The food was delicious as always. We had a large group and we all got our food at the same time and it was all as ordered. Our waiter was friendly and kept the drinks full and replenished when needed. Love this restaurant at this location. read more

This was a tough one, as I was close to leaving due to not being served and ignored for at least 12 minutes. I was going to give the Outback one star, but the service (finally) by Jeremy and the Coconut Prawns were excellent. The bar, which was full, did not have the focus or adequate coverage IF the Outback Steakhouse is truly wanting to continue to build their sales. I could not find a Happy Hour menu, but Jeremy located one and gave it to me. The food came out very quick and the prawns are huge. Perfectly breaded and cooked. Jeremy was terrific. I did ask him if he also had the dining room and he stated he was helping someone out. That explained why the service was initially so poor and lacking. I noticed a Manager was delivering most of the food to the bar customers. So my visit was just okay. The food and Jeremy was terrific, but the greeting took too long. read more

I have eaten at Outback several times, and it's hit or miss, depending on what you order, the time of the day and other factors I don't know about. I've had their burger, and it's decent. This time I took a chance and ordered one of the most expensive options on the menu--an 8 oz. filet mignon and lobster tail with a loaded potato and salad. I didn't have high hopes, but the end result was a severe disappointment. The lobster was overcooked--easy to do--and small, and all the butter in the world couldn't save it. The filet was completely without character, just an exercise in chewing for 5 minutes. No taste at all, just something to grind my teeth through. The potato was a bomb of grease. $50. Never again. Back to burgers. Learned my lesson. read more

My family goes to outback at least once a month, normally , as our one night out a month that we eat out. Our experience is normally very enjoyable. We would rate our previous experiences at five stars every single time. Unfortunately , this time , our waitress acted like she wanted us just to get out from the very start. She did not introduce herself, she did not ask if we wanted bread when she walked away after getting our drink orders, also did not ask if we wanted any appetizers. When she finally brought our drinks she had gotten mine wrong it then took almost 10mins to correct. When she brought out my 2nd drink she brought out bread, took our order and walked away. It 15mins before the apps came out, the Bloomin Onion was not cut correctly nor was it cooked correctly. It took another 15 mins to get a salad another 15 to get the entrees, another 5 to get a soup, which should of been out with the salad and we were given attitude when we asked about it. Vanessa our waitress checked on the 3 parties around us regularly but acted as if we were not there, not once were we asked if we needed anything more, or if the food was OK but the moment we asked for our check and some boxes she moved like we were her only table til we handed her our card to pay the bill. read more

Went here Christmas Eve by myself. Tiffany was amazing and so sweet. The food was excellent and despite being a party of one on a super busy night, I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome at all. Made my night. read more

Service was wonderful. Location seemed a bit run down. Food was mediocre. Nothing stood out as unique and delicious. My grilled shrimp was good. Husband liked his steak. Maybe I should have ordered something different? read more

Honestly a solid 3.5 - did not have too high of expectations of this being a chain restaurant but we had a nice dining experience here on a Friday late afternoon for an early dinner with a group of 4. The restaurant was not busy at all so we were greeted and seated right away in a booth. Our server Hollie was friendly and attentive and checked in on us and kept us refilled on bread, butter, and water. You truly can't go to Outback without getting the Blooming Onion so of course we got that as our appetizer. It came out hot and crispy with the special sauce but the outside parts were slightly burnt. The three-course meal for $18.99 is where it's at! You get appetizer (soup or salad), an entree with one side (steak and others are slightly higher in price), and a slice of the NY-style cheesecake. I got the garden salad and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sammie with Aussie fries to share with my toddler, and cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Our friends got the potato soup, new breaded shrimp with mashed potatoes, and the cheesecake with chocolate sauce to share between them. It was a good amount of food and we even had leftovers after. The chicken sandwich was juicy in between the flurry brioche bun but the Aussie fries were way too salty while the mashed potatoes lacked salt. You really can't go wrong with cheesecake and I was too full and took it home to enjoy later. Yes, there are better places to eat BUT if you are craving a Blooming Onion or want to get a great deal on food, definitely consider coming here. Just make sure to set your expectations and you'll have yourself a yummy meal! read more

