Service was 10/10 (it wasn't super busy but there were some people and the waitress was handling a big table. -The bloomin onion was really good but it originally comes with a certain sauce. I found it too overwhelming so I ordered ranch and it seemed to be the perfect fit with the appetizer. -The Aussie ribs was part of a special and the day that we went the special was ending. I do have to say it was unexpected that the ribs were somewhat fried but they are still really good. It also comes with the same sauce that the Bloomin onion comes with which seemed to be a little overwhelming for me. -The fried chicken was crispy and moist throughout. It also comes with the same sauce that the Bloomin onion comes in and was also part of a special that was ending. My final thoughts: we orders a little too much fried food which was a bad idea. Not the restaurants fault! We will definitely be coming back to try other things. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Co Co - Steakhouses Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We ordered two Aussie meals. They were not good. The service was ok. The manager never came to the table she sat at the bar talking casually to another customer for over 30 minutes. The picture reflects my over cooked sweet potatoe. My sirloin was super tuff and I wasn't able to eat it. I don't recommend this location in Hixson Tennessee. Food and service was sub par. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Overcooked sweet potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Our server was Erin c. She was friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Unfortunately we all were too hungry to wait to take pictures of the food but everything was cooked perfectly. They weren't to busy when we got there and it was very laidback and relaxing. read more

The lack of knowledge of the server was surprising. The use of iceberg lettuce shows lack of desire to provide quality product ( its cheap not good). My Caesar salad dressing was not good, one bite and I was done. The blooming onion was a bit greasy, oil a bit old but ok. I had a fried chicken dish a thin dry breast with a soggy crust. The steaks of party were ok but not remarkable. Don't think I will be back. This visit left a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively. read more

Food was okay, service was decent. Place was clean. Nothing overly exciting about the place

Service was awesome. Food not so much. Steak was overcooked. Wife ordered medium rare. Outside edge was crispy. Turned it over underside was gray brown. None of it was medium rare. I ordered a medium steak It also was overcooked. It had very little pink in the middle of the portion. Both Baked potatoes were very small. Blooming onion was very good. Ambiance was nice not real noisey. Probably will not return. Price and food quality did not match at all. read more

I ordered 13 oz ribeye. 3 of those oz was good. Other 10 was fat and very hard to chew. Salad was ok, baked potato was ok and sweet tea very cold and good. Cheesecake was delicious. read more

Extremely over priced and over rated. Steaks always have to be sent back for proper cooking. Prices way up and portions much smaller.

When we arrived it wasn't crowded. My tea was horrible so I asked for a coke. It was not properly mixed so I asked for water. My steak had so much grizzle I just brought it home for the dogs. Last few times this place has gotten worse. read more

Stopped for supper after driving two hours. Ordered an appetizer and steaks and desserts. Appetizer was fine. my husband and I both ordered our steaks medium ( 6 0z center cut sirloins) steaks came out with mine cooked fine but my husband's was well well done. It was like chewing leather. I shared mine with him. Waiter never asked us to cut into our steaks We asked for our desserts to go ( raspberry cheesecakes ) we got plain no raspberry which we happened to notice after we got outside. We had paid for the meal and left a 20% tip when the waiter was clearing our plates ( after we paid) we mentioned that the steak was bad. He agreed it looked way over cooked. We didn't want free anything but he had never checked back while we were eating and never bothered to act the least bit interested. That we had such a bad meal. Will never be back read more

Excellent service and food! Treon ( like crayon ) was so fun to have take care of us. It really was an experience and we will definitely be back. Beside the food was amazing consider it's a chain restaurant. read more

Service was great and the prices were moderate, but after that things weren't great. Mistakes on both our meals and a bartender who doesn't know how to pour drinks correctly really rained on the evening. read more

Mikayla was amazing this evening! Superior service, great energy and vibe, and everything was perfect. She made sure we were comfortable the entire time, we never had an empty glass or plate! Thank you Mikayla! read more

Oh goodness, not good. I made a big mistake with my choice for lunch at the old Outback. My partner on the other hand lucked out!! I chose the loaded French dip sandwich with french fries, and he chose the coconut shrimp with a cup of French onion soup. And I would say that his lunch knocked it out of the park! The French onion soup was perfect. The broth was flavorful and not salty at all, as they can be. And the coconut shrimp was delicious! juicy shrimps, all covered in Coconut and deep fried served with a nice little sweet sauce, to dip them in. My sandwich was terrible. It came plated as a hot mess, and it didn't get any better after that! It just didn't taste good, the meat had no flavor, and some of the onions were burnt and every time I took a bite. It just fell out the sides, so it made it really hard to dip. I would never ever order it again! The service was fantastic. She was fast and friendly and very helpful. And you know the outback's a chain so nothing fancy but a nice comfortable environment. read more

