Oh my GOD. Seriously an amazing restaurant. The service is incredible, even the bus boys are hilarious. I love that they hire college kids to work, and they do their jobs whole heartedly. Our waitress, Story, was incredible. So so sweet to our toddler, so attentive, never kept is waiting, joked with us... and the manager was a sweet lady as well. The food, oh gosh, so fresh. It makes me drool thinking of it lol everything we got from the fried onion to the steaks to the lobster.... Mouaaaahh we'll be coming back again, and again, and again. read more

Dawsonville Outback has some delicious menu options. We had great service and the manager Shawn visited our table to make sure everything was prepared to our satisfaction. The restaurant was quiet the Thursday evening we dined and it wasn't very crowded. They also had a party of about 20 celebrating a family dinner but this location was still peaceful and accommodating. Keep up the great job Outback staff. read more

I got the $17 special 6 ounce steak, baked potato and salad. The steak was so tough. It was edible. I couldn't even cut it with a steak knife, let alone chew it up. I ate the baked potato and the salad were fine, but the steak was left on my plate. I hadn't been there in years. I thought I'd give it another try I knew something had to be able to get a 6 ounce steak for $17 and the steaks on the other page were like $45 I think that's why you sell them so cheap on that is because they're terrible steaks. Our server was delightful. I'm sorry I've forgotten her name. I think it was.Gina. The restaurant was clean and nice, but the steak was awful read more

Wonderful late lunch with my husband. We ordered off their lunch menu. Perfect steak and potatoes. Fresh bread, and great Tea! Our server was great and took great care of us! Sadly I forgot his name! read more

I had a night alone for a change and decided to go for an early dinner at Outback. I was not disappointed by service, meal, and atmosphere. All for a very reasonable price IMO. Sat in the bar area watched tv and had a nice quiet dinner out. I need to do this more often. lol read more

I ordered the sirloin medium, and it was cooked to perfection!! Our server Brooke was wonderful too. She was also bartender but still made sure my friend and I were good. Will definitely be back!! read more

$$ Visiting the Outback Steakhouse here in Dawsonville, Georgia with my sister AnnMarie. Although our steaks were cooked to perfection, the salad had a lot to be desired as a portion of the lettuce was brown and not edible. They did have a good deal on a meal that included salad, an entrée, and a piece of cheesecake for dessert, which we took advantage of... Our server, Hunter, was very nice and took good care of us. The ambience was like any other Outback, or any food chain restaurant interior... Big, square, with many tables and booths. We will probably visit this restaurant again, just staying away from the salad products. Make memories and safe travels read more

I don't usually expect much from an Outback but oh my gosh..Right walking in I felt at ease the vibe was great and the lighting made everything nice and cozy especially for an Outback. The service was very nice our waiter came and checked on us almost every minute and he made our experience even more fun! He gave us suggestions and even cracked jokes with us. I didn't know how to expect my food to come out because sometimes it's a hit or a miss but this did not miss. It was my first time trying the Parmesan creamed corn and I will not be the same it was phenomenal!! I can't eat corn a different way I scrapped the bottom, I also love my mignon it was cooked to the exact temperature I wanted and it melted in my mouth. The ribs my mother had gotten were extremely delicious and fell right off the bone. This Outback is definitely my favorite go to if you want something not as expensive and are looking for a good experience! Good job you guys are nailing it here. read more

The service was great! The food - not so much. Husband's steak tasted like it was pan fried with not much flavor. Our bloomin' onion was almost burnt and incredibly greasy. Not appealing at all. Certainly not the way Outback used to do them. Our salads were mediocre. Not much effort put into them. I got the coconut prawn and was so excited to get them, but they were overwhelmingly greasy. The sauce that came with them was great, but the crust on the shrimp was so greasy, it just fell off. We were very disappointed! We went because I wanted prime rib, but that's only served Fri. thru Sun. I don't think we will ever go back. Longhorn's doesn't have prime rib, but it has NEVER disappointed us - ever! read more

The service here is amazing! Gina made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish! We will request for her at our next visit.

