Outback Steakhouse - Had to take back all of our salads on a to-go order because someone thought it would be okay to put brown, wilted lettuce in them. - Steakhouses Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Not sure why this Outback has a 2.8 star rating. Maybe some past poor management issues. Our meal tonight was excellent and service was fantastic. Cindy did a great as our server. We started with Aussie cheese fries and they were hot and cheesy. My wife ordered the 6 oz sirloin with broccoli. I ordered the sirloin and grilled shrimp with asparagus. Both steaks were cooked to perfection. Vegetables were plentiful. Whatever issues they had in the past are gone. As evident by a full restaurant. read more

One of the main chain restaurants in OBX, it has been consistent quality after multiple visits to this location; however, this visit was just OK. Order had a missing entree, price is too high for the quality and filet was way too overcooked. Guest service was good though, & did refund pre-purchased items that were not received. read more

Good experience , decent food for a quick dinner out. The waitresses sang happy birthday to my kids and gave them ice cream which was very nice read more

Food was not the best. Broccoli for my nephew was BAD. What really upset me was $116.000 order and food was packed together. They couldn't spare one more container. Spoke the manager because at first I didn't think it was all there. Manager said sorry. read more

Very nice manager ,Rebecca I believe, was very kind about our concern the cucumber was not crisp. Rest of the meal was good and baked potato was perfect. I would go back again. read more

I found a piece of plastic in my salad. It was about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. I asked for the manager. Her response was to offer me something else and say she would take it off the bill. No apology. The vibe I got from her was that she really didn't care. I understand things happen, it's how they are handled that speaks volumes about the restaurant. read more

Blooming onion, pork chops, wedge lettuce with feta dressing. Mashed potatoes need more seasoning, potato soup too thick. Gave honest observation. More than enough food. It was very good. We will go back. read more

On Friday, we decided to go to Outback as a family for dinner. We were a group of nine. When we arrived, the hostess treated us very poorly. She made us wait for over an hour because she said she didn't have a table for the whole family, when that was a lie. They have very bad service, and the hostess doesn't have customer service. We waited an hour, and they still didn't give us a table. So, we decided to go to another restaurant where they treated us very well! read more

The food was hot, like I like it. The portions were good for the price. Everything was fresh and it didn't take long my order to arrive to my table. The wait staff were very nice and helpful. I can't remember her name but it was a great experience. read more

New management, someone that knows how to cook a steak. This place is in serious need of help.

Went there today 6-14-25 at 12:00 had a party of 9 was told they were short handed they were not taking party's over 7. The bathrooms were not clean. So we left. Very disappointed at Outback! read more

On my last review I indicated that service had improved greatly from our previous many experiences. I heard they are under new management and it tells. The service is great, no waiting, foods came to the table when they should have and the 6 once filet that was tough on our last visit- melted in my mouth this time. Bloomin Onion, drinks, salad and entrees were perfect- really! This manager deserves a raise! read more

Save your money. We went here for a girls dinner on july 24th 2025 on our vacation and this was the worst experience ever. We had 5 people and all ordered steak. Our food came out 1.25 hours after it was sent in. After cutting into the steaks, we had to send them all back because every single one of them was cooked horribly wrong and looked like they were charred and forgotten on the grill. After this, we learned that the table next to us and our checks got mixed up and we had to wait to get that figured out before our steaks came back out. At this point we'd been here for more than 2 hours. Our steaks came out and they were cooked much better but the manager Rebecca still haden't talked to us or even apologized. She had walked by us about 5 times and was even looking at us from across the restaurant. No sympathy or respect. Not to mention this was on a Thursday night and was not busy at all... 5 tables in total. Just crazy and so unprofessional. We were there 3.25 hours (more than 3 hours just waiting). Don't come. Ever. read more

We are on a family vacation in the Outer Banks and decided to try Outback Steakhouse in Nags Head for dinner. Since we were coming in with a larger party, including 5 kids, we called ahead in the afternoon to reserve a table for dinner. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess, but unfortunately there was a small mix up with our reservation. The manager, Sam D. was very quick to step in and help accommodate our large party, making sure we were all seated comfortably. The staff even went out of their way to locate a large box of crayons to keep our kids occupied! We got started with a blooming onion, mac and cheese bites and loaded cheese fries. All the appetizers came out quickly, were fresh, hot and delicious! Our server, Katie C. was exceptional! Although clearly busy, she was extremely attentive to our needs, kept our drinks filled and was very personable and friendly. She gave us great recommendations from the menu and was great with our large party and kids! Our dinners all came out in a timely manner, and like the appetizers, were fresh, hot and delicious. Portion sizes were large and we all had leftovers to bring home! We then ordered dessert which was delicious as well. Throughout the meal, the manager, Sam D. came over to check on us numerous times. She was so sweet and friendly! Overall, we had an extremely positive experience and would be very likely to return in the future! read more

We came for dinner and were seated at a table in the bar area by the manager. The restaurant was more than half full, and staff seemed a bit harried. Our server was the bartender, Dusty, who by himself had to make all drinks for the restaurant as well as be the bartender for a half dozen guests and server three tables in the bar area. Still, he did a great job and was friendly. The boomerang cocktail flight was well worth the $7 for four drink samplers. The $22 6 oz filet mignon was okay, just not flavorful, but the temperature was fine. The Parmesan-encrusted chicken sandwich was a hit--super delicious and full of flavor with sizzling hot melted cheese smothered over the juicy chicken breast. The Bloomin' onion was greasy and delicious but such a large size, we couldn't eat more than a quarter of it. Presentation and taste were excellent. A great value at $9. Toward the end of the meal two male teens (who had been rude and unreasonably demanding to their server throughout their meal) skipped out on the bill and the manager went chasing them, but they got away. read more

