Really good variety of menu items, all quite delicious. I love their sirloin with a loaded baked potato and Caesar salad. Their chili and potato soup are great options too. My older son loves their ribs. My whole family loves their cheesecake with raspberry sauce, too. Attentive, cheerful service. read more

Outback Steakhouse was the one chain I saw constantly on TV growing up, but we never actually went as a family because it was more expensive compared to other casual American chains. A couple Mondays ago, my friends really wanted to get Outback for dinner. To our surprise, there was one a mile away, though the short drive was filled with my friends chanting "Bloomin' Onion, Bloomin' Onion!" in Australian accents so bad I'm surprised a kangaroo didn't hop out and punch them. I've honestly never heard of the Bloomin' Onion before this. As soon as our server arrived, my friend ordered the Bloomin' Onion without a second thought. What we ordered appeared to be the quintessential American appetizer. An onion sliced into the shape of fries, deep-fried, and arranged to look like a wilted flower of grease with some creamy sauce in the middle. It looked like a bunch of witch's claws assembled together. This might be a way to get some vegetables in your diet, but I don't think that's how it works. Looks wise, I wasn't impressed, but my friends had the biggest grins on their faces as they wolfed it down piece by piece. I hesitantly tried one, and I had to admit, it was quite good. It was well-battered, perfectly seasoned and crispy. However, I had to stop myself. I knew if I kept going, I'd be taking a long trip to the bathroom the next morning (and I know my friends took multiple). We also ordered a few other entrees, which took a long time to arrive. I wasn't hungry enough to join in, but my friends chowed down their steaks and salmons with ease, despite the lackluster quality. It's clear there's a huge nostalgia factor at play, and I'm glad my friends got to relive fond childhood memories of eating the most ungodly version of an onion ever created. read more

Upon arriving I asked fo jalapenos Tristan said we don't have any jalapenos okay next up the meat ... I boldly expressed well done it was not... more like rare not well done at all I'm gravely disappointed I will not be returning sadly to say the least your bread however was spot on read more

I always have a great time at this location, the staff are nice, funny and engaging. I came here recently after hearing they do "tail tuesdays" where they have a nice special of steak, a lobster tail, and a choice of two sides. I got my usual 6 oz sirloin, with a loaded baked potato without bacon, and sautéed mushrooms. However, the tail tuesday was only about $10 more than my order, so I will have to try it next time. read more

Past review when I was visiting the NOVA area. We found this Outback, in a nice location, off the beaten path. As with other restaurants in their chain...they always provide great service! The interior was clean and had the standard Outback layout. Their food and their servers were quick...cold drinks and hot food! read more

The fries are good, but everything else is bad The food is sometimes cold too. and the service is terrible. and the ambience is fine

I never had a bad day here! Every time I decide to dine in the front house seats me right away and the server attends immediately. My order never came out wrong and the steak was always cooked to my request. The sides were delicious! I enjoyed my sweet potato! Comes with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Please note, you can request it on the side. As for the menu, don't forget to check out their specials! Great for couples and families! If you're seeking for a nice casual dinner, this location is super friendly. The lighting is dim but each table has a spotlight to brighten your experience. The reason for a one star down, would be nice if the front house could be upbeat and welcoming. Have a smile. read more

Outback Steakhouse - 3 course meal 6oz sirloin with sweet potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I had a filet migeon take out baked potato was cooked all day tuff dark. Filet was suppose to medium it was over cooked and dry. Carrot cake was not as fresh as I have had before there. I was there at the drive thru pickup didn't see alot of business. Obviously the food quality has degraded. Do they really think that your going to go back to that location for the next steak? Just because you not in the dining room seated and you could complain let's slip the ole food out to the drive pick up patrons. Good luck definity will look elsewhere to get a filet next time. The. They wid wonder where their business went. Food quality is key in that business. Probably won't go back there. It's not the first time for lousy food quality from there. Yesterday was the breaking point. I have tried Outback in Herndon location and I seen to have always been pleased. Definitely operated with different management. read more

