Truly Sad to see one of my all time favs places for over 17 years decline. It's as if no one knows how to properly prepare the entrees or drinks. I am so tired of you having to remake my frozen drink over and over and over. It's as if staff has no training and just restyle everything and they have very little skills. I hate craving something to be disappointed. read more

Oh my, was I impressed with this outback! Mark my words: My husband ordered "the BEST outback steak I ever tried." I mean it was up to par with a few other very expensive steaks we have eaten in the past, but only for $26.99! He ordered a 22 oz. Bone-in Ribeye and made sure our server understood the importance of how to cook it just right, so that it was full of flavor, but still tender. Not only did they deliver, but we're talking MELT IN YOUR MOUTH good kinda flavor. I got the filet & lobster and was very satisfied with my order as well. Our server's name was Brandon J and he was absolutely wonderful! As a server myself, I have to say that I was very happy with our service from him because he really enhanced our experience. read more

My family and I went to Outback tonight to dine. We requested outdoor seating because we have an at risk child, who's only have vaccinated. We thought we'd done our research and found a place with outdoor seating, but when we got there, we were told outdoor seating wasn't available. The reason given was because there wasn't a server working that section. I myself who has waited tables before, almost 10 years while in school, know that it's not uncommon to have someone work out of "their normal section". I'm disappointed there wasn't any type of effort to accommodate us, especially in today's climate. There still is a pandemic going on. Very disappointing. read more

Ordered curb side delivery today, 10/18. Sadly didn't check the food before leaving, blooming onions are nearly coated in breading, my blooming chicken sandwich is burnt, and the 6oz steak is more like a 3oz steak. Very disappointed. read more

Outback is a great place to grab a steak. They cook them just the way you like it. Another thigh I like is the different cuts they have. This is a great place to come grab a few appetizers with friends. The fish tacos, blooming onion, and chicken wings are all my favorites. read more

The Caesar salad dressing was too spicy for me to eat also the honey mustard with my wife's chicken. Bread and butter was good, loaded baked potato was good and regular prime rib was excellent. Service was good. read more

We ordered a to go meal from the Outback Steakhouse on Whiskey Road in Aiken, South Carolina on December 12th. In our to go order, we requested silverware, which we did not get. We also requested honey butter for the bread, which we did not receive. We requested extra tomato and cheese on the salad, and only received one half of a small cherry tomato in the salad and barely any cheese. Also, we ordered a medium rare steak, which was cooked more towards the medium to medium well side, both of which you can see in the photos I am posting. I would not recommend ordering to go food from this location, because they obviously do not come through with the correct order. Had I eaten in the restaurant, I could have had these things fixed. However, basic request such as extra tomatoes and cheese on a salad and a medium rare steak, should be easy to fulfill whether the customer is eating inside the restaurant or getting a to-go meal. I was not satisfied with this purchase, and I will not order to go food from this location again. Very sad, because I really like Outback Steakhouse. read more

Outback is one of my favorite places for steak. This restaurant didn't let me down. I had the Ribeye with fries. The steak was tender and cooked properly. The staff serving us were friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and was clean. Overall good meal. I'll be back. read more

Well I eat here a Outback at lease once a week and today the have a new soup it's call creamy French onion. They combined French onion with their potato soup. DO NOT GET IT. It is way too salty and the mixture of the two soup just dose not mixed well. Also the bake potato way cold in the middle. You have to send it back a couple of times to get it heated right. Very unhappy with this visit read more

Tyiesha is probably the worst waitress that I ever had. She was less than pleasant taking our order. The order was incorrect and as I was telling her, she simply walked away and never came back. Had to grab another waitress later on to get a drink refill. Someone else brought our check over and dropped it on the table and left. No one ever asked how it was, or probably cared. Tyiesha did not have a problem joking with some of the other customers that she probably knew. The closest she came to me after she dropped our order and walked away was when she almost dropped a tray of someone else's food on my head. There are a lot of people looking for jobs right now that would be much, much better than her. Horrible experience all the way around. Never again. read more

