Service was good. Food was okay. They seem to have a dish washing issue at this restaurant. My wife and I had several pieces of dirty silverware. For dessert we ordered cheesecake with strawberry sauce. The sauce smelled and tasted like someone had put a whole lot of garlic in it. Garlic cheesecake. Yum. The manager adjusted the bill for the dessert and was apologetic. Overall not impressed. There are way too much competition around.

I can't say I've had anywhere near a bad or questionable experience. Steaks are, in my opinion, perfectly prepared and tasty. Their caesar salad is nice and spicy!

Have been here twice since I've been in town and it continues to excel. It's a little difficult to find but its well worth the challenge.

The only reason Outback isn't getting 4 stars is because of the lack of service on this trip. I usually enjoy a meal here every couple of months with my family. We happened to go on Easter Sunday at around 6 p.m. Besides my wife and 2 kids, there were only 4 or 5 other tables occupied. Plenty of servers were on that night so it wasn't as if the staff had other priorities. Once Shanna took our order, we didn't see her again. The food was great and cooked just right (wedge salad, outback special w/ lobster, kids ribs and mac and cheese). Someone else brought out our food, and Shanna came back when we had finished to ask how everything was and deliver our check. It took another 10 minutes to pick up my payment and return with a receipt. It looked like all the servers and bartenders were just chatting away and not paying much attention to their tables. The sever (didn't catch his name) was working the booth right next to us and seemed to be on the ball. Anyway, the food was consistent with other visits but the service wasn't. May be awhile before I return. Pros: excellent portions; everything tastes great Cons: apathetic servers this trip

When I come here, I always tend to get the coconut shrimp, as it has a wonderful flavor and helps me want their steak even more than I do on the way there! The natural cut bone-in Ribeye is their best steak, and it lives up to the hype.

Slow service, watered-down drinks, and sub-par food. Great effort on management staff to appease patrons after-the-fact. Money better spent elsewhere.

I came here on a Sunday evening with two coworkers--we were on a business trip and this restaurant was conveniently located next to our hotel. The food was fine--what you would expect from a massive chain like Outback. But the service was as unprofessional as I have seen. It was clearly overstaffed that night, as members of their team were moseying around the restaurant, singing, chatting with one another. The manager was wearing a thin, low-cut gray t-shirt that didn't leave much to the imagination. A man who came in after us got his food way before us, and when we did get our food, half the lettuce of my salad was hanging off the edges of the plate which then dragged on the counter when the waiter put it down. I would hate to see this place on a busy night...

3 of us were here for a business trip so we decided to go somewhere that we feel comfortable about. Boy were we wrong. My full slap of ribs were burned so bad that you couldn't taste any of it. My friends steak was well done when it was ordered as medium. We got one bread (cold) and server never asked if we want another one. I asked him if they accept outback reward program he didn't even know what I was talking about. He didn't even bother to go ask re Mgr. Mgr is wearing a pants with chain hanging from the back pocket. Yes that was the Mgr. Avoid a headache and go elsewhere.!!!!!

We came early. The food came out slowly. Our waitress left halfway through the meal and they had just opened for dinner so that was weird. At the end we gave our card and were brought back the wrong receipt ... Sat by the window dead flys on the windowsill.... I doubt we will be back.

Last time we ate here we decided was our last. Our food took almost an hour to come out and when it did it was horrible. Our steaks were over cooked and tough along with a lobster tail. Management adjusted our bill but regardless our experience was horrible.

Went for dinner tonight. First time at Outback. Steak was good and the hostess was excellent. Service was terrible which is strange because they were not very busy. Waitress spilled salad dressing from another table on my wife. Think we'd get a visit from a manager with an apology? Nope. Overall the steak is not worth the rest of the visit. We won't be back. Ever.

Date night with my daughter, she chose Outback. Service was decent for a busy Friday night. Our waitress took good care of us, refilling water glasses and getting our orders taken care of quickly. For the first time, I had a "Blooming Onion". After seeing them on television and hearing about them, I figured that we needed to try one. I was disappointed. I can't really blame Outback here. It was as advertised - a half of an onion that had been sliced so that it "bloomed" and then battered and then fried. What we got was a big greasy ball of fat that had little "onion" flavor. We ate a quarter of it and the only reason I kept going back was that I hoped that it would get better. It did not. Steaks arrived. Nothing special here. We both had the "Outback special," which is their signature sirloin with a side vegetable. Loaded baked potatoes for each of us, they were the highlight of the meal. I found the meat to be rather tasteless and a bit chewier than I preferred. It was... meh. About the only memorable thing was the "oil can" of Fosters beer. I can't really say that I'll be back.

It's a typical Outback- in terms of food. I sat at the bar and the service wasn't very good. Glass was empty. Had to wait a while for check and to pay.

The food was awesome, but you can definitely do better for you're money elsewhere. I would only go if you enjoy spending a small fortune for small portion sizes. Also the service is very slow.

