Always great! Every time we go, we enjoy what we get. Our most recent visit stands out because of excellent service on top of great food. My husband got the ribeye medium rare and said it was perfect. I got the filet medium and it was fantastic. I also got veggies with it and even the veggies were delicious. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms which we had never had before ...definitely will have it again. We both also had walkabout soup which is always good. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the cheesecake I took home with me. But that was my own error ordering a cheesecake somewhere that isn't known for it. read more

This was a really good experience. Good food. Great service. Our waitress was an absolute doll. The food was prepared really well. Meat was done so perfectly and it was so juicy. Glad I went with my friend. read more

This location never really disappoints. The waitstaff is friendly, a manager always asks how things are. I stick with Outback because the food is consistently delicious. Today I ordered an 8 oz filet, classic cooked, medium. When my steak came out it was...just not what I pictured it normally looking like. It didn't have the dark crusty seared outside. It was thin. It was cooked about medium well/close to well, and probably due to this it was tough. The texture was the worst part because I get the filet for the texture. Despite the fact that it's not usually the MOST flavorful cut, it's worth the sliiiiiight loss in flavor for the tenderness. The classic seasoning & sort of crunchy seared outside completely makes up for the lack of flavor compared with other cuts. I am NOT the type of person who sends things back, however, my boyfriend confirmed my concerns by telling me that he didn't think it looked like a filet. So, when Andrew the manager came by and asked how things were, I quizzed him about what cut he thought it was. He got it right...8 oz filet. I told him I only asked because it wasn't what I was used to a filet looking/feeling/tasting like. He agreed that it wasn't ideal and insisted on getting me a new one. I told him it wasn't necessary, and if it was the filet I'd eat it despite the lack of the usual Outback perfection. Nope...Andrew wouldn't have that. He brought a new one. The new one was undercooked, but since Andrew waited to see the inside before leaving it with me, he promptly took it back to be fixed. This time it was PERFECT. It was thick like a filet should be, and was cooked exactly medium...red in the center but not bloody. The searing was precisely what I always look forward to at Outback. It was the best steak I've had in a long time. I was very happy with the way Andrew and our server Shelby made me feel like a valued guest and made me feel like it was OKAY to let them make my order perfect. I don't think I'll become one of those picky sender backer types, but it was nice to know that at this Outback location I don't ever have to settle for anything less than perfect. Between Andrew and Shelby, this location has secured me as a customer and I will be back next time I want a fantastic steak! read more

Outback has definitely recently stepped up the menu to stay competitive, and I have to say I'm impressed. This is my third visit since noticing these changes, and they are all for the better. I love the snack plates, they are delicious. Love most of the new menu items. The steak has improved, and so has the seafood. This is no longer just the home of the bloomin' onion. You should definitely check it out. At this location specifically, the service is great. We had Nicole tonight and she rocked it. Was so refreshing to get exactly what we requested from someone who is also pleasant and witty. She definitely added to our dinner experience. So much so, that I'm typing this from our table while contemplating dessert. P.S. Order the off-menu mac and cheese, which is very simple with velveeta and milk, and is freaking delicious. read more

Very disappointing. Sat on the patio, from the time of order until receiving our food it was 1 hour. Staff did not communicate apologies or offer to check on status of food either. Waitress did not refill drinks or pick up dirty dishes from the table. Twice we had to get up to go inside to ask for drinks, to-go box and our check. Menus sat on the table the whole meal. Absolutely the worst service I have had in a long time. Food was terrible as well- ordered steak salad and received small tough pieces of steak on the cheap iceberg salad mix. Will not be back. read more

I come here almost every week (on Wednesday's) and I love their $10 meal. I like the sirloin well done and the mashed potatoes. And me and my friends LOVE the bread and butter! We tell our server just keep them coming! I look forward to Wednesday's! read more

Been here two or three times over the last year. Each time has been solid. Food and Service always on spot. Great job!