I'm giving a one star because it's not an option to give ZERO stars. I drove an hour with a friend to go to Aiken today (1/30/2021) and have a meal and shop. We stopped in and waited patiently for a seat despite there being several clean booths available. No biggie. We finally get seated and menus are presented to us by Tyiesha. We greeted her with smiles and a hello. No smile returned. No greeting to speak of. We place our orders and wait. The young man that brought our bloomin onion out was wonderful. He was the only bright spot of the entire meal. Tyiesha was surly, and rude the entire time. My friend had her water glass slammed down on the table several times. It was clear to us that "Ty" did not want to serve us, and by us, I mean us in particular. She was quite pleasant to the other patrons and sadly, the only conclusion we could reach for why she was so rude was maybe the lack of melanin in our skin. My friend was in the middle of making a request when "Ty" just up and walked away. We had to beg for plates, salt, A1 and more. At one point, our server nearly smacked my friend in the back of the head with the serving tray! There was no "is there anything else you need" or "would you like dessert?" or any niceties whatsoever. The service was seriously THE worst I have ever experienced. It's not like we were rude or made unreasonable requests. I was going to place a take out order of prime rib for my husband, but Ty refused to spend more than 2 seconds at our table, so I did not have the opportunity to request a take out order. I always tip generously... usually about 30%. Today's experience was so awful that on the receipt where it noted space for a tip, I simply wrote "be nicer." Had she simply been remotely pleasant at all, it would have most likely been a $20 on a $60 tab. So, we will not be dining at Outback Steakhouse after today. It's quite clear that we are not welcome at Outback and I can spend my money at places were I (and my friends) will be welcomed and our patronage is valued. The only plus about the visit was the bloomin onion. Just sign me Table 85 party of 2. read more

From the appetizer sampler platter to the seared sirloin each endeavor was simply excellent. The steak was very tender and cooked perfect. Who needs a desert when you order a baked sweet potato. The sweet potato is one of the best. I really enjoyed the food and great service. Makes my day wind down with satisfaction. read more

I eat most of my dinners via takeout and Outback is one of my favorites. Tonight I had the BEST MEAL EVER! My Victoria's filet was like butter! Seasoned and prepared beautifully, it melted in my mouth I usually get steamed broccoli as one of my sides but this evening, it was green beans. They were excellent! A little drizzle of butter and I THINK, a touch of lemon was a delightful change. And who can go wrong with a baked sweet potato with ALL the top pings? The servers who work in the takeout area are always "Johnny on the Spot" so very little waiting. How can you go wrong with great food and warm, smiling service? Thanks again Outback! I will see you again, soon! read more

Our server, Ryan (AKA Timothy) was absolutely phenomenal. 10/10 recommend- ask for Ryan (:

Disappointed. Took my 97 year old mother to Outback so she could have her Baby Back ribs. Waitress (very good) took drink and appetizer order (petals). I also ordered ribs; wife ordered chicken dish. Waitress came back and said no ribs today (this was about 1:30 pm on Saturday). So mom ordered same chicken dish as wife; I ordered steak quesadilla. Manager came around a few minutes later...apologized about ribs and said they were also out of steak for the quesadilla. Asked if we could try something else and stated she would cover the appetizer (she did). I ordered a rib eye. Service was good and my mom enjoyed her dish. My rib eye was cooked properly, but a lot of fat for a $25.00 steak. Bottom line things were ok but not what I was expecting from Outback. read more

I would like to tell you about some of the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever had. I came to visit some friends this weekend in Aiken and my Love wanted to try Outback so we went in. We were greeted by the host with a 45 minute wait but we decided to stay. Once we were texted with a confirmation we arrived at the host desk to be seated immediately. We were greeted by our beautiful waitress Joy. The entire meal she made sure that we had EVERYTHING that we needed with a smile. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we were satisfied with our visit. The food was delicious. The blooming onion was definitely my favorite. She sent us home with To Go drinks and sauce. We didn't have to ask because she came through in every way. Unknowingly we left our form of payment behind once we departed. We didn't notice until we made it to our next destination. We went back and Joy was right there with our card. She let us know that she tried to chase us out but was glad we came back! That is customer service at its finest ladies and gentlemen. When you go to Outback In Aiken, make sure to ask for Joy! She's awesome! read more

