Good food and great service. Steak and lobster was delicious and the bloomin onion is always a hit. My daughter and hubby enjoyed a burger three course meal that included a side and dessert. read more

I'm sorry to say this because their food is pretty good. I always eat at the bar when I go out and the guys that tend bar absolutely the worst. The service is always sluggish and even if you have been there multiple times they are curt and don't seem to care about your experience. Today I had a bar tender insisted that I pay my tab because he was going off shift. I hadn't even gotten my food yet. So FU if you want a tip from me. I never tip under 20% but this was the first time in a long while. They need to replace the whole bartender staff because they are all like this. read more

Service , taste, value. It was a pleasant experience. The restaurant is clean. Recommend it for a pleasant experience.

I haven't been here for a while; So it was time to come back. It was a busy Sunday afternoon. My server did a good job for the most part. I ordered steak and shrimp with a Cesar salad. My only complaint is the steak needed more seasoning. Everything else was just fine. read more

Haven't eaten at Outback in a while and thought I would tonight, especially to get a cup of Clam Chowder...yum. The seating in the restaurant was spaced nicely and it was well lit. Franz, our server was friendly and very accommodating. Our drinks and food came out quickly and was delicious. We will certainly be back. read more

My dinner was delicious! Outback never disappoints me. I was very hungry and wanted a good hot meal. It was on time and ready when I arrived. Great customer service from the young lady in pick up area. read more

Absolutely awful both service and food. Our waitress seemed younger, but it took her 6 minutes to ask us just for drinks after being seated. Her section had only 2 other tables as well. It took 30 minutes for our food to come out, just for us to have to send it back due to the burger being completely raw. Unsuitable for anyone to eat. Our waitress even said "Yes, that's very raw. It's moo-ing" We asked our waitress for more bread over 10 times, just for it to not be served. She walked past us and ignored us most of dinner, refills were provided once we were finished all our food. It took us a whole other waiter to be provided bread, but it only came out to be 1 small piece for 4 people. Absolutely ridiculous. Never coming back here, don't recommend! Our waitress was too busy flirting with old guys for a tip and talking about sharks. Couldn't even offer us a compensation for messing up the burger and serving it raw. read more

No long wait, Food was good. If anything else fell short, sever Maritza made up for it. Great server. She did forget our second beer. But by the time we ate, we didn't need it. Family friendly environment. read more

Nope...it was not that good as you can see from the photos!!!! The blooming onion was ok, just a lil greasy. Next, the Melbourne steak was a nice size and cooked to my likeness but the broccoli and baked w potato was uninspired! Now to the coconut shrimp came out too dark so we sent those back and opted for no replacement!! Now the beef and shrimp pasta was just ok, once again an uninspired dish!! This is my first time going to outback steak house in over 30 years....they've changed and not for the best! This was a disappointment to me and it was my birthday !!! Oh I got a dessert of vanilla ice cream for my day but this was the last straw...it was freezer burn with ice all through it, I guess this was not my day... read more

My family and I visited this Outback location to celebrate my son's 15th bday. We went around 1pm and there was virtually no other customers in the restaurant. Depending on the time of day you visit, the location can give rather busy, which is why we decided to go early. The gentlemen who was out waiter was very kind and personable. Our food came rather quickly, seeing as though out party was fairly big. The food was good, but the quality has definitely gone down over the years while the prices seem to always increase. The restaurant could use a nice deep cleaning though, there is nothing worst than a sticky floor! All and all, not a bad experience. read more

