first time at outback steakhouse, and overall, the food was really solid! the bread was good, but i definitely wish there was more--i love bread. the dining room was pretty empty, but it had that classic chain steakhouse feel. the blooming chicken was super tender and juicy, and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. the reason for the low rating was the service. even though there were only two other tables, it was pretty slow. we asked for ketchup and ranch when our food came, but it took over 5 minutes to get it--i had already finished my chicken by then. we also asked for more bread but never got it (not sure if it's unlimited or not). kind of disappointing, but at least the food was good! i'd probably give it another shot--maybe it was just an off day. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak & chicken w/ sweet potato and broccoli - Steakhouses Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

Service was bad. Too many different servers coming to the table and none of them talking to each other. "Do you want bread?" "Didn't someone bring your bread?" "Have you not gotten your meal yet?" .......!!!!!!!!....... Do you see food in front of me?? And when we finally did get our food, they destroyed the meat with so much garlic we burped it for two days. Realized Outback is not the place to stop when on a road trip. read more

Well with it being date night my beautiful wife and I decided to go to the outback wife just got loaded fries I got the out back special and our server was great and punctual our only issue was with our salad I won't go into detail but the server informed the manager who promptly came to our table offerd to replace the item to wich I declined he then said ( we apologize about this issue what ca. We do to make it right ) I said it's not a big deal seriously he then said please allow me to comp your appetizers we sai thank you but no he did but the level of service was un expected I believe his name was Brandon if I'm wrong I apologize I'm bad with names but thank you kind sir we will be ( outback ) again read more

Food was good however our order was not cooked to order. Had to wait forever for the reorder to be brought out. Ordered dessert to go and that took another 30 minutes to come out. Restaurant was out of napkins so they gave us brown paper towels from the restrooms. This restaurant needs more hands on management. read more

Took an hour to get after ordering. they didn't bring my salad out only my husband's. Dressing was not on the side as I requested. chicken was good when they got it corrected. steak was over cooked and had no flavor. Bread was good. Tea machine broken so had to drink water. Our waitress said it had been like this all day- kitchen crew not doing their job. She said she'd get the manager but it'd probably be 20 minutes. WE WILL NOT GO BACK. Need a whole new kitchen crew. 11/30/25 5:30 OUTBACK YOU NEED TO STEP UP YOUR GAME I also want to add- they were not busy at all- at least 12 empty tables.VERY DISAPPOINTED. K.LOVELACE read more

My 13oz. Steak was a perfectly cooked medium yet tastes like salt. My wife's steak was tougher than expected and her green beans tastes like dirt. Clearly I got what I got but it pisses me off I have a $10 tip for salt. More than extremely disappointed. read more

Swung in for a quick bite and the place was decently busy. Was told 40 minute wait for table or we could sit at the vacant bar. We took our seats at the bar and had amazingly awesome service. Husband and I each ordered a salad and neither received the toppings included in the description. My Aussie Cobb included iceberg lettuce, chunks of yolk, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, chicken and dressing. Missing croutons, bacon, mixed greens. My husbands strawberry salad was romaine, strawberries and chicken. No arugula, goat cheese, candy pecans. Honestly we each got a house salad for 16.99 and 18.99 respectively. Super disappointed in this visit. Girls gave 5 out 5 on their mac-a-roo and grilled cheese meals. We tried it. read more

They must be getting low quality meat because both of our steaks were very chewy. When we got our water refills there was a fly in one of our drinks but manager was very apologetic and made that right. read more

This is the worst OUTBACK we have ever eaten in. We both had the 3-course meal. I ordered the burger with nothing but cheese , mayo and mustard. When it came out it had everything except mayo and mustard. The third course was supposed to be cheesecake but out waitress said "I'm sorry we're out of Cheesecake ". They asked if we would like the brownie w/ice cream instead. We said that would be fine. When it was finally brought out the ice cream was totally melted. I ate part of the soggy brownie but my husband ate none of his. When we were ready to pay I noticed that they had charged for both desserts which were supposed to be included in the price of the meal. She said she would get the manager to remove the charges. She had to ask twice to get that done. There were too many problems to explain here and we were not the only people having problems. We won't be going here again. read more

