Went to Outback for 12.99 special. OMG the steak was so juicy and flavorful I could have just had that. It was so good the manager came over and I told her to please tell the cook how good it was. As always the salad and baked potatoes were great. We were so full we had our carrot cake to go that also came with the meal. The 12.99 is a good value on Wens day and Sunday.

This will be last time I go to outback. They said 15 minutes. It was 40. The food should've been hot right? Stone cold. I was there at 20 minutes.

I am an Outback fan. This specific locale is the GO-TO joint to eat, drink, and be merry when I'm in the West Coast Office or entertaining my beloved mother. Be advised: This location is VERY POPULAR with the Snow Bird crowd that doubles the area population this time of year. They prefer early-bird dining, so avoid the hours betwixt when the bingo hall empties, to right before Jeopardy! is over. ;-) Cutie servers, and very efficiently run operation for this part of the state. Good stuff, see you there, buy me a Foster's, mate! Cabeza OUT!

Made the mistake of going to longhorn steakhouse Tea machine was broken. Bread was rock hard. Great for hockey but not for eating. Salad had a pool of dressing at the bottom of the bowl. $27.99 porterhouse steak was as the thinnest steak I've ever received. Was about 3/4 of a dime thick. This is a new restaurant in the area and we won't be back. Outback we will be back soon.

Passing thru,on the way back from Tampa. I am so GLAD IT WAS TIME TO STOP AT OUTBACK! If YOU are in the this area. GIVE THEM A TRY. Jenna M.Took CARE OF US. Wanted To Have A Sidney Cosmo. Only Outback has it. Hope they Keep it. It is ADDICTING! I ordered the 6oz Outback Special, Medium. Was Cooked, perrrrfect! Asked Jenna for the Broccoli(Very Tender). A plain Baked Sweet Potato. Yes, I love it. Plain. Broccoli was Cooked to Order.(Countless of Places,will still make the Stems Rubbery and Tough). Coddles, to Who Ever Cooked this One. Service was A+. Couldn't help it. Ordered A second Sydney Cosmo. I was Not Driving. Usually have one. Thought, what the Heck. Will like to Be Back to That Specific Location. Corp. Keep an Eye On this One. Representing the Outback, VERY WELL. BIG PAT ON THE BACK TO JENNA M.

Got their waiter was pleasant took our order after the app was put in I changed my entree. The waiter was not pleased he did not offer me a menu to look at the selections of burgers they offer. He ordered the cheapest one they had (probably thought I had no money) any way we had to wait 45 minutes for a cheese burger and a bowl of soup.

I love an occasional Strawberry Pina Colada from Outback Steakhouse. Between my husband and myself, we share a Bloomin' Onion and then I usually will either order The Wedge salad or Victoria's Fillet. The atmosphere reminds me a little of a sports bar, but I prefer that to a stuffy environment! =D

Disappointing from a usual outback experience. Caesar salad had no dressing and one crouton. My sirloin steak was about 50% eatable without spitting out strand of gristle. Service was average.

I thought I was playing it safe with a salad because I know I do not like the other food, but the group insisted we go. Service was okay, the room was very dark, and the tables were slow close I felt like I was part of the table next to us, and my salad was brown.... So much for trying to play it safe.

We tired this establishment last night yet again due to my partner's instatance on giving it another chance. It was a mistake, We arrrived yesterday at 5 PM and the place was nearly empty. We were not greeted at the door, despite three staff members at the entrance station standing around. We ordered the steak salad and a rack of ribs. I refused to order steak based on my past experience. The bread was warm but tasteless and not fresh. The sterak salad was uninspired. I had hope to score a hit with the ribs but for 17.99 a rack, it was a waste of money. The ribs tasted liked they were out of the package from Wal Mart or Sam's club and had merely been reheated. The accompanying fries were passable but nothing inspired. My partner and I both agreed that the dinner was sub par and we would not return. The serivce was barely passable. The waitrerss did not refil our glasses at any time and when I remarked that I did not want to wrap my remaining portion as I did not like it, she ignored my remark; yet, when the check was presented, she remarked that she was happy we enjoyed our dinner. I'm not sure how the other Yelpers appreciate the service or food in this establishment. Nothing is fresh nor does the restaurant portray it to be. We left. No one said "Good Bye" or asked if we enjoyed our experience. Longhorn Steakhouse is next door and it is obvious that it is drawing away customers. We are local residents and will never return. We will also disuade friends from patronizing the business. We rarely provide one star ratings but this place deserves it. In addiiton, some of the photos seem to be from the menu and not actually from the restaurant. Please post pictures that were taken at the restaurant as the food and beverage is presented.

