Good food. Good service. The steaks were cooked as requested and the servers were always around. The restaurant was clean and will maintained. Not sure how their online "waitlist" works, but it doesn't. I put my name down online an hour or so before arriving. When i arrived, I was told it would be a 15-20 minute wait. At that point, I mentioned that I was on the waitlist. She looked it up and confirmed that I was. At that point she said it would be a 15-20 minute wait. Huh? Then why even have a wait list. Anyway, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. read more

Came here on a Friday night. I haven't had Outback since college, so decided to give this place a visit since the two things I remember loving about this place is their house salad and their wings We walked in about 6:30pm and it was not too crowded. We got seated immediately. Looked at the menu and ordered the following: Kookabura wings - exactly how I remembered them, but just a tad bit salty. Not sure if it was always this way, but they came out hot, juicy, and very flavorful. I have always ordered the wings when I visit and that will not change! 9/10 House salad - this too, was exactly how I remembered it... I got the salad with ranch dressing. It came out cold and crispy. Some of the lettuce leaves had come browning in them, but the salad was very good. 20oz Ribeye - good and not great. I ordered the steak medium, but got the steak medium rare. Because of this, I felt the fat of the rib eye did not marbleize and ended a bit chewy. Maybe asking to cook it bit longer would've fixed it, but that would've killed the timing of our meals (wife would've finished dinner, when my corrected rib eye just came out). Anyway, ribeye was mediocre. Not too much flavor, no hint of salt or pepper. Service was meh. Waitress took our orders, made sure our drinks were topped off and was friendly enough. I'm not expecting a 5 star experience. All in all, this was an affordable place for a steakhouse dinner. read more

I hate having to come on Yelp to leave this review but I also want to be honest and let the managerial staff know how they can do better. 1. During our entire time there which was from 4-6 pm we sat back to back with a manager conducting an interview for a potential employee. Let me tell you, the manager was not quiet and respectful of her potential employee. We heard ALL OF THEIR BUSINESS which ruined the ambiance of my birthday dinner. Being in a managerial position myself I would never conduct such a public interview right by the entrance of the establishment. If I had to do it in such a public way I would have conducted it in a corner booth away from patrons. 2. We put in our order at 4:13 pm. It was myself, my 8 year old daughter and my sister with her boyfriend. It took them 45 minutes to get the food to us and when it arrived they said they were sorry but had a big party order to fill. Okay. That's fine. What was NOT fine was that our food arrived cold. Literally cold to the touch. I kept my food and my daughter kept hers because she's a kid and doesn't like a hot meal. I didn't want to wait but my sister and her boyfriend were appalled by how cold their pasta was and the steak undercooked. They were the ones paying and they didn't think it was fair to be eating a $35+ meal that was cold. We asked for it to be remade which they did but showed their disapproval like we were lying. 3. We didn't see our waitress more than twice. The person who took our order wasn't even our waitress. She only came to check on us once and I got my soda refilled. After that we waited and waited so we could get boxes for our leftovers. No one came. We eventually walked up to the hostess to ask for a box. That in itself took another 15 minutes. After we paid that's when our waitress came to see if we needed anything! Awful experience! Will never return again. Please do better! We pay good money for our food. We should be allowed to enjoy it! I was the one who chose this place and we didn't enjoy it. read more

We came just after 1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and we had to wait for 30 minutes for a table. However the restaurant was half empty with plenty of open tables. I assume they were just understaffed but the host made no mention of why we needed to wait so long. Anyhow, we ordered pretty quickly as we needed to be somewhere soon - everyone came to try the steak, but two members, after reviewing the menu, just decided to try appetizers rather than ordering entrees. We ordered the chili, Mac and cheese, 2 NY combos, and a sirloin combo. They were all cooked to medium when we all asked for medium rare. We were not impressed. If you read my reviews, you know I am critical of salty over seasoned food - ironically this was the opposite- totally underseasoned. In fact, all the members who ordered steak spent just as much time putting salt and pepper on their food as they did eating. The sirloin was ok, the NY was better. The chili tasted canned and the Mac and cheese was not very cheesy. Overall, a mediocre meal at best. Presentation was dull - - but the fries were good. Regardless, if you don't know how to make a steak and you are in the area and want steak, this might be the place. I'm just going to go back to buying Costco prime NY and using the grill or my trusty Lodge cast iron pan. read more