Outback has been my jam this past year- they've upped their game and their takeout has been great along with our experience at the bar. We love the bartender- he's hilarious and has great service. The breaded mushrooms and Aussie fries are our favorite apps. We love the smoked old fashion and some of their signature cocktails. The breaded chicken with the bloomin breading is fantastic! The steaks have been perfect recently as well. Baked sweet potato's or baked potato soup are always fantastic. Don't sleep on this spot because it changed. It wasn't that great 5 years ago but in the past year, they have been exceeding my expectations. read more

I was surprised to see such a wild smattering of reviews when I clicked on this location to write mine. My partner and I had a wonderful experience here. All the way from the service, to the ambiance, to the quality of our food and drinks! We said it was one of the best Outback locations we have been to when we got into the car. You can see how delicious my steak looks in the photo! That said, clearly people's experiences vary - maybe depending on the staff? Who knows. But, my partner and I will be returning! read more

I'm not sure why this has 3 stars, I pickup food from here a lot and always get the same thing. Very grateful they don't use seed oils and instead use beef tallow on the fries, which not a lot of restaurants do The 18oz Ribeye for $35 is an absolute steal and price to value wise, I've yet to see any place do better than that! read more

Does....anybody still work there??? Like was it closed? There was a group of people waiting to be seated, no host. I didn't see a single waiter/waitress walking around. I saw several patrons with no food in front of them. Bartender was nowhere to be found. I saw one guy get served at the bar and the server scurried away as quick as he could. Waited for 10 mins, walked out. read more

Good prices, good food, you know what you are gonna get when you choose to eat at Outback! 1. Pumpernickel bread with butter. Yes. Free. Can't beat it. 2. Blooming onion. Ok...I remember it tasting better, but still good and 10.99. Doesn't break the bank, is the fried app you need. 3. Steak and coconut shrimp entree...I mean....yes. This was $24 for a 6oz steak and 4 delicious shrimp AND a side. Next time I think I'll get the coco shrimp appetizer they were that good. Perfect for big groups and there is free parking in front. read more

We stopped here last night for dinner, everything was great except by the very end when we sat for about 20 minutes with a pile of plates in between us. I have no complain about food, and service was fine but who is supposed to buss the tables and take the plates? We even piled as best as we could to make it easier but no one took them. Restaurant wasn't busy, they really need to improve on this aspect, it is very annoying to have dirty plates in front of us for such a long period of time. read more

Take away delivery. Put in comments requesting honey mustard even asked the woman dropping off food who lied to my face about it being in there. Food was 30min after estimated. I would never order pick up from them again read more

I love the "Aussie steakhouse" ambiance, but let's be real - I keep coming back for the food, especially the steaks! I haven't found better in NoVA without getting into really expensive places where I might not feel as comfortable dropping by after work. read more

I had not been to an Outback in a number of years. I am so glad I came tonight. Everything was really tasty, and service was great. I ordered the Queensland chicken and shrimp alfredo pasta. It was really good. My companion ordered the sirloin and Alice Springs chicken. It was so so good! It came with two sides, he got a wedge salad and loaded baked potato. I love that wedge salad! We also ordered a Bloomin onion, delicious. We ordered it with a side of ranch dressing, which made it even more delicious. The bread with honey butter, and the fountain Cokes both were really good, too. read more

I absolutely love outback, being from the DMV area it was already hard to find a non expensive steakhouse for a bigger group, the food here is absolutely superb you just gotta know what to order, personally the prime rib and the filet are some highlights from me, as well the sautéed mushrooms are delicious and those fries are to die for. The service while slow sometimes is very promising the workers are fast 99% of the time and free refills are plentiful, the ambiance can be loud but generally a great steak place! read more

