Outback Steakhouse

I give outback food as a whole 5 stars but this outback in Davie Florida I only gave a star for the sake of the review. Please note that the staff and proprietor are all very nice and attentive.
1-​We waited over an hour when were told 45 mins or less.
2-​We asked for LAYERED cheese fries and they were not.
3-​My baked potato soup had no potato pieces in it and tasted like it wasn’t done being made. Nothing like the Miami Lakes one. Not sure if they are pre made and then heated but something was off with that batch.
4-​My steak was rare when I asked for Medium (pink) not mooing.
5-​LIVE ROACH CRAWLED OUT OF MY SALAD… I wasn’t going to even mention this bc they did handle it but the rest of the dinner to follow was just awful. I had such a bad night when I needed a moment away from the day I had had.
As I said the staff was great and attentive but this place needs to stop for a second and go back to basics. I waited two weeks to post this to make sure I said nothing out of anger… I won’t be coming back for sure but I hope they take care of this soon…

Great Service… Great food!!! Love the prime rib, wedge salad and broccoli!!! We come to this location a few times a month and the food is consistently good. We’ve never had a bad experience. And with «call ahead» or «click through» seating during busy periods, we seldom have to wait longer than 10 – 15 minutes to get seated. Highly recommended!!!

My fiancé & I ate here today because he received a 25 $ gift card as a Christmas gift. 15 years ago I loved Outback Steakhouse, but sadly like most big chains its gone down hill. We ordered water and aussie fries as an appetizer. Waters took 10 minutes and the fries like 25 minutes (it was not busy either). The fries were only warm with bacon that looked raw instead of crispy. I got the blooming onion burger it was meh and my fiancé got the Alice springs chicken which was also meh. We both got the garlic mashed potatoes as sides and they were a weird gray color that was off putting to eat. All in all the atmosphere was depressing with others tables complaining and the waitstaff looking just miserable in general. They should serve Xanax here to improve your dining experience.

Please pick another place to eat. Arrived at 9:00 was told by hostess it would be 5 mins. After 15 minutes told hostess that it was unacceptable to have 7 tables not bussed. After another few minutes decided to leave again mentioned it was unacceptable to have people wait for a table. I wasn’t the only one. It was already 9:25 place was closing in 40 minutes!

After my sub-​par experience at Outback I received a prompt and sincere apology from Andrew. This was totally unexpected from such a large chain restaurant. Not only did they express their disappointment in my dining experience they offered a complimentary appetizer during my next visit. Other companies could learn from the way this was handled. Thank you, Outback.

Do not. Do not. Do not… Order take out. They can never get it right. The experience is way better when you dine it.

This place is a HUGE disappointment for anyone that doesn’t eat meat. They fry everything in beef tallow (beef fat). So even if I wanted french fries or a bloomin’ onion, I’m screwed. The only vegetarian entrée on the menu is a pasta dish with steamed veggies. The pasta is usually all stuck together with barely any sauce and the veggies are almost raw. I understand that they’re a steakhouse, but I live with meat-​eaters and they occasionally want a steak and bloomin’ onion. All I ask is that you add a couple more vegetarian options to your menu (maybe a veggie burger) and please do everyone’s heart a favor and switch to vegetable oil. I’d like to enjoy a bloomin’ onion with my family. Plus I’m sure vegetable oil is a healthier option than beef fat.

We’ve been here a few times in the past and I’ve always had these emails. I order the Toowoomba shrimp and my girlfriend got the Alice Springs chicken.
It was my first time trying this, shrimp and it was very good. A medium cream sauce with a little bit of heat and plenty of baby shrimp throughout the dish.
My girlfriend has got the Alice Springs chicken she is ordered it many times in the past… But this time it was slightly undercooked. The manager Jack made no hesitation to make things right and within minutes we had another Alice Springs chicken broth of the table cooked to perfection.
If it wasn’t for the undercooked chicken initially we probably would have given 5 stars. We will definitely be back!

