We came here for Mother's Day, for the first time in a while. We were seated immediately, and we had a great waitress. It was her first time on the floor and she was very nice. Well, a female manager came to check on us, and my husband asked for a few extra slices of lemon. The MANAGER came back with the lemons in her bare hands and placed them on a plate. I was about to say something, but I did not want our food possibly tampered with. Other than the lemon issue, everything else was fine. read more

Service in the bar section was AWFUL! He took his sweet time coming to greet us. Then walked by us 3 times before getting our order. Then a mess of plates lay stacked up for 5 or 6 trips by us. There were approximately 10 people in the whole restaurant so this couldn't have been why he was so terribly. A turtle could have beat him in a foot race. When he realized I wasn't pleased he decided to be attentive. Too late man. read more

Service was fantastic. Our server Lauren was the best. Food was good and service was fast and top notch.

Had awesome service with Danielle. She was an awesome waitress. She was knowledgeable and friendly. Very pleasant experience! Food awesome as well! read more

This location has exceptional service from John and Richie. I am sooo and love the attention at the bar top. The Blonde Ale is fantastic!

Had lunch here midday over the weekend. Restaurant wasn't too crowded and we were seated promptly and provided a high chair. Our waitress, Lexy, was delightful. From the first order of our drinks until the check was requested, she provided prompt, non-intrusive, charming service. We had the cheese fries, burger, and sirloin. Everything was cooked to correct temp per request. Mashed potatoes and Caesar salad were on point. I hadn't been to an Outback in decades but I would certainly return to this location! read more

First place I ate coming to Lufkin for the first time to visit my boyfriend. Coming here at the time there wasn't really any people but the waiter that we got was really nice and he seemed like a chill guy. He's really good at his job and friendly to chat with. The food there, I have to say taste better than any Outback Steakhouse I've ever been, and I live in Houston. Definitely hoping to come back here again read more

Delicious food, absolutely the best steak house in lufkin or nacogdoches. I usually order the ribeye with loaded mashed potatoes, a salad and sweet tea. Very rarely am i dissapointed her. read more

Consistent food and impressive service, I ate there two night in a row. Will be back. read more

They were out of prime rib at the out clock on a Sat. Blooming onion was so over fried it crumble between your fingers when trying to eat it. Ribey Steak had very little favor. Dinner was nor worth the 90 + dollars for 2. read more

Ordered a large and small rib eye Steaks were tough and baked potato wasn't even warm enough to melt the butter. read more

If you live or are passing through Lufkin and want a good meal stop here! I had the bourbon bacon salmon and a salad . The blue cheese vinaigrette dressing (I know sounds a bit weird) was unbelievable. The entire meal was amazing!! I highly recommend eating here read more

Outback's OK. Like with any big chain restaurant, you have to cater to the strengths of the franchise if you want to have a decent dining experience. In the case of Outback that means steak (and maybe chicken). I had the T-Bone most recently, and it was a decent cut of meat. Service is good. We usually sit in the bar area, and there's never any time where I desperately needed a server and couldn't find one. The food did take a while getting to us, but that's more a function of the kitchen than the server. read more

Sunday 11/4 my husband and I stopped here at 2ish pm. Traveling from Shreveport. We walked in was asked how many? The hostess advised the young lady to seat us; she reluctantly headed to the back of the restaurant, I asked to be seated instead like 3 rows further up. The young lady laid the napkin wrapped silverware on the table and left. Did not say one word!! I went to the ladies room. Came back sat for at least 5 -7 more minutes, asked my husband have you seen a waiter? He had not. Was looking forward to dining since our local OB closed last year! There was no sense of urgency to provide any type of customer service. Appears OB didn't give a hoot about these customers! We got up,left and ate in Humble@ Pappas Seafood House! The customer service was excellent! read more

The service was great. The food was ok. What ruined my experience at Outback on September 4th was the manager John. He began yelling at employee. He was using harsh language and being very disruptive and unprofessional. I know you can not always be nice but you do not yell and cuss at your employees in front of customers ever. If he worked for me he would have been fired. read more

