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

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

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

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

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

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

We have been to two Outbacks in the last ten years. It's wasn't because the food was bad; it was just that the experience wasn't anything special. We tried the Happy Hour once up at Mayo Boulevard location and left underwhelmed. Recently however we received two gift cards and decided to give them another try. Outback has always reminded me of a slightly more upscale Sizzler, mainly because prices are so low. Last night the three of us started off with Spinach Artichoke Dip for $7.99, Blooming Onions for $7.29 and the Coconut Shrimp for $7.99. All these were pretty good, though the star was the Coconut Shrimp. It was served with an orange marmalade/stone mustard sauce which was interesting, but we had to ask for some cocktail sauce in the end. The Blooming Onions on the other hand are still way too greasy for me and clearly they need to rethink this offering. For our meal, we tried to order the Pork Chops. But strangely, they had run out (?) this, so we had to substituted for the 1/2 order of Baby Back Ribs ($13.49). They were very good and had a nice smoky taste. We also ordered the Filet with Shrimp for $15.99. We ordered it medium rare and it came out with a pink center and very tender. But as Yelp'er Jody K pointed out in her review -- the shrimp were tiny and way too salty, with some sort of Cajun/blacken seasoning just dropped on top. Our last dinner item was actually their Short Ribs Nacho appetizer for $6.99. It had a nice taste and must be considered an incredible value. So our tab came to $74.60, including a diet soft drink, a nice Château St Michelle Riesling, and one of their special Black Sangria. This also included a discount of 50% off one entree that we found on-line as we waited for our drinks to arrive. LOL read more

My fiance had a gift card to Outback, so we decided to use it for a date night! I don't usually gravitate towards chains, but we gave this a shot! It just so happened that we went on "No Worries Wednesday" AND arrived before 7 PM, just in time for Happy Hour! On No Worries Wednesdays, they have a variety of 3-course menu items for $12.99, $16.99, and $19.99. I ordered the house salad (I LOVE their ranch!), a 6oz Outback Sirloin w/ a loaded baked potato and a mason jar of strawberry shortcake for dessert! ALL of this food was only $12.99!! The steak was super juicy, tender, and spiced to perfection. My fiance got their firecracker salmon and all of the same sides that I got, for $16.99. It was topped with mango salsa that he said was delicious! On top of the great food, I HAVE to comment on our service. Katie was one of the best servers that I have had in months. She described everything perfectly, was super passionate about her job, and even brought us extra ranch just because we said that we loved their ranch (we didn't even ask for it!). She timed our food perfectly and made the experience a great one. In addition, the manager stopped by our table to ensure that everything was going well. It was such a nice touch! I overheard other servers and they seemed just as great! Major props to the managing team here for training their employees to be world class! All in all, I would definitely come back. It was a super easy date night and the food was delicious, with an unbeatable price. The restaurant was also packed on a Wednesday night so you know that they are doing something right! Thank you Outback!! read more

