Well why I don't have an Outback review baffles me since we have been going there for probably 20 years. I've always thought their petite filet was always a solid choice. The gamble has been if the steak is cooked to perfection which could be hit or miss. Tonight was a hit with a nice blooming onion and the 6oz. Filet accompanied by a lobster tail for the entree. My wife order the same meal and both of us were delighted and our server, Ms. Sarah made the experience that much better. Great meal! read more

Outback Steakhouse - 6oz Victoria's Filet® Mignon* & Lobster - Steakhouses Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

First off the service was fantastic! Our waitress was on top of everything without having to ask for refills or boxes. Now the main star is the food! I personally got the 6 oz sirloin with Alice Springs Chicken. The steak was a perfect medium rare and the chicken was so juicy I was so shocked! The Delmonico my husband got was good but not as flavorful as the sirloin shockingly. The bloomin onion is a staple for a reason and always a must have! We did try their new fried mushrooms and they were ADDICTING so be careful ordering. I love that they dim the lights. It really sets the scene for a special dinner out! read more

We made a reservation for 5:30 PM for 5 people and requested a table - not a booth - to celebrate our son's birthday with his children/our grandchildren. Imagine our disappointment to see when we arrived to find them seated in a booth. They had already been served water and bread, so we stayed there. The server came over to ask us what we wanted to drink. She never introduced herself. We only wanted water, which she did bring promptly. We told her we were there to celebrate our son's 51st birthday. She even commented on his birthday card. There were several menus on the table already. We told her several times we were there for the $14.99 Aussie Special; yet when we each went to order she kept asking what special we were ordering - it became quite annoying. When I asked what the sides were, she told me they were in the main menu and gave me the menu and told me to look at them. As the print was too small for me, I asked her to tell me what the sides were. She seemed rather put out with my request. I ordered the House salad with Blue Cheese dressing and the Gold Coast Coconut Shrimp with a Sweet Potato as my side. Four in our party ordered the Bloomin Burger with fries, three had the Caesar salad to start, my husband had the Blue Cheese Pecan Chopped Salad to start, which had an upcharge. All said the Ceasar salads were very salty. My husband's and my salad were very crisp, fresh and good. All of their burgers were overcooked. My husband felt that the burgers were not made from fresh ground beef but were frozen patties. There were 8 large coconut shrimp that were hand-dipped in batter, rolled in coconut and fried golden and served with Creole marmalade. I thoroughly enjoyed my choice. At one point during the meal while clearing the salad plate, the server dropped the plate and hit my husband on the elbow and some of the residue fell out of the bowl. Fortunately, very little of the salad residue fell on my husband's pants - most of it fell on the bench and the floor. She did apologize; however, she did not wipe off the table or bother to look and see that it also fell on the bench. We had to clean off the table and the bench. Another problem, my husband had to ask her twice for water. When the bus boy finally brought water, he brought 5 new waters for the whole table - what a waste and not what was asked for. The $14.99 meal came with Cheesecake for dessert, which we all took home. To finish off a not-so-great evening, we had to use a mobile payment device that was sticky. After entering our credit card information, it prompted us to take a survey, which we were glad to complete but wonder how often do they clean these machines. read more

Excellent tasting food. Arrived hot and well packaged. Thank you! .

Our family went for dinner Sunday night. We like to go here because they have something for everyone. We had a reservation so we were sat immediately. Our waitress was excellent and very helpful. The food was good and prepared the way we requested. It was a little warm in there, but it was extremely hot outside so I think that was it. read more

4.5 stars. They had very good food, great service. And a good looking/feeling area. Also it had very good sandwiches

Our family stopped in for the steak dinner. We got seated quickly in the back of the restaurant by the kitchen. Everyone was screaming corner every minute. Our waiter was present and friendly. The table ordered the blooming onion, which I wasn't too crazy about. But I hear it's a crowd favorite. It just was a little too much for me. I ordered one thing but my food came out wrong, which was fine because it was still good, and they didn't up charge us for it or down charge us either. I had a side of potato soup which was so good. Also they made their broccoli side to perfection. I had the chicken which I am not crazy about. Everyone else at our table had the steak, and chicken parm and steak with lobster. They all really enjoyed what they had. The steak was cooked perfectly and it wasn't hard or chewy. Everyone was pleased. And it was not a loud place either. read more

