Austin's Cattle Company

Austin’s Cattle Company in Valdosta is always a fantastic experience! The steaks are perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly as ordered — absolutely delicious. The salad bar is fresh and well stocked, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive. They rebuilt new restaurant at same location.. plenty of room . Same great food! If you’re in Valdosta and want a great steakhouse, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

⭐️ Austin’s Cattle Company – Valdosta, GA I stopped here on my way from Valdosta to Tallahassee and I’m really glad I did. The place has an authentic old-school design with a warm, rustic atmosphere, and there’s plenty of free parking outside. The hostess greeted me with a smile and seated me right away. The restaurant is large with multiple sections that feel almost like a cozy maze. I ordered the French onion soup and a steak — both were excellent. The soup was rich and cheesy, and the steak was cooked perfectly with great flavor. Service was polite, friendly, and fast. Great spot for a solid meal on the road. Highly recommended! 🥩🍲✨

The food presentation was excellent, as usual. This local steakhouse is a favorite of mine that I have frequented for quite some time. The staff was attentive and very pleasant. I highly recommend trying the 24oz T-Bone steak for those with a hearty appetite. I will certainly return. Keep up the great tasting food and customer service! A++

Overall decent place to go grab some food, are order specifically was not made correct. Appetizer was good ordered the Gator tail and the sauce was awesome jalapeno pepper honey! Now when it came to our main course everything fell short. My wife ordered the 7 oz filet medium and it came very well done and dry. I ordered the prime ribe medium rare and came out like they didn't even cook it I've had medium rare a ton of times with prime rib but never had to deal with this level of raw the server was nice asked if we wanted a refund but I said it's fine I just don't think we will come back again.

Austin’s Cattle Company in Valdosta provided an excellent dining experience. The prime rib was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The coconut shrimp was well prepared, and the French onion soup was exceptional, rich and satisfying. The service was attentive and professional, which added to the overall experience. A strong choice for a high-quality steakhouse meal and one I would confidently recommend.

I’ve been to Austin’s plenty times and the food and service was always A1 BUT since they’ve remodeled the restaurant, the food is NASTY! My server Kate was awesome! Shout out to Kate but the cook couldn’t get my steak right. I asked for well done TWICE and it came back rare BOTH times. The manager was a sweetheart and she did give me a meal free and said her apologies. However, the meal that was given was still nasty but at least management did their job. Austins please retrain the cook!!

Most excellent dinner, service and restaurant. Our waitress was amazing my steak I got the Tbone was juicy seasoned and cooled to perfection. I also got the Caesar salad and loaded baked potato which was buttery and tender. My husband got the New York strip which was also super tender he said the fries weren't as fresh as he would have liked but all in all so good. Also they need to update the menu prices as they arent what you see online.

The food was very good. We had Gator Tail for an appetizer. Their loaf of bread they bring you is amazing! It's pretty big, soft and warm, yummy! The steaks are a little too heavily seasoned for us but cooked to perfection. Their baked potatoes are good as well but too heavily salted. We should've asked about their salt and seasoning, our bad The service was great, we had a very nice young lady. We had to wait a little while to be seated, they were very busy. We waited about 30-40 minutes even though we were told 15. It was probably due to being the day before Father's Day. We also had to wait to get silverware. The atmosphere was nice, not too loud. The decor is pretty cool. I would recommend this restaurant if your in the area!

Wow, their happy hour is off the charts. $2 for a delicious IPA is unheard of. Perfectly paired with a ribeye the first day, and a prime rib the second day of my business trip. I didn't have to look elsewhere, I knew I was coming back. Loved everything about this place. The new decor (I heard it was much smaller, and the pics showed that) is great, the food is spectacular, service excellent, prices reasonable. I also tried their french onion soup and that was excellent as well. I don't think you can go wrong here, especially at happy hour!

Our first visit and last. When we came in we were seated quickly, we arrived at 4:30. Our waiter came and took our drink order and appetizers. The drinks were delivered and that was the fastest of all deliveries. He brought out the appetizers, 2 of the 3 salads that came with the dinners, I had to remind him that I had one also and he had to go and put it in, he forgot. We did get bread to the table, the first loaves were cold, finally got second loaves and they were warm. The one lady with us ordered a burger with grilled onions and mushrooms on the side, the burger with onion rings was brought out and no onions and mushrooms. She was told it would be a few minutes, the rest of us finished our dinners and she still had not received the rest of her meal. We had to ask for a new hamburger for her so it would be warm. Finally brought out a whole new plate of food with the grilled onions and mushrooms. We had to ask for a box for her food as she by this point just wanted to go, all of us had been done eating for at least 20 minutes. The waiter was nice but very bad at coming back and checking on us as a table. Pictures and stuffed animals were great, the ambiance was nice, the best part of the whole visit.