Service was excellent! Arrived at 11am and were seated immediately. Ambiance was pleasant, and everyone was very attentive, polite, and friendly. The host, server, and the chef were all super nice and welcoming; in fact, the chef came out just to ask if everything was alright!Everyone enjoyed the food, and there was no rush, while we met with an old friend. Definitely recommend this restaurant, and we plan on returning :) read more

We had a great time at this Outback Steakhouse. Parking is easy and free. It is in a very nice location and it is spotless inside and out. We just loved it. The place is comfortable and it is super cute. You will love the service. They really go out of their way to make sure you have all you need. The staff is nice and you don't feel rushed there. It is just a really calming place to be. The food we had was excellent. All our steaks were cooked perfectly and they were very good. We love the sides. Their onion rings are super and we love their mashed potatoes. They also have wonderful salads and some nice vegetables to go with your meal. Their desserts are great. We will be back whenever we are in the area. read more

Outback Steakhouse in Arcadia is one of my favorite places to go when I'm craving prime rib but don't want to drive all the way to Lawry's. Unfortunately, the past few times I've gone to this location, they were either completely out of prime rib or they only have well done available. Service is always top notch here. I love their warm bread & creamy butter (I always asks for seconds), and their chicken wings - it is SO yummy! Definitely will keep coming back! read more

I've been to this Outback location many times! The service is always great, however it can be slow at times when it gets busy. Another pet peeve I have is that the seats are way too cramped and tight. Despite that, Outback is always on my go-to list whenever I'm back in Arcadia. I always order the bloomin onion, and usually it's undercooked, batter falls off, or the sauce is too bitter. However this time, it was perfect! I also ordered the bloomin burger and was surprised how juicy it was! Finally, I ordered the platypus punch (alcoholic) and the puggle splash, which comes with a platypus toy and an egg container. I would say the splash was like a lemonade but had lots of syrup. The platypus punch could have used more alcohol but was still delicious. Nonetheless, I look forward to my next time at outback! read more

Came here to celebrate my co workers 60th birthday of a party of 9 earlier today. There is plenty of parking. When you enter you are immediately greeted. I ordered off the Aussie 3 Course Meal which consists of a soup or salad, a choice from a selection of the of entrées, and a slice of the New York style cheesecake. So I got the: - Baked Potato Soup - The Bloomin' Burger - New York Style Cheesecake - Plain Drink: Strawberry Kiwi Margarita The drink was very delightful. The baked potato was decent. The consistency and a bit too thick for soup. The burger was decent as well, nothing too significant about it. Tasted a bit bland. The service was great! I was very appreciative of the staff checking up on our table constantly so that was a plus. I will say, the to go paper bags smell terrible FYI. It's a great place to have gatherings at, I will say. My co workers and I did enjoy ourselves. read more

I definitely have mixed feelings about my visit to this Outback. There was plenty of parking at 6:30pm mid week, and only a handful of other diners. That being said, it took quite awhile for anyone to acknowledge us, let alone seat us. I saw several staff members hanging out in the bar area chatting with the host stand clearly visible. Besides us, there was a party of six people waiting. It was pretty loud and obvious that people were waiting for help! Once we were seated, service was overall slow and generally unpleasant. Staff seemed tired, and annoyed to have customers. The steak was well cooked. Overall, I'd give this outback 4* for the food, but 0* for the service. I hope the kitchen staff is paid well! read more

The restaurant has a parking lot. Easy parking. We tried the chicken for the kid meal and the sirloin + ribs combo for an entree. Comes with 2 sides and got baked potato with everything and seasonal veggies which was broccoli. The steak was OK but the ribs were superb. Good value for its taste and portions. Did have to wait to be seated and took awhile for the check. Overall fairly good experience. Family friendly. Gives kids crayons and coloring sheet. read more

There's a good amount of parking at this location but can get busy. I've seen cars bail from a packed parking lot and a crowd of people waiting outside. There's loads of seating, mostly booths. During the middle of the week it's quite chill. Although it took a long while before anyone gave us a table. At least afterwards the service was quick. We ordered and got food in good time. There's also a tablet device to pay at the table which is always great. The bread and butter is just okay. It's a wheat bread that isn't warm or crispy. It's easily skippable. The sirloin at medium rare is fairly good. It's decently season. The Alice Spring chicken was tasty. I'd wish the beacon was crispy but might be a personal preference. The chicken was actually quite moist and juicy. The season rice had a good taste, wasn't bland. Mashed potatoes are simply mashed potatoes. Overall it's a good place for a more budget steak plus for family meal or special occasions. read more