Can someone tell me the point of calling ahead if you still have to wait 40 minutes for a table only to find out that not only were you not put on the list at time of calling, we weren't even put on the list at arrival?.. Seriously? You get one star outback only because it won't allow me to rate less. read more

Wish it could be Zero. Although our server did a good job, I have no idea why we waited for at least 15 minutes d'or a table that was empty the entire time we were waiting. The food is dreadful ans the whole restaurant is filthy. Never again. read more

I don't complain. I have never written a complaint on yelp but could not resist this time. I have eaten here before and had good service and good food. This evening let me know that I won't be back. The wife and I were immediately seated as there were not many people at the restaurant when we arrived. Three other couples arrived after us and were waited on immediately. We were not even approached for our drink order. As we were starting to leave we were finally reached out to by another server (Summer) who asked if we had been waited on. She stated that the server working that area was really busy and apologized for her. I didn't tell her that there was only had one other couple in her section when we sat down. We then ordered a bloomin' onion. When it arrived it was actually dripping with grease. The bottom layers were soggy from the grease. I made the comment to the wife that they must have a new cook as we've never had anything happen like that at any Outback. We then ordered the prime rib, the wife ordered hers medium well and I ordered mine medium with sides of a salad. When the salads arrived I began mixing mine before putting the thousand Island dressing on it and there was already thousand island dressing inside the bowl on the bottom. I didn't think about it at first and then began to think that maybe someone had ordered a salad and something was wrong after getting it and sent it back where it may have been just turned upside down into another bowl. I didn't eat it. When the steaks arrived the wife's was very rare and mine was extremely rare. I told the wife I was going to send them back and she told me it was okay and not to worry about it. Neither of us ate even half our steaks. We did take them with us, further cooked them when we got home, and they were great. The Augusta Outback is about the same distance from our home as the Aiken store so I will eat there next time. read more

The server was sweet to begin with. Barely came back to check on us. The order was wrong and my date never got her sauce for her meal. We decided not to eat because it was incorrect. Asked for a manager and never saw one. Paid for my meal and left. Probably won't be back. read more

We went to the Outback in Aiken last night. It was the worst I've ever had. Although the food was ok, the service was absolutely terrible. After we got seated and looked at the menus we waited. And waited. And waited. Still no server. I finally asked the busboy who our server was and he went to get them. We ordered drinks and our food as she was there. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Then she comes out and said they are out of prime rib so I had to get something else. She left a menu but never came back (still no drinks or salad). Some random guy walking by suddenly stopped at my table and asked if I decided on something else. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Our server just happened to be walking by and saw we had No drinks and ran to get them and then one excuse after another each time she showed up at our table. She was accused of stealing a credit card that was left on the table then said she was cussed out for being out of prime rib and then it was her first day back after having knee surgery. We finally get our salads and food all at the same time and never saw our server again until she brought us the check. OUTBACK, please have a manager walk the floor checking on your server's service. This was the worst experience I've ever had at this Outback and the place was practically empty. I stopped going to the Augusta Outback because of the long wait times but I always got good service there. If I ever do go back to the Aiken location, I'll make sure I don't have that server. read more

Worst trip ever! Dirty tables in the bar. Only one table was clean enough to sit at and didn't get cleaned for at least 30 minutes after we arrived. We were also told they were out of lamb when we saw later one of the 8 staff members taking a dinner break they had some! Really like going to outback but we'll wait a while before going back! read more

Ordered a entree chicken salad, 45 min later everyone received their food but mine, finally when they brought the wrong salad with no chicken, another 30 min later they brought a salad but with no chicken, was not very happy with the service. Talked to the manger and didn't even comp the salad. read more

We ate at this restaurant 7-10-19 and the food was all wrong. One steak was over done and the other was under done. They took it back to fix and came out with a 6 oz steak instead of a 8 oz so they took it back again which took even longer. The kitchen manager, Kyle, was awesome and took care of the entire bill for us. Way to save the day from ending even worse. read more

Sat waiting for a table not that busy they sat three different people that came in after us and another group asked when were they going to get a table hostess says soon . We left sat there twenty minutes went to O Charlies got seated right away!!!! read more

Tuesday night at 9:15. Seated fast, fast and polite wait staff. We just ordered apps and drinks.

