It has been several months since I have visited outback steakhouse. My visit this time was a mid week treat for a stressful day. Service was outstanding, friendly and attentive without being overbearing and suffocating. The recommended wine paired well with my meal and really hit the spot. From the Caesar salad to the fillet and lobster tail and loaded baked potato it was simply delicious. Great food, wonderful service, decent price for value received. It won't take me as long to come back as it did this time. If you're looking for a wonderful steak, great service don't forget outback. read more

Good was great Much smaller than old location Service was ok Slow at 1230 lunch Music was TOO loud We asked if it could be turned down and server said, " I don't have control of that but I agree it's so loud I can barely hear y'all" Then it needs to be lowered Steak was great no doubt read more

ambiance: felt like chili's. casual dining. Did not feel like a steakhouse at all The doorway to the restrooms was shared by staff going to the kitchen and since we were seated by them we saw numerous near misses as they came in and out of that portal. We asked for boosters as our toddlers are petite - they wanted to sit us at a half chair half bench table. so if sit them over there - how do we help them eat reaching over the table is a little far so i had to ask if we could sit at the open booth...she did not look pleased but obliged. We all ordered a cheeseburger/fries - and my fav their caesar salad - everything tasted off. . It's been a few years since we've been to outback (babies ) but man... the buns weren't the same 0 they were shiny and different. the meat tasted like it had been seasoned with chicken bouillon ...and had a very salty brothy flavor. I ate half bc i paid for it but honestly I'd never order that again. the caesar salad also tasted off... just nothing id rush to order again. They lost the tuna appetizer. the entree salads, queensland salad. etc. I mean, it was like visiting an old friend and just couldn't remember why we were friends in the first place. Even the restrooms didnt have the same Yardley soap I'd always loved... or the thick almost fabric like hand towels had been replaced with boring cardboard like single paper towels. It was so sad. Sadly, i had to face the facts, I wanted to visit a place that no longer exists. read more

Food was fine, service was ok. Bathroom stall had a roll of toilet paper sitting on top of the dispenser for everyone to handle, and a roll of wet paper towels between the two sinks to dry your hands on because they were apparently out of paper towels. If this is supposed to be a nice restaurant and we are paying nice restaurant prices, this is unacceptable. read more

Was super excited to come here for lunch after receiving a gift card for Christmas. We arrive and the hostess seats us immediately. It's a little busy for lunch and we see that there is only one server working so we wait patiently. Five minutes go by and no acknowledgement from anyone, which is unfortunate but whatever we keep waiting. I make eyes contact with the server a few times hoping he'll come over and maybe say "I'll be with yall in a few moments", but nope, nothing. We start to get a bit frustrated but again they're busy with not a lot of workers so it's fine. Well, it was fine until the hostess sits a new party and the server IMMEDIATELY walks over to their table to greet them and take their order. Frustrated and hangry we just got up and left to go somewhere else. I understand places get busy but not getting ANY acknowledgment from any one of the staff was very frustrating and has turned me off from going back and giving them another shot. read more

Service was excellent. Prices weren't bad for lunch. The Alice Springs chicken was moist and flavorful, though over seasoned in a couple bites. The baked potato was a trifle overcooked but tasted fine. read more

Do not order takeout from this location. Apparently they have no idea how to put a to go order together. Received my delivery with no main meal or salad. Was simply the cheese fries I ordered. I basically paid over $10 for just delivery and tip for soggy fries. When I called they're basically like...oops. Sorry. This is not hard people. Put the food on the ticket in the bag! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!!!!!! read more

This is how backstakhouse I mean, come on, it should be quick, but it took like forty five minutes for us to even get our food out. The lady that was giving us waitress.I barely even checked on us.We actually had to get another server, which he was doing in an amazing standout job three times saying, hey, where is our waitress at. But it's outback's steakhouse, so you know, the ambiance just like australia. Only reason why i'm giving it a two star is because of the gentleman that was working.So hard at busing tables at taking orders helping other tables out.What looked like everybody else was kind of just there. read more

Back in the day, Outback was loicated in the antique mall in Round Rock and was not open for lunch. They recently moved north a bit so I thought we would try lunch at the new location where Mimi's Restaurant used to be. up by the outlet mall. The restaurant was extensively remodeled and was actually quite modern and attractive. Not my father's dated Outback! I had a small center cut sirloin steak with a baked potato . It was perfectly grilled to medium rare and the potato was great. Only $13.99! My buddy had a burger and fries and thought it was very good. The service was great. We will be back! read more

