Outback Steakhouse

Last meal I’ll ever have at an Outback. Service and food were just terrible. Stomach already starting to churn.

Will and Aaron were hoot. Well mannered and timely and Aaron has an awesome falceto voice… singin doing a good job and having fun at work.
Good food and good fun service that made us smile!

My wife and I both ordered the 6 oz. filet medium rare, which came out perfect. We also were going to order the sweet potato as our potato side, but my wife asked if it was mashed or like a baked potato. Our server, Josh, told us that it was served whole with skin on and cut open like a baked potato would come and it included brown sugar and honey butter. She said she would pass and get the garlic mashed instead. He asked what the reason was. She said she really didn’t want the skin and preferred mashed. Our server then said he would personally remove the skin and mash the sweet potato for her if she wanted to try it. That sounded awesome, so I had him do the same for me. And when it came out it WAS awesome. This server is a definite standout! He knows how to go above and beyond to have happy customers… and I made sure his tip reflected that! More restaurants need people like him!

Outback is a favorite of my friends and I and we’ve gone there quite a bit over the years. It’s rare that the steaks are not done properly and prices are fair. I only give it 3 stars because they screw up orders constantly. They have never failed to compensate us for the error but at least half my visits result in something missing or needing to be sent back.

I always want to give Outback another chance but am always disappointed. The Ahi Tuna app was very good but quickly went downhill from there. Tried the chicken Marsala because their steaks are always tough. Bad choice. It looked good on the menu but was basically gravy over boiled chicken. I want to like this place but they always fail me.

Haven’t been to Outback in years, and now won’t be going back ever again. The meal was horrible. Over after of our table had cold steaks and the sauce was missing on all of them. We were there for a birthday, and his steak came out well done (which is not how he ordered it). Looking like a hockey puck and cold.

Brought my mom here, a cancer survivor, for her 53^rd birthday! Kim, our waitress, (PHENOMENAL) helped us pick out something easy for my mom to swallow (esophageal cancer) but it was a bit more salty than her taste buds were used to. We then opted for grilled shrimp which was very tasty but still too seasoned. After the first order, Sunny, the manager came over on her own, Kim gave her heads up, and personally entered the shrimp order and brought it to our table. When THAT didn’t work for our mom, Kim came back over and personally brain stormed with us for our mom. We chose unseasoned salmon. We were ready to give up after the shrimp bc it was getting crazy but they weren’t ready to give up on us yet. They MADE MY MOM’S NIGHT!!! SHE LOVED THE SALMON!!! The food that didn’t work out, they took it off our bill. And told us we could take it home if we wanted. Kim, the ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL, Sunny, the ULTIMATE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERT. Seriously. All while treating my mom and us with the utmost dignity and patience. Trust your loved one’s special day in their hands!!! The rest of my family LOVED OUR FOOD!!!

Really nice building, great atmosphere. Responsive management

If I could have rated a zero I would have. Horrible tasteless chicken, small portions, I took my parents there for their anniversary and they each had steak which was small and looked disgusting. Spent 90 $ on three people, would have been better off at McDonald’s (yeah it was that bad)

The ONLY reason I gave them three stars is their seating arrangement. OKAY, PEOPLE I LIKE TO EAT! The booths were uncomfortable! Oh, stop your fat shaming! I hear it now! The food was pretty darn good. Their french onion soup was nummy. Their shrimp scampi was garlicly sizzlin’! The steak was done perfectly.
I don’t like to be seated like a sardine in a can! If I am wondering how the heck I am going to get out of the gallows the entire time I am eating, it isn’t entertaining.

This is my «go-​to» place when in LaCrosse for business. Service is always attentive and friendly; the beer is always cold. The food is good, though I will admit to ordering a limited selection: The chicken tortilla soup; the 10-​pc ahi tuna appetizer as my entrée; and one of the mini-​chocolate shakes for dessert. However, my associates always express satisfaction with their choices, too (usually steak).

We stopped here for dinner during a family vacation… hadn’t been to Outback in about 10 years. And we wont be gong back for at least another 10 years. We ordered an pitcher of margaritas and it came filled to the brim with ice and only yelded 2.75 margaritas. I asked the waitress about it and she said the pitcher is about 3 margaritas total… totally unsat. Our blooming onion was so salty and in a pool of grease we could barely eat it. My wife and i ordered soup, she had the potatoe which was unedible due to the saltiness of it. I had the chicken tortilla, which was fine. Kids had chicken tenders which again were ok. But all in all… please choose one of the two other local restaurants next door. The hotel told us not to go to Outback but i ignored they’re warning and thought a chain corperation would have better consistance in quality… avoid this Outback.

Every time I go to outback there are 1 – 3 things that go wrong. This past weekend was no exception. Waited 40 minutes for a table. Appetizer came with our meal and medium rare steak came barely seared practically raw. Our server apologized but took absolutely no corrective action. Think I will grill my own steak from now on.

I will give this 3 stars for okay service and okay food. Typical Outback food, not bad but not memorable. The host and hostess were not very talkative; hopefully in training. Took my server about 10 min to acknowledge me. The grilled salmon was good but not outstanding. The food came VERY fast. It’s almost as if they are rushing you out of the place! Okay, so I just found out my server was new, so good job for being so green!

I got the large sirloin steak and lobster, I specifically asked for a fatter steak, it came flat. It was cooked the way I wanted but thought it had too much grissel. Didn’t even eat my left over which is why I order the larger one.

Outback rocks! Super friendly staff and food that is incredible. Oh did I mention the prices are unbelievable. Compared to DC, you could have a dinner for 4 (maybe 5) for the price you pay for 2.
What’s better — if you’re not happy. They will make it right.
Cheers!

Had the avocado crab stack, coconut shrimp and the seared ahi tuna. Delicious, fantastic and perfect. Definitely come here during a lunch hour. Great specials on drinks and a quieter atmosphere. Also, on a hot summer day order any of the margaritas. The down under is pretty good as well as the captains Mai tai. Overall, great service, food and atmosphere.

Love the new wood roasted steaks, nicely done medium rare, mouth watering. Love the pecan salad & the carrot cake is delicious! Service is always excellent late at night, even when close to closing time.

First off, I will say that I usually really like my Outback experience. But after this last one, I’m hesitant to go back. I ordered the Victoria’s Filet and asked for it be cooked medium rare, which to me means that it is seared on the outside with a tiny bit of brown and pink and hot on the inside. The steak that I got was seared. The inside was completely pink and cold on the inside, it was sooo rare that I couldn’t even finish it. I ended up taking it home so that I could finish cooking it correctly myself. Usually something like this isn’t a huge deal for me, however, I paid a lot of money for that meal. How many times are the cooks asked to prepare a steak to medium rare? It seems like it would be a no-​brainer!

My steaks have been overseasoned too, little salty. Service is definitely mediocre, but it’s always real busy when we’re in there, so I kind of feel for the college kids on their first job.
