Very disappointed overall. Ordered Filet Mignon, fries and Mac & cheese with a soda. The meat was not a filet mignon but something of less quality. The fries were undercooked and mushy. The Mac & cheese was some dried out spiral type of pasta and not macaroni. The soda was room temperature with no ice. I ate most of the meat, five fries and one fork of the so called Mac and cheese. I left the food in the middle of the table. The waitress came and took everything away. However she never asked if I wanted to box the food and take it home or ask if there was an issue. She just cleaned the table and left the check. So I paid the $45 (tip included) and left to go to a restaurant to have dinner. I know there is a supply issue for certain items; but two of my three items were substituted for a lesser quality item. I was never informed of any substitution. The third item was undercooked and not edible. Yet full price was charged. I should have looked at the reviews prior to going there. Rest assured I will not be back. read more

Just a quick observation. I have been to Outbacks all over and always when I go to the Hamilton Outback it seems like there is a table of employees eating, drinking and rolling napkins and silverware at a table in the bar area. This is just a terrible optic and somewhat unsanitary. I mentioned it to someone who looked like a manager but he really didn't seem to be responsive or concerned. Another manager in a baseball cap and shorts was teaching a new server the drink menu and making him samples of the drinks? The trainee appeared to be very young, possibly under the legal age to drink. Again, optics are everything. Good employees start with good management, training and being a good example. I just feel it is lacking here. read more

My family and I went to Outback Steakhouse in Hamilton NJ. The food was delicious. But more importantly are server/bartender Michael was awesome. He was very accommodating, kind, funny and polite. Always came to the table with a smile on his face. We would definitely come back. Thank you again. The restaurant was also very clean. read more

Outback has definitely lost its edge. This holds true to the restaurant in Hamilton Township, NJ. Although the chain still has a good menu with healthy choices, not sure that all of the staff is up on service and the little, but important. details such as clean rest rooms and follow up service are lacking. Every year during the holidays our family goes to Outback to get gift cards for our parents. The menu and food were good, but the service was odd. I think that it had to do with the fact that our waiter was a smoker. This normal would not bother us, except that it affected our service and comfort in the restaurant. We were seated and after a rather long wait, a waiter came over and introduced himself. He said that he would be serving us and took our drink orders. Afterwards, he came back gave us our drinks and explained the menu. We were comfortable with him. Some of us were not decided, so our waiter said he would bring us our bread while we were deciding on our sides. The next thing that happened was that another waiter came over, introduced himself, and said the other waiter was very busy so he was taking over the table. This happened within a minute of when the other waiter left. We found that very strange. My daughter said that he reeked of smoke and asked if we could get another waiter. He asked us what we had been given to drink. He then said that he would be back with our bread and to take our order, but disappeared for 10 minutes. Without the benefit of knowing exactly what happened, it seams that our original waiter saw us waiting at the table and decided that we needed help--in fact when he came over, he initially said sorry for the wait. That was most likely because our waiter was taking a smoking break or was late for work, and then wanted his table back. Service after that was good for about a half an hour even though my son also was taken back from the bad smell of smoking. It now seemed to affect both of my teenage kids--my Son is normally very tolerant of people--he never wants to get anyone in trouble. At the end of the half an hour period of good service, the Waiter told my daughter that he would be right back with a coke refill. It was at least 20 minutes later that I asked a waitress that was taking care of an adjacent table if she could get my daughter another coke. Another 10 minutes went by and the waitress in passing, asked if we ever got the refill. I said no and about 5 minutes later another wait person brought my daughters coke and put it in front of me, not my daughter. This seems like a small thing, but it shows a lack of training and coordination of the wait staff. It had now been about 50 minutes and I finally saw our waiter at another table taking orders. He looked very backed up and under stress because it appeared that the other table was complaining. He finally got to ours to clear our plates and we ordered the two gift cards and a mini-milkshake, coffee and water (with lemon) . Again, he was prompt like he had been before he disappeared for 50 minutes. But again reeked of smoke. When we were ready to leave, my Wife, Son and I went to the rest rooms. My Wife said the Women's Room was well kept; however, the men's room was a filthy mess. It definitely had been neglected. We were at the beginning of the evening rush, so there was no excuse for the poor conditions or bad service. If you check my other reviews, you will see that I give a lot of 4s and 5s when service is good and food is good. In this case the food and menu rates a 4.5 given the price, the 3 rating for the overall meal is on account of the awkward service and a waiter that was negligent probably because of his smoking habit, and the neglected Men's Room. Where I usually leave a 20% tip, in this case I left 15%. On the way home, my Son said that he seemed to have an after taste from the third hand smoke. Nothing is worse than someone with a deep smoke in their lungs breathing on you--it is just as bad as second hand smoke. read more

