Came here to celebrate my MLIS and I am soooo glad I did. It was my first visit to Valdosta and I didn't want a big chain restaurant. I ordered the (36.99) "TRAIL BOSS" PORTERHOUSE 24OZ (medium well) and it was the best steak I ever had. I always use steak sauce and I didn't reach for it once! The bread was so fresh and fluffy and their sweet-tea was phenomenal. I am already dreaming about leftovers tomorrow because that's how big the steak was. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Austin's Cattle - "TRAIL BOSS" PORTERHOUSE 24OZ medium well - New American Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Wanted a cheeseburger, a good one for a while. Was in Valdosta and Austin's popped up. The place was as expected, top notch. The wait staff was good. The bread was good. The burger was large, a definite plus. LOTS of lettuce in one leaf, slide of mater and one thick cut ring from an onion. A bit more onion is appreciated. The burger was bland. Disappointing. The menu says the burgers are made from daily steak trimmings. I believe it. Just the trimmings, the part cut away because it doesn't do well as a steak. That is what burgers are often made from, but ya gotta add some seasonings to that kinda ground meat. The bun was large, fair to the taste. A toasting could have improved it a lot. Still want a good cheeseburger. Won't be back . read more

Stopped to eat while traveling through. Greeted by hostesses and seated promptly. Restaurant is clean and casual. Choice between sitting in bar or restaurant. Ordered the lunch steak and the beef tips, both come with two sides and bread. The meat was cooked as ordered and both meals were delicious. Will definitely return when traveling through again! It looks like they are building a new, larger restaurant behind the current location. Looks to be a local favorite, and I can see why. read more

Was traveling to Florida from Georgia to visit family and stopped at Austin's after calling for a take-out meal. Austin's staff were friendly, the service was on time, as stated, and the food was fresh and warm. Thanks for feeding a traveler! read more

Sat at the bar and had dinner. The bartender was friendly and accommodating to all our requests. The menu is extensive. My lemon drop martini was made just right. read more

Waited for table. Normal wait time of 30 min for Saturday night, no big deal. Used men's restroom while waiting. Saw small German roaches on floor , left bathroom and joined my wife at reception area and saw two more German roaches on floor scurrying away. People stepping over then. No thanks. We left and decided to eat elsewhere. read more

The bread tastes like cardboard. I call it depression era bread. I get it's cheaper than their old bread, but it has no taste.

Love it ambiance waiter were superb the Resturant accommodates big parties food was great

Great lunch today with my family! It was so good the new building is nice. Great service from Charlie! I love the beard Charlie.

For a motel restaurant on the side of side of I-75 south of no-where, this place is a gem! I've been here five or six times when I visit family in the area and I've never been disappointed. The prime rib is wonderful and melts in your mouth. The filet if fantastic and I can recommend the burgers and the fried shrimp (lightly dusted like they do on the gulf). Service is spot one! read more

We arrived on Saturday afternoon to the Sports bar section. Great food & drinks. It's nicest sports bar in the area. Excellent steak & sandwich options. Plenty of TVs for your favorite sports teams. This will be our go to place from now on. Gavin was our waiter & he was great. We definitely will return. read more

My ribeye steak (ordered medium rare) was RAW, and all but impossible to cut. Why not send it back? Because I waited long enough to get it in the first place. Even if it was cooked as requested, there was a coating of some kind of seasoning on it that was the saltiest thing I'd ever tasted. It was INEDIBLE. The baked potato was good, which for a steak restaurant is not high praise. The salad was just a salad...no thought put into it at all. The iced tea that I got was free, and that's something, I guess. The young lady waitperson was probably pleasant, but how would I know that? She never spoke above a whisper! Tired of playing the game of "What? I'm sorry...what did you say", I just took over both parts of the conversation, no matter what she might have been saying..."I'd like the Rio Grande Ribeye, medium-rare, a baked potato with butter and sour cream, and a salad with bleu cheese dressing, and that'll complete my order". My bill came to $40.28, or something close. I gave Silent Sally three twenties, which she took, and to her credit returned quickly. She put one of my twenties back on the table. Looking at her with confusion as I did, she said (I think) "We kicked in the twenty-eight cents". Um...that left me with not enough to leave a tip! She asked (rumor has it) "Did you need the change"? I said "More to the point, YOU need the change"! She understood, got me the change, and I contributed to her enunciation lessons. To sum up, Sally will be a fine employee someday, but the steak should have stayed 'on the hoof'...which it looked like, anyway. read more