This spot is alright/average. I got the salmon dish it started with a T. My sides were creamy spinach and steakhouse Mac and cheese. I must say I was pleased because my experience with another outback was disappointing. Although the food was good/alright. For dessert I got the butter cake which I actually really enjoyed. It's a very simple dessert, and it's not as sweet as the other desserts. Consists of cream and strawberry sauce. If there were fresh strawberries and none of that sauce then I would be more in favor because personally I don't like the strawberry sauce. would definitely come again. the creamy spinach is literally the name. 3/5. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and thick and yummy macaroni. 4/5. The salmon was yummy /alright 3.5/5. The butter cake is a must if you don't want to eat something too sweet but enjoy dessert. I'd come again. They social distance tables, and the waitresses actually wear their masks correctly. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Salmon, creamy spinach, and steakhouse mac&cheese. - Steakhouses Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

See all

This was a huge disappointment. The front of the house sat me at a table and was pleasant and professional. The wait staff however weren't stellar. I asked for the steak with Jack Daniels sauce medium. There wasn't any pink strip. The so-called sauce looked like water. No one asked me how my steak was. Don't worry guys. I won't be back. read more

To start off, My best friend and I chose to eat at this location because I loved the outback in Dallas. We walked in, and there was no one to greet us and we waited for a long time to get seated. We got seated, ordered our food and the server gave us the wrong food but we let it go. Her steak looked a little weird but we didn't think much of it until we got back home and she started to feel really sick and vomited all over the place. She only started to feel sick after eating here and we will not be returning. read more

Dinned there on a road trip and the place was nice as expected the wait for a table wasn't long we too our seats and started browsing the options on the menus (By the way this was my first time at an outback steakhouse) chose our food annnnd nothing FOR 15 MINUTES we waited for "" Kacey"" to show up and take the orders we made 15 minutes earlier so she takes out orders and leaves no waters while we waited no nothing. ok so our food finally gets there and IT'S NOT EVEN KACEY WHO BRINGS IT some else bring our food this nice sweet girl named Noelle she was really cool made sure we had everything we needed just attentive BUT THAT KACEY CHICK JUST VERY VERY TERRIBLE didn't even see her again the whole visit I honestly don't know how she still has a job if we ever visit family there and eat at outback I will definitely request not to be put in her section read more

Outback is our go to place when we want a decent and relaxing steak dinner. Our travel plans put us in Lufkin around dinner time, so we elected to stop at this one for dinner. While one of the hallmarks of going with a national chain is being able to have a consistent experience, this one was even better than the usual good service we've come to expect. The staff at all points of contact was was great and our server was particularly good. If you find yourself in Lufkin, you can expect to get good food with good service at this Outback. read more

The service tonight was the best I think I've ever had in Lufkin. Everyone who dealt with us was polite, courteous, and prompt. The food was delicious. We will make an effort to come here more often from now on. read more

Great service in the take out I ordered a mashed potatoes and gravy for my 2 old daughter we had about 2 more hours left of a drive to get to our destination. Madison took our order and she was soooo nice overall a very wonderful vibe. Give sis a raise she deserves it. She would do great in management. read more

This place was the worst the service was bad the food didn't looked cook it took a while to get our drinks

We had lunch today at the Lufkin Outback Steakhouse. First visit. The restaurant was dark. Black ceilings with low lighting. The booth benches were too close to the table, uncomfortable and difficult to get in and out of even though we are both average size people. The server was average. His/her clothing smelled like cigarette smoke. Brought us water, took our orders. While this is a steak house, we ordered the lunch coconut shrimp and a burger with fries. Server asked how we wanted the burger cooked. Didn't ask anything else about how we wanted the burger. Brought us some bread which was good. Our order seemed to take a long time especially because the restaurant was not very crowded. We noticed that a patron who came in after us got his order before we did. Perhaps this was because it was a steak and baked potato. When the order did arrive: shrimp was overcooked with coconut breading too browned; vegetable were limp; fries were limp and not hot; burger had mustard and was dry. I looked at the shrimp and decided that I didn't want to send it back because we had already waited so long. The shrimp was ok because the sauce served with it was good. We ate the lunch because we were hungry but it was not a very good meal for the price. 10.99 for a mediocre burger and cold fries is too much! 8.99 for overcooked coconut shrimp and limp vegetables is too much. We will never eat at the Lufkin Outback Steakhouse again. read more

An excellent meal and very friendly wait staff, especially Tory. He helped us figure out exactly what we were in the mood for.