Russ was our server tonight at outback steakhouse and not only was he one of the most attentive servers that I've ever had but he's also an extremely nice guy and very genuine. When I come to outback I know what I'm gonna get food wise but tonight was a lot better because of Russ. I'd give 10 stars if I could, he was also describing the cuts of steak to people who had no clue about them. Awesome to see someone who cares about where he works. A+ Sir read more

I ordered a $22 steak for lunch, to go, for my wife as a special lunch for her. I was told it came with 2 sides. Much to my dismay, they forgot to include the cream spinach. Only one side, although I paid for two. What a hassle it was to call the restaurant, wait for the manager, with a cheap offer...no free meal...for all my time and aggravation. The steak was no good, either. I had a great meal last night at Boston market, for less than half the price, also a to go order. And they didn't forget the cream spinach. Never will I go to this place again. What a RIP off!! read more

I've had dinner here about 14 times. Each meal ended with no complaints or issues. Roughly 19 minutes from order time to meal delivery is their average. My steaks have always been prepared properly. The place is clean and well run. Good parking, easy access from Cactus or Tatum. Only wish they were open for lunch! Beware, Outback has many menu items that are extremely unhealthy and thick with fat and salt. And I feel their prime rib is big disappointment. Eating a blooming onion is like eating half a tub of Crisco lard. I kind of recommend you not order the big price steaks, like prime rib or new york strip. Stick with the house cuts or the rib eye, they do these better and they are actually decent steaks. read more

We go here a lot for family dinners. Seating is prompt even when it's busy, service has always been good or great. Food is definately decent. I don't know where else you can get a lobster tail, sirloin and a potato for $15 - they really have some great menu items and specials that are very affordable. read more

Had a good dinner at Outback tonight. The chicken and shrimp pasta is really yummy and my steak was cooked perfect. One of our favorite places. read more

Love outback, it's a chain but the food is delicious. Our waiter was amazing and really helpful and always ready with refills. The food was delicious! First we got the blooming onion and it was good, as always. I got the medallions and the garlic butter was out of this world. Our waiter Russ was amazing, better believe I left a good tip! read more

First time I have tried going to Outback for lunch. It wasn't very busy and now I see why. Our server name was Sabrina, she was nice but was a complete ditz. We both ordered hamburgers with no mustard. When the order came one came with mustard. When we told the waitress that the burger had mustard on it she said maybe the other burger has mustard on it? Like she got our orders mixed up and she had a look on her face like it was our fault. Never admitted that they screwed up. So she went back and got another bun. After that she never came back, she never offered us drink refills or asked how our meals were, in fact we were the only customers on that side of the restuarant and probably her only table. She might have been new but seemed to have hardly any customer service skills or serving skills. So if you want good service I recommend not going to Outback for lunch because the service is slow, unless it was just our server who lacked skills. I don't think I will ever go back there for lunch just dinner but I hope the waiters at night are more skilled then the day servers. read more

Outback is perhaps not as good as it used to be. A friend took me to celebrate my birthday. Ordered the grilled shrimp appetizer and the prime rib french dip sandwich. Apparently they no longer have the remoulade sauce to go with the shrimp. A server valiantly tried to make it but it really just turned out to taste like thousand island dressing. The shrimp were still good, though, and there were more of them (8) than there used to be (6). The sandwich was a huge disappointment. Overpowered with the flavor of too many onions and no other flavor (like MEAT for example) to stand on. Also, was served on a sour dough bun which did not add to the flavor quotient. I informed the server, who was just as nice as could be, and he had the manager come over, and she was extremely nice as well. When I provide feedback to a manager (who the server sent over automatically; I did not ask to speak with her), it's more to help the experience for future diners; I'm not trying to get them to comp. anything and, since I was not paying, I don't know whether or not they did. I do think that next time, I might opt for the new Lone Star Steak House that's opened up across the street and see if they can do better. read more

We love Outback! Quality we count on. Good food. Great wait staff. Clean. Pumpernickel bread is sooooo good! My favorite meal is the new bacon maple salmon. Deeeeelish! read more

