    This was my second time eating here and I was looking forward to their delicious Lamb Chops but they were out so I opted for a Steak. It was delicious, perfectly spiced and cooked and a wonderful baked potato done the way my grandma baked it with a foil jacket. It was terrific. Everything we ate was great and filling. We were so full no one had room for dessert. Good reason for a quick return. As for service, it was perfect. You know the type that is always available and gets things done and refilled quickly but not hovering. Great place!

    This is the best steakhouse hands down. I bring all of my friends here. They all love it too. Everything about this restaurant is amazing. And the live music is their cherry on top. The weekends are even better with the guys that perform. Excellent...5 out of 5 every time.

    Always a lovely, authentic, reliable restaurant for good steaks and ribs. The bar is a lot of fun and everyone is friendly. The music was delightful. The place is very comfortable and it’s a little jem in Sonoita.  it’s old and historic and it’s really heartwarming to see all of us local’s continuing to support it.

    The Steak Out is - by far - our favorite place to spend a great evening. The atmosphere is welcoming, the people and service are exceptional and the mesquite grilled steaks are superior to anything we’ve ever tried before. It’s everything that’s great about southern Arizona in one place.

    Filet was a little thin compared to last week,,,,and somewhat overcooked, Apparently a wedding rehearsal was taking place and staffing and service was consumed by that,,,,thus slower service,,,,overall a good experience,

    Food was great. Server, Toni, not so much. She was rude, snide, and put out. When my Sister inquired about which size steak to order (sizes not listed.), it was met with “How do I know how much you eat??” ,” How am I supposed to know what fills you up??” In a VERY snide tone. NOT the answer to give paying customers who travelled over 100 miles round trip to eat at your restaurant. The attitude continued throughout the meal. The food was GREAT as usual, but I refuse to ignore the manner in which we were treated. I have been to your establishment some 20 or more times the past 4 years, and this has made me rethink the drive. The redeeming fact remains that this was the FIRST time we experienced poor service. The rest of your staff is top notch. Toni on the other hand, I will not be subjected to her ever again, as this was more than likely our LAST trip to the Steak Out.

    Hi James, We are truly sorry to hear of your experience with your server. We have discussed your feedback with her and used this an opportunity to improve her service in the future. Toni has been with us for over 40 years. She actually does all of our in house meat cutting - so she is the expert on our beef choices. We are very sorry she was not able to answer your questions better. So glad you enjoyed your meal and we hope to see you again.