We did curbside pick-up, so we know there is always some "risk". They we're prompt when we arrived. My crab stuffed tilapia was wonderful, but the steak was overdone and tough. The chicken artichoke flatbread was awesome!!! read more

Great service, food was cooked perfect, clean, great place! All the staff was helpful from beginning to endn make sure to a steak! Outback special awesome! Highly recommend! read more

I've been in three Outback restaurants in different cities of the U.S. and I have to say that this is the worst of the three, the place seemed to be a little bit dirty, the cutlery was not really clean and the taste of the food was not as good as in the other Outbacks. read more

My husband took me, my 4 children and their 2 spouses out for my Mother's day celebration. I told my family the last time I had been to Outback in Aiken which was several months ago with a friend we were told they were out of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Well after we were seated and ready to order we were told "we are out of mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, and sweet potatoes" SO THIS IS 2 TIMES IN A ROW. After we finished our meal my family went outside to wait while I went to the rest room. As I am walking to the restroom I notice at least 5 tables with baked potatoes and mashed potatoes. Why is that one area of the restaurant has the choice of potatoes but not the other side? I know these patrons had to have arrived close to when we arrived so it doesn't make sense. read more

My husband and I was visiting our family in South Carolina, and we went to Outback for dinner. Our server Brianna T. was the sweetest server I've ever had. When she approached the table she had a warm and welcoming smile. Not once did our drinks go empty, she just had an awesome personality! She made sure we were done with our salads before she brought out our entrees. The food was delicious! I will definitely be returning, and ask for Brianna again! Highly satisfied!! read more

Celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary tonight here. I couldn't say enough good things about Outback. The service was outstanding and our server, Stewart, was very attentive to our needs and the restaurant was extremely busy. He noticed if we needed anything and promptly served us. Was pleasant and courteous. What an asset for Outback. Our order was taken and delivered timely and the steak was cooked to perfection. I ordered the twin lobster tails and they were perfect. Thanks, Stewart for making our day complete and memorable. Did I mention that Stewart must have mentioned to the manager that it was our anniversary and on the way out, she congratulated us and offered free desserts to take home. We will be back. read more

Ok folks here goes..let me start by saying that I am a resident of Aiken and I have eaten at this place several times...tonight however was my first experience dining in under the new ownership and I can comfortably say I will not return..we were seated promptly,server took our order and when food was delivered it was mostly correct..I ordered extra dressing for my salad and had to ask for it again when the salad arrived.my wife ordered the portobello filet,when it arrived,no portobello on the steak,also I've had a burger at McDonalds that was of larger size than this over priced puck....Sent back,returned with what I consider a very poor representation of what the menu described....I had the prime rib....cooked as I ordered which was nice...I ordered the baked potato with everything,came out with just enough butter and sour cream to melt a portion of the dryness away..Children's meals were acceptable,kinda hard to screw up chicken strips and fries...ordered Oreo milk shake for the kids for dessert,$3.00 for what appeared to be about a 6 ounce or less serving!!!...on the beverage side,my wife had a glass of Pinot,was not asked if she preferred any brand,and it was $10.25....way overpriced for the glass that was served...was also not asked if we wanted another beverage....overall a very poor representation of what this place used to be....and also not worth the $84 bill for a family of 4.....I would give 0 stars if I could.... read more

This isn't the outback we once knew. The food here was poorly prepared. The salad was wilted, the fries limp, and the steak was tough. On top of that the hostess and the waiter acted like working there was the last thing they wanted to be doing. Shame! Poor value and service. read more

If only I had the possibility of giving this place no stars. Having been driving for a few hours with hopes of getting home before dark, we waited on a steak for just under an hour when the place was hardly full. When the meal finally arrived it was so horrendously underdone you couldn't even call it rare. We called the manager over and asked that's what he considered "medium" and he confidently replied "yes that's medium". If only I brought out the picture on the menu to point out what a steak looks like. We asked for some more time on the grill which took another 15 minutes. The manager being delusional with an exceptionally apathetic attitude, I saw more passion in our server's work than the guy who actually ran the place. read more
