Service was Non-Existent as we were seated by the Host our server never came to the table and we were seated next to a couple who was already eating. We moved to the bar area after telling the Host but the bartender was too busy counting his register to acknowledge us and the other waiter who I would have guessed to be our original waiter just stood around. The communication between Host/Waiter/Bartender was absolutely sub-standard so we left & went to Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers next door. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant. I dine here frequently. The 11 oz center cut sirloin is great, but so is the bloomin onion burger. The staff is friendly too. read more

Ordered dinner for "curbside pickup." Got to the restaurant and the curbside spots were not available. Finally found a place to park, but that meant I had to go into the restaurant to get my order. I specifically ordered curbside pickup because my back was hurting and standing is not my friend! Got to the to-go window and waited 15 min. and no one helped me. No place to sit and wait. Standing that long when your back is hurting feels like an eternity! I was literally in tears. I went inside and asked for the manager and told him the situation. He was a total dick! His response was "well, it's Saturday night and we're busy." No apology or empathy for a customer that was in pain! I left without our dinner and went somewhere else. I will not be back EVER! read more

i am so disappointed. i came here for my brother's birthday dinner, and when we walked in the door, it was empty and took 10 minutes to be seated. Mind you it was a Sunday evening so the fact it was empty was a very bad sign to begin with. next when they brought out our bread, there was a long black hair in it. Disgusting. Very Disappointed in this restaurant. I had high expectations for such high prices, but apparently it's not worth it. i wouldn't come again unless they change some things. The food makes up for the service though. steak cooked perfectly, except for tails left on the shrimp in a pasta dish read more

Service was good but the steak was tough to the point of impossible to chew , cooked rare like we requested but inedible brought home for the dog. Salad and baked potato were ok. read more

Seated for 10 minutes and no server ever acknowledged us. Only 5 tables, all but one appeared to be done eating. As we got up to leave she decided to acknowledge us. No thanks, there are plenty of other restaurants. read more

The best food in the immediate area, I wouldn't suggest going anywhere else. No OLIVE GARDEN OR COLD CHEESEBURGER WARM BEER. This is our favorite because staff is nice food is on point. Can't go wrong. Thank you guys for the service and being amazing we appreciate your food keeping us happily fed. Unlike the other too fly infested places right next door. OUTBACK the superior place to eat in paradise valley. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Victoria & George - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Just like others, we've been here thousands of times & never reviewed or checked in! Today we're shopping so we decided to swing into outback for some good food & HH deals since we're not that hungry. They've revamped their decor & menu a bit, they NO LONGER HAVE FOOD FOR HAPPY HOUR! This may be final HH visit? We did get the free blooming onion with a Yelp check in. Whew ! Our server was kind & friendly but sadly very inventive or overwhelmed. After recieving our blooming onion we didn't see him for about 15-20 minutes to take our order The Filet mignon (goto) "medium" was more like medium well & lacking flavor, the broccoli (usually hot & crisp) was hot & mushy. We are always impressed how they are able to serve the veggies so hot but nice n crisp to eat, not the case this time. Baked potato was great add usual. read more

Popped in to meet some friends for dinner and we had a great experience! Our waitress Shelly was on the ball and has such a great personality, the food was delicious too. Overall great experience and great food. We will definitely ask to be seated with Shelly when we are back. read more

I had never been here before so we decided we wanted a casual dinner and landed on this place. We started with the blooming onion which was spectacular! Added a side of ranch and we scarfed it down. We also did a French onion soup. Was a solid FO soup. For my main course I did the ribeye with the garlic butter and a baked potato. I even added the garlic butter to my baked potato. For the price the steak was great. Cooked perfect. Any parts that were dry I dipped in garlic butter and it was great. read more

First time I have been here in a while, the service was good but the food was terrible. I ordered the steak and shrimp, the steak was very tough heavy pepper along with the shrimp, the chaser salad dressing was not very good also as that to was very heavy pepper. Very disappointed, wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone else. read more

I haven't had Outback in years so I was really excited to order tonight. I saw the Braised Beef Bonzer-Wich on the menu and decided on it immediately. What I received was something inedible. It was so dry and and solidified that when I turned the sandwich upside down, the beef didn't move. Not one bit. This food should never have even left the restaurant; I can't believe that this even served. I gave two stars because the French onion soup was great and the manager took care of my meal. read more

This is my mother's and myself favorite Outback! Our favorite waitress Shelly. She has been there for years. No need to tell her what you need, she is on it! My Mom always get filet where I get the sirloin. Food and service always good! And their wedge is back!! Thanks again for continuing to be a great eating establishment. read more

Unfortunately we will no longer be dinning here. We are locals and would dine in at least three times a month. Menu description less than accurate for the barrel cut victoria filet mignon. "Cut" is so inconsistent. I order the same meal every time. Rarely would receive what I ordered. The steak I did receive is anything but a filet mignon. Looked identical to my husband ribeye. Cactus &' Tatum location. Save your money. Recommend Texas Road House Filet Mignon. Truly a barrel cut melt in your mouth every time. read more