I haven't been to Outback in years, and my recent visit was just okay. We came during peak dinner hours on a Saturday night, so the restaurant was packed and the whole experience felt a bit rushed. Fortunately, we only waited for around 10-15 minutes for a party of 2 at around 6 PM. Parking: Outback has its own parking lot, but it was almost full when we arrived, we were lucky to find a spot as someone was leaving. Service: Service was really rushed, our server was juggling multiple tables and often sped past us, making it hard to get their attention. Our waiter forgot our utensil and we had to wait to ask when they were nearby. Food: The food was average. I came specifically to try the Bloomin' Onion. I'd give it a 3/5 - it had a strong onion flavor with a batter that falls apart when you pull it. Worth trying it once- I recommend trying it with a side of ranch. Outback offers a wide variety of steaks, but unfortunately, that variety might be affecting quality. The prime rib I ordered was underwhelming. I'd give it a 2/5- more of a standard cut of meat than anything special. I preferred the ribeye over the prime rib, but they still both tasted just ok. One dish I really enjoyed was their potato soup side dish 4/5- would recommend if you enjoy a baked potato in a creamy soup form with a ton of cheese. Overall, Outback is worth a visit if you're around the area and want to eat at a chain diner. I wish their cut of meat can be more flavorful and may come back when they're not as busy. read more

Came for dinner to celebrate my birthday, and my wife was a veteran. Our server was great she was in overdrive tonight her section definitely got slammed. She handled it like a pro. Food came out promptly and was cooked to order and the chicken was super tender. Mashed potatoes were chunky and delicious. They brought me an ice cream for dessert for my birthday. She did a great job handling everything. The restaurant was packed but we didn't have to wait too long, restaurant had some games on the TVs in the bar while we waited. Thank you for my wife's free meal. read more

I'm not one to write reviews. Ever. Like I stray so far from ever writing them. But this one just really made me feel so unwelcome. I chose to dine in and I got sat immediately. Super good so far. I get sat around 9:52 pm. I'm going over the menu and just waiting to be greeted. Other people show up after me and are immediately greeted by their server. I waited 10-15 mins just waiting for someone to acknowledge me even to bring waters until I assume a manager looked at me and asked if I'd been helped yet. I said no and she pulled a server and said to take my order and they were going back and forth in front of me making it super awkward. I place my drink order entree and appetizer in one go. The drink comes out around 10:08 pm. The bread and my entree which was the 9oz sirloin with shrimp arrived around 10:18 and overall was delicious but I still waited for my appetizer. No one checks in with me while the same server is checking on everyone else and basically ignoring me and at one point 5-6 servers were standing next to my table talking about a customer who walked in who had an issue with the host trynna seat them at a full booth when they needed 2 high chairs and not one person acknowledged me. Since 10:05 when I placed my order no sign of my appetizer which also was shrimp mins and still no appetizer until a gentleman server swings by and asks if I'm ok. I just told him to cancel the appetizer since it took so long and he said he'd go check on it. I ask for the bill at the same time too. He comes back with the appetizer that I assume was ready this whole time and sure takes it off the bill but not without giving me attitude. The time was now 10:35pm and that's only when I got the bill and appetizer that I waited for a while on. Overall I just didn't feel welcomed at all and it seemed everyone had a problem with me being there. Idk if I'd go back which sucks cuz I loved outback read more

Terrible service, took almost an hour for my burger to arrive. Most of the servers were behind the bar socializing and nobody came by after one of the busboys delivered our food. Then when I opened my burger I noticed that it was completely burnt after ordering it medium-rare. I asked to speak to the manger and he did not seem to care one bit. The other issue was that one of the female servers sat behind my wife to speak to the customer who she obviously knew and they were both throwing F bombs right and left. Super unprofessional. read more

