We came here on a weeknight afternoon for dinner. We had to wait 5 or 10 minutes for a table. I ordered the seasoned and seared ribeye, 12 oz, with mashed potatoes. The server said I had a choice of broccoli or asparagus for the vegetable but she neglected to tell me there was a $2.50 up charge for the asparagus. I feel she should have told me this up front. My wife ordered the slow roasted classic prime rib with mashed potatoes and a caesar salad. All in all our meals were both fine. read more

Well, I have higher hopes for this place! It is a very average place to eat. My food was very salty and I wasn't impressed with either quality or taste. read more

Stopped in for dinner today, since steak was on my mind all day! No wait to be seated at 5:30pm on a Monday. Ordered the limited time appetizer, blooming shrimp, holiday special drink, gingerbread martini, along with a center cut 11oz steak cooked medium with a side of Aussie fries +cheese and bacon and Mac n cheese, and to top it all off ordered the chocolate fondue dessert. Blooming shrimp were cooked to perfection, nice nice crispy, and paired very well with the blooming sauce. Definitely a must try! Steak and sides- steak seasoned beautifully, next extra glaze needed! Mac n cheese could use a little work. They came with minimal cheese and cold. The skillet they were served in was warm at best. They also taste of rosemary. Chocolate fondue - Definitely enough food for two to share. Came with brownies, butter cake, berries and homemade whipped topping. Brownies were freezer burnt but masked it with the delicious chocolate. Gingerbread and blackberry martini were sooo delicious, I'd stop back in just for drinks! read more

ordered a pick up, food was hot and very tasty! my first time ordering their Salmon. it was cooked well, not too undercooked or over done!

The food was mediocre, loved the Blooming onion however. I ordered a new meal pairing I got a 6oz steak with lobster Mac, and the new Jussie drink. I should of gotten a bigger piece of steak lol it was good however. The lobster Mac and cheese wasn't close to being good i expected more for the price. They were really weird about seating like girl just seat us lol, the place was kinda empty. My waitress was really sweet however she worked for that tip. I probably won't come back unless somebody else is paying lol. read more

There is nothing not to love about Outback. This place has been around for years and it's always great! I always order the blooming onion. Although this onion seemed smaller than it has been in the past, it was still very good! I also ordered the quesadilla and the loaded mashed potatoes. The loaded potatoes were the most delicious part of the meal!! I dined in for an early dinner and it was not busy at all around 4pm. Our waitress was great and I have no complaints about the meal. I love coming to this place and would continue to come here in the future. read more

Food was very good the wait was not long and the service was very good I will definitely go back

Decided to give this place one more try after not being there in five years. Horrible. They did not even send out some of our food. Offered our appetizer after our steaks came out??? Steaks, their best cut were tasteless, and small. They were not the size stated. We did "call ahead,". Their wait was an hour (we got in, in half an hour.). 1/3 of the restaurant was empty though. Maybe a staffing issue?? If you're going to spend $100 or more on dinner, go somewhere else. I like to point one good thing out.... Can't. read more

I originally went to the Roadhouse grill for the Early dine special. After sitting at the bar ready to order a manager tells me I can't sit where I was. So I got up and left ready to cuss him out. Went to outback for the 1st time. 6oz sirloin was $7 more than R.grill, but for $2 more I upgraded to 8oz cut. Not as seasoned as R.G. and Swert potato was tiny and way overdone like mush. All in all Roadhouse has a better sirloin and potato, and chef salad too. read more

We visited Outback Steakhouse on Niagara Falls Blvd on May 5th 2025 (happy cinco de mayo!). As we pulled into the parking lot, we thought, oh no, they're closed. There were fences and visible construction in progress. But, god was on our side and they were open! we were greeted by Grace, the hostess. Graces energy was unmatched, and her positive vibes set a tone that would linger for the rest of our experience. after walking us to our booth, she explained the specials thoroughly and got us excited for our experience. After she left, the star of the show arrived. Will, who was our server, was without a doubt the greatest server I have ever experienced. He was knowledgeable, professional and just an absolute joy to interact with. I ordered the Ribeye which was cooked to perfection. my wife got the sirloin and the boomaritia (what fun!) and everything was delicious. Outback on Niagara falls blvd does it again. each time they up their game, and this time was no different. outback-5/5 stars. Will- 10/5 stars. we will talk about this night for years to come.

