Outlaws | Steakhouse — Attraction in Watford City

Very nice experience! It's been a few years since we've dined at an Outlaws; we were totally impressed with the revamped menu. Their focus on fresh ingredients and new combinations made it very challenging to choose just enough food for this meal!

Prices are not cheap, but not exorbitant, and honestly, the upscale menu offerings are worth a bit more. Everything came out to us beautifully plated. Cloth napkins, sturdy cutlery, and solid dinnerware (it's a pleasant dining experience, as opposed to a trip to Mickey D's).

We started with the charcuterie board (from their limited-time-only specials menu), which was incredibly good. My hubs ordered the walleye (perfectly seasoned with lemon pepper, and beautifully broiled), with a cup of french onion soup. The fish didn't taste at all "fishy," and I think the soup was the best I've ever tasted.

I got the Italian burger (burger topped with prosciutto, salami, lettuce, tomato, a thick slice of fresh mozzarella, and a perfectly seasoned garlic aioli), with a side salad. The burger was flame broiled, the fresh mozzarella was melting over all, the aioli was superb; the salad was a lovely mix of bite-sized greens (I hate it when huge chunks of salad greens require me to stuff my mouth like a ravenous lumberjack), with lots of diced tomato, shredded carrot, plenty of freshly shredded cheese (two kinds), chunky croutons, and 3 thinly sliced rings of onion. I got the house-made bleu cheese dressing, which was also the best I've ever tasted.

We really like the decor; a rustic-modern salute to our western heritage. And the service was excellent. Thank you, Linda, for your top notch suggestions and friendly, attentive service!

Suffice it to say we were not disappointed with anything we tried. We will gladly...

I actually don't leave reviews ever, first time doing this, I just feel the need to put this out there. I'm a very generous tipper, I had a great experience here once before when I brought my colleagues out for dinner but this time it was just awful. This time I brought my wife and kids here for dinner and spent $120 on complete and utter garbage. Needless to say, I won't personally risk the embarrassment professionally when I'm entertaining clients in the future. They won't see my group again. See bullets below for my explanation.

• it was the early evening, pretty quiet around the place and we waited 40 minutes for our food.

• the children's food came out barely warm like it had been sitting for good while. They had burgers off of the kids menu and I'm sure you all know what cold cheese "product" looks like. Fml their meals looked worse than a precooked store bought microwaved and forgotten meal.

• my wife had the salmon and it came out so over salted that i myself would be embarrassed to serve it in the privacy of my own home.

• the staff looked all to be around 18-21 with the exception of my waitress whom I actually felt bad for.

• when we walked in as a family we found the hostess and waitresses having a laugh between themselves and completely ignored the fact that we were waiting for a table (awkward 140 seconds). Totally unbecoming, unwelcoming and furthermore unprofessional. Not even and ," we will take care of you in a minute sir or ma'am."

In conclusion, save yourself the embarrassment and take your group or family to an establishment that has their ACT together. I regret not going to stonehome or outsiders or for Christsakes Taco Johns instead...

I'm a server and this place had the worst service I've ever had. Granted we had a larger party. I asked for water three times and never got it so I had no drink with my food. They missed putting in two of our salads with our food order. My little brothers nachos came out cold. The lady next to me ordered boneless wings and got traditional. We asked to talk to a manager and waited over 20 minutes after we were done eating and they never came over. They charged us full price for everything and told us they were just too busy. I was more then upset with the service. The food took over an hour to come out. Which is understandable because we had a party of 8 people but factored in with everything else it just wasnt a good experience. The only positive things I have to say was the food tasted good and the server named Kevin who would come by who wasn't our server was the only person who seemed to be very attentive when he would come by. He was the only person who asked us if we needed anything else and actually brought it to our table. But being a server for 4 years I know the ins and outs of the industry and I was really underwhelmed by the service of this place....
