. To their credit they replaced the ribeye with the filet which were great. Waitress forgot our drink order and brought the check without asking if we would like a dessert.
I asked to speak with a manager and was refused. On looking at the check found an automatic 18% tip!!!
We were told that because there were six  of us the tip was automatic.
Far better places around to go here again.o
Came here with friends since the restaurant came very highly recommended. Â I definitely thought the decor was pretty cool - very country and down to earth. Â (Love the big heavy front door when you come in!) Â It's kind of neat to see the history on the walls lining the entry-area. Â They have live music Friday-Sunday evening. Â The night we came, there was a small group playing guitar, fiddle, and banjo. Â
Overall, I was pleased with my main entree. Â I ordered the smallest prime-rib and my eyes bugged out when they brought it to the table - it was huge! Â I'm terrified of what their large size would be considering the "small" was bigger than my head. Â The meat was incredibly tender and cooked just right to my specification. Â They serve family style-salad (our salad bowl was a little heavy on the onion though...) and bread comes on request. Â All the other members of our party enjoyed their main entrees too.
Fun atmosphere! Â The place cleared out quick at about 8:30 at night (on a Friday night), but I guess there really wouldn't be a huge populace out in the Sonoita area anyway. Â The restaurant definitely had a good deal of business the night we came in, but I guess most people just wanted to have an early dinner that night.
After a nice long ride to Tombstone  from Tucson, we decided to stop at The Steak Out on the way back home.  I was quite hungry and looking forward to a nice juicy steak.  I had my heart set on a ribeye, but chose to go with the $38 Porterhouse.  I have a dog at home that loves the bone.  Wow!  What a mistake that was for me (My dog made out though).  That was absolutely the worst Porterhouse steak I have ever tried to get my knife through. The fork actually bent when using it to hold the meat while I am trying to cut this thing.  I couldn't eat it.  I mentioned this to the waitress.  She apologized and offered a round of drinks, which we promptly turned down and requested the bill.  This is not the first time I was disappointed by the quality of the meat at The Steak Out, but I generally give a second chance when I hear others rave.  All I can figure is those who left high marks and agree this is a reasonably priced steak house, must be friends of the family/owners.  This is a no-go folks.  Stop for a cold beer, maybe a burger (haven't tried that and not recommending it).
Pros:  Nice cold beer.  Nice  looking place/atmosphere.
Cons: Poor quality steak. Â Pricey. Â Not sure where the $$ comes from. Â Should be at least $$$.
Not for me. Â Kirk
Toni, our waitress, was terrible on two occasions. A good rule of thumb is to check on your table a minute or so after the food arrives in case something is wrong. I finished my entire meal before she ever came over so I could tell her my food was not made to order. A good server also scans the room frequently; instead Toni appeared to avoid eye contact with her tables. She schlepped around, unenthused to be there, was unfriendly, and took way to long to bring the check. She was not busy, no excuse for the slow, atrocious service. The food is pretty good, but poor service ruins the place for me.
Review Source:Discovered this place, I hesitate to review it, I'd really preferr to keep it to myself, b ut alas I AM a social person. When I find something awesome, I tend to share it. The Steak out is one of those, I went in with a jaded eye towards the steakout as I've been in a few other resturants in the area, and left disapointed.. I'll just be to the point, service was good, waitstaff personable & friendly, orders were taken, and food arrived pretty quick. Steaks were very tender & tasty, We've been back several times and will continue to visit. This place is a Gem!
Review Source:On motorcycle ride from Phoenix, stopped out front for gas and noticed other bikes parked at the Steak Out. We were happy to find tasty steaks, not beef that is covered with seasonings. Enjoyed duo playing on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Tasty margarita. For those not fortunate to have a designated driver as I always do (husband drinks nothing stronger than black coffee), the Sonoita Inn is next door. Our daughter is flying in for a visit in October and we have made plans to eat here after tastings at area wineries.
Review Source:My husband and I decided to drive down to bisbee, but the traffic on the 10 freeway was horrible so we turned around, and decided to take the 83 down to Patagonia instead. Â We were starving and saw Steak out. Â For years I thought it was a dive bar and place only for bikers since that was who see parked outside. Â But We braved it and went in.
The place was clean and neat, and I could see and the staff was very friendly. I had ordered the fried zucchini(my weakness) Â and a house salad. Over all everything was just ok. Â But I will if the opportunity presented itself probably go back.
