My immediate family do not visit Outback as much as we used to. As a matter of fact, before yesterday, I don’t remember the last time. We decided to go this time to celebrate my niece’s birthday. We had a party of 12. We get there and luckily my in laws already had us a seat waiting. So the wait time for us was nil. The waitress was very nice. She took our drink order and asked if we wanted an appetizer. We decided on a blooming onion. They bring it out and to me it looks over done. Like it was left in the fryer a little too long or the oil was too hot. But others didn’t seem to mind it. My son orders off the kids meal, chicken and fries. My wife orders the six ounce center cut sirloin cooked to medium. The chimichurri filet sounded good to me, so that’s what I got. Firstly, the kids meal. Hard to mess that up. My chimichurri sirloin, though the amount of steak compared to price seemed minimal, the taste was good. Now my wife’s center cut sirloin, there was so much fat and gristle, you couldn’t even get through it with a serrated knife. A manager happened to be walking by and asked if everything was ok. We showed him the steak, and he asked if he wanted him to take it away or replace it. Which was weird to me, because why would you pay for something you wouldn’t eat. So we asked to replace it please. It took so long, but the time it got back, my wife was already full from the bread or the blooming onion. It came out and she cut into and and behold, a huge glob of fat. Where do they get their steaks from? Out of the back of a guys truck in a Walmart parking lot? Now I know that places have bad nights and not everything is going to be great. But after send it back once, and you make it “right”, make it right. I can probably guarantee a return visit will not happen. But maybe your experience will different. This was mine.

Music was nice, waitress was pretty much the best part. Me and my sister split the steak chicken dinner which said $28 yet we got charged $40. My son got the rib sandwich and meat was weird, slimy and he didn’t eat :( but our nice friendly waitress saved the night. Check was over $200.

First time experience here and last .. upon entering the establishment, my significant other and I were seated right away for a Tuesday night. Drinks were brought promptly ..bread was brought out warm and I will say the bread was the best part of the food experience service however was slow with the establishment being half empty. The food took way too long to come out …I ordered a ribeye steak medium well with loaded mashed potatoes and the green beans however, the mashed potatoes tasted like they came out of a bag and the seasonal green beans and garlic had no flavor. The ribeye was super fatty and the consistency of the ribeyes were not the same …my boyfriend got the exact same thing however he got food poisoning shortly after consuming the steak ..the Bloomin onion tasted burnt so I’m sure the oil was never changed… Overall, disappointing experience.i would avoid coming to this establishment and head over to Texas roadhouse. I would give 0 stars if I could .

We had blooming onions and shrimp for appetizers. They were both Awesome. 👌 I had ribs and a loaded baked potato with a pecan salad....it was good...the ribs were falling off the bone! Everyone loved there food...they also had a drink special 4 little drinks for $20..they were different flavors of margaritas. They said the blackberry was good...I don't drink so I didn't get the deal...they were bigger than everyone expected. It was a good deal.

It was fantastic. The steak was delicious. The potato and broccoli were amazing. if you like drinks, get these cinnamon smoked old-fashioned it was really great. Food was fast service was nice and everything came out steaming hot. When you order a steak a certain temperature, it actually comes out that temperature

Went for dinner and had the blooming onion and prime rib sandwich with water and lemonade.the fries could’ve used less salt though. Had the cheesecake for dessert, could’ve been thawed because it was frozen quite much. I also had their signature bread which was delicious and went by the bar and had their signature bread strawberry kiwi Rita and rum punch which were both yummy! I will be back.

I saw the advertisement for the 14.99 and up special today so I came to have dinner. Upon being seated we were only given the regular menu. I asked about the special and one person told me I'll have to see if we have any specials that are printed up and ready. Then the waitress brought me the menu w the special on it. Held her finger to her mouth and hushed me stating this is our secret menu..... really? Can't make this stuff up.
