Princeton WV staff are fantastic caring people. They took care of our school event and provided perfectly cooked and tasty dishes for our student s and parents to enjoy. They were prompt and courteous. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone local or traveling through our beautiful state. read more

Our server Dani was great, good food and great atmosphere.

Not too impressed. We were traveling through while on vacation. Thought we'd grab some Outback for dinner. When they brought the bread out, we were told that there was no regular butter because it was being saved for baked potatoes. The blue cheese and pecan salad came out without any blue cheese crumbles on it.My wife had to send her chicken back because the bacon that was on it was raw. My steak was tough, and not cooked very well. my daughter did enjoy her chicken fingers, however. finally, I'm told that the dessert tasted really good. So, that's a plus, I guess. I would not recommend coming here. However, next-door is a new Mexican restaurant (Campestre) that was great last night. read more

Great food, great service,very pleasant staff and bartender. My filet was cooked perfectly !! And the drinks were poured perfectly ‼

Waited an hour and a half for drinks and food then when we finally got our food the steak was rank and there was a hair in the ranch. I get it was a busy Saturday night but I've also worked in the food industry for 10 years including management. The manager came around very passively aggressively after the wait staff said something about her always embarrassing them. If the wait staff is talking like that then you know the management is poor. Maeshonia was a wonderful waitress despite the rest of the experience. read more

My colleague and I stopped here on the way to airport. We were both craving steak! Our steaks came out under cooked but the managements (Greg) response to the issue was in my opinion absolute top-notch 5 star service. Our food was tasty, and reasonably priced. Also, our server Stephanie, was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We will definitely revisit if ever in the area again! read more

Outstanding food and service today at Outback in Princeton WV! Special shout out to out server Toni! Table of 9, never went without anything and she exemplified great service! Thank you! read more

Great bartenders. Emilee and Raina. Two of the best you will ever find on the east coast.

This was an average meal that I ate all of it. The steak seasoning wasn't as bad that I remember from previous outback's. Still correct cooking of our steaks. Service is a little bogged down with the staffing shortage happening al around. But, still was pleasant. I'd say an ok place to pick if you are stopping thru!! read more

There was six of us in the party. Waited forty five minutes to get to be seated. Then a hour and half to wait to get our food. Then it came out wrong. The waitress disappeared. Do not waste your time going there. Last time was a great experience this time not so much. read more

UPDATE: I did contact through the Outback website. I did it the same day I wrote this review. Normally this rating would be higher. But this experience was terrible. We stopped in for lunch. Our waitress was Haley. I ordered soup and a salad and my husband ordered a burger. We also had an appetizer. The appetizer came quick. Next my lunch came but hubs didn't. He waited 30 mins before his came out. Haley didn't check on us at all or try to keep us informed as to what was taking so long. She never offered catsup for hubs. We finally had to ask a hostess for some. Then we had to ask for ticket and she never brought it to us. Hubs had to go to the bar and get the manager to get our ticket. They were not busy and she was only waiting on a few tables. There was no reason for such poor service. read more

Yalonda is the best waitress! I would recommend requesting her if you're ever at Outback!

I have always loved Outback Steakhouse!My server Yalonda was the best she made use feel at home always had drinks, food was hot... She was perfect..Nice job Outback ''shes a keeper''We well see you soon Yalonda Thanks again read more

We were a group of 22 celebrating a graduation. We were seated fast because we called ahead. Took forever to get drinks. Only had one waiter covering us. Salads came after 1 1/2 hours waiting . We ordered them with ranch dressing and they were so spicy no one could eat them. Waited another half hour for food and my son didn't even eat his as the fries were cold and he was just frustrated at this point, had waited forever for drink refills. When the waiter brought the bills they were all wrong and took about another 15 minutes to sort out. In all we were there almost three hours. Terrible experience for our celebration. read more

My mother has severe dementia and my Dad struggles to take her out to dinner. Meagan and her fellow bartenders always go above and beyond to make sure they both have a nice night. As an "adult only child," every little bit helps. These people care about their clients, give outstanding service and the food is great! I'M VERY THANKFUL for all of you guys! read more