Just tried outback for the first time. Can't believe I've never had it before!!! Food was AMAZING!! 10/10. Service was just ok, my server seeming tired and like he just wanted to go home but who hasn't been there before lol. Will definitely go back again cuz I'm officially OBSESSED! read more

We did go back a few times in between, but our dietary needs have shifted and we can no longer easily handle a whole steak and loaded potato. We made the mistake of ordering two different variations on the fettucine, and that was a mistake. I forgot the cardinal rule of steakhouse: Never go to a steakhouse and order pasta. It's just not their thing. Service was great, and environment comfortable. Friendly staff. There is on spot in the restaurant that evidently everyone is required to call "corner" before approaching; must be a frequent collision zone. It's not that much spendier now than it already was. Just skip the pasta. I would literally have been better off with just a single baked potato. read more

Been here numerous times and the food is fine. However. We have always brought our puppy and sat him on the patio, staying often until closing. Tonight, we went there and were told the patio was closed after 8 for "safety reasons"????? The patio lights were open and they never did this before, so we drove all the way over her for nothing, no accommodation. This place lost our business since they basically wasted our time. The service has always sucked at this location too. read more

Employee Hollie- excellent customer service Food--Excellent Atmosphere--Family friendly Great experience today, the food, onolicious. Portion size, spot on. Had the grill salmon, steak and shrimp. Everything was fantastic. Thank you for your excellent hospitality. I strongly recommend this restaurant for your dining needs. Aloha and Mahalo read more

Couldn't go out but was really wanting a steak. Ordered it and it was delivered. Perfectly cooked filet along with broccoli, a large salad, and a small loaf of pumpernickel bread with butter. Couldn't ask for better read more

After heading out to lunch and another restaurant not being open I realized I was close to the Outback so I gave it another try. Consistently good 2x in a row so I'll definitely head back again soon to enjoy happy hour and try a few of their new items they have listed. Service was good and attentive things were timed perfectly again. I can say that is a huge pet peeve of mine when the appetizers come out with the meal or even afterwards but this place has it timed well! We love the onion petals to start and after a salad I'm usually stuffed after just a few bites of the entree. Bonus I get to have a really yummy lunch the next day. read more

Our Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner experience so all family members could get together: Family of 5, and spent over 200.00 and this is what we experienced. Without exaggeration, most of the food, including the steaks/lobster were just above room temp (lukewarm). Expecting nice & hot with some amount of steam like at home, but this was not the case. This included the main entree's and baked potatoes, no noticeable heat. The only thing hot was the French Onion Soup. 50 bucks for 13oz Ribeye / Lobster: The meat was very chewy and tough, with lots of gristle and loads of fat in just about every bite. Low quality meat? The rest of the family agreed that our food must of been sitting for a long period of time before it was served. Lobster was so small, 3 maybe 4 small bites, it was gone. The thinly padded cheap foam booth seats are very hard and uncomfortable. May as well been sitting on hardwood. As for booth seating, there was not enough room to cut your steaks without elbowing those sitting next to you. Very cramped for 5 adults. Although our family was actively happy, quietly talkative, and having a wonderful time with ordered cocktails before dinner was served, the Waiter himself seemed somewhat distant and impersonal. The appetizer plates weren't even cleared when our entries arrived. Over 15 min's wait before receiving check. Still left a 20 dollar cash tip. All together, I would not recommend Outback Steakhouse to anyone. Only to let them know how very disappointing, and find a better alternative with better reviews. read more

Decent enough food. HUGE portions!!! Very fair price point!!! Always clean and friendly staff!

