First time here in a long time. Outback is tucked away "off the beaten path" in the Village of Coventry area. The sign towers high off the interstate. You almost need a map (see picture) to figure out how to get there. Getting there requires you to wind behind the Kroger strip mall, thru a round about and then through an apartment complex. This Outback meets the Outback expectations. Same look, feel, decor and menu. The team was very friendly and helpful. The manager escorted us to our table and then proceeded to point out the $10 take-home-entree menu. Our waitress, Maria, did a great job serving us and pacing our dinner experience. The place is large and clean. They have a smaller but attractive bar area. The complimentary table bread is a dark brown honey wheat bread. It was served slightly warm with a plain butter. The bread is slightly sweet, soft but firm and a bit chewy. Nice start! The menu is very large - lots of food and drink selections. It can be a bit difficult to navigate since it is so large. Something for everyone at pretty reasonable prices. My side house salad was very attractive, fresh and tasty. It has a nice variety of side vegetables and crunchy garlic flavored croutons. The honey mustard must be house made as it has a nice mustard zip taste. My wife had the 6 ounce center cut sirloin with a sweet potato. The steak was cooked to expectations, moist and tender. Nice beef taste. The sweet potato was decently large and soft. Easy to mix the butter and cinnamon. Good sweet potato flavor. She enjoyed her entree and side. I ordered the three course meal deal. The half rack of ribs came with a side, salad and dessert for $21.99. I was taken aback that my ribs and large sweet potato came out on one small plate. So small that things easily fell off the plate. Maria did bring me a small plate to put my bones on and another to relocate the sweet potato. The ribs were not very meaty. They were soft and tender. The BBQ sauce was slightly sweet, not spicy and had a very mild BBQ flavoring. Not a traditional western BBQ flavor - just an Aussie flavor! The ribs were good but not outstanding. Cheesecake is the dessert selection. You can select from about six different drizzle flavors. We went with raspberry per Maria's recommendation. The cheesecake was about like you would expect. Soft with a good cheesecake flavor. The raspberry drizzle was slightly sweet with a tame raspberry pop. Overall, a nice dinning experience at a reasonable cost. read more

The visit was smooth and enjoyable. The food arrived warm and tasted fresh. Service was polite and consistent throughout. A good option for a casual meal read more

Wow! Coming in from out of state and we usually have to send back at least one steak for being over done. But our server Kenzie, was kind, helpful and friendly and helped us find the perfect option on the menu! This restaurant was nicely set up in a good location for us to nip in from the interstate on our way to visit a college. read more

All was perfect We each had the potato soup and a salad , very good Music was a little loud but not too loud to talk Service was great!! read more

I love this Outback location. I frequently order lunch or dinner for curbside pickup on the app when I am working in Ft. Wayne. The employees here are very friendly and helpful, and my order is always 100% correct. It has always been ready on time. I especially love the salmon. Outback definitely knows how to cook salmon, it is always seasoned and cooked just right. The carry out orders are well packaged. This location is a little tricky to find. It is highly visible from the interstate, but you have to drive around behind some businesses and through an apartment complex to get to Outback. The first time I came here I was a little lost because my GPS wasn't able to find it. But I quickly figured it out and I have been a regular ever since. read more

It's been years since my husband and I have been to an Outback and it has always been pretty good (different location) but our visit tonight to this Fort Wayne location was just awful. I had the chimichurri filet that comes with onion petals and I had a sweet potato and a Caesar salad and a margarita. My filet was actually decent but it wasn't cooked medium like I asked. I would say more med-rare to rare. Apparently they forgot to drain my onion petals because they were absolutely DRIPPING with oil! They were nasty and I could barely eat them. My Caesar salad was DRENCHED in dressing and had so much black pepper put on it in the kitchen making it entirely too spicy. I've never known them to add black pepper to any salad before they bring it out! My sweet potato was average and the bread was meh. My margarita tasted odd and I couldn't even finish it. My husband had the sirloin and coconut shrimp. His Caesar was as bad as mine. His steak was so extremely tough that he barely choked half of it down and the rest is going home to the dog. The shrimp were dry, cold and lacked flavor. As for the service...it wasn't horrible or anything. But I remember Outback being more like a Logan's or Texas Roadhouse type atmosphere. It's like that's all taken away in this place as if they are trying to make it look a little more upscale with a picture or two of a Kangaroo and a koala and overpriced crap. I can't believe we just wasted so much money there. We will NEVER be back. read more

