    I sat at the Bar and it took a while to Order my food. We ordered a Blooming onion and it was great, I Also ordered a Salad and a Steak, My 1st Steak was Obviously Over Cooked and This, I requested another and it was great, Then I finally got my Salad. I asked the Manager do you know what Order that the Food is supposed to come out? He said yes and I said then why did I get my Salad Last? He said he didn't know... Alrighty then... I really don't recommend this place. And that coming from me, I'm in the Top 10 Percent Reviewers of Restaurants in USA. Over 17 Million Views. You can hardly see the sign Cuz the Trees are Blocking it... Good Luck 🤞

    My wife and I had dinner here on Saturday. The service was the best I've seen in quite some time. Our server was Grant and he moved as if he was on roller skates. He was very attentive. We both ordered the Caramel Mustard Glazed Pork Chops and they were excellent. Every staff member we encountered thanked us for our business. The management clearly wants that message out there and it works. We were very pleased with our experience and will be returning soon.

    This is one of my dogs favorite restaurants and having my dog be able to sit with me outside will always be why we go to Outback. The blooming onion was burnt and unedible.

    It was super awesome. The service was extremely friendly and the food, including the appetizers, was out in minutes. Not only that, but the food was out of this world. I would highly recommend this Outback to anyone who is wanting to have a superb meal, while having a great time in the process.

    First time at this location. We sat at the bar like we usually do at restaurants and Tom was our bartender and he was awesome. It was approximately 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon and the place was not crowded at all . My husband got the prime rib sandwich and enjoyed it very much and I got the steak salad. The steak was very tasty but I guess with inflation you only receive a few strips of it. That's why I would like to request that those few strips be Choice pieces and sadly mine was not. My very first bite was nothing but gristle and unfortunately I had that through quite a few of the bites. All in all though the salad was fantastic, the dressing was a blue cheese vinaigrette with blue cheese crumbles and the salad was really something I would get again I would just like to hope I get better steak. I got it medium rare and the seasoning was really good. The overall experience was five stars and if we are up this way again we would not hesitate to go back.

    Service was great food was good although my seasonal veggies were a little soggy. The blooming chicken was delicious. As was the lobster. The waiting area was a little dirty but I don't see anything in the restaurant area. They haven't been paying attention to details. See my picture of the waiting area.

    Best service! Great food! And the BlackBerry margarita is the bomb!

    Restaurant did not have ice for drinks. The waitress said their machine was broken. Nevertheless, my cup sat empty for over 10 minutes.

    Amazing experience every time I eat here! The staff are lovely and make the experience wonderful. The atmosphere is great and just adds to the excellent food. Every option is is great!

    The blooming onion we had had onion peels that nearly choked my husband. The baked potatoes were burnt, and hard. I ordered a sirloin medium, but received it rare and cool. I didn't send it back because that's just asking for someone to spit in your food. Definitely subpar food this evening.

    Had the best lunch here! Burgers 🍔 were cooked perfectly and our baked potatoes were also hot and delicious! My wife and I split a slice of carrot cake and it was the best! Service by the bartender was great too! I'm so glad we stopped by for lunch!

    Justin is great! Super cozy and inviting restaurant. Alice Springs Chicken always is a win! Salads are so fresh and yummy.

    On February 17, me and my husband decided to have dinner here, it’s a restaurant franchise we use quite a lot everytime we are on holiday! We were seated promptly and had our server meeting us at the table right after, she brought our drinks and the bread soon followed, I ordered ribeye steak medium rare like I always do at any Outback I go to, and my husband ordered a New York Strip steak medium, we start eating the steaks and I started noticing how spicy and bloody it was, I was making an effort to just wait for the next bite, maybe it wasn’t as awful! I got to the point where I couldn’t even eat it anymore because it was so spicy. I looked at my husbands steak and saw pure red on it, I was flabbergasted… how could a medium steak look so rare, it’s supposed to look pink! The waitress came and said “oh I assume we getting takeaway boxes today “ I told her no because the steak was way to spicy and it looked rare and that I couldn’t eat like that, I also told her that’s the first time I’ve seen a ribeye steak from outback looking and tasting like that, she replied with “ next time I need to let them know I don’t need so much spice” , I don’t think she was listening when I said it’s the first time I get served a rare steak full of spice from outback franchise! PS:I worked for 5 star hotels in London, was a restaurant waitress for quite sometime so I know what every steak is supposed to look like (I leave this note here because I don’t her to assume I’m dumb and I don’t know what a medium rare looks like) Overall the place is great and people are friendly but they are not quick to find a solution!

