Not what I expect from an Outback. We stopped for Sunday lunch and ordered two steakhouse salads, which we previously enjoyed at other Outback's. I don't know if the recipe for these has been changed everywhere or this Outback deviated from it. The greens were old and brown at the edges. Very little of the blue cheese was present. The steak was probably skirt and very tough despite being med-rare as requested. Worst of all the dressing was quite sweet and drowned the greens. They were busy but still the service was too slow for that level of busy. I will return to Outback, maybe not this one, because I think they offer good value at their price point.

Well it's the worst place I have ever been to the service was not good at all. The whole rack of ribs I ordered consist of 4 and a half of ribs I think in most places is not even a half a rack. The ribs were cold around the bone, the glasses were not clean so in my humble opinion this place truly SUCKED!

This was the Worst and I do mean the worst experience I have ever had at an Outback restaurant. 1. The restaurant is very dirty including the bathroom. There was food on the the floor and there was no effort to sweep up the previous meal service. 2. When we arrived (there were two of us), we were told the wait would be 30 minutes or more although there were 5 empty tables available in the restaurant. 3. Once seated, we ordered an appetizer (blooming onion), 2 hamburgers--one with a salad and one with soup. 4. The appetizer arrived first and it was burned. 5. After about 30 minutes (right now we have only received bread and the appetizer) the waitress ask us if we needed anything else. I told her we were waiting on our food. She said "Oh yea" and ran back to the kitchen and brought us a salad and soup. The waitress then comes back to our table (It is now about an hour and half into this ordeal) and ask us if we saved room for dessert. I said we are waiting on our hamburgers. Again she ran to the kitchen to check on our order. 6. Now we get our hamburgers which are ruined. They are dry and cold. Must have been sitting in the kitchen this whole time. Over 2 hours have now passed. 7. I paid the check and ask to speak to the manager. He would not talk to us because they said he was busy. He sent some one else out to speak to us.

I love Outback...I get the filet so its hard to mess that up and its normally cooked to the correct temp...and I love love love their clam chowder its not like any I've ever had anywhere..kinda spicy I love it! But I despise the call ahead seating!!!! nothing is as frustrating as to walk into a half empty restaurant ( in a lil town like Gaffney... its not like we are talking about Myrtle Beach..lol) at 5:00 and be told there is a hour wait. an hour wait while I'm standing there looking at at least 7 empty tables on the side I was on ...and people standing outside waiting...it is crazy. now I just call in . .not for seating...but for take out clam chowder...I'll spend my money for steak some place else!!!

We'll once order a steak well done and it come out with red running out. The service needs improving.

Food was typical Outback Steakhouse fare and the steaks were cooked to perfection; however, I've never seen such slooooooow service. It was a weeknight and the place was not that busy. Once seated, we got our drinks after more than 15 minutes, the appetizer (blooming onion) took another 20 minutes, salads took another 15 minutes, and it was a full hour and 10 minutes from the time we were seated before our meals were served. Since it wasn't that crowded, it must have been the kitchen and/or poor management. Good food, but most people would consider the wait unacceptable.
It's chain food, but still about the best you're going to get in a small town. Good atmosphere.

Visiting from Maryland and a fan of Outback we chose to eat here. Waitress was good but her English was not always clear. Food was hot, my husbands steak came out rare and had to be cooked longer but was really good. All in all a good dinner.

I see some bad reviews here. I guess it's a good thing I didn't see them before. We went there after a day of medical appointments because it was my wife's birthday. She ordered a steak and it was overcooked. Our server, Josh, took it back to get another one. A few minutes later, the manager, Travis, came to tell us he was dealing with the problem. The new steak was perfectly cooked and even though my wife had eaten the sides, she got new ones. When we got ready to leave, she got some more of the grilled asparagus in her togo box too. The customer service was fantastic. Josh was very personable and attentive throughout. It was a very nice experience overall and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

20 year wedding anniversary today so instead of staying in town (shelby) wanted to go somewhere different and I've not had a blooming onion in forever so let's go to the outback...never again or at least not to this one! 30 minute wait on app. The entire 2 hour experience several tables with crying babies non stop...ugh really take your child outside until they calm down have some respect we aren't eating at a pizza buffet with a kid game room. Ordered my salad with dressing on the side, nope salad covered in dressing of course. 45-50 minutes later entree comes steak ok do better at home of course lobster tail chewy and I really am paying for that?? My daughter had ribs and that was the only entree that wasn't a let down. Had to wave waitress down several times for refill of drinks. Husband ordered from the Wednesday special 11.99 deal had to remind waitress of this so we wouldn't be overcharged...she asked how is everything I answered lobster not good very chewy...she's like ok and walked off. Experience total let down ill cook on my next anniversary or browse more thoroughly on yelp before we go!! Manager at the end comes to our table I don't even look up he says ok now y'all have a nice flavor!! Who does that and how is he manager?? Total waste of a night of celebration...one star just for the ribs!!

I haven't been to an Outback Steakhouse in a while so I'm not sure if they were trying something different at this location or across the entire chain. The servers wore black shirts with jackets and the décor was a little fancier than I remember. They also seemed to revamp the menu. The changes were mostly in the appearance of the menu itself but the custom steak options were different. I tried the wood fire over the traditional spice for the steak but didn't taste a difference. The ribeye came out in a perfectly rectangular shape which was disturbing. It wasn't marbled as much as dotted with hard spots of fat. The waitress was nice but overwhelmed even though the place wasn't crowded. Our soups came out well after the main meal which was disappointing. Supposedly the place is usual crowded, especially on the weekend. I wouldn't recommend going back unless you are into Outback's menu.
