Hadn't been to outback in a while after a bad experience and decided to go back! Had Kania as my server and absolutely loved her! Glad to say I will be back!! read more

We visited last evening for dinner. In our experience, this location was in decline. Not last evening! We were greeted warmly by all the staff. Our server, Sam was above superb. My wife had prime rib, while I had a 6 Oz. Victoria's filet mignon. Paired with great sides, both dinners were most enjoyable. Both cuts of beef were cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. Was this an aberration? We will report back as we plan to dine there again soon. Worthy of five stars! read more

I ordered a medium rare burger w/ lettuce and American cheese. What I got was no lettuce on the sandwich and in the carry out tray. The bun was a regular bun (not Kaiser roll/ brioche bun) a very disappointing Outback!!! The fries were so salty I had to put them in a paper towel and rub off the salt!!! The burger was too salty to eat!! I am now making something to eat - save your $$$. I should have known the place was questionable . I went in and saw less than 5 people in the restaurant- a sign I ignored - my BIG mistake. Just awfully bad all around read more

I ordered from Outback Steakhouse in Laurel, MD and unfortunately, it really missed the mark. The Blooming Burger was the most disappointing--it was supposed to be medium well but came out undercooked and completely red inside. The salad was soggy, and the coconut shrimp was chewy, which made it hard to enjoy. The only thing that stood out in a good way was the sweet potato. I will say, the staff member who brought the order out to my car was very kind and compassionate, which I appreciated. That made me hopeful the experience would be great, but sadly, the food did not match the service. I've never been this disappointed with Outback before. read more

My family came in at 5:45 on a Wednesday evening. It was very quiet at first. Waiter took our drink order first and because he ordered Aussie blonde but they were out so he ordered water. BTW They are always out when we come in. They brought bread out next takes our order. We got a blumin onion . It was very over cooked and tasted burnt. It was like that the last time we came. We waited and waited and waited. Waiter never checked to see if we wanted more bread or water so my daughter asked for some when our food came. Except the rest of the table needed drinks too. Our steak was tender but it was too spicy and salty. Potato soup tasted alright but it was clear not creamy. We left at 7:45 and you would think the 3 people chatting in the front could instead help the waiters struggling to keep up. It will be a long while before we go there again. read more

I ordered a Ribeye steak (bone in), and a loaded baked potato and a wedge salad. My server, Cecelia, told me the wedge salad was one of the 2 sides I could order with my Ribeye. I looked at the Ziosk thingiee that shows a table the order total. I was surprised that the Pay Now button showed 2 charges of $2.99 for the wedge salad, and an additional $2.99 for playing a game on the Ziosk, which I didn't play. I complained and the server removed the game fee and one of the wedge salad fees. I complained again that the wedge salad, according to the server was 1 of the 2 sides that came with the Ribeye. She took the extra charge off, as she admitted she didn't tell me there was an uncharge for the wedge salad. I ate my meal( the potato was way over-salted) and the steak was OK. I tipped 20% The manager, Fabian, who stood next to my table over and over again, never was curious about my experience, even though my server talked to him about discounting the additional fee for the wedge salad. read more

I had the best experience today. The service was wonderful. Server was awesome, food was hot and fresh. I stopped in for lunch with my son. I had a huge blooming onion as well as wings. Then ordered a blooming chicken sandwich with fries to go. I really enjoyed my lunch and the place was quiet. I plan on returning sooner than later. read more

Date of service: Jan 11, 2025 Ambiance: soft lighting. Always have enjoyed the ambiance in Outback. Food: It was delicious!! This was my first time ordering the salmon served this way and it was pretty good. Never thought this style sauce on salmon would be tasty. The shrimp are baby shrimp so don't expect medium size or small. It was more like the salad shrimp size. The wings were so good and my wedge salad was so crisp and crunchy. It's large enough for two ppl to share. There's a balsamic drizzle that compliments the blue cheese dressing, that's out of this world. Bonus: they have $7 everyday all day drinks now. It's about 6 maybe 7 or 8 to choose from. Smart move outback read more

