"Great food, excellent service, and a bartender who genuinely made the night better." I stopped here after a long haul coming in from Texas, cold, worn out, and honestly just needing one good experience to end a rough two-week stretch. Outback delivered exactly that. Atmosphere -- 5/5 Walked in around 8 PM on a cold Friday night. The restaurant was dim but warm, quiet, and welcoming -- the kind of lighting and tone that feels like a holiday evening without actually having decorations up. Clean, calm, and comfortable. The front staff greeted me with genuine warmth. The night supervisor was professional, attentive, and respectful as soon as I walked in. Service -- 5/5 (I'd give 6 if Yelp allowed it) Jasmine, the bartender who took care of me, was phenomenal from start to finish. Friendly without being fake. Professional without being stiff. Warm without overstepping. She: * greeted me immediately * spoke clearly (rarest skill in a busy bar) * offered menu guidance without pushing anything * checked on me at the right times * never let my drink run dry * confidently explained the food * let me try a sample of a local IPA they were considering adding * and made me feel welcome even though I was a solo traveler walking in with work boots and a hoodie after a long shift This is the kind of service chain restaurants wish they had consistently. Jasmine is a huge asset to this location. Food -- 4.7/5 Chili (cup): Came out fast and piping hot. Rich, hearty flavor with no beans -- easily one of the best cups of chili I've had anywhere. Perfect with their bread and my first amber ale. Steak (ribeye, ordered medium rare): The seasoning and char on the outside were excellent -- great flavor, great crust. The steak did come out more on the rare side once I got deeper into it, but the flavor was strong enough that I still enjoyed the entire thing without complaint. The loaded mashed potatoes were outstanding. Blooming onion petals (side): Crispy, seasoned well, and surprisingly addicting with the dipping sauce. Great flavor, though a full portion is a little heavy for one person -- definitely better as a shared side. Drinks -- 5/5 Tried: * the amber ale on tap * the Blooming Blonde ale with the steak The pairing suggestion was spot-on. Whoever designed that match between the steak and the blonde ale knew what they were doing. Price -- Fair for what I got My total was $91 with drinks, tax, and add-ons. For the service and quality I received -- absolutely worth it. Final Verdict -- 5 Stars This visit was exactly what I needed after a long, cold, exhausting day. Outback Steakhouse in Flagstaff gave me a warm welcome, great food, and some of the best service I've had in a chain restaurant in a long time. If you stop by, sit at the bar and ask for Jasmine. She'll take care of you. read more

The waitress was excellent but the expensive chicken and steak combo was horrible. Two compressed meat slabs on a plate. Tasted like they looked, processed. Will not return because the food is subpar. read more

Food: 4/5 we got the blooming onion appetizer, filet mignon and ribeye with sides plus a bottle of red wine. Everything was pretty good. Service: 3/5 the service was somewhat slow and not very attentive. Location is pretty convenient with plenty of parking. Not bad overall but service could have been better. read more

Close to the freeway is nice. Not as fancy as most and a bit run down, but clean and friendly staff. Ordered a trio meal for just under $15. Came with soup, a hamburger, fries and a click of cheesecake with chocolate sauce. My hamburger was cooked as ordered, but it was falling apart making it difficult to eat. Fries were ok, soup was mediocre and cheesecake was the best part. read more

Rachelle is an amazing server. She was perfect. Our food was hot and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was nice, not very busy being it's a Thursday. Steak and ribs steak was ordered med well but came medium. They took it back and warmed it up more. It was great! The place was walking distance from our hotel. Can't go wrong eating here. read more

Thoroughly impressed with our experience at Outback in Flagstaff. Our food came out promptly and was fresh and delicious. Our server Savannah was a sweetheart and did an excellent job ensuring we had everything we needed. We will for sure stop back in when we are in town next! read more

I've had nothing be great experiences at Outback so I was really looking forward to eating here tonight. BUT... my experience here in Flagstaff is short of the mark. The steak was over salted. The lobster was over cooked and even the dessert was over cooked! Come on! I will give them the benefit of the doubt and come back again and then revise my review. The service was amazing as usual. They obviously like working here and that is a testament to the management. The ambiance is sports bar and that's great for me. Lots of TVs in the bar area and just the way it should be. Enjoy! read more

Food was great! My steak was cooked a nice medium and came out pretty fast after the appetizer. Got the chimichurri filet which I've had at another location- this one tasted much more vinegary. Service was meh. The guy was nice but barely checked on us when we needed things and took a while to bring the check. Ranch is delicious! read more

