This restaurant is only 4 miles from us and we used to frequent it, but then it went down hill! Well, we have been here twice in the last 2 weeks! They're back to great service both late afternoon and 7 at night!! I had a medium ribeye steak and baked potato....both were done perfectly! They have a nice lunch menu! The staff was friendly both visits even tho there were only 2 waitresses each time....the gals kept up! But more importantly, the food has returned to the way it was years ago! Bravo! Keep it up sagebrush and happy customers will be back! This restaurant is only a few feet from a hotel and it worth the walk! read more

We went there yesterday after staying away for probably 8 yrs. Had heard good things and wanted to give it another chance. I ordered the flounder. When it arrived it looked great but when I cut into it, it was slimy- not well cooked. Took a while to flag down our waitress Gracie, who did say she was sorry and took it back to the kitchen. Another plate comes out & once again the fish is undercooked. This time husband is getting really annoyed. Could not find the waitress. She never came back to see if the second one was better. Finally flagged down the hostess to get her. This time we asked for a box for my husband's food & sent my food back for good. Waitress did not apologize - just picked up my plate & came back with a box. Was really disappointed. The placed looked nicer but if I'd wanted sushi I would have gone elsewhere. read more

Max was my waitress and she killed it!! She always makes us feel special and always gives us good service!!! Ask for Max next time u go!!

Maxine says "She's from Idaho." I never had such a good waitress in my life. She is so effecent. She wears flowers in her hair. She is so pleasant. She can handle several tables at a time. The food was great the rolls are addicting! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

They recently got a new manager and it's so much better now. Friendly staff. Clean. And everything tasted good. I've had their Texas Two Step with shrimp and ribs. My wife had checked and it was most. Mine tasted great. Last time I had chicken fried steak. Everything had been good. read more

Best restaurant in Wilkes. Food is Absolute Perfection. Service is slow at times but is usually busy and worth the wait . The ambience is a cowboy vibe. Come if you like Cowboys, Amazing butter rolls, and if you want a nice meal. Prices are not cheap tho. read more

It was so good we went back a 2nd time. Our server, Cherry was awesome and the food was great! The whole staff was very nice and we are so happy we found this place. read more

Sagebrush Steakhouse - Fried Pickles NY Strip Steak Grilled Shrimp Sweetwater Salmon Grilled Chicken - Steakhouses Near Me - Wilkesboro, North Carolina

Wait staff was attentive but it took a few minutes to get to our table to take our order. My food was fine. The steak sandwich I ordered was cooked medium, just as ordered. I could not eat as a sandwich because the bread was so soggy but all in all the steak was what I was after so that was okay. My potato was more room temperature than hot. I wanted fries but the waitress couldn't guarantee that they would be fresh (hot). My daughter and husband order fries and their fries weren't hot and they were over salted per my daughter. My husband could not eat his chicken sandwich - tasted weird. Apparently, their specialty is burgers because my daughter and son-in-law both liked what they ordered as far as the entree. The one great thing about our meal was the hot fresh rolls. They were outstanding. We've eaten there several times and I believe this was the worst visit. Maybe just a bad day for the kitchen. My biggest complaint was the women's restroom which was just horrendous. One stall had at one point two different locks on the door - both were broken - impossible to lock. they other stall had a commode that was set just about 10 inches from the floor. It was so bad. It just left me with a bad feeling for the whole visit. read more

So I was just here the other day. They were understaffed. No fault of employees and I will say that they tried their best to get orders taken and food out. Unfortunately the food coming out was not good at all. The pre-dinner rolls were the best thing I ate. Steaks overcooked and tasted "Odd". Loaded Mashed Potatoes were bad. Appetizer was overcooked. I would look for other options. read more

A young woman named Jessica served me and by good friend after work one night and she blew it out of the park. Top tier service, Very sweet, respectful, very fast service. I highly recommend going here and if you are lucky enough to meet Jessica just know you are in good hands. read more

I had Miss Crystal serving me and she was the nicest and very polite. I had my little one with me and she would smile wave and talk to her. She was very quick with serving. I will for sure be coming back and hoping to get her as my waitress!! read more

Got the 10oz ribeye, with a baked sweet potato and house salad to go. The steak was tender and delicious, sweet potato, salad and yeast rolls were great as well. Good deal for $20 read more

We enjoyed dinner at the Sagebrush steakhouse recently, and would like to complement our waitress Beverly. She was attentive and very helpful to us. It was a pleasure to be served by Beverly. She was friendly and welcoming after having driven in our car all day. thanks, Beverly! read more

The worst dinning experience money can buy avoid at all cost. Zero stars an god forbid you leave a honest review of the food. They served us 4 ounces of fat in a 8 ounce steak. Rolls was drowned in butter to hide how old they where drinks not posted on the menu. Hostess staff didnt even greet us. We Basicly sat ourselfs. 20 minutes later we got our drinks. An hour after that we got our food. It was terrible ate nothing and left. We refused the comp paid full price 87 dollars and some change left 0 tip and was out never to return. Sage-brush just as dodge city has really failed to meet the mark over and over again. My 7 year old son could cook a better meal. This is an honest review an unfortunately the manager seems to not be able to understand they could and must do better if they wanna stay in business. read more