I received an email from outback yesterday that let me know I am able to get their largest sirloin steak as a deal. The one day only deals do happen from time to time. I was nearby at Raymour and Flannigans furniture emporium and decided to take them up on the deal. Large franchised restaurant chain which I have eaten at before but it's been longer than five years. Quiet midday lunch crowd I was alone so sat at the bar. The bartender Mike was helpful and knowledgeable about the sirloin steak deal. We're off to a good start! The dish came out quickly and hot the sweet potato was just fine cooked to a soft as a mashed potatoes dish in it's own very tender skin. The broccoli was firm not undercooked and the steak was beefy in taste and sirloin in chewiness. It wasn't tough but my teeth had a good workout. It was seasoned well not to salty or peppery either for that matter. Good flavor all around and the price was a special today I saved about four dollars on the whole meal. Well worth it. read more

Honestly this is my favorite chain steakhouse. The steak is almost always done correctly and tastes great. I love the Caesar salad as it's a little on the spicy side. There is no appetizer better than a blooming onion. I've never had a complaint about the wait staff. Tonight we had great service. Pro tip: get the kiwi Rita read more

I have not been to Outback in years. I took two of my adult children out for dinner last night after a rough day for some nourishment with no effort. I was really glad my daughter wanted to go here. We arrived right around 5PM as we are early dinner eaters. We were able to be seated immediately. Our server was absolutely top notch! The food was all very good as well. read more

As always, the food at Outback is tasty and reliable. What really stood out about my visit today was the server - Mary Ellen. She was super warm, personable, responsive, and clearly professional. The people you encounter at a restaurant are what truly make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience, and Mary Ellen is a treasure. Please ask to be seated in her sect (every day except Tuesday), and I guarantee you'll be glad you did. Excellent job, Mary Ellen - I know that I'll be back! read more

I took my father here for dinner, I have not been in a number of years and I will probably not be back. The service was really slow and not overly friendly. We waited forever for basic things like a glass of water or our drinks. Five minutes after we gave our order we had to repeat it to her so she was just not on her game at all. Did not see a manager or anybody to check on things. It seems like they are really having a struggle keeping up with the number of people that were in there even at an early hour. The food was OK, not great, but I didn't expect it to be great. My dad really enjoyed his dinner my shrimp were well, seasoned and decently cooked. I just think for the money you could do a lot better. They really should work with their staff because it was extremely disorganized. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak and lobster. Was decent! - Steakhouses Near Me - Amherst, New York

To start the limited time bloomin shrimp was delightful. The steak at outback steakhouse is always devine. Perfectly cooked and no need for extra sauces or seasonings. Their new Tasmanian chili was pretty decent but not my favorite. It is spicy and made with no beans. Not sure how you call that a chili but it is made very clear that there are no beans. As always the bloomin blonde beer is the perfect pairing with any of their steaks. And to top off the dinner the dessert fondue was delicious and the perfect ending. read more

Last night me and my wife ordered uber eats and got Outback. Was in the mood for a steak and haven't been there in quite a while. I ordered the 13 oz sirloin and she ordered the 6 oz filet. Both were cooked to our liking. They offered a decent selection for sides, she got the steamed broccoli and the asparagus for an extra charge. I got the steamed and seasonal vegetables which were peas. Everything was very good, not exactly mind shattering, but good. Would we go back? Sure. But not exactly oh we can't wait to go back, you know what I mean? read more

Steaks were very good. French onion soup not so good. Steak seasoning is a little spicy. Service was very good

The server wanted to place me, husband, and our 4 year old near the front door where people were running in and out. We kindly asked for another seat and she stated we'd probably go back on the wait list. I think she was irritated that she was going to lose her table in her area. Who wants to eat at a drafty booth near the front door in the middle of winter? Not me! Any who they moved us quickly after our request. This location seems to be spotty. They are definitely not consistent by a long shot. Food was kind of mediocre..my Bone In prime rib barely had any flavor! I mean come on that's what a prime rib is known for! I think I actually enjoy Roadhouse better. Sad because Outback used to be my favorite out of them all. At least my top shelf Rita was good read more