Service was 10/10 ponytail guy with glasses was nice He made good drinks! Other guy was cool too Burger was good n fresh The onion bloom is tooooo seasoned well salty peppery...Yikes Ambiance cool Hubs & I sat at the bar read more

Great fast service. The Oiy Oyi Oiy combo was a great meal for a great value. The restaurant was fairy quiet for a Saturday early evening so there was hardly a wait for our food. Our server Hunter was excellent and very attentive to our requests and took the time to check in on us multiple times. My only two negative comments were with my salad as it had a few mealy pieces of lettuce near the middle. Additionally, the baked potato was extremely salty and had a black spot on the end of it which was inedible. read more

Service was amazing, ask for Gina! Food was great but took close to 45 minutes to get our main entree! Gina was very apologetic, and tried her best to keep us happy. Once we got our food, it was well worth its wait. read more

I ordered the Canberra chopped steak, what I got was a hard plain and dry piece of meat, no creamy mushroom sauce on top. I had to smother the meat with Sweet Baby Rays to make it eatable. The cook should be ashamed for letting that leave the kitchen. It was not worth donkey balls let alone the money I spent. Just because you can't see my face doesn't mean I'm not a real live person. I was sent a text message saying: Hello Heidi, this is Joe from Outback Steakhouse. Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with our Canberra chopped steak. We're sorry to hear it didn't meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve. We appreciate your input and hope to serve you better in the future. My response: My expectations? Your cook ruined my meal!! So don't act like it was cooked correctly and I just didn't approve of it. I'm sorry I didn't take any photos, I was so hungry. All I had today was an apple this morning with my coffee and this was my dinner? Appalling! read more

Shyanne is the best! So customer focused! Truly above what I expected ! She was not only very familiar with the menu items but also had personally ordered many of what she recommended! I ordered the18 ox ribeye with coconut shrimp and upgraded to the Brussels sprouts and loaded baked potatoes. read more

Stopped in after the Mac Powell concert at FOCAL for dinner. We were seated quickly and had a nice table for two. Our waitress was Sydney and she did a very good job of taking care of us. Wife had the Blackberry Martini and thoroughly enjoyed it. She also had the Victoria's Barrel-Cut 6OZ Filet along with the salad and Mashed Potatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly and to her liking, salads we both had looked very fresh and hand made. Her mashed potatoes were wonderful. I ordered the Ribeye and Shrimp, Steak and Mates combo. Steak was cooked just right and very tasty, not a lot of seasoning on the steak which was great. I ordered Aussie fries with no salt. the fries did not arrive with the meal, before I could say anything the manager, Lee/Leigh, was there explaining that the fries were overcooked and she was having a new batch made. They came out halfway through the meal and were spot on. Glad to see the manager is working all around the restaurant and pro active and not just waiting for things to happen then responding. Our waitress came bye a few times but never too refill my drink during the whole meal. This restaurant is doing the right thing and it was a nice atmosphere as we enjoyed our dinner. We could hear ourselves talk the whole time during dinner with out raising our voices. Wishing you guys the best in the future, for the manager keep up the great work and being involved all the time. read more

I have been twice so far and can say that my experience has been consistently great! The staff is attentive and efficient. They know the menu and can make recommendations. They also seem to be having a great day regardless of how crowded or late it is. The food is consistently yummy. I'm confident that I'll get the same flavors and freshness each time. Welcome to Dawsonville!! read more

If I could give this outback no stars I would. Never order to go from here because they always mess stuff up the food is freezing cold when I waited outside in my car for the food. Tastes like old garbage , is moldy and disgusting. The forget parts of your meal EVERY-TIME you order. They have horrible nasty service. Never order steak from here it's always disgusting. They always say they want customers feedback but do nothing for the fact customer pay all this money for their food and either don't get what they pay for or it tastes awful. They never refund money or try to offer a gift card or anything. Never been anywhere that doesn't try to right their wrongs. All they want is feedback but then nothing ever changes!! So they really just don't care. DONT EAT HERE. read more

Walked into a low light cute down under themed atmosphere ! Started off with the huge blooming onion!

