My parents and I dined in today for lunch. Our server was Bradley. Elsewhere Outback Steakhouse advertised the $14.99 three-course combo, which is a jaw-droppingly generous deal given this economy. The menus the host gave us didn't have that three-course combo special featured anywhere, so we asked our server for it, so don't forget to ask because it doesn't seem to be proactively presented in the restaurant. He presented a crumpled up menu from which we ordered two baked potato soups, two house salads with ranch, one grilled shrimp dish, one chicken tenders dish, and one chicken breast sandwich. Also, a spicy marg. Everything tasted fantastic! Let's start with the baked potato soup, which was a hit---hot, great portion, excellent flavor with cheese and chunks of potato that improved the overall experience. The salad was an ample portion with iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, tomato, cucumber, croutons, onions, and ranch already drizzled on top. The chicken tenders were a generous portion and served up hot and crispy outside and juicy inside. The shrimp was fresh and arranged together in an assembly of eight over some fresh bread. The chicken sandwich was tender, properly cooked, a thick slab, and lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and a delicious Outback signature sauce that truly made the sandwich pop. The spicy margarita wasn't as spicy as I expected it to be and more sugary than alcohol-y. There's a Ziosk device at the table, so you can order apps and desserts (but not entrees) directly from there as well as process your payment if paying by credit card. Bradley was attentive, friendly, consistent, patient, and professional. We would definitely be back. read more

Huge shoutout to Outback for the exceptional service on a busy Saturday evening. We originally planned to go to Texas Roadhouse, but the long wait times led us to Outback instead and we're so glad they did. It had been a while since our last visit and our daughter needed a good steak to help with her low iron. From the moment we sat down, our server Mark went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was attentive, friendly, and truly made our dining experience enjoyable. Our entire table ordered medium-rare steaks including the kids meal and they were cooked to perfection, which many places tend to overdo when it comes to children's meals. Even the burgers were just right. A big thank you to Mark and the entire Outback team for the excellent food and service. We will definitely be back. read more

Had a terrible experience at this Outback a town where I grew up in and my folks and I went to when it first opened up in the early 90's. The waitress Brenda was rude to us. Even my mom who is in her 70's couldn't believe how rude she was. I spoke out because I'm of color and could spot the racism from a mile away. So if you go there and are brown or black avoid Brenda. read more

Two weeks ago we had the BEST SERVER attend to us, his name is RICHARD, so with such a great experience (this guy was friendly, professional, made amazing recommendations for meals & drinks!) - We decide to return. Tonight, my hubby and I arrived for dinner around 7pm. Hubby ordered: Steak with Potato Soup & Ceasar Salad The steak was good but next time he order without the combo strings and cheese, kinda took away from steak flavor. No biggie. Potato soup was too garlicky and milky, and salad was as expected - yummy! My order: Perfectly Salmon with Broccoli and Tasmanian Chili Soup. Salmon and broccoli way too salty for me. Slightly disappointed in the advertising menu! The Menu advertise as sides, seasonal rice AND veggies not OR, my server disagreed and said it's either or. Outback please edit your menu. Appetizer: cheese fries - delicious! Thank you Drinks: blue moon, and pineapple martini. Service was still great read more

It's been getting better. Using the app has been making things better. When I called orders in things always got messed up. Now that we use the app it's better than it was. We stopped coming for years because our orders kept getting messed up. It's been horrible for a long time. Since the app it's truly been better. Orders have been 85-87% right now and the food is better. Our only issue is still certain items being over cooked. The chicken breast and the size of the potatoes. Seriously ... my Barbie doll wouldn't get full off some of these meals. The sweet potatoes are smaller than a baby's fist and instead of giving 2 they think one is acceptable. This is why we stopped tipping pick ups. The quality is not the same as if we dined in. Why isn't it the same as if we were sitting there? So we don't tip since we can't get treated better either. Maybe it will get corrected but I doubt it. read more

Epic customer service via Johana! She was very attentive making sure our food was great, drinks refilled, that my girlfriend got the A1 sauce she wanted and that we were completely satisfied! Thank you so much! I tweeted the info on X too. read more

Outback is not a fine dining experience, so don't expect Prime Filet, they use Choice cut. Their food is prepared well but you can only do so much with choice cut filet. I ordered the Surf and Turf, 6 oz Filet and a very small 4 oz lobster tail. This time , the lobster was chewy, the filet always the same. You should sit away from the bar. The person at the bar serves the complete bar and the tables around it. As a result, service can be slow and spotty, not the servers fault. Outback food is okay, but if you also eat at a fine dining venue, Outback can't match that. The prices aren't too high, even though you get choice filet and a baby lobster tail. read more

The restaurant was very clean and the service wasn't bad. Our food came fast and was hot. It was my first time at this location and I am not sure if I will go back. There was nothing to run home and talk about. read more

Take out order of entre salad, large chunks if lettuce, not much else, disappointing.

