horrible waitress service today 2/24/26 at about 12:30pm. My parents went to eat on their 58th anniversary and they had a rude waitress. All they did was order their drinks and food and she forgot about them after they got their food and had a rude attitude. Just despicable for mediocre food. They will not be going again and i recommend not to for anyone in that area near albertsons on yarborough. read more

We hadn't been at Great American Steakburger in years, and what a reminder of what we had missed! The food was amazing! My husband had the medallion steak plate, and I ordered their famous green chile cheeseburger, minus the cheese. Super-delicious! The restaurant itself was as welcoming as ever, and the waiter was friendly, polite, and attentive. Recommended! 5/5 read more

Awesome food and great service. Not pricey at all. Theres plenty of parking. Highly recommend this place.

We are beyond grateful to this restaurant- owners and staff. We planned a surprise retirement dinner for our dad and they went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you very much for making this special occasion seamless. read more

The steamed veggies are the best in El Paso and the portion is humongous! We had a lovely waitress, very pleasant and sure kept our drinks refilled. I had the country fried steak which is usually awesome. Not so much today. It was so overcooked that the breading all fell off when it was cut into. This must be my week for overcooked meat! Hopefully next time will be back to normal. read more

Burgers were cooked medium and rare as ordered, but dry no juice. Temp of burgers was wrong, the cheese didn't even melt. Forgot one baked potato and mashed potato in a cup wasn't even 3\4 full, gravy wasn't warm, no one checked the order. May have caught the missing potato. This was a Sat evening. read more

Food service always good. Been coming here for at least 25 years. Never a bad experience. read more

Great American Steakburger - My Lunch - Steakhouses Near Me - El Paso, Texas

So this was way better than anticipated! We were a large celebratory party and they had the staff to take care of us even though the place was packed. The food was so good! My friend had the steak salad- I never imagined that it would be so full and look so good- that is what I am getting next! I had the burger and it hit the spot. There is enough variety so that there is something to definitely make your mouth happy! read more

The owners of this restaurant used to operate one in Tucson, Arizona. We missed it so much that we drove from Tucson to El Paso for our anniversary dinner. We both ordered fish- I got the broiled Haddock dinner and hubby got beer battered fish sandwich with fries. It's still the best coleslaw he's had in his life! I forgot just how good their ranch beans were The owners and staff treated us like family ! It's a very nice relaxing place for 2 to dine or groups! We couldn't find fault the entire evening- it was delicious and delightful!! read more

Great American Steakburger - View of restaurant from the road. - Steakhouses Near Me - El Paso, Texas

You all know my love for (Um Um Good Eats) I didn't plan to come in today but when I saw the sign as "Great American Steakburger", I had to try out-can't miss it and won't miss it Here's my review based on the food I paid in full as long with my stomach, hahaha It seemed a bit odd looking burger house since it didn't have much of "mesquite or hickory" fumes as soon as I opened the door(there were "double doors" and you would be welcomed by "souvenir stand" huh? Almost all tables were occupied (good sign) but mostly moms and kids(not a good sign for good burger joints; no offense but no hunks&no smokes would lead to no good burger) Since this was my first time, i ordered Original Burger with Onion Rings and smoked sausage plates as appetizer - waiter told me that they didn't have a smoker and not much know as "BBQ" - I just wanted to know how on earth they put BBQ ribs, sausage and briskets in the menu without the smoker(I tried for you so you shouldn't order them - no need to thank me lol) I would like to ask the cook to grill the sausage then sliced them to serve - it looked like 1 sliced and 2. Finished in the oven or broiler Too greasy and not much of flavor but extremely salty (evaporated all the juice but sitting in the fat) But I enjoyed the OG steakburger - fresh and crisp vege set - 4 stars worth Onion Rings - Sysco or any food vendor items N/A ; not from the scratch Sauce - N/A ; I don't think not many burger joints make their signature BBQ sauce no more why? Service - very attentive and honest!! Gotta give him 5 stars for sure Clean Restroom- extra 1 point Overall-4 stars Honestly I won't be back this location since there are so many burger places I am hungry for but it is decent "family friendly place to dine in" read more

I had a terrible experience last night 3/25/25 at this restaurant. I am here from out of town visiting my elderly parents. I lived here over 10 years ago and had many fond memories of this restaurant growing up as my family and I would frequently patronage this business but that will be no more! To sum up the experience: The server Tamara brought out the wrong plate for my dad, they had to remake it. Same server brought out the wrong plate for me twice, so by the time I got the correct plate my family was done eating and my appetite spoiled. Note: Tamara never apologized for the errors and instead never returned to our table and never once did the manager come to our table to address the multiple order errors. The manager Jordan only came to us at the front with the cashier when we contested the poor service. Jordan was argumentative and very unprofessional. Instead of listening to our bad experience and acknowledging us- the customers, she instead passive aggressively blamed the customer and never offered a genuine apology for the negative experience, rather she fanned the flames. It was an offensive experience. After all this, I requested to get the contact information for the district manager so I could report this bad experience and was told by the cashier it would be the owners who are above the manager and the restaurant is the only number. So I left my name and number asking for them to call me. I'm hopeful they will call so I can share this horrible experience with hopes these business owners care enough about their customers to make note of the errors made by their staff so they can make an effort to re-train the server and manager to be professional and do better in these situations. Until that happens I highly recommend people seeking a nice restaurant: do not give this business your hard earned money. Instead find a business that cares about its customers and provides quality service. read more