I had never had Outback before but knowing it's a chain, I didn't set my expectations very high. Service was excellent. Our waitress was Kim, she was very courteous and friendly. The food exceeded my expectations. I was in a group of 4. We all picked different cuts of beef and then tasted each other's. Everything was cooked very well. All dishes were very tasty. We went on a Sunday night. Although it was busy, we didn't wait long for a table, about 10 mins. Service was on point, we didn't have a long wait on food or drinks. Don't know if all the Outbacks are the same but will def try ones closer to me and share the experience. Would love to go back to this location but it's very far from my home. read more

Great place to go if you like a long wait for steak not cooked to your liking. Definitely not going back.

Our server was lovely. However, the order took forever to come out and and waited and waited for each course. My husband has the ribeye which was cooked to perfection. My filet mignon was supposed to be rare but it was overcooked. The lobster on the other hand was undercooked. The starter was delicious and over all it was an enjoyable experience read more

This was n intrestin speriance. Went here's with my sister, Mama B., and my nephews Jaxon, and then Mark. The mark. I ordered myself a blue steak, disappointed it wasn't caught that day tho, but that's fine. It was bludy just how I like it. Sad I couldn't get it raw tho, but that okay. The restraint was pretty grimey, jus like the Walmart that wuz up the steet, and it made me feel like o wuz in my trailer. But in Australia. Tho the waitress was really nice she wasn't Austrian tho. That was kinda a disappontment. But it's fine. The dog was there, in a stroller, not my dog someone else's, and then he whipped my nephew and it left some pretttty nasty bruises on hims. Ther wuz a birthday party with a ton of little kidlets runnin round and one almost dangum runned me over. The steak knives were liek play dow nifes and could barely get through my stake. Mark usually takes us to high class restraints bht tbis was a nice change. Love Austria. Very nice. Bht cuz I couldn't get my stake raw I have to say 4 star. read more

Theresa was the most amazing waitress, so kind and gave us what we needed, before we even asked. The food was 20/10. We love the outback, been to a good amount; love this one! Just make sure at any outback, you ask for your steak to be one level higher cooked, than you prefer! Fabulous time! Would recommend! read more

Bread, warm. Mashed potatoes, scrumptious. Steaks, delicious. Bloomin' onion...Perfect. How can you not like Outback Steakhouse? They have the bloomin' onion! Chili's got rid of the awesome blossom. Where else can you find this culinary masterpiece? No where that I know of... read more

Excellent service from Miesha. We love the Victoria fillet with grilled asparagus. The wedge salad is awesome Unfortunately the floor manager Chris stop at every table around us asking about service but didn't bother to ask us. Why?? Two gay men having dinner !!!! read more

My son's birthday so we let him pick the restaurant. I knew we were not in for fine dining but the quality was very low. Dirty napkins and silverware to start. The service was sporadic at best. It took about 20 minutes until the waitress came to us. The appetizer came out immediately a quesadilla which was a steak one with barely any steak. Then we waited about 40 minutes for our salad and soup. Then even before we could finish that our entrees came out. The far away and worst part was no one ever bothered to take one dirty plate off our table. The waitress and other servers just acted like they did not see them. It's sad that the food was not horrible but because of the lack of any kind of service mentality we will never go to an Outback again. read more

The attender who took the take out order had no energy to explain anything I asked about. Probably because I came in the last minute as the restaurant was about to close read more

Great steak. Mixed vegetables was zucchini slices and one lone carrot slice, The bread was forgettable as were the 'Aussie Fries.' The booth was uncomfortably cold and when I complained absolutely nothing changed. Outside of the steak this was an unpleasant experience, kind of like dining in an igloo. read more

