Went during a weekday at lunchtime and the place is quiet. Service is efficient and friendly enough. Blooming onion petals appetizer is really good. Ordered the bone-in ribeye and it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The steak is flavorful and very tender. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - Aussie Cheese Fries and The Bloomin‘ Burger with side of Baked Potato Soup was really heavy food. For the two of us, we were already getting full halfway through the appetizer. The fries were simple with melted cheese and bacon bits but was quite salty. We enjoyed the soup and the burger was quite hefty. The blooming onion petals was too much fried food for us after the fries but the other toppings were delicious. Service: 5/5 - super friendly service that was attentive and patient. She checked in on us when we looked up for eye contact but left us alone as we were eating. Ambiance: 4/5 - interior could use a touch up and the sun glaring through the doors wasn’t the most pleasant experience since it’s quite dark inside Value for price: 4/5 - fairly typical for an American chain restaurant but food did lean to the saltier side.

Service was kinda bleh, waiters here had attitude, and acted like it was a lot of work to remove stuff off the menu. The food wise… appetizers and the complimentary bread were the stars of the show. I feel that the pasta/steak were something that you could’ve made your own at buying in a grocery store and if not make it be flavorful. I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

Steak here is average. Nothing is really special. The dish looks boring. I’ve tried steaks at different restaurants. This one would be the least. The onion was quite good, at least it was stunning. Service was not really good. The waiter, when he served us sth, he seemed like throwing stuffs on the table & left quickly. It took us long time waiting for the bill.

I don't recommend this place. My husband and I ate here today. We ordered the bloomin' onion, sirloin & alice springs chicken, and the chocolate thunder from down under. The appetizer was too salty, the sirloin (cooked at medium) was chewy, and the chicken was dry. We enjoyed the complimentary bread, the side soup, baked potato, and dessert more than the actual dishes. It was like the food was just re-heated. It was a good thing the server was so nice, though.

Great experience at outback!! Thank you Danielle, Frances and Jesus!!! Our time at the bar counter was so fun and convenient. We were checked on often, and well taken care of. Will definitely return, great easy night out.

We were craving a blooming onion, as one does. Hadn’t had one in maybe 15 years. Blooming onion did not disappoint but forgot how greasy these things are. Needed a paper towel underneath. Steaks on the other hand… leave a lot to be desired. Prime rib was decent but sirloin / shrimp were 4/10. But hey, it’s Outback.
Frank Althoff
The food was delicious. We ordered a couple of things and everything was amazing, the meat as well as the fish. The waitress was super friendly, super attentive and a big help with choosing. The atmosphere was typically American, but due to the open entrance it was a little bit chilly inside. Overall it was one of the best restaurants we have been to so far in the state for a fair price.