The food here isn't bad-- the steak was a little bit saltier than their usual but I could live with that. What I can't live with is having a 30 minute wait for a table when 2/3 of the restaurant is empty. This means that on a Sunday, during the lunch hour, management did not staff the restaurant and there are not enough servers or cooks. There are folks sitting outside en masse waiting for a table for families of 6, and half a dozen more waiting for a two top. Sadly, they're turning away customers. read more

It took 20 minutes for the hostess to let us sit down at the empty table. Then another 30 minutes to get our drinks. I was ready to leave since the service was so bad. But my husband insisted that we stay. The food was terrible, it took almost an hour to get our steaks. The steaks were horrible. We had to send them back. And they were still terrible after they brought out new steaks. The manager was supposed to come by, but never showed up. Wasted money on crappie meat. The worst service ever. read more

I love the French Onion Soup from Outback but I was quite disappointed today. I ordered a bowl to go. Typically they will wrap the bread and cheese in a separate foil from the bowl of soup so that when you're ready you can rewarm it, add the bread/cheese and enjoy. This also helps to avoid an overly mushy soup; however, that is exactly what I received today. The soup was almost non-existent because the bread soaked it all up and it was just a bowl of mush. Like I said, I do love their soup but unfortunately they missed the mark on this visit. read more

From the first contact with Eva the host who was friendly and happy, to Kristi the server who was kind and helpful, to Ray the manager who you can tell really cares about this place- the dining experience for my girls and I was awesome. The garlic steak was tender and absolutely delicious, the kids chicken tenders are kid approved, and the Queensland pasta is a huge serving of really tasty pasta. We have always liked outback but the staff at this location really bumped this up to a restaurant we will be returning to when we eat out next. Thanks again Eva and Kristi and Ray for such a positive experience for our children. read more

Service was fast. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was delicious. There were 9 of us and our server was a pro. Sorry I can't remember his name now. I will be back with family. read more

This is a new location from the Outback we visited years ago and wow what a difference for the better! Brighter and cleaner inside. Staff were all friendly and provided excellent service. Salad was crisp and cold, free bread with butter was warm and soft, baked potato cooked to perfection. My husband said steak was better quality than he remembered and I like the many options of shrimp and chicken. Now this is not Double Cut level but price shows reflects this. We will definitely return! Glad to have this restaurant revived and in our community. read more

Short and sweet complaint. Why do restaurants allow mopping the dining area with the same mop they use in the kitchen? You can skate on the floors at this restaurant. Food was fine. It's Outback, you get what you came for :) read more

Incredibly friendly service. Will was an exceptional waiter and the food came out fast and the steaks were exactly how I ordered it. Brightly lit and a beautiful new spot. Everyone we had an interaction with was friendly, helpful, and really made the visit an A+++ dinner. read more

I haven't been to Outback Steakhouse in years. Our food was delicious, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Zoey seated us at our table with friendly conversation. Our waitress, Kennedy, did a fantastic job serving us! Thank you! Tonight made me want to return again where other experiences at different Outback locations were not positive. Keep up the great work!! read more

This has been one of our go-to spots since they opened. The service is really good, but Cooper was especially amazing! He was our server tonight and went out of his way to make my grandmother's birthday special. The steaks are always cooked just how we order them, and come out tasting amazing! The blooming onion is always delicious too! read more

We have been anxiously waiting for this to open since we live nearby. I have to say, I was so impressed with service and food. I haven't been to an outback in years because I wasn't a fan of the other location in Round Rock. We went at lunch time. We had so much bread & butter offered to us we even took some home. Food was hot and cooked to order. Service was beyond exceptional. Everyone was was pulling the weight of each other and that was what caught me off guard. Floor manager was checking all the tables. I highly recommend this location. I was eager to leave a much deserved tip in hopes they pool the tips. We will definitely be back as often as we can. read more

I'm a giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars for a few reasons. First we got our side salads out first and upon finishing them the waitress left them on our table in the way the entire time. We would have asked to have them taken away but we only saw her one more time after our food arrived until our bill came. Second the food (except salads) was fairly spicy. Third my Wife's veggies were undercooked and still fairly hard. Overall an average experience that wouldn't make us want to run back to Outback quickly. read more

I wish I could give it negative stars. Spent over one hundred dollars on two meals the sirloin steak and shrimp and the 34 dollar 15 oz ribeye and baked potato and broccoli. I can't get the broccoli chewed up enough to swallow. The steak is tough like I'm chewing on a work boot and the potato was raw. The service was terrible. I sat with an empty glass of tea for over 30 minutes and finally told the waitress to just make our order to go. Never again will I ever eat at Outback steak house read more