Passing through, decided to stop for a hot meal that wasn't fried. Excellent service by my waiter and excellent meal. This was worth the detour. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

My husband and I ate here on the weekend for our date night. I wish we would have chosen somewhere else to go. The tortilla soup wasn't very tasty, but the blue cheese wedge salad was awesome! My husband got a steak and asked for medium. Half of it was medium and the other half almost well done. After all, this is a steakhouse...So we expected the steak to come out how it was requested. The dessert was what looked like a Debbie cake brownie with 2 small scoops of ice cream for $8! It was very expensive and not worth it. We will not be returning! I would recommend Cheddar's any day! read more

For Lufkin, this is one of the better places to eat. Friendly service. Not usually overly crowded, do not normally have to wAit for seating. Stick to bottles or draft beer. Cocktails can be on the weaker side. read more

Great service, awesome food and drink. Jon the bartender, Columbia educated and stellar individual kept us entertained and well taken care of. Nick another manager also checked in regularly and everyone seemed to be on the same team and a happy atmosphere. Give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

our waiter was Sammie he was by far the best waiter we have had in a very long time we had a group of 20+ and you did not wait long for your drinks nor your food he was very patient with us and very organized to make sure our orders did not get mixed up nothing was wrong or cooked the way it was not supposed to be he will be the reason we come back make sure to ask for Sammie he will do you right!!!! read more

This restaurant is amazing. They have fun and friendly staff and they are all wearing masks. They made me feel safe in this pandemic.

This place is awful. Me and my parents went and ate here. First we got onion blow some and it was over cooked. And then out came the normal food the steak was salty and the shrimp was over Cooked! Honestly the only thing good about this place is their taste in music. read more

It's a chain, so you know what to expect when you go in, and this location definitely meets the expectations I have. The service is exceptional, food is always exemplary (though my medium steak was slightly on the med.-well side) and while the price is high, it's a steakhouse, it's going to be expensive no matter where you go. read more

About a month ago my family and I went to outback steakhouse because we wanted a nice place eat. The service was terrible! I ordered a medium well steak and I got a terrible steak. The steak was extremely under cooked and it had a TON fat and gristle. I also got a salad and the ranch on the salad is more of like a dip. The ranch was way too spicy! I haven't eaten beef since then! I was completely and truly disgusted. To be honest my opinion is Outback Steakhouse is one of the worst places to eat in Lufkin. read more

I've only been to this location a handful of times and it is usually just okay. The last time I dined here was on a Wednesday night. We walked right in and were seated promptly because they weren't too busy but we had to wait forever for our food. The bread was not as fresh as other locations I've tried either. read more

Tory is an exceptional waiter!!! He was very knowledgeable and welcoming! Me and my best friend came in for a delightful dinner. He was quick and courteous throughout our wonderful dinner!! Not sure which was greater the service or the food! Thanks again Tory!! read more

The food was excellent once we finally got the drinks and meal, but we never did receive the appetizer, extra plate, cinnamon butter or steak sauce. read more

Won't be returning. We came here became we recognized the company and had a specific expectation that was not met. The rib eye was too salty, the lamb wasn't cooked enough, the server wasn't good at all. If it was half the price, it'd be worth it. We really enjoyed the drink salad and bread. read more

Had the endless shrimp with grilled chicken breast and it was delicious. The volcano sauce was awesome! Our waiter Tory was exceptional & took very good care of us! Great experience all around. read more

Friday afternoon. Mediocre bartender. Slow and inattentive. I suspect management is on a downhill slide...