(3/25/23) I'm meeting my brother in law in Gaffney at Outback Steakhouse. I haven't been to Outback in ages, but there are a few things about it that never change. First off it's a friendly place to eat. Next are the rolls. I love the rolls. I could've eaten them and nothing else. They're also good value for the money. My brother in law and I ate everything that are wives have forbidden us from eating and we enjoyed ourselves. We both had burgers with fries and sweet tea, along with the rolls. It was a good afternoon. read more

we got there and our waiter threw our menus on the table and walked away, and our food was very very late; people who got there after us got our food before us. I got my side ("seasoned vegetable" and it was actually just soggy broccoli with some salt and pepper) at the end of the meal (20 minutes after we got our food). our waiter would come and ask us if we needed anything pretty regularly but she wouldn't bring what we needed back to us. I wouldn't recommend coming here!! read more

0 rating it was so cold on this restaurant after getting home my chest hurts from shivering. So cold in 5 minutes steamveggies were hard. Children was yelling it's cold. People were getting to go boxes. I did see 2 people who actually had their jackets off. I kept my hands in my hoodie to try for some heat. 80 dollars for 2 people you can afford some heat. Only go if its warm. Should be closed Enployees should not become icycles read more

Great food and service! Highly recommend. Please make sure to use the online app to check in. read more

Just ordered a burger and salad. Showed up for curbside before notification and the burger is cold! Damn a steakhouse that can't serve a warm burger. Not ever doing outback again this is the second location that sucks. Next time 5 guys or cookout. A little QC by the owner might help here but doubtful this shows they just don't give a sh.. Oh and the fries were cold too! read more

Okay this one is hard cuz during The Helene hurricane, by chance they were opened and had limited menu and seating. And for that I am grateful people had a place to get some food. And there hearts where in the right place but with that comes how horrible the food was, I mean I couldn't eat mine. My husband's steak was mushy. Just couldn't believe how bad it was. read more

Deserves no stars. Stopped in for dinner, waited for about 8 minutes. No hostess. Bar had 3 people but no empty spots because they all had dirty dishes stacked around! Great exit but won't waste my time at this location. read more

Possibly the worst service I have ever had. We scheduled online for a table and was seated immediately when we arrived. 45 minutes after sitting down at the table we get our drinks and salads. One salad didn't have dressing with it when we received it. After we finished the salads the empty bowls sat on the edge of the table along with our empty drinks for about 30 minutes. Finally about an hour and a half after being seated we get our food. One steak and one chicken breast. The chicken breast was about the size of a McDonald's chicken nugget. I ask for a manager at this point and he then paid for our meal. The food was great even though the service was terrible. Huge thank you to the manager who helped last night. We weren't the only table who was disappointed with the service. They had tables leave and I believe the table behind us also had their meal paid for because of the service. Great food! Great manager! Terrible service! read more

Surprisingly mediocre today. I don't think anyone in our party was happy with their to-go order. Wilted greens in the salads. Cold baked potatoes. Ribs that looked and ate like they were cut with a sledgehammer, dry chicken breast, tough steak, and even the bacon and cheese toppings for the baked potatoes contained mysterious bits of chewy ... something. I remember when this place was a destination for folks in Gaffney. You took dates there. You celebrated there. It was special. Not anymore. Sad. read more

Outback Steakhouse - My brother dug his grilled chicken out of this bed of dark and wilted lettuce. - Steakhouses Near Me - Gaffney, South Carolina