We dined on a Monday night, party of 8 (four adults, four kids). Used call-ahead seating and were seated immediately upon arrival. They had the table already set up for 8, with lots of extra napkins and straws. Our waitress, Arianna, appeared right away to take our drink orders, and brought us bread for the table (twice). We asked about the "kids eat free with adult entree" special, and it was available that night for our group. One of the kids was just an infant, and we were still able to order a 4th kids meal for free. Our meal was perfectly timed, orders accurate, food was tasty, and Arianna was a pleasure. She checked on us often, as did the manager, Terry. Our drinks were refilled without needing to ask. The older kids played on the two game consoles on the table (unlimited games for $2.99). Everything was delicious, with lots of leftovers to take home. We hadn't been to this Outback in quite some time, since we had a couple of sub-par meals there. That has all changed. Not sure if it's new management or better training, but It was one of the best experiences I've ever had taking the grandkids out to eat. They were busy with the games, and had plenty of delicious kid-friendly food (Mac and cheese, chicken fingers and a cheeseburger). When our bill came, the kids meals hadn't been comped, so Arianna immediately took care of that. I made sure to tell Terry what a gem she was, and he said other tables had complimented her as well. I'm looking forward to another visit soon. If you go, I hope you get Arianna - she was perfection. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. This location has gone from being the best to being the absolute worst. I've been going to this location since I was a teen and have never been this disgusted. 15-20 years later and I cannot return to this location. My last visits I found food on the floor (like a whole salad with dressing), greasy seats and the table was sticky and greasy. There is also a smell that resembles an old mop that's full of odor. My mom and I were grossed out and left 5 minutes after we were seated. I will not be returning and neither will my family. I cannot recommend this location any longer. Not even for take out! read more

Food was good, bartender not. She was friendly and laughing with the other bartender but couldn't give a crap about the guests. Everytime someone asked for something she seemed annoyed. Also, never asked how my food was read more

Used their app to get in line before arriving at 6:15 pm on a Tuesday. Walked in with a party of 5 and were seated immediately (likely no wait for walk ins either). We were greeted by Brian (our server) immediately and ordered drinks and a Bloomin' Onion to share. While we waited, we received bread and our waters. They had a side menu (Aussie 3 course meal) that most of us selected. It came with soup or salad, an entree and a side, and a slice of cheesecake. With the appetizer and bread, no one had room for dessert, so the cheesecake was served to-go. The food was served with mixed temperature. The mashed potatoes were not hot, so they came home as a leftover. The appetizer had one small sauce cup, and we had to wait a while to get more after asking twice. By the time we got it, the food arrived and so we wasted 1/3 of the appetizer. Our steaks were very good, prepared to the right temperature. The restaurant was a comfortable temperature, and country music was playing faintly. All staff were friendly. I suspect they were short-staffed due to the lags in service and the cold food. Plentiful parking. read more

Haven't been to Outback in a looooong time, but there recent commercial caught my attention and I thought why not. I got the Aussie 3 course meal, I chose the side salad, coconut shrimp, salad, and dessert. My food came out at an appropriately spaced time, which I always like so I can enjoy it at a pace, rather than a rush. Surprisingly the main course had me full - the bake potato was big, so I only ate 4 of the large shrimp,and requested my dessert to go. My waiter, Cole, picked up on my dietary needs,and was a pleasure to talk to. He checked on me appropriately, and I didn't feel rushed. I also appreciated the hostess staff greeting me a smile and seating me quickly. The occasional staff member would walk by as well and ask if I were good (appreciate the teamwork!) Overall food was yum and service was great! read more

Slow service and refills and mediocre food made this visit unpleasant. There was little to no seasoning on the food and the items were not very hot. We even waited a long time for the bread to come out. I feel that the quality of service and food had gone way down in recent years. The table was comfortable enough, but it was very loud inside. Not worth the visit anymore. read more

Place is pretty disgusting, women's bathroom was broken while we were there. You had female kids walking into a shared bathroom with men holding their penises. Touch screen on a table was absolutely gross, and smeared with grease and crap. I mentioned it when I got there to the waitress. And proceeded to leave it on the table dirty as hell. Then I guess by a huge coincidence, I had multiple hairs in my food. Screw these people, and screw outback. read more