This is our go to location when we are craving a good steak for a good price point! The staff is always really friendly and the place is kept clean every time. We usually get the no butter version of the steak and the veggies, since they offer that here, and it cuts a ton of calories from the meal and still tastes awesome with the seasonings they offer! The brown bread they bring out in the beginning of the meal is always tasty and served up warm. The ambiance here is nice, and the booths around the bar area are pretty private if you want a date night out, see if you can be seated there. Overall: A Food is always prepared nicely, they offer healthy choices with great flavor, and staff is friendly! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Outback special and broccoli. - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Now I don't hand out 5 star reviews to many establishments.....and I didn't think I would ever give one to a place like Outback Steakhouse.....but it was a divine experience I had there last evening. I took the wife there for dinner because I received a 25 dollar gift card from my employer....so I decided what the heck. There are so many great restaurants located within walking distance of where we live that we have not visited....well now I can take this one off of my list. We went for an early dinner around 5:30pm or so and Tiffany....who was just simply wonderful....was our hostess. If your ever visit this establishment don't hesitate to ask for her....she is very knowledgeable and so very friendly and attentive to all of your needs. So I was pretty hungry and since I have not been to the Outback in years I didn't know what I really wanted. Back in the day I would have ordered the steak with the blooming onion....but since I don't eat red meat now steak was out of the question. Right now they are featuring a Red White and Bloomin menu and 5% of the proceeds go to the soldiers overseas....so I had to order something off of this menu to support them. I had the Chicken and avocado Flatbread which was simply delicious and can be quite filling enough if you don't have a real appetite. I followed that with some New England Clam chowder which was well seasoned.....and I have to tell you I was shocked they were serving it.....because most restaurants only serve it on Friday's, so the fact they had it on a Saturday...was a pleasant surprise. I then had the Chicken and swiss burger....which was ummmm....ummmmm.....ummmmmm....good. I mean that chicken breast was juicy....... smoked..... and fire grilled to perfection people....wohooo!!!! I then finished off my meal with a stack of waffles with the strawberries....almond cream....and almond shavings sprinkled on top.....DELICIOUS....and this coming from someone who doesn't like nuts of any kind. Now let me mention again I ordered only the Flatbread dish and the Waffle desert off of the Red, White, and Bloomin menu....but they do have more on it....and I encourage you all that visit to PLEASE show some love to our soldiers risking, fighting and dying to protect our nation by ordering at least one item off this special menu that by the way has only been out for 3 days now. My experience at this Outback was truly eye opening I will definitely return and I hope all you visit very soon as well. So until we meet again Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends. 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

When you want steak but you're on a quarter pounder budget, Outback works. Known for the Bloomin' Onion (which I have never seen two people finish it, so unless you have 3+ in your party), we prefer the Bacon Cheese Fries for an appetizer. Their prime rib is actually quite decent! Beautifully marbled, seasoned well, and medium rare was still available in the evening! Splurge on the upgrade for the French Onion Soup, warms your heart and soul! As for dessert. I can't tell you what's good. Never had enough room for dessert. They use to have Sydney Sinful Sundae that was a ball of vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted coconut, chocolate drizzle and strawberries, but that is long gone. I sure miss it! 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.

We were craving a nice dinner so we went back to the Outhouse Steakhouse that we have been to several times in the past and we have never been disappointed. This time was the best we have had, the prime rib was cooked to perfection. It was just so tender and had so much flavor and the soup and sweet potato was delicious. The server (Linsey) was so friendly and has great customer service skills. A great experience all the way around. I don't write many reviews but I wanted to share the awesome experience we had. read more

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

We love this location because of the consistent high level of food quality and fast/friendly service.

Horrible service, every table around us was asking for the manager. Never brought our salads. We asked to get them to go and they forgot one. Overpriced for the quality. Run away. read more

I've been to this location a few times and always walk away happy. the atmosphere is homey and the food has been great! Rebecca has been my server mostly and her service is the best! friendly, helpful super fast and welcoming ! read more

Could be worse, could be better. I've always gotten friendly service here so that's a plus. I usually go between the NY strip and the Victoria filet. It's always enjoyable but never memorable. You get to chose two sides and I usually opt for mashed potatoes and a caeser salad. You get a good amount of food but I always leave feeling like the price wasn't totally worth it. Believe me, I know it's a chain steakhouse and I don't expect gourmet meals, but if given a choice I would probably go elsewhere. It's reliable, I will give it that. You always know what to expect. And I've never had a trainwreck experience (or hair in my food!) read more

So the smell when you immediately enter is gross and then the sewer smell in the restrooms is disgusting. And there is an odor from the ice in drinks from the bar. The whole place stinks like a nasty dive bar. But the food was actually decent and cooked well and our server was very nice. And even though the place was almost empty it did take a long time to get everything. Needless to say we will not be back. read more

Came back to Phoenix for a visit and could not pass up the great food and super friendly servers.