Ooft I really wanted to like this place! We made a special stop on our road trip through Georgia to Florida and it had super great reviews but it was not great. The service was really good, our server was kind, patient, and very hospitable! Since this restaurant is connected to the Inn next door it is deceptively large with a dining and a sports bar section. My husband wanted to watch the basketball playoff game so we sat in the bar... such a mistake. The men in there were so loud and belligerent it was hard to hold a conversation because they were screaming at each other (it was just our two parties in the area). The bartender encouraged it all and it was a bit flabbergasting. My husband ordered the NY strip and was so juicy, cooked to perfection, and seared beautifully. I unfortunately had a bacon wrapped filet mignon that had sad and limp bacon, raw (I asked for medium), and very flavorless. It tasted like it was baked in oil and very unsettling. I ate a few bites before conceding that I would just grab some BK in the next town over. read more

Traveling from TN to FL and we always break-up the drive by staying in Valdosta overnight. Was in the mood for a good steak and there were a few choices to make. The woman at check-in for our hotel recommended Austin's Cattle Co. so we decided to try it. Our server was so nice & attentive. She brought us a small loaf of warm bread when she first arrived at our table. We ordered beers & she brought them right out. I ordered the 16 oz. Rio Grande ribeye, medium rare, with onion rings and loaded baked potato. My husband ordered the T-Bone, medium rare, with salad & onion rings. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and just what I was hoping for: juicy, flavorful & a nice thick cut. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, so my husband got about 1/3 of my steak! Onion rings were battered in a tasty coating and baked potato as expected. My husband was a little disappointed in his T-bone; thinner than my ribeye & covered in a spice blend that he wasn't expecting. He was wishing he had ordered my steak! He said it was good, but mine was better. Salad was good (nice & fresh) with Thousand Island and he loved the onion rings too. The place has a nice rustic decor...kind of like a ranch house. Will definitely be back next time we pass through. I thanked the woman at our hotel for the wonderful recommendation! read more

Service was great and the young lady said it was her first day. She did a good job! The salad,filet and loaded potato was all very good. Very clean and pretty restaurant. We will definitely be back when in Valdosta! read more

Bland food, horrible mixed drinks, so overpriced. Food delivered incorrectly twice, food had little to no flavor and presentation was lacking. Please do not eat here. read more

If you are heading south on I-75 towards Valdosta definitely stop here. Amazing steakhouse with great prime rib. Nothing fancy just really good food. read more

We're back here! Absolutely enjoy the food and drinks in this well established steak house. My prior review was in 2016, but we have returned a couple more times, like 5 days ago. And so we return 5 days later. Our usual run between South Florida and Blairsville is Valdosta, always choosing to eat at Austin's. The filet mignon is still every bit excellent, nice outside crust with a warm reddish center if you order medium. Cut with a fork. Tastes so delish that it needs nothing but a good bite The Cosmos were still perfectly created and I don't even ask for top shelf vodka! I'm still staying away from the wine since I'm a pseudo snob, lol. Beer choices are very good for hubby like good tap choices. Servers are so sweet and helpful. If food is your main denominator then eat here for 5plus food and drink Here's a pic of my medium petit filet read more

Austin's Cattle - New American Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

4.5 stars! This place kinda gives an antique country vibe, but homey nonetheless. The food is pretty good! I had no major complaints with my meal. As an appetizer, I had the cheese sticks. They sprinkle cheese on top and that was the additional chef's kiss I never knew I needed in my life. The Caesar salad was also good, the greens were very fresh. I came around lunch time and ordered the "gulf coast siesta" which contained tilapia, grilled shrimp, and a side of choice. I'm not a huge fan of tilapia, but it was ok. Nothing special. The shrimp were really good, and the accompanying sauce was like a spicy tarter sauce. I enjoyed it also. read more

Found this place at our layover in Valdosta on our way to Ellijay, Ga. Good reviews. Sat pretty quick with a bit of a wait I am sure because of distancing but no big deal. Great western decor as well as Stooges! Menu is large with lots of great steak options as well as very reasonably priced wine, beer and cocktails. We started with French onion soup. Really tasty. I would have liked more cheese but the flavors were there. Next we had the Wilmington island shrimp. Cooked perfect. Very tasty. Your typical coconut shrimp. For a main we landed on the Porterhouse. Great seasons on the steak. The cook was ok but seemed a little over medium rare. The house salad was really good and a nice portion size. 2nd side was rice pilaf. Very tasty. This was my favorite part of the meal. Deb got a side of onion rings. Really good too! I assume they were vidalia's as they were nice and sweet. Lightly breaded and the dipping sauce was delicious. We got turtle pie to go and enjoyed that in our room. A solid dinner spot with great service and reasonable prices read more

Wasn't sure what to expect. The place had good reviews but that's not always worked out for me in the past. Pretty quiet on the side me and my Buddy sat. Very attentive staff that were also knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the Buffalo Chips and a Delmonico Steak (MR) and my buddy ordered the Gator app and Catfish as the main. They definitely don't skimp on portions. Everything was cooked extremely well. I wish the steak would have been thicker but it was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pic looks a bit messy.... Presentation was not their strong suit. Also, get the Habanero Jelly.... Absolutely incredible! read more