Customer service - 2 out of 5 Wait time: 3 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 4 out of 5 Food quality - 4 out of 5 Title: Disappointing Labor Day Visit: Understaffing and Service Mishaps at Outback - A Customer's Perspective Review: Outback, what happened to the awesome customer service I always praised? We went on Labor Day for unlimited soup and salad, but left feeling let down. Our waiter, Austin, was friendly, but understaffing made us wait forever. A gloomy young lady brought our drinks, and when my wife asked for straws, she sharply said our waiter would give them. After a 10-minute wait, we finally got the straws. We didn't receive side plates with the complimentary bread, and refills were forgotten. On the bright side, the soup and salad came out quickly. My wife was given too much change after paying the bill, and we struggled to get Austin's attention. The unhelpful young lady ignored us until we raised our voices. We explained the mistake, but she walked away without a word. After another 10-minute wait, our waiter finally resolved the issue. Outback, please retrain your staff on customer service and have enough employees on holidays. Score: 18 out of 25 stars = C- Verdict: overall still recommend read more

Unfortunately this place has gone downhill since Red Lobster is no longer across the street, lessening their competition. The staff is friendly , however our server Zach was more interested in the football game than serving his tables. There were only 2 of us and we waited 10 mins for him to even come over. He took our drink orders and a runner brought them out. Another person brought the bread. We hadn't even been able to order apps yet. Zach then came over and took our app order, we were ready to order dinner but he didn't want that order yet. This was 4:30 on a Saturday night so it wasn't that busy and the kitchen didn't appear to be backed up. It took another 15 mins, our app was brought out by yet another runner, we finished eating the app (Mac and cheese balls, amazing!) and then we had to catch him and ask HIM if we could place our dinner order. We've never had that happen before. And other tables around us were making comments as well as to where he was. My husband said he sees him standing in the corner, watching TV. Unacceptable. The food was amazing, and like I said staff were friendly but perhaps the server training needs to be looked at for review. read more

Food was excellent. I hadn't eaten at outback in a couple months because I had a bad meal but tonight was great. I got an Aussie fry and asked for extra ranch. The fries were great and they gave me two extra ranch. The soup was delicious and the steak was perfect. So glad i gave them another try. read more

We were seated quickly with our reservation. We even came a very minutes early. Tables are very nice. Server was amazing THANK YOU Spencer !!! Appetizers came out extremely fast. One thing I have a bone to pick with is the strange Australian names for food. The Boomerang gives me no context on what the meal is. The chili was good, but the meat in it was eh. Very fatty. Good steak. Almost chocked. Great place! read more

The experience was great and the food was amazing. We were there early and the food was brought out on time. It was delicious.

I came to Outback for their Blooming Onion and it was everything I expected! The price and portion was definitely worth it. Only $9.99 for a whole plate of onions? Such a steal! The service was very friendly! I was seated very quickly and my food came out just as fast. The waitor was nice enough to give me 2 extra servings of their complimentary bread! I'm so excited to come back again to get the Blooming Onion and try other items on their menu. read more

Outback Steak House is Out Front of the Competition My wife and I had dinner tonight at the Outback Steak House in Bel Air Maryland. I want to give them a big shout out for everything they did and more importantly, how they do, what they do. First a huge shout out goes to Kelsey (Chelsea is her real name, inside joke) for her attentiveness and patience, especially when my wife was slow to decide the type of burger she wanted. Secondly, a funny shout out to the manager Patrick, for his warm smile and quick wit. He had the both of us cracking up, in stitches, no lie. He told us to mispronounce Chelsea's name as a joke and she didn't flinch! Thirdly, an appreciative shout out to the staff that did the "little things" like a well-oiled machine. Specifically, a courteous shout out to the folks that: * brought the drinks to the table, they were like silent ninjas, quick and efficient * brought entrées to the table, they were like skilled craftsmen, confident yet courteous * cleared the table continuously, they were fast but not furious This is a well-deserved review because the service was FLAWLESS. Oh, and by the way, the food was EXCELLENT! read more

My wife, daughter and I came here on 12/30 around 7:30pm for dinner. The restaurant was was not busy at all when we arrived. Our order consisted of 2 Cokes and a Sweet Tea for beverages, Boomerang Mozzarella Sticks for an appetizer, a childs cheeseburger w/fries, Teriyaki Filet Skewers cooked Medium w/Rice & Broccoli and a 6oz. Sirloin cooked Medium Well w/Sweet Potato and Vegetables for our entrees. Our server was extremely slow, never checked on our food to see if it was cooked correctly, never offered refills and was constantly seen talking with other employees while on her phone. The cheeseburger was barely cooked to a Medium temperature which caused my daughter to not eat it, the Sirloin steak was charred and overcooked, causing most of it to be thrown away and the Skewers were undercooked and full of gristle. The rice was bland (consistency of a 90 second bag of Minute Rice) and the sauce was so salty that it made the entire dish barely edible. Best part of the entree was the broccoli. This restaurants food and service has been extremely bad our last 3 visits. Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn Steakhouse would have been a much better option, but my wife wanted to go here. An absolute waste of $75. The manager of this establishment should be ashamed of themselves, but I seriously doubt they care what a paying customer thinks or says. Returning to this location is highly unlikely after this last experience. read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "we're never disappointed when my adventuring party goes to Outback Steakhouse." Service was prompt and courteous. Our server recommended the Wallabee Darned and, as a not drinker, I was immediately way more fun in my own mind. Definitely should have written this review at that point when ALL of my thoughts were passing every insight check. My beige food loving youngest eats steak here as well as broccoli, and my husband usually finds something on the wine menu that he likes without complaint. Normally, he prattles on about tannins and which wine pairs well with which steak, but not at Outback. There must be some enchantment on this place. read more