Got a T-Bone instead of a porterhouse. Disappointed. Service was good otherwise, got what we asked for. Edit: it was undercooked too. Asked for medium rare, for almost raw. read more

Outback Steakhouse - T-Bone - Steakhouses Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We were seated in the bar area, so the bartender was our server (Hailey?). She was chatting with a couple at the bar & took quite a while to get to us. Then another while to bring our drinks & get our order. I noticed this was a pattern of hers when other tables were sat as well. My house salad had some brown lettuce & the cucumbers were old & slimy. I couldn't believe the kitchen could actually put those on & think it was OK! We had a sirloin & chicken tenders, neither of which stood out. We had to ask twice for ketchup. My empty salad bowl sat at the edge of our table during the rest of the meal. All of our dirty dishes remained piled up on the table until we left - she actually reached over them to hand us the check & made no move to clean anything. She was not busy - still had plenty of time to chat at the bar. This was Saturday around lunchtime & the place had very little business. read more

4 adults ordering lobster, steak and sides. Ordered 6 Oz sirloin, appeared to be a filet. Could not cut it because of the muscle throughout. Took back and promptly brought a T-bone. Could not cut or chew if you got a bite on fork. Would never go back. 2 issues in 1 meal. Service was good but food terrible. read more

As we have finally ventured back into dinning scene, after Covid has subsided, my wife and I have been talking about the "Blooming Onion" for days.....and we're very disappointed. Onion size half of what it used to be, and batter tasted like old grease and pedals dripping in grease! My filet was scorched on the outside, cooked perfectly on the inside, with no flavor! Baked potato was one of the smallest I've seen. Never got the ranch dressing I requested, as I didn't see my server again after the food was delivered by a runner....and the check was due. A once exciting place to eat has been Covidfied! read more

It was very disappointing, I am usually a fan, my steak was tough and the one they brought To replace, well it came home with me and went in the garbage. If you are standing there watching me try to cut into it, well there is a problem Salad was fair, baked potato was great. Sometimes the meat just doesn't meet expectations... read more

We came in for lunch and was immediately greeted and sat. Mike was our server and he was great! Got our food and drinks very quickly. Very pleased with our experience. read more

Normally I like to post reviews of the great food I've eaten but today because of this experience, I feel it is incumbent upon me to post about the quality of food sent out the door for delivery from the Outback in Hixson. Last night, as a birthday treat to myself, I ordered a bone in ribeye steak - along with fries. Now it's been a really long time since I've eaten at Outback, but I remembered their bone in ribeyes as being mouth watering good, thus I was highly anticipating this one. The steak was cooked as ordered - medium rare- but....much to my disappointment, it was leather tough (as in I had trouble cutting it) and had absolutely no juiciness or flavor whatsoever. The fries were dried up and also without flavor. It was, I must say - the most disappointing birthday dinner I have ever had and a complete waste of money. Perhaps if I had been at the restaurant, the quality would have been better. read more

Food was mediocre. Boozy drinks didn't contain ANY booze. Went there because one in our party really wanted a bloomin' onion. Restaurant was dirty, service was okay, but people were walking out due to not being served in a timely manner. Super short on server help, I'm fairly certain just as short in the kitchen. Definitely won't be going back. read more

I got take out at the Outback in Hixson , Tn Christmas Eve. I got the fillet, Caesar salad, loaded sweet potato Everything was delicious, the fillet was almost tender enough to cut it with a fork. The service was good. Our order was taken and brought out to my car within 30 minutes. read more

We called out for delivery and I ordered the prime rib which looks amazing in their menu photo. When our food was delivered and I opened my container it was just a big slab of blubber. Nothing like the picture advertised. Also, the baked potato I ordered was small and the inside looked like it had been under a heat lamp for 2-3 days. I couldn't even pull the potato away from the inside of the skin. Lastly, we ordered the thunder down under dessert for my grandson and we didn't receive it even though we were charged. So disappointed. read more