I waited a month before I bothered to post a review. This was my first time eating at an Outback Steakhouse and will be my last if I have my way. I recently had a massive stroke and I'm having to use specialized utensils. My server was disgusted when I asked if she could have the dishwasher clean my spoon. I asked my mother to rinse it off in her water. I hope other Outback Steakhouse servers don't treat handicapped people so disgusting. We're normal people too. read more

Danny was a wonderful waitress. Our food was great also. I love that they are open later than other restaurants in the area

Great service! My family and I stopped in to enjoy a nice meal. The food was good, but the service was above and beyond. Our 10 yr old ordered the kids' steak and while trying to cut it himself somehow flipped it off his plate and onto the floor. Tears followed, because no one likes to lose a yummy steak. Our kind waitress was quick to place another order for him. She offered to cut it for him, and at the end of our meal he was treated to an ice cream. Not only did she brighten his day, but he now wants to stop at this Outback every time we pass through. Thank you Brandy P!! read more

had the chicken strips with loaded baked potato and salad had the blooming onion everything was good

I will never spend another dime here!!! The food was dry, overcooked and not to mention took FOREVER to even get to the table... absolutely awful... management should be addressed and or revamped! read more

We had the most amazing waitress we've ever had ... Her name was Emily. Very kind, and amazing with our children. We couldn't have asked for a better waitress. We will be back just for her!!!! read more

Eating outback's steak is like chewing on a piece of cold saltwater taffy. Will not be coming back.

Ordered Togo...had the grilled salmon, baked potato and mixed vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly and I received a very large portion of fish. read more

Went here with my fiancé and it was not good. We both ordered steak medium well with just a little pink. When they came out I'm surprised they didn't moo. When we politely asked the waitress if we could get them cooked a little longer she left our table yelling she wasn't doing this today. The manager took our plates back and brought us free sides while we waited for the steaks. When they came back they were just as raw. Just overall a bad experience read more

We were traveling home via our motor home (40ft + a 15ft trailer) on Sunday evening. I called the Outback to ask what time they were closing and was told 10:30PM. We said great and got off the interstate and proceeded to the restaurant. We always call ahead due to the trouble of getting into parking lots with our massive motor home. Upon arriving there the door was locked so we were walking, of course upset back to our motor home when I saw people in the carryout area. I knocked and asked what time they closed and was told 9:30PM. I told the waitresses and manager (I am assuming since she was in all black) about us calling 10 minutes prior and being told they closed at 10:30pm. They asked if that was us in the big motor home and I answered yes and that we wish we would have been told the correct time due to the difficulty getting up there. The "manager" told us to come on in and dine, this was 9:43PM. She sat us in the lounge area and said a waitress would be with us shortly and immediately the bartender "Chris" began giving us looks and speaking loudly about his dislike of us sitting down. He then proceeds to tell his buddies sitting at the bar something then walks back to the end of the bar, under the television and his buddies start yelling, "Hey Chris, What time do you guys close?" Chris replies, "9:30pm!!!" "Hey Chris, Want me to cash out my check?" "No, YOU guys are fine since you've been here!" This type of behavior continues while there are also other couples sitting in the restaurant AND in the bar lounge area! An older couple, probably in the early 70's start looking at him and a younger couple sitting right behind them. This continues and I simply got up and informed the waitstaff what was going on but apparently by this time the manager who had put us at that table had left for the evening. My husband wanted to say something but I reminded him, "You are a Physician, he is a bartender, and those guys are sitting at a bar on a Sunday night drinking." My husband has two practices and I myself own 2 businesses and have 2 Master's degrees so we hold ourselves to a higher standard of character than I suppose a bartender at The Outback does. If any of our employees had acted like that in front of any patients, let alone at least 5 couples, 3 in the bar area, 2 that were still seated in the dining area, they would have been fired on the spot, no questions asked! It is simply inexcusable! The waitress took out order, and when my husband ordered a bottle of sparkling water the waitress told the bartender and as he was opening it he gave us both a nasty horrid look! Now, be it that we don't own a restaurant, but being in the service business, the bartender having NO IDEA who we were, we could have been employees from corporate, a secret shopper (as I was one while in college and grad school), or perhaps the owner of another Outback location, this is how he treats people who were sat at that table by one of his bosses!!! We left at 10:20PM, and the other two couples that were eating in the same area left maybe 5 minutes prior to us. The waitress was great as was the food and we gave the waitress probably the biggest tip she has ever received from a table of two because we did appreciate her taking care of us. But we will never eat there again on our way home and we have also informed everyone we know via email in regards to this location. The waitress said that they were always slow on Sundays at this location (our location in Charleston, WV is always packed on Sundays) and who knows how many others this bartender has offended and with today's social media it doesn't take long for the word to get around to boycott a location of any business especially when it is due to poor service. People simply do not put up with wait staff who think they are better than the people they are serving and whom are paying their wages through tips! There are too many restaurant choices today to choose from. read more

