Such a fun and awesome experience eating here. The wings are RLLY good and the pecan and blue cheese salad was a favorite!!! Highly recommend. Our server was super friendly and the place had a nice ambiance read more

Tried the new menu put out for Valentine's Day by ordering with Delmonico Rib Eye steaks priced at $34 with two sides. We ordered both with medium heat. Mine came out medium-well to well-done and my friend's was almost raw. His was a thick cut steak (not necessarily a rib eye) while mine looked like a regular ribeye. The manager offered to redo mine and heat the other up to medium. The raw steak returned just as red as it was at first. Mine took forever and was still cooking 30 minutes after close. When it arrived, it was burnt worse than before. She said she used the fire-grill since they were supposed to be cooked that way. The sad thing about these supposed Delmonico Rib Eye steaks is that they don't have the right marking for a Rib Eye since they are a mangled bunch of muscular meat which is spongy and very hard to chew, which is not characteristics of a Delmonico steak. The manager felt bad about the steaks which were inedible and removed it from the bill. I left after nearly an hour and a half with salad and a sweet potato. The bread was yummy as usual while the onion petals were dry. Apparently this is a new menu item so maybe there is a learning curve, but Valentine's Day is only two days away. Wouldn't chance it on the day. read more

Hard for me capitulate how I feel about this place. I have avoided it for years because when it comes to chain sit down restaurants this has never been at the top of the list for me. It's not for the fact I don't like the food. Just never believed it lived up to its price tag. When we first entered the restaurant it was slammed packed. Not an empty table. We waited to get seated but not too long, 20 minutes tops. This process is standard and in my mind a good sign of a healthy restaurant. We placed our orders and were promptly served drinks and bread. Appetizer took awhile to come out but that's okay. I am unsure if there is just chaos here in the kitchen or between the servers but we constantly had the wrong food brought out to us. Waitress was okay but very inattentive. And a little milquetoast in demeanor. Food was very good. And shockingly better than I had remembered. I definitely ate more than I needed to here. But the prices are just astronomical. I can eat at its competition for a much lower price. I would love to go here more often but would rather spend my money at a higher quality local steak house in almost any other setting. read more

I ordered thru Uber Eats! Ordered three dishes. 2 orders came with wrong side orders. $100 I paid. The steak was so hard when I asked for rare. I dont know what soup came. And the Caesar salad had wilted greens. The chicken was so hard. I felt bad for my $100 but I had to throw away most of them. Uber only gave me back $5 credit for wrong order. First time trying Outback, since we have many choices in LA. But only a few here at CHO so decided to try. Never again with Outback and Uber. read more

their new chef is amazing. They actually care about what they give to the customer. The food is very consistent and very good and they know the difference between a medium and a well done stick ups to the Chef. read more

My family of 9 chose Outback for a celebration. Betty was our Server & she was professional, friendly & had good recommendations. We ordered a Blooming Onion, Artichoke dip & Mushrooms for the table, & all were excellent. My Ribeye was fantastic, the Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection. A few at the table had the Outback burger, delish! I tried the Espresso Martini, we were served Prosecco, beers & Dirty Martins. Our drinks were tasty. Almost too full for dessert Betty suggested the Chocolate Tower cake & it was superb. It had been several years since I had been to Outback & the restaurant did not disappoint. Get out there Mates and get your Outback food and fun going! Oh and ask for Betty. read more

This place has gone down after one of the managers left to OBS in waynesboro after maternity leave! We miss her! Service is poor and how they treat their waitress by stripping them of 30 percent of their tips which forces them to try to run up the bill!! Food quality is corporate style! We stay away from steaks because its quality doesn't equal to what is paid ! read more

JR was an excellent waitress with good recommendations and timely service. All that on a busy Friday night. Food came to the table as ordered...no surprise. Thanks! read more

We love to get takeout from here! We live near by and are always happy with the food and service we get for to-go orders!