What happened to Outback Steakhouse? Went last night. Service was poor, including the manager who made an unsolicited visit to our table. The food was horrible. Very disappointing. Doubt I will ever go back.

Our family has been to this restaurant quite a bit. Needless to say, tonight maybe our last. Our appetizer was undercooked and so was my daughter’s steak. Our side dishes we not what we ordered either.

I ordered the ribeye with broccoli and asparagus. The steak was fine but the asparagus was chewy. My wife ordered a burger and fries. The fries were cold and looked like they were made hours earlier. The burger wasn’t as good as a McDonald’s burger. Really disappointed in the food. I was really looking forward to a nice dinner but that’s not happening now.

One of my favorite spots. Our server was awesome. The survey came right away with that free hot bread and butter yummy. I had a 14 ounce New York strip with mac and cheese and some mixed vegetables. The New York Strip was a perfect medium rare and the mac and cheese one of my favorites mac and cheese sprinkled with parmesan cheese yummy you gotta have a little vegetables you have to have a vegetables lol and it was delicious as well. And one more thing I’ll tall glasses Stella and I was good to go. One of my favorite local spots

We have enjoyed many meals at this restaurant. We used to frequent the one on Pine Island and Sunrise.
Tonight our server was Michael B. and he was very cordial. We sat in a booth in the bar area as honestly I’m over dealing with kids now. Too many babies and toddlers are frequenting places I honestly never took our’s to until they were bigger. Let that resonate for a moment, do you like a screaming baby right behind you really? My point exactly.
We began with wonderful wine and beer. Warm bread with whipped butter, delish. My order was the 16oz Prime Rib, medium with a dressed baked potato and Caesar salad. Hubby ordered the Pork Tenderloin it came with garlic mashed potatoes and a house salad lovely with honey mustard. Salads are so good! We did not feel like appetizers tonight and I’m glad after all I had. :-))
Here comes our main courses! My prime rib, I test cut and I mean I had to push hard on that steak knife to get into that steak. Oh my! I flip it over and try again and got a piece off, eating bite. I was so disappointed it was like shoe leather and had no flavor. Hubby’s Pork Tenderloin was juicy and succulent! So our server asks me what I would like to do? I said please just give me a Victoria’s Filet medium. The Mgr, Eric brings my meal and waits for me to cut my steak and taste it. Perfect! Yes now it’s melt in my mouth steak. Eric said he was going to the kitchen and let them know about my experience and be sure the rest of the prime rib roasts are ok. Eric also comes by a bit later and tells us he picked up our cocktails for us. We thanked him for his courtesy. Hubby decided to order the dessert trio to go. This consists of carrot cake, cheesecake and chocolate thunder from down under. Each are the individual size portions; perfect! The full size dessert is still available.
All in all it was a nice evening with my husband and we will be back soon. At least until this new Outback is open by Nova University!

Came in today for dinner and was actually lucky enough to find a parking spot because this place never has parking because of its location. We waiting to be seated maybe 5 minutes we were seated and greeted by our waitress she took our drink order. We asked what the specials were and she said there were none, my hubby said they had some specials and she just pointed to our menu. I decided to look at my past emails and sure enough there was the email showing the specials started today for fathers day weekend so i showed her the email and she went ahead and took our order based on the information on my phone. We sat here maybe for 15 min and she never brought our bread so we had to politely ask for bread and she brought us some. I had the tortilla soup which is a bit spicy but delicious, I’m super sensitive to anything spicy but i ate it anyway. We are currently waiting on our food and its been 35 min since we ordered but in all fairness it was packed! Our food was very good the only hiccup we had was they forgot my sons mac and cheese and i advised the waitress and she brought it out for us. We ate out food and had our desserts because our meals came with an app and dessert, the cool thing they did for fathers day weekend was they offered on the dessert the option of a fosters lager in a red solo party cup! So for those dads that dont have a sweet tooth like my hubby he drank his dessert in the form of a beer and received the cup as a gift. We walked out with our belly full and our wallet happy.