Blooming onion is always a must! It's exactly what you think, fried onion with a zesty dipping sauce. It's huge and delicious, however you can only eat so much! It's huge! Wish there was a half order option or a mini blooming onion. This location recently opened and is fully staffed. Attentive staff ! The food was okay. It met expectations of a Outback. The cheeseburger was okay, kids food was okay, French onion soup and baked potato okay. The free bread was warm and a hit. We will come back to try steaks as it's more known for. read more

It was a pretty chill night but still steadily busy. We'd been sat down for over 5 minutes without a peep from the wait staff caring for others...like I said, steady. I made eye contact with a server, she instantly came over. I said, "I'm thirsty and hungry, no one has stopped by. Can you help?" She smiled so big, "I sure can!" She produced 2 drink napkins and whipped out her pad & pen. We knew what we wanted and she submitted it immediately. I'm moments we had our drinks, along with a carafe to match. With the explanation of: I'm in another area so these are in case I can't get to you fast enough. Our salads came, delish and exactly as ordered. The rib eye and fully loaded baked potato were PERFECT! Mary, our server, was a veteran pro!!! It was like having a caring mom take care of us! I cannot recommend this place enough. The manager came am talked with us. Great folks! Things happen and they exceeded any expectations! Thanks yall! read more

Awesome experience! We live right down the road so we've seen this location throughout its build and have been excited to have it so close. You never know what you're going to get when you visit within the first day or two, but this experience was perfect. Staff was very well trained from the door greeting to the ordering to the quality of the food. Our waiter (Cooper, legitimately from Australia haha) was super friendly and very attentive. You could tell he was new (as everyone was, obviously) but he made the experience perfect for our entire family. My wife ordered a margarita flight (boomerita, served on a boomerang) which she loved, and a steak which was cooked exactly as requested. I simply had the grilled chicken sandwich which was perfect as well. Due to its proximity and the great experience, absolutely no question we will return frequently! read more

I'm always skeptical about ordering food t9 go. Thanks for making this a great experience as if we were there in your establishment. Food was fresh and the temperature was good as well. read more

Our experience was excellent due mostly to our server, Jared. He truly made the experience. Friendly, attentive, and helpful since we hadn't been to Outback in a while. My husband had the coconut shrimp meal which was wonderful. I had fried mushrooms which were the best I've had in many other restaurants, crispy and flavorful. It was such a generous helping I took most of them home. I also had the beef and barley soup which was a bit spicier than I like but still very tasty. The restaurant was clean, not too noisy, and everyone was smiling and kind. read more

When this new one opened steaks and salad were GREAT. I have been a couple of time since and the salad looks like in an iceberg head I am getting all the white hard part. I used to love their salad. And the last time I went which was last Tuesday, my daughter and I had to send our steaks back because they were rare and we wanted medium and medium well. But when they came back they were hard and burned. I was so disappointed because I LOVE me some Outback. read more

Management was very friendly and interacted with our kids. Service is prompt and accurate. Zero complaints here and it's not easy finding a place with good food AND friendly service. Thanks for making us feel valued. read more

I had not been for awhile and someone gave us a gift card for Xmas. I like the new location because it much closer and a better part of town. It took a while to order drinks but they did deliver. We asked for sweet and low and lemons with out teas. We didn't ask once, twice but three times before we got them. We were told they were out of Prime Rib. How do you run out of prime rib on a Monday night at 5:30pm? The food came out super slow. The appetitizer, blooming onion, was very greasy. It was about 30 minutes before the salads arrived and the meal came soon after. We really didn't have time to finish our salads. Overall the meal was ok but not great. I did try the cajun steak topping which was very good but my steak seemed to need seasoning. My wife's steak was much better than mine. All and all an ok visit but doubt we will be back. If I had paid for the meal I might have be upset, it is what it is. For the prices there are much better steak restaurants. FYI my neice who is Australian, hates when someone says "shrimp on the barbe", they just don't say that! Please family no Outback gift cards! read more