Outback is the best restaurant in my opinion. The food is always so good . They bring you bread when you sit down and tip always ask for honey butter it is so good. The appetizers are also delicious and don't get me started on the dessert so delicious. The service is amazing everyone is so nice . They also are so nice when it is your birthday,I always go on my birthday. In conclusion it is always packed because it is that good read more

We love this Outback! The service is great (ask for Richard) and their always trying to exceed the expectations for the guests. They can get busy so if you don't have the app and get on the wait list before you arrive it might be 15-40min sometimes to get seated. The Steaks are cooked to perfection, if your not into that the New Pork Medallions are awesome. The Pork Porterhouse is just as good. The adult beverage selection is a great compliment to the meal and dessert is a great way to top off the meal. Look, as many restaurants they have a slip or two, however they work at making it right. Deborah and Kenny along with Angelia are awesome as is Angie Server and Richard. read more

Fast service and Brenda was an excellent server!! She was thorough and kind. Food was good!

I had the best service I've had in a long time! My server "Rich" was beyond exceptional. He was professional, courteous and fun and friendly! The food was typical Outback! I had a Filet and I asked for medium and it was perfect! If Rich is not promoted or rewarded; it would be sad! He really went above and beyond! I talked to him and found out he is a Marine Corps veteran. Rich outstanding! I would definitely go back and ask that Rich be my server! Well done! read more

Outback Steakhouse - NEW Aussie Chook Ribs* Large Stella and a Woodford - Steakhouses Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Great service from Noah! Went there to celebrate a birthday. Noah was very attentive and had a great personality!

This last few times it's been horrible. This past Sunday it was so dirty outside. We got there at noon. our waitress literally took our order and that was about it. Our sodas came out after mixed drink that was ordered. The guy serving the same area was doing everything then she got sat a 8top and he had to add them to his list of things to do. The new seats are already torn and completely horrible to sit on with shorts or a dress. I had to get something for me and my girls to sit on. Pics included read more

Well, the only good thing about this Outback was our waiter, Noah. This young man was very respectful and was always asking if we were good. Five stars for Noah. Now, the food. Apps were good, Teaser salad had way too much dressing. So, I ordered the porterhouse, medium to medium rare. Steak came out cold and raw (purple). Tough to cut and just horrible. Noah asked if I wanted to get another steak. I ended up ordering the bone in ribeye. The manager brought out the ribeye and checked to see if it was done to my liking. At first, I thought it was cooked perfectly. When I bit into it, it tasted like liver. Then, upon further inspection, the ribeye was thin. So thin you could fax it without any issue. On top of that, it was overcooked. Wasn't even well done, but more like congratulations. So disappointed. The Outback we used to go to in Germantown, md, closed recently. We thought we would drive 45 minutes and try this one. Nope. My daughter ordered a slice of cheesecake, which I thought the manager would comp us, but didn't. Now. I believe that you should tip your server for doing a good job. That's why I still tipped Noah 22 percent of the total bill, with the steaks included, even though they were taken off the bill. Noah deserved it. Oh well. read more

I have, across the past 12 years, eaten with my wife at this restaurant perhaps a couple of dozen times. since the advent of the pandemic and all of the attendant rules, we have never visited the shop again, and instead, have ordered only via DoorDash and other meal delivery services. Whenever I have eaten at the restaurant, I have always found the service to be quite competent, the menu to have a suitably wide range of offerings, and the food to be very good. Since we have been ordering only via meal delivery services, that is, since early 2020, I have continued to find the menu offerings to be suitably broad and varied, and have continued to find the food quality to be always very good. While my wife particularly likes their steak offerings, I love the past offerings and also their hamburgers -- I very much appreciate that they allow you to tell the kitchen the degree of cooking for the burger, and, in my case, I tend to order only very rare, while my wife orders extremely rare. I often purchase multiples of their pasta and seafood dishes, and multiples (perhaps 5 to 8 at a time) of their burgers (customized, of course, to my preferences), and then re-package most of them and put them in the deep freezer for use in future meals. BTW, even their mashed potatoes are very good! One thing that I simply MUST mention is that whenever my wife or I have ordered custom-cooked or custom-prepared items, whether they be steak or hamburgers or other dishes, the kitchen ALWAYS manages to cook the dish exactly as we had requested, and I have NEVER found them to make a mistake with any order yet. In fact, they even ALWAYS manage to cook pre-specified extremely rare and medium rare steaks and burgers EXACTLY as requested, and without fail. If and when the pandemic restrictions ever end, I would dearly love to visit this restaurant again in person to eat, with my wife, and/or with one or more of our occasional out-of-town visitors. However, in the interim, it works quite well to order from this restaurant via DoorDash and via other meal delivery services. BTW, in normal times, that is, pre-pandemic restriction times, whenever we have wanted to visit a local restaurant with out-of-town guests, and when we have NOT wished to eat Indian, Chinese, sushi, or other Asian cuisine, well, Outback Steakhouse has always been our sole go-to restaurant for steaks, burgers and for so-called American and/or so-called Australian dishes! read more

