We had a horrible day (8 hours) at the dealership and we were starving Our server, Pete G., got us our food ASAP and brightened our day. Thank you so much. Hubby had the prime rib, sweet potato and Caesar salad. I had a sirloin, loaded baked potato and a house salad. Everything was delicious as usual. Not too loud and just cozy even while sitting on the bar area. Thank you again to Pete G. And Outback in general! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Dinner with the hubby after a horrible day at the Toyota dealership - Steakhouses Near Me - Modesto, California

Took my step dad here for his 85th bday tonight. I hadn't been here for a few years; I was astonished at how run down the restaurant seems to have gotten. I arrived at 4:30pm (they opened at 3pm) and the front door glass was filthy...most likely hadn't been cleaned since the day prior. Once inside I immediately noticed a musky smell and once at our table was sickened by how filthy the overhead light fixtures are (caked on dust and splats of old dried food still stuck on them)....looked around to see all were filthy. We all had filets and a ribeye....none had any flavor and the ribeye was tough. Server was ok service, but just mediocre. Needless to say, we won't be back again. read more

The past few times we have dined here have been a vast improvement from my last review a year ago. I still want them to bring back three items, in order of importance: meatloaf with the Fresno chili jam sauce, the salted caramel cookie, and the broccoli soup!! I'm a creature of habit and I usually order the same items each time or it varies only slightly. I love the potato soup on most days, suggestion: always upgrade to a bowl! Occasionally, it has been too salty, most days it is suburb flavor, with the cheesy and bacon goodness on top! 86 the green onions please. I enjoy the kids mac, as another upgrade. I prefer it over the steakhouse mac and cheese. Additionally, I love the shrimp. I really wish they would be able to make it half & half as an option. Meaning, I could have 3 coconut shrimp and 3 grilled shrimp as my entrée. PLEASE seriously consider my requests/suggestions on this review. The current managers, Elliot & Juan are amazing and always take good care of us and other patrons! (Side note: we still miss Wendy). Our server most recently in the bar dining area, was new. However, it didn't seem to show. She was kind, polite, and attentive to us, and all of her tables. The past few times the hostess was amazing! It creates a much better atmosphere when the staff are friendly and welcoming. The reason I say this is because the other hostess has been very curt and hostile over the phone and in person. It is just an unpleasant experience when that happens. For the dessert that comes with the Aussie, Aussie, Aussie meal, I absolutely adore the raspberry sauce that comes with the cheesecake! Outback can upgrade the dessert to something of your choice for a nominal fee. I feel it is worth paying a few bucks more to have the dessert of your choice. Cheers mate! ;) read more

Outback Steakhouse - Part of the Aussie, Aussie, Aussie...oy, oy, oy! - Steakhouses Near Me - Modesto, California

First off I have to say Outback used to be one of my steak house chains. The Bloomin Onion , the wallabe darn, and a steak, hmm. Its been a while since Ive been here, a few years more or less. I realy enjoyed my meal, and service was ok.. Thus why the 4 stars.. Long time ago, remember one of there staff, or the hostess , would open the doors for you, now it was 3 girls up front, not sure if one was being trained or what, but a little help maybe specially a guy with a cane... Ok, im past that, but our waiter was a little slow as well, not sure if she was overwhelmed but to honest the place was not really dead, but not booming for the dinner hour either. I came here for my bday dinner, and was looking forward to eating there since its been a while.. Ambiance is relaxing, mostly booths, but a few tables in the back if you dont like booths like myself.. Bar is has some tvs, and can make most drinks that I asked if they could do it.. We had the bloomin Onion , my wife had the Salmon, which looked soooo GooD.. I had the steak and alice chicken, or something like that, was really good... Wasnt able to eat the chicken, due to step daughter eating my lefts overs that night..... sigh, lol... I fel bad we only brought he a bloomin Onion, so wasnt to mad about it.. I would rate this Outback Steakhouse with a 5 star if the customer service was behind in things... and in my eyes a 4 star.. But food gets a 5 star.... read more

Came in with my family. We were a party of eight and our waiter was Patrick. He had exceptional customer service and made us feel very welcomed to the establishment. Hang on to him employees like that are hard to find!! read more

Our server David was the highlight of the night. He was charismatic, quick-witted, and made the experience memorable from start to finish. Great service, great attitude, and genuinely hilarious. The place was packed, but you'd think we were his only table with how attentive and fast he was. Multitasking king. Oh, and the food was good too. read more