Called ahead for reservations and dress code since we are out camping nearby. No reservation needed. This was on 5/30/2012 around 7:30 pm. We waited to be seated for about 10 minutes. It wasn't overly busy. I counted  six tables. Two waitresses. After we were seated she asked what we wanted to drink? There were four of us. My daughter asked for water. I ordered mine. She did not wait for any other orders. She came back with our beverages after about 15 minutes. Took our orders. I requested bread, which I never got. I ordered a medium rare steak. It came back rare. I also ordered beverages at this time for the other two in the party.  I never saw our waitress again, until time to pay. I ordered desserts and then it took forever for her to come back for our bill. By this time there was just our table and one other. I sent my grandson to ask the cook for our waitress. We had to be back to our campsite by 10:00 pm because they lock the gate. I was starting to worry. The food was so so. $28.00 for a steak not cooked to my request. Is a bit much. The dessert was pretty good.
Review Source:So disappointed and annoyed, I don't know where to start!
1) 15 minutes before we saw a waitress or even got water
2) never got the appetizers that we ordered
3) steaks horribly over cooked and tough
4) our bills were screwed up beyond comprehension. Both couples were double-billed (different credit card auth #'s)  but no one on staff  was capable of straightening the mess out)
YUMYUMYUMYUMYUM!
Stopped by with my brother & his wife for an early Sunday dinner on our way home from Bisbee. Â There was a duo playing some old-timey cowboy songs and a packed house. Â Perfect!
The service was pretty good- they were packed so it was a little slow, but we never felt neglected (full water glasses, beer refills, etc.)
The family-style house salad and rolls were just what we needed to take the edge off... and then some! Â By the time our steaks arrived, the three of us were thinking we were almost full. Â Luckily we got our second wind.
I ordered the strip steak, blue rare, and that's what I got! Â Love when a steak isn't overcooked. Â My brother ordered the baby back ribs and they were some of the best ribs I've ever tasted- absolutely cooked to perfection. Â Tender, sweet, and smoky-- just falling off the bone. Â I'm definitely ordering the ribs next time.
A big thanks to the cowboy singers, too. Â They honored our requests for Buck Owens and helped complete the experience. Â I'll be back here on my next trip through!
Seriously, we get far better steaks at the Tucson Safeway than I had here. Mine was chewy and flavorless; hubby's burger was okay, but not memorable. Service was indifferent  and we were 1 of only 3 parties in the place. Don't bother with this overpriced joint; continue up the road to a couple of truly good cafes when you visit S. Arizona's wine country.
Review Source:If you want a great steak with rich mesquite flavor this is the place. The owners Gracie and Michael were there on my last visit and were fun to chat with. The NY strip is their best steak followed by the porterhouse. There is live music on weekends and a full bar. Steaks come with salad and baked potato. The Steakout is well worth the drive from Tucson
Review Source:Stopped here for lunch before wine tasting. It was the day after Thanksgiving and it was quite crowded and they were not ready for that many people. The waitresses were nice but totally overwhelmed. Â But let's talk about the food...
I had albondigas soup, which was very nice but typical. My husband had a hamburger and it was excellent. I never order hamburgers because they are always over cooked and don't taste like anything except the toppings. This burger was nice a pink throughout (the way we like it) and had a delicious flavor, smokey and yummy. He didn't even use BBQ sauce, which he normally does just to give a burger some taste. The regular burger is small so I would order the large one. Honestly, it was the best burger I have ever had. I can imagine their steaks are excellent.
The onion rings were not good--I think they are frozen and it's a really small portion for $6.95. The fries are not that great either but there's not too bad.
The Steak Out would have been great if we weren't smart-ass customers. Our server didn't find us humorous as we walked in and joked about being indecisive about where we wanted to sit. Her rotten attitude carried over to the rest of the meal. Seriously? It was a Monday night and the place was dead! The salad and steak were good and we enjoyed the ranch-house sort of environment of the restaurant. Hope to have a better server experience next time.
Review Source:Although we weren't surprised to wait to be seated, post rodeo, we were suprised that, once seated, a server never appeared for our order. After getting the hostess, who put on a surprised face, we were given water by the busboy. The hostess said oh she hasnt been here? Well, no, thats why we got you? She said sorry, but we are busy....translate people around you are being served, attended to, but we are just too busy for YOU. Finally the waitress arrived , hardly concerned , took our orders for burgers, and left.....never to be seen again. After another forty minutes, we left. On our way out, the hostess was informed of why, and she made no effort to change our mind.
How hard is it to serve steaks and burgers?
Food was good to great but the service was terrible. Â The place was not too busy, but we had to ask for water, for our order to be taken and then we had to get up and find our waitress (who was chatting with the hostess) to get us our bill. Â And that was 15 minutes after she asked us if she could get us anything to which we replied "no".