Past visits, the food has always been middle of the road. Want a steak and don't want to cook or pay the Earth? Go to Outback. Not anymore. The current cook is terrible, and whoever is managing the back of the house- they're asleep. 4 items ordered, and they destroyed 3. The only thing that came out well were the fries. So... They can handle a fryer. Broccoli was totally plain yet tasted like clams. Steak was hard on the outside, tough on the inside, and barely seasoned. Baked potato--that was an abomination. Literally the worst Baked potato I've had in 55 years on this Earth. Should I describe it? Let's just say that it probably needed to hit the trashcan 2 days before it hit my plate. Soggy, wet, skin. Hard on the inside. Now, y may ask, why didn't I complain? Low blood sugar and a long long wait for the food. I had to EAT IT. Very very very not happy. Do yourself a favor. Go home and cook your own or pay a bit more. Outback is over. read more

Ordered a 13 oz ribeye and got 9 ounces of well done flank steak. Remake was good but the service felt rushed on a very slow Tuesday night. This spot is on the decline. read more

We tried cactus location on two different occasions, both times got treaded like second class citizens, ask for sugar, please for a tea drink. (Never did get it) ask for a second loaf of bread, had to ask twice , it came at end of our meal. Steak was tough, chicken on barbie was a joke, dry overcooked, only good think was the bread when we got it. First time accepted it, left a tip, second time , eat what we could, left with paying the bill and a goodbye. Outback on freeway by metro center was awesome, however they closed down. I have $75.00 gift card ? What should I try next, just a order of fries, can't mess that up, can we ? S.B. unsatisfied customer This is NOT ok read more

We ate here last week. Had a delicious steak, a perfectly cooked baked potato and a nice crisp salad. Nicole S. Was our server. A delightful and friendly girl with a beautiful smile. Will define at there again. read more

Over priced. Over rated. Not competitive enough. Restaurant was too cold inside. Seasoning was excessive with too much salt. Good service and location but very disappointed in food. This location is a Franchise, which should tell you something. read more

For those of you who thought they had to get out of their car and walk into the restaurant, that's not how this works. Just let the servers do their jobs. You people just defeat the purpose of keeping you safe, even if you are wearing a mask. Just have a little patience, because of you, it takes longer to help everyone. To the staff, thank you for staying open in these uncertain times. We went Saturday and they were staying busy. They were fast and friendly as usual. The wings were fantastic! (That's all we got) Make sure to thank the server for staying the course, they deserve it! read more

We came here for lunch. Very clean place. The fish tacos were superb. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable. We would definitely come Back again. Would highly recommend this place for some great food! read more

We had pretty much given up on Outback after multiple poor experiences at our local restaurant in Kapolei, Hawaii. However, we decided to try the one in Paradise Valley - and were pleasantly surprised. The take away area is staffed by someone who comes outside and looks for the car which has been described. FABULOUS. Our order was delivered PROMPTLY at the time promised. You don't say! The young lady was friendly, helpful and even put the order in the back seat of our car for us. HEAR HEAR! So, why only four stars? They forgot our garlic mashed potatoes. Ok, well, everybody makes mistakes. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food at a decent price. Buddy and I sat at the bar and ordered an adult beverage and dinner. Steak and lobster with a free blooming onion. Very good choice but, I would have paid a little more and had the regular lobster and not the Kristen lobster. Over all, pretty good deal for us for dinner. The bar tender was very friendly and worked hard for everyone sitting at the bar... read more

The taste! Excellent! In 20 years in Arizona It is the first time I really enjoyed the taste of the steak.

Jimmy was awesome. His manager? She was also amazing. Anniversary celebration was a sensation here. Normally don't have bad meals here, but this manager runs a great business. Tonight was exceptional. Food even seemed to taste better for some reason. They took care of us for our celebration. read more

The blooming onion was raw, the ceaser salad was underwhelming, the steak made up for it a bit. Overall not a wonderful experience at this outback. Will not be returning. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak & sweet potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

They offer what would look like a feature and benefit to the consumer but actually ends up being a frustration. When you don't see your server for 20-30 mins you can use the table kiosk to reorder drinks. This only delays the server cause she or he has no clue you ordered it and never stops at the bar area to pick up the purchased drink. If they're under staffed or had someone call in sick I would prefer them say so over just ignoring the customers for 20 plus mins..... Maybe i should apply myself in life and afford maestros ! read more