I came here after work one day and I was not disappointed. I sat at the bar and my waiter was very attentive. I ordered the Sydney 'shrooms for my appetizer and they were perfectly seasoned. For my entree, I got the ribeye, medium, with loaded mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was cooked to perfection. My only gripe would be the asparagus for some reason or another they were mushy and I was not a fan. The mashed potatoes were good. My drink was good with a nice amount of alcohol in it. The manager was nice he came up to me to make sure I was satisfied with the food and services and gave me a $10 gift card for my next meal. I would most definitely come back to this Outback location. read more

Back again and somehow I forgot about my previous experience because 15 min at the table and I'm just getting a water! I already know how this is about to go but I'm here so i'lol stick it out. There aren't that many people here and I can see my waiter waiting around and visiting his other tables. One person [not the waiter] came with the water with ice which I asked not to be included. She took it back only to send someone else with the water no ice. A few moments later out comes my actual water after I had to ask who is waiting my table. 9/10 this will be my last visit. I had a question about my order but it took so long I'm just hoping for the best at this point. read more

I'm only giving 1 star so I can give a review of the WORST customer service restaurant to dine!! The parking is limited but service is ridiculous! We were seated and waited more than 20 mins and no service. Party who came after us received instant service. Waiter for our table was MIA! We left! Was not gonna be treated like we were invisible. I wouldn't dine here again. read more

the staff were amazing! the food was outstanding! and wasn't busy at all! i def recommend coming here!

I felt compelled to leave a review because I am a Yelp girlie and usually a place with such a poor overall Yelp score wouldn't get my money, but we had a gift card and this was the closest to the house. It appears most of the prior reviews complained about the service and our experience this evening was excellent. Our server was Sam, and he was very attentive and nice and even asked if we would come back again. Additionally, at least three other times during our dinner did a manager or another server stop by to ask if everything was going alright. My steak was cooked perfectly and my husband enjoyed his wings. Of note, Sam also made sure to mention that the wings changed from 10 to 8 lol. We don't come here enough to notice but I appreciated the transparency. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and time and would come back again. They are doing a great job to improve the overall experience/service so it's definitely worth giving them another try. read more

I was iffy coming here as my experience by the PG mall location was ok. I loved it here. RJ welcomed us and made sure he got all our drink and food orders. Missing one star since the drinks didn't have the garnish as shown in the pictures and the person running food and drinks kept taking our stuff to other tables or bringing us someone else's order. All the food I got was delicious. I'm very satisfied with having come here. Thanks for making a better experience! We'll definitely come back! read more

Decided to go out on a Sunday evening walked was greeted well decided to sit at bar since it wasn't to busy in the restaurant. After sitting at bar for 15 mins watching the bartender do absolutely nothing but move things around and talk to a coworker he finally says hey give me a min like it hasn't already been 15mins. So I wait another 15mins no menu no water no drink nothing. The bartender goes on helping the 3 other ppl at bar and talking to his coworker. Finally he says sorry for the wait I'll be over in a second after a wasted 40 mins we just left. Very poor service if your bartender can't handle 3 ppl he should not be behind a bar! read more

This was not a great dining experience. The environment was fine and our waiter was kind, but he got our order wrong multiple times. Sometimes it was just ice when I asked for a drink without, sometimes it was entirely the wrong side dish. None of our steaks were cooked properly. We all ordered medium rare, and the steaks were incredibly raw. The Piña Koala drink was cute but not a good cocktail. Also, my friend told me thar 2/3 of the toilets in the women's restroom were broken. Any of these things on their own would be like a 4-star review, but all of them together mean we probably won't be coming back. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes! Mikalah and crew are attentive, professional, and personable. The food and drinks came out so quickly and our table was cleared from any finished items right away. The food was very delicious! I wanted a quality steak and ordered the bone-in ribeye which was tender enough to only be lightly chewed! The presentation was so perfect along side fully loaded potato with a salted jacket baked like a giant fluffy potato skin! We ate our potato from the outside to the inside! Yumm! The Caesar salad was fresh and crispy with creamy dressing. Hubby had the decadent prime rib and loaded potato. Cheat day lines up nicely with date night! We had the salted caramel cookie and the carrot cake to send us over the edge into a food coma! We still have to sit through a movie... I am 51 now and I could settle for cuddling on the couch.... But we already got the tickets! Lol ! read more