Since I was a little kid I've had a soft place in my heart for the Outback Steakhouse. When I was little I used to visit one in Southington, CT and order the kids chicken finger meal, but as an adult I've evolved into eating the steak. I came here on Sunday night while in need of some dinner after some shopping. We were seated in the bar area so we wouldn't have to wait for a booth and the wait staff was friendly and quick throughout our stay. I ordered some of the kukabura chicken wings for an appetizer and the sirloin for my main course with French fries and mashed potatoes on the side. I absolutely loved the wings and whatever they put on them is killer, great unique taste. The steak was made rare and it was very enjoyable. I would definitely say that Outback is the best of the chain restaurant steaks (maybe second to Longhorn). The French fries were decent, though nothing I would ever need to order and the mashed potatoes get a big thumbs up in my book, soft and flavourful in there own way. Overall, the Outback Steakhouse is good for what they are. The prices are fair, the staff is friendly, and the food is really, really good for what it is. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

We went to outback on Niagara Falls Blvd on Saturday April 20, 2024. There were 15 of us , two of us celebrating birthdays. It was 4 pm. We were seated within 15 minutes of our arrival. Drinks were provided immediately. Orders were taken and appetizers were served within 10 minutes. Our main meal was served shortly afterwards. We had one waitress for the entire table ( we were all seated together). We were checked on frequently. Food was excellent. Price was excellent ( steak and lobster for 21.99). Manager stopped by to make sure everything was good. I would've given this place ten stars if I could. Absolutely terrific service, food and prices. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Amherst, New York

One of my favorite nicer chain restaurants! They have excellent appetizers, my all time favorite are the cheese fries. Covered in cheese and bacon, the fries are crispy and warm, and then homemade ranch dressing to dip them in. Best cheese fries I've had! Obviously they're known for their steaks, and there's a good reason. The meat is juicy and cooked exactly how you like. There is a excellent seasoning on top and potions fill you up. The entree comes with two sides too. I highly recommend getting a salad. It is refreshing and crisp with plenty of ingredients and croutons that have a slightly spicy hint. Baked potatoes are also delicious and huge. They will give it to you loaded or just plain butter. By the end of your meal, you're nice and full! Our waitress was fantastic, funny, and attentive. Overall a great restaurant to go and treat your family or friends. read more

Ordered blooming onion and first one was burnt. Second one was burnt. Think that the oil was carrying the burnt flavor forward. They kept serving burnt onions all around us and that's all you could smell. Balance of meal was ok. Potatoes in potato soup were raw and chicken was dry. read more

I generally haven't been very impressed with Outback Steakhouses I've eaten at in other states. Though I still think my husband grills a superior rib-eye, I was very happy with our meal tonight and he was enamored with his steak, potatoes and asparagus. My sons and mother in law were similarly pleased with their food. I had a Sugarplum Martini off the seasonal menu. It's vodka, elder flower, amaretto, pomegranate and "red mix." With a name like sugar plum, I thought it might be overly sweet, but it was very rich and well balanced. Plus it was a lovely deep shade of purple and garnished with gum drops, a wonderful mix of adult pleasures and childish delight. Servers came around with generous samples of the blooming onion and their Aussie cheese fries. I've never experienced that in a chain restaurant before. Cheese fries aren't the most elegant dish, but if you're a fan like me, theirs is the best. I think it's the spicy ranch that makes it. I wish I'd ordered that as my meal though my coconut shrimp and garlic herb Parmesan fries were pretty good. I almost never order steak at restaurants (an exception being the Hawaiian ribeyes at Houston's in Arizona) but I enjoyed the few bites I tried of his. Definitely better than steaks I've had at other outbacks. At an hour and a half, our meal seemed to last overly long but if you're the kind of person who hates feeling rushed, that may be appreciated. Our server was fine and the floor manager was attentive. It's probably more of a 3 1/2 star kind of place but I'm rounding up due to everyone else's overall enjoyment. I won't mind bringing my Outback loving parents (who also grill a superior rib eye) here if they want when they visit. read more

I'm not a big fan of chain restaurant's. Usually there all the same. This is not the case with Outback. The quality here is great. The menu has plenty of options if you're not in the mood for steak. I have been eating at Outback for years. I came here last night to get a good steak dinner. The Food: I ordered the 6oz steak with a lobster tail and two sides for $28. The steak was excellent. The steak at Outback is always terrific. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfect. The steak was very juicy. I recommend the lobster tail with it. Great added flavor. For sides I went with the Mac & Cheese and mashed potatoes. Both solid choices. The Mac & Cheese is a huge portion. My girlfriend ordered the shrimp dinner and really enjoyed it. The drinks: $5 for a draft huge mug of bud light is a great deal. The cocktails were awesome too. They have a huge drinks list. One of the best things at Outback is there wide variety of speciality drinks. I recommend the rum punch. The inside: lots of seating and room at the bar. Plenty of televisions so you can catch a sporting event. Overall: Outback is a chain that does it right. Quality food, great service and a terrific experience. read more