FOOD: Decided to give this place another shot after a horrific food poisoning incident I experienced at the hands of their haddock platter two years ago. (Yes I reached out to the restaurant, and no, no one gave two hoots as no one ever followed up.) This time we decided to go with the steak, because how can they mess it up. I asked for medium and it was definitely NOT medium. It was VERY MUCH rare. SERVICE: The the first server was quite surly ...As nice and empathetic as we were trying to be, the server wasn't having it. Luckily there was a shift change towards the end of our visit, and the new server is the only reason we have any stars on this review. (Second Server gets 5 ) ATMOSPHERE: There seemed to be a service manager that was seating parties that also seemed to not be in great spirits -- the atmosphere was just blah overall. Staff will take their queues from upper management, so if they're in a crappy mood, so will their team. With the multiple steak places in El Paso, we will definitely be taking our hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Service was slow and still early when we arrived- a party of 5 and it took forever to get our drink order then had to wait to order our food and didn't see the waitress until our food arrived. Didn't get any drink refills had to ask another waiter to get our water and tea refills and to bring us the check. The steak was really thin and overcooked but ate it anyway no way to get the waitress to make it right. read more

I placed a To Go order and requested mushrooms as a side order with my Rib Eye Stake. The girl that took my order even repeated back what I ordered. I stopped by the Yarborough Great American restaurant and sure thing, no mushrooms. Attention to detail is missing by the person taking the orders. First time I don't leave a tip, I was very disappointed . read more

Good service, food is served in large portions. Some of their food seems really fresh, but is not the most flavorful. I would give them 3.5 stars if it were possible. read more

Food was very good!! My husband and I both had burgers. They were cooked perfectly. Would recommend this place!! Service was excellent

I've been going to Great American Steakburger for many years! The food is very good. The staff is efficient and friendly. However, last week, my usual perfectly cooked salmon was very undercooked. I had eaten some of it before I realized how undercooked it was. Christine, the manager on duty, went above and beyond to fix the problem. The Cajun Chicken that I switched out the salmon for was delicious! I left a happy customer. Jackie D. read more

The quality of the food and accuracy of orders for take out has really declined. Always loved the salmon but doesn't taste the same the last couple of times. Also frustrating to pay for something and find it is missing from order when you get home. read more

My wife and I went to have lunch for my birthday. I ordered the 14 oz. ribeye and she had the tampiquena steak. It took some time to get our order but I've seen worse. My steak was mediocre. We both were bone dry on our drinks and our server, Naomi, never found her way back to our table. She went as far to drop off our check half way through our meal and told us that if we wanted dessert to call her back. Despite waves to her she was completely focused on one large party and couldn't care less about our experience. Some restaurants don't realize that bad service will always leave a customer unhappy and this is one. read more

Service is a tip pull and for this reason I believe it is not attentive. I am all for teamwork. However, this is non existent here. You spend your time looking around trying to get the attention of any worker to help you with a drink refill. When you ask they all give you an attitude as if you are bothering them. The food is good. But not so good I care to go and not receive full service at a full service establishment. read more

Well I gotta say--I loved their steak burger!! This place is always busy and the wait staff is great. Old school restaurant feel. I went during the lunch rush. read more

Probably best burgers, or steak burgers in El Paso. Cooked to order, delicious side items and very pleasant staff.

Another disappointing takeout order! Last time they kept me there over an hour and now the manager who took my order over the phone, forgot, and the order wasn't even placed. Worst take out service and attitude for their mess up. I walked out again! read more

Walked in for lunch with my husband. The waitress came to help and we ordered our drinks. I asked about a lunch special and I could tell she was not happy that I asked. She told me they didn't have one, which is fine. We ordered food, she never came to ask if there was anything else we needed while waiting 45 minutes for our burgers. I watched her walk around us and ask everyone else if they needed anything. I finally asked the bus boy to let her know I need to speak to her. I told her there was a couple that entered with us and they already ate and left. She looked at me rudely and said I'll check and walked away. After 10 more minutes, I asked the busboy for a manager. The female manager came and began to apologize that my ticket was overseen. I told her at this point I didn't care anymore, but I told her she needed to get rid of that rude waitress that ruined my appetite. I asked for my tab and she told me nicely it was ok and offered I take my food to go. I was so mad i told her nope just keep them and charge her. Horrible service!!!!! I didn't get a chance to eat and had to go back to work on an empty stomach. Ugh. read more

This place has my favorite hamburger . Thick and juicy, cooked the way you want it! I like mine medium, pink in the middle. You can have green Chile, tampequeno mushroom, grilled onions, etc. it comes with wonderfully seasoned steak fries. Today, I chose the rib-eye struck sandwich only $14! It had a wonderful steak on it. And it was huge! You never leave hungry and I usually make two meals out of whatever I order. Their steaks are delish, and their entree comes with Ranch beans , coleslaw, and rolls. Always a good meal here! read more

We had the burgers. They were bland , they had no seasoning.The fries and onion rings were the same.