Not great this time. We were given dirty plates for the bread, and we remembered that happened last time as well. The steaks were not cooked as we ordered. Honestly, not even close. We had to send two back and by the time we got them back, I had already finished my entire dinner. The service was OK. The table was clean on the top, but there was junk under the table including a chicken wing. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Cecelia our waitress was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable and kind, our drinks and food was delicious. The restaurant was clean.

if I could put negative stars, I would. The so called owner, tony and his staff are very unprofessional. VERY! I love outback, Alice springs chicken Aussie fries and blooming onions! today I had a very very bad experience but as a door dash driver. this is the Laurel md location off of Baltimore ave. I do not recommend. I go to the pick up/takeout door and knock because I see no one back there. the manager or whoever this woman is, she never gave me her name when asked nor did tony when I asked. she comes to the door getting smart with me. you're banging on the door. I said I didn't see anyone so I knocked. i proceeded to tell her I do not work at her employer and I don't know how it goes. she then begin to curse me out. I asked her why she's being unprofessional and all I said was, if you have a job, do it. the owner tony was no help, they all seem to be friends or something because they started to gang up on me. it was tiny and like two other females who's names I didn't get. very unprofessional. definitely need new management etc. I shouldn't be getting cursed out for picking up a door dash order. I didn't raise my voice or curse, it's that's simple. something needs to be done because I will continue to complain until it's solved. read more

Maybe we just lucked out with our awesome server and food choices, but I have nothing negative to say about my dinner experience at Outback this week! A friend and I snagged a nice booth table with no wait on Thursday around 7pm. Our server, Autumn, was very friendly and efficient, providing some of the best service I've ever received. I ordered the bloomin fried chicken with a sweet potato and broccoli. My friend ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta dish (forgot the exact name). The serving was very large so I was able to take some home for dinner the next day. A+ service and food this go 'round! read more

They do it right here. Service is attentive, polite, friendly, and the timing of when food comes out is well paced. We had an issue with our order that the server and management resolved well to our satisfaction. It was a great place to stop by after a long week. read more

I'm not a frequent customer of Outback, but a gift card encouraged us to make a reservation (it's super great they take reservations). The location has a very frustrating parking situation; a lot of big name restaurants in the area led to pure parking chaos. It took a few circles around the block to find a spot. Once we were in, we were so happy to have a reservation and not have to wait longer to eat :) We started with a Blooming Onion; it wasn't completely cooked through, there was blooming powder flaking off, but it edible, we didn't have to send anything back. I got the Boomerang Beer flight; it was nice they let me switched out one of the beers I knew I wouldn't drink; & the margarita's hubby and family got were strong. I ordered the tilapia covered with crab meat and mushrooms; hubby the ribs and chicken. The tilapia had an amazing flavor profile. It was a great cut of fish, seasoned well, not a lot of mushrooms :( but a fair amount of crab meat. I didn't like their smaller side proportions (and soggy over salted fries), but the salad was yummy. The ribs had a lot of sauce on them, which was delightful. The chicken was seasoned well, and very juicy. Overall Outback isn't my go-to place, but they provided a really great meal that didn't break the bank! Our waitress was super friendly, and the manager made the typical rounds-very polite. read more