I have visited this location on 3 different occasions and had issues each visit. Thinking that the issue were an off night, overwhelmed kitchen or a fluke, I've come to understand that none of those things were true, this place is horribly run with inept cooks. On 2 of the 3 visits, my steak was served rare when I requested medium. My husband ordered a burger well done, it came out rare. I ordered the margarita flight, they were out of the black salt for a rim. I had to ask for it. The bartender was incredibly lackluster. While it is understood that Outback is a middle of the road steakhouse, the service AND food is lousy. Save yourselves the trouble, go elsewhere. read more

I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on my experience at Outback Steakhouse in Ellicott City. I usually order the bone-in ribeye steak via their online app for my post-church dinner, and it never fails to impress! Each delivery is always fresh, hot, and cooked to order for a fantastic steak dinner. The quality and fair portions are always consistent and to top off my meal, I indulge in a slice of carrot cake, which is absolutely delightful! Thank you for maintaining such high standards. I look forward to my next steak dinner. read more

This place has gone way down! Food was good. However, my foot kept hitting something. When I looked at the floor I wanted to vomit! The floor had food, utensils, and goodness knows what! The manager apologized and stated they are a family restaurant and children are welcome. The guest before us had children and she explained that's were it came from..but they clean and sanitize after every customer! She offered us free dessert and appetizers for next visit. I sat and watched several people being seated right after another and not one employee cleaned the tables. Disgusting. Never going back! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Nasty floor! - Steakhouses Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

The food is typical outback food, which is great if that's what you're in the mood for. The take out situation could be so much better. The website is pretty bad and difficult to navigate. 50/50 it's going to accept an Outback gift card. If you call to try to get help with the order or to check on the status it's very hard to get help. Sometimes for pick up I end up going inside looking for help. read more

So many restaurants live on their history these days...sadly this is one of them. How can one destroy a hamburger? Well, one can especially if one overcooks it and brings it to your table soaking in grease. The fries were undercooked. Then to make things worse, the server is serving the public with long, long hair streaming down his little shoulders...uncovered and unkempt. Where is management? Where are the guidelines? The damn common sense? Never returning to this place!!!! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. We were immediately greeted and seated. We ordered appetizers and a signature cocktail. After an oddly long wait, the cocktail arrived and was NOTHING like it was described. I notified the server immediately, pointing out that is was made wrong (pointing to the written description and picture). (The drink was supposed to have a cinnamon and sugar rum and edible art, which were both missing.) The server, instead of reading and listening to the obvious, told me that the drink was right. I pointed to the rim of the glass in front of me and held the picture of the drink next to mine. He insisted that the drink was right and then said he would have it remade if I wanted. I advised that I only want what I ordered. He then went to the bar. He returned explaining that the bar was out of the ingredients needed to make the signature drink. It didn't have to be a big deal, but I don't like being told that something is right when it's clearly wrong. The server was "nice" but should have really taken a moment to listen and look before trying to stand so firmly. The service was slow, relative to the amount of customers. The manager never came to the table to inquire/confirm our experience. The blooming onion was undercooked and salty. The coconut shrimp were amazing. I am dissatisfied and disappointed as this locals typically better. read more

Seasonal cocktails are recommended: gingerbread cookie martini and smoked cinnamon pecan old fashioned. Both are excellent!! The cookie on the martini is a classic gingerbread man and the old fashioned came out billowing smoke! Although our prime ribs did not come out the correct temperature, the manager corrected the errors and had the steaks recooked to perfection!!! Oh! and the blooming shrimp appetizer was really good and a lot of shrimp. Took half to go. read more

We were seated & after 15 min I asked for the manager. As u can see there were little customers in there. Ppl sat behind us & napkins, water & bread was rushed to the table immediately after they were seated. The manager gave us one piece of cake as a comp for the bad service & I'm not gonna speak about the food. The mac & cheese was dry & the so-called lobster was terrible. read more