Went there last night, paid for a burger and got a bun with no burger. Asked for a baked potato got French Fries with sour cream. When we called and asked for a refund since they failed to provide the food we paid for, we were told they mail out gift cards and do not refund. I can understand if it was a complaint on food preparation, but to pay for food and not get the food that you paid for I believe wrong. Will not go there again. read more

I would like to bring to your attention two disappointing visits I had at an Outback Steakhouse located at 740 US-130, Hamilton Township, NJ 08691.  The individual that made these visits memorable - and not in a good way - is the Proprietor/Manager Albert Frio. The first visit occurred approximately two months ago.  Myself and my partner decided to eat at the bar - where there was also a party of about eight or nine individuals also eating at the bar.  While we were waiting for our meal two young girls (six to eight years old) were running, playing and screeching around the bar area.  Over to the side a woman was standing and holding a baby - the booth next to her was full of personal belongings as it was being used as a storage area. When our food came I asked to speak to the manager - the bartender said he is right there.  To my surprise he was among the eight or nine individuals sitting at the bar.  When he came over to see what my concern was the conversation went as follows: Me:  Can you please do something about the children running around? Manager:  You know this is a family restaurant Me:  There is a difference between a family restaurant and a playground Manager:  If you want you can leave. Me:  If I leave - do I owe you anything? Manager: No Me:  We left and went to Longhorn The second visit and the one that is most concerning occurred Friday November 19, 2021.  Once again we were sitting at the bar when a man walked over to us and started a threatening and completely unnecessary conversation. Man: Hi do you remember me - I remember you.  Are we going to have a problem tonight? Me: Only if I observe children running and playing in a restaurant Man:  This is a family restaurant Me: Are you the manager? Man: I am the owner Me: What is your name? Man: Al Frio Me:  Well Al if I have any problems tonight I will ask for you. In conclusion - It is now obvious to me that during our first visit Al Frio was enjoying a meal among family and friends.  That is why his immediate reaction to my complaint was "You Know this is a Family Restaurant" . read more

In the spirit of reviewing chain restaurants I'm not sure why they're such negative reviews for this location. The food is relatively inexpensive for what you get. I would spend more buying raw steak at the supermarket. Both of my children have allergies and they can eat almost everything on the children's menu here. When I go to Outback I know I am not going to a gourmet steakhouse. With that in mind it always meets my expectations. read more

I haven't been to outback in a while but I know that the customer service is normally pretty bad but this time the food was better than ever and our server Mandy was the absolute best server I have ever had regardless of difference in location or restaurant so if the managers of this location are reading this than you should give her a hefty raise. read more

My wife and I were craving steak on the way back from Sesame Place heading back towards NYC. The service was quick and the food seemed to come out quicker after a long day at a theme park. Everything was perfectly cooked and our kids loved their meals. Alex was a perfect server. read more

I usually come to this location and have a good experience dining in, but tonight was not it.. I ordered dinner for me and my mom to go, a strip dinner & a pasta dinner. I was parked in the to-go waiting for 15 minutes, no one came out, luckily Kerry came out & saw me waiting. My food was just sitting there getting cold. The pasta I got was tasteless & the chicken was so hard to bite into. We didn't get any utensils. Also, My mom got the strip, and her potato was dry and didn't get any sour cream or butter or anything. The veggies also leaked thru the bag and got all over my car. I usually don't like to complain but this food was not it & not worth 50$ I paid for... If this continues to happen, I will not order again from this place read more

Server Alexis is amazing! She took care of us in a timely manner and made sure everything was A Okay! She was also helping out at the host stand while taking care of tables read more

I went to Outback with a few friends to get a bite to eat, we got the Aussie appetizer platter that had the perfect combination of bloomin' onions, cheese fries, and Mac and cheese bites. This was perfect for me and my friends. I ordered a Victoria's Filet Mignon which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had sweet potatoes, I would recommend therm if you like sweets. Overall great service and the manager was friendly. I would 100% come back again read more

Outback Steakhouse - Aussie appetizer - Steakhouses Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