Probably the best outback steak I have ever had. I am genuinely impressed! Into town for work and this was near my hotel so it was a great carry out option on a snowy night. Anyway the app only offers cut side pickup in a car so I called and the girl working the carry out said it was no issue to walk in and pick up, I think her name may have been Lily but regardless she was awesome! Anyways I got the 22oz porterhouse (T bone) cooked medium rare and it was absolutely exceptional. I'm am in town for work from Chicago and have historically had average/below average experiences at outbacks but this was the absolute opposite and I was blown away. read more

This is my last visit here ... so, let me be brutally honest. This place is awful .... The food - the service - the setting Awful I stopped in for lunch a couple of weeks ago - the heat wasn't working properly but I still stayed. It made my lunch miserable. I ate quickly and left. I stopped in again today, I had the Queensland chicken and shrimp. The picture shows a highly seasoned entree topped with a bed of chicken and shrimp. What arrived to the table was like warm mush noodles topped with warmed chicken and shrimp. I ate the shrimp only. 20.99 down the tube. But as my parents always told me "a bought lesson lingers more than a taught one" I had to pay for this , so it won't be quickly forgotten. My server noticed I wasn't eating and simply asked if I was done, I politely said "yes" - my thought was - I'm not only done - I'm finished!! Second horrible lunch and last visit -- it's never a loss - always a lesson I left 2 stars because the young host is always so kind. read more

Food was great and service was even better. If you come to this outback ask for Marie! She was very polite and good at what she does

There's a reason the place is empty at 6 pm. Not just a tough location, food was typical Outback disappointment. Bartender very cordial but not reason enough to revisit. Steak not good, you'll get better quality most anywhere. Same old same... read more

Outstanding Outback Always first class service The food is always amazing & hot off the grill Perfect ambiance temperature Great Atmosphere & Lively read more

Food is pretty average for chain steak place. Seasoning is decent on the steaks. Not a huge fan of the mushroom and onion steak topper, would skip the add on. Baked potato good. Good ranch for the salad and the French onion soup is pretty good. Blooming onion was tasty. Typical chain restaurant atmosphere. Service was good and price was average. read more

A few days ago, we arrived in town for a funeral. After a long drive, we needed a good, quiet, sit down meal. My son ordered a rib eye, my husband ordered a sirloin and bloomin' chicken, and I ordered the Alice Springs Chickens. I didn't capture any pictures of our meals, we were so famished! But Zoe was a friendly and attentive waitress, the hostess (I forgot her name!) was friendly on our arrival, and the food was delicious. It appeared to be a slow end to the night (from a customer perspective), so we were able to be seated immediately and get off our feet. They also catered our funeral just a few days later, on Sunday afternoon. Chicken wings, chicken tenders, salad, bread, dessert trays. It was a big hit, even under the circumstances. Thank you, Outback. Good food is but a balm for the soul, but my brother would have enjoyed it. It was his favorite restaurant. read more

My family and I have eaten now twice at this Outback Steakhouse and can tell you both the food and service is great! The first time we came here, it was the night before our trip to Miami. We all had some chicken wings to start, which were spicy and flavorful. We then each ordered our main course. I had some delicious pork chops, my mom had some chicken tenders, while my brother had a shrimp and lobster pasta. We enjoyed our meal so much, we returned yesterday to this restaurant. Again we started with those yummy wings. My brother ordered the Bloomin Chicken and my mother once again had some chicken tenders. They both found the meals to be absolutely delish. I ordered a slow roasted prime rib which is only available on weekends. It was tender, literally melted in your mouth. This restaurant is great and we are planning to make it one of our go to spots, when we go to Fort Wayne. read more