Had the kindest waitress who was so attentive and speedy! All of our food came out so fast and perfectly made. Restaurant is kept very clean and had plenty of seating available when we were there. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouse Salad* - Steakhouses Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Nothing was missing, everything was packaged nicely and preserved it's freshness for travel (french onion soup, for example - bread and cheese was packed separately from the soup, the cheese was even lightly toasted). Order ready on time read more

My wife and I arrived at 9:20pm, we were told that it will be a 20 minute wait because they were very busy, we agreed. After waiting 45 minutes we were told that if we were seated it would take too long for someone to take our order and could not be served because it would be to close to closing time. Workers were VERY unprofessional snd appeared that they DID NOT want to work. read more

This location's puts forth the effort of a business that is on its way out... Our waitress was weak on the typical service details. I ordered a special with a filet mignon and it ate like a New York steak, not fatty at rib-eye level, but greasy enough that I couldn't finish it. Our Brussels sprouts sat in half an inch of oil/grease. I've extraordinarily high cholesterol and eat red meat sparingly and thus always, a filet mignon. This was certainly a cheaper cut. Between a couple bites of the Brussels sprouts and the steak, there was no need to apply a lip product for the rest of the evening. The bathroom floor was sticky, toilet seat were dirty and there were no toilet seat covers. It was a very 3rd world country experience. We shall not be returning, ever... read more

Did pickup order. Outstanding portions, order was correct, and service with a smile. Will definitely order again.

I placed an order online for store pick up. I sat in the pickup parking space for 30 minutes until I realized I was at the wrong restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I rushed to the correct restaurant. My food was brought out promptly & I was greeted with a smile. The service & food was excellent. read more

My margareta was a premium came in a 3 oz glass and mostly ice, coffee was cold, wedge salad had to much dressing and the rest of my party didnt have enough to coat thier lettuce Steak was good but very $$$. Texas Roadhouse is a better deal. Drinks are bigger,better, and portions good with everything included and not ala carte. Going out is costly enough but for the money spent try texas Brazil in Richmond it is all you can eat meat and you will spend the same amount of $$$ read more

Took a friend to lunch. Will never eat there again or recommend to anyone. The rice tasked like it was boiled in dishwater. The barbeque sauce was watery and tasteless. The broccoli was soggy and tasteless. The whole meal was unappetizing. read more

Decided to book last minute on Valentine's day. Had a wait time set for 7:15, was seated by 7:20, and left about 8:35 with a full belly & very satisfied with my extremely short wait due to how busy they were! After a long day of work the short wait time really made my day. I appreciate our server whose name i cant remember:( but she was working so hard. Food was amazing & accurate. read more

We had our food Togo and the food was packaged perfectly and everything was still hot by the time we made home. Didn't get any names but the Togo staff was friendly and efficient. Thanks Outback read more

I read the reviews on here before going, and most of the negative reviews are related to poor service. They are accurate, Kristen R was high or drunk. She messed up almost every order. Everything had a 30 min wait time including getting drinks...and then drink corrections. Our table rapidly became cluttered because Kristen didn't take things away after bringing new things and when she finally cleared the table she kept dropping stuff on everyone. Kristen handed us the card reader and just left the table when we were ready to pay....why? There was something wrong with everyone's order. I ordered my meat medium rare but it came out closer to blue than rare....and it was cold. Something that is supposed to come with the order, came 30 mins into my dinner. And our bill was over 150$.....ABSOLUTELY not worth it. The problems seem to be staff related which indicates poor managerial decisions and poor management. read more

My husband and I decided that we wanted to treat ourselves to dinner after more than a year of not eating out. We do enjoy the occasional steak but do follow recent health warnings about the dangers of consumption of red meat. The steaks were good and cooked well, I ordered a salad with Blue Cheese dressing. There was about 1/2 cup of dressing on the salad and that made it inedible. I don't send food back unless it is undercooked so I just pushed the salad aside. Management may want to consider putting salad dressing on the side of the salad so that patrons can control how much they use. With today's economy, everyone's pinching dollars and smart consumers are no longer loyal to chain restaurants like they used to be, it's a sign of the times. I will say that our server Betty was great! She was polite and made sure our experience was pleasurable. We won't be returning for another go round, too expensive and wasteful. read more