Food is always great. The manager of the Cactus location is wonderful. His name is James Wawryk. Had a minor issue during one of our visits so I sent a message and he responded immediately with a phone call. My husband and I are very appreciative of his terrific customer service!! So few businesses function that way these days. read more

Our experience was amazing solely because of our waitress, Summer. She has such a positive and upbeat personality! She took care of our table beyond expectations. She definitely deserves this shout out AND hopefully her manager gives her a special treat for her outstanding service! read more

Came here last night with my son for his Birthday. For a man who dines out immediately Outback should fire the manager on duty tge evening of 1/20/25. We were sat and maybe 10 minutes later the waiter asked for a drink order. We were ready to order but he told us he would be back. Like 15 minutes later my iced tea and my son's water showed up. Then he took my order. Brought my salad. Then food came up another guy brought it out. We both had ribeye and food was excellent but could not get server to come back. I wanted steak sauce and some butter for baked potato. Only about 30 people in the restaurant but I could at times see as many as three employees chatting in my view. Even paying the bill was a horrible experience. This is 100% the managers fault. Where were they to ensure the restaurant was running well. So in their defense the national championship game was on and they were all watching. If you don't want to work then close your restaurant. I've left hundreds of reviews and rarely been more disappointed. Now you get 1 star. You posted an auto reply to my comment 11 seconds after I posted to pretend you care. I don't need to send you another message. That is what Yelp is for read more

I do not recommend them for curb side pick up at all! They allow Door Dash drivers to park in curbside pick up parking spots leaving none for curbside customers. They didn't seem to care and said we are busy and there are spots out there...no there wasn't! We were not the only ones that had to come in to get our order either...They need to fix this! read more

I had a good experience here. I got the porterhouse and it was a lot of meat. Everything tasted pretty good read more

Outback Steakhouse - Porterhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. Idk what was delivered but it was not a filet mignon. Also whatever the cut was - it was maybe 3 oz and terribly overcooked and served with aus jus?? My sweet potato was just ok. I would give this Outback less than a year to survive. Unless they get better cooks or some quality management. Yikes so bad. read more

When I walked in the door a homeless man spit on my shoe. Then I was greeted by the Outback staff which were less than pleasant. They repeatedly slapped on "accident". And Victoria was the worst of them all as she insulted me and my large forehead. The food was cold and so were the servers never going back. read more

We ordered from Uber Eats, ordered 2 Victoria filet mignons and 1 classic prime rib 16 oz cut with bake potatoes and sides. Pretty happy with the prime rib dinner but the filet mignon I ordered was disappointingly dry . I had ordered it medium the other was cooked well also. They were 6 oz cuts too which is the only size the Uber eats menu showed, so pretty small looking after they're cooked. Everything else was very good. This was at the Tatum and cactus location read more

Okay right up front I have not been to an Outback Steakhouse since college so I wasn't mad when we decided to travel back in time. I forgot about all the irritating stereotypical Australian puns from the menu and decor but I got over it. Server was really sweet and attentive. Soooooo we didn't go there to be healthy back then and we weren't going start on this visit let's stick to the classics. I guess we did make an adjustment.....back when we could eat anything we wanted we would get the blooming onion AND the cheese fries! This visit we only started with the cheese fries with its gooey deliciousness, topped with crisp bacon bits and if that wasn't unhealthy enough dip them in cold ranch dressing......amazing! ENTREE it was a grilled chicken breast topped with mushrooms, more bacon jack and cheddar cheese with a delicious mustard dressing that had a great flavor. I got a side of broccoli since I couldn't handle more potatoes (never thought I would say that!) a solid consistent restaurant always good for a splurge. read more

Customer service was amazing!! Our waiter was awesome I got a Filet Mignon & Lobster with Sweet Potato with Honey butter; cinnamon, and some Mac & Cheese & Seasoned rice. I really enjoyed my time here and we were all happy, thank you again for this awesome experience. read more

The prime rib is such a disappointment! They bring it out without searing and seasoning on the outside, resulting very plain taste! This ruined my experience and I've go to so many outbacks and this is the only one that serves the prime rib like this! Unbelievable! read more

We like this location because it's not usually that busy. Last night we decided to get our food to go., but for some reason, they thought it would be good to put all the hot food underneath and on top of the cold food. My all he tuna was warm. Our salads were warm. We've complained to them about this before stop putting cold food with hot food , please read more

This place would be 5* if it weren't for how much they charge for any add ons. Food is always yummy. The wait staff is usually friendly and on it for refills of tea. read more

Can't cook a steak ask for medium comes well done don't recommend Texas Roadhouse steak way better.