I was nearby and wanted to have quick bite. Got my usual K-wings which did not disappoint. Daniel at bar was a very good server. You'll need some navigation skills to find the place - but afterwards you'll know where everything else is in Coventry. read more

Food is good, but our ordered carry-out on 2/26 was Bad construction. 1-ordered salad with salmon. When looked at my order at home, salmon, no salad! 2-ordered a potato with everything. When looked at home, a potato, with nothing. 3-when picking up the order, I went to pay with gift cards, was told only can use one card. Good grief read more

This is overall the best place to eat in Fort Wayne, hands down. The food is superb, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is excellent. Sure, you can get 'better food' elsewhere in FW but you are going to pay a lot more. And likewise, you can go elsewhere and pay less, but the food and service is not as good. The staff must have a gem of a Manager because we travel and have gone to many other Outback's, but they don't compare to the one in the Fort. read more

The apps were good. Blooming Onion, Mac n Cheese bites. They were hot and crispy as they should be. The rest of our meals ? Haha. My sirloin steak was embarrassingly bad !! Tough as hell. Very dry. Sooo chewy I spit it out. My fries were barely cooked. Cold and limp. My Cesar Salad drowned in dressing. I ate a bite then ate the croutons. My Coconut Shrimp were awesome. So I just ate them. No seasoning on anything on that sad plate. My Husband had Chicken n Steak Alfredo. Chicken was moist but NO SEASONING ! The pasta had very little sauce kinda dry he said. The steak on his plate was chewy too. He ate 2 pieces, and pushed the other cut up (by the kitchen)pieces off the plate onto empty app plates. The waitress finally came by asked us if we need to go containers. Uuuh no. She got the Manager. He is a very nice guy. Took my dinner off the bill. He could see I only ate a small sawed through piece of steak. I did eat those yummy 4 pieces of Coconut Shrimp. Thank you Manager for being a great understanding Man. Would we go back ? NOT for any STEAK that's for sure. No fries either. Can't anyone make crispy HOT FRIES ????? Would probably get a Coconut Shrimp dinner. Unless of course they are served cold,burnt or undercooked. Service was just okay. They were a bit busy, but not crowded. Had many tables open and the dingy hostess sat us waaaaaay in the back of the place. Guess why !? Maybe get carry out shrimp. Maybe cold anyway when served. You all enjoy. read more

Was here on Saturday, will never go again. The server wrote down the wrong burger order and then told me it was what I ordered, like I didn't know what I ordered, I tried eating it it wasn't good, kind of tasted like it'd been in the microwave. I gave a tip only because my guest enjoyed their meal otherwise I wouldn't have. Never again. read more

Service is top tier! Waiter is patient and kind. Ambiance is amazing here everyone seems happy and glad to be here. Food comes out fast and fresh! Bread and bloomin onion were top notch. Steak came out hot and fresh!! I would definitely come back read more

Surprisingly, after living here in Fort Wayne for three years, I finally decided to try one of my favorite franchises of all time for steak. I've been holding off for many years because of the reviews that I've read, but I was pleasantly surprised on my experience. I would highly recommend that you call ahead for reservation or else you may have to have a long wait, we were promptly seated after only waiting for about 10 minutes and our server was wonderful. I was really excited to order the prime rib, but she was honest enough to tell me that unfortunately the prime rib was cooked too much so it could not be served medium rare that breath of honesty is what is sorely needed. I decided to go with the ribeye which was cooked to order medium rare, the seasoning is always was spot on. Also it's great to see the wonderful outback bread and butter still unchanged after so many years. I only wish they offered to give us more bread after we finished our two loaves. read more

We will no longer be ordering delivery from here. Every time in the last 10 months we have tried the orders are wrong. We figured having had a few months pass it would be good to try again. Wrong! Incomplete and missing items. The last order we had an entree and no sides. No bread. No potato toppings. No sauce on a pasta dish. And no bread. Wrong sides. Previous orders have had entire meals missing. Sides missing. No bread. Incorrectly prepared sides. This was a Mother's Day meal for elderly parents who no longer eat out, but love Outback food. This totally ruined the meal. I would not order from here and expect anything to be correct. read more