I had recently posted a review after receiving a less than adequate steak meal at the Outback. It was unusual, as the steaks have consistently been excellent. After reaching out to the manger, Craig Ludwig, about my experience, he made everything right as promised. I got a comped meal yesterday, and my partner's meal was also comped. Mike, our server, was wonderful in working this issue out without a problem, and both our meals were extra tasty! Thank you, Craig Ludwig, and the Outback staff in Flagstaff! You are excellent! read more

We stopped by for a quick meal after a day of visiting Walnut Canyon and were surprised Outback was relatively empty. This was good news for us because we received great service. I had the chicken on the Barbie and asparagus, both of which were fantastic. My mom had a ribeye and baked sweet potato. The ribeye wasn't cooked exactly as ordered, but she took it to go and can cook it a bit more for her next meal (it was 13 ounces!). We are just passing through Flagstaff but I would visit this Outback again if I was in the area. read more

We were a party of 10 I know it is a lot of people, But it doesn't help when you don't come by at all for a few minutes without taking our drinks or even a hi. Takes order of drinks and 25min pass by and come and say you're gonna be right with us and wait 15min more. We just want to eat and have a nice service but it's really hard for them to just attend you. Also we're split in half since we were a big party but would always forget us or wouldnt even bring us the right drinks to or table even though we were in the same party!! read more

Xavier (Chester Cheeto) was the best server we've encountered when it comes to bringing our 22 month old son with us! He played peekaboo, gave him two toys and had his order in almost instantly. The food was also great but from one server to another, fantastic service! read more

Love outback but I don't think we will return. Ordered the porterhouse. It was thin! Thin!!! Overcooked. For almost 50 bucks. My sister and my steaks were the small Sirloins but were also really small. Our steaks were undercooked for the medium ordered and shoe leather on the porter. Nice enough staff. But Come on they can see the steak was wrong. Never checked on us. The bloom is half the size these days. Just won't be back-well over a hundred bucks and it wasn't worth half that. Just such a shame they would think this passes for acceptable. read more

If like dust falling on you $36 steak plate, this place is for you ..... The food was just ok, wife's Prime rib was 1/3 fat, my rib eye was meh, granddaughter's pasta was undercooked. Highlight, was the salad, lol..... Everyone I have asked to about the dust was like, ya that should have been cleaned .. No attempt was made to adjust the check ( which was over $130 without a tip).. I wonder what else isn't clean????? read more

Here for a weekday lunch with two kids. Very disappointing. Not busy but waited at the hostess stand. The server seemed rushed at all times. The kids ordered steaks medium and they were WELL DONE. (They even looked over cooked.) She put the food down and we never saw her again until the end. The kids were hungry and did not want to wait. My salmon was good, entree salad ok. She told me to use the table kiosk to pay - I did but there was NO printed receipt option and I did not want to give Outback my cell or email. At this price point we will not be back. read more

We ate at Outback tonight because it was late, it was close to the hotel and a Bloomin' Onion is always a great idea. It was clean, warm and welcoming like every Outback we've ever been to. It was a Friday night but there wasn't a wait and our order came quickly. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions were great... except those onions seem to keep getting smaller... Tamara was amazing and just helps prove that it's the people in Flagstaff that make it so wonderful. She was lovely and made dinner after a 10 hour road trip even better. read more

I've eaten at outbacks before and the food is always good, but had to leave a review about what a great experience we had at this particular location. The difference for me from other dining experiences is always the "above and beyond" level of service, and definitely feel like we got that here. Hostess was accommodating (we asked to be seated at the bar) and our server was Jazmine, who was welcoming of our arrival. She was quick and efficient, all the while holding genuine conversation and gave us suggestions on things to do since we were staying in town. Will definitely visit again on our next trip, thanks Jazmine! read more

Service is very good. Unfortunately I can't say the same for prime rib. The baked potato and broccoli both good, prime rib was bland and tasteless. Maybe other entrees good but definitely pass on this. read more

Well to begin my comments, the waiter was great, I don't know his name but he's been there for a while. My friend and I went in last thursday for lunch at 12:15PM. Not many folks at the establishment at this point. we ordered the spinach dip app, a beer and a cocktail. beer and cocktail came pretty quickly since the waiter was also the bartender. the app came pretty soon after. We ordered 2 of the lunch specials, 6 shrimp and a steak sandwich. We both ordered salad with the meal, the salad came out in 30 minutes and my salad was drenched. I sat it aside and did not want another as it was part of my meal. 1:20 we received our entrees, we immediately asked for boxes as we had a prior engagement. The server was so apologetic and said the manager saw everything. The manager even took a dirty plate from our table. I said to the waiter, i feel like we waited over an hour for our lunch and I want some kind of discount. He talked to the manager and he presented the bill with $8.00 off and 2 free blooming' onion coupons. At this point I'm a little frustrated and want to talk to the manager. Mr.Craig Ludwig came to our table, with his hands on his hips and said "is there a problem"? I proceeded to tell him that the $8.00 wasn't enough compensation and i really didn't feel like I needed to pay for the meals. I politely said you can have these meals, I will happily pay for the drinks. He scooped up the boxed meals and left. Came back with the bill for the 2 cocktails. No apology, nothing to keep me and my friend coming back to our local Outback. I paid, and as I was leaving he said "thanks for coming in!" I have been in this industry most of my adult life and would NEVER treat a guest this way. I would've gone above and beyond to keep the business of my local people. This behavior is unacceptable and I will not return as long as Mr. Lugwig's name is on the building. read more