I ordered takeout from them and got the steak & tails, and blooming onion, and sides of mac and cheese and baked potato. It was very good and everything came on time still warm! Mac and cheese is well seasoned and steak was very good! read more

The Service was awesome !! JD was the best !! Blooming onion was the bomb. Steak, shrimp, pasta was good food. Our drinks were perfect. Enjoyed my visit to this steakhouse. read more

Have been here about five times this year, previous four times were fine. The most recent visit was horrible. The waitress was impatient and rude to our table, while significantly more patient and nicer to the table next to us. This experience was most outrageous when she flipped over entire ranch cup and spilling half of it on my hand and clothes then ran off without realizing anything. Had to go clean up right away so nothing sticks in my clothes, meanwhile, the waitress just did not pay attention to the mess she caused. Will not come here again. read more

Service was absolutely horrible....after waiting almost 30 min for our meal we were served somebody else's order and then encouraged to keep it but pay full price when we refused They did remake our order serving each guess at different times. Nobody ate together. Serving time was spread over 30-60 min each and served cold. Filets were actually tuff , grizzled and tasteless. Very poor quality beef. Margaritas's were horrible. Spent 2 hrs trying to get a meal for myself, husband and daughter the bill was right at $200.00. What a disappointment this restaurant was. They did offer a free Blooming Onion for their horrible food and service. LOL The trick was it couldn't be used for this horrible visit. I would have to come back for another visitor to redeem my blooming opinion coupon. Hey GuysNo Thanks.....keep your onion!!! I'll never go back!! read more

This place is a complete disaster. Zero management, zero customer service, and arrogance to boot. Went with our family and it took close to 20 minutes just to take our order and then server would only take drinks and refused to take our food order. Ok, but then close to another 15-20 minutes to get waters and iced tea. Then asked for the cheese pasta (which we have ordered at least 50 times at Outback locations all over the east coast). Server said not possible. At that point - we left. We have young kids. Zero effort and no situational awareness. Place is a joke - servers clueless, no motivation. Only answer is management is horrible. Can't understand how this is even allowed. Left and then called to ask for a manager. No one ever came to phone. None of this represents the brand well. NEVER going there again. read more

I hadn't been to this restaurant in a very long time and, unfortunately, I remembered why. First of all, the good: - The Hostess sat me down almost immediately and she brought me that pumpernickel bread and butter soon after. - The baked potato and the shrimp was decent (nothing to rave about). Now the bad: - It was almost 10-minutes after I was seated before the Server (Lisa?) came over to get any of my drink order (I gave her my main order at that time as well). - Then it took about another 5-minutes before she brought me my iced tea. Unfortunately, my main course arrived before the soup. The individual who brought it out asked me if I was supposed to get a salad or something. I told him I had ordered French Onion soup and he apologized. The Server finally brought me the soup when I was well into eating my steak. - My medium-rare sirloin was overcooked on the surface and lacked any kind of taste. I thought Outback seasoned their steaks? It was chewy as heck until I trimmed off the overcooked surface. Only then could I force myself to finish consuming it. - The Server leaned OVER my meal when she was returning my refilled iced tea. - I asked for something to package the soup in to go. The Server insisted on taking the soup anad doing it herself (mistake!!). Upon getting home, as soon as I walked though my door, the paper bag ripped and the accompanying picture shows what became of the French Onion soup. It looks like the container's cover was not properly secured and it started leaking whil I was riding home. I also had to clean out the inside of the case that carried it and had to wash the other items that contained it. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!! I am never going back to this establishment even if someone were to give me a gift card. read more