See all

While waiting for apps, I noticed the window sill has cob webs! The floor felt kinda greasy under the booth! This is second time eating here and this impression seems worst then the first visit! If I see spider webs on the window sill what makes you think if they clean? I can only imagine how clean the kitchen is? Bread came out kinda of cold, no excuse for just opening the doors at 4pm, apps ordered Aussie cheese fries $6.79 they just threw cheese and bacon on top and left the bottom half with nothing, kinda of dissappointing for $6.79 read more

So the last few time's I've been there I have seen a rather quick, and noticeable, downward spiral. Like within the last month or two. And degrading fast!!! Fried items have been WELL overcooked (maybe its just old oil), wait staff which is usually excellent hasn't been as good (or we have just been stuck with people that dont know what they are doing), and the food portions seem to have gotten smaller yet again. Went here earlier today and was rather upset to see our waitress sitting at the table next to us talking for 15 minutes only to bring out food that clearly was sitting for a while. Kids didn't even enjoy their chicken fingers (surprising as theirs are usually very consistent) as they were very small and the oil must need to be changed or something and they don't do it. No refills on drinks brought out. Waitress didn't ask how our meal was. And the teenage hostesses were too busy talking about Justin Bieber or something rather than opening the door for us as they will usually do. I hope my $3 tip spoke for itself but "Jim the proprietor" needs to get his staff to kick it into a higher gear or when my gift cards are fully used after their next visit we'll be trying Longhorne the time after. read more

Outback Steakhouse - This is the entire salmon that was too dry and over cooked - Steakhouses Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

I think they do a distance job here for chain restaurant.. The service was good. Food is ok. Nothing more to say.

Went to the Outback Steakhouse, Hamilton (Mercer County) NJ on Monday, 11/14/2011. Arrived at 6:33pm with 5 other patrons. It was a rare occasion when my family got together, and we chose the Outback. After sitting in a nearly empty restaurant for 20 minutes without ever seeing anyone but the person who seated us, I saw another table of 4 being seated and the server was there within a minute. As we walked out the front door, the person at the hostess desk said "have a good night". I said that we sat in the restaurant for over 20 minutes without even being greeted, and they weren't busy at all. No offer to make it right, they just said "sorry" when we left. I wrote an e-mail to Outback corporate, no response. Not going back! read more

Like this place. If I wasn't sight impaired they have TV'S by the bar. It is always clean. Haven't ordered anything that was disappointing yet. Waitresses are very efficient some are beautiful too. There are no major flaws here. I would give them 5 stars but I said in another review a high scale Steakhouse made them seem like Denny's. read more

First off: It's an Outback. As long as it is prepared correctly, the food is going to be all the same every time. You know exactly what you're getting when you walk into one: good bread, a decent steak, a fried onion. Ya'know: Outback. That being said, if you want Outback, this isn't a bad place to come. They just remodeled. It's clean, it's pretty, it's nice. AVOID during peak hours. We got there a little before dinner--we wanted to do a happy hour thing. Apps and drinks. We weren't being cheap, however. We ordered about as much as another dining couple if they were drinking soft drinks. It started out fine, but BAM. Like clockwork, at six o'clock the entire state of New Jersey went out to dinner. Then the service got fast mean and messy. I order another beer, and the waitress took my half-full bottle before bringing another. I am surprised she didn't make me spit out what was in my mouth. She then started taking plates that we were still eating off of as she took them away. Avoid this place if you are looking for a place to go in the evening. Late afternoon was fine though. read more

I was a fan of Outback for as long as they have been around. And since they were one of the first restaurants to offer a gluten-free menu, it was always a great option for my fiance, who has Celiac and must eat gluten-free. This weekend we decided to try the carside-to-go service. I ordered the filet focaccia sandwich, substituting a Signature Salad for the fries. My fiance ordered the rib-eye with a baked potato and salad. She had remembered that the salads did not have croutons, so she assumed that the salad would be gluten-free. I arrived at the specified time and our order was ready. However, the salads had croutons, so I politely explained to the server that my fiance had to eat gluten free, and could they make a new salad. Moments later, she returned with a salad that appeared to not have croutons. When I got home, my fiance found a crouton in her salad. It was obvious that the server (or somebody) had simply picked the croutons out of the salad, instead of making a fresh salad. It's a shame, because the rest of the meal was good and the order was on-time. Unfortunately, we can no longer go to Outback because of the gluten cross-contamination risks. read more