My husband and I went to outback tonight and the food was great, atmosphere was great, but the best part of all was the excellent service by Rae! He gave great suggestions and was very attentive. We can't wait to come back!! read more

Wow! I and 8 friends dined at Outback in Fort Wayne last weekend. We have never been treated so royally and any restaurant. The service was impeccable! Ray, our server, was attentive, thoughtful, and a delight. We each ordered a different entree, and everyone raved about their meal. My husband and I always choose the wedge salad and loaded baked potato as sides. They are heavenly. The restaurant manager even stopped by our table, to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed - so gracious. Outback is always such a great experience. It has such a comfortable and tasteful atmosphere, and the staff are always so friendly. Also, the entire building is kept so clean and tidy, which I appreciate. We hesitate to try other restaurants when we know we will be happy at Outback. read more

How you gonna do me like that Outback Steakhouse. My sons kid meal was bigger and better. Over cooked and over seasoned. Damn did we piss y'all off or something. Ordered a hamburger asked for nothing on it. Especially NO pickles. Burger had over 15 pickles on it. Once again. Did we piss y'all off? ‍ Definitely woulda ordered Birthday dinner elsewhere. It wasn't cheap. Only thing I can say. That the hostess was a pure delight. What a sweet girl. I hope the cheesecake is fire. $135 after all said and done. Smh read more

Outback Steakhouse - This is a 6oz steak. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ft. Wayne, Indiana

Classic Merica - fat and sodium for days, large menu full of popular favorites, excellent service, fantastic value compared to a few higher end steakhouses, and only lacking a great burger to match all the rest! Our group of six enjoyed all the goods, steak, ribs, pasta, and salmon. The ahi, chicken quesadilla, and Mac n cheese balls did us right to start things too. Should also say the chicken quesadilla is far better than the beef, and the shrimp appetizers are also huge hits on previous visits. I'd like more hot sauce options and drinks for my own personal tastes. Texas has an amazing in house not sauce that's so ripe on ribs. The strawberry bull beverage is the only real original here, wish there were a few others to enhance the dining. Also so much salt in everything isn't healthy at all but always a good time here and will be back. read more

So I ordered a delivery via doordash Never received the complimentary bread Steak was undercooked I ordered well done it was medium well... The butter container that was for my baked potato was all melted and it was so hot that it leaked into the container with my steak and baked potato so needless to say I have butter all over the place.. very disappointed as I love outback But to pay $29.99 for a steak and then not get it cooked the way you like it is very disappointing. I look forward to also getting their bread and none came with my order... read more

I eat at Outback often, recommend skipping this one. In town on business ordered an old fashioned it was bad, really bad tasted like bad skunk beer. Had the filet it was definatley cooked in a pan. Not just seared in a pan but cooked in one. Outside was burnt should have been medium but was almost totally raw on the inside. Potato was under cooked likely thrown in a microwave it tasted like salt it had almost no toppings but was totally covered in large chunks of salt. Side salad was the shining star of the meal. Location is almost as bad as the meal not easy to find. read more

Had dinner here tonight and only had two good things. Waitress was nice and efficient and the loaded fries were good. That was it. I ordered the ribeye and shrimp with asparagus and a loaded baked potato. My steak was thin full of fat and tendons and it was cold. The shrimp were over seasoned and undercooked and cold. The asparagus were over cooked and limp with the woody ends still on them. Eww. My husband order the Queensland chicken pasta minus the shrimp. His chicken was over seasoned so much that you couldn't taste the chicken and the pasta sauce was like water. Will never come here again. Food has gone downhill, prices are way up and it's not the servers fault. This is poor quality control in the kitchen. Sad when the only good food were French fries. Another note the music was really loud and there were two different songs playing at the same time. Super annoying!! Hostesses were sitting with their feet up on a cushion out front when we were leaving, very unprofessional. They did say goodbye to us LOL. read more