I like Dublin Outback cuz that seared Prime Rib is FIRE & Modesto don't have it. But, the bone in ribeye was a pretty good substitute. I ordered ahead & it was ready on time. Everything was great! read more

Outback Modesto... Ambiance is casual and we opted to sit in the bar area, Flora was great, with as busy as the bar area was, she did her best to keep up. Had the Alice Springs chicken combo with 5oz sirloin and the steak was a bit chewy. Chicken was perfectly cooked though. For an appetizer had the mushrooms. They are really good. Wifey had the bloomin' fried chicken and was only able to eat half. Not because it was bad but because it was a lot. Wouldn't recommend the chicken tortilla soup unless you want to season it at the table to your taste. It is pretty heavy and I had to salt it quite a bit and generally don't add salt to anything I get when we eat out normally. Wife loved the potato soup so would recommend that as an alternative. Overall good experience and pretty consistent for Outback. read more

Had not been in this establishment in so long! My husband got some gift cards and we were excited to eat that bloomin onion. It was perfectly crisp and beautiful! We are at point where we should not consume so much salt but we said a Hail Mary and we ate as much as we could. I enjoyed my chicken on the barbie it was good and so was that baked potato. Again everything was salty but that's because we are old and can't have so much of it. Our waitress was so nice she just kept filling up our cups with water and made sure she came around to ask if we needed anything. Unfortunately we didn't catch her name. My husband still has money left over on his gift card and we will definitely come in to try some dessert. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Bloomin' Onion® - Steakhouses Near Me - Modesto, California

It's a franchise so what can you expect. I was thinking 3 star after my meal and when I went to do my review that's exactly what they had 3 stars, so I agree with the consensus. It's sad when the best thing you like from a steakhouse is the bread. But I liked the bread more than the steak which was too small in my opinion (9oz.) and I prefer the coconut shrimp at Red Lobster over Outbacks. The salad was so small and not exciting in the least. It reminded of the $1.35 packs you buy pre mixed from the store. The service was friendly but overall it reminded me why it's been so long since I been there. I was almost going to order their special for $18.99 you get coconut shrimp, and two sides and a piece of chesscake. I saw the cheesecake get delivered to someone else and it was the smallest, thinest slice of cheesecake I ever seen. I would have been so disappointed if they braught me that tiny little slice at the end. It was Friday night and they wasn't even packed at all. I know why now. Outback, please step up your game. read more

My friend and I came for appetizers and drinks at the bar. It's a Monday night. She was by itself. I had a 9 ounce glass of wine. She had a drink. She never came back to ask us if we want to second drink now we're finished the game is on so we were gonna get a second set of drinks, but it's too late now we're ready to go the Manager came and just sit and talked to the customers in the corner and never did around around the bar before he was sitting in the corner to talk to VIPs. Whoever they may be, but that took away from their sales so now we're just got our check wouldn't even want water because the TV and our customers are more important than us!!!! Music was average! She takes care of the people, the customers on the other side of the bar and when she gets to us, she turns her back to us and walk away. We have to call her back to us so that took care of that one drink and we're out. read more

Came in here after a long hiatus of not eating at outback my cousin's birthday one of his favorite places to eat so he came in sat down at the bar. We were greeted by a lovely bartender by the name of "Flor" . It was a busy Friday night we'll ask for menus got some drinks service was great. Got our food took a while other people that sat down after us had gotten their meals before us. Flor took care of us , keeping our drinks cold , bread and butter stocked. Let's not forget it's a Friday night and graduation week. The only thing I was disappointed about is that we came in to try out there 14.99 special. In which they did not participate in. Food was good the bar service was excellent. I will definitely come back. Hopefully not a such a busy night. Thank you Flor for the extra extra service! read more

Okay Outback, okay! Haven't been here in years, and I will say that I will be back! The bloomin chicken didn't disappoint. I will say it was giving Texas Roadhouse, in its own way, but was really good! The service was good, seemed kinda empty, was also a weeknight I believe. The decor seems outdated but I haven't been there in years but the overall vibe and food were great! read more

Everything!! Terrible service Terrible food. Will never go back. I went because Texas Road House was packed and now I know why. We had to ask the bus boy who couldn't speak English for a bag because our waitress was hard to find. They tried to bring us our neighbors food I refused it then our neighbors didnt get what they ordered either so the wife ate alone. Then they tried to give them our food. The wings were over salted and the celery wad brown and yellow. Say your out and dont serve it. That would have been better than whay they served. read more

Outback Steakhouse - The celery served with the crazy salty wings. It was brown and yellow. Not to mention the crazy service. OMG!! It was the worst. - Steakhouses Near Me - Modesto, California