I worked a little bit late today. It's Friday night I'm cutting, which means I'm trying to lose weight, so I was looking for a decent steak. So, I go to a steak house, right? It was just me, so I went to the bar and ordered a light beer. I asked the bartender What light beers do you have? He told me that they have Miller Light and Bud Light. And I said great, Could you give me a Miller Light? He says I am so sorry we are out of Miller Light. Well, I guess I'm trying the Bud Light, then no problem. I had my Bud Light; it was refreshing. I think I'm a Bud Light fan, but not by choice. I then ordered the 18-ounce ribeye. I haven't eaten all day. I went to a broker's open for one of my agents in the office and got a little chicken salad and some grapes around 2 PM, but before that, I hadn't eaten for 16 hours; like I said I'm cutting using intermittent fasting. So, I got my 18-ounce ribeye. It was underwhelming to look at. It had very little sear. The baked potato and my seasonal veggies look OK, but I was there for the steaks. I'm at a steakhouse. And as I'm cutting into the steak, I realize that inside, there's white and more white and more white. I've never seen so much fat on a steak. I mean, I was cutting into fat for quite some time. I got so frustrated I sliced down the middle to see where the steak started. Now I know why it's so many calories and fat. I spent so much time hacking away at this thing with the dull knives and a tough steak that I just gave up and asked for a box. The service was not very good. It's tough to blame the bartender. I felt he was OK. He seemed to need help with the big bar, so it's tough for me to blame him, but Jesus Christ. It's like he couldn't listen. He couldn't hear what I was saying. I asked for the check, I asked for a box, I asked for a glass of water. I got two out of three. At least they had the Giants on the television. They had a good atmosphere. read more

Poor service. Not friendly, short, almost rude. I had to ask for silverware once the food arrived. Then I asked for dressing that never came. Food (seared ahi tuna) was old and salad was dry, clearly not fresh. Bad, bad,bad. read more

I haven't been to Outback in years, but when our movie let out and with the lack of restaurants in the area that interested us, we opted to stop here. It seemed to be a bit crowded and since it was a pretty long wait, we decided to sit in the bar area. It took a while for a server to stop by our table, so we made sure to give our drink and meal order all at once. When our food arrived, my dining companion was missing his fries. It took a good 15 - 20 min and me flagging down our server for him finally to receive them. No real apologies about this mishap. I mean, what can I say about Outback...it's just Outback. It was EXTREMELY LOUD from a large party in the room next door to the bar, the food I had was average, and the service could've been better, but it was one of the better choices in the area. We left satisfied, but I wouldn't rush to come back. read more

Despite the long wait for drinks and the ac not working at first our server Danny made our dinner experience great.

We went on a Wednesday around 4:00 pm. Brook was our server. He was phenomenal. Very attentive and friendly. We had wings and salads to start. Steak was cooked to perfection. Only down was our baked potatoes were very over cooked. Other than that, everything was excellent and I would definitely return. read more

We came to outback for a birthday dinner. The waiter was good and attentive. My issue was the food. I ordered a 12 ounce sirloin steak with 2 sides. When I was asked how I wanted it I said Medium rare. (I still like it soft) the plate comes out and it looks great. But once I cut into it I could tell it was over cooked. It was more so medium done area. Against my better judgment I ate the steak. It was so tough It was hard to eat because it was so chewy. The sides were good. Those alone is carrying the weight of this 2 star review. I was super disappointment with the cooking of the steak. Which was bad because the butter and the seasoning was great. Hopefully they get it right for the next person. read more

For a chain restaurant of a steakhouse, the steak fell short itself. It's mediocre food--not terrible not great. I had some coupons to really make it worth my while. We ordered the big sirloin which was 18oz and also a steak quesadilla. The sirloin is pan fried/seared and all the seasonings on top were burnt. The flavor profile of the steak was not good at all but the steak was cooked to the correct temperature. I guess at steakhouses I'm used to grill cooking and grilled marks and not burned seasonings on top. My quesadilla was very dry and it only had steak and cheese inside. No other flavors like peppers and onions to give it more flavor. Salad was ok. Service is mixed. My server happened to be awesome but observing the other server in my area all the customers were upset. They seemed to be understaffed and kept seating people back to back. read more

Been here many times before; today we again met with a friend for lunch. I have been trying to lose a little bit of weight so I ordered the small (6 ounce) Victoria's filet. One person ordered the Bone-In Outback Ribeye, and we both ordered the Caesar salad as a side. The filet was the most tender piece of beef I have ever eaten in my seventy some years! It was remarkably better than average for Outback. The person eating the Ribeye and baked potato also thought the quality was better than average today (I took a taste and I agree that it was really flavorful). Our one complaint would be the Caesar salads. Not only were they forgotten and delivered after the steaks arrived, but the salads were really excessively over-dressed. I like the flavor of Caesar dressing, but the salads were drenched to the point of dripping salad dressing. A salad plus was the generous topping of thin ribbons of parmesan cheese. I was going to include a photo of the dripping salad, but white dressing on a white plate just did not show up. There were numerous spaces available in the parking lot near the restaurant this time, perhaps everyone is staying at home because of Corona virus? read more