Austin's has been a staple in Valdosta as long as I can remember back to the 80s or early 90s. I came here this week with my daughter and grandkids as I live in Athens and don't get a chance to get out much and most of the time I'm down in Valdosta we eat at home, but decided we wanted to go out and we chose Austin's because we wanted steak!! Arrived and got a table quite quickly , and landed in the middle I guess, this place is huge, and we got a six top table with three adults and three small children. Our server Marla ( I think I can't find my receipt.), got our drink orders and some fries for the kids to be entertained quite quickly while we looked at the menus to decide what to get for everybody. She was a great server and took great care of us so thank you for the great service upfront!!! I was actually shocked at the pricing of the steaks and prime rib as they were well below market value in Northern Georgia. So I opted for the 10 ounce fillet., a Caesar salad salad and some vegetables, while my son-in-law got the 12 ounce Delmonico with side order of grilled shrimp. My fillet was bacon wrapped, and when I made the first cut, I drooled.! it was perfect! Then I tasted it. It was more than perfect.!! Literally the best steak I've had in years and I am a Chef! The Delmonico steak and shrimp were juicy , had a totally different flavor from the fillet and was delicious!! My daughter also has a 12 ounce Ribeye( the Delmonico , which is named after the restaurant and the way it is cooked, but it's a ribeye). We had enough steak to split for the kids., but got them a couple of order of fries and we did start with the buffalo chips, which are a must have! These are homemade chips with blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce and are the bomb!! My kids and I have loved blue cheese potato chips since visiting our most favorite old Diner in Buckhead, Atlanta and make them at home all the time! The 10 ounce fillet was only $34 which I thought it was a great value in 2025 !! I don't want them to raise prices but the same steak up here near Athens, Georgia would be 55 maybe $60. Even the 16 ounce primary was under $40 and is the best prime rib you'll get in the southeast anywhere.!! Austin's is a staple, unfortunately for me it's off the beaten path when I get into town so I don't go out there much but I'll be back again within six months now that my memory is jogged on how good it is. Restaurant is expanding where they are and if you are looking for a steak , or burger and sandwiches and other things they offer, you will not be disappointed. Great service , great food , great memories . Highly recommend.!!

On my goodness! From the front door to our table, nothing but sweetness & nice employees!! Caytelee was our amazing server!! She had recommendations as soon as we sat!! He had the cold beer and I had the Luke's Punch, so good!! He had the New York strip with BP & he said it was delicious! I had the amazing perfectly cooked ribeye & garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was just so good!!

New building is huge! Their servers are always well trained and pleasant. We both had grilled grouper and it was excellent!! Bread is to die for! This place should be on your list.

The food was great & the service was even better! A great Southern meal with a wide selection of drinks as well as delicious desserts & appetizers. Recommendation: Gator Bites, French Onion Soup, Steak Tips, and the Country Fried Steak!

We were seated immediately and our server Christy was prompt to take our drink order. We ordered peach drinks that were delish. We both ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. Christy was attentive and friendly. The place was busy but not packed making it easy to talk across the table. Definitely worth the venture off I -75 in Valdosta to have a great steak dinner.

I have been here before YEARS ago. Its always been pretty good but let me tell you, thier new location... I dont know if they have new cooks or anything but PLEASE if you want a good steak, GO, RUN! I got the ribeye with salad and mashed potatoes and I also got the ahi tuna appetizer. Absolutely DIVINE! My craving for a perfect steak has been 100% satisfied! However, I might be in trouble because I already want to go back! 10/10 recommend Emily, our server, was super sweet as well!

I went here last night with family. Excellent customer service, food was delicious. I had a filet mignon with grilled shrimp and try their homemade remoulade sauce, delicious!

We stopped here on our way to Alpharetta. It was 8:30pm and the place was still very crowded. We each got the filet and Caesar salad. Our server (Caitlin S.) was awesome. Very sweet and very attentive. The meal and service were great and made the trip more enjoyable. Thank you and we stop by anytime passing through Valdosta!

The steaks were amazing, especially the ribeye. The fresh bread with sweet cream butter was a great start. We had the gator bites for an appetizer and coconut shrimp. Both were really good and loved the flavor in their sauces that came with it.

Great staff all around, excellent steaks cooked to perfection every single time, the only thing is being picky the only sides I like that they have are the baked potato and salad but don't really care for the taste of their 1000 island dressing and it's the only kind I like.