Picked up food to go was constipated on getting food again from you guys last couple times was not that great my mother's on the hospice so she wanted potato soup she said it wasn't as good as it used to be I also ordered a thing of wings that look burnt so I sent those back and I got the chicken alfredo and that was a little bit too spicy for me the bread is always good so I don't think I will be doing a to go order anymore I guess I dine in if I decide to do that but the gentleman that brought my food to my car he was very nice and I took them well so that was $33 worth of food wasted read more

Well... people answer the phone but do not transfer so you can order. So if you can't order you can't eat. So I'm not chasing folk to spend my money. Went to Food Lion got more bang for my buck and less stress ordering their fried chicken!!! Way to go Food Lion. Uggggg to Out Back you really bombed!!! read more

Held off writing this but after visiting the Outback on 4th St N in St Petersburg and getting treated like a special guest even though they were really busy I decided to comment. My granddaughter and I went to the Seminole Outback on July 20th to celebrate her 16th birthday. We had no problem with the food. It was as expected for Outback. But, the service was terrible. The server acted as if she did not want to be at work. No welcome to Outback, not even a smile. The food was brought with absolutely no smile or "enjoy". When I told her it was my granddaughter's birthday, she just commented "oh" and walked away. At the end of the meal she asked what dessert she wanted and we had to ask what do you have. When she brought the dessert, she sat it down without smile or word and walked away. I did tip her the 20% because I figured someone that unhappy must need it. So sorry, I know Outback does not want to have this type of reputation. I remember the days when the company was new in St. Pete. The servers were happy or at least acted as they enjoyed the job and waiting on you!. Bella R. read more

Well the wait staff was great and that is where the food stopped. The quality of steak here is just so poor and the taste is meh. I never use steak sauce, but I did here. Normally I enjoy my steak with salt, pepper, garlic and butter, but that requires a halfway decent steak. read more

Unlike most (for being a steakhouse) I come here for the bloomin onion burger. It has great sauce, a good amount of onion, and well cooked patties that could compete with their steaks. Service isn't bland, but nothing to write home about either. Last few times it seems they are short staffed or cutting payroll judging by the lack of staff. Also concerning is the amount of time spent standing around appearing to have not much to do. But I don't expect luxury accommodations so it's not a huge deal. Overall, would recommend if you're an outback fan-it's better than a lot of others in Virginia. read more

We stopped at the Charlottesville Outback for dinner a few nights ago. We were traveling with our 60 pound dog. They allowed us to have our dog in their covered outside dining area. They even brought him water! We all felt so welcomed! Food, as always at Outback, was awesome! Staff were super friendly! Plus, they adhered to covid safety. read more

This location was a welcome sight to a weary family who had been on the road for several hours. We had just left an establishment across the street that seemed too busy for our patronage. If you've been to an Outback you've been to them all. If you haven't, we'll, it's a chain restaurant that does a decent job at a fair price, and it's reliable. Our server was outstanding. All of the diners in the restaurant were thoroughly enjoying their experience. My kids were happy, my wife too. I ordered the steak salad and it was weird. I don't blame that on the restaurant, but rather the company as it just doesn't work. I'll return to Outback Steakhouse, and maybe I'll actually order a steak. Too bad for me that my family doesn't like the blooming onion, because I do. Would it be so bad if I just ordered one for myself? read more

I used to go here a lot and haven't been back in person since covid but their takeout is solid. The food tastes exactly as it did years ago and everything was hot and very fresh even though the delivery ran a little late. We ordered a bloomin onion which was hot and crispy and split the babyback ribs entree with loaded mashed potatoes and the house salad. The house salad was VERY fresh the lettuce was delicious which is surprising for a chain restaurant. Loaded potatoes were great bread was soft and delicious and ribs were pretty solid. BBQ sauce was nice and tangy and overall the portions were large. Great food, hopefully will be able to come back in person soon! read more

Attentive waitstaff. Food is OK for the price and ambience. Chain restaurant there are better and worse.

Amazing service by our waiter, Carlos. The bread was extremely fresh and ready when we first got here, and our food came quickly and exactly as ordered. Highly recommend this Outback location! read more