Consistently excellent Outback location. Food is high quality, service is excellent. They are so well staffed - makes for an efficient dining experience. Prices very reasonable. We especially love and appreciate the server Zach who does a great job welcoming all customers. Also Shelly and all of the staff there at this location are great!! Thank you!!! read more

I used to really like this place, but the quality has gone way down, and prices are way up. My husband and I both got ribeye steaks. They were extremely thin and the flavoring was off. It seems like a cheap, thin steak. The only redeeming thing was the mild wings- they were flavorful and so was the blue cheese dressing. We were sorely disappointed in our meal- spending almost $100 on a less-than-mediocre meal. We had come here for years, but I am unsure if I would come back due to the cost and low quality of the steaks. Very disappointing for a steak house. read more

My friend had a surgery scheduled for Monday the 29th so on Sunday 8/28/22 @ 2:40PM we decided to go for lunch to send her on her way. Very Bad Idea This is the Cactus in Paradise Valley Outback Steakhouse. I will never return. The restaurant was not busy so we were seated immediately. The waitress took our order pleasantly and then things went horribly wrong. I was delivered a 6 oz sirloin that was well done, not med well, crusty tepid old mashed potatoes that appeared to have been sitting out, & mushy broccoli unfortunately, our waitress never returned to our table so i could not request side dishes that were edible. i just left them on my plate. At the time the server dropped our order, we requested another order of the warm bread. It never showed up. Our waitress finally came back to our table to give us our bill, i explained about the side dishes and got no response! My suggestion would be try another steak franchise. read more

The best thing that I can say about Outback Steakhouse is how consistent it has remained over the years. From the "g'day" Australian hospitality to the big portions of food, Outback has never wavered from their brand. I really like this location a lot! The employees are very friendly and this one has a neighborhood feel. I know that Outback is part of a big chain, but what matters is the quality of the employees and this one gets it right! I have read some of the other Yelp reviews where people are griping about small mistakes or problems. I think people forget about all the challenges that the restaurant industry has faced over the past two years. Everyone makes mistakes and it is all about trying their hardest. On my most recent visit, I tried the Bloomin' Onion. It continues to be the best way to have onion rings. What I really like is how Outback's version seems less greasy. I wouldn't call it healthy, but it does seem like you're getting the taste without a ton of oil. The dipping sauce is also what makes it so good. I am not sure what the ingredients are but it tastes wonderful. For my steak, I had the Espresso Butter Porterhouse. Yes, coffee butter! It helped me wake up. This was a special menu item but I do hope that they will bring it back. The porterhouse was a nice cut of meat and perfectly prepared to my request of medium-rare. You don't need sauces with this kind of flavor. The mac and cheese and asparagus were also the perfect sides! I tried the Smoked Cinnamon Pecan Old Fashioned. It was good, but for my second drink, I ordered just a regular Old Fashioned which I preferred. I'm not such a big fan of seasonal cocktails, to be honest. We did not have to wait long for a table and all the food came out quite fast, even though they were busy. We only had to ask once for a refill on our water but the rest of the time everyone took great care of us. You leave feeling like you really got your money's worth. I was impressed to see how much Outback has expanded its menu. They offer a lot now for people beyond steak or with special health concerns. The atmosphere at this location is nice. It's good for any kind of occasion. #steak read more

Umm so... I do want to acknowledge that it was busy. And Gannon, the young man who sat us was awesome. But that was where the "great" stopped. 1. Our server was really frazzled and it showed up in the service. When we were seated it took 15 min for Simone to come by for our order, which then took about 25 min to get our food then the food which we shared was cold and the lobster tail looked about as big as a largish prawn, see picture... lol it was kind of dainty and cute, but also annoying. We don't go out often so when we do and it ends like this it is a disappointment. read more

A group of five of us went a few weeks ago and it was fabulous. Of course, the food was delicious, but the best part was our server, Summer. She was absolutely amazing. Not only was she incredibly efficient, her repartee with all of us was priceless. Thank you Summer and Outback for a really nice evening! read more

Server is nice. Food is yummy. Can't go wrong. Love the bloomin onion. Cold beer on weekday - can't beat it. Rebecca our server was so kind.

Easily the best Outback location in the valley. The steak was excellent for the price.

we had a wonderful experience at Outback today! Shelly greeted us with enthusiasm and kindness. she is a gem. We used to go to Outback frequently before Covid, but haven't been in quite sometime. We were excited to see the Walk about Wednesday on the website. Everything was cooked perfectly. Shelly was very friendly and attentive to her customers. we can't wait to return! read more

Great food and service thanks to Connie.Xavier,the manager came by our table and thanks us for returning to this location.Always an enjoyable dining experience. read more

The food was good however, the service was lacking. It took more than enough time before anyone acknowledged us. Even the manager didn't acknowledge us because he was too busy flirting with a couple of women at the bar and ignoring the customers. Service was slow. We might dine there again or search for an Outback restaurant in a different location. It takes only one bad experience to influence a person to go elsewhere and give them your service. read more
