    The establishment is nicely decorated, on the modern/contemporary side, with a nice bar and a few TV's by the bar gor watching sports. The place is wide open and decorated with mostly Australian memorabilia. The food is hit or miss. I had the porterhouse steak and it was one the toughest steaks i've ever eaten in a very long time. It also had way too much gristle, too much salt and lackluster flavor. I personally think that their cuts of meat are just average, and need to start buying better quality cuts of meat if they expect to get repeat business. I think I'm going to stick to the burgers, soup and salad next time. The service was very good and our waitress was very knowledgeable with the food menu items. The atmosphere is good and the staff does a great job at keeping the establishment nice and clean. They have a big parking lot with plenty of parking spaces to accommodate almost any type of vehicle.

    My food was delicious, our water Terrance was amazing!! The restaurant though, it was super busy and understaffed and everyone seemed like they were moving 50mph. It was not a "calm" eating environment. I give them a past because I visited the weekend that our mask-mandate ended.

    You can always count on Outback for a great night’s Dinner! Love their entire menu and the service especially. Great environment and also great servers. Especially Quinn, he was always checking up on our table and on top of everything! Extremely polite and the best server I ever had. Thank you Outback Steakhouse management and Quinn

    Had the Alice Spring Chicken with asparagus and side salad. Very tasty! Bacon smells so good and everything was flavorful! Bartender was friendly and prompt.

    We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised with the staff and the value for our money. I had the steak and shrimp. Which was very generous and cooked to my specifications. My wife had something else. We both had a drink. And the bill was less than a $100. I don't know how they keep the doors open at this prices. It was absolutely a pleasant surprise all around. Furthermore, we should not have been surprised that we had to wait to get a table. But this type of quality and pricing, I'm guessing many of these people will repeat customers. I should note that I have not been to this particular restaurant in probably 25 years. But will definitely be back.

    Ate at the bar. The bartender was friendly and pretty attentive. I ordered Caesar salad, queso & steak dip, French Onion Soup, prime rib, with a loaded bake potato. All of the food came out quickly and hot. I ordered a wallaby darn which was also delicious. The food was good as well.

    We had a great anniversary dinner. We were there on a Tuesday night and Mike was our server. He was so nice and was there throughout our meal, making sure everything was okay. His attitude and demeanor were great. He was always there even before we could think of asking for anything. The food came out quickly and was perfect, although the bloomin onion seems to be getting a bit smaller as the years go by. I would definitely recommend this location for a great night out, like ours was.

    This was my first time in the restaurant (I’ve ordered out before). We waited for a long time before someone came to take our drink order. We actually had to inform the host that no one greeted us yet. When she finally came to take our order, she left the table without saying a word. The food was also not good. It was all cold, my son’s steak was undercooked, and my husband’s burger had way too much mustard. Would not recommend.

    Great time and good food. I love that I can always get both stake and seafood combo. Either with shrimp or lobster.

  • 5/5 Sandra L. 7 months ago on Google
    Marcus was our server, and he was very attentive and informative. The Aussie rum punch was delicious. The steak tender and flavorful along was 4 shrimp on the barbie. My husband had the new meatloaf dinner which he said was really good with a spicy sauce. Alll in all a great dinner out. It was starting to get a bit crowded around 5:30 though.

    Quinn was an amazing waiter! Very attentive and very polite! Food was great and Quinn was always making sure we were well taken care of! I will come back to this location thanks to Quinn. Great experience thank you!

    Tim was a wonderful server! He had a smile on the whole time and was quick to help us with anything we needed! Thank you for the excellent service!

    Good service. Food is great. They have gluten free options so we always go back at least once a month.

    I recently visited and tried the new spicy meatloaf. I was not expecting it to be two patties that resemble frozen hamburger patties. The sauce was ok. The texture of the patties were mushy in the middle and burnt on the outside. I would not get this again!!! The saving grace of this trip was the excellent service.

    It's been a while since I have been to Outback Steakhouse the food was just ok for me, But Ben the Server and Bar Tender was AWESOME! In Chicago for a couple of days trying different restaurant, if I have time.🙏🏽

    On October 28, I celebrated my birthday here with family and friends. They where very accommodating to our group of 14 people. The staff was good. The food was good. I enjoyed myself. Thank you Outback. The staff even posed with me. 😊

    Tim was a great server. Went on a Saturday night so we did wait 25 minutes although they text when table is ready. Ordered my steak rare it was great. Wife ordered a burger and it was awesome as well.

    I dined in again this week with my husband, and we had an outstanding experience. Our waiter was Mike and we were blown away by his service! He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us honest and detailed recommendations for our meals! We loved his upbeat and personable attitude! We could tell he was busy handling many other tables, but he still made time to ensure he cared about us, that we had everything we needed and chat with us for a minute - instead of just running past with quick, "You good?" He even informed and helped us sign up for the rewards program - which we have never been asked about by any other server.. (And we visit this location multiple times a month, so we were shocked to learn what we were missing out on!) 5-stars for the restaurant, food, and management.. 10-stars for Michael!

    Very nice and family friendly, or couple dinner place. Affordable for good quality food. We went on a Saturday evening and the line was short. Nice server and attentive. We ordered the surf and turn and chicken and ribs plate. Good seasoning and the meats were nice and tender. Nice spot!