First time at this place, loved the service, food was great, had the blossom onion, and a very tasty Prime Rib steak Place is much bigger than it appears, has like 3-4 different rooms with a very nice bar area hidden all the way in the back Definitely recommend read more

Awesome food and service. Best season steaks in the land. Bake potato and salad as simple as it, here at Austin's seems to have that extra freshness about it in taste and texture. Service is always fast and professional. They just don't miss! read more

I had to travel to south Georgia to work Hurricane Helene. This was a great place with great prices and good food ! The bartenders are Awesome!!!! read more

The New York strip was thick and juicy. The Philly cheese steak sub was so good with the right amount of peppers and's onions with a nice soft sub roll and juicy meat. Great sweat potato fries and garlic mashed potatoes. The service was a little slow but not bad. They may have been a server short. You have to ask for the complimentary bread or you won't get it. It was very good when I did ask for it. I would definitely come back here for steak! The restaurant is a good size but not overly noisy read more

Service, food quality, and atmosphere was wonderful. It was my first visit but I will definitely be back!

We came to dine at this popular restaurant and were very happy with the experience, from the service to the food everything was excellent! The complimentary warm bread with whipped butter that came before our meal was a fantastic appetizer especially when we were both very hungry when we walked in. The ribeye steak was good but the best was the prime rib which was so tender and moist that melted in my mouth. We love the decor which felt very warm and homey so overall it was an outstanding dining experience. read more

It's what's behind the front door that counts. Welcoming host desk, cloth napkins, comfortable ranch house interior. Our 1/2 lb steak burgers medium-rare perfection on toasted buttered bun offered with a cheese selection - we chose a smoked Gouda and a blue cheese. Sides from fries to healthy steamed broccoli. Will stay on our list of places to visit again. read more

The people of Valdosta recommended I go to Austin's Cattle. A colleague travel with me from the Philippines went with me. We had the Prime Rib 16 oz meal which was a lot of food! Excellent Preparation! The restaurant is large, we ate in the bar area which was also recommended. I have another upcoming trip to Valdosta, I plan to return to Austin's Cattle again. read more

Was driving through Georgia and stopped for dinner with the family. Had a nice warm loaf of bread served for the table, and our steaks were cooked to our liking. Over all the food was great and the hospitality of the servers were what left a great impression on us. My children's favorite part of dinner was when they went to go see the big gator hanging in the bar. read more

8/28/24--This eatery has ample parking and a well-appointed interior, giving it a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying a good meal. My server was on the ball and made sure if I needed anything. I had the prime-cut beef kabob with onions, green pepper, and mushrooms, which was delicious. Give it a try, and you'll be delighted. read more

Today's trip took me to Valdosta, GA with my friend from Maine. We had a late lunch at Austin's. The atmosphere was wonderful, and clean. Our server, Emma, was very nice and very attentive. The food was served hot and was very delicious. We all ordered something different and there were no complaints among us! When we are next in that area, we will be sure to drop in again! read more

I had the filet mignon and it was a good tender cut of meat but it really didn't have much flavor to be honest. The garlic mashed potatoes were ok, the bread was ok, the salad was good. To be honest I like Longhorn better and the price is about the same. I like to support local businesses though. It was also extremely loud in there. Of course there was quite a bit of a wait for a table and it was between lunch and dinner time. Service was good, I think she was relatively new she had to go ask questions a couple of times. The food did come out in a timely manner for as busy as it was. I do have to say that my dad did really enjoy his catfish dinner. read more

What a great place to get really good prime rib! This place is a must if you feel like eating steak, prime rib or shrimp. That is all I tried, but I'm sure everything else is good. Garlic mashed potatoes, stir fried peppers and onions, all good. Place has a sports bar that is inviting to solo diners or those that just want a drink. They're also big enough to accommodate quite a few people. Check them out! read more

Austin's Cattle - Prime rib, medium and blackened shrimp combo. - New American Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Great prime rib and good happy hour prices. Went to the bar and got the same bartender both visits which she was great.

On our way through Georgia we stopped here for dinner. Busy place, but we immediately found seats at the bar. Bartender was awesome, great personality and gave us a lot of information about the items on the menu. The gentleman sitting next to us told us he stops here about once a month as he travels this way for work. He suggested the prime rib. We ended up getting the prime rib, which was excellent. Great bourbon old fashioned, the wife had red wine which she said was very good!! read more

We loved it! Food, drinks, service...all of it was great! Ambiance was fun and energetic... can't wait to stop again for dinner there.
