Always happy when I come in here. Great food at a great price and the staff is very sweet. Jim and Gregg are my favorites. If there are ever any issues or the kitchens running slow the manager always does a wonderful job making up for it! read more

So I ordered the filet mignon & lobster & I ordered my steak well done. The steak was not cooked at all!

This is my favorite steakhouse in the area. The bartender Kat is the best around. She's very attentive, personable, and makes great drinks. I would highly recommend. read more

honestly we have eaten here so many times and food has always been decent but today it SUCKED the food was so cold and the waiter spilled ketchup all down the steak service was slow food was bad so honestly just go somewhere else if you wanna pay your hard earned money for a half decent meal. read more

Went into the restaurant and asked for a table for 3 with my son. My husband was parking the car. My son and I are brown. The greeter asked me to wait since it's going to be a while. They were promptly ushering in many guests who were white. My husband is white. He came in and asked to be seated and it took 3 seconds for us to be seated. It's one thing to be discriminated when I am on my own. I felt so upset when that happened when my son was with me. Later the manager came with another staff to defend the staff who did that. Then proceeded to apologize. It's just hurtful when I am minimized in front of my child. Our skin is just brown- it's just excess melanin. That is not a reason to be minimized. I just hope they do not do this to anyone else. I was having a great time with my family after a movie on Christmas Eve. They really managed to crush it. read more

We've been here several times and usually like it but the last two times we went I got sick. I had the ribeye a month ago and ribs yesterday, both times I got very sick. I now call this place outhouse steakhouse and refuse to go back. read more

I always get the large fillet, medium rare, baked potato, and veggie. Steak done to perfection and the baked potatoes are awesome. My GF got the shrimp and chicken, baked potato which was great as well. Ok it's a chain but the food quality for the price is unequalled. Better than MTs or Surf gourmet restaurants in Nashua which are pricey and at MTs we were asked to leave for spending too much time at the bar. Both got drinks and apps but we weren't spending enough money. Last time for both of those. read more

Good grief! Order from another restaurant. Take out was cold, steaks were medium rare not well done as I specified. Small portions. Terrible. read more

Best steak I have had in years, legit. I tend to lean toward lower cost food for eating out (not because I love cheap food, just because I don't have much to spare). That said, this was SO worth the price... Awesome, awesome steak, cooked the way I ordered it. I even took left-overs, which I rarely due because of my germ fear, but this was so good. They were also good with food allergies - bonus! My wife has food allergies (gluten and corn, both severe) and was also able to get a good-tasting meal here. Too many times I get a nice meal and she ends up with some plain baked potato because a restaurant isn't attentive to people with food allergies and it's basically the only thing that can't be screwed up. She ate here and had no ill effects, which means they did not cross-contaminate in the kitchen, something that can happen if a place isn't careful. So this is a big plus for folks with food allergies - no ill effects from our meal here. Next time I'm around Lowell I'm looking forward to making this place for lunch again. read more

1.5 hour wait for a grill cheese is unacceptable ...add in the lack of apology other than masking the chef is busy...I will stay away...when asked for a manager card to follow up the women asked if I would Iike to speak to a manager...when I said my time has been exhausted and my family was waiting in the car...the attitude arose that it was my fault...needless to say .... Stay away from this spot... read more

I had a great experience the last time i had dinner here. I wasn't hungry so i ordered coconut shrimp ( the appetizer) and my boyfriend ordered the Heart of Gold Mahi. The Mahi dish was absolutely great! The fish was tender, the sauce made the dish and the mashed potatoes were hot and tasty since they were garlic seasoned. When my appetizer came out as my dinner, I was shocked at how much shrimp I got in my order. At first I was a little upset that maybe our waiter had put in two orders of shrimp to equal a dinner meal. But I later found out that he didn't make a mistake because the coconut shrimp is served as a big portion. I highly recommend this appetizer, the sweet ginger sauce was our favorite! Our waiter was great also. Very attentive and would conversate with us which made us very comfortable. Writing this review has made me hungry and want to go back!! :D read more

Worst experience. ever. I came in with a party of 7 and a baby. We were crammed into a booth. Our server seemed very rude and didn't give a shit. We had sat there for over 10 minutes waiting for our drinks. Our appetizers came out fast, but any of the salads took over a half hour let alone the food. Food was pretty good. The worst part about this was when we had complained to the manager she didn't do anything. She just made excuses, and did not help the situation. I get that they had some kitchen issues, but if we were told that, and had an apology things could of been different. Bottom line: Management and service completely sucks. I will not return ever. read more