I called in August to reserve a table for 13 for my employees. I hoped to make our holiday dinner special. I verified our reservation three times beforehand. We all showed up. We were told that they don't take reservations. Then why tf did you take my reservation?!?! I knew it was a mistake. We always book Jack's ChopHouse. Lesson learned. Never again will I go to Austin's. You are bullshit.

Fantastic food, quick service and super friendly staff. We will be back soon! We were told a 30 min wait but only waited around 15 minutes during the middle of dinner rush. Great place!

Nice country atmosphere. Great service and our meal came out real quick. My wife had a sandwich with fries and there was so much meat on it she took some off. My salad was fresh and tasty. My potato and steak were cooked to perfection and had great flavors. I would definitely recommend Austin's.

Waited for table. Normal wait time of 30 min for Saturday night, no big deal. Used men's restroom while waiting. Saw small German roaches on floor , left bathroom and joined my wife at reception area and saw two more German roaches on floor scurrying away. People stepping over then. No thanks. We left and decided to eat elsewhere.

It's fine for Albany but definitely not the best steakhouse ever. It's a low level Texas Roadhouse. Service was great but food was mediocre I'm

The bread tastes like cardboard. I call it depression era bread. I get it's cheaper than their old bread, but it has no taste.

The five star reviews were right. This place has excellent steaks and service. It's also a very nice place inside. We stopped here for dinner after getting gas for our drive home to FL. Javian was our wait staff and he was exceptional. He took our drink orders, and when he returned with them, we ordered a T-bone for Husband and a Delmonico for me with baked potatoes and side salads. Javian brought a loaf of bread that looked and tasted yummy with or without butter. Then came the salads. The Ranch dressing was the best we've had. They make it themselves, and we purchased a pint for $9.99. The steaks came next, and after one bite, we both said, WOW! They were cooked they way we wanted, too. The potatoes were good as well. Javian asked if we wanted dessert, but we were full. We'll have to come back again and not eat as much so we can try the desserts. We will be back!

Husband and I have been eating at Austins monthly for 24 years and is our go to restaurant; however, I realize they are getting ready to move to their new building and possibly other changes...but our visit on July 30, 2025 may be our last. We always sit in the bar area and normally have same pool of servers who do great job. This night we saw no one familiar and had never had this waitress before. She had a "full head of hair" lets say.... and observed her carrying each tray of food out of kitchen on her shoulder "with her hair laying in someone's salad!!! Needless to say...we couldn't stomach our plates after witnessing this and knowing may have hair in ours. She even had salad dressing in her hair when she stopped by our table and husband pointed it out, she didn't seem to care. Please do better Austins, i won't be recommending for now.

Great lunch today with my family! It was so good the new building is nice. Great service from Charlie! I love the beard Charlie.

Service was great. Kid's meal and salads came out in good time. Our prime ribs took a very long time to come out, especially since everyone nearby who ordered after us got their meals first. My husband's med-rare was perfect he said, my med-well was so over cooked and dried out. Our son got ice cream with his meal and though it came out pretty fast it was mostly melted. We were visiting the area for a few days. If we come back to Valdosta, this probably won't be on our list.

Stopped on our way back to Florida. Recommended by a local hotel. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was delivered without a bun, tomato and the French fries were barely warm and definitely not crisp. I told the girl who delivered my meal and she said that she would get the waitress. I had to wait for quite a while for the waitress to return, so everything was cold. The waitress brought a bun with tomato on a plate, and by then everything was cold, so I asked for it to be remade. They just took it in the back and gave me new fries, but I was too frustrated to make a big deal about it. My husband's prime rib was cooked med-rare as ordered but he had to cut the crust off because it was too salty. Otherwise the meat and cocoanut shrimp tasted good. After a long day of driving, I doubt we will come here again on our next trip through Valdosta.

My husband and I just stopped in for lunch. We aren't familiar with the area since we are from Delaware and are taking a three week road trip. Our server, Sasha, was awesome! Very accommodating! Answered all our questions. The food was excellent and affordable. The people were friendly as well! Next time we head through the area, we will definitely stop by!

We came by for a birthday dinner. We were a bit surprised to find it attached to a hotel. We walked in and were seated right away. It is decorated with train memorabilia and animal mounts. It was busy with a large party in our room and most of the tables filled in the other. I had A Strawberry Martini to start. It was good. We ordered the 16 oz Ribeye and ground steak dinners. Our salads came out first and we both enjoyed them with honey mustard and balsamic vinaigrette dressings. The Ribeye was excellent and cooked just the way he liked it, veggies were crunchy and also good. The ground steak and onions were good but a bit greasy. The baked potato was also good. The meal and service overall were good. We would go back for steaks again when in the area.