Try the Koala punch it's delicious and the presentation is super cute !The staff were incredibly friendly and sat us real quick. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Koala Punch - Steakhouses Near Me - Dawsonville, Georgia

This is the second delivery order in a row that has been unacceptable, and as a result, we will not be ordering from this location again. I paid $125 for this order, and the quality was completely unacceptable. I ordered the 15oz ribeye cooked medium, but it was served rare and burnt on the outside, making it completely inedible. The New York strip was also undercooked and burnt on the outside. The Bloomin' Onion was saturated in grease and not edible. In addition, we only received two of the three salads we paid for, and all of the sides were cold. The fries were cold, hard, and tasted old, as if they had been sitting for an extended period of time. This experience was extremely disappointing and did not reflect the standard we expected from Outback. read more

I really don't understand the poor reviews. We've always found the food and service to be excellent. The portions are good and the food comes out fairly quickly and it is hot. We've always had good cheerful and helpful waitstaff. This is a very well run Outback. Better than most we've been to. read more

We arrived excited for a steak and a drink! But when we sat at the bar our service decided otherwise. We "started with waters "per the recommendation of the bartender. Sure. There was no other mention of drinks after, kind of our fault but we did feel rushed to order for some reason. When ordering our steaks I like them medium, but have had bad luck when asking for medium and them arriving over cooked. I mentioned this to the waitress, who recommended "I just ask for medium rare, that way we can cook it a bit longer if needed" I agreed that was a fair compromise. As it turned out, medium rare actually medium rare and this one was too red for me. I asked to be cooked a bit more, and they finished it up nice. No big deal, but still a bummer. I tried to eat my potato but that was very dry. I waited till the manager delivered my steak back to me to ask for more butter, and he brought me back the smallest tab of butter I have gotten in my life. Pitiful really. All the while our server, the "bartender" was busy, looking busy. Wiping stuff down, stocking things and other things, that I agree a good employee does, but she missed the main part of her job, to help wait on the customers. My ice water that I received right when I got there was empty for the last half of my meal. My buddy also said his steak lacked "good flavor profile" lol but I thought it wasn't badly seasoned. He also got the steakhouse Mac-and-cheese, that he ate 3 bites and tossed the rest... terrible compared to Longhorn across the highway. If the server takes advice and pays more attention to her customers, she will be fine, I believe she could be a good server. Over all I choose Longhorn Steakhouse over this place hands down now. read more

We came here today with our 10 and 11 year old. We ordered the cheese fries, steaks, Alice Springs Chicken, and sodas. The waitress was so attentive and polite. Our food wait was reasonable and the flavor and temperature was perfect. They did not disappoint on the steak temperature and all three steaks were cooked as requested. We are from Florida and regular Outback customers but this location really gives the company a good name. The ambiance is relaxing yet upbeat. read more

We came in today for the first time to give this Outback a try since they just opened and we weren't disappointed! First of all, you have to appreciate the appearance. The building is very modern for Outback and the interior is just as impressive. They have beautiful murals, a well stocked bar area, and a great layout. The half circle booths are wonderful with children, so that was a big plus for us! We started with an appetizer of the Bloomin shrimp. I typically really enjoy the Bloomin onion and their grilled shrimp, but when paired together it is VERY salty. The shrimp were cooked well however, so asking for a cup of ranch did the trick and we were able to enjoy them after that! I personally got the 6oz lunch sirloin with a baked potato for $12.99. The pricing was very fair for what I got, the steak was cooked to perfection, and the potato was excellent. I would definitely recommend and I would go back just for this! My spouse got the Bloomin burger with a side of fries and he really enjoyed it also. It was cooked to his liking and the specifications he asked for on it were executed properly. The only reason I'm giving four stars is because of the service. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, we had a hard time trying to get her attention across the room, and when you're eating salty food, drink refills are a big thing for us. We're definitely going to give it another go in the near future, but for now we would absolutely recommend a trip to your new local Outback! read more