Outback Steakhouse - This is what I ordered last time and loved it - Steakhouses Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

We sat in bar area tables and was serviced by the bartender name Chris. He was on his game and was very polite and respectful to say the least. The food was pretty standard across the board with their restaurants. I do have to say that their coconut shrimp had shrunk down a few sizes.the steak and cheese dip was pretty much cheese dip and did not look like the menu photo. But their prime rib was pretty good and the shrimp and steak tip pasta in Alfredo sauce was pretty good as well. They had seared ahi tuna on the menu which surprisingly was really good as well. But our server was the highlight of the evening dining out. read more

Super shocked tonight , the Greatest Bartender Ana not longer works in the Bar anymore, she has been works in the this outback Bar over 20 years, Have no idea what is going on . The reason we keep coming back because of her , food is ok, Will love to see her back to bar again read more

Picked up dinner here after a few other restaurants were closed (we are here during off season). Food was exactly how you expect Outback to taste. The loss of star was for the pickup service and wait time. The woman running the area clearly needed help and was a bit overworked and impatient. With the number of people picking up they could use 2-3 people like my Outback at home. They clearly need a sign to tell people to stay in their cars as this slowed her down and 2 people waited at the door and in her way. Also we were told our order would be ready in 20 minutes but it took almost 40 minutes for it to come out. read more

So we went there the 1st night we arrived. The waitress was amazing! But the food was horrible. How do you go to a steak house and get an overcooked steak! 3 steaks were ordered. All 3 steaks had the same results. One ribeye. Which was over cooked. We couldn't even eat that one. 2nd was a sirloin medium rare. Came out medium well. 3 rd steak medium rare. Came out burnt and cold!!! Shame on you all. We were never even asked why we didn't eat our steaks. And why we didn't want to go boxes. 1st and last time to go there. 27 plus dollars for a steak. That was even worth the plate it was served on! read more

Plates were hotter than the food. Pretty sure they just grabbed the leftovers that were sitting in the window under the heat lamp. Messed up the salad. Beer taps not working. Tables dirty. Staff unengaged. Things have not faired well in the Outback. read more

When I say we are seasoned Outback patrons I mean it. It's our go to when we are in our hometown or traveling because you can depend on the food being awesome and service being on point with their guests. We stopped in between events at OBX and my order was messed up- I ordered Alice Springs Chicken baked potato and mixed veggies. Our food is brought out I have veggies and no Chicken? Waitress makes her rounds I explain I'm missing my chicken she was like grilled chicken I knew she was clueless. I said I ordered Alice Springs Chicken - she then goes and puts in the order she said would you love me that in a to go box? WTH ‍ WTH no I would like it with my veggies. So she brings out my bill and says I only charged you for chicken... I look and she had billed me separately for the baked potato & veggies.. my husband says that was your mistake not ours she couldn't understand it at all. Outback OBX let us down.. read more

...let it be know the food was excellent and I enjoyed my time there. My only disappointment was the particular power stroked manager at the time. I am loud and proud but still thought he could have just left it alone considering whomever complained about the jokes at the bar had left. Great meal though!!! read more

This Outback had A/C Problems during our visit in July 2024. We were sweating after about ten minutes. Only about half of the a/c units were working and to my understanding, that had been the case for several days. With the a/c not working properly, the floors very very slick. This seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Food & service were good. We would have eaten here again while on vacation but didnt do so because of the a/c. I would inquire about the a/c before sitting down. read more

Please choose somewhere else to eat. We live here, ate here once and will never be back. Our server was amazing but the food was awful. The steak was grey, lettuce was old and slimy, burger meat was soft. Fries were decent. We all left after not eating much and hoping no one gets sick. read more

after telling me on the phone there was no wait we arrived 10 minutes later to be told an hour wait, the waiter was ok but the food was HORRIBLE, the steaks were supposed to be medium and they were well done & like shoe leather the food was all cold except the appittizers This location no longer serves prime rib Dont waste your time or money, worst Outback experience ever!! read more

Not at all clean. Could see dirt all around the restaurant. No one seems to care about anything. Only reason why we went was because no other place was open at this time. Would have preferred to starve. Had blooming onion and Alfredo pasta and chicken grilled. Food was not bad read more

I am extremely impressed, after having a somewhat compromised beginning to my experience. I went into the restaurant, was seated and waited approximately 15 minutes to be acknowledged, after being seated at the table. After this amount of time passed, the manager took my order and handled the situation in an excellent manner. As every outback steaks were good, food was good, drinks were great. Now when are they going to serve and conquer age beef? And rule the world. read more

It's outback, so u get what you expect. But we picked up our food and it was all cold. Still good haha because it's outback. Just had to microwave it. read more

Ordered two new york strip entrees for curbside pick up last night. The steaks were perfectly cooked but it just needed a bit more seasoning for my liking. Overall it was good though. My mashed potatoes and fries were also pretty tasty. Everything was in the bag including their free appetizer bread along with utensils. Will be back when I'm in town. read more
