Had a really good meal at Outback Steakhouse in Princeton. The coconut shrimp was crispy with great flavor, the Queensland Pasta was rich and filling, and the tangy tomato dressing on the salad was honestly one of the best parts of the meal. Everything came out fresh and tasted great. Definitely a solid dinner spot if you're craving comfort food and seafood. read more

JR was a great server and the food was wonderful! He even was able to have management come to talk because I complained about the people outside right at the door smoking and we had to walk through it to go in. Management took care of that also because it's a county ordinance. But JR had manners and was very kind!! read more

I see this location has a 2.5 rating but I can explain that. It's in Princeton, which isn't exactly the dining capital of the world (I'm being very kind). Most people in Princeton are used to fast food, homemade food, or roadkill. Outback is literally the best dine-out option in town but since people are used to other things, three points are taken off right off the bat for most diners. Therefore, it should be a 2.0, which means 2.5 is above expectations. On top of that, it's on a freaking hill! How many Outbacks do you know are on a hill? I'll wait. Oh, and the food and service were awesome! read more

Service was phenomenal, Jordan was our server and she was great!!! We had a runner from the kitchen that was also very kind. Our server allowed our 3-year old to order her food and she was great with that. The food was great and cooked the steaks how they should be. 10/10 read more

My food and service is always phenomenal every time I go. I'm obsessed with their ranch with cheese fries and grilled chicken on the barbie. read more

Was seated quickly, and server took our order with ease. The steak was cooked beautifully but a little rarer than what I ordered (no big deal). The issues I had was the mashed potatoes were completely bland and had already built a film up from sitting, and the sauteed mushrooms​​​ were flavorless, except for the district cross contamination flavor of old shrimp​. What made it even weirder, I did ask for a side of shrimp and it was served on a brick hard piece of "toast" that looked like it was picked off another orders plate 3 days ago and slapped onto my plate (broken pieces and jagged). Our server wasn't available so I asked ther server that brought our food out and she dismissed it as "just something they did". I honestly thought I had someone's left over food.​​​ read more

horrible experience waited for 30 minutes and they took people orders that were there after us and the restraunt wasn't busy

First, we were greeted and seated within a minute on New Year's Day when it was a little busy. We received our drinks, cutlery, napkins, saucers, and plates for our appetizer within 5 minutes. Our waitress, Brooklyn, was professional and friendly. She waited patiently for our appetizer order and dinner food orders. We got the appetizer with fried cheese patties, fried onion pieces, and fries smothered with cheese and bacon bits. Three dipping sauces came with those. Everything was delicious and well cooked to this point. Our house salads were generous portions and had a variety of lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers with our choice of dressing. I ordered the whole rack of ribs. Wow! Delicious. My baked sweet potato with fixings was marvelous. My husband ordered a steak well done but it arrived still red and bleeding. He sent it back 2 times which made it dry. The manager, Emily, visited us at the table and offered a generous solution of a gift card and a dessert comp. GET the CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING. DELICIOUS. YUM. The service was impeccable and the food was prepared well except for the steak and we were happy with the manager's solution. Thank you Outback staff for a great start to our New Year 2026. Shout out to Brooklyn, our delightful waitress who did a great job. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. We should have heeded the other reviews. Steaks were over done and absolutely leathery. I guess that makes sense considering it was a full hour after we arrived that they showed up. The restaurant was mostly empty on a Friday afternoon, so not sure what the reason was for the long wait. When they finally arrived, our daughter got a cheeseburger despite us telling the waitress more than once she was allergic to dairy. Finally, cleaning is very low in their priorities because we sat at a table among three that were piled up with dishes for most of our visit. Seriously skip this location and wait til you get somewhere else because despite multiple responses from restaurant leadership on Yelp, it's clear they're not going to do anything about it. read more

No bread throughout the entire meal, drinks ran dry, salads served at the same time as the appetizer, prolonged wait for entrees and when the food arrived it was not hot which leads to the thought that it had sat for awhile before being served. Disappointing. read more

