Ami is one of the best waitresses ever. She was very helpful with food/menu selection. She was in general very attentive even though it was quite late. Not to mention the food was very good. Overall great experience. read more

Outback current deal right now is the Aussie three course meal $ 14.99 The first course is baked potato soup, or house or Caesar salad. Very good fresh. The second course you could choose from the Blooming burger, the coconut shrimp, or the grilled shrimp. We enjoy the coconut shrimp and the blooming burger. Both comes with fries. The third course is in New York style cheesecake. We sat at the bar area and was able to watch some sports on the TV. He gave that sports bar five except the food was more like a special celebration . Fast & friendly service. The price and the portions were very good. You were able to even take leftovers home .And all it was a really good time. read more

Who's Giving This Outback Three Stars? On paper, the Outback Steakhouse on Arden carries a modest three-star rating. In reality--if you know what you're doing--it's a five-star experience in sensible footwear. The Bloomin' Onion remains exactly what it has always been: excessive, golden, and gloriously resistant to changing times or nutritional scolding. And the sauce! Some traditions don't need improvement. Yes, the bread is smaller than you remember--roughly half the old size, as if inflation finally found the carbs--but it's still warm, still good, and still gone fast enough that nostalgia doesn't have time to harden into complaint. Tip on the ribeye: get it medium rare. It's seasoned and seared, which means the outside already has the flavor locked in and the inside should be left tender, pink, and unbothered. Ours arrived nicely marbled and properly cooked, a steak that clearly understood the assignment. What truly elevates this place, though, is the human element. Our server, Christian--who was also running the bar--was beyond outstanding. Attentive without hovering, helpful without scripts, and genuinely kind. At one point, he sat with a woman dining alone in the next booth, just to keep her company. No performance, no audience--just decency. That kind of service doesn't show up neatly in star averages, but it counts. So yes, online it may read as a three-star Outback. But order wisely, understand what the kitchen does well, and get someone like Christian holding the room together, and it's an easy five. Not fine dining--but good food, done right, with actual humanity. read more

I've been eating at the outback here on Howe Avenue in Sacramento for over 20 years. I just had the 9 ounce steak filet mignon with lobster and everything turned out perfect. Look at the picture I ordered the filet mignon medium rare, and it came out exactly the way it should be tender, juicy, and medium rare. I recommend this place as it is a local to go place for steak, so please visit and eat here when you get a chance. read more

Had a good time dining here. The service was better than our last visit. For appetizers, there's complimentary bread with butter. We also ordered chicken wings and fried mozzarella sticks. As always, I got my favorite baby back ribs with a side of mashed potatoes and potato with bacon soup. My toddler had the toowoomba with broccoli and asparagus as sides. My husband got the filet mignon and lobster tail and enjoyed it more than his order last time. The food was good and satisfying. I just didn't like that we were seated across the window with the sun directly on our faces. read more

3.5 stars Solid food with some more than decent service. Enjoyed the huge portions and steak cooked just how I asked. My fiancee enjoyed her Alice springs chicken. Dinner made for a good date night. Restaurant was less than half full but it was still nice to see an old classic chain restaurant such as Outback open and doing well on a Friday night. read more

My best friend was in town; with his sister from out of state, and looking for somewhere quick where we could grab a bite to eat. The only catch is it had to be Keto friendly. We both enjoy Outback and remarked how it had been a while, so we headed out. They have a pretty nice size parking lot in the back, there was hardly no wait and we made it in time for their weekday lunch specials which end at 4. Our waitress Ami was absolutely wonderful, she would check in on us, answer our questions and make great recommendations. This location was doing a charity, where by ordering an alcoholic beverage they would donate a dollar towards a charity that dealt with assisting staff during financial hardships. All of our food came out fresh, hot and correct! We of course split a blooming onion, the batter on these is so amazing and would love for the staff to post a video on how they cut it like this lol. We in addition split some wings, omg they got a little kick but this dry rub is phenomenal and I will be back just for the wings! My lunch special included a tri-tip sandwich and one side, I opted for the garden salad. But the additional options are broccoli, rice, or fries. My friend got the steak, couldn't get a photo of that as he devoured it lol. His sister got the ribs but did mention the sauce has a little spice to it which caught her off guard, we didn't mind it. We loved our experience and will for sure be back again on another lunch outing! read more

came in for the 3-course starting at $14.99. being in California i just knew it wasn't going to start at that price, and i was definitely right!!! i believe start was $17.99? --- upgrading to the half rack entrees is $27.49 --- upgrading to 6oz sirloin is $22.49. the soup starters were good i recommend the chili and the caesar salad. upgrade the dessert to the brownie and ice cream. that was worth it. read more

