Short wait on a Saturday, place was packed, seated after 20mins. My rib eye steak was cooked to perfection just like i wanted, medium rare. Server was fast and efficient. Dessert was also good if you have a room for more.

Thoroughly disappointed in tonight’s dinner service. Outback is normally one my favorites but tonight’s dinner was horrible. Our server had no personality and didn’t seem like he wanted to be there. The bad service mimicked the sh*t food that was served. My medium rib eye steak had way too much gristle and was beyond rare. Only 1⁄3 of it was actually edible. The Broccoli and cheddar was way too salty to eat. The Mojito that I ordered was nasty and watered down and was sent back after the first sip. For a Friday night the restaurant wasn’t very busy so the food shouldn’t have been so bad. It makes me sad that Outback was so horrible tonight because there is usually great service and yummy food. But tonight’s service was unsettling. It makes me question if I’ll ever be back.

Geez, I had such a great experience at Outback today …I just can’t believe it! The food was delicious and our server Ryan was fantastic! I had the prime rib sandwich which was awesome. The fries were nice and crunchy and fresh and they are nice enough to ask if you want ketchup and/or ranch for the fries. We also had a blooming onion which was perfection. I don’t know how they make the dipping sauce, but I am a sauce guy and this sauce is just awe inspiring. Ryan was prompt about making sure our drinks were always full, he replenished the complimentary bread on a regular basis and was just great… hats off to Ryan. Ryan also boxed up the left overs for us and put them in a fancy bag rather than just dropping off a couple of boxes(went the extra mile). Just really really good service, don’t know how else to put it. And on top of it all I felt the food was worth every penny. It was probably the most impressive meal I’ve had in a little while. I will definitely be returning if I can continue to have an experience like I had today during lunch.

Good steaks cooked properly. If I’m not going to take the time to grill at home this is where I go. Sides are great and warm bread is served as well. Never had a bad experience.

Pricey, But my food was good. Janon was my waiter. Real cool cat and good service. Got seated right away. Drinks came out right away. Waited like 12 mins for my food which is fast considering it was busy. Food was good. No real complaints here. Wished my steak was a little more seasoned.

This is souly based on service. Ordered take out and the employee Josh did an amazing job. Very attentive to what I was ordering, to make sure my order was correct. Service was fast and for the convenience to not have to leave my car was even better. Definitely needs recognition.

Although I love the Ambiance(dark and cozy) they always keep it way to cold in the restaurant. I decided to do a review because my Husband ordered the grilled Pork Chops and he swears it was a slice of heaven. I know they looked amazing but I’m not real fond of pork. Their wait staff are very attentive and that’s very appreciated. I like their food but for the price it could be seasoned a lot better. They also say their steak sauce is A1 and there is no way that’s A1 I am a Steak Lover and my Palate is very discerning and I would love the option to eat one of their Bone in Rib-eye steaks with some A1!

There’s a reason why my family and I rarely come here. Every Time we eat here, something goes wrong with our food. My grandmother ordered a steak that tasted like it had been sitting out for a while rotting, my grandfather ordered a steak medium-well and it came out charcoaled all the way through and my steak which o ordered medium ended up coming out rare. I like a little blood but this was too much. LoL… giving them 2 stars just because the bartender can at least make a decent cocktail and get me drunk while trying to eat this food. Oh, and because the pitcher margaritas you can get here.

I love this place. Staff is always friendly. The food is always good. Buuuuuuuut. They recently have extremely downsized the portion of «bloomin onion» that you get. It’s probably half the size as they used to give. What’s up with that Outback? I had to tell my girlfriend that she couldn’t have her share.

I love Outback Steakhouse. Whenever I am home from school, my family and I always go to Outback. The food is so warm and comforting. The portions are huge too. Whatever you order you will be full but you’ll also be able to take some home for lunch tomorrow. Just not the fries. Everyone knows fries are gross on the second day. They have great bartenders. The bartenders are knowledgable on many drinks and they make them with such skill. The margaritas are delicious! They put it in a mason jar; its very large. You only need one to start feeling good. Their burgers are so juicy and delicious. I don’t get them as much anymore. I’m fixated on their seafood section. Their salmon has my heart. They have a salmon with mango salsa on top. So good! The salmon is savory and the salsa adds a little sweetness. If you get there and there is a large line, don’t worry they seat fast! Put your name in and walk around a bit. Its a great place to eat with the family, they aim to please

This location has been mediocre for me the 2 prior times I’ve eaten here, but unfortunately I thought I’d try it for my 3rd time… The service is friendly & welcoming, and everyone is timely with drinks & checking on you, but the foooood!!! Oohh man, no matter what I order it’s just barely okay, like not even worth finishing, basically a waste of(not very healthy) caloric intake. Each time I’ve come, I ordered a steak & while it was cooked properly(as far as being Medium, not over or under), it was BLANDASEVER! Seems like low quality meat as well. Lastnight, my Porterhouse tasted only of black pepper… granted, they offer steak sauce & creamy horse radish(which I gladly accepted)… but I prefer a steak to speak for itself. I shouldn’t HAVE to dip it in ANYTHING, period, unless I want to. Furthermore, this steak wasn’t seared! So no blackened, charred, crunchy areas, the surface was barely brown & looked just like a large pork chop. The sides were alright… their NEW mac n cheese has garlic bread crumbs on it, but was still bland, not creamy, & not very hot… theor NEW loaded mashed potatoes were good though. The best part of my meal was the Blue Cheese Wedge salad & their complimentary bread!!! If that says anything. I will not be coming back to this location.

