We went out as a group to Outback Steakhouse in Sacramento. It was early evening about 6:00. The restaurant was doing pretty brisk business when we walked in. Got a table for 5 right away. We did not order appetizers and just got into the dinner menu. My friend's prime rib was cooked to a perfect med rare and he did devour the entire slab. A full stack of ribs were shared between two diners and devoured. Someone had a salmon salad with a huge piece of fish. I had a small Caesar's salad with a French onion soup as my dinner. The salad was just OK, but the French onion soup was a little disappointing. The cheese was not browned and bubbly like I would prefer. All in all the meal was enjoyable and we would probably return again. read more

I visited Outback Steakhouse in Sacramento, CA [1340 Howe Ave] on Wednesday, 09/09/26, around 12:00 PM. Upon arriving, I noticed that the parking lot was located all the way in the back of the restaurant. It's a bit of a walk to the main entrance. As I approached the host desk, I was greeted by Jose, who also happened to become my server for the entire dining experience. Jose was kind and pleasant. However, he was juggling so many tables on his own. I had to request certain items from the food runner as needed. The attentiveness was lacking and the service just didn't meet expectations. For lunch, I ordered the following: - Unlimited Soup & Salad ($10.99 + $2.99 add-on) - Kingsland Pasta with Shrimp & Steak with extra Alfredo Sauce ($32.98) I primarily got refills for the Tasmanian Chili and House Side Salad. Both dishes were so tasty, especially the palatable chili. I was also served the complimentary honey-wheat bushman bread, which was also enjoyably delicious with the whipped, silky butter. Given that the soup, salad, and bread were quickly filling me up, I packed the Kingsland Pasta to-go for dinner. Thankfully, I asked for extra sauce since it was ideal for reheating purposes at home. Lastly, I ordered two of the Aussie Take Home meals. One plate included the Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie, Seasoned Rice, and BBQ Sauce ($10). Another plate featured the 9-oz Center-Cut Sirloin, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Chimichurri Sauce ($15). These great bowls were shared with my family members at home for dinner. They noted that their food was on point, too. Since I signed up to become a member of the Dine Rewards, I received a $10 discount. This offer was applied to my overall bill. In total, everything came out to $67.38. Even though the service was hit-or-miss, the food met expectations and the price points were fair. I'd totally come back to this Outback Steakhouse location, especially for the Unlimited Soup & Salad deal during lunchtime. read more

Sometimes you're in the mood for a really tough, chewy piece of ribeye that's overcooked, sometimes you want to throw in a few pieces of hammered asparagus. If that's the case... Outback Steakhouse has got you covered. I know it's a chain, but I can remember when it was a place to get a halfway decent meal while on a business trip, now it's just serving up corporate trash. You're dead to me, Outback you have lost a customer for life. read more

Place looks ok lome a typical steakhouse. It has been some time Ive return to Outback and now I know why!! My buddy invited me for lunch yesterday to Outback Howe Ave. We both ordered burgers, now I dont know how they managed to screw up a burgers but they did!! Both under cooked we asked if it would be possible to cook a bit more because they were both under cooked. The server returns with our burgers and still not cook to order, now a steakhouse screwing up a burger i could only imagine if it were a steak NOW I REMEMBER WHY ITS BEEN SO SO LONG I'D HADN'T RETURNED TO AN OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE!!! I GIVE THE CHEFS A GREAT BIG "ZERO" ABSOLUTELY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER read more

I hadn't been here in years and we came to eat after a movie. I am not sure why I haven't eat here more...the food and service were both great! We had the fried mushrooms, wedge salad, steak and shrimp pasta,and a steak sandwich. Every single entree was fantastic! And our server was attentive and kind. We will be coming back soon! 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

Hubby wanted a Bloomin' Onion for Father's Day so off we went to Outback. I was pleasantly surprised given how full the restaurant was, we were able to be seated within minutes. for Esha and Grace took excellent took great care of us. To our disappointment, the Bloomin' Onion was a miss. It was overcooked, too salty, and the coating would not remain on the onion, so we were not able to enjoy it. For dinner we ordered the steak Delmonico with loaded baked potato and side salad. Generous portion, definitely shareable (took me three days to finish my dinner lol). We order the chocolate and carrot cakes to take home for dinner. Chocolate cake took me four-five days to finish. Hubby demolished the carrot cake and shout out to the baker. My husband grew up with a mom who made carrot cakes..literally grated the carrots, scratch made frosting, all the things. For the first time my husband said, "This is the best restaurant carrot cake I've ever had, I should have ordered two pieces." 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