Went here Friday evening, it was busy, parking lot had at least 20 cars; I had to be seated in the back of dining room, which is no problem because it's just an extension with the same feel as the front. Ordered Texas two-step, chose plain seared salmon medium doneness which was excellent and fresh: also chose baby-back ribs, which was a half rack, but huge amounts of meat. Had two sides of broccoli which were in a bath of melted butter, also fresh and tender. All this food, which was very filling and satisfactory, for $20. (Don't order green beans, overly salty and weird texture.) Jennifer wait staff was friendly and attentive to my drink refills without asking. Meal was steered with dinner rolls pasted with butter. Rolls were soft and warm. Great value, and will keep me coming back. read more

Not bad but not impressive either. I stopped here for dinner mostly because it was conveniently in the same parking lot as my hotel. I ordered a steak dinner which comes with 2 sides. The steak was slightly over-cooked and not at all even. I ordered medium rare and some parts were perfect while one of my bites was medium well. The mashed potatoes was thick and delicious. The broccoli was not over steamed and covered in butter. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside....but we couldn't have been happier with our meals. We were trapped in a storm at the Hampton across the way and only had Sagebrush as an option. We were very happy with our food, which was all done correctly and brought out hot (for take out). Staff was clearly swamped but busting it. read more

The lunch menu is always delicious and the wait staff do an excellent job. Prior to eating there for dinner I would have given a much higher star rating. The Covid-19 pandemic did increase their dinner rating in my opinion. We ordered curbside pickup one evening and it was almost as good as the luch food we were used to getting. After I have tried dinner from there 1 more time I will know if they had an off night or if I just had a bad waiter the night my meal was inedible. I am posting pics of what we got from curbside. I was all delicious if not just a touch cold but that is to be expected. read more

When I visited this location I was served mash potatoes that smelled absolutely rancid. Our waitress was friendly but did not check on our table until about 30 mins after we had received our food. By that time I did not want a replacement side dish as I and the rest of my party had finished the rest of our meals. We received no apology or potential solutions for this wrong and we paid full price on our meals. Would not recommend ordering the mash potatoes. read more

Sagebrush Steakhouse - Rotten, old mashed potatoes. - Steakhouses Near Me - Wilkesboro, North Carolina

walked in to see several tables available but still a 45 minute wait. I understand they may be short of help in the kitchen but it looks really bad when three waitresses are just sitting there. read more

Great food and better service! Christina was a very welcoming manager! Will be back soon!

Me and my girlfriend went to dinner on Sunday and the blossom petals were amazing. The manager came by and shared the upcoming week specials with us. We plan to go back for free brownie Wednesday this week. I forgot this restaurant was even open but we enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back. read more

In town for the night and next to the hotel. I had a Chicken Caesar grilled and it did not disappoint. I would eat here again.

Service is ok. Food is.........no bueno. Chewy, Chewy, Chewy, steak. Don't waste your time or money here. Wendy's next store can't be worse. Sorry but not sorry. read more

I came at 8 on a Sunday night so it was not crowded and I was seated immediately by the hostess. She brought me a basket of rolls drenched in butter (yum), a menu and water. My waitress, Lauren, came shortly after and took my order. I ordered the 6 oz. Filet, medium rare, with 2 sides - salad and fried okra. This was $18.95. Cheap. It didn't take long to get my food. My salad came out quickly. Very average with some limp salad mix, cheese and a tomato wedge. The main dish came out about 15 minutes later. Steak was cooked perfectly and it was good. The okra was probably frozen from a bag, but that didn't bother me. I would come back if I'm ever in Wilkesboro, but I would skip the salad for some broccoli maybe. A solid place for a good steak in a small town at a very reasonable price! read more

My parent's have been here a couple of times since moving to NC and so though it was a good option for us to go to on our way to see a play in Wilkesboro. Zero line. We were seated right away. Place has a VERY rustic feel with well worn wooden booths. They have a good dinner specials (all $10) menu in addition to their regular menu offerings. No one was ridiculously hungry - my parents opted for items from the specials menu and I from the regular menu. (There is also a $5 lunch specials menu). I had the fish & chips (substituting a baked potato for fries) - Fish was ok. 4-5 small to medium pieces. Batter was good and did not get very greasy. But clearly these were filets that had been halved. If you were eating the fat end - it was ok, cod was nicely cooked and tender. But if you got the thinner end of the filet - the fish was very over cooked and tough. Not the best fish I've had but ok. My bigger compliant - margarine arrived to top my baked potato and our complimentary bread (Mmmmmmmmmm the bread is very good). This must be a regional thing as my parents say they have experienced it several places they have been in the area. I don't like a lot on my baked potato but I do like REAL things - LIKE BUTTER. (big sigh) Dad had the Center Cut Sirloin Steak (w/ baked potato) - as it was the 2nd time in a row he had ordered it he likes it - and I'm sure will get again. Mom had the Chicken Scampi with Pasta - Scampi is usually served with shrimp and she doesn't really like that - so this was something new for her to try and she enjoyed her dish as well. We all had a good time nibbling on the bucket of shell-on peanuts on our table and our waitress was very nice and attentive. Overall, for other options in the immediate area - I'd say I'd probably go again, but would perhaps try something other than the fish and chips. read more