Disappointed to say the least.
We went to the sonoita wine festival yesterday, and on our way back stopped for dinner at this steakhouse. The food was good, but could had been better. I ordered my steak medium rare, and I had to send it back on the grill because it was rare. Â Even the waiter was surprised it was that rare. When I got it back, there was a hair in my food. As we were checking out, I got charged for an appetizers that I didn't order. Food was very pricey too. Maybe it was my bad luck, but this place could definitely be a great steakhouse if they took care of the basics.
Review Source:I love the food here and have been here several times over the course of a year.  The burgers are so good, beef ribs messy but tasty and great steaks!  Skip the breaded apps (I think they are frozen) and go with the homemade chips and salsa-worth the price!  The service is spotty- sometimes 4-5 stars but sadly, sometimes a 2. If you go, plan on okay service and you won't be disappointed because the food and country ambiance  will make up for it!
Review Source:Holy Crap! I'm driving from Phoenix to Bisbee via the scenic route. I see a restaurant in a small town as they say, "in the middle of nowhere". I think that there about 6 or 7 other prominent business in the whole town that I can see. When I see "steakhouse", I'm thinking thin steaks grilled on a flat topped kitchen grill. Maybe some really good french fries if I'm lucky.
Cut to the chase... I had a rib eye steak that rivals anything that I have had in New York, California, and anywhere in between. Excellent tasty, and properly cooked and marbled beef. This place is an oasis for any beef lover. Great BBQ beans as well. They offered bread, but I declined, as I didn't want to overeat and then have to drive.
If you pass through this town, and feel like a great meal, make sure you stop. The only reason that I can imagine you might be disappointed, is that you had to drive so incredibly far to get a steak this good.
This place is great place to get a nice steak. It is out of the way, which means it is not over crowded. The atmosphere is old western. Several times they have had live music which was not bad. The cuts of steak are generous, tender and cooked to perfection over an open fire. I judge a steak house by trying the ribeye. Theirs has always been consistently above average. Â The ribs and sides are very good also.
Review Source:I love The Steak Out. Â The first thing I love is the name - there's no "Mastro's" or "Boa" pretension going on here. It's such good steak that they can get away with a bad pun.
Given the popularity of a "sellout town dinner dance" on the local Sonoita fairgrounds, most restaurants were closed for New Year's Eve dinner - leaving The Steak Out  our only option.  The Man and I kicked off the evening with a bottle of Sonoita's finest red (yes, they have a booming wine business in the region) and placed our carnivore-lovin' order: filet for me (the strict "no sissies" rule means there would be no "petit" at the Steak Out). Medium rare. The Man had a half a chicken (yes, it was a large chicken).
So, salad and rolls were meh...though who really cares? I mean, what kind of pansy goes to the Steak Out for lettuce and bread?
But OH THE MEAT...as soon as our kind and friendly waitress settled those plates on our table and we caught a primal scent, The Man and I reverted to some kind of cavedwelling tribespeople, focused entirely on sinking teeth into juicy, succulent, PERFECTLY COOKED meat, pausing only for the ornamental sip of wine or forkful of baked potato. Emerging from our protein-induced trance, clean plate for me and picked bones for him...we looked deep into each other's eyes, satisfied, knowing we'd just fulfilled our ancestral meat-eating destiny.
The rest of the night was awesome - we swung by the dinner-dance, which welcomed us as after-dinner drinkers and dancers - and rang in the new year with 100 new friends and fond memories of meat perfection.
We were hungry after driving around looking at potential rural lots for future living and we stopped by the gas station to fill a leaky tire and saw this place. We said what the hell and had some food and beer. Â On one hand I was impressed with the beer selection for a place in this location, and on the other I thought that many of the people that live near by are wealthy and may have more demanding taste. The T-Bone steak was really good. I was surprised that it wasn't locally raised beef only because there is a grass fed place near by but it was good for corn fed beef. I had the half rack of pork ribs. The flavor was great and they were tender but I must say I was hungry afterward. The service was good, we sat in the bar area. This place doesn't have a rural price tag so be prepared to spend some money. The decor is western just like the conversations we over heard at the bar. Lots of locals talking farm stuff. It was refreshing hearing about real down to earth bar conversations rather than my iphone this and my bmw that. I would go back.
Review Source:Not a bad little spot - food ranges from decent to tasty... they have a pretty damn good burger, a few salads and lots and lots of meat. The wait staff can be a bit lacking although one night we had great service while eating at the bar. Prices reasonable. Full bar. Some nights of the week it's the only game in town to get dinner. 3.5 stars