I ate at Outback Steak House again. The food was Amazing!! I started with a bowl of french onion soup, followed by my fresh salad, and porterhouse steak. I had a baked potato with extra butter and a dollop of sour cream. Of course, I couldn't eat all of it....so I was given to- go containers. The food was awesome and enjoyed every bite. Thank you Outback for hitting a home run for me!! I will be back!! read more

We decided to go out for dinner at the last minute and chose Outback. I hadn't been here in a while but I was pleasantly surprised. We added our name to the waitlist online which allowed us to be seated right away upon arrival. They sat us a table that was placed was pretty close to another table but it was crowded and we were hungry so we didn't complain. Our waiter Connor was very nice! He was extremely helpful and made sure to attend to our table frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Our food was great and nice portion sizes. We had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

I was very disappointed in our dinner tonight that we had delivered through DoorDash. The ordering process was not great, but I checked out the process directly through the Outback website, and it wasn't much better. The app would not allow us to substitute sides for a soup (we were willing to pay the extra cost if necessary). It also would not allow us to request extra bread (again, we would have been fine with paying for it). So, I was even more disappointed when we only received one loaf of bread (we ordered 4 adult meals) and we were given regular butter; instead of their delicious honey butter. I wish we had given our business to a restaurant that cared more about their customers. read more

Adam Satterfield was a great server! If you're ever in EC and want a delicious steak AND great service, come here. We've been coming to Outback for a long time. Our all time favorite is the Aussie Cheese Fries (not pictured because they're THAT good, it never lasts seconds before being torn apart). I typically get a steak and a lobster tail add on. This time we got baby back ribs and one of their specials that included yummy seafood - lobster tail, shrimp and crab cakes. It came with two sides. I didn't have expectations for the crab cakes (it's Maryland and we're at Outback Steakhouse). I did enjoy everything, though. The loaded baked potato was yummy as always. read more

So outback steakhouse has been around a very long time. I used to absolutely love this place. Nowadays it seems like it's a crap shoot each time I go. Sometimes I win but sometimes I crap out. My most recent visit was a crap out. My family and I walked in without calling ahead to get on the waiting list. We were seated within 4 minutes. When we got to our seats it took about 6 minutes for our waiter to come and offer us water and/or take our appetizer. Our waiter, when he arrived stated that a previous customer had a medical emergency and he was trying to deal with that he apologized and asked if we wanted water. We asked for water, tea, and 2 Shirley temples for the kids. The beverages came out quickly but afterwards it took approximately 10 minutes for our waiter to return and take our food order. I suppose 10 minutes isn't an extraordinary amount of time under normal circumstances but when you have two hungry children every second counts. We ordered an appetizer which came out quickly and our food which also came out quickly. I understand that things always happen and that ok. The combination of our waits and our food being just ok seems like Outback got more out of me that I got out of it. I will say that the walla be darned drink was great. I'll definitely be back but my expectations are firmly set at a 3 star level of satisfaction. read more

Food was meh. Coconut shrimp appetizer tasted like it was fried in year old grease. Never brought out my salad, and never bothered to explain what happened to it, just asked if I wanted it after my meal or to go. Had to ask for a refill of my lemonade and gave up because it never came out. No manager ever came by to check, even with the screw ups. They comped the lousy shrimp, but I still won't be back here read more

It was advertised on TV that Outback is having a $14.99 special for a 3 course meal. When we asked our server about it he said maybe it applies to certain locations. They had no such deal. I ordered 6 oz sirloin steak to be pink and it was so well done it was shoe leather. The sauteed veggies were barely cooked with no flavor. I asked for my salad with ranch dressing on the side and it was peppercorn ranch and burned my mouth. We asked for Chardonnay. We got Cabernet. I asked for 6 oz. I got 9 oz and had to pay for such. The server never said he would take my steak back. It took forever to get a glass of wine. I will never return there and I asked the server to relay that to the chef and management. I doubt that they care. It's a shame because I used to enjoy dining there. read more