Stopped in for a drink and a blooming onion with the hubby. Sat at the bar and got great service. The two bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Made the visit worthwhile. The onion was "ok" but so greasy. We had a craving and we won't do that again for another few years. We should've got the wings like the people beside us (they looked great! the wings that is ;) ). Decent local place where lots of people go before and after the cinema next door. Always busy and bustling. read more

went there today and order ribs and loaded fries and the blooming onion and to say the lease the rest of the meal was ok but the onion was definitely cooked in old oil taste burnt and in no way should be served to anyone especially someone trying it for the first time at this location I had outback overseas and in the states but this one here let me down read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I live about a mile and a half away from this location, and will probably never be visiting again. My wife and I have been here a handful of times over the last year, usually right before or right after seeing a movie next door, and almost always during off-peak times. Unfortunately, it seems whenever we go, the service is always having an "off" day. Today, however, was the worst. We got to the restaurant and were seated around 1:50, ordered our drinks, and then ordered our food around 1:55. Unfortunately, this was the last time we saw our waiter for the better part of a half hour. He was given a large party on the other side of the restaurant, and forgot about the two parties of 2 on the other side of the restaurant. The other party had the bartender process their credit card after waiting for 15 minutes, while we had to flag down the manager to get any attention at all after a half hour. I can only assume that our food had been waiting for us for a solid 20 minutes, because we had to wait for our order to be remade. The manager comped half our bill, but after multiple experiences of what appears to be a chronic service issue, we'll just be taking our business elsewhere. read more

At least twice a month my family and I have dinner here. We always ask to sit in a certain area so we can have Jim B as our server; he's always professional and polite. I wouldn't want anyone else to wait on us. Our orders are always correct and delicious. He's very attentive to our needs and makes sure we have a delightful experience. Food is awesome and always worth coming back for. read more

I just left feeling less than pleased. I was there with my family for my birthday dinner and the manager seemed to have it out for our waitress, who we as a group were happy with. Not only did this woman come over pushing for us to complain about her, but she also mocked my husband after reluctantly replacing my awful tasting flat beer when he mentioned the color was even better looking on the replacement. I wish I had asked her name. I found her to very unprofessional and made for an unenjoyable night. read more

For an affordable chain restaurant... i feel compelled to write a review. Come stop here often on my way home from work because for the price, value, quality, speed and service you really can't beat it. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. I also can't help but notice how clean the flatware and wine glasses sparkle. It's a minor detail but having worked as a server myself many years ago I still notice these details that are clearly intentional efforts. Keep it up Outback and you'll keep seeing me. Also my server Ryan was great. read more

I've been to this location about four or five times now, and usually go either before or after seeing a movie next door (Showcase Cinemas in Lowell). Steaks were good, and usually cooked to my liking, and the small bread loaves are wonderful. Some negative things is the soda (coke, rootbeer) taste awful due to inappropriate mixture, dryed out cheesecake, and dirty bathrooms in need of maintenance. They just need to up their game a little, and it will be a great place. read more

Perfect to come here and see a movie afterward. :)

I had a decent dinner here. I try to avoid chains at all costs so I don't even know how to rate this place. The warm bread was good. I started off with two appetizers and they were large in size so that's all I had for dinner. Those were decent. My boyfriend went with his typical baby back ribs and those completely fell off the bone but I wasn't a fan of the sauce. Our drinks were good and strong just how I like 'em. The vibe of the place is completely different from the usual Miami spot I have been to; just a couple of old people seating at the bar, and some other one's that look like they have never seen a bar of soap. I miss my Miami crow men! I don't think I would ever come back here. The food was decent but the vibe of the place and the people are as important to me. read more

AUSSIE FRIES!!!! BLOOMIN' ONION!!!!! FRIESSSSSSS!!!! if you couldn't tell I do like the fries at the Outback Steakhouse Restaurants. The food here is great! For a college kid, it can be a little pricey but you do get what you pay for. I'm a fan of the ribs and burgers BECAUSE OF THE FRIES!!!!! As with the Chili's location, which I also reviewed (http://www.yelp.com/biz/chilis-grill-and-bar-lowell#hrid:o9suw8eb5FZxefp1Nsu1jQ) if you are planning to eat here on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night during a normal dinner hour CALL AHEAD!!! Even if you may not need it, better safe than sorry!!!! Service is just like any other restaurant chain. Parking is a pain due to the Chili's which is right next door and the Showcase Cinemas. Overall food is good, drink is good, location is great for them, and service does a jig on the par line (sometimes good, sometimes bad). I do recommend going there, especially for the fries!!!! read more