Been here twice was looking forward to try for my first time and was highly disappointed. First time I got seated with no menu and waited over 20 minutes for a server to finally notice us food took a while to be served everything was overly salted second time food was again overly salted bad slow service never got any refills food took forever to be ready all in a 10 month span nothing improved wouldn't recommend especially since it's also pricey not a good first impression and don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon read more

Well. I was hoping for a good steak. Our go-to in Tillamook has closed. So we thought we'd try Outback. The place wasn't busy, so we were seated immediately in the bar. It took longer than expected for the waiter to serve us but once he realized we were there he was quite attentive. $7 drinks during happy hour. Strong and delicious! The blooming onion was a disappointment though since it seemed overcooked. Since this is a signature item we were SO let down. How do you not know how to cook a signature item? My steak was charred, had very little flavor but it was cooked correctly. My husband's blooming burger looked delicious and he said it was ok. "Just a burger." The high points were the sode salad served with my meal, the drink, and the oh so delicious carrot cake! Those three things alone....3 stars. Such a bummer. read more

Dropped in on a Saturday night at 4 PM, got seated right away. The server was kind of stale but maybe he was having a tough night. Three kids got the Mac n cheese. Super bland and wasn't great. The skillet Mac and cheese we remembered was much better. They also got rid of my favorite salad, chopped pecan blue cheese. Steak was medium rare and cooked perfectly. Husband got the wedge salad that came with a teeny steak. Not worth $17! Overall, a good solid choice for steak. But the portions I feel are smaller everytime we go and the prices keep read more

The steak was not cooked right. The shrimp was overseasoned. Did not get the bread we requested. Definitely not worth the price.

The service is amazing my server was super nice I recommend it too everyone. Food is also very tasty .

I was a little disappointed with the steakhouse salad I ordered. It looked so good on their menu, but it's different from what I got. One star for their pork chops, my daughter liked it. One star for the free bread, it's really yummy. read more

Service was good. The food preparation is always good. A big restaurant that isn't noisy.

i didn't come with high expectations, but i was disappointed by their sides. the mashed potato was like puree and the sweet potato was way overcooked. both tasted like mush. the sirloin was flavorful and cooked perfectly. the house salad was drenched in dressing--i recommend asking for that on the side. they were busy and service was slow, but our waiter was kind. the bloomin onion could've used more batter since the first layer barely had any. the ahi tuna was good. overall, ok experience! read more

The steak was yummy, but definitely steak priced! Their margaritas are very well priced and delicious. Unfortunately not a lot of gluten free appetizers choices. Would go again! read more

Good atmosphere and staff. Though mixed reviews on food quality. Not always cooked or prepared the way requested. So -1 Prices were already on the high side, but they increased them more and reduced portion sizes on the things that count. So -1 read more

Came here for my wife's birthday last night. Had the whole family with us. They are handling covid well - clean, space and masks... We had 2 appetizers, the blooming onion and the wings. Personally thevwings here are about my favorite anywhere. Perfect level of heat and flavor. The onion is always good but usually oily from being deep fried. Tasty though. Steaks are good. I get the rib eye most of the time. Last night I got the Alice Spring Chicken as I didn't feel like beef. Absolutely amazing! It is a grilled chicken breast with sauted onions mushrooms and bacon with cheese melted over it. Served with a honey mustard sauce. So good! Comes with 2 sides. I had mashed potatoes and a Ceasar Salad. Great meal. My wifevloved her filet. I don't remember any complaints from our table. All good! They gave my wife a brownie sundae for desert which was amazing and a perfect complement. Great job! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Forgot to take food pics! Great dinner! - Steakhouses Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Filet mignon gets 5 stars, but I will always despise Outback's bread so it always gets zero in my book. Lol. The food was really good & usually I skip on the blooming onion as it usually tastes way too salty but my husband requested it & I had some. Let me tell you, they got it down at this location. We didn't have much of it leftover to take home! Minus one star as it wasn't terribly busy & the service was very friendly but a little too slow, especially since we went for an early dinner and the place wasn't anywhere near packed. read more