My experience this evening was less than stellar. We came in to use up a gift card, and I wish we hadn't! I usually avoid going here, and this experience reinforced that. We were seated right away, and given the option of a table or half booth, which was appreciated as I despise their table set up! More on that later. The hostess was friendly and engaging. Our server, Brandon, came over right away and got us settled. When asked about one of the dishes, the Teriyaki Medallions, he gave an adequate description which helped my companion make his selection. The bread smelled off to me -- kind of like a hot, wet sponge -- so I didn't eat it. My companions did not notice anything, but they are admittedly easy to please. The wait for the food was about normal -- the restaurant was neither packed nor slow, and the kitchen turned out the food in good time. When the food arrived, it looked and smelled wonderful. The broccoli and aussie fries were tasty, and my companien's entrees were cooked as ordered. Mine however, was not. We each asked for our steaks to be cooked medium well, but mine came out rare plus, at best. The center and outside were only warm -- not even approaching something that could be considered "hot" -- and bright, vivid red. I understand that mix ups and mistakes can and do happen, and while I was not offered an explaination, Brandon was kind and accomodating about the error and took the steak back to the kitchen be "cooked-up". Something must have been awry in the kitchen this evening, as both tables next to us and one in front also had food issues. During the wait, my companions finished eating, leaving an awkward end of the meal when my new steak was delivered. The manager, Megan, brought it over and apologized profusely.. For whatever reason, there was now rice with my steak which I had not previously ordered. Odd, but fine. As I finished my meal, Megan came back to our table and once again apologized, offering dessert on the house for the trouble. We declined since not only had the last half of our time there had been so awkward with only one of us eating, but I cannot eat most desserts, and certainly none that they had available. Overall, the service recovery skills the staff showed were great. When the check arrived, I was disappointed. We were charged full price for everything. I did not ask for any kind of compensation, but I hoped the gesture would be made since they seemed so dedicated to making the experience better. I will close with a note regarding the safety of the customers here: This location, as the three other Outbacks I have been to over the last ten years, is cramped. The way the tables are situated makes for some close calls with *very* hot food being precariously raised above the heads of patrons sitting at their tables. read more

Really great service & menu options - Russell is always great and we always request him when we are visiting from out of town.

Ok ok ok, we come here a lot! The biggest problem I have is the rules are always changing. If it's a holiday you cannot do call ahead sitting. Been told this several times in the past. Tonight I arrive for Mother's Day and the first thing they ask me is if I called ahead. UGH! So hour and a half wait it is. The hostess was terrific! So pleasant, helpful and informative during our wait. Fast forward through dinner. I really disliked my usual meal of coconut shrimp. Turns out the wonderful hostess was the manager. She took my meal off the bill and couldn't apologize enough. Everyone else had a great time, enjoyed their meals and seemed happy. Carnations at the door. Well done Outback well done. read more

I would put more stars but the hostess wasn't very good for example he didn't even tell us his name so I don't know what name to put. He made no eye contact, and had a bad attitude. Our waitress was inattentive, we literally waited 10 minutes just for a soda refill (we shouldn't have to ask for a soda refill they should just notice), we ended up using the electronics to help the waitress do her job. Our blooming onion was overcooked and tasted like it had been fried in bad oil, and did I mention we got no silverware and had to ask for that too because she didn't bring out silverware with it? And when we did ask the waitress for silverware and a new drink she said (with an attitude) that she was the only server (which wasn't true we saw multiple servers serving) and that she was busy. I then had to wait AGAIN for a soda. The only thing good about our experience was our entrees. I'm very disappointed, will not come back and definitely WILL NOT recommend. read more

Have been to this Outback many times. We keep coming back, but tonight I'm the victim of an experiment to see if a customer will eat, pay and tip for raw green beans. Some customers might, but this one won't. The salmon, wings and service were great, too bad the cooks and manager permit this. read more