Almost always cancels our DoorDash order. Order usually at 7pm and notice their restaurant is not busy at all (friends around the area). When they do deliver, their meat is usually cold and over cooked even when it's supposed to be medium. read more

Outback doesn't care anymore. That's what I learned today. Out of the 5 items my party and I ordered today, 1 of them was good. I used to frequent Outback years ago. Honestly, they were excellent. The steaks were juicy and always perfectly cooked, the salads were the best in town, the desserts were enough for a trip on their own. At some point recipes started changing and I stopped going, and tonight I was reminded why. The Good: the lamb was delicious. It was juicy, not quite medium which I prefer but it wasn't my lamb and the person who ordered it found it perfect. It was very well seasoned; each bite attacks your mouth but not in an unpleasant sort of way. The sautéed veggies that came alongside were also cooked well. There was one complaint: $21 for so little lamb doesn't seem right at all. But at least it was delicious. The Bad: The salads were very clearly made with massive hunks of old iceberg lettuce. Some huge pieces of iceberg were brown and limpy. I ordered a cobb salad for my dinner and another person at my table ordered a side house salad. My cobb was basically a big version of a house salad with some egg sprinkled in. I was severely disappointed and ate about 6 or 7 bites and left the rest. The chicken quesadillas were plated poorly, were very bland, and stuffed with mild cheese. No flavor, just disappointment and tears. 1.5 pieces were eaten and the rest was left. (there were about 8-10 pieces of quesadilla) For some reason, it came with honey mustard dipping sauce; those flavors didn't mesh well. What happened to sour cream and pico de gallo? The side steakhouse mac and cheese was a disgrace. When I ordered it the waitress moaned and said it was her favorite thing on the menu. Of course I was excited. And then I saw the plain noodles with black pepper sprinkled on them and a handful of cheese slumped on top. What in the world?? You didn't even try! I felt deceived and so very annoyed. I took three bites (I have no idea why) and left the rest. In summary, 75% of the food we ordered was left on our plates. The waitress didn't say anything about the huge amounts of food we left behind, which bothered me. Clearly we didn't like it. If a customer had barely touched my favorite item on the menu, I would have asked about it. Goodbye, Outback. You're like an old athlete who's lost his snuff but won't retire. read more

Every. Single. Time. I. Order. Every Time I've tried to order from this restaurant, they mess it up or don't even give me the right food. I've done curbside carry out the last 4 attempts in hopes that it would be better. Usually my order is very simple. An appetizer. Literally just an appetizer. The person ordering tells me 10-15 minutes depending on the day or time, which is obviously normal. So this time, the lady says 15 minutes. I show up 10 minutes early to make sure I get hot food. Literally 40 minutes later, I find myself still waiting for a dang appetizer. That last time I waited 45 minutes and ended up getting the wrong order. The time before that, I waited 25 minutes to then be told my food had been given to the wrong car and that they'd have to remake it. Each time I end up walking away empty handed. Every single time I call back I get the classic "I'm sorry sir. We're just busy." Or the "would you like me to remake it for you?" This is a terribly ran business. Being former food industry staff, I can understand a couple mix ups on larger orders occasionally. But literally every time, it's on an appetizer order. How hard is it to mess up one item in an order? So, today, like every other experience at this restaurant, I'm leaving empty handed again. And the other food I had picked up for other members in my house ended up being cold by the time I got home. I do not recommend this establishment. Ever. read more

Ordered online for pickup. They outsource their service to grub hub which had the order correctly and charged as such. The kitchen staff left off most of my wife's order which I didn't notice until I got back home which is 25 min away. I called takeout and the team member said sorry you left the restaurant I can't see that we actually did something wrong. I asked so then nothing will be done and the team member said that's right sorry take it up with grub hub which you can't get ahold of anyone. read more

I picked the outback stake house for date , she picked olive garden, so I insisted on outback, service was great, but food was not, they cut back on size of blooming onion, the deepening sauce, small amount, stake under cooked, when sent back , it come back burned, in long run, should took my date some where else, it was terrible, I will not recommend it whatsoever. read more

My husband and I went in there for our anniversary dinner since we had not been in a very long time. We made the mistake of sitting in the bar at a table, without being seated by the hostess. There were only two tables occupied in the bar so it was not crowded. The arrogant hostess told us we would have to go back to the front desk and ASK to be seated in that area or go eat at the bar . We are in our mid seventies and I have a bad back so we moved over to the bar instead of walking up to the desk and back. The food was so nasty, of course we will never go back. Outback at Northgate, you have sunk to a real low! read more