The restaurant was well lit and open seating. The staff is always friendly and helpful, sweet as pie. The food I can't say that I have ever complained coming to this location; I can be honest steaks sometimes are a little under cooked for me but I'm very particular about my food so don't mind me. But it's nothing that has ever had me sending my food back or asking for a refund. read more

Came in for a light lunch and was greeted by Christian. What a genuinely nice young man. We were seated and offered beverages. We were offered a taste (beer) before locking in our choice. The atmosphere was clean and noise free. TV's were playing various sports. We opted for coconut shrimp, mushrooms and a wedge salad which Christian offered to half for us to share. What a delightful experience. We will return to take advantage of the heartier meals offered. Thank you Outback !!! read more

I'm really torn on this review. We went in for my grandmas 82nd birthday. There were 4 adults. I want to start off with the good. Our Server Riley was amazing. She was attentive without hovering and was super nice and conversational with the old ladies lol. She made the visit worth it. The food started off very strong, the appetizers were 10/10. We had the Bloomin Onion and the mozzarella boomerangs. Delish! The soups were good as well. That however is where the good food ended. The pecan and blue cheese salad was made with a very old iceberg lettuce mix not appetizing, it could have been so much better. The wedge salad was ok. The chicken sandwich was good but lacked flavor. The nail in the coffin was the steak and shrimp pasta. Two of us ordered it. The sauce was completely flavorless and bland. We had to ask for parm and load with salt and pepper to make it edible. Considering this is a steakhouse I was expecting a spot on piece of meat. This was not it. This was by far the worst piece of meat I have ever eaten anywhere. I hate saying that but it was so bad. The taste was like some sort of gamey death. The texture was like mush but somehow still stringy. I'm not sure what was going on with this meat. I would think maybe a fluke but it was the same in both plates. No one ate the meat after one bite. Super disappointing, especially for the price. Would we go back? For appetizers and the service, for sure, but we wouldn't go back for dinner. read more

Some food was cold and all was way overpriced. Why are chains nowadays neither good nor cheap? Worst Outback and definitely worst steak experience I've had. I got a steak sandwich that came with au just. It was good and hot, but cost $26! Mac and cheese was cold and didn't taste fresh. read more

We went there for a birthday dinner. Walked in at 5pm on a weekday and practically no one there. Taken to our table and noticed garbage on the floor underneath (crayons, scraps of paper, dirt and old used napkins). Ordered our drinks an appetizer, told the waitress what entrees we wanted and asked her to put that order in a few minutes after we got our appetizer. We finished our appetizer and were waiting for our salads. The waitress eventually came back and looked puzzled. We asked where the rest of our meal was and she realized she forgot to put in the order after 25 minutes of our sitting there waiting. We cancelled the rest of the meal. For two soda's one ice tea and a cheesy fries was $32.00. No comp for the mistake. This location has really dropped its standards and the new cliental looked like they were carnies from the circus. Avoid this place read more

I appreciate the consistently good service and quality of food at Outback Steakhouse's. This outlet is no exception, very good service and food. Jason the bartender was especially good. Ambiance is always welcoming too. read more

The food is exactly what you would think of for a chain restaurant. 3.5/5 I ordered the sirloin and ribs. I was surprised that my sirloin was actually cooked right. The sirloin was a little tough but still tasted good. Ribs was a little lackluster. I ordered a side of bloom petals and it was sad. The onions were partially breaded. The blooming burger was moist and tasty but very heavy. Staff was very nice and made sure we received updates on the wait times of our meal. read more

Had dinner here for the first time and quite a while. The service was great and the food was really good. We ordered the Blooming Shrimp for our appetizer. For dinner, we had the Ribeye, a sirloin and mashed potatoes, and the Kingsland Pasta with Steak and Shrimp, and a Caesar Salad. And, two cheesecakes for dessert. Our server was awesome and accommodating. Really enjoyed our meal. read more

We haven't eaten at outback in a while but my daughter wanted to go there. I went with my 2 daughters. We ordered blooming onion when order our drinks, but unfortunately, the blooming onion was sitting on the counter which the server didn't get it and was given to us later. We got the Caesar salad before we got the blooming onion. We also order the prime rib sandwich, Steak and shrimp and baked sweet potato, steak and Alice springs chicken with broccoli, carrot cake and a drink. read more

Decided to give this place a try again, and it's still very disappointing. I ordered 2 of the 3 course meal, with a steak. Both steaks came out wrong.. and they were very fatty piece's of steak.