    Brandi greeted at the door with a smile and everything after that was the usual here..... Good food, good service, consistency that is why I keep coming back. Face it these days a lot of places aren't what they used to be, this outback has been good for a long time.

    John, our waiter and Sydney, our hostess, are AMAZING! They were professional, courteous, and amazing. Sydney was engaging and is deserving of high accolades as her customer service is impeccable!

    Was a great experience from start to finish. Was seated in corner booth in bar - perfect location. Alyssa was a great server and provided everything we needed to make the birthday celebration a memorable experience. She is truly awesome and we will definitely asked to be seated in her section on future visits.

    We celebrated paying our house off today at Outback. Alyssa and staff were so nice and accommodating - congratulating us!!!! A special piece of cheesecake!! Thank you Outback!!! Best day ever.

    This outback doesn't care out there customers. First they didn't put no unstenil in our bag. Then when I started eating my salad a lot the lettuces was old! I don't usually eat out but my man and I was out of town. This place need to do better

    What you typically expect from Outback. Food was good. Team seemed disorganized with who was providing service and kept offering items we ordered even after we received the order.

  • 5/5 Tami S. 1 year ago on Google
    The blooming onion is always great with 2 sauces to dip the fried pedals in. We shared the filet and lobster, included side salad, everything baked potato and warm bread. Tender, moist and delicious. Very good serve.

    Had lunch yesterday; very busy rush hour. Our server Laura B. was without a doubt, one of the best servers we have ever had - all business, professional, fast and dedicated to doing a good job despite the kitchen back-up. We'll go back as their food is always good and hope she will be our server next time also!

  • 4/5 Gola C. 1 year ago on Google
    Bacon cheese fries were good as always. Steak was great, but the pasta dish was lacking authentic flavor. The sauce was like they just poured it from a can. Wasn't bad it just can be improved. Overall the food was good and we'll be back in the future

  • 5/5 Nick C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was excellent, and service was great! CJ was my bar tender and made the best Old Fashioned I've possibly ever had! That man needs a raise! Thanks will definalty be back!

  • 2/5 Chuck & P. 1 year ago on Google
    We celebrated our anniversary as custom at Outback. Totally understand the short staffing and we were in no rush. BUT, that doesn't excuse the waiter from checking if we need more to drink (it's chargeable alcohol), or some more bread, or are you interested in a dessert, or I forgot to put in your sautéed mushrooms order and then bringing it when almost done eating and still charge us full price. While this was one bad experience after many great experiences, it just shows how attention to the little things can make for a pleasant dinner.

  • 1/5 Ashton Ray M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was dog awful. Our waiter (an older gentleman) was hard to get a hold of and made unnecessary comments about us not eating our food/us being “thirsty”. We didn’t receive any bread, which is fine, but also we didn’t get another refill after our first one because he practically never came back until we called for him. It took a longer than normal amount of time to receive our food, but was sort of expected because I got chicken. I normally wouldn’t leave a review about bad service and chock it up to a rough day, but I was experiencing a medical emergency.

    My mother and some friends of mine and I went to Outback today for an early supper and I'm glad we did! The food was delicious, everything was hot and fresh, drinks were plentiful and never ran out and the service was 5 stars. The last several times we have been we have had similar experiences but today was over the top. This was due to our server Grant who was amazing. He was friendly and professional and fast! One of the things I thought that was so thoughtful was him putting the lids on our sauce cups that we were taking home. I noticed that but didn't say anything to my group but have to mention that it was classy. It was just one of those extra little touches that he did that was greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work Grant and be proud of the service that you provide!

    We went to outback for a spur of the moment dinner . We were seated in Monica’s section I only mention her name because of the fantastic service we received. The food was great and prepared very well . Our entire dining experience was top notch thanks to Monica . No matter the wait time from here on out I will wait for her section to open up . Thank you for the great service and thank you to the manager who was very nice and also complimented the staff as well …

  • 5/5 Sydney S. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb service from start to finish. Every single staff member encountered was friendly and patient. Food was cooked well, and served with accuracy/professionalism. Jesse provided quality advisement on food ordering, and steak cutting we’d never heard. A lovely experience.