Great Service. Love salad and home made dressing - Steak and Chicken done excellent Fried Mushrooms are the Best in town read more

When we got there the wait said that it would be 30 minutes, but it was actually an hour and where are we sat. The table was still dirty and we had to get it wiped off the people. There were nice. The Bloomin onion was good. The mushrooms was good, but whenever our food came, it was like it had been said in the back for a while steaks were almost raw and cold. The Bloomin chicken sandwich was good. It was a little cold over all. I would not recommend this outback. I have not been liking it for years and we thought we'd tried again, but it was not, very good read more

Worse Outback I've visited due to horrible service. Our waiter was Joe and after 1 hour of being seated, all we had were the original drinks he brought. I had to walk to the bar for a refill for my wife and kids where I found our waiter (Joe) watching TV. After 1hr and 15mins without service, I told the waiter we were leaving without eating. He then presented me with a bill for $124. Keep in mind, we never got our food!! He got the manager, Mandy, who deducted $50 but asked us to then pay $71 (see below photo). Once Mandy realized we didn't get any food, she did give us a full refund but by this time we had wasted 1.5 hrs and still had to get dinner for my family. I love Outback and have never had this kind of experience before. This is well below their standard. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

Steaks are very good. Also a lot of other food orders on the menu that are mouth watering. Servers are the best. Very clean establishment. Large over head this to watch your favorite teams play games.. read more

I ordered before the restaurant close an hour or so I don't know why they're closed when everything in town is open now so they can't say it's a snow I'm just disappointed I've been disappointed by this before because they didn't add spices or something and I normally spend 40 to $80 for myself I'm just mad read more

We went in October for our anniversary. First we were seated right behind what HAD to be a prostitute. Decent people don't want to set next to horrible people. There should be a section for each type of people. One for trashy cussing bar types. One for parents of young kids, and one for adults who want a peaceful meal. And when I take my kids to eat I would rather sit beside other kids rather than rude drunk men yelling f*** constantly. The bathroom was flooded and only 1 working toilet. The food was awful. The Alfredo looked like it had sat out all day. The steak was raw, not medium. A big hair in the salad. read more

Went to Princeton for a funeral and ended up dining at this Outback. It was nice and clean with a good atmosphere. Two of us ordered the prime rib and it came out dry. It was late evening so it may have been sitting for a while. We told our server and she could not have been any nicer or more helpful. We ordered sirloins and they were absolutely delicious. The manager came out to apologize and make sure our new order was perfect, which it was. Would definitely visit there again. read more

Worst prime rib ever. Shoe leather tough and flavorless. Service was great for takeout though. Not going back to Outback, eve. Yuck.

Overpriced and overrated. The portions are too small and are no longer fresh. The service and food delivery are both slow and the wait staff stand around on their phones while expecting a decent tip. read more

The bread was pretty dry here. Neither my partner nor I finished it. The French onion soup was my favorite part of the meal! Fries were a bit too soft for me. read more

I can customize my vegetable sides here-- which I love! They never overlook the vegetables, especially the broccoli. The service here is stellar; LaToya is the best! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Mixed vegetables, sweet potato with cinnamon only - Steakhouses Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

No rules, here seem to be the theme for a staff which spends more time socializing at the host stand than serving. My very empty water glass, and the three times that I had to drag away my server from making time with the lovely hostess was not a unique problem. This seems to be a habit here. So, when my steak came out lukewarm, was I surprised? When it took four tries to get one soft drink to our table, was I shocked? Haven't been to an Outback in years. The steak is much worse than it was back then. The Mac and cheese, which used to rock, is dry, and heavy, with poor texture. I didn't see the Morton Salt company's sponsorship logo on the menu, but the veggies were a hypertensive mess. The fried foods they shine on. Do I really need a high cal dipper next to the deep-fried, and very greasy, steak and macaroni bites? This is a roadside unit. It runs very much like a place that assumes that few people who are there will be back. I know that I won't be. read more

We visit the Outback occasionally. The last time we were the service was mediocre. In the past everything was really great. We were certainly disappointed. Our beverages were not refilled and we had to ask for water. We will go back eventually, but for the price, we were not happy. read more

