I had a long day of traveling from California to Knoxville on Monday and was really hungry. I made the 30 minute drive from Knoxville to Oak Ridge where my hotel was located. I saw Outback Steakhouse near my hotel so stopped in for dinner before checking into my hotel. I was immediately seated and my server brought me fresh warm bread and an Arnold Palmer. I ordered a Ceasar salad and kookaburra chicken wings as my entree. My salad came immediately but it took 25 minutes to get my chicken wings! I told my server to box them up to go for me and I took them back to my hotel room to eat. The wings were delicious but don't understand why they took so long to cook? I never got an apology either. read more

This restaurant is not consistent at all. One day it's okay ,then go back the next day and everything from walking in the door to walking back out it is a total disaster. Food and service is absolutely terrible!! read more

I absolutely love Outback! The food has so much flavor and always cooked so well. I have never had an issue with the service and have always found the staff to be friendly and professional. The ambiance in this location is inviting and not too loud. AND the best part is the Chocolate Thunder is a gluten free brownie. Highly recommend! read more

The drinks are inconsistent, depending on which bartender you get. The food is even more inconsistent depending on the cook you get. I had been a patron there for over 20 years and was called a prostitute by a patron. He said bars are for men and that I shouldn't be sitting up at the bar. I am a 71-year-old woman that likes to sit at the a eat my meal and go home. I will not be going back to the Outback OAK RIDGE. read more

Wow wow wow ! My family of 24 (11 Kids) had lunch at this location on Monday. Alexus went above and beyond. Food and service was excellent. Alexus had a smile and happily served our large party. It truly was a wonderful experience. Thanks read more

Gal at the carry out window was polite. But the food was terrible. Burger and "steamed" veggies. read more

The service was ok but we ordered a Bloomin onion as an appetizer and within 3 minutes our entrees were delivered to the table! I want time to eat my appetizer before getting the entrees. Now I have to decide which one to let get cold, not ideal. The Bloomin onion was excellent but staff must give customers time to eat it! I learned that when at Outback only order appetizers. When you are finished, then order entrees. read more

Easy curbside order pickup. Food was excellent and very prompt. The gentleman who brought it out to me was very courteous. Totally enjoyed my meal. read more

Just to update my review. Outback manager did call and apologize for the food quality and made it right

We ordered online and the service was superb ! fast and the food was hot and cooked to perfection! Great experience.

The food was great and so was the service! My food was ready when they said it would be. The steaks were cooked exactly like they were supposed to be. When I asked for extra condiments, they gave me more than enough. Definitely will be going back! read more

Great steak annd seafood and extra great service from Alexus A! Appreciate the suggestions and menu knowledge!

Food was great. Tried a steak and shrimp pasta bowl, it was really delicious. Husband, Mr. Predictable, has a sirloin steak, he also reports that it was very good. The girl who did the curbside could have been a little more friendly. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. My husband and I ordered steak and shrimp pasta. I ordered my steak medium and he ordered his medium rare. Our food came and my steak was bright red in the middle, it was raw. My husband's was also raw. " Summer", our waitress took our food back to the kitchen to get cooked. She is a very loud waitress, she rushed us in and out of the restaurant. We will never be going back. read more

I've never been to Outback before, so this is a fresh take. I was seated promptly, and my drink order was quickly taken. My server's name was Mary and she was helpful and friendly. I ordered the pork chops with sides of rice and mixed veggies. The place was busy but not overly noisy, and I was surprised when my order came so quickly. The only thing that confused me was when Mary asked how I wanted my pork chop cooked, as I've never had to give a doneness range for pork chops before. I chose medium well and it came out perfect. The sweet mustard sauce was super yummy and the rice had good flavor. The carrot/squash mix was unseasoned and the carrots were a little too raw for my taste, but still edible. I really enjoyed this meal and will definitely come back and try something else. The prices were on par with other restaurants of this type. The space between tables was cramped because it was so crowded, so if you have a mobility aid, you might have a little difficulty navigating through. read more

It was 25 years ago since we last visited an Outback so it was time we gave it another go. It was very busy on a Saturday night so we sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited. The selection of real beer Vs. children's beer was better then normal have two types of Samuel Adams, very good indeed. The buzzing pagers are long gone, they send you a text. I wonder how long they wait before they sell your cell number onto car warranty companies? Oddly we were seated in the bar area itself. Sierra was an outstanding waitress and took very good care of us. I asked for no dusting on my steak and BOY did it make a huge improvement. The food was up quickly, hardly no wait time. The quality of the food is impressive. Be warned, grilled shrimp are covered in powdered salt. This is a cynical ploy to get you to consume more drinks. Plenty of close parking outside and the inside was kept clean and inviting. Very few downsides. Where we sat we could hear the bell and "Order up" every 30 seconds so you know the kitchen is on their game and hustling. The bar area could use a little more hustle, they seem to be in no rush, it took a while for replacement drinks. We will return. It's another great choice in Oak Ridge for high quality food. read more

Food was excellent. We had the filet and lobster tail with sides. Steak was tender and the lobster tail so delicious! Service was great--Rose took excellent care of us and was very attentive to all our needs and requests. We highly recommend the Oak Ridge Outback. read more

Dinner this past Sunday. 5 people, all orders were amazing. Food was surprisingly fast and the service was even a cute above the meal! We will be going back and asking for Mary, if not available, we most likely will choose another restaurant. Yes, the service was that good. D. Henley read more