Came here yesterday for an early dinner late lunch. We arrived at 3:50pm. Lunch ends at 4:00pm. The waitress quickly sat us and said we could still get lunch. Look over the menu and I'll be back. She came back with bread and our drinks. We ordered ! I got the coconut shrimp with a side salad. My mom had steak and salad naturally we ordered a blooming onion. All was great. The 6 shrimp was better than the steak. A 5oz steak after cooking shrunk and was kind of tiny. I shared a shrimp lol. Service was great & friendly. The restaurant was quiet at that time and super clean. read more

You get one star because the waiter was very nice. Other than that, I wish I could give negative stars. It started with the drinks. The specialty drinks look so fabulous in the pictures, but what you get is a plain drink with a lime in it. And even though I paid an extra $3 for an extra shot, it was still very weak. I sent it back and ordered an apple drink, this one was pretty but taste like syrup. The margaritas here used to be great. We ordered Cadillac margaritas but they were weak. Normally they would be a brownish color if the Grand Marnier was added, but these drinks were clear like lemonade. All the food brought to the table was lukewarm. My soup was barely warm and just a small amount of it like 2 or 3 oz. The cob salad was served with a very thin bleu cheese dressing. The lobster tails were small and tasteless, a little salty. They were also lukewarm. The sirloin steak was the only thing that was cooked well and flavorful. The pecan brownie with ice cream was a weird texture. You didn't have to chew it, it just melts on your tongue. We usually go to dinner every Friday and/or Saturday night. This is our 3rd time coming to Outback, we will Not be back. read more

First timer to Outback :) first off the service was great! I sat in the bar area and the bar tender was very attentive to me. I ordered strawberry margarita and loved it, nicely made. For food I ordered the Mac n cheese, loaded baked potato and 8oz steak. I'm not going to lie the Mac and cheese was lacking flavor. Something about the cheese wasn't cheesy.. if that makes sense haha still ate it tho after I added pepper to it. The baked potato was ok wish my cheese was melted on. The steak was good! I have no complaints on it. I'd come back and give it another try again but with different items. read more

During pandemic we rediscovered Outback. This is primarily a takeout or delivery review of this location in Arcadia. I normally would never have a steak delivered. It just would never arrive at right temperature. But they are experts. We ordered steaks delivered three times during pandemic. Perfect every time. I mean perfect. Steaks were packed in special takeout boxes that maintained heat. Even with a 20 minute delivery time...they arrived and were just delicious. Don't hesitate to order delivery from this location. I think you'll be Pleasantly surprised. read more

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner with the hubs. We had a gift card, which was the primary reason why we came. Only a 5 minute wait for a party of 2! I ordered the ribeye, which came with 2 sides: I chose the baked potato and broccoli. Everything was decent. Hubs picked the bone in ribeye, which also came with 2 sides. He upgraded to a premium side of the wedge salad and a baked potato. The meat: the quality was not great and had a good amount of gristle. Even though hubs ordered it medium, it was rare. Kyle was an attentive waiter. The prices were expensive considering the quality. I probably won't be coming back unless I have another gift card. read more

Plenty of parking, and was seated quickly. The restaurant filled up quickly at 5:00 pm. Great salad, refreshing beer, and great baked potato. Steak was dry and had no flavor. It was hard it navigate my dinner when a regular diner was visiting and passing out goodie bags to everyone at the bar area. I won't be back for dinner again. And might consider lunch, but that's a wait to see. I'm still waiting for my napkins. Restaurant was a little on the cold side tonight. read more

Came here for the blooming onion since I was craving this after a long while of not having eaten it. I also ordered the Sirloin and Ribs combo as well as the Ribeye steak. It was not too busy and we were served within 20 mins of waiting and our waitress was attentive as well. Bloomin' Onion 4/5 -This satisfied my craving and it was exactly how I remembered it from years ago. No complaints but it was just a little too oily. I recommend to not take it home since the oils came out a lot the day after and it was not much edible anymore. The sauce was very good and complimented the dish well. Sirloin and Ribs 3/5 - I was very disappointed with this dish since the ribs that I received were about the size of my fingers with no meat on them whatsoever. The steak was cooked to a nice medium rare, but it was really tough to cut as it was not tender. Ribeye 3/5 - This was at least a tiny step above the sirloin and ribs as it was more tender than the former. However, a good portion of this steak was very fatty. It was not bad but not worth the price of eating out. Overall, I would only probably come here again for the blooming onion and the free bread that they serve since those were the ones that I enjoyed thoroughly. read more