My experience there was great. We had a party of 8 and our server Kania was very helpful answering all our questions about the menu. She recommended the 3 course meal with cheesecake and it was great! She also gave a $10 off coupon as we left, she was very sweet. We will definitely come again for her. read more

I can't believe this place is still in business! But being a chain restaurant I guess new people will keep patronizing. With consumer amnesia I took my manfriend out for September "Take a man out on a date" for a manly steak. Outback naturally seemed like an economical yet beefy place. We came in around 9 pm on Saturday night. It was a medium sized crowd with plenty of empty booths yet there were two parties ahead of us. The flustered hostess informed us there would be a wait. I looked around at the half empty restaurant. Ok . I thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We opted to eat at the bar where the bartender had about ten patrons and it plenty empty stools She also looked flustered. *interesting* I ordered a peach bellini and my partner ordered a margarita. I fully admit that I didnt properly read the description to realize it was actually a frozen drink and not a true bellini. My partner's margarita was sour, overly tangy and sweet. We ordered 2 ribeye steaks Medium with broccoli and cheese for both and asparagus for him and a salad for me. We asked to have our drinks remade. I opted for a Mojito (NO SIMPLE SYRUP). She had THEE biggest attitude in the world. It was a covert tude, Just boiling under the surface. You woulda thought we had asked for her first born. She gingerly took her time serving other patrons not making eye contact. You can tell she was pissed. She came back with our drinks after ten minutes. Of course drinks were made wrong. She watered down my partners drink and she added simple syrup to mine. She slammed the plate of bread down before we could tell her about the mistake. At this point my partner is ready to walk out. We dont deserve this abuse. I understand you may be having a bad day but honestly, Ive been a server before and I would NEVER let the customer know I am mad or having a bad night, thats your bread and butter girl. Finally she comes over and acknowledges us. We get our drinks remade and her 'tude continues for the rest of the night. Our meal comes out--two bone in ribeye steak BURNT AS HELL. We cut into it to confirm that its well done. (See Pic) At this point my partner is like cmon lets go...But first we have to get her attention. Ten minutes later she comes over and I explain we'll just pay for our apps and drinks. The bill comes out with only the drinks. to make a point I tip her 50% This outback sucks read more

The worst experience I've ever had at an Outback restaurant. My first time at this Outback location. Came here this past Saturday night with a group of 7 (including kids)--we had called the day before to make reservations for 7:30pm. We checked in with the hostess and were given a buzzer--40 minutes later we were still not called--all the walk-ins that came after us all got seated! RIDICULOUS. What is the point of having reservations if you have to wait even longer than a party with no reservations. My friend had to go talk to one of the hostess before she attempted to find a table for us--and there was one available! We got seated and were given menus. 11 minutes later no one had came to greet us--the annoying thing was that all the other tables around us were getting serviced. My friend got up from our table and went to find a manager standing nearby (he was doing something on the computer screen)--the manager didn't even seem apologetic but said he would send someone over. A female server finally came over to take our orders--she was friendly, so that made us feel a bit better. The food was fine--probably what saves this review from getting a 1-star. Bread, salad and appetizers were brought out for us with no silverware. I had to get up from the table to find our server--then it took another 10 mins for silverware to be brought to us. Overall, it was just not a great dining experience. read more

Craving their Kookaburra wings, I decided to splurge on the lobster tails. The lobster tails unfortunately we're overcooked and a little rubbery. The loaded mashed potatoes were at best mediocre. I feel they should have incorporated more butter in the cooking process. More cheese and green onions would have been appreciated. However, the wings were awesome! Good and fresh! With great seasoning with the right amount of bite back. The blue cheese dressing incorporated real chunks of blue cheese! read more