Great service but cooking is the same as fast food but if you do get something get steak it's pretty much the only thing that can decently cook. read more

I went here quite a few time when i lived in Wilkes i loved their food and never had any issues with it. They're customer service on the other hand was almost always horrible. No matter how many times we went or how many different servers they always were NOT on their customer service skills. read more

TERRIBLE. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. My husband, friend, and I visited this place for lunch. We had an hour to eat and get back to our office (about 5 minutes away), and the parking lot was virtually empty, so we figured we'd have enough time. Well, we were greeted right away, but that was about it. Despite there being very few customers in the dining room at the same time as us, our waiter took 5 minutes to bring us our drinks, and 20 minutes to bring my friend his side salad. We sat for a total of 45 minutes and still saw no entrees (not even in a to-go box like we requested after we had been waiting for 30 minutes). By this time, there is no way we would have had time to eat and get back to the office in time, so we left. We know the wait wasn't the waiter's fault, but he could have at least apologized and we received nothing of the sort. It is important to note that I am 5 months pregnant, and my lunch was pushed to a later time than usual that day due to a temporary change in duties. As it was, we had to rush back to our office and get me something from our cafeteria to quickly scarf down while I worked after my lunch break ended. Sadly, every one of my work friends that I have told this story to have stated they have had the same experience despite there being very few customers in the restaurant at any given time. We will NOT be back again. read more

Stopped as we passed through Wilkesboro. No wait time for a Saturday evening. Service was good. Steaks and other food items were as we expected for a chain restaurant. My ONLY complaint is that I had to wear my coat during the entire meal because the restaurant was FREEZING!!!!! It felt as if someone turned on the air and forgot to turn it off. Most all the other diners were also wearing their coats. Some even had their toboggans on. read more

Meh. Just stopped for a few beers and a appetizer at the bar. Service very friendly and good. Cheese fries OK, Beer selection on draft not terrible but pricey. Not much else in this town. read more

The fried pickles were the only good part. Steak was not good not cook how I asked. The mashed potatoes were a funny color and had a weird taste. Waitress was nice but didn't have a clue. We will not come back. read more

Incredible! We had a wonderful dinner. The service was friendly and very helpful. We split a full rack of ribs between the two of us. They brought us plenty of sauce - and made great suggestions for sides. We were traveling through the town and stumbled into this place. What a fortuitous find! We would definitely come back here if we ever come this way again! read more

A group of 8 people came to eat lunch. There were 4 more tables in the restaurant. Our server was decent, but one of the cooks walked out of the kitchen. Instead of hopping in to help, the manager spent her time leaning against the bar. An hour later, we still didn't have our food. Still...no manager came to visit our table. Finally the food was brought out, missing several items, but they eventually came out also. Over two hours later, the server said the manager was going to "fix" our bills for the wait. We got a $1.60 discount. And STILL the manager didn't come over to the table for so much as an apology. We asked for her, and instead of being apologetic, she said "What's up sweetheart?" So condescending. And still...no apology except for a "This has been a strange week around here, sweetheart." Manager is Tara. Most useless restaurant staff worker I've ever seen in my life. read more

So good it is crazy!! Wow!! This steakhouse was awesome! We had a party of five. The blackened tilapia was cooked to perfection! Not too dry and not over spiced. The crispy shrimp was delicious! The BBQ ribs were tender. We requested some extra sauce and our waitress graciously responded promptly. The filet Gorgonzola pasta was absolutely amazing. Pasta was cooked really well and the cream sauce was so creamy and flavorful. I had the prime rib (mid rare) and it was excellent. Cooked to the appropriate temperature and super tender. The rolls were warm and moist, almost melt in your mouth. Lastly, our server was pleasant. Highly recommend this place. Wish it was in my home town so I can visit again. read more

My steak tips were awesome. I also got mixed steamed vegetables and baked sweet potato. My husband got blackened grilled chicken, rice pilaf and green beans. All our food was very good. We will eat here again when we camp in the area. read more

Wow if your looking for food don't visit here!! We visited on 2/21/16 and were extremely disappointed!! Out of salad, out of sirloin, out of steaks, out of rolls and to go boxes! You would have thought we were not at a restaurant. We have visited the establishment numerous times and haven't experienced anything like this before. We were celebrating a special event and they made it a disaster! read more

Smell of the food was much better than the taste. Waitress brought a soda refill for my husband but no tea refill for me or my teenage son. When we asked for a refill we were given to-go cups of burnt unsweetened tea. Steak was tough and cubed steak was tough and tasteless. read more

You'd be better off going across the street and eating at Wendy's then wasting your time and money eating here. The food here is disgusting, absolutely horrid. There are peanut shells all over the floor that drenched in the smell of cigarettes. There is no atmosphere and service is mediocre at best. read more

Sorry, not a good experience last Saturday... Staff was real slow and it was not because they were busy..