Yesterday for a nice Birthday lunch I went to outback and was baffled by the rude service I received and questionable discrimination/racism.My fiancé and I waited 15 minutes for the server to even take our drink orders he also never introduced himself I had to get his name off the receipt (Tyler M.). Tyler M.was also not knowledgeable of the menu I ended up getting something I really didn't want because we were there already and I was hungry. The thing that bothered me the most was I watched the manager come out and greet every single table but ours. I also happened to notice we were the only minority table in the entire place. He never did make a second round to ask us how everything was. I really hope this restaurant learns to appreciate their customers more after all we do pay your bills and the world is ugly enough no more hate is needed... long story short if you want great service without a question of did this manager really just discriminate against us? try longhorn out better food better service. Will not be back Outback. Survey code-817213-900003-833210 8/23/19 1:41pm read more

Giving this place three stars is probably generous given my first experience. The wait time on a Wednesday night was not bad, less than 10 minutes. The place was not at capacity. I accompanied my parents to celebrate my dad's birthday. I ordered the crab cake dinner for 18.99 and got the chicken tortilla soup and mixed vegetables as sides. Dad's delicious sirloin appeared to be the best deal at 12.97 with one side and my mom ordered the "dry" prime rib sandwich. Here's the deal breaker. Besides me getting a tiny ice tea spoon for my tortilla soup, we had to ask the waiter for utensils after my parents got served house salads as their sides. Other wait staff just ignored our hand signals. Our waiter finally came and didn't even apologize, but blamed it on running out of them. Seriously? Give us plastic forks if you run out, but don't leave us hanging. Anyways, besides not filling our waters because apparently when you order just water, they don't treat you the same way as if you order priced beverages, the waiter anxiously wanted us to leave mid way through our meal asking "is that it for you guys or did you want to order dessert?" Sorry sir, I am still finishing my salty, over fried crab cake savoring it because of the price and not because it tastes any good. Of course, I didn't say that :). Well, it could have been worse, and we are just thankful the food was filling and service was not extremely, extremely awful. We won't be coming back anytime soon, unfortunately. read more

First and last time here. The food is great. The service is non existent. We had to get our own waters at the bar. The waitress seemes to be intoxicated or stoned. Slurred her words and had a glazed look in her eyes. read more

Great dinner our first at this outback. We had the 3 course special that they have for wed nights. From $12.95 for a starter we had blue cheese wedge salad a 6oz sirloin and there cheese cake which is so good. Despite it been a busy night service was fast and food was fresh and tasty, steak was cooked as we asked. Server was new but he was very attentive and manager introduced himself and asked us how food was which was nice . Will be back to this location as its one of the best out backs we have been to read more

I'm so angry! I came to this outback excited to have a dinner with my family, it was NOT GOOD IT WAS AWFUL! My server was amazing and that is the ONLY reason I didn't get up and just walk out. My drink took 10 mins. Our food was out fast BUT both steaks over cooked my fiancé ate his because we were hungry but I sent mine back because I couldn't eat it that well done. Came back even more over cooked the second time. Meanwhile we ordered a blooming onion that took 10 mins. The manager finally came out to us and was just so unprofessional she apologized but she didn't give two craps about any of it. She basically said sorry for tonight and ran away!! LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I am a new mom and I work full time I finally got a night out with my family and it's been totally ruined I'm so sad about this! I paid 40 dollars to watch my fiancé eat and leave upset. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!! read more

What a disappointing visit! Servers seem to have too many tables. Waited 15 min for someone to stop by. We ordered soft drinks and that took 10 more minutes. Keep in mind it's 114 in Phoenix today so we are thirsty! Lol. Finally got our order taken. Finally got our bread and there's no way it could've been made today. It was so hard, we literally sawed through it and it was old and dry. The salad came with the meal and the salad was good. Surprised, but not really, that it didn't come out first. Then comes our steaks and baked potatoes. Steak was grizzly and could only eat half. Potato was half cooked. Literally one half was too hard to eat. Server never returned so we couldn't complain, so had to live with it and only eating half of our meals. Very surprised at the quality of food here and service today. Will go out of my way to visit another location from now on. read more

