Outback Steakhouse

A little background, my family and I had given up on outback about a year ago. But wanting a steak and not wanting to break the bank we decided to give it another try. Our waiter, Eddie gave us impeccable service, he was attentive and entertaining. Our food was also very good. Good job Outback!

My husband and I went to this Outback for dinner tonight, the wait was shorter than expected, which was great. Our waitress, Aubrey, was very nice and attentive. However, at some point one of the waiters managed to dump eight drinks down my back, which were mostly dark colored sodas (very cold and very sticky). The guy was very apologetic, which I appreciate, and I wasn’t angry at all because I know that accidents happen and I wasn’t going to take it out on him (Another waiter bumped into him which made him lose balance and spill them on me). He and the other waiter grabbed me towels to dry off with and immediately wiped off my seat and made sure I was okay. A few minutes later, the manager walked up with a smirk on his face and asked if I was okay and said, «I heard you got an unexpected shower, sorry about that. Let me know if you need anything.» And walked away. Obviously a young and inexperienced manager, he didn’t offer to comp anything, just laughed it off. He could have at least offered desert, but what got me is that they couldn’t even do a 10% discount because my husband is military! Of course, I hate to sound like that person, but if other places can offer 10% so easily when the visit is absolutely perfect, but when you get drinks dumped on your head you can’t even get that courtesy, something isn’t right. Get your shit together, Outback.

We ate at this location the other night and it was great. The restaurant was clean and the staff was organized and friendly. Our waitress was awesome! If you go to this location you have to sit at one of Linda’s tables. She is the best waitress I’ve had in a very long time. The food was delicious. Arrived at the table in a timely manner as we were on a time limit. Show tickets after dinner. It was a really nice dinner out and I appreciate the excellent service!

Came in with my family tonight got seated right away it was pretty dead in the restaurant. Waited for our server Anthony to come take our drink order and we probably waited about 6 min but as a server you have 90 seconds to greet your table after they have been seated. Eventually he came over and took our drink order and it took about another 6 min to get our drinks. When he came back he took our order when he left we could see him standing behind the bar talking and sipping on a redbull. Our food had been brought out but it wasn’t even by our server it was from a different guy which is fine. He seemed much friendlier and happy. I’m a server myself I usually tip 20% of the bill but not this time. He seemed a little careless. I’m only out here visiting so I don’t have to worry about returning to this location.

There steaks and ribs it’s hard to chewed and dried. The breads are cold and no butter served.

So many mixed reviews has me wondering if this is a… who is on staff tonight. kind of place. We had not been to Outback for probably 8 years. No real reason, we just hadn’t. Was actually heading to try out Lumberjacks on Craig road but either they were not open or we would have been the only people in the place so we u turned, passed Outback and my husband said lets go there. We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in, seated immediately and the waiter came right over, introduced himself, asked if we would like a drink or any appetizers. We said yes to both :) He recommended since there was only two of us we get the onion petals, which is a smaller version of the bloomin onion. It was the perfect size for us as we usually munch on most of the onion and then are full when dinner comes. My husband got the filet and lobster tail and he was quite happy with it. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the lobster was steamed just right. Veggies were soft but not overdone, the only thing is he wishes they would give a little more butter for the potato as when he got to the bottom it was pretty dry. Could have asked for more and sure he would have got more but was full enough by then it wasn’t that big of a deal. I got the shrimp toowoomba pasta and man was that great. I was always an Alice chicken kinda gal but think I may be switching to the toowoomba team. More shrimp than I was expecting, the pasta was cooked just right and it had the perfect amount of spice to it. It didn’t build up over time but each bite had a bite. Our table was cleared as each plate was moved to the side, I had to say no before he quit bringing me a new soda and my husbands coffee never emptied. We will definitely go back. We went tonight, Friday at approximately 4:30. I will update if we return on a different night and service and food is a lot different than we experienced tonight.

Awful. Waiter had the personality of a wet rag. Took forever to get our food. My filet was had a good flavor but was a little tough. My husband’s Steak was over done so we sent it back and it came back still over done. Both of our shrimp came out over done both times. My husband didn’t even end up eating and when the check originally came out there was no concession at all. I know it is not a high end steak house but come on.

My onion blossom was burnt and greasey. The walked around after the end of the horribly prepared meal and asked was everything alright with a smirk on its face. Never will I return to this place. Always a bad experience, only visited twice. The first time I used the restroom and there was not hot water. How in the hell are they sanitizing after using the restroom!!!
Forget eating here again, it’s not worth taking a chance on my health.

This place is okay. I went in to reserve a table and they made me wait when there were tables open. The food was average but a better option compared to TGIF for dinner. I ordered the steak and had the unlimited shrimp.

Went in for my birthday dinner and as usual had great service and food. Their 3-​course meal on wedn & sundays is a good value… great steak & baked potato. The key lime parfait is yummo as is the chocolate parfait. On top of that I received a free dessert for my birthday… a nice large slice if cheesecake with raspberry topping. So good! And came with a candle and a cute happy face «Happy Burfday» note on the to-​go biz. Great job, Outback!