One of the safest restaurants I have dined in since the beginning of the pandemic. Social distancing is strongly enforced. I didn't even have to open the door to the restaurant; the hostesses take care of that. It's a small building but beautiful on the inside. Extremely large portions for their entrées. Well worth the price you pay. The chicken breasts are seasoned perfectly with their own Great American seasoning. The Haddock lightly battered; and the shrimp finished off the perfect plate. They also have a Steak Tapiqeña that was succulent. One of the best steaks I have had in a long time. The service staff were attentive and polite. A great dining experience! read more

I guess they're known for steak burgers.. Their Brisket is very, very disappointing. The served me what looked like boiled chuck. I lost my appetite at the sight of my food. Stay away from the brisket!!! It's sad, I usually don't get good Bbq in Colorado. This is not what I was expecting from a Place in Texas read more

Been going there for many years but, lately the service has really gone down hill. Went there this afternoon for lunch and was never greeted for a seating. Sorry but from now on I'll be going to another place that at least acknowledges you. read more

Ordered the BBQ Brisket which was not the type of brisket they claim. It looked and tasted boiled. There was a puddle of watery grease at the bottom of the dish. The portion was small and at that cost $25. Really doubt there will be another visit in the future since no one seems to care anyways, especially based on others reviews. Not a big deal considering all the actual gems in El Paso. Came for lunch because my mom wanted a steak and it is close by. Thanks for wasting our time and money. But really, thanks for nothing. read more

I only come here for three items that are I'd say the best on the menu. 1. Ribeye steak sandwich done no more than medium or you'll ruin it, add side of grilled onion and steak fries. 2 chicken fried steak with steak fries gravy on the side so it stays crunchy! 3 beer battered fish and steak fries with beans and coleslaw. The fish is awesome a little greasy but definitely very tasty with their own twist on tarter sauce not the usual pickle mayo dill sauce your used to (just to let you know in case your not adventures )you can't go wrong! I can't vouch for the rest of the menu but I will stand by these three awesome dishes all day . Last but not least the staff is attentive and friendly. Hope you'll try my suggestions SYOY. read more

Ordered steak tampiquena and wife order BBQ plate with a side order of sweet potato fries. Very disappointed and had to notify manger that the main and side dishes were lukewarm to cold.

I gave this place 5 stars! They could have been a little more organized with the seating and with the back being empty and the front being crowded but.... hey. My food was so good! Hugo was a great waiter, we didn't have to ask if we wanted refills and he was on point with asking how things were going. The young lady who brought our food gave us an inside tip which was awesome! My burger was so good. I hate that I love it so much that it is gluttony. My inner fatty wants to always eat the whole thing because it's so so so good! Plain old steak burger with no mayo or ketchup, it really is that good! The steak was really good to! Love this place. Never disappoints! Come here often and always forget to Yelp! Thanks guys! Sorry Hugo for being ready to order and rushing the dinner. Great job! Btw: what a nice gesture to allow that man to sell his things. I wonder if you allow it for free? If so, very honorable!

Excellent ribeye. Great service. Was looking for a place with some good eats while in El Paso and Yelp steered me in the right direction. The reviews said the ribeye was good, so that's what I ordered. Fantastic! I also liked the coleslaw. The baked beans were just eh. Nice sized baked potato. A little pricy, but the portion was big enough to share between two people so it worked out. Service was good. I liked the casual Americana feel to the place - very rustic and woodsy. Thanks Yelp! read more

Very mixed feelings. I read a lot of mostly negative reviews this morning on Google but some were good so decided to try it for lunch today, first time here. I had a mushroom/cheese steakburger. The burger was very good, well done just like I ordered, and a large patty. The steak fries (included for $13.89) were plentiful and some of the best I've ever had. Not greasy at ALL. That's all I have good to say though. I said I ordered a mushroom/cheese burger? The waitress even asked me what kind of cheese. I got 1/3 of the way through it only to realize that there was NO cheese on it whatsoever. And I couldn't tell the waitress because she never came back to check on me........no, not one single time. I will say that someone else did a refill on my iced tea (but even she never asked how my meal was). And they didn't seem understaffed.........TWO different guys bought a check to my table when I was done. I told the first one about the lack of cheese and he just said "I'm sorry" and didn't take anything off of the bill. I may give them one more chance because the food WAS good despite the lack of cheese. read more