This is the worst outback that I have been to. They have limited competition and a lot of travelers. So the food is very bad because the locals have nowhere else to go and travelers eat and back on the road. Bad management and if you say anything then the management gets mad. read more

Gotta say one thing. The horror stories about this place is right on. Another time that the store was not busy at all. As sabrina s. stated on the really awesome service that her and her husband recieved is the norm for this location. I only go to 2 strikes and the second one is the last time that I will be at that location, event, or of anything. Out of 2 dine in and 1 take out this place has some serious problems. The one that really made me wasnt to go crazy (probally more than normal) was on my birthday. My wife surprised me on my birthday when I got off work and took me to outback and said whatever I wanted to order. I went with my favorite there. First we waited around 15-20 minutes for a server to come to our table. We started out and ordered a bloomin onion and our drinks which was 2 sweet tea's. 15 minutes later we get our onion and another 10 minutes our drinks. Nothing says awesome than one refill the entire night. I ordered the melbourne medium rare and my wife got a salad. Found a hair in her food so I waited for her to get her food fixed. Meanwhile at the table next to us 2 other servers were throwing a dirty towel to each other cleaning tables. Talked to the manager, my wife was so upset caused she wanted it to be a special for us, since there is so many places here in the big town of princeton. I explained everything to him and he said he would take care of it. How did he do this. . . . ? Had everyone working sign a card and gave me 2 cards for a free bloomin onion and told me happy birthday. What a drag. read more

A Plate of Disappointment with a Side of Regret AKA: Horrible Service with No Remorse I met friends from out of town at this location for a nice dinner to play catch up and eat some tasty food. What I received instead was a plate of disappointment with a side of regret. First: We had to ask 5 different servers before we were finally given two more sets of silverware. Second: I ordered the seasonal gingerbread martini. It came to me looking pathetic, soggy, and sad. The gingerbread man that was to be floating on whipped cream was missing an arm. That arm must've ran off with the whipped cream because it was MIA as well. When the server asked me what I thought, I told him it wasn't very tasty and it looked horrible. His reply was, "Oh well. Now who wants dessert?" Third: My dinner was to be a grilled fish with rice and some sort of salsa/chutney on top with a veggie side. What I received was a plate with a slab of overcooked fish, no rice, limp overcooked veggies, no chutney, and no server around for 15minutes to ask for the rest of me meal. Finally the server came by and gave me the chutney in a bowl on the side. He seemed almost sorry about the meal and the drink. And I had hoped that would be reflected on my bill - It wasn't. I was charged full price for a lackluster meal. I have NOT be back since. read more

I wish it could be zero stars. We called ahead for call-ahead seating. Don't bother. We showed up on time and were told the table wasn't ready. It would be 20 more minutes. Even after the call ahead. So we waited. And waited. And asked. And they asked us. And 20 more minutes passed and they would not seat us though appropriately sized tables were empty in the dining rooms and groups who had come in after us had already been seated. Totally ridiculous. Crappy service. Never coming back here and you shouldn't either. read more

We stopped in late on a Friday. Our waitress was a teen and seemed a little frazzled throughout the evening. Her service was mediocre, but the food quality was standard, reliable Outback. The steak cuts are always consistent and well prepared. We had a little mix up on the appetizer order -- we said Onion she heard Ahi (tuna), but all was worked out eventually. This isn't the quickest roadside meal, but I didn't expect it to be either. You get a good amount of food for your money and decent quality too. read more