Takeout service seems to be forgotten. Parking is limited with only 4 spots for this service. Had to park in lot and carry my own with curbside service. People using takeaway parking as waiting for sit down. They have to improve. They can only go up. read more

The glass of wine for $7 is quite small, salad was made with fresh vegs but nothing special, then came my $22 ribeye... rare as ordered but nothing special...if you want a steak it is fine to go there...son's ribs were great, wife' hamburger was fine read more

This is not an Outback location that people who have food allergies should patronize. My boyfriend disclosed his gluten allergy to our server as soon as we ordered. When we were eating our salads, he spotted a crouton fragment in his salad, and then I spotted a smaller fragment he didn't see. We showed them to the waiter, who talked to the kitchen staff about it. The kitchen then served my boyfriend a Nilla wafer on his dessert milkshake. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but I am sufficiently disappointed in the lack of care this kitchen showed on a very serious issue that in this case, I think I ought to. read more

Went with my family for a nice change of pace. We hadn't been to an outback since our 6yr old was a baby. This was by far the worst experience at an outback EVER. After a minimal wait, we were seated and immediately greeted by a very nice waitress. She took our drink/appetizer orders and got them out quick. Next she took our dinner order and the wait began. We waited and waited... And waited. Other patrons seated after us ate.. While we waited. And waited. The entree came out a cool 45 minutes later and my chicken (and pasta) was dry and crunchy. I couldn't believe they had the balls to let that out of the kitchen after 45 minutes. I spoke with the nice server who was already very sorry about the wait and she reordered the meal. She said she would ask her manager to speak to us. He did. About 20 minutes later.. When he saw me get up and put on my scarf. (I wasn't leaving without my food, my kid had to use the bathroom) He came over, apologized for the food and comped our appetizer. Kudos for stepping up! But epic fail in the areas of food/time management and quality control. We won't spend $50 here again. read more

The service at this location was extremely quick. They were very helpful and had great customer service. We ordered the house Mac and cheese for a child not knowing that it was spicy, we asked the waiter if they had a different kind for children and he brought it out to us within 3-4 mins. He was great. Would go back to outback if I'm in the area again. read more

Decided to give this place a second try after 3 years... Caesar salad - too salty. Not just a bit saltier -- it feels.. saltier than eating salt... wtf. yeah yeah, anchovy... but i haven't had a caesar this strong/bitter before... very good croutons pomegranate iced tea - at 2.25 with free refills, it's a decent deal.... and it TASTES AWESOME. Though still sweeter than i prefer, not as sweet as other franchises. garlic mashed potatoes - pretty good... prime rib - sort of dry and tasteless... felt overcooked, but that didn't bother me; the issue was rather with the lack of taste. signature sirloin & shrimp on the barbie... pretty decent for a sirloin, not as seasoned as the menu would have you believe. I enjoyed this piece... undercooked but not by much. the shrimp were also good but they were lukewarm, which subtract a LOT from shrimp. the shrimp portion was also very little, 3 shrimp on top of a disappointingly measly bit of tomato-basil mixture. The biggest plus to outback is that the meals felt quite fresh - there is a sense of naturality about them... however, I've always found them a bit tasteless compared to the 'other' chain steakhouse... read more

Both got the urge for a slab of cow on a Saturday afternoon. Flipped a coin for Longhorn (across the street) or Outback, and Outback won. Arriving at 5:30pm was not crowded,,, surprising compared to the Old Bridge and Edison locations that are closer to out home...always packed. Seated promptly, given great service by the wait person (Deanna D), with water and the good, hot brown bread on the table quickly. A Bloody Mary was a bit on the small side, but well-made. The "Big" Sam Adams Summer Ale was huge, and fairly priced. Skipped the apps... no need to reduce the capability for beef consumption. Caesar salads were good, cool, crisp, nice croutons, not over-dressed. Seemed like a long wait for the entrees though. The wife's filet was cooked perfectly.... RARE. She's a stickler on how it's cooked, and it easily passed the critical appraisal. My rib eye was correctly medium rare, good flavor. Not enough char on the outside, a little on the thin side. Also found the Crocodile Dundee-style steak knife could have been cleaner. Offsetting to find a crust of something among the water spots. All things considered, enjoyable. read more