The workers here are really friendly!! Blooming onions! YUM, but a little too much and greasy I love their LAMB!! I always go here for the lamb. The steak is goood too. Strawberry Lemonade, YUMMY! read more

Came here with hubby and 2 daughters on a Saturday night after our first choice restaurant said the wait was 55 minutes. Love the call ahead seating, only waited 10 minutes. Seated at a booth, perfect, but too our server at least 7 minutes to greet us, then another 7 to get waters and bread...we were starving. Small order cheese fries were hot and delicious, perfect to stave off the hunger while we waited for our meal. Hubby's salad came as ordered without onions, looked fresh. Meals arrived about 10 minutes after hubbys salad. Daughter 1 had Alice springs chicken, said it had way too much cheese on it, but chicken was good not dry. Daughter 2 had the parm pasta, sort of a fettuccini Alfredo, it was hot and nicely sauced, not too dry. I had the 6 oz outback special with king crab legs and sweet potato. Steak was cooked properly, but a little tough, even at medium rare. Crab legs were good, and the sweet potato, once I removed the ridiculous amount of butter, was soft and tasty. I also had a blackberry martini that was tasty and cold, but apparently made with raspberry vodka not blackberry vodka (so why not call it a raspberry martini?), but when I got to the end of the martini, there was goop in the glass that must have been the end of the pineapple juice. My husbands meal was not good. 6 ounce outback special cooked medium on the wood fire was cooked to the correct done ness but was cold. Sweet potato fries must have been the bottom of the fryer basket, black, all short dry pieces and also cold. When our server returned to aske how everything was, he told her it was cold, and she went to get another. Tad the manager arrived with steak #2, and new fries. The fries were much much better, hot, moist. The steak was cooked on the flat top, was very thing, and was so well done it was unbelievable! Server returned, and we told her about steak #2, off she went, and soon, back was Tad with steak #3, no fries (per our request). Three times the charm, and my husband ate every bite of #3. Tad came by again and also offered us desserts on the house because of the issues. Spotted dog sundae was super yummy and inhaled by daughter 2, sinful sundae with no strawberries declared wonderful by daughter 1, and hubby's sundae somehow eaten by the three steak man because it was so good. Server returned with the check, which charged us for the desserts, so, when Tad swung by for the fourth (!) time, we asked if the bill was correct and he said no, and went to fix it. Fifth and final visit by Tad, we had the correct check, he had apologized at least 10 times, and we could go. Four stars based on the final versions of the foods. Attention management: Don't drown the Alice springs chicken in cheese, and make sure your back of the house manager does not let the staff bring out fries that are clearly under par. Remind servers to check with the manager before presenting a check to a table that has had multiple issues with their meals. Bartenders should shake the pineapple juice a little better, that bottom of the glass goop was yukky. And save the environment, stop using styrofoam Togo containers. Terrific host staff by the way, friendly, accurate wait time estimate. Good job by bus staff cleaning tables, from what I could see from my location. We will return, but I probably would go for the filet. The outback special was just too much work to chew. read more

I joined a couple of friends there for dinner today. I ordered hot tea and a combo with the Outback Special and ribs. I've had good experiences at Outback before, but this was not one of them. The waitress had to be reminded to bring sugar for the tea, and the "Outback Special" was so dry as to be tasteless. The ribs were even humdrum. To top it off, I slipped on something wet (sauce, perhaps) on the floor when I was returning to the table, and fell on all fours. The waitstaff asked immediately if I was OK, and said management would be out to talk to me about it. The waitstaff had to _remind_ the manager to come talk to me, and he (Tad? Todd?) gave me a blank sheet of paper to write my info on for their insurance. He didn't come back for it, and I gave it to one of the employees near the door as I left. No one even bothered to clean up the floor I had slipped on, and as I left I noticed it was still a bit slippery. Brilliant. Only the waitstaff being pretty on top of things (other than no sugar for tea) kept this from being a one-star review. read more

I would highly recommend them, not only for the food, but for their great service. I have a child that has special needs that was having a difficult time yesterday after a long travel here from Texas. Jim was came over and talked to him and played tic tac toe with him. He had him eating and smiling in no time. Our waiter Gray was awesome and very attentive to our large party. We appreciate the good food and great service! We will definitely be going back there when we come back from Texas. Okay read more

