Ordered delivery! It was nice to get exactly what you ordered! Got my loaded, baked potato, loaded, mashed potato utensils, and my full rack of ribs! Even got my bread and butter! Ribs were good and everything else was delicious! I’ll definitely order again from this outback! Check out my pictures and video :-)

Came in for date night around 730p on a Saturday and were surprised to see no wait for a table. Server was friendly, and the manager was making rounds as well. The sirloin and lobster was flawless, my boyfriend's steak was also well cooked and seasoned, and didn't have to wait long at all. Cocktails were a bit strong but we didn't mind those... Ha! Overall we will definitely be back to this location!

Our group has been to so many outbacks and love the consistency of the food and service Sarah, she took it to a new level. She’s definitely a cut above in the area of customer service and personality that we’ve ever had at an outback. This type of service and personality simply can’t be trained. It’s within someone’s soul.

It was my first time being here at Outback in the US. I've been to Outbacks in South Korea a couple of times while I was there. Overall, the system is pretty similar. We had the course meal (starting from 14.99) and overall, it was good. Me and my wife had 6 os Sirloin and half rack rib for entree. We had to choose two sides each for the entree. Plus, we wanted to have coconut shrimp, so we added a lunch portion entree of six shrimps with one side. So we were pretty full having five sides and three entree. We definitely needed a togo box. We enjoyed the entire food except for the ribs. Frankly speaking, I felt like ribs were just pre-cooked and just heated rapidly, because I smelled and can tell that the meat was a bit old. However, all the rest of the foods were great. After finishing all the foods, we had two cheesecakes with rasberry and chocolate sauce on top. So overall, with these foods and quality, I think the price was good.

Happy Me

John was outstanding! My lunch date and I had the best time! We got the steak and Alice Springs chicken, the fried mushrooms, and a loaded baked potato and salad for sides. John checked on us, he was friendly and accommodating, and was great at pointing out some cool cocktails, also. My date and I had a blast playing the trivia game too! Everything was great and I'm looking forward to our next visit.

My family of four came in since we got gift cards for Christmas. Our server was Red, she was amazing. She was in the lounge section and was killing it. She was the bartender for the restaurant and our server. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, my mom thought hers was very cute. The food was great. I asked if I could get the blue cheese pecan salad as a meal with chicken and it was amazing. I didn’t get a picture of my mom’s food but the steaks were all great. And you can never go wrong with their Mac and cheese. If we weren’t so full we would have gotten dessert. It was a really nice lunch.

What a tiny "6 oz" steak.. bringing my scale next visit... I chose not to complain to staff about my steak. But did overhear the table behind me doing just that. I heard the server tell the customer that the kitchen staff insured them it was the proper size before cooking.

I’ll start by saying that the service was both quick and friendly, and there was not a wait at all. I ordered the perfectly grilled salmon which was somewhat underwhelming. The starter side salad was actually fairly decent. My guest has the Little Joey which was that that enjoyable and fairly dry. I have had better experiences at other Outback locations, so I am not sure what was amiss with this particular location.
