Outback is what I call a "staple" restaurant. Somewhere that's easily a "go to" spot when you don't want to go to far from home. Having eaten here for years, my "go to" meal is the Alice Springs Chicken, no mushrooms, no Honey Mustard with a side of Ranch. Can't go wrong here! Tonight I tried one of their new martinis (see photo) and loved it. Not too sweet, not too tart. Had to force myself not to have 2!

My birthday night out with family. Party of 8. Got right in. Quick attentive service. Friendly service. As usual, rib eye was incredibly tender and juicy. Cooked just the way I like it. Place is clean. People are hustling. Will come back time and time again.

Weekend work lunch is a bit tricky around here since a lot of places are either closed or they open a little later and as a creature of habit, I have to eat lunch at 11AM. I don't particularly want to have to spend too much time being out but I also want to give myself a break from work and prefer to go out on Saturdays. This has become our usual go-to place along with a couple others. Every 3 weekends or so, we end up here. The service has always been consistently fine, some better than others but we have never had a horrible experience. We used to always get the same waiter who took his sweet time with taking orders, bringing drinks, serving the meal itself, and even dropping off the check seems to always be a struggle. I haven't seen this person recently and the past few times, we've been able to get slightly faster service which is great! I usually get random things from here. I'm a bit partial to their pork chop though and I usually end up getting that. I've also tried their taco forkless varieties. They tasted fine and all their servings are plentiful. I generally don't finish my lunch and end up taking some home. I've also been here during dinners and have tried their steaks. I liked them, they were tasty as far as I can remember and cooked to my liking. Overall, this place offers a good variety of choices and service has always been pretty good.

I remember our server being a stiff and unfriendly guy. Perfunctory. The food was HIGHLY over-seasoned. Like just a CRAZY amount of salt was on ALL of the food. It literally tasted unsafe to eat. As in, I was thinking, "I can eat this food, but then I might have that stroke that I've been trying to avoid." I was hungry, but the notion of staying out of a sodium induced coma won over my hunger. Even the kids thought the food was too salty. And these are kids that will suck the salt off of nuts and spit out the nuts, or pour just plain salt in the palm of their hand and lick it up. One of my kids is pouring salt on to some salty pasta at our kitchen table right now. So if these kids say it was too salty, you're got some hazardously salty vittles my friend. Other than that, I've got no complaints.

Had better service when I was here with my folks in January 2015 and it was more busy. I know it's not the waitress fault, but when you serve something you need to make sure it's correct. Ordered lobster and shrimp bites a manager apoligizing for mistakes at 2 other tables near us, but didn't make way to our table. No wonder this place is empty. Will not be coming back here. Thanks ruining my Motnd only got shrimp and wasn't all the way cooked. No refills on water offered or giforven. Took long time to get our food. Overheadher's day celebration with my father.

My Mom asked to go to Outback. I said ok it's normally pretty good. This time the restaurant was mostly empty yet they sat two large groups next to us. I mean right next to us. They actually had put up the "wings" on a table next to ours so they could seat 5, but they didn't move the table away from ours, so when the guests sat down the mans chair was touching the corner of our table. I know it wasn't his fault but the could have moved that table just a bit!! it really was like he was at our table.. the group behind me ( opposite the man at our table ) was a booth so I could not move back.. There were a bunch of empty tables in the restaurant I don't know why they had to jam them in so near. I complained to the wait staff and was offered I different table. I declined our food was at our table. They did slide our table over but the whole dining experience was bad. Our waitress was great and the food was ok. I had the 12 oz ribeye it was a bit tough. My Mom had the Salmon and said it was fine.

Good service with good outback food. We eat here like once a week. Almost always friendly service and have always fixed mess ups. Not usually too busy when we have gone, so wait times have seemed short. I have eaten here a dozen times or more.