I always love coming to this Outback Steakhouse because of the delicious food. However, recently I ordered pick up and there were some mistakes with my order. I do not want to shine light on the mistakes but how management handled the situation. First, I called and spoke with Cody, their manager. He was so kind and considerate to the situation. Then, he was giving me options to remediate the situation and he was very patient. In the end, I went with a gift card for my next visit. I just received the gift card from them and it came with a letter of apology. I felt like they were truly sorry for the situation and made me comfortable to go back. I'll definitely be back at this location soon because of Cody Davis. He is a wonderful manager and he's what most managers should be. It would be a big loss if Outback ever was to lose him. I just made this post to basically shine light on Cody because I never been treated with such respect from other restaurants before. read more

Good lunch special and burgers tasted good. However, the fries were super salty and cheese was on my burger when I specifically said no cheese. I expect better. read more

My wife and I were just there for lunch today the restaurant was not busy we sat at the bar and ordered our lunch we waited and waited my wife finished her salad and appetizer the order steak finally showed up but was reheated in a microwave and the burger was still not ready. Next time we will reconsider before coming back! read more

My wife and I stopped in for an unplanned meal. First, the waitress was great. She was Mexican, with an accent/ slight broken English- I only point that out to help identify her. She did a great job. I ordered the filet- medium with a loaded baked potato. My wife ate my salad. We also ordered the new shrimp blossom The filet was way too salty but was cooked perfectly. I prefer my steaks slightly under medium, and this was perfect, so I ate it. Honestly probably should have asked for another steak but was afraid they wouldn't cook it as well. The baked potato- was delicious. It was cooked just right, completely done all the way through. My wife wasn't crazy about her salad. She thought it was probably bag lettuce with a waxy taste to it. Disappointed. The shrimp blossom - neither of us was crazy about this. The shrimp were not over cooked but the flavor was overpowering. Not a fan Again, excellent service, food was ok. read more

Today was our fiirst time back to this once favorite location in years. The place wasn't busy at all so we were quickly seated. Ragan was our server today and was absolutely awesome. The food was hot and fresh, service was excellent, and we left stuffed. Great trip to The Outback! read more

Not trying to be a Karen but I got take out tonight and the potato tastes like it was made two days ago. It's hard and the skin is inedible. Also they forgot the butter and sour cream. No silverware to eat with which makes it hard to eat a salad in your car. Also asked for no bacon as I'm allergic to pork and the tin foil the potato was wrapped in had bacon in it as did the cheese. Really not happy as when you pay almost $9 for a potato and salad and one of the items is inedible makes for an expensive side salad. read more

Went there for a light lunch and ordered loaded baked potato soup. Waitress was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The soup was good, but not spectacular. It was a little too salty, & I acknowledge that is a personal taste. Was very clean, quiet & pleasant. I can't wait to go back for something more substantial. read more

Always friendly service and great food and drinks been here many times and consistently this way

I really enjoy Outback for lunch. It's a great option that is reasonably priced and way better than fast food. I could come here just for the Aussie Cheese fries....soooo good. The Alice Springs chicken is always tasty and you can't go wrong with the value prices Outback sirloin. read more

I've eaten at this establishment for several years now. I think a 3 star rating is too low, but it's true that the service has good days and bad. Try the Alice Springs Quesadilla and thank me later. Hot tip: they have a great Chop steak for only $9.99 that includes two sides. It isn't on the menu. If you are on keto you can opt for cheese covered with a salad and broccoli. By the way the young man named Barak in the curbside takeaway is awesome. Great job! read more

Don't know how to describe our experience. Went there to celebrate 2 of my friends birthday. The hostess was rude and had to wait for our server and never received our appetizer. Food was not that great and never did get to celebrate my friend's birthday because they said that not all waiters or waitresses sing. But the sad part is that the hostess was going around talking about how rude our table was. I confronted her and she tried to play it off like she didn't do anything wrong.. Talked to the manager and she tried to help but she was still learning, so she went to get another manager but in the mean time the hostess was walking around talking to the other servers about how rude I was but you should not leave your area. It was not even that busy but I did do call ahead sitting. Would I go back absolutely not. read more

Exactly what you would expect from any Outback restaurant. Good service, good food, good location. Our table ordered fried mushroom appetizer that came out overcooked and mushy. We requested a replacement and it was much better. No problem returning an item that was sub par. read more

After having the worst birthday of my life, I decided to try and salvage what I could and buy myself a nice lunch. I walked in and was approached by the hostess who was wide eyed and demanded to know how I got inside. Incredulous, because I had no idea why she was behaving so strangely, I informed her I walked in through the front door. It was 11:00. She very nastily told me that the doors should have been locked. I apologized and told her I would go wait in my car. She acted very annoyed but told me she would seat me. I asked for a table and she told me "fine but you're going to have a long wait." In less than 5 minutes, my server took my order and was very pleasant, but the initial greeting kind of set the tone for the entire experience and lunch was less than enjoyable. read more

The Outback in Oak Ridge is a good place to go for a business or casual lunch. They have a good lunch menu available, and the service is typically pretty quick. If you like soup and salad, they have the unlimited as a lunch special. They have several types of salads and soups to choose from. It's a great deal! read more

I had given up on outback but they have come back! We've gone. Few times and every time it's been great! I love the chopped salad and I get extra dressing to dip my steak in :) steaks are always good- loved the steamed veggies. They have good deals on drinks too- rewards program as well! Of all the chains this one is doing the best. read more

Great food,great service,conveniently located.Family friendly.My husband and I go there often.

The food was on verge of being cold. The sweet potatoes I received were burnt and my husbands chicken sandwich the meat was dried out. My daughter in laws food was cold as well. The chicken I got was not even warm. I hate to complain to the waitress as it's not their fault but... it really was pretty bad this time our meal was around $45 for cold food and my son and his family had a meal that was close to $100 really? Come on Outback.... I've not had that food that bad in a long time. When a sweet potato comes out burnt that's pretty bad. One star because I have to leave something. read more