I'll update when we actually get a table, but we had a reservation. Arrived and told 25 minute wait. The next people were walk ins. They were told the same wait time. Reservation was useless. They don't actually reserve anything. read more

I don't know what's happened to Outback in Frederick. MD. It used to be the happenist place on the west side of town. I havent seen a waiting line in years now and after last nights experience there I understand why. I've been to this location 3 times in the last 5 months. The first time, it took them 4 tries to get a simple steak cooked correctly. What a waste of food. Second time was an average visit. The server, Jarrod, appeared insecure and inexperienced. The third visit, last night, was poor throughout the visit. Jarrod couldn't seem to handle simple instructions. The bar was completely EMPTY, There was no one sitting at the bar. We ordered our drinks, no one at the bar, very few customers in the entire place and it took 7-9 minutes to get our drinks. I finally had to ask a manager,, who was poorly dressed and didn't make much of an impression, to find our drinks. The brought them to us one and a time. The drink issue just got worse as the visit bore on. This place has never recovered from the pandemic and with its average to below average food and the lack of experienced, confidant servers and bartenders that stand around shooting the breeze rather than working their service bar, I truly wonder how long they will be here. I'm sure their numbers have been awful for a year or more. At any rate, I finally used all my gift cards and dont EVER plan to go back to my once favorite place and I'm sad for it. Their regional manager should send in some secret shoppers, have them sit in the bar and get the skinny on what's happened at this once very popular watering hole.

Over all the experience was fine. When we got seated the waiter was slow to come to the table because he had a lot of table. Ones he got our order we had no concerns. He was very attentive with us. We appreciate him apologizing for taking longer than expected to first come over. read more

Outback in Frederick has consistently good food with great service. Management needs to step it up with support and training. Lunch here 3 weeks ago and the food was terrible which was a real surprise. Crappy cut of steak, brown inedible lettuce in salad and over cooked/burnt fried shrimp. I don't know what's happening at this location but its not good. read more

Brittany was our server at the Frederick, Maryland location. The place was buzzing but she managed to be super attentive throughout the meal. Circled back quickly after salad came to offer more dressing. Kept our warm bread replenished and intuitively knew when a glass needed refilled. The food is predictable but Brittany made the meal delicious! read more

I ordered from Outback Steakhouse a few days ago using DoorDash and there was an issue with the selection on one of my favorite dishes. I called the store and spoke with the manager to explain and ask if they can just fix it so my order is correct. He was very rude and said I'm not giving away free food! I didn't ask that and I paid for it. It was too late for me to cancel my order so when I received it, I was hesitant to eat it and here's why, there was 8 kookaburra wings and at least 4 where raw inside like this. So upset that not only was my order wrong but they may have uncooked these wings on purpose and I spent $80. Thank goodness that DoorDash refunded me half of the money for their mistake but OUTBACK sucks for not being understanding and not helping fix the situation before I had to write this review. Will NOT be going there ever again after being a 20 yr. loyal customer. read more

This is for curbside to go (online ordering) and I rarely if ever have a problem with them but this time I felt all around was a horrible experience. I ordered online while my family and I were at Verizon. I show up a little early expecting to wait a little extra which I'm fine with, but not as long as I had waited for the poor quality food we received. We ordered 2 full size orders of the bacon cheese fries and BOTH were missing bacon! One of them looked like it had a sorry attempt of putting a few pieces of leftover scraps of bacon but seriously? To pay as much as we do for these and get cheese fries that I can make better at home?! On top of it all, when I asked for an extra piece of bread for my mom, the girl acted like it would've been too much to walk all the way back inside and then back outside. Well if I didn't have 4 different people coming up to my car, asking different questions each time, taking a payment, different one returning with change, another asking if I had been helped, then she would have realized I asked for extra bread a while back. Guess that didn't get passed on throughout the millions of "outdoor" servers. Outback has gone down in quality in general. COVID has been going on for a while now so this is definitely no excuse because outback has had their curbside to go for a long time. read more