I had been craving some outback but didn't want to sit down and eat it there. Especially on a Saturday evening. So I ordered curbside... I pull up and see a sign plastered on all the doors. Cant really read it from my car but I zoomed in on it with my camera...says their oven is out order and no baked potatoes can be made. I was bummed because 1. I actually enjoy them 2. I ordered one. So after sitting and waiting for someone to come back to the area, I paid and got my food. Now they still havent mentioned there arent any baked potatoes. But have handed me my food like its one in there. Fortunately I always check before I leave the restaurant because it wasnt in there. (Which I had assumed by then after seeing the sign) but there also wasnt a substitution or another side. I eventually end up alerting the staff and he was actually very nice during the whole process. I put in an order for a side salad. Thats took 20mins to come out. (After already receiving my food) the to go station worker came back out to let me know there was a long wait due to the restaurant being busy... Have to say this definitely didnt make my day. Please do better. read more

Let me begin with our server at the bar, he was really entertaining and enjoyable the service was quick and the appetizers were hot and very good. The main meal was at best terrible. I got the 11oz Center-cut sirloin and it was cooked medium which is what I asked for buttttttt it tasted like the cooks just washed the grill and my steak tasted like soap, the fries burned my mouth due to how much salt was on them. The steak was the biggest disappointment and I will not be back, and I'll let friends know not to get steak there..... read more

Went here for a lil spontaneous date night, we had the cutest and friendliest server named Rosa. Omg I love her! She's always smiling and on top of her drinks refill game. She was quick on her meal recommendations. She made our Outback dinner experience extra enjoyable and would definitely come back and request Rosa read more

We had a very friendly and attentive server named Rosa. She was knowledgeable of the menu and was patient.

Haven't been to Outback in years and decided to try it out with my boyfriend today. Wasn't really expect much since the last time I went was pretty bad. We got seated fairly quick and upon seating I stepped on a chunk of steak that was on the floor. It was pretty disgusting so I asked the waiter if he could get someone to take care of that. He decided to pick it up with his bare hands. Pretty unsanitary in my opinion? Anyways, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he washed his hands after. We weren't in the mood for steak so we went with the Aussie fries and the chicken wings. To my surprise, the chicken wings were amazing! They were super flavorful, you can see the seasoning on the skin. It was quite small, but very delicious nonetheless! The aussie fries were just alright. I think they could have used a bit more seasoning, however, dipped in the homemade ranch made it way better! For dessert we tried the new thunder and lightning. It was essentially a pecan brownie with a butter cake and icecream on top. The presentation was disappointing. It looked nothing like the picture on the menu, the butter cake was smaller and the whip cream was on the side. The brownie was a bit underwhelming but the butter cake tasted really good! It was a bit dense but other than that it tasted great. Overall, I would def come back for the aussie fries and chicken wings. I feel like people only look to get the steak here but the other options are just as good! read more

Outback Steakhouse - The boys! - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I am updating my review and it's 5 stars because of the amazing customer service we received from Jared, yesterday evening. He was phenomenal. He was attentive, proactive, engaging, accurate, friendly etc. His service made me want to dine in more often. Thank you, Jared for your hospitality and kindness. In addition to the customer service, and honestly, the other staff members were friendly as well, but our food was really good last night. Appetizer: layered bacon and cheese fries Entrée #1: sirloin, sweet potato and salad--- Jared notice the toppings on the sweet potato were a little skimp, he took it upon himself to bring my mom some extra Entrée #2: pork chops with rice and broccoli It comes with a honey mustard glaze but I asked for the toowoomba (sp) topping. I didn't realize it came with the glaze. When I completed my order Jared suggested getting both on the side because he wasn't sure I would like the flavors together. He was right! I actually didn't care for the glaze and it would've ruined the meal for me. Drink: sweet tea I look forward to our next visit! read more

The food was Outback yummy but the portions are significantly smaller than five years ago. Probably for the best. The staff was helpful and timely. The women's bathroom was a disaster. I saw a group of staff members sitting at a table on my way back from the bathroom. I told them the issues. They did respond but were not enthusiastic. Not sure this restaurant will last. read more