Traveling through Spartanburg, SC.. ... we stayed at a Campground in Gaffney, SC. We decided to go out for dinner... Outback Steakhouse was across the Highway !! Yeaaaaa !! One of our favorite Steakhouses and they didn't let us down. It's 4:30 on a Saturday..., they were quite busy for a small town. We stepped inside and was greeted by a friendly Hostess. A couple of people were waiting to be seated at tables, we passed them and said we're going to sit at the bar. We were greeted immediately by Victoria, with a warm smile. She got our drinks (nice pour on the vodka/tonic, by the way ) and we munched on their warm, sweet, honey wheat bread. as we viewed the menu. We overheard the kitchen was short staffed, wait time was longer than usual and some meals weren't cooked as ordered. We were concerned. But then, Tiffany stopped by with another warm smile and took our order. My husband ordered the 15 oz Ribeye, (very rare.... Actually, he likes it to "moo" ) with a loaded baked potato and Caesar salad. His steak came perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. I ordered the 8oz Center cut Sirloin, med-rare, with a side baked potato and Caesar salad. My steak was also seasoned very well, very tender and cooked to perfect temp. We were hungry and I forgot to take pictures. . And, our meals were served within a very reasonable time. We had no complaints. Would highly suggest stopping in Gaffney for a meal. Parking is plentiful and the staff is friendly. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever experienced. Filthy floors, bathroom disgusting, waited 45 minutes for my food, brown inedible lettuce in my side salad, had to refill my own glass of water because the service was terrible. Don't waste your time going here. read more

staff is very non observant and slow. do not come here unless you have nothing going on and you wanna sit around for a couple hours read more

We were in the area for work and decided to have Linner (Lunch + Dinner). There was really no one at 4:30pm. So, getting seated was quick. We had the fried chicken and wings. Both were good. We had a few beers as the beer selection was decent. Service was decent. The only issue was not getting the two waters we asked for. There's not a lot in the area so this may be one of few choices if are hungry. read more

Preston was so nice and helpful. his service was great and he was very attentive. definitely employee of the century!!!

Eh i dont really like but i LOVE STEAK SO MUCHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! great service and great ambiance

I was starving when I came here and you know when you're starving everything tastes better. We got a blooming onion that hit the spot. The ribeye was good. The baked potato could have used more "loaded" but was alright. Our server was super helpful and attentive read more

Recently went shopping at the mall and decided to eat at Outback as it's been a while since I've had a blooming onion. Yum! I was thoroughly impressed by the service; the food and drinks were "chef's kiss", and the staff were quick to get anything I needed and so friendly. One of the managers, Kelley, even came by to check on me and make sure everything was to my liking. I'm so glad she did so I could compliment her staff and also got a great conversation and laugh out of talking to her. How lucky to have a manager like Kelley! I cannot say enough about how amazing my experience eating here was. I felt so taken care of that any of my stresses from the day just went away. I came for the blooming onion but will be coming back for so much more.. the people, the food, the vibe! If you're looking for recommendations: The Blueberry Lavender Lemonade is the right amount of refreshing, sweet, and a little boozy. The Bloomin' Onion is a must!! The Ribeye (medium rare for me) was so tender and full of flavor; best steak I've had in a while! Plus the Baked Potato is a solid 10/10 and get the Brussel Sprouts as your other side, you'll thank me later! read more

The food was absolutely trash. The appetizer was neatly prepared but was full of salt. My steak was super tough and not good at all! The service was top tier but lacked discipline. The management was definitely hiding in the kitchen or the office. The ambiance was cordial but lacked cleanliness, especially with the floors being so sticky. read more

We have gone here about 4 times in the past two months and every time we do it's the same. Very poor service and something is always wrong with the food. I do not recommend! We will make the drive to the one in Gastonia instead. There was only a few people in the place when we got there and took 15-20 min to get our drinks (waters). Bread was "cooking" and after she brought it out (after our meal got served) she says they don't have butter. We noticed as we where leaving that two other tables had it on their tables and they were served after us. So we didn't have butter for bread or baked potato. read more

Ordered steak rare, came out well done. Ordered broccoli with garlic butter, they forgot. Drink service slow.