Delicious food, fun atmosphere, and friendly service! The bread that comes with the meal is so good! The prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce was tasty but I especially loved the grilled shrimp with remoulade sauce. The seasoning rub on my husband's steak was unique and tasty but he preferred my prime rib. Kids loved the popcorn shrimp and steak plus ice cream! And my margarita was strong and cheap! Great combo! Can't wait to come back!!

Love it ambiance waiter were superb the Resturant accommodates big parties food was great

Wanted a cheeseburger, a good one for a while. Was in Valdosta and Austin's popped up. The place was as expected, top notch. The wait staff was good. The bread was good. The burger was large, a definite plus. LOTS of lettuce in one leaf, slide of mater and one thick cut ring from an onion. A bit more onion is appreciated. The burger was bland. Disappointing. The menu says the burgers are made from daily steak trimmings. I believe it. Just the trimmings, the part cut away because it doesn't do well as a steak. That is what burgers are often made from, but ya gotta add some seasonings to that kinda ground meat. The bun was large, fair to the taste. A toasting could have improved it a lot. Still want a good cheeseburger. Won't be back .

Stopped to eat while traveling through. Greeted by hostesses and seated promptly. Restaurant is clean and casual. Choice between sitting in bar or restaurant. Ordered the lunch steak and the beef tips, both come with two sides and bread. The meat was cooked as ordered and both meals were delicious. Will definitely return when traveling through again! It looks like they are building a new, larger restaurant behind the current location. Looks to be a local favorite, and I can see why.

Was traveling to Florida from Georgia to visit family and stopped at Austin's after calling for a take-out meal. Austin's staff were friendly, the service was on time, as stated, and the food was fresh and warm. Thanks for feeding a traveler!

Sat at the bar and had dinner. The bartender was friendly and accommodating to all our requests. The menu is extensive. My lemon drop martini was made just right.

Came here to celebrate my MLIS and I am soooo glad I did. It was my first visit to Valdosta and I didn't want a big chain restaurant. I ordered the (36.99) "TRAIL BOSS" PORTERHOUSE 24OZ (medium well) and it was the best steak I ever had. I always use steak sauce and I didn't reach for it once! The bread was so fresh and fluffy and their sweet-tea was phenomenal. I am already dreaming about leftovers tomorrow because that's how big the steak was. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly.

Service was great and the young lady said it was her first day. She did a good job! The salad,filet and loaded potato was all very good. Very clean and pretty restaurant. We will definitely be back when in Valdosta!

We arrived on Saturday afternoon to the Sports bar section. Great food & drinks. It's nicest sports bar in the area. Excellent steak & sandwich options. Plenty of TVs for your favorite sports teams. This will be our go to place from now on. Gavin was our waiter & he was great. We definitely will return.

My ribeye steak (ordered medium rare) was RAW, and all but impossible to cut. Why not send it back? Because I waited long enough to get it in the first place. Even if it was cooked as requested, there was a coating of some kind of seasoning on it that was the saltiest thing I'd ever tasted. It was INEDIBLE. The baked potato was good, which for a steak restaurant is not high praise. The salad was just a salad...no thought put into it at all. The iced tea that I got was free, and that's something, I guess. The young lady waitperson was probably pleasant, but how would I know that? She never spoke above a whisper! Tired of playing the game of "What? I'm sorry...what did you say", I just took over both parts of the conversation, no matter what she might have been saying..."I'd like the Rio Grande Ribeye, medium-rare, a baked potato with butter and sour cream, and a salad with bleu cheese dressing, and that'll complete my order". My bill came to $40.28, or something close. I gave Silent Sally three twenties, which she took, and to her credit returned quickly. She put one of my twenties back on the table. Looking at her with confusion as I did, she said (I think) "We kicked in the twenty-eight cents". Um...that left me with not enough to leave a tip! She asked (rumor has it) "Did you need the change"? I said "More to the point, YOU need the change"! She understood, got me the change, and I contributed to her enunciation lessons. To sum up, Sally will be a fine employee someday, but the steak should have stayed 'on the hoof'...which it looked like, anyway.

Bland food, horrible mixed drinks, so overpriced. Food delivered incorrectly twice, food had little to no flavor and presentation was lacking. Please do not eat here.

For a motel restaurant on the side of side of I-75 south of no-where, this place is a gem! I've been here five or six times when I visit family in the area and I've never been disappointed. The prime rib is wonderful and melts in your mouth. The filet if fantastic and I can recommend the burgers and the fried shrimp (lightly dusted like they do on the gulf). Service is spot one!