Filet either shrunk significantly or it's not a filet! Horrible. Now i know why i haven't eaten at an Outback Steakhouse in 15 years! It looks like they cut the filet in advertised and menu picture into thirds. 25.99 for that? Nope! read more

Always love outback steakhouse, Sydney is an amazing server ! I love how well lit the restaurant is with all the open windows :)

Food was good and fresh, but the service was terrible. Our witness took our order and we never saw her again until we were getting up to leave. Ate our whole meal with no drinks. She checks on her two other tables multiple times during our visit, but never checked on us for drinks or to make sure our food was right. read more

Standard service, clean asceptic dark corporate interiors. Standard food for mid level steakhouse. Good food when you're hungry. But won't blow your socks away. Had a great lunch deal for under 20 bucks. Onion soup was good. Broccoli well cooked, steak just as ordered. Cheesecake was good. Nothing special. Meaning wysiwyg what you see in menu is what you get nothing more nothing less. Service is perfunctory but efficient. Etc. Will visit again as I did like the food but it's definitely not a date type of place for me. More like I'm visiting outlets and want to indulge for lunch kind of place. read more

Just an awful experience from beginning to end. My New York Strip Steak was abysmal--sinewy and inedible. My wife's entree was just as bad. My Old Fashioned was a sugary mess. The service was fine and the people friendly, but they had nothing to work with. I think they were embarrassed by how awful things were--they didn't even ask how it was. read more

Had dinner with my wife and daughter and it was not good! They both had the grilled salmon and they said it was fine, not great. My daughter's Caesar salad was bad and she couldn't eat it. I had the Kingsland pasta with beef and shrimp. They declared the Alfredo sauce bold and it was practically tasteless and the beef was not in medallion form for ease of eating and it was grisly. I eventually packed it up for the dog. The shrimp was okay. The best part of the meal was my house salad and the broccoli, which I was charged an extra $8 for by mistake as two sides come with the dish. A once great option from Longhorn is now not. read more

If you want a steak without the high price this is the place to go. Been here two times already and have not been disappointed. Service was great and no wait time. We ordered the Bourbon Ribye which was seasoned just right and tender and the Lobster . read more

It's definitely cleaner than most outbacks! The host was sweet and greeted us. We order good amounts of food, and we are quick to eat and leave while tipping well. Our server named Shelby had a rude attitude from the start. She was having an attitude every time she came to our table, banging plates down and not saying a word. I honestly despise people like this, i didn't ask you to come to work. If you don't like your job, QUIT. Now you have people coming to enjoy lunch or a time with loved us, but have it ruined by people like this. read more

We tried the new Chicken siracha appetizer and split a rack of ribs. They were fall off the bone, finger licking delicious. Our server, Wendy, was outstanding. Great Sunday lunch. read more

Diner be aware! "steakhouse" right..Not! After a very looong wait finally served the worst, so called, prime rib ever! Prime rib lovers know prime rib. It has a certain tenderness and flavor. Un-mistakable. Outback serves a thin, piece of stringy, chewy, no flavor piece of meat. For 30 bucks I got a cheap steak. Longhorn does not serve prime rib, but all their steaks are tender and full of flavor. Very distinct and delicious. You decide. read more

Service was good. Food was awful. We had 6 at our table for lunch. Four of us ordered steaks. My filet was not filet. Tough, fibrous. Two of the other three steaks were so fat and tough, almost inedible. Will not return there ever. read more

Food was good but the service..... ruined the whole dining experience. Our waitress Shelby had an extremely terrible attitude which is why my family will never be returning to this location. She was dismissive, rolled her eyes, and was annoyed I asked for a refill. Her attitude was so bad we barely enjoyed our meal. Won't be back read more

We have been Twice since they opened. Both nights have been great. Waitress was on her game with drink and bread refills. Love the inside and seating arrangements. I got the kings land steak and shrimp pasta. Although a little unseasoned it was a good portion for the money. The bloomin onion was good . Give them a shot hope you had good luck like us. read more