Party of 6 and 6 ordered 6 oz sirloin. I am not sure what cut of meat that was but it was tough and didn't taste like sirloin. Very chewy meat and no one finished their steaks. My daughter was visiting out of town so that was my Mother's Day dinner talk about a big disappointment We won't be back! The floor was slippery (,greasy) so had to shuffle. I'm sure the health department would be very interested in this! We had 6 people in our party and price wise our dinners were horrible. Meat tough at medium and look like they were cut in a rectangle. Price was high for indecent food. Did not cause a ruckus at the time which would have embarrassed my daughter and she was paying. I am complaining now and will frequent Texas Roadhouse instead. 5 of 6 ordered sirloin. The porterhouse at a really high price was overseasoned and so was the macaroni and cheese sides. The teens did not eat that either Pretty sad! read more

Our server Haley T was awesome. Very attentive and friendly. Food honestly wasn't the greatest and definitely not worth the cost. My husband got steak and shrimp. There were only 4 small shrimps on his steak. Not sure if that's standard but definitely disappointing. read more

The service was AMAZING!!! We had Daniel J as our Server in the bar area and he checked up on us, gave us extra bread with no judgement!! Got me a to go drink without being asked!! He was so thoughtful he even got me a to go honey mustard. I would 100% come back here just to have this level of service! The food was also just as amazing, we both got chicken, was ever good. And Daniel if you're reading this, thank you! read more

Went to outback and got Terry as our server. Food was great and service was wonderful. Definitely recommend.

Excellent Food YUMMY!!!! Caesar Salad is always great. The steaks are are the best in town and the seasoning can't be beat!!! I love Outback. Always have and always will!!! Outback Steakhouse Kicks Ass!!! Yummy I cannot wait to eat thee again. Lol read more

Good service, food was very good. I left my I pad in the booth, went next am and manager had my I pad in the safe! Thanks to the staff for there honesty! Would definitely recommend this location to all. read more

Was there on 11/6/21, came in around 6:30pm and was told there was an hour wait, which was not an issue. Sadly that hour turned into like an hour and a half and we watched people who came in after us get seated. It was me and my daughter and there were other tables of only two people sat before us. The young man seating people really needs to do a better job. He looked at us numerous times the asked what our name was under as if we just strolled in and didn't check in first. He had the personality of stick in the mud really. That is the reason why you lost a star. The rest of the experience was worth 5 stars all day. Food was excellent. Service was great. Brandon was the best server ever. He checked on us regularly. He thanked us for being nice to him, which tells me other guests weren't. He was busting his butt to get his tables taken care of in a busy rush. I could not of done it so I commend him for his hard work. I will be back because of him! read more

Always great, attentive dine-in service and fresh food. The Salmon is excellent, not "fishy" tasting. Prime Rib doneness was as requested. A recent online-ordered take-out for 3 diners went smoothly , on-time, without leaving the car. The Outback iPhone app is pretty lame. read more

The quality of the food this restaurant serves has been hit and miss over the years that I have been going. This time it was not quite a miss or a hit. I ordered blooming onion, bone in New York strip, caesar salad, fries, and a Wallaby Darned mixed drink. Everything tasted good, but my steak temperature was way off. I ordered a medium well and received a rare steak. I would have sent it back, but I was 1/4 done with it before I realized. No one asked me how my steak was. There was a manager named Mark that spent 90% of his time talking to a couple in the bar that was next to our table. He made sure they were having a good experience but didn't bother to make sure everyone else at the restaurant was having a good experience. They must have been friends or family to him, but do your job when your at work. read more

We went here on a busy Saturday night. Our wait was short,but I would recommend getting a reservation especially on weekends or if you have a big group. For our appetizer, we ordered the Aussie Signature Sampler. This appetizer includes Bloomin' onion petals, Mac & Cheese Bites and Cheese Fries. ($9.99) It is a good portion and we had to get it boxed up so we would still have room for our entrees. For my entree, I ordered the Queenland Chicken and Shrimp Pasta, which has grilled chicken and noodles with Parmesan cheese sauce. The pasta was delicious. My other half ordered the Melbourne Porterhouse steak with mashed potatoes and mushrooms. His steak was cooked just right and was a very large portion. The service was good for a busy Saturday night. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more