Pretty standard experience to any other outback steakhouse on MLK weekend. Intro: With our party of about close to 20, the wait time was considerably longer than what we called in for. But since we were on the road for so long, heading from Atlanta to Snowshoe, I guess the others needed a break from being locked up in the car and some breathing space. Location: I'm not sure if it's just this area and there's not much choices around, or perhaps it was MLK weekend and other people were heading up to Snowshoe as well... but this place was PACKED! They did have a very nice waiting area with a long booth L shaped bench, which our party nearly took up. Aside from us, there were many parties of 4 or more waiting as well. Service: Our party was split into two "tables" so that our two servers could assist us better. They were attentive on the refills for water, tea, and soft drinks. I'm not sure what was the holdup on providing one load of bread though. I really think we should have ordered an appetizer as the food took a while to come out, especially since most of us ordered steak. Food: Not bad, not great. I'm so, so on how I feel about Outback still. I ordered a featured dish, Outback special with Lobster & Mac and mashed potatoes. The steak was mostly medium by the time it came out, but generally still moist and not overcooked till dry. I was disappointed by the lobster & Mac. Very, very few portions of lobster and the cheese sauce that accompany it was very lacking on any flavor. A couple of dashes of salt didn't help out much. Mashes potatoes were your average sit down restaurant fare. Overall: I've actually never been a real big fan of Outback, their food has just been sub par with me. I actually prefer Long Horn's more so. Come here if your stomach can wait a bit on any food going to it and whatever else is around doesn't seem that appetizing. read more

Not very accomadating and definitely over priced food is hit and miss sometimes good and other times not the staff is very slow so make sure you have extra time if you go here read more

Was on a business trip and decided to visit this Outback Steakhouse. Was greeted at the door by a very pretty waitress and got a table instantly. The waiter came promptly and I ordered my drink and revived it in less the a minute. I then order my Filet Mignon & Lobster meal with a house salad and grilled asparagus. The food was delicious!!! Asparagus was cooked perfect and the salad was also very good with the recommended dressing, Mustard Vinaigrette. The steak was also made perfect; ordered mine medium well and it was cooked perfect. The lobster was also very very well cooked and tasted great! I will defiantly return the next time I am in town! A++ read more

Outback Steakhouse - Filet Mignon (6oz) & Lobster (6oz) w/ asparagus - Steakhouses Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

Food was sub par (at best). We were told bread was in the oven and would be 5 mins. When it arrived 10 mins later it was cold and far from fresh. Ordered buffalo tenders that came as regular tenders (which were like the frozen ones from a box or ones you'd see on a kids meal) and when requested buffalo sauce received blooming onion sauce. Time to pay and was told my card was declined. Had my wife come back in who had taken our daughter to the car to get settled only to discover their system was down. We were traveling and didn't have time to sit around and wait. Were told our options were to pay in cash (we had $6) or provide our CC info and they would run it when it was back up. Yea, right buddy! Bottom line SLOW staff & food not worth the trouble! read more

Great food and servers. Couldn't have been more amazing of a staff thank you for your service

I guess because they are busy they don't have to apologize when service isn't acceptable. Had problems last time so not sure why we came back. Even when we order appetizers they never come until we beg for them as main course being served. Why order appetizer? Late served appetizers delivered by guy who appears to be manager no apology for delay rather arrogant. Second time think someone should provide customer service training to him. Food was good in spite of lousy service. read more

Terrible service, cold food, don't even think of asking for anything extra, i.e. water, a drink, napkins. Slowest wait staff Ive ever seen. AVOID read more

I'm disappointed in the service quality and food in this establishment. The waiters often forget to get certain things such as lemons and sugar. Along with that, they aren't exactly the nicest people to give your order to. The food here can either be great or borderline McDonald's. This time when I went, I had a "medium well" steak that looked like it was burnt in flames from hell; it was charred badly. When you want to carry food out, they will bring you boxes. The problem with that is the fact that they never give you the number of boxes you request. One perk of coming to this steakhouse is that they will box up young children's food for you. Another problem is that they seem to never have enough seating for everyone; some people are left outside without food for up to an hour. All in all, I don't recommend this particular Outback, try to go to one in Beckley, WV. read more