If you are heading south on I-75 towards Valdosta definitely stop here. Amazing steakhouse with great prime rib. Nothing fancy just really good food.

Ooft I really wanted to like this place! We made a special stop on our road trip through Georgia to Florida and it had super great reviews but it was not great. The service was really good, our server was kind, patient, and very hospitable! Since this restaurant is connected to the Inn next door it is deceptively large with a dining and a sports bar section. My husband wanted to watch the basketball playoff game so we sat in the bar... such a mistake. The men in there were so loud and belligerent it was hard to hold a conversation because they were screaming at each other (it was just our two parties in the area). The bartender encouraged it all and it was a bit flabbergasting. My husband ordered the NY strip and was so juicy, cooked to perfection, and seared beautifully. I unfortunately had a bacon wrapped filet mignon that had sad and limp bacon, raw (I asked for medium), and very flavorless. It tasted like it was baked in oil and very unsettling. I ate a few bites before conceding that I would just grab some BK in the next town over.

This review is based on two visits to this steakhouse. We came here last year on recommendations of a local hotel. My wife's ribeye was to die for. So we made a special trip here while on our way to Disney. This trip was a different experience. First of all, the staff were very nice and attentive. The restaurant was kept clean. For a Tuesday night, the main dining room was full. So the issues came with the steaks and dessert. My steak lacked any seasoning and was a bit tough. My wife's was seasoned well but was tougher than mine. Were they bad steaks? No, but not worth $36. The baked potato and salads were good, with my wife saying it was one of the best blue cheese salad dressing she has had. The fried cheesecake tasted good but the pastry was tough and needed to be cut with a knife. So in combination with the first and second visits, I'm going to give this place three stars. This can't be same level of steaks they normally serve as they were packed on a Tuesday night.

We have been past this place many times. Decided to stop today. So glad we did! We had excellent meals, the prices weren't bad. Our server Allie was great!

Passing through Valdosta for the night. Great dinner. Servers were very attentive. Lived the old steakhouse charm!

Awesome food and service. Best season steaks in the land. Bake potato and salad as simple as it, here at Austin's seems to have that extra freshness about it in taste and texture. Service is always fast and professional. They just don't miss!

I had to travel to south Georgia to work Hurricane Helene. This was a great place with great prices and good food ! The bartenders are Awesome!!!!

4.5 stars! This place kinda gives an antique country vibe, but homey nonetheless. The food is pretty good! I had no major complaints with my meal. As an appetizer, I had the cheese sticks. They sprinkle cheese on top and that was the additional chef's kiss I never knew I needed in my life. The Caesar salad was also good, the greens were very fresh. I came around lunch time and ordered the "gulf coast siesta" which contained tilapia, grilled shrimp, and a side of choice. I'm not a huge fan of tilapia, but it was ok. Nothing special. The shrimp were really good, and the accompanying sauce was like a spicy tarter sauce. I enjoyed it also.

The New York strip was thick and juicy. The Philly cheese steak sub was so good with the right amount of peppers and's onions with a nice soft sub roll and juicy meat. Great sweat potato fries and garlic mashed potatoes. The service was a little slow but not bad. They may have been a server short. You have to ask for the complimentary bread or you won't get it. It was very good when I did ask for it. I would definitely come back here for steak! The restaurant is a good size but not overly noisy

Service, food quality, and atmosphere was wonderful. It was my first visit but I will definitely be back!

We're back here! Absolutely enjoy the food and drinks in this well established steak house. My prior review was in 2016, but we have returned a couple more times, like 5 days ago. And so we return 5 days later. Our usual run between South Florida and Blairsville is Valdosta, always choosing to eat at Austin's. The filet mignon is still every bit excellent, nice outside crust with a warm reddish center if you order medium. Cut with a fork. Tastes so delish that it needs nothing but a good bite The Cosmos were still perfectly created and I don't even ask for top shelf vodka! I'm still staying away from the wine since I'm a pseudo snob, lol. Beer choices are very good for hubby like good tap choices. Servers are so sweet and helpful. If food is your main denominator then eat here for 5plus food and drink Here's a pic of my medium petit filet

It's what's behind the front door that counts. Welcoming host desk, cloth napkins, comfortable ranch house interior. Our 1/2 lb steak burgers medium-rare perfection on toasted buttered bun offered with a cheese selection - we chose a smoked Gouda and a blue cheese. Sides from fries to healthy steamed broccoli. Will stay on our list of places to visit again.