Every thing was delicious!! Excellent! Cooked just right carefully wrapped for carry out and looked so appealing.

I'm not sure who actually reads these, but there was a person today at the Bel Air Outback that went above and beyond. I was there just to pickup the Veterans Day Bloomin' Onion. When the person handling take-out heard that my father-in-law was coming home for hospice care and I was just grabbing food to take care of my family for the day, he showed an extreme amount of kindness. I wasn't even paying but he included several extras for my family and I was just floored. It's been a while since I have experienced genuine human kindness and I just wanted to share. read more

Growing up in this town, outback was a staple in our monthly eating out regimen. Love the wings, don't change the kukuburough wings recipe at all! Mom loved the French onion served in a little croque that broils the cheese up nice and crispy. Def one of the consistent chain restaurants in the area! Jake n kevin read more

We have always liked Outback & the service has always been great. The food always enjoyable.

I love the baby back ribs here but the last time we went there I tried their new pork chop, its hard, kinda gummy, even my husband didn't really like. Definitely not ordering it again, the blooming onion is salty that we barely touched it. read more

Day after Christmas we were seated quickly Bryan our server amazing simply amazing took care of everything got our food in a timely manner enjoyed the atmosphere with plenty of social distancing. The bread is always a must. Tried the new steak and cheese dish it was super cheesy with the Gouda peppers and onions. They had a new chicken fried dish and honestly it tasted like they're spin on Popeyes chicken sandwich yet this one is waaaayy juicier here and I like the sauce the Mac is definitely worth paying extra for. Steak was perfect with a touch of a1. The coconut shrimp was the cherry on top of this perfect meal we left so happy and full the experience gets better and better every time we come read more

Just had lunch at Outback Steakhouse in Bel Air with 4 other friends. Not only was the food very good, restaurant was clean, waters and waitresses congenial, but our waiter, Tanner, was exceptional. He was an excellent waiter, polite, patient (we're 5 old ladies), made sure we all were satisfied with our orders, promptly attend to our requests and needs, cheerful and personable. He helped make our visit very pleasant, and we intend to ask for him every time we visit. If possible we'd give Tanner 10 stars or more. Thank you Tanner. read more

Is it weird I feel a little "off" recommending a chain restaurant? Idk, but here we go... Look. I like steak. Steak is good. And no, you are not going to go to Outback for the thickest cut or a mind blowing meal. But, you will get consistency. The blooming onion is classic, and it holds up. Order it, put it in the middle of the table and watch any hesitant guests reach for a pedal, and a second... Steaks are cooked well and reliable. Chicken dishes are good. Salads are good. Beers are cold. And they have a few delectable desserts too. It's not my first choice for dining out, and if I wanna killer steak I make it myself. But, if you find yourself looking for a steak dinner, better to go here and know you'll get a decent meal than waste your money on a lesser competitor. I mean, if you want to spend a LOT of money on a steak dinner go ahead, but my middle-class self is happy feeding a family of 4 at Outback!! read more

I had the sirloin/lobster combo. The steak was full of fat and the the lobster was rubbery. Even the baked notation was nasty and like warm. The butter on the potato didn't even melt. When I complained to the manager he argued that there was no way my steak and potato was what I said. I told him to eat it. Please! I only went here because my daughter wanted to. Never again. read more

Once a month, Hubby and i do a date night where we role play. Outback is the easiest because one of us pretends to be Austrian. Anyway mate, the bloomin onion never disappoints or their shrimp on the barbie is to die for. Highly recommend getting a skillet cookie for desert! read more

4/5 because of the wait. Did the "call ahead" seating but I don't believe it sped up our 45 minute wait. Luckily the server saved the day by being extremely polite and attentive. The steak was a little fatty but still very tasty. read more