I was here a 2:00 in the afternoon, not busy. I waited 45 min after my steak was ordered and it comes out raw. They wanted to cook it more but once a steak cools and you re cook it looses it moisture and flavor. I then asked for a box for my blooming onion and she never brought it. Bad service and it was freezing inside. read more

Okay food they have an old promo for blooming onion that made me buy a onion but didn't get the free one cause promo is over. The management team needs to address this. read more

The food was amazing and everything was perfect, i recently had my wisdom teeth removed and the food was so easy to eat. The service was beyond excellent kenzie served me and my mother and her and peyton are the nicest servers Ive had in the outback establishment she was so nice and she recommended the best chop salad for my mother and the house salad for me, it was truly an amazing night with her service. The ambiance was very peaceful and it made the dinner more enjoyable than to just eat in silence elsewhere. read more

Awful! Ribs so tuff and fatty that we couldn't eat them the Mac and cheese was old like rubber and burnt completely nasty

I have never been so disrespected as I was tonight! I will never go back there again! The waitresses and the young girl at the front were awful! If I'm going to spend $100 there I'm not going to be treated that way! read more

I asked for a manager since my food had been incorrectly cooked. My waitress told the manager, whose name is Chad, and he proceeded to sit at another customer's table for over 30 minutes while my food was still incorrect. We ended up paying the bill and leaving. Chad also had a mild attitude as if we cooked the food and it was our fault. I will not be returning unless new management is implemented. read more

Emilie and Raina are the best. Very helpful, friendly, and makes for a great dining experience. We look forward to seeing them on our dining out nights. read more

We've eaten here dozens of times but they're having a difficult time with a sufficient number of servers. Our last meal, we had a member of our party follow 45 minutes behind. His entree was served before our salads or our entrees. My wife and I end up sharing our water because it was never refilled and the waitress had simply too many tables. She was very friendly but couldn't keep up with them all. Food was not the best. read more

My wife and I had the prime rib. It was Our server Laine was even better than the prime rib. Very attentive, polite, and respectful. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I wish I could give a negative star, A friend and I ordered food online, to be delivered, it never showed, when she called to ask where the food was, the manager Chuck was extremely rude. He was extremely disrespectful and as long as he works there I will never go back!! read more

The manager, Mandy was absolutely fabulous and was willing to fix any issues we may have encountered throughout dinner. Our waitress, Kayla was also super sweet and did a great job! We had a great experience! read more

Always a great experience! the manager, Nelson was very helpful and attentive. Bartender, Michael, was amazing as always! Got the cheese fries and a couple of drinks with my friend. We had a great time! read more

Our waitress Adrienne was absolutely top notch!! The cheese fries and the Raspberry cheesecake are fabulous!!!

This experience could not have been any better. Our waitress Adrian was awesome, very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without going overboard. The manager Chuck Wilcher came by to make sure everything was to our liking when the food came out. The manager Justin Lilly came by a couple times to make sure our drinks were full, the food was correct, and all was well. These folks are running a fabulous place, the food is great, the atmosphere is better. We will keep coming back! read more

This was some of the worst service we've ever had! The waitress was rude and ignorant. My mother said she was still working on her salad and the waitress took the plate. She had no courtesies and was short the whole time. The food was good but not great. My steak was a tad undercooked, (which is better than over cooked). The soup was watery. Definitely a let down from such an esteemed establishment. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Roasted Garlic Filet Medallions* - Steakhouses Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

Ate there Monday evening with 2 others - ordered blooming onion, so burnt and brittle. Terrible. I got soup and salad - potato soup was cold ( so was other person's), sent it back, was at least warm. Food was not up to par. Not sure I will be back, food was not good. read more

Visited on Saturday night. They were busy but we were seated within 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly. We are POC. When travelling through small town America, it means a lot to get good service. I felt at ease here. The food was mediocre. The ribs werent meaty enough. Overall its a good, safe place for a meal, but dont expect too much from the food. read more