My husband and I ate there last night and the food was on point! Pace was great and our server Sergio did a great job. We felt like we were his first priority. I ordered the new flat iron steak and the steakhouse Mac and cheese and let me tell you it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The manager even stopped by. By the end of our meal we felt like we were part of the outback family. We will definitely be back!

For a few months already they’ve been falling off course and it’s a real shame. This used to be my go-​to steakhouse, it’s right off I-​75 and less than a minute off the main road but they seriously need to get their act together.
We arrived Sunday afternoon around 1pm, half of the restaurant was closed off and waited roughly 10 mins for our group of 6 to be sat down. The waiter quickly asked us for our drink orders but since we used to go there all the time we placed our orders right away.
20 mins pass and they bring out the appetizer, once we finished the appetizer the waiter cleaned up the table… THAT was where everything started to go down hill. Roughly 30 plus mins after placing our orders he tells us that the steak my brother ordered wasn’t available. (Something the kitchen should’ve let the whole staff know)
My brother picks something else, a little pricier than he was willing to pay but the manager stopped by and gave us the appetizer on the house. Another 30 – 40 mins pass by and we still didn’t have our food so I asked the waiter what the delay was, 10 mins later all the plates come out. My steak and my father’s steak is well done rock hard unlike the Medium that we ordered, my mom’s veggies uncooked, we complain.
The waiter takes back our plates and after another 15 – 20 mins we finally get our meals. They take both my father’s and mine off the check and the appetizer… If it weren’t for that this would’ve been one of my worst dining experiences. A steakhouse that doesn’t cook steak properly?! Get out of town!
Clearly the kitchen and management need better training, we spent over an hour and a half waiting for 4 plates. Missed our appointments that we had scheduled at 3pm at another establishment too (nephews first haircut)

I haven’t been to an Outback in quite some time and now I remember why.
I ordered the ribeye and it was skinny, lacked taste and was a bit rubbery. I was there with my mother and she had a NY Strip and got sick later that evening Not full on food poisoning, but she felt awful.
Honestly, I would not call what I was given a ribeye… it was awful and unappetizing. Chilis has a better steak than Outback «SteakHouse» for sure… to the point you should be embarrassed. I would never eat here again or another Outback chain… I assume it’s the quality of meat they order from lower end food suppliers and they cover up the lack of taste with their seasoning.
Vomit.

Service was incredible, John made sure we were taken care of, extremely professional and on point with refills and food was brought out in record time.
Environment was excellent. Love the fact that though this is a steak house, there are no ketchup, or A1 bottles on the table. When you ask, it’s brought out in a small ramican.
Décor is great, casual, modern and fun.
Food was unbelievably excellent. Perfectly seasoned. And fresh produce. From the broccoli to the strawberry on top of the desert. Phenomenal service, excellent work.

love love love this place! It’s is my go to when ever I’m carving steak (which is often). The prices are affordable and the food and always cooked the way YOU like it. I order the 9oz Outback Special medium rare and they are one of the few restaurants that actually know what that is.
The bathrooms and over all restaurant is very clean, dim lighting and call ahead seating. They just opened for lunch now only Saturday and Sundays starting at 11am it’s awesome!

I like this place. I think the have reasonable prices and good steaks. I very much enjoy the blue cheese staleak salad. The reason for the 3 star rating is that they have decided to give you smaller portions. We went to enjoy a small salad and bake potato soup. When we recieved our salads, they were half the size they used to be. Tiny! Our waiter was kind enough to be a bit more generous but really? It’s lettuce! About 20 minutes after ordering, they informed us they were out of soup. :(We changed our order to a couple of appetizers and was extremely pleased with the seared tuna. Delish!
All in all it is a good place to dine but I recommend eating at the bar because there is always quite a wait.