I knew I would eventually come back in, it just took a few years. I am happy to say I am no longer turned away 15 minutes before the restaurant closes. This store appears to have gone through a recent renovation as it is similar in appearance to the newer store. The Australian-themed tchotchke has been toned down quite a bit and has been replaced with a much more subtle means of stereotyping what Australia is to an American. I almost always order the same thing at Outback: Outback Special (medium rare) with broccoli and/or baked sweet potato. The consistency Outback displays across the board is just amazing, but every now and then I come across local changes that a store may have made to appease a majority of the clientele. This particular location breaks the mold in two ways: 1. They cook the meat more than the majority. 2. They use much less of Outback's seasoning. While disheartening the first time I found this out, I was able to rectify the situation by asking for normal or extra seasoning and also down grading from my usual medium rare to a rare - I like a warm red center.

Great food! We ate outside bc the line was long and we were starving! Luckily it was a PERFECT night for outside dining! The food was perfect! The waitress was just ok. The bill was $85.00 for 3 people plus we has fancy drinks (non alcohol) and two appetizers. I feel it was fair priced! Would definitely go there again! For a chain, they have great food! I did have the beat Seared Ahi for an appetizer.... I love it!!! Yummy!

We went here for lunch, as we both needed to return to work in a timely manner. We ordered the steak salad, which was ordered medium but came out medium well. It was still tasty and we were in a rush so we went with it. We also ordered the Outback steak medium rare. The bread was fresh enough but it did tà ke some time for the requested second loaf. When my the steak arrived, we cut into it to check if it was properly cooked....very rare, borderline raw. We were finally able to get the attention of our waitress who seemed to have been assigned too many tables to cover. She took one look at the steak and proclaimed it "rare". We asked for another one, properly cooked to medium rare. Again, we were in a time crunch due to work. Twenty minutes later, an unidentified man, who we presumed was the manager came back. As mentioned, the steak that been previously returned was cut into two pieces. Instead of providing a new steak, the old steak was delivered to the table. It was reheated to medium well. We had to get to work; it had been long enough already. The texture of the steak, having simply been reheated was leather like and dry. It's common knowledge that you cook a new steak since once one guts into the steak, particularly in half, all of the juices are gone. Cut steak should never be reheated. We mentioned to the manager (?) that we had been waiting 20 minutes for a new steak and that we had been given the same steak back, merely reheated. The manager (?) stated that he thought the order was 2 separate steaks! We were surprised when the bill reflected the cost of the steak, which was practically in inedible. First, never just reheat steak. When you physically observe, as a manager, the reheated steak is medium well and medium rare was ordered, that's a flag. The waitress didn't check on the second steak. We've been to many outbacks across the country. It seems like the chef, or rather cook, at this one doesn't know how to properly cook a steak. There's a Longhorn opening across the street, which will probably put this place out of business. We were disappointed by our meal and will never return.

I was visiting from Fort Lauderdale and I got the server Gabriella and she was amazing. The food was excellent. We did not have to wait very long. Gabriela offered us yesterday line bread and was very accommodating and nice and seemed very experienced. I was so impressed by her serving abilities that I told the manager on duty (who by the way also came up to our table and asked how everything was) that she was a great server. The manager informed me that this was only her second day. I got the grilled salmon and sweet potato along with a side house salad it was very delicious. I highly recommend going to this outback steakhouse and if you can get Gabriella.

The Wood-Fire Grilled New York Strip steak was absolutely juicy and cooked to perfection! Great taste from their seasoning! With that I ordered a Caesar salad and mixed veggies! Great taste in all. Always had a great selection of steak here. Somehow they know how to make it just right!