I travel a lot for work. Usually I try to eat at local restaurants, but sometimes I'm just too tired for the hour-long Yelp search looking for the perfect spot. On those days I look for Outback. They never disappoint. I usually sit at the bar. And, like always, this tome I got great service and great food. A little Irish whiskey. And I didn't exceed my company's limit. And this one had some of the best iced tea I ever tasted. read more

Service great, food mid. The strawberry lemonade taste to be made with bad sink water. The blooming onion tatsted like it was fried in old oil. The mac-n-cheese was really good though! read more

Service was soooooo slow and it was 2:30pm and not super busy. They seem to also have an aversion to removing plates and never once offered drink refills. Husband ordered steak medium rare and it was WELL DONE. read more

Today my son chose to dine in at Outback Steakhouse. Granted, he has never been here before because he is not a meat eater like his father. I truly forgot our servers name, but she was a female server that also took care of the bar area 3 months ago. It was the best service we had in a very long time, and I also tipped in that same compacity. She was very attentive and most definitely on top of everything .i.e. refills of Shirely Temples/ beverage's. I placed my half empty glass down on the table and there she appeared with a fresh one. The strawberry mojito was very good! We started off with the highly addictive bread and butter. I order the prime rib medium and my son order ribeye and lobster combo which was also his first time trying. Thank you Outback and the female server from the bar for the amazing food and the welcoming and friendly service. If the little guy runs for 3TD's again and continue honors roll at school, we will be back! read more

Seating at the bar is a 100% better experience. The bartender makes sure to greet you and is attentive to serving drinks as well as taking your dinner order. The Wallaby Darned drink is delicious, impossible to have just one. read more

We had been recently disappointed with local restaurants lately, so decided to give Outback another try (we had drifted away in the last couple of years) We were both incredibly surprised at the quality of food and the service! My husband ordered Prime Rib and I got the salmon. His was perfect as was mine. It was fresh and perfectly cooked and definitely worth every cent! Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive and we will definitely add this back into our rotation of restaurants when we want a nice night out! read more

We dined at the restaurant on Thursday and were seated promptly . My wife ordered the rib eye steak and I ordered the spicey ribeye . After a short wait , the steaks came out and my wife's steak was very thick and looked really nice. It was cooked to perfection and she said it tasted good. Mine on the other hand was very thin, dark and looked over cooked. I ordered medium and it was well done and very dry. It was like an old freezer burnt steak. It did have a good taste . The waitress offered to sent it back but I refused. Guess I might just stick with Texas Roadhouse. read more

Delicious hot wings, I would recommend it. I would come back for more. Great server and very fast read more

We dined in at 3pm on a Tuesday right when they opened. We sat in a booth in the bar. The bar tender was our waitress, her service was impeccable! She was so good that she read my facial expressions and responded attentively to them. She was awesome! Drinks were refilled without asking and the bread was refilled too! The steak was done to perfection and our specifications! Very tasty and our grilled lobster was delicious! We both got the loaded baked potatoes, I really liked how they put the salt on the outside of the baked potatoes on the skin. The ambiance was very casual but again we were in the bar. read more

Awesome steak, we were quickly and served well. The hostess and waiter were gracious and helpful.

Great spot, got there before the rush and sat down right away. At the bar area since it was just me. Service was spot on.

Their special was raved about and recommended by staff. But when I tried it out it was average and left a bad aftertaste. MY GRADE: C plus. read more

Food was EXCELLENT. Service was AMAZING. Big WOW for this restaurant. I was there about 2 years ago with a not very good experience by then but we went back today to celebrate my 55th birthday and what a wonderful experience: everything was excellent, just how it supposed to be: steaks cooked to perfection.

I ordered the steak & chicken and my wife ordered a pasta dish that had steak & shrimp in it. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly & the shrimp was good. My steak was a bit overcooked, so a bit tough. The chicken was ok. Bread was good & fresh. Service was good. read more

We wend to celebrate my mother-in-law's 80th birthday. The food was great, as usual. We went on a weekday. We enjoyed streak, lobster, burgers, and, of course, the bloomin' onion (my favorite). The spices on their steak is the perfect blend. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. We were left unchecked on for long periods of time. Waitress was pleasant but did not go out of her way to service us. Meals were well portioned with plenty to take home as left-overs. It would have been nice when we asked for a bag for the waitress to bag our boxes of leftovers since we boxed them up ourselves and clearly had a senior on our party. Suggested tip amounts in the receipt start at 18%. Nope, not this time. But we did pay above 15%. read more