We tried the new Outback location for Father's Day. It wasn't overly crowded and only waited about 20 min for a table. After we sat down, the waiter came and greeted us within a few minutes. I really like the new, lighter decor design in the dining room. Pretty cool light fixtures too. Good so far. My husband ordered a drink and I ordered a club soda with lime. A few minutes later, a bus boy brings us 2 styrofoam cups with lids - the kind they bring to kids filled with water. I was a bit confused and asked why we could not have regular glasses. "oh, we are out of them and they are washing them now", he said. What ...???? BUT.. when my husband's drink from bar came out, it was in a glass. So I guess the bar had glasses??? So I just asked for a Pelligrino instead so I could get a real glass. SO stupid. Ok I'm over it now but then the waiter comes back to take our order. I asked for the 12oz prime rib - medium. Oh - sorry we are out of prime rib! On Father's day - really? I could get a rib eye instead. So I settled for the grilled rib eye. Same cut of meat but definitely not the same taste. I asked for medium, and a baked potato with just sour cream and chives only. I can't do butter. We waited 35-40 minutes for our meal to come. My rib eye was a piece of charcoal. Besides being well done, it was completely inedible with inordinate amount of salt/seasonings on it. On top of that, my baked potato had butter and chives - no sour cream. Geesh - I'm batting a thousand here! So I sent both back and reiterated - rib eye, medium and very light salt/pepper and correct potato. Thankfully, my husband's steak and lobster was decent except for the greasy broccolli with bacon and tons of seasoning, again. So he ate while I watched for next 15 min till my new rib eye came out overflowing the very small dinner plate with a "salted" baked potato next to it. The rib eye was done to medium so I was looking forward to digging in - finally. Rib eyes are a fattier piece of beef but this one was more than half fat. I guess the chef didn't think I deserved a decent cut of rib eye after sending the other back. When I managed to get to the meat part, it was again overseasoned and quite inedible. I gave up, left it on my plate and just ate the inside of the baked potato for dinner. To his credit, the manager did come over and apologize for the meal and when we went to pay, he had removed the rib eye from our bill. I appreciated that since it was inedible and I had left it all on the plate uneaten. The folks next to us told us that Outback has a special blend of seasoning they put on their steaks and we should always order "no seasonings on steaks" because they are usually pretty heavy handed with it. I think we will stick to Longhorn Steak house from now on. read more

Good visit, pleasantly surprised. Steak was good quality, like they had about ten years ago. Minimal grizzle, cooked to order, thick and flavorful. Sides were happily substituted to be brocolli and fresh garden salad with quality, thick dressing. Bread and onion petals were perfect, service was excellent and prompt. Big, happy crowd, worthy of another visit next time in town. Thanks for your great service Kennedy! read more

Oh my gosh! What is going on at the Outback in Round Rock? I placed a pick up order through the app at 1:13 today for a pickup time of 2:15. I arrived a few minutes early. When I had not received my order by 2:30, I went inside the front to check on it. The hostess said they were backed up and it would be about 15 minutes. After 20 more minutes of waiting, at 2:50 I called the restaurant from my car to speak to the manager. He said he would check on my order and get it out to me. Finally, after waiting more than 40 min he brought it out at 2:57. NO APOLOGY whatsoever for the long wait! My husband ordered his steak Medium and I added a special instruction for the other steak to be Medium Well. Both steaks were way overdone, burned on both sides. How can a steak restaurant not cook steaks correctly??? Very, very disappointed with the entire experience. read more

Drinks came within 5 minutes and asked if we wanted drinks right away.The person that gave us our drinks stepped on my foot a little bit.Took an extra 10 15 minutes for the margarita to get here and refills came right away.17:20 for the appetizers.It is very nice clean and they are very helpful in here too.We had too wait 15minutes for a table and there were 5-6 tables open but I wish there was 6-7.We waited around 13 minutes for a table.39:14 minutes waiting for our food such an embarrassment.The food was still good and awsome though so yeah. read more

Went today for lunch and had a perfect experience! Jayden was our server and she was very knowledgeable with the menu, and welcoming! Our drinks, apps and food came out perfectly timed and it was hot and fresh. We were so happy to find an Outback in this area! We will be back and highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you to all the staff for making this a great experience! read more

The new location in Round Rock is open, the atmosphere was upbeat but still relaxing, the food was served hot and to specifications, and the service was warm and welcoming. Special shout-outs to the manager Dante for his excellence, and to two terrific servers we've met who both have great personalities: Jared and Breeana. Thanks everyone. read more

Eh. Why is the floor slippery? Almost fell like 6 times just trying to walk to the bathroom..

The service was very nice but I ordered prime rib medium and it came out raw when I ordered and I sent it back and asked for the proper temperature and I was asked if they wanted me to just put it on the grill and I said well no prime rib is slow cooked so I don't want to be difficult but I would like a proper medium prime rib and it was after 12:00 and they brought me the next cut out and it was Raw as can be and so I paid for it so even on a second try they gave me raw meat where's the quality control. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Very easy to order on the app. Food is really good. Service was great drive up text them you are there and they will bring you the order.

I believe her name was Kayley, what a treasure. Fantastic server and I told the manager she should be a trainer. Made the meal so pleasant and fun. She has a lot of energy and very professional at the same time. read more