The wait time for my party from the time our order was taken until we received our food was one and a half hours. Of course the manager was apologetic and gave us a discount but this was a birthday event,we would have preferred timely service at normal prices. read more

Daughter is a student nearby and chose this after a competition. We put our names on the wait list and because their lobby is closed for waiting and it was cold outside, we waited in our car. They took our cell number and told us they would text us. We did not receive a text after waiting 25 min (was told 20) so wife went in to check. The hostess said she tried to text us but she had the wrong number written down. The short young hostess that was totally not into working that day because her personality was almost labored. She was not very welcoming and it was an omen for the way the rest of the experience there was going to be. Sat us down and we waited for another 20 min without anyone checking on us or even bring water or bread. Once again wife had to flag someone down. They said there was a mix up with the way they seated and certain staff not knowing they received a table in another section. The lady my wife flagged down finally took our drink order and Bloomington onion order. She said that she was sure that they would comp the onion and that a manager would be by to apologize. We finally met our waiter who brought our drinks and came to explain the mixup. We never received bread the entire night and after getting our salads we asked about the blooming onion and was told that they did not have any onions left. How in the world do you run out of your signature appetizer on a Friday night? They never even offered to get us anything else, they just said they forgot to let us know that they were out of bloomin onions. They also never offered or brought us any bread. The least you could do after having us wait for 20 minutes at the table was bring us some bread. I wish I had looked at the other reviews before going here because it doesn't seem to be a one time accident. You would think that with less tables available to work due to COVID, that they would have their stuff straight but they almost seemed like I should be the one grateful to be seated there. Unfortunately, they got my money yesterday but I would recommend you just avoid it and try something else. read more

Got curbside Takeaway... Once we got home we were very disappointed. Hamburger steak look like a small hamburger. One of the cheeseburgers had no cheese no tomato and instead of pickles. It had cucumbers! Should have known it was going to be bad since I had to call twice and was sent back to the managers office before my order was taken read more

I'm not giving this a rating !!! i was literally sick after eating that burger!! Bloomin Burger ! read more

Service was the worst! Food Bad! And atmosphere terrible. They sat us then 5 min later told us we had to move to the other side of restaurant because the waitress was too busy. The new waitress was horrible. We sat for 10 min before she even came buy. Did not bring is bread. Had to Ask twice for bread and that took her about 15 min to get. She Never came round ask how our Dinners were. Two of our steaks were way over cooked and tough. All the steaks were spicy, like spicy Hot. She never came to take our salad bowls once we were done, she just left them our table as we ate. She never took any dishes off the table the entire time and saw other tables the same way. Saw the waitress on her cell phone at least twice. She never came by our table we had to flag her down to order a to go item (soup). When we brought it home it tasted bad. We had to wait about 1/2 hour for the soup and another 10 min for the check. There was another waitress yelling at an elderly couple that were eating there. The waitress really made a seen. They but chairs up on the table while we were eating and it was not even close to closing time. This was the worst outback we ever ate at. The whole experience was terrible and is obviously mis-managed. read more

Great food along with service. Kelly the manager was awesome at checking on us.

"we weren't expecting this" -the manager Oh i'm sorry, I thought you were a restaurant? Not to mention in a popular place at the gaffney outlets? do you not serve a lot of people regularly? we arrived about 5:45 & were told about a 40 minute wait. & after about an 1 HOUR and 45 MINUTES and PLENTY of empty tables, we overheard that the kitchen was backed up. The hostess team packed in all the parties they could telling customers it'd be about 1 hour and 45 min. After we asked about our place in line for the third time, we were told it'd be about another 20 minutes before they could seat us. so- we left. Annoyed. Hungry. & Disappointed. read more

Understaffed and dirty. Manager spent all of his time leaning on a half wall and not pitching in. Most spots at bar had dirty dishes. Many tables were also unclean the entire time I was there. Service was very slow. Some people came and left because no one helped. Very sad state of affairs. read more