The Outback never disaapoints, always consistent. And always a wait to get in so if you are quick. you can jump to a booth in the bar. I love the warm loaf of bread they bring out. The house salad is good, one of the few that uses diced cucumbers. Good ranch dressing. The cheese fries has to be the appetizer of choice. Some might swear by the blooming onion but its just too greasy. I haven't had a bad steak there I don't think. I usually get the filet. Small enough but always cooked medium and just right. the top shelf margartia is good but just not worth the price for what you get. I also enjoyed the blackberry martini. Yum

Steaks were good-outback is usually pretty consistent in that area. Service was good but not very genuine-more of a transaction than an interaction. The coconut shrimp were way over-breaded. Usually my favorite but didn't even eat them all.

Royal M.
So the word that comes to mind when I think of Outback is consistent. I've never been to an Outback that hasn't felt just like every other Outback, and that is actually a good thing. Can you find a better steakhouse? Yup, you can. But can you know what you're going to get no matter what, and no matter where? That, is much harder to do! Consistent food, consistent service, consistent vibe!

I have eaten at Outback Steakhouses all around the world and the meal I had tonight was the worst. My wife and I stopped in after doing some shopping, still early and no wait to be seated, still happy hour to be exact. The person that seated us asked for drink orders and I was going to have a large Foster's because it was part of the Happy Hour Special, my wife got her Walla Be Darned and I ended up with a small glass of flat something other than Fosters, tasted like a light beer of some sort. The waiter said "Sorry about that", but did not offer to bring me me the correct item. I finally asked him to take it away and bring me a glass of wine. They brought the usual loaf of bread, however, I had to ask our waiter for some bread plates. He said "Sorry about that" went and got two plates that were still dripping wet, when he noticed I was using my napkin to wipe them off, he said... wait for it... "Sorry about that", however, did add that "it was only water!". My wife had her usual Sirloin Steak and sides, however, trying to be more healthy I asked our waiter if the fish dishes were as good as the pictures looked (see Picture 1 in the photo gallery for example) he said "pretty close". I should have known then that that was not the way to go but hey Grilled Mahi, how hard can it be, with a few steamed vegetables on the side. I was ready for a good healthy meal. The fish was so over cooked when it was brought the to the table you could see heat rising from the fish, but not steam. It was so dry that when I took a bite it sucked the moisture out of my mouth... wow, never have I had fish this overcooked. When the waiter came by and asked the requisite "How is everything?" I told him the vegetables were great, however, the fish was way over done. He said "Sorry about that" and left. I was thinking surly he is going to get a manager or someone to authorize him to have my order remade... nope. A few minutes later he came by again and asked "How is everything?" and I responded veggies are great, fish is inedible. He said "Sorry about that". My wife finished her meal and I ate my veggies but left the whole piece of fish on my plate except for the 1 or 2 bites where I tried to find edible bits. The waiter came to clear the plates and said "are you finished" I said "yes" he said "I apologize for the meal not being to your liking, I really am sorry about that". No mention of a manager coming over or "would you like to speak to someone" and I know I should have asked... but I really wanted to see if the meal would be on my check. WOW!!! $16 worth of veggies. I did hear him mention to another table that this was his first week, but really if that is how they train their wait staff, to be so nonchalant, insensitive to what is going on around their tables and not have the initiative to try to make something right then it is a management issue from the top down. I know, blame me for getting fish at a steak place, but really, Aussies do know how to cook fish, and if they can't here then take it off the menu. Please train the wait staff to ensure good customer service and if they have to say "Sorry about that" then they should take an action to fix the problem.

I had an excellent meal with excellent service tonight. My server Ben was knowledgeable on the menu, made some good recommendations, and provided great service. Food was served promptly and exactly as ordered. My steak and lobster combo was delicious. steak was prepared rare as ordered and my server Ben's recommendation to get the lobster tail grilled instead of steamed was spot on. Lobster was perfectly cooked and moist and juicy. served with REAL melted butter, not the fake stuff. i asked for a side of creamy horseradish and it came on the plate with the steak. the wedge salad was perfectly prepared and fresh. the grilled asparagus that I chose with the steak was very good. The place was spotless and i observed one of the waitstaff wiping down the inside of the hanging light fixtures over the table. i have not been to an outback within the last few years and did so tonight as it is next to the Hyatt where I stayed. i read the previous reviews and was very wary based on them. hotel told me they have a new manager and it shows! I was extremely pleased with my experience and recommend this Outback.

Hate to admit it, but this was our first time to eat dinner at this Outback. My girls had their Mac & cheese and loved it. The server really fretted over them and they loved it. I had the special which was the filet and crab legs. The steak was so tender you really didn't need a knife to cut it. My dad was with is and he was telling us they often call ahead and pick up dinner on the way home.

Great service, they really worked as a team to make sure we had a great dining experience. We shared the grilled ribeye, after splitting the Ahi tuna and the coconut shrimp. Ok we had too much, but it was just a great place to be on a Friday night. We will go back.