Really really disappointed with this location. I had just moved back to AZ and wanted to take my dad out for a nice dinner on his last night and he loves a good steak as we're from the midwest. I ordered a burger and fries and it was good. But he ordered a steak, baked potato, and the Mac n' Cheese. He ordered his steak medium well and when he cut into the steak it was rare. To the point it was seared on the outside but practically blue in the middle. We had it sent back and they brought out the steak again and another complimentary baked potato. However, the steak wasn't cooked much more than before but at this point he was hungry and I was finishing my meal so he ate it. As he started eating the second bake potato one side was fine and the other was undercooked. How can you undercook a baked potato that bad? I paid for the bill because we were just ready to leave and the manager came out to apologize and gave us a gift card for the inconvenience which was nice. They also blamed the meat being the wrong temp on the lights in kitchen because they're different than the dining room. I don't remember our waitresses name but she was great, brunette with glasses so shout out to her! When we first arrived we also heard another customer saying they're steak temp was wrong. read more

Good solid dinner. The seasoning on the steak is awesome and I love the salted baked potatoes.

It had been a long while since we'd been to Outback so one weeknight recently craving steaks we returned. The menu has changed (evolved?) since I was last there, more choices with steaks seasonings, expanded menu offerings, etc. Frankly it was just confusing to me. I just want the old Outback steak thank you. Ordered the 8oz sirlion & shrimp w/ the famous house salad and grilled asparagus (new item) for sides. Well, the steak was pretty good and cooked as requested . The 3 little shrimp were somewhat bland and did not excite, salad was skimpy from what I recalled from the past, and the grilled asparagus was Ewwwwh. Asparagus looked like it had been waiting for my order and then reheated or regrilled. Did I mention that our waiter assured me this was a very popular item receiving many rave reviews?? - oh, and I got to pay $1 upcharge for this little vegetable gem. Tough stalks and had a smoky taste that didn't work either - I was NOT impressed. Crazy perhaps that I am ranting about a vegetable but I was really looking forward to this item and Outback really blew it. Service was mostly efficient although the waiter bordered on being hovering and too familiar. Out of my face please I am trying to eat here. Overall I have to say this was a disappointing experience. Outback is not cheap by any means. There are plenty of other better places to go for steak. Outback would do well to return to what made them famous in the first place (it's the food, stupid). Based on this experience, it will be a long while before I decide to go back to Outback. read more

Bad. Lobster tail was smaller than my fork TINES! Filet was ok, but 6oz? Doubt it. Dads filet was well done, not rare. They did cook him a new one, but he basically ate alone because my portions were so small I couldn't eat slow enough to wait for his replacement to come. Drinks and service took forever, not enough dressing on salads, had to wait again for service to get more dressing, then food came before dressing came. Go elsewhere read more

My Wife and I went to this Outback Steakhouse last night and ordered (2) of their June menu specials. Both meals were very good, as there was plenty of food for each of us. After dinner, we decided on taking a dessert home with us, so we ordered a piece of New York style Cheese Cake which comes with Rasberry Sause which was $7.25 + tax which was ok with us, but when the Cheese Cake arrived, it was so small of a slice that it was only enough for a child. What a rip-off, to pay almost eight dollars for such a small piece of Cheese Cake. When we finally returned home, I told my Wife, honey, you can have the Cheese Cake enjoy! If all of their desserts are as small as this Cheese Cake, I will never order another dessert from them ever again, what a Rip-Off. read more

This was one of the worst Outback experiences to date. The wait staff was fine. The shift manager was really annoying. He spent most of his time at 2 tables. These tables clearly housed friends and frequent diners. The guy was loud and really I don't care about the vacation he is planning or anything else. I really could have let all that go except the zoosk machine chewed up our receipt. We pushed the server button and the machine was flashing. The waitress was occupied but the shift manager walked by 3 times to go and bs with the 2 tables he was at throughout most of our dinner. I am positive he has the knowledge to print a duplicate receipt. He never once came to find out what the issue was. The meal itself was subpar as the salad was underdressed and flavorless and the baked potato was underdone. What a waste of time and money. read more