I had a visitor in town who wanted steak, and somehow we decided on Outback. This was our first time at this location, so I went to their web site to get on the waiting list. Like other chain restaurants, they don't really have a reservation system - just a waiting list that you can be added to. We made our "reservations" for 7pm, showed up early at 6:30pm and still didn't get to sit down until 7:30pm. So much for their "call ahead" waiting system. Once we sat down, I was really dizzy from hunger. We told the waiter we were VERY hungry and she was good at bringing bread out very quickly. We placed our orders and our food came out surprisingly quickly. However, we ordered an appetizer sampler and I soon suffered that night and the next day with the Aussie version of Montezuma's revenge. We traced it to one of their sauces OR my ribeye steak. Whatever it was, I don't think we'll be going back to an Outback any time soon. read more

My husband and I went for dinner and I ordered the rice with Steak Medallians and shrimp. The shrimp was so salty I couldn't eat it. You were supposed to get 6 pieces of the Medallions, well I got 4 and a tiny one. I told my waiter that this is not what the dish looked like in the picture and that the shrimp was very salt. He was understanding and brought me a new plate with the shrimp not seasoned with all the salty seasoning and 6 Medallion. If you go there to eat tell them to cut back on the salt or seasonings if you don't like salty food. read more

I'm aware that this isn't a top-tier steakhouse like a buffalo Chop House or even Morton's but you generally get a pretty good meal here. This time around none of my party were thrilled with the meals. We had a variety of items from steak, to a pasta dish, a seafood entree and a chicken sandwich. 1 guest of my party went asfar to say that we should have just gone to Popeye's Chicken smh. (We had joke about going there for dinner earlier). I had the seafood platter special which consisted of two shrimp skewers, crab cakes a lobster tail vegetable and mashed potatoes. The shrimp could have been larger and the crab cakes tasted frozen and microwaved. My wife stated that her pasta dish lacked sauce and flavor. This is the first time in a while I had a meal I was not pleased with a meal from this establishment so I will chalk it up to maybe a new cook in the kitchen that day read more

Seated in a booth without a wait on a Friday night, this should have been a clue. Restaurant was quite empty. We placed our drink orders then waited...finally someone dropped them off at our table. Our server then arrived, my husband ordered the prime rib dinner,I ordered 8oz sirloin with ribs, meal included a house salad. My salad was limp and slightly damp. The bread was delicious which we munched on. Our meals arrived and I was served a dark brown burned top steak. Very hard to slice. My husband prime rib was so rubbery impossible to slice or eat. Called the server over, and asked why the meat was so different than the last time we were here. She explained they have new kitchen equipment....okay.. she then said she would replace our meat. She did. When we got the Bill they charged us for each item ex. Ribs 9.99. Salad 5.99 etc. The server never told us she would negate the meal and individually charge us for each item. When we explained we had ordered a meal that those items were grouped together under one price the server stormed away , and removed one "meal" We were so uncomfortable in a restaurant which should have been a fun evening. read more

We were out and about in the area so we decided to try outback in Amherst, This was our first time to this location and this place is quite big. We were sat almost immediately but it took a bit for our server to wait on us. But once we found out who are server was, he seemed to have a lot of tables in our area. We placed our drink order and we both order specialty sangrias. They both were really good and they gave us waters without us ordering them, which was a nice touch. I ordered the filet with unlimited shrimp and my hubby ordered baby back ribs. It took a while for food, but because of the amount of people in the restaurant it was expected. The steak came well done - ordered med well, server asked if I wanted to send it back, I chose to eat it. You can't uncook a steak and I didn't want it to go to waste. I would have liked a little pink, but it was ok. Then we had to wait for my shrimp, they brought one order and within 5 minutes they sent over 3 more orders of shrimp - one of which was not the kind I ordered. I asked them to take them back because I would not eat all of it. They must have bought too much shrimp and wanted to get rid of them. Ha Ha The ribs were cooked good, but they were not fall off the bone wonderful. There was some parts of the ribs that was chewy and for my hubby not to eat it, you know they weren't great ribs. We opted for no dessert, we had some running around to do and because our meal was ok, didn't want to eat anymore. Service was great and our server was very accomodating, food just wasn't up to snuff. Wish we could have had better food to match the service we received. read more
