I was very excited to try this chain as I had seen a lot of ads on social media. First of all as you can see the food looks very different from what is advertised. But the food was flavourful and good. Service and ambience was also good. Pasta was nice and thr prawns were very nice but the meat wasn't at the right temperature, maybe microwaved. Can be tried again for a second chance.

Last time about 6 weeks ago, came here with a friend. She always orders the salmon and enjoyed it. I ordered a 6oz sirloin last time. It wasn't tasty and the sweet potato was good. I ordered the Burger this time. It was so much better than the steak. The Burger came with a layer of the onion peels with that delicious sauce. So I ordered it on the side. That was a great idea and so I enjoyed the blooming onion experience first. Then I ate the burger. Would order that again and have the blooming onion on the side with sauce on the side again. The Server was very kind and right on top of things. She was also tending bar besides serving tables.

I have never got food so fastly cooked perfectly and hot within 5 min of putting our order in. This outback was clean. The staff was pleasant. Our waiter MJ was great with a big smile 😀. We will be back. Thank you for our meal. Merry Christmas n happy holidays.

We arrived at around 4:30 Sat, not too busy. Our server Isabel was very pleasant, and helped with a gift card I wanted to use. The food came out quickly, and was very good. My wife thought her shrimp was a little spicy for her liking, but my pasta dish with shrimp & chicken was great. We ended with a chocolate thunder dessert, enough for two. Nice quiet atmosphere. A+

We're always delighted with our meal at Outback. The service is consistently phenomenal. The steaks are always cooked perfectly. We feel that the prices are quite reasonable and the portions adequate. They have a full service bar, with a good assortment of tap beer at great prices.

My husband and I have been coming to Outback for years. The food is always great,the service very good, the drinks have very quirky names and they are delicious and all that "down under" vibe can be felt and seen throughout the place. Since they are essentially a steakhouse beef reigns supreme, but you can have your pick of chicken or seafood if that's your preference. Laid back atmosphere for every occasion and celebration. Love it!! ❤️👍🍹🥩💲💲

My husband and I ordered the prime rib sandwich an French onion soup, the sandwich should be called the grizzled fat sandwich horrible. The soup was so watery barely any favor and a disappointment. Made me remember why I stopped going to Outback. There is no hope for this place.

Hi, sorry for long post and keep in mind this is my opinion and experience, well my husband has been wanting to try Outback so we decided to finally go and we made it a family day, but in all honesty we were all a little disappointed with the food. I ordered the Talisman and it was ok not as hot as I would like, my husband ordered steak combo and was very disappointed, steak had too much fat, broccoli was too soft, my son's meals not what as expected, pictures on menu look so much better. All in all for the amount spent wouldn't go again. Now service was great, the gentleman who served us was excellent, I've attached the pictures of Talisman and Steak Combo.