Came in here yesterday for dinner around 4:30 and it wasn’t busy at all. Specifically asked for a booth away from other people because someone in our party of 3 had Autism. The girl at the front, very loudly might I add, says «WELL I DON’T KNOW WHAT AUTISM IS» and literally placed us in the booth directly behind the front desk, immediately next to another group of people. naturally we were also around lots of foot traffic, the bar, and we were only mere feet away from the greeters and the people waiting to be seated.
The entire time we were trying to enjoy our meal, but we couldn’t because my brother was so overstimulated by their loud cackling and talking at the front desk and he was uncomfortable having so many people walking by. We ended up leaving early and getting our food and dessert boxed up to-​go.
I never caught that girl’s name but I hope one day she’s embarrassed by her ignorance and wises up. It’s 2015. There’s no excuse to be completely ignorant about disabilities, especially ones that effect 1 in less than 70 American children born. if someone specifically requests you accommodate their disability, you damn well better do it and not question them (or in our case, ignore them completely).
The food WAS spectacular, all three of us got prime rib and lobster with caesar salads and then cheesecakes to-​go. Our waiter was a bit of a disaster. Nice guy, but it seemed too difficult for him to juggle one table and the empty bar. He never looked our way, as if he was hoping he’d never have to wander to our table if he never made eye contact to prompt it in the first place.
Our glasses piled up and cluttered the table and were never removed. Never brought more bread when he said he was going to get it. We had to ask another waitress to bring horseradish and refills, because for nearly ten minutes he was standing by an exit looking the other direction, or at the bar just facing the other way.
Time to clean house. Hire some smarter girls to work at the front. Ones who won’t piss off patrons the second they walk in the door. &Hire more assertive staff. No excuse to not pay attention to your tables when the house isn’t packed.

We ordered take-​out, that is definitely not the way to go. The order was really messed up. My husband ordered the Outback Special, medium well, it was pretty rare. Why can’t you eat your steak medium well if that is what you like. The condiments for the loaded baked potato were really scarce. Would have killed them to include a little more butter and cheese. The salad was by far the best item. I ordered the Victoria filet, haven’t tasted it yet. I was so disappointed when I saw that the potato soup was cold and there was less than a half a bowl. The condiments again for the sweet potato was disappointing, there is barely enough to taste it on the potato. Roll good as usual, but would it have hurt to include a little butter. One thing for sure we will never do take out again. What a waste of $ 50.00.

Overall the dinner was fair. The broccoli wasn’t cooked all the way through, the medallions were more medium when I asked for medium-​well and although the server didn’t have a horrible attitude, she made plain responses such as «ok» when my girlfriend said her salad was very soggy and sent it back.

The bread was cold and tasteless. The butter was cold and hard. Both of these things were supposed to be warm and soft.
The steak was pretty ok, but way too much garlic in the sauce.
The servers were quick about getting refills, but not so much on taking the glasses, which meant we had way too many glasses on the table.
Our server was very friendly and pleasant.
Overall, pretty ok. Nothing extraordinary.

I have been coming to this outback for years with my wife. Anniversaries, birthdays or any other excuse I can think of to come eat here. I always order the cheese fries to start and the Alice springs chicken. The quality of food has always been good and any time I have had even the littlest problem they have always made it right with us. No restaurant is going to be perfect all the time. I will continue to visit this outback for as long as they continue to deliver quality food and good customer service which I have experienced every time I have been here. I recommend an extra side of honey mustard for the chicken, don’t worry it’s free.

We went here for our Anniversary dinner. At first we went to the location at the Coke Bottle on the strip but holy moly, the price! Anyway, this location was super close to our movie at Galaxy Cannery so we picked it.
The server and the seating host were really nice. Our server was on the spot. Great service, handled our discount and coupon easy peasy. No hassle at all.
Food was yummy. We were really happy. We would absolutely go there again.

If you go here sit in the bar, Roxanne and Linda are amazing. These two lady’s have kept us coming back for several years now.
The steak is great and cooked to the known standards now. Outback used to use their own versions of well, medium etc.
The food is somewhat pricey but it’s a steakhouse so that is to be expected. The aussie cheese fries are best if you ask for layers cheese.
Restraint is clean and we’ll maintained.

There are a lot of negative reviews for this location. I personally didn’t expect anything above average eating here, but the experience was actually pleasant. Inside there was a lot of customers. We only waited maybe 2 minutes for a table which was nice considering how busy it was. Our server came over and took our drink order right away. She soon returned with our drinks and some of that delicious free bread. There’s something about that bread that’s just so good! Priced at $ 7.29 hubby and I shared a «Bloomin’ Onion» because it’s not a visit to Outback without getting one. The bloomin’ onion tasted great, I just hoped between the onion and bread that we had room for our meal!
I ordered a 6 ounce Filet priced at $ 20.49 after the addition of a blue cheese crown to the steak. I also for another $ 1 added a «Wedge Salad» to complete my meal. The wedge salad was awesome and almost a meal itself. The steak came with mashed potatoes that tasted alright, but might have been sitting on the plate for a bit because they weren’t very warm. It also came with «Baked Potato Soup» that was pretty good. The steak really surprised me. I didn’t expect much, but the steak was cooked to my liking, was tender and had good flavor. The blue cheese crown was too much. I little goes a long way in that department and while I usually like it on my steak, this time they could have scaled back and maybe even used actual chunks of cheese instead of a mixture.
I don’t know how often I’ll visit, but after this surprisingly good experience, I will not hesitate to rule out Outback Steakhouse in the future.

I had a great server Trent that was very attentive. The food was cooked to perfection. Even the manager Abby came by to check on everyone.
Thanks for the great service.

I honesty just come to Outback Steakhouse for their complementary bread! Who doesn’t love the bread?!
Usually coming here the service is on the slower side, but on my last visit we came close to closing time so they decided to pick up their speed. So I suggest to come at around that time. There was special going on for steak and lobster for $ 14.99. You had me at «$ 14.99».
It was a good portion of a steak, 6 oz sirloin. I’m really not a heavy eater so that fit me just fine. I got the sweet potato as my side. OH MY GOODNESS, that was so delicious. It comes out warm, With honey butter & brown sugar on top. Those 3 together– I can eat it all day!
