The Steak Out

The steaks are the best on earth. In a Special Forces career I have been all over the world. This place was the best when I was a second lieutenant at Ft Huachuca and now I am a Colonel!The place burned down since I was there as a 2LT but the place looked even better.Brought family this time and they were blown away!The singer had a voice of a professional artist. He was a retired K9 police officer in Tucson and met with us after his set.

We came here during a wine focused visit to Sonoita. We were blown away by an outstanding steak, and an excellent blue cheese and ranch for their wings and celery. We really enjoyed the live music and fun atmosphere of friendly folks here - most seemed local and we felt like the only out-of-towners, but nobody made us feel unwelcome. We're very glad we came!

I've been coming to The Steak Out for years, every time I am in Southern Arizona. The Steak Out is consistently good throughout the years. Beautiful steaks, cooked as specified on mesquite wood, served with a salad and a choice of sides. It's rustic charm is always appealing. On Friday and Saturday's, they have live entertainment. While it can get loud, it is always enjoyable. The steaks are large, so come hungry or split one. Service is good, attentive, friendly-- just perfect. The full bar serves the best margaritas in the county. Bartenders are friendly and know how to fix your cocktail--just tell em what you want and you'll get it. The Steak Out continues to deliver.

Omg. How bad can a service team be. After waiting 10 min to be seated we were told there was only availability at the dirty glass covered bar. We sat on the incredibly uncomfortable metal bar stools and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited to helped or even the dirty dishes in front of us to be cleared. It's the opposite of hospitality it's just rude. It's been 10 min and we are still waiting for even an acknowledgment from the server.

No matter how many times I've come here for steak, I've never been disappointed. One of the best filets I've ever eaten. I don't need a knife. On the weekends you can normally listen to music being played while you enjoy your meal. A nice little country place to bring you back to earlier times. Service has always been good although I usually eat in bar area.

This place is underrated. Nice portions and wonderful flavors. It's the best steak house we've found so far in the area. We will continue coming back! Great service and staff. Nice ambiance.

Ambiance- Better than some of the pictures on Yelp or Google would indicate. Lobby has a nice smoky scent to it when you walk in. Many times there is a band playing starting at 6PM. Service- Consistently good. We have been here about 4 times and get good service all of the time. Food- The steak. Steak out has better tasting sirloins compared to the other chain steak houses in Tucson. This is the thing you go here for. The steaks. They do not give you any free carbs. No chips, no bread. You have to pay for what the other steak houses give you for free. Here is my beef with an item that you probably will order. Their baked potatoes are worse than Texas Roadhouse's or Longhorn's. Consistently dry and flavorless. Not sure what the chains know to do that The Steak Out does not, but be prepared for a dry boring baked potato. If you goop it up with butter and sour cream you probably will not notice however. Desert. They have some kind of a mud pie that has booze in it. I think 3 kinds. It is to die for.

I've driven past this sleepy restaurant many times. It's set back a bit off the highway between the Sonoita Inn and the gas station at the big intersection. We finally decided to give it a try and it looked pretty busy for a Sunday night. We were promptly seated and saw this is where the locals go for a proper drink and a meal. Great atmosphere and ambience, not a tourist trap and the folks there weren't "drug store" cowboys all fancied up. Service was prompt with a young lady that knew how to handle men! The menu has quite a blurb at the top left corner talking about world famous margaritas and secret recipe salad dressings, so I told her I wanted to go with the plan, which I did. The marg was OK, the salad quite good and the Sonoita filet phenomenal. Do check out the case of meat as you enter because you can see the relative sizes of each of the different cuts of meat offered. Then when you see the menu, you can figure out that the Sonoita filet is a bargain and a decent sized portion. There is a petit version that's an even better deal because the full Sonoita filet portion is actually quite a big cut for many and the petit Sonoita filet is still ample for most folks. Everything is cooked over mesquite and the smoky aroma appropriately infuses the meat. I asked for my steak blood rare and am usually disappointed by most restaurants with either blue raw or overcooked pink. Well, check my posted photo. That bad boy was bleeding pretty bad. Perfectly cooked to order and perfection. I was impressed, plus it was promptly served after we finished our salad. It was straight from the grill and hadn't been stewing under a hot lamp. Great execution and timing!There was a young local guy playing acoustic guitar and singing a wide range of new and old country favorites. He did a great job and best of all, you could have polite conversation with your table without being drowned out by the music or having to yell. This made for a really nice meal. I really liked this place and while not cheap, it was reasonable and good value. The bar is old school and huge, but is separated from the dining room so noise in there won't tend to disturb dining guests. I saw a lot of people eating dinner at the bar and at the tables in the bar.

The service is amazing i love every burger and fry, wish i could come here every day!

Our second visit to the Steakout was a fun time with a group of eight. The steaks were great - cooked to perfection, athough small for the price, I feel. The salad was also great - served family style (I had three helpings). Served with baked potato or cowboy beans. Their cocktails were creative, but also on the expensive side. The ambiance is fun, old West, and our server wasfantastic.Overall a good experience and I recommend thisestablishment!
