I’ve been going to outback for years now and I’ve always had a great time. It’s a bit of a wait on busy days but it’s worth it for the food.

Kate our server was amazing. Very quick with everything. She was very friendly, always checked on us making sure we were good, very attentive. The manager, Richard, was also very good made sure we had our food made the right away and if it wasn’t he said it was not a problem to fix it. Appreciate the service they gave us, highly recommend Outback for your dinner dates or any occasions. They’re always so friendly and give the best service.

"I don’t know what kind of sorcery Marissa is working over at Outback Steakhouse, but she turned a casual dinner into a five-star experience! She recommended the best dishes like a food psychic (does she secretly live in the kitchen?), and somehow, every bite was better than the last. It was like she knew exactly what we needed before we even said it. Super attentive, super friendly, and honestly, the real reason we’re coming back! If you go, ask for Marissa—you’ll be in great hands. She’s basically the Outback steak whisperer!"

My first time and I am extremely disappointed with our experience here. We ordered sirloin steaks, chicken, and ribs. The steaks were ordered medium well and well done and they were both tough, dry, and lacked flavor. The chicken was so dry, however it had a good taste. We ordered an order of Brussels sprouts which were fine, but they were not worth 8 dollars. I would recommend Texas Road House 1000 times over this establishment. We ordered those 2 meals and we paid over 80$. I could not believe it. And we couldn’t even eat our food because it was so tough and dry. Please lower your prices or hire new and experienced cooks who can cook steaks at a STEAKHOUSE!!

Me and my friends had a fantastic experience at Outback! The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was outstanding, thanks to our server, Raquel, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. I was also impressed with how quickly we were seated, making the entire visit smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend the Visalia location for a great meal and excellent service!

First time dining at Outback Steakhouse in Packwood Creek Shopping Center, and it was fantastic! Our party of 18 was seated quickly, and the waiter was attentive. The manager also checked in to ensure we were well taken care of. Great service and a memorable experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update: Unfortunately, my initial impression has changed. Despite the promising start, we never received an order and struggled to get the waiter’s attention throughout the meal. She only returned to drop off the check, which made it seem like she was more interested in securing a tip from our large party. This experience was quite disappointing, and I don’t plan on returning. ⭐⭐⭐

Cassandra the manager was very nice and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. Vincent our server checked on our table multiple times. He had great customer service the entire meal. Our food was fresh and tasted really good. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is nice. I will be coming back.

A great start for date night. The staff are friendly and courteous. The chicken wings are tasty and the bartenders are amazing (all of them) This particular restaurant ensures you’re 100% satisfied. If your steak isn’t cooked to perfection, they’ll take it back and cook another. The service is as good as it comes. Plus there are 3 big screens by the bar if you wanted to glance over and check a score.