Came in with my bf and his mom for a late lunch/early dinner on Saturday. We were sat immediately. The server was wonderful. She was quick and pleasant and checked in enough but wasn't intrusive. We got a blooming onion which was such a disappointment. Usually I think colossal sized onion that's on the very of wtf why is it so big. But this one was so very small. Wasn't very hot. And the crunchy of it just kinda fell off whenever you touched it. Disappointing. The salads that we got were good. My Cesar was a little over dressed but good. I got a steak and broccoli. My mid rare was a touch over cooked. But still good. The broccoli was small amount of the tree part and huge stalks. Again disappointing. My Bf got a steak and a baked potato. His steak also over cooked. He got a lobster tail(idk why it's a steak place) and it too was over cooked and rubbery. Potato was good though. His mom got an over cooked steak as well (both of theirs were mid well). But her lobster tail wasn't over cooked. Over all the quality didn't justify the price. I would of been happier if things were cooked better but it was several mistakes and I didn't want to be that table that sent most of it back. We won't return. read more

We had good reason to celebrate, deciding to order over$100 from Outback. Always outstanding, very worth the extra expense. But, well, this time everything, and I mean everything was just dreadful. Even the "steak" filet mignon, was a dreadful mess, short, cold, dried out leather. Veggies tasteless. Even drinks lacked any flavor. And the crab! I sent note via email to say how disappointing everything was. First time I ever saw Outback failing. Bad day? Be sure to be explisite in placing any order. Hope they improve! read more

Do you not go for curbside pick up. We went yesterday I ordered cheese fries at 6:08 PM. The latest it would be ready would have been 6:37 PM. We arrived and parked our car at about 6:20pm. We waited I received a message that our order was for filled at 6:33 meantime lots of people came and went with their food. Now remind you we only ordered cheese fries so we went up to the door about 640 and requested our money back. After asking two ladies where our food was they never came back to us and responded. We asked two different people for our money back finally the manager comes out with the food and says oh it just came out. He did refund our money and gave us the food. We drove to the front of the of the building in the parking lot to eat the cheese fries when we open them up they were cold the cheese was dried up I don't know how it just came out I believe they were sitting there for probably 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore I am not happy with the service the food the curbside pick up in general. I give this restaurant a low rating for their mistakes and their lies. A manager had requested that I go to outback/contact and put in a review that I would be contacted. I have done so and I have yet to be contacted I have also completed the survey that was emailed to me. Why respond to my yelp review when your company truly does not care. read more

I know it's a chain and I'll admit that I'm biased as I've been going to this Outback Steakhouse for over fifteen years. But there really isn't an American, mid-tier chain restaurant better than Outback Steakhouse, and their location in Frederick is outstanding. The staff is capable and friendly. There's tons of tvs around to watch sports. Of course, the cheese fries are the best appetizer. Ask for them layered. And be sure to get the bread. For entrees, the Victoria's center cut filet is my favorite steak, though the ribeye cooked over the flame is a close second. The Alice Springs chicken is delicious and a great option if you want something lighter. I'd also recommend the lamb. Don't bother saving room for dessert. read more

Not a good experience. I ordered Prime Rib. Sorry, no Prime Rib tonight. So, I ordered a 12 oz. Rib Eye medium rare. Sorry, it came out, but well done. Now, I'm eating my vegetables and baked potato waiting for the steak that needed to be re-fired. By the time it came out, veggies and potatoes gone. The portion of the "Rib Eye" that was actually beef was cooked properly, but 30% of it was fat. The manager told me Rib Eyes "usually have about 15% marbling" My guess is, he flunked math in school. Lots of fat and very thin. This has to be the WORST Rib Eye steak I've ever had in a restaurant. The server was nice, she did the best she could. I should have read the room better. The place was virtually empty when I walked in at about 7 pm which is a prime dinner hour. First time I've visited an Outback in several years. Well, so much for that. Never again. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. P.S. Above rating shows 1 Star. Go ahead and take it away and make it zero stars. read more

No complaints at all. read more