Stopped in here for a light meal before bedtime on our trip through Flagstaff. It is basically in the same parking lot as the hotel where we stayed (La Quinta). Shared a coconut shrimp app, and we each had a chopped pecan and bleu cheese salad. Hubby had a Glenlivet scotch and I had an old fashioned cocktail. $52 but everything was super delicious and our waiter Xavier was Top Notch! His careful attention to detail and first-rate service made our meal a delightful experience. I highly recommend this Outback Steakhouse, and a special shout out and Thank you to Xavier! read more

We use to love this restaurant until today. We ordered 3 lunches. 2 were steak and potatoes and the other was a grilled chicken sandwich. Our steaks were so tough that you could not chew them and the chicken was burnt. Not a great experience. The blooming onion was also nasty, very greasy and under cooked. What happened to this place? read more

I went in with family that came to visit and we had German as a server. He was absolutely incredible!!!!! He made it fun, was on top of everything at our table, and he even got us a free dessert for my aunties anniversary!! I would absolutely go again and most of being thanks to the great service! It's rare you have a fun, patient, and diligent server!! read more

Food was good, baked potato was quite salty. The bad part of our family lunch experience was our waitress serving our table. No drink refills even upon request. We had to stop eating because we had nothing to drink. I had to wander around and get my own to-go boxes. She left the bill without saying anything. After waiting and waiting for her to check us out she didn't come around. So once again, I had to find a cashier to take my money. I'm usually a good tipper; not today. I hope she has better days and able to handle multiple tables at once read more

The restaurant was clean and comparable to other outback steakhouse restaurant's we been to. We choose to order off the lunch menu and we substituted the fries for the chili, and onion soup. The chili and onion soup were both good and we would recommend. The only complaint we had was the serving size. The prime rib sandwich seemed small...about half a sandwich. The Alice springs chicken lunch dish was good. Service was Ok and our server kept our drinks filled. OK experience, and don't expect to bring home a doggy bag for a $45 lunch! read more

Went with family to Outback Steakhouse and it was great as always. Great food and the steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it. The wings were perfect, and so were their awesome cheese fries. It can be a little pricey but worth it, definitely recommended. read more

Prime rib was flavorful and cooked to the temp I ordered. I really like their house ranch dressing and the baked potato was soft and fluffy inside. The lobster special they were running was not worth it, the lobster was small and tough. Otherwise the quality at this location has been good and consistent. Service was good. read more

We came to this restaurant after we had a horrible experience at the Texas Roadhouse right down the road. The service was great. Everyone was very nice and attentive. There was no wait, so we got right in. The food was delicious as well. So glad that we ended up here instead of Texas Roadhouse. read more

My wife and I were traveling through crazy weather decided to stop in and eat. Young boy waited on us did a good job said he was in college. Wasn't a bad meal but everything is all the cart. Beers are 7.50 each for the ones we had Our bill was about $70 with a tip. For the two of us. Not sure if I would actually eat there again wasn't that good for the money and the portions were definitely not very large. But again just my opinion. read more

Don't eat here. I ordered prime rib and it wasn't close to edible. Looked like it had been under a heat lamp all day. Nasty.

I had a good time at outback. First time eating there and I had great service German was very attentive and nice.

We went because it was close to the park we visited in Flagstaff. I knew that the reviews weren't good, but we tried anyway. My husband's salad was good. My steak was cooked right (med-rare), but it was SUPER fatty. I know that the rib-eye is generally more marbled, but this was at least 1/3 fat. My son and DIL's steaks were overdone. Strangely, my son's was cooked a bit med-rare on one end, but it was almost well done on the other. I don't know if their grill has hot spots? Anyway, they did replace the steaks and even comp'd one of them. So they really did try to make it right. They only got 4 stars because the second steak was way UNDERdone (it was barely rare instead of med-rare). But we didn't say anything because I had already shared half of my steak with my son and we didn't want to wait for a third steak. We took it home and cooked it more the next day. It's really too bad.The wait-staff were great and the kitchen seemed to be trying, but they just couldn't pull it off. read more