THISISWHAT I WROTETOOUTBACKCORPORATE… The price of the ice tea is ridiculous. $ 3.25 for a single glass of tea is beyond what I am willing to pay anymore. Also the portion size of your french fries is a joke. I got no more fries if I would have bought an order of small fries at McDonalds. I counted the fries that was returned to me and I got exactly 13 french fries. In addition to that I had to send my fries back for some new ones because the Au Jus sauce was spilled all inside the plate soaking the fries. The portion of meat I got on my Prime Rib sandwich was not worth the $ 12.00 each I paid. It didn’t even cover the entire roll it came on. My wife and I ended up taking the meat from one half of our sandwich and put it on the other half just to make it worth eating. Over all, the $ 50.00 I paid(including tip) for my wife’s and my lunch was a rip off. One half of a sandwich each, 13 french fries each, and one glass of watered down ice tea each ??? Never again will I have lunch at your business. I am rethinking even having dinner at your business if getting ripped off at lunch is any indication of the future of Outback… This review will be posted on « Unilocal» for sure… P. S. Things sure changed in 8 months… :(

I used to go to a location in New York, but haven’t been to Outback in years. Originally, I either wanted to go to Yard House or make food at home, but it’s my birthday and I really didn’t want to cook. We came on Sunday night and it was around 8:30. The two stars are merely for the service. We were warmly welcomed and the service was great throughout the meal. The food? SALT, SALT, SALT… YUCK! Standard Bloomin’ Onion SALTCITY(should have waited until today to get a free Kevin Harvick one, LOL). My boyfriend and I both ordered and paid for a ridiculously overpriced filet and lobster meal, and they served us the THINNEST cut of filet, possible. The lobster was wayyyy too salty and metallic tasting. We were served 1 ½ tails a piece. We just couldn’t finish them. The server was very nice and gave us my free dessert(doesn’t do me any good, I have a slight milk allergy and can’t have ice cream) BUT we had it wrapped to go to take home to the kids. A sweet gesture, nonetheless. By the end of the meal, I guess it was just nice to get out of the house, but saving the $ 100 would have been nicer.

I was a little hesitant to come here because I have had bad experiences with chain steakhouses, but I was pretty impressed with this location. 7:30 pm on a Saturday night and we only waited about 15 minutes to be seated. The hostesses were friendly and accommodating. Started off with the blooming onion and it was delicious. Perfectly fried and not greasy at all. The dipping sauce was a perfect addition. I ordered a ribeye steak and a baked potato and the steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare. It could have used just a tad more seasoning, but was super tasty nonetheless. Our waitress was attentive and kept our drinks filled at all times. We had our toddler with us and towards the end of the meal she got a little whiny and fussy. Our waitress got us our bill really quickly and we were able to get outta there. I will return to this chain restaurant in the future, as my experience was great.

Not any better this time than last! Dry slightly over cooked NY. It was. a togo order this time but i only live 5 blocks away. Bar service was good but the quality of the meat sucked!

I’ve been coming to this place for years! It’s not the greatest place to get a good steak, but it’s reasonably priced and tasty! HYPES: I always gravitate toward the out back special, 7oz steak, medium rare. You get a choice of 2 sides. I suggest the veggies, baked potato or the mushroom sauce to smother your steak in. I had the fries the other night and there wasn’t anything special about them. Their medium rare is pretty bomb in my opinion! I’m not too snooty when it comes to steak, as long as it’s medium rare and not medium! I’ve never had to send my steak back here. Service is always great as well! I usually come in here with my big rowdy family and our servers are always troopers.(My fam can be overwhelming sometimes) very attentive, informative, quick and polite! Awesome that their hosts are always energetic and lively as well. GRIPES: Nothing major to gripe about, actually. I will always come here. 4 stars only cuz it isn’t theeeee greatest food ever, but it’s satisfying, hearty and a great family environment!

I haven’t been to an Outback Steakhouse in 20 years and normally wouldn’t go again as I felt it was overpriced. But, in this mornings e-mail I got a free Bloomin’ Onion via a promotion. I signed up for their NASCAR website and when the driver they sponsor does well on the weekend they give away free Bloomin’ Onions on Monday. Over the last 3 years I have gotten the notice for the freebie maybe 50 times, but I didn’t go to dinner on Monday. This week my Wife is out of town and I don’t feel like cooking for myself so I went to Outback. I flashed the free onion e-mail on my iPhone to the waiter and he gave me a «thumbs up.» It was big when it arrived, but looked tasty. It did taste fairly good. Not as much breading as a typical onion ring. I stopped after eating a little more than ¼ of it as I wanted to keep room for my Caesar salad with shrimp. The salad was a little smaller than I expected for $ 12.00, but it was good. It wasn’t loaded with dressing and I liked that. I ate ½ and ask for a to go box for it and the onion. Service was great, but it was a little too dark in there. Another downer is they are not open for lunch on weekdays. I don’t think I will go back as I feel after seeing the menu they are still over priced. OK, I know they are a steakhouse and I didn’t have a steak. Just the same over priced, sorry. Because of the free Bloomin’ Onion I will give them 3 stars. Thanks NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick!

Buffalo wings our family favourite and surf and turf too. Waiting was so long, so if you went there get ready for waiting in a long line for dinner, but some time they give you some sample to taste.
