My girlfriend and I came to Outback to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time! We got drinks and the bloomin onion and it was amazing! We always have to get it when we go to Outback. The server we had Josh was great even though we could tell he was busy with other tables, he still took great care of us. The steak came out perfectly cooked to medium rare and the bake potato was good. We will definitely be back soon and hope to have Josh as a server again.

After a long day's driving we landed here. The steak was expertly cooked. Blaze was our waiter, got everything exactly how we ordered it. The manager came by twice while we were eating, checking on our satisfaction. Kudos!

You know I'm not going to lie, I haven't been to outback in about 15 years, I totally thought it was a dying franchise and not many people eat it anymore, untill one day I met my family up there and boy was I wrong. The atmosphere was awesome it was a full house, and the Steak I got with Brussel sprouts was cooked to perfection, one of the best steaks iv had, and the blooming onion brought back memories. The service well our particular waitress, she kept forgetting things but I won't mention her name because it was a busy night so I understand, other than that this is definitely a place being added back on the list.

Awful experience overall 1. Bloomin’ onion was way too salty to eat. 100% worse than the one I had before. 2. The bread was supposed to be wonderful but was not hot enough. The butter was disgusting, and it did not fit the bread at all. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! 3. The steak.. we had classic prime rib and ribeye. They were good but had too much fat. 4. The mashed potato did not have any flavor, and the house salad was very normal. 5. The waitress we had was not professional enough.. she was nice but we ended up having 5 cups on our table just because she wanted to refill our drink.. The total price (+tips) was about $90, with this price in mind, this is not the experience we should have…

I wanna give a shoutout to our waitress this evening, Elissa! She provided amazing service making sure our drinks were always full and our food came out quickly! At the end of the diner, she sold us on an amazing brownie. 10/10. It’s hard to find great service, but she embodied it! I hope to see her the next time we come!

We came here for a late lunch / early dinner around 2:30 on 12/9. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. Our service was top-notch and the staff really did a wonderful job taking care of us. We started off with the warm bread and butter, which was nice and soft and tasty. I got the large house beer, and it was crisp and delicious, and paired really well with my meal. For our appetizer, we got the blooming shrimp, which were extremely flavorful and were absolutely addictive with the horseradish dipping sauce. So good! My French onion soup was nice and cheesy and had that deep rich umami flavor that you look for in a good broth. The Cesar salad was not really noteworthy, just a typical salad. My steak was cooked perfectly to order, the chicken was tender and juicy and full of flavor. My potato was scrumptious and the sautéed mushrooms were some of the best mushrooms I’ve ever had. If you like mushrooms, I highly recommend these. Then we finished our meal with the salted caramel cookie, which was mind-blowing. There was a perfect balance between sweet and salty, and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing it. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious meal, and we had a good time!