The service here is 5-Star. Jared was exceptional. He gave amazing recommendations and was incredibly knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the food as well! Definitely recommend this location. Every single person that has served us here has been amazing! We will definitely be back. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Spicy mango margarita - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This was a delivered meal, so this is a food only review Obviously there is going to be a degradation of quality due to the fact thats its being transported. But this was bad... the French onion soup was so salty it was inedible, the bread was rock hard, and the Bone-In Ribeye* 18 oz. was tasteless - that could have used some salt. the loaded mashed potatoes had no toppings with them, and were lumpy with an odd taste. the entire meal was unappetizing and a waste of time and money read more

Pleasantly surprised by my experience with takeout here! Honestly, I expected the food to be bland, over salted, and overcooked. It's just another chain restaurant, right? Instead, the meal far exceeded my expectations. I ordered a Melbourne steak, bloomin' onion, and wings for takeout. The online ordering system and curbside pickup was fast. (Nothing fancy, you just drive up and someone comes out to ask about your order.) The food was better than what I've had from even some fancy places. The steak was well seasoned and tender. It came with a potato and salad. The wings were also well seasoned and good sized. The onion held up remarkably well for takeout. I'm not a regular Outback customer, but I'd definitely order from this location again when I have a craving. read more

it is really old fashioned place. Food taste okay but not as delicious as what we paid for the price. The waiter was not professional at all. read more

The only steak ok is the Prime Rib. Onion blossom and fry mushroom are good. The kid mac and cheese is lack of cheese sauce. Service is nice. read more

Probably the best server (Jared C.) I have had in years. He was very attentive and professional. Our entire table was surprised since it not a common these days. He made sure everything was perfect. The food was good but the service was top tier. It was like having dinner at Bourbon steak at the Four Seasons. read more

Just came in for lunch with my family. I had the unlimited soup and salad, my wife had the strawberry salad, and my kids each had steak and various forms of potatoes. All the food very good, though some might be a little overseasoned. I especially liked the chili and the baked potato soup. We decided to get dessert this holiday weekend and tried the kids ice cream sundae and salted caramel cookie. Both were fantastic! Service was also great. Jared was very friendly and refilled our drinks before we needed them. read more

Just want to give a shoutout to our server Jared C! First off, he was quick to greet us and ask for a drink order and tell us about the specials. He returned promptly with the drinks and our bread and took our dinner order, giving us some great suggestions along the way. He personally brought our orders and checked on us several times. When we go back, we are planning on sitting in Jared's section again! read more

We have been longtime Outback fans. While in the past we been bummed at times by the service at this location, things have noticeably turned around on our last several visits. The service and food have been awesome the past several months and especially tonight. We came in for a mid-week dinner amidst one of the hardest weeks of our lives. We arrived weary, in need of a good meal and cozy booth to rest. The atmosphere here tends to be a fun one, but our waiter read our need for a quiet pause. Jared is an affable and skilled server who seems to enjoy his job--and is incredibly good at it. He went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, our drinks were never empty, and our dinner was perfect. Jared had no idea what we were going through, but he absolutely spoiled us with amazing service. Sirloins are always delicious here and are our go-to order. Tonight, I tried the lobster mac & cheese as a side and it was a perfect compliment to the steak. 10/10 recommend. The baked potato soup, loaded baked potato, and any salad with blue cheese *vinaigrette* are also favorites. Perfect spot for a mid-week meal that doesn't break the bank. read more

This fine establishment seated me and my company of 35 amigos. The service was impeccable: kind souls serving carefully curated culinary creations. I teared into my rack of ribs with reckless abandon and enjoyed every bite. A few scratches were evident, however, on this shining gem of a restaurant. A steak served to a member of my party had the mouth-feel of gum stuck under a school-boy's desk for months--disappointing--.Overall, you can get a meal here, but don't expect something that would restore your broken marriage to what it once was. Sincerely, Barry B. read more