I've have been to outback a thousand times, but this time was a truly memorable experience due to our phenomenal waiter Jim. From constantly refilling our waters to joking around with us about our homeland, he was exceptional and we will definitely ask for him in the future. read more

This Outback Steakhouse I would not recommend. First, I called ahead for seating. The hostess informed me that it was a 20 min wait. On the phone I asked if I should go inside and get the buzzer. She said no and that I was on the list. I go inside in 15 and get told I have to wait another 20 because the wait starts once you get the buzzer. This angered me. Next, the cheesy fries were awful. The "chopped bacon" is shake crumbles. The cheese wasn't gooey at all. Also, my boyfriends steak was RAW. This was not the servers fault (any of it). Jason is awesome and he clearly knows what he is doing. He brought the steak back and it was cooked properly. Overall - Jason was great but food and the pointless call ahead seating ruined my night. read more

Best food they have the beets steak and bloomin onion. Great service I recommend It! read more

Was there two weeks ago, Sevice was good, but steak was dry. Overall 3 stars. Maybe give them another try...

I love the Outback in Randolph but I was beyond disappointed in the Lowell location. The baked potato (which is usually my favorite part of the meal) was not cooked properly, it was hard not the usual fluffy inside. The outside had the consistency of a microwaved potato skin! My son's steak was over cooked with grill mark's only on one side. The glass ware was not clean. Terrible service. I will never go back. read more

Went in tonight for dinner. We were seated right away but our server took awhile to even come to the table. When he finally came to the table we were brought bread and then our waiter went into the bathroom and after over 10 plus minutes he never came out of the bathroom. We waited another 15 min and then decided to leave. We never got to place our order. Our previous visit there was was right after they opened for the day. The restaurant was not busy at all. We waited almost 45 min for our meal, waiter never came back to the table and then another 30 min. for our check. We won't be returning to this Outback. read more

Horrible! We used to come there a lot but the last time we came in was really bad. All the dishes came out stone cold we replaced every dish until we even cancelled some because we were so disappointed and angry. After complaining the manager came over but didn't even apologize or gave us any discount. We are not coming back. read more

My family and I have been coming to the Lowell, MA Outback Steakhouse location for many years. We are always impressed with how friendly, and attentive the staff here is. We are always satisfied with the service, perfect consistancy of our order everytime, and the value of dining out with a large family/children. Keep up good work, that keeps us coming back! read more

Today my girlfriends and I made plans to have dinner and a movie. Since Outback is next do to Lowell Cinema we thought it was a great idea. For a appetizer we ordered "Chicken Wings". When they arrived I asked the server for hot sauce. She brought me ketchup and bread instead. There was hardly any meat on the Chicken wings and they had an after taste. For entrées three of us ordered Cheese burgers wrapped in lettuce with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. Our waitress brought us hamburgers with only tomatoes on them. When we asked her for cheese she took the burgers back and added cheese. The burgers were so cold that the cheese wouldn't even melt. She kept leaving as we were talking to her and seemed very impatient. I had a very awful experience and will think twice before going back. read more

I'm in town for the week and I admit my hotel is very close to this OB. Long story short, management needs to supervise the employees....food quality was ok (by OB standards), service was take out only and that is where I got a great view of activity outside the restaurant...oh, I forgot to mention I got no napkins or plasticware as requested for my take-out order. read more

Solid service, reliable quality! Also the wine selection pairs pretty well with the food for a chain restaurant. Still my go to spot for a nice rib-eye if I do not want to go out and spend a fortune. read more

Service was good but if you order the steak quesadillas expect the "rib-eye" inside of them to be mostly just the fat trimmings.

Ate at outback in Lowel Ma.. had a severe allergic reaction, let waitress know she offered me benydral. 10 minutes later she came back telling me manager won't let her give it to me and if I need help they will call 911. I complained to waitress 45 minutes later because manager never came to check on me. It wasn't until I complained to waitress that the manager decided to check on me. She told me there is no peaches in the drink I ordered, which I was aware of I have had it before and read the menu: my boyfriend and waitress both tried drink and tasted peaches. It was clearly made wrong. Also , complained about purple steak. The manager was rude.. blaming me and made a smart remark because I told her I'm also allergic to anchovy's and she's tells me to not eat ceaser dressing, and She laughed and walked away. read more

Service was good, food was not good. My steak was just ok, but my fiancée's crab cakes were inedible. The manager came over to discuss, but the solution wasn't very satisfactory and there wasn't much of an explanation or apology. As a chain, the prices they charge for underwhelming food is a real deal breaker Doubt we'll be back read more
