By now, the Outback Steakhouse restaurants should be generally familiar, or at least recognized as a well-established brand. So even if the Bloomin' Onion is not quite the novelty it once was, Outback has maintained high standards for its namesake offering: excellent steaks available in the customary cuts along with very good salads and sides. Their raspberry cheesecake was a huge hit as well. Although our party of two arrived for an early dinner (Saturday evening) there was a half-hour wait. However, we did find sufficient on-site parking. It was an all-around most enjoyable dining experience.

Our kids have been loving outback in Dallas and we expected the same situation here however the helpings were half the size and cost the same. Food came out cold and they staff wasn't too helpful about the situation. Really disappointed

Jaime was an awesome server. She was very attentive to our needs,always had a smile on her face. I wish that I was able to give her a better tip. Merry Christmas.

Outback Steakhouse exceeded my expectations! I ordered the Bloomin’ Fried Chicken, and it was absolutely delicious—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind. Pairing the meal with a cold beer made the experience even better. Whether you're craving great food, a relaxed vibe, or a cold drink, Outback delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!

Oh man. Such a good experience. It was our kids' first nice sit down experience and the waitress was so nice and attentive. The kids loved their steaks and fries. Everything was cooked to perfection and I was impressed with the quality of the food for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

I was at this location with my coworkers. The people who served us was great. The food was sub par. For the price, it was not appealing to the eye nor was it of good quality. My sweet potato even looked horrible. They threw an absurd amount of cinnamon on top. My lobster tail was dry and my fillet was under cooked. Outback has lost it’s culinary integrity. I will not ever go back to this franchise. The restaurant also needs a good cleaning. The smell of a nursing home lingers.

Happy Chef

From being greeted and seated the service was 5 star. Kendra is a great server. All the food runners were spot on. The kitchen staff prepared an amazing and fresh dish for me. Over 46 years in the industry and it's refreshing to see this level of service in todays climate. Thank you.

Had to send my wife's steak back ordered medium well after another 15 min wait the manager comes back and says cut into it while I'm here so we know it's good one slice down the middle and you can instantly see the bright red. The manager then says yep looks all good it's only red because the light over here. Most definitely would not recommend this location very dissatisfied
