The Outpost Steakhouse - Burney, California

916climber

At first glance, The Outpost in Burney, California, might appear to be just a dive bar. But don’t let its unassuming exterior fool you; it serves one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time.

I ordered my steak medium rare, paired with loaded mashed potatoes, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak was juicy and flavorful, exactly how a medium-rare steak should be. The loaded mashed potatoes were a great complement, rich and satisfying.

The dressing for the salad was a bit watery, as mentioned in other reviews, but it brought back fond memories of an Italian restaurant I used to visit with my dad when I was a kid, so I didn’t mind at all.

The atmosphere at the bar was welcoming and enjoyable. I had the chance to chat with a few of the employees, who made me feel right at home. It’s always a pleasure to find a place where the staff is friendly and engaging.

Overall, I highly recommend The Outpost to anyone in the Burney area. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s worth stopping by for a phenomenal steak in a warm, inviting setting.

Our entire party was happy with our food. Most of us ordered steak, they were all cooked perfectly and well seasoned. They made great cocktails and service was excellent. Highly recommend eating here if you are looking for a higher quality dinner.

The best server and food manager in the valley, Jess, is now at the outpost for breakfast and lunch! I am a total snob when it comes to biscuits and gravy, and hands-down theirs is the best!! Danelle got a classic breakfast and her eggs were cooked perfectly (mine, too), the home fries were crispy, and the service excellent. Fri-Sun for breakfast, get there!

An old school steak house. The prime rib was excellent. However the service was lacking, we were seated right away, but it took 15min for someone to take our order, then about 15 for the soup and another 15 to 20 min before we got the main dishes.

The chicken piccata was very well prepared. The loaded mashed potatoes were flavorful. The very were a slight disappointment because of they were not hot like the rest of the plate.

Absolutely awful service. I went in and had to wait a long time just to get a table, even though they weren’t busy. Then I was asked where I wanted to sit, but was forced to sit at a table in the corner. It’s obvious I was treated this way because I wasn’t a local. I waited 15 minutes to be acknowledged by anyone and just left. Definitely do not recommend unless you live here.

I waited an hour and forty minutes for my main course. I find that utterly unacceptable.

My friend and I arrived at the door at 8:10 pm on a Saturday night. Seating took about 15 minutes, which I guess is not unreasonable. I noticed that the restaurant was busy but not fully packed. All the service staff were running around but some clearly had other priorities like cleaning glasses than sitting down guests.

Then getting the menu took another 10 minutes or so. Then began the long wait. 25 minutes after ordering, some warm bread and melted butter arrived, along with the side salads. Then another 30 minutes passed until some very hot and tasty - I'll admit - wings were brought to our table. At this point it was 9:30 and we were famished. We asked the waitress when our main course was finally arriving. She was cheerful and optimistic and said the chef is cooking as fast as she could. She brought us more water. And more water. Finally after 1 hour 40 minutes our main courses - a grilled salmon and a ribeye steak were eventually served. A whooping 100 minutes between we entered and when we got our food. It was 10 pm at this point.

The food itself was not bad. It was on the pricier side but we were prepared for that. But the slowness of the service in general and the food in particular left a very bad taste in our mouth. I wouldn't recommend this to travelers who just want their hungry tummies filled before getting on the road again.