The staff here is wonderful! I must give a shout out to both Ariana, the manager, and Calvin, the waiter who served our table. Several nights ago, my boyfriend's sister, her 4-year-old son and myself decided to stop by here because it is fairly close to our home. As anyone in St. Louis knows right now, the cold weather is a BIT extreme. Unfortunately, this location's furnace had decided to take an untimely break and stopped working - so the restaurant was definitely a little chilly. When we stepped inside, the greeting staff immediately informed us that the heat was out and that it was being worked on, but they weren't sure when it would be fixed. Our first inclination was to find somewhere else, considering the weather, but after mentioning to the staff that we were mainly concerned about the child being too cold, they immediately worked on finding us a space heater and setting us up in a portion of the restaurant away from the doors and draft. We ended up being perfectly comfortable and able to enjoy our meal. If you've eaten at Outback, you have a good idea of their fare - this location did a great job on our dishes, everything was cooked as requested and brought out in a timely manner. The manager, Ariana made several stop by our table to ensure that we were taken care of, and our waiter, Calvin, was accommodating - even when we had a miscommunication about a menu item and had it removed from our bill. We really appreciate the extra mile taken by the staff here, it certainly wasn't their fault that the furnace went out and they had to continue working even though you could tell that the rest of the restaurant, away from a space heater, was very drafty and cold. Kudos to them on a job well done and working to create happy customers who will come back.

I had a gift card and I am glad I did because I did not care for the place, people told me it was good, but the food was average, Steak was tough, over priced for small amount of food. Probably will never go back to this place. The service was ok, but could have been better

We Came in on a tuesday night. The hostess was super friendly and even made food and drink sugestions witch was very nice. Then our waitress came over and was equally nice. The service was great! The food came out perfectly too! Then as if things couldnt get any better the bartender came over and gave me a little sample of a leftover frozen cocktail rather then throw it out. Couldn't of had a better dinner! Thanks guys!

After protesting my group to go here and I was out voted, but I bet I won't be again. True to the Outback Hazelwood form we were not disappointed and got the service and food I told them we would. BAAAADDDD!!!! We ordered appetizers that came out burnt and out waitress forgot our two of our salads. All four of us ordered their large Outback special thinking that was the way to go. NEVER again, we waited 30 min and our steaks were obviously not the right size. One was huge, one was the small and the other 2, after we asked, were the child's portion. Why couldn't the cook or waitress see this was wrong???? So one of us got to eat and the rest of us had to wait. Then they came out one by one. Three of us were done before the 4th person ever got their replacement! NEVER did the manager come by apologize or anything!!! NEVER will I go here again. This restaurant is a huge mark on their reputation as far as I'm concerned.

I went to this restaurant to eat dinner. Food was prepared and brought to our table. During the course of our dinner a roach crawled across out table! My wife and I immediately got up and went to the hostess station. We explained to the manager our displeasure. He offered another table. We declined. I had visions of roaches crawling all over our food. He offered us a $20 gift card which I immediately returned to him explaining that we would not return. I called St Louis County health dept. They promised to investigate. This never happened. Our visit was in Dec 2013. It's Feb 2014 now. I think it is time they actually did their job. I feel obligated to warn others of our experience given the health dept lack of investigation.

Hubby and I went there last night specifically for the No Worries Wednesday 3 course meal for $11.99/p.p. and Outback did not disappoint. Hubby had a salad that looked good (that's important to me because I make beautiful salads for my husband) and he said it tasted fresh. I had the White Bean soup. Our waiter, Joe even brought out a sample since I was a little apprehensive. Steaks were cooked medium well to perfection (lite pink center). Baked potato for hubby and garlic mashed for me. Both were hot and tasty. Potatoes I know, but trust me, I've been to restaurants where the potatoes taste and looked like mush. Not here! Hot, fluffy and flavorful. Dessert was cheesecake. They had run out of unthawed, but gave us the frozen to take home which was ok because we were both full to the brim. There were two other entree choices but can't remember (chicken and shrimp maybe) because you go to Outback for steak. All in all, well worth it.

The food was very good! The wait staff were very friendly but the wait time on the food was very slow.We had to wait for our food for 1 hour at least or longer.This is not acceptable. We had a party of five & one of our people left because the wait was so long. A person can only eat so much bread & water or drinks lol. The food was great but the wait time has to improve.

Outback has seriously gone downhill and I expect them to start closing their underperforming stores. This location will be one of them. it's sad to see a place (once so good) go down the tubes.