Ordered curbside pickup after not going to Outback for a long while, but wanted to give it a second chance. Everything was over cooked and dry. My salmon could be used as a hockey puck! Not to mention the burned, hard steak. I did not get butter and brown sugar for my sweet potato or the remoulade sauce for that dry, burned salmon. Nothing was edible. Had the throw it out. read more

We love this place. It is a go-to for "chocolate bread" and a few drinks at the bar. The cheese fries are also amazing but we have had a several great things here as well! The service has also been consistent so, in my book, I will keep coming back! read more

I have eaten occasionally at this location for a number of years. Unfortunately, this restaurant does not deliver the service or food in a way that it's reputation was originally established. This establishment is dark and very unappealing for someone that is looking for an upbeat and inviting restaurant. The quantity of food that is served is small and the quality is inconsistent. The servers are always different people when I have been there. I have never been able to establish a rapport with the employees more than on a one time visit. It is disappointing that a huge chain like Outback Steakhouse seems to be going downhill with each of my visits. I will not be choosing this restaurant as a place to go to enjoy my food and to feel like I am having the greatest dining experience. Outback needs to make a commitment to improve their food quality, service and create an upbeat atmosphere in this competitive restaurant industry before they can expect to grow their business in the future. There are way too many other restaurant choices to settle for one That apparently does not appreciate its customers. read more

I accidentally placed my curbside order to be ready at 8pm instead of 7pm due to crossing a time zone on my way back from Nashville when the order was placed. The manager and the girl running curbside were so amazing and nice. They had my order ready with everything perfect in 10 minutes despite the mix up being completely my fault. The manager even offered me a to-go drink! Could not be more grateful for their help after a long terrible day and what could have finished badly, ended up being good thanks to their top notch service. read more

This place smells like a dirty old restaurant. Looks like they updated the outside a bit, but the inside is pretty gross. Glad to see the fried mushrooms back on the menu; they're awesome. Caesar salad was nasty, didn't eat it. Outback Special steak is still a good piece of meat, especially with the sautéed mushrooms. The loaded baked potato was not loaded at all and clearly came out of a microwave. I remember when this place was special, that was a really long time ago :( read more

Sometimes writing reviews on a well known franchise like outback almost seems to be a waste of time but I think the service and food is not always the same so I will focus on that. First it is located in Northgate Mall area right off Hwy 153 so plenty of parking. They open the door for you when you arrive and greet you. I have been here a number of times and the waiter was polite but seemed unhappy and he was kind of short in his speech, like he was uncomfortable talking to real people. There was 3 adults, two toddlers and one munchin - so three kidlets in all. They were very accommodating and got us high chairs as needed. We ordered cheese fries, which in my opinion is the best in the industry, but not healthy ;-). They had draught beer but limited selection. I had Fosters and they (adults) had Blue Moon... tall ones. My daughter and I ordered clam chowder soup, which made me very happy because years ago they stopped serving it and apparently it is back on the menu... if you like clam chowder (white creamy kind), you will love it here. However our soup was almost cold so the waiter took it back and the manager brought out two hot bowls and was apologetic so all is good. The place is clean and is what you would expect from an Outback, same pretty much everywhere. I guess I will give it a 4 because of the cheese fries, beer and the fact it is pretty consistent wherever I go ... if they had Roger Alan Wade playing or slot machines, I would have given it a 5!!! ... read more

Sat at the bar to eat dinner. Waited over 10 minutes before I saw a bartender. The bartender came back and immediately went to a couple who I assume are regulars without even acknowledging me. Took their orders and still ignored me. I left and went to another establishment. There are too many competing restaurants within walking distance to have this sub-par level of customer service. Was immediately served at the other steak establishment close by. read more

Was at outback today, jan. 11, 2023, it was the most horrible food i ever tried to eat,and the service was awful, she was like do you want to talk to the manager, i said no , he cant make the food taste any better, and i told her it was not her fault, but she ask do you want bread, she never came back to fill our drinks, needless to say the new miller ale house will get my business, its the best. read more

Ordered prime rib and when it came out it was literally 50% fat. What meat there was, was tough and grizzled. Loaded potato was anything but loaded. Asparagus was also bad. Will not be dining there again, ever! read more