Came back to Outback steakhouse to celebrate my Mother in law's birthday on a Sunday afternoon. There was 11 of us and we got seated in about 5 minutes. Ordered the Blooming Onion and Blooming Shrimp. Both were delicious! This time I ordered the steakhouse salad. It was sooo good! There were large pieces of sirloin and the mixed greens was fresh, sweet onions and tomatoes and I absolutely love those Aussie crunch. Definitely one of the best salads I've had in a chain restaurant. We also had such a great server, I believe his name was Damian. He was very attentive, always checking back on us and refilled all the waters without being asked. Service was top notch! Once again, Outback delivers! read more

From a DoorDash Driver aka Dasher Perspective, they need to do a better job at responding to DoorDash orders or communicate better on how they would like Dashers to pick up the order. Last night, the DoorDash App told me to wait in my car by the pick-up Door. So, I waited in my car by the pick-up Door, waited 15 minutes, and tried calling for the order but got no response. I finally got out of my car, walked in, asked for the order, and they gave me the order. read more

Hostess needs to take a class and needs to drop attitude. I called in advance about getting seated outside to be courteous to the other customers. They asked what time I would be coming, I said 6P-6:30P ( we have a month old newborn) didn't want him disturbing their dinner. read more

Updating my review - Again -- a solid 5, would be a 10 if it were an option. Last reviewed this location in July of 2023. We returned to this location yesterday for lunch. I have to say I was just as impressed with this visit as I was the last time we visited. A true bonus for us is that we had the same server, Antoinette. The same server a few years later? Wow that says a lot for the management here! Everything about our lunch was absolutely perfect! I ordered the exact same thing I ordered at another location about a month ago but with a completely different experience. We were offered hot fresh bread as soon as we were seated. The baked potato soup was very good and served hot ,as it should be. The salad was fresh and very good. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and served piping hot. When I asked about the types of lettuce in the salad, she actually knew, (the server at the other location has no idea). Our server was attentive, offering refills on drinks and checking in on us during our visit. Antoinette brings a smiling face and is a true asset to this Outback Steakhouse. read more

I wish I had taken pictures, but I didn't. I was completely caught up in caregiving, which I love, though it can definitely be a lot, especially when taking an elderly family member out to eat. We went during the week for lunch at Outback Steakhouse on Howe Avenue, and I wanted to share how wonderful our experience was. Our server, Antoinette, was incredible. She was kind, hardworking, compassionate, and very efficient. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly energy that instantly made us feel welcome. She was patient and helpful as we decided what to order, since it had been a while since our last visit. I considered trying something new but ended up going with my usual, the Outback Center Cut Sirloin. It's consistently good. I paired it with the house salad (no raw red onions) that included romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded cheese, and delicious croutons, along with a fully loaded baked potato topped with sour cream, butter, cheese, and green onions. We also started with a loaf of warm honey wheat bread and soft whipped butter, which disappeared almost instantly. Now, about my grandmother. Technically, she's not my biological grandma, but we'll call her Grandma for the sake of this review. She shared with Antoinette that she had some recent dental issues and was concerned about ordering something too tough to chew. I had tried helping her earlier, but anyone with elderly loved ones knows they can be a little particular. Thankfully, Antoinette picked up on everything quickly and offered thoughtful, gentle guidance. She knelt down to Grandma's level, made eye contact, and spoke clearly and kindly. She suggested the potato soup without the crunchy bacon bits and recommended the mac and cheese for its softness. For dessert, she pointed her toward the chocolate-drizzled cheesecake, knowing it would be perfect. Chocolate is Grandma's weakness, and she loved it. Antoinette made sure Grandma was comfortable, happy, and had everything she needed. Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my meal, which isn't always entirely possible when taking an elderly person out. She was personable, attentive, and took exceptional care of us! The experience was so special that Grandma has not stopped talking about Antoinette since. She tells everyone about her new friend at Outback on Howe and how her smile and energy lit up the whole place. She is not wrong. Antoinette, thank you for your kindness, patience, and for going above and beyond to care for us. We will absolutely be back. Also, it had been a while since I visited an Outback, and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior looked more updated and less like a cheesy Australian-themed spot. The menu has expanded, and the food was solid. Some of my family members have said the quality has gone downhill, but I would disagree. If my only complaint is that the tomatoes in the salad are now halved instead of whole, which they have been doing for years, and in my opinion, then that's a pretty minor complaint. Great food, an even better server, and a genuinely enjoyable visit. Excellent customer service is priceless. Thank you for helping me enjoy a meal out and for making my grandmother feel like a queen. read more

Five stars for sure! Service was fast and reliable at all times. Overall Wonderful meal! So yummy and a comfortable, chill environment.