Outback Steakhouse - realism update - Steakhouses Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We recently went and had dinner at Outback (after many many years) and it was a great experience. Our server was Holly and she was GREAT! As a parent with a child with food allergies, it can be difficult going out to restaurant's. Many places we go, servers are not confident in whether things are safe for our child to eat and don't initiative to go to the kitchen/chef and find out. They pretty much just tell you to check online. I always look online before going, but getting confirmation at the restaurant is a must. Holly was great. She knew if the items we were going to get were safe or not. She asked if we wanted her to bring bread as it was not allergen friendly. She checked on us just the right amount. She has great service and personality. My only complaint is that the tables in the area we were in were so close you could barely get through. read more

This place does not disappoint!!!! Went again and everything awesome. This place is good if you're going on a date or you're gonna take your wife or spouse out for romantic dinner. Kid friendly like I stated and very accommodating for people with sensitive stomachs. Remember before you order the appetizers, ask for their never-ending free bread with butter. I don't know what the heck that bread is but it's super delicious. read more

Maybe they should shrink down their locations and only sell blooming onions. Our visit a couple days ago convinced to not go back. My steak was overly salted, and tough. It was cooked properly. The bread was not fresh, nor did our waiter ask if we'd like more. I just wanted the option to say no. My wife ate some veggies and decided to take her steak home. She asked for it medium well. The picture I attached is how it looked after she put it in the convection for 15 minutes(rare) Our waiter was a robot, zero energy, zero personality and never asked about our food once it was delivered. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Poorly undercooked steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Steak was normal, I ordered a medium rare and I got a medium but for $20 I think that's okay. The service was about a 30 minute wait the inside was nice though, they had a lot of decorations. The sides were random vegetables and mashed potato's pretty basic nothing fancy. read more

Outback Steakhouse is great value for what you get. The food is always delicious and cooked perfectly. I love their bread as it is so soft and delicious. I ordered the fully dressed Aussie Fries as an app and it was absolutely delicious. I also got the ribeye cooked medium rare with a side of mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The potatoes were a little watery and underwhelming but the Mac and cheese was really good. My steak was pretty salty but I recall their steak being over seasoned every time I go. It might just be how they season their meat. However, it was cooked to the perfect temperature. Overall, extremely solid choice and a great place to eat with excellent service! read more

I ordered the Outback burger w the house pickles. Sooo disappointed, between the sauce and the home made pickles it ruined the burger. I think the pickles were bread n butter pickles but they just threw the whole Burger off. It was the first time I didn't order the salmon I like Outback salmon that's always a win-win. read more

The shrimp started tasted like grease that hasn't been changed in forever plus they were burnt, burger was also burnt. Salad was the best thing and the bread, they sent us a gift card cuz my husband called and complained about the food, we came back to spend the gift cards and maybe they knew it was us again cuz the waitress kept giving us dirty looks, and this time everything we ordered was salty! read more

The $38 Filet Mingon was terrible! It was tough, like leather. I ordered it medium, "Pink in middle". It was well done. Definitely not juicy. Very dry. Thin. Last visit 1 years ago was terrible too. I was given a gift card for Outback. Otherwise, I'd never have gone again there. Salad was good. 1 star. I've never gotten such a small baked potato in a restaurant. read more

Food was just okay. Service was friendly and attentive. We ate in the bar area which was casual and comfortable.

I went to Outback (SW Barnes) and I haven't been to an Outback in a long time, since it was good and in another state. I had a problem with the hostess and seating. As we were trying to find a suitable seat the hostess called us annoying and had a very bad attitude. "Meangirl" I decided to report this to the manager. The "manager" looked at me in a daze and dumb look and ignored the whole situation. Things started to get weird I wanted to leave but my partner was hungry, so then requested for the General Manager, Holly. She did apologize and used a lame excuse that they are young. I don't really see that this is acceptable. If they're too young to work around adults, they shouldn't be working in that position. Keep them in the back of the house. To top it all off they burnt my steak and the Meangirls stared us down as we were leaving. That caused a problem resulting in getting ask to leave as we were leaving anyway. This hostess created a bad situation for herself and others by being a rude and untrained. read more
