The Outback Steakhouse has been around for 35 years, and has grown into a nationwide chain. Although some chain restaurants may rest on their laurels over time, this doesn't appear to be the case with Outback. We arrived around 7 p.m. on a Friday evening, and were warmly greeted and escorted to our booth in the corner of the dining area. Our server, Christine, was a lovely woman and very conversational without going overboard. The Chicken on the Barbie was excellent, the breast tender and flavorful with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and a salad. Although the salad was adequate, with a tasty mustard vinaigrette, the remainder of the meal shined. The bone-in ribeye (served medium) was grilled to perfection and very delicious, served with a loaded baked potato and a French onion soup (which cost extra). The steak seasoning made the dish all the more scrumptious. Outback Steakhouse -- particularly the restaurant at the Arena Hub in Wilkes-Barre Township should not be looked over just because it's a chain. There's a reason why the business has been around for 3½ decades. The quality of the food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful, and deserves a visit.

It was a calm crisp day in Wilkes Barre, PA. The month was May, the year was 2020. The restrictions were just lifted, we were allowed to resume our Outback dining. We didn’t waste any time. That same day we came to our holy place, Outback Steakhouse. We were back, so back. We threw on or finest suits and shoes, freshly shined from the cobbler, ready to make our appearance in which we long waited for. Upon entering the restaurant we were instantly greeted by the friendliest, most dedicated staff to ever do it. We were seated in what I believe to be the most comfortable seats in the world. As we were eating our delicious, fluffy pumpernickel bread, the wonderful and talented manager, Ed was making his rounds to ensure that all his guests were enjoying their meals and of course this fine establishment. We were seated one booth away from another super fan of Outback, a fine gentleman who was telling the manager how excited he was that Outback dining was back. He spoke with such passion and enthusiasm that we had to join in. The crowd erupted and the entire restaurant began to chant “OUTBACK, OUTBACK, OUTBACK”. The wonderful and heroic manager, Ed could not contain himself. He too begin to chant and celebrate that his restaurant was back. To this day, 3 and a half years later it still gives me chills. I want to thank the Wilkes Barre Outback staff, customers and lovers of this establishment for one of the best days of my life. Nothing but class, hospitality and service from the greatest restaurant of all time. Thank you Outback Steakhouse for changing my life. Signing out.

I decided to go back to Outback even after my issues with the other out of state location. I love them overall. I always order Alice Springs Chicken, the flavor combo is delicious and, I love the homemade honey mustard. We ordered a burger, bloomin onion, chicken fingers, steak, and a Wallaby Darned. The food was delicious and quick. The service was excellent. Overall we were very happy with this Outback.

This is a very good Outback Steakhouse location! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. The food was hot and tasted wonderful. The service is great and the atmosphere is very calming and laid back. The drinks are so good too. We are definitely coming back here! Thank you all so much ! We started with the original blooming onion which is always good.

Steak cooked twice and still not cooked correctly. Requested medium well. Bread was hard and waiter was too busy chatting to notice issues.

Food was amazing. Love our lavender blueberry lemonade. I got a gift card from them for Mothers Day. Our server was amazing. The only thing was our appetizer came out just a few moments before the main course.

Foods are always good every time we eat here😋 i highly recommend Sydney shrooms for an appetizer so good

Delicious! I had a lunch-size sirloin steak and mashed potatoes. But, of course, we had to have the Bloomin’ Onion for starters! Since it was my parents’ anniversary, our friendly and helpful server Christine treated them with ice cream and hot fudge (and my wife and I just had to sample that, too!). As for the atmosphere, we had a quiet booth near the window, away from the bar and from the speakers. The music wasn’t loud at all.