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

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

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 dinner here with two of my friends- it's your typical chain restaurant vibe inside but we had the absolute best time. The service everything was amazing! Our server Reece? I believe is his name was great, had great recommendations. The manager Trent, absolutely made our evening. We struggle in the Sacramento area with customer service and food consistency but we had the best time at Outback. I love me a chain restaurant. Thank you for your great hospitality! read more

Our go-to restaurant when the wife craves lobster. She had 2 steamed lobster tails she describes as "heaven on earth". As always, they were fantastic. I usually have a hearty steak, but today I chose the ribs. OMG! The meat fell off the bone and just melted in my mouth. Best ever! Our server, Miabella, was attentive and very accommodating. We use to complain about how cold it was inside, but the last few times we've been here, we're convinced they finally found the thermostat, making it comfortable and not as cold as in the past. THANKS! 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

That burger was TERRIBLE. Absolutely vulgar, service was nice, ambiance...wouldn't say it's great? Kinda looks abandoned in a way but cute. But oh my god, that burger tasted like absolute DOGSHIT GARGBAGE. 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

I didn't expect too much, because in recent times, chain restaurants (and most restaurants in general) have declined in quality and service. Many times at restaurants these days, the food is good but service poor or vice versa. Or some items tasty and others not. However, everything was great. The side salad that came with the meal was tasty, and I liked that it actually had things on it. These days, people call a "side salad" a bowl of lettuce and croutons, with maybe 1 extra thing. But Outback has lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, cheese, croutons. The cocktail I got was lavender lemonade and it had vodka. It was perfect and not too sweet. The Blooming Onions I have had in the past were too salty, but we asked our server about this and he told us that they have been listening to feedback and not putting extra salt in it. It was perfect. All steaks and potatoes were also done to our liking. Service was great and you could tell that everyone in the restaurant was doing their job and happy about it. I eat out a lot and again, was surprised in a good way. I get tired of paying a lot for garbage, but this was 100 bucks for 2 steak dinners, sides, an appetizer, 1 cocktail and lemonade. Good price. I am in town taking care of my mom, who likes a good steak dinner. I will take her again prior to going back home. 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

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

Slow but polite service, food was ok Lots of new servers at this location Difficult to get in with old people with walkers a long way from the handicap parking spots On other side of the building! Portions are pretty good size 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

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.

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

My family and I went to your restaurant today to celebrate a friends marriage, this is where they wanted to go for a mini private reception. Our group was fifteen people, we got there at four and we weren't served until an hour and twenty minutes later. A friend and I ordered prime rib medium rare, when the prime rib came out it was hard to cut, dry, and far from medium rare, so they took it back and we decided to get the Dominico rib eye, we said medium rare and it can out almost rare, we politely informed the manager and she asked if we wanted it placed back on the grill, we did not. The only other thing she did was remove a fried mushroom appetizer for my family and the blooming onion appetizer for the other couple. Our waitress was amazing and friendly that was about the only thing good about our experience. Outback has always been my favorite restaurant, my husband even proposed to me at outback twenty two years ago, but after the experience I had today, I'm left feeling sick from a steak that was not cooked right and service from a manager that fell short. I do not think we will be back. read more

Amazing service! Everyone employee had wonderful customer service and greeted us by saying happy Sunday :) Our server , Will, was very sweet and attentive.

Food was prepared very quickly and delicious. read more

I have always had a good heart and have always been understanding. this is the first time in my entire lifetime that I have felt that i got ROBBED. The food just tasted so mid so mediocre ESPECIALLY when taking into account the price. i had $50 worth in gift card and another gift card for the free fried onion thing (which is normally $12), and guess what... I HAD TO PAY LIKE $60 OUT OF POCKET for my date and I even with all of these gift cards!!! absolute insanity!!!! Like i said before, the food tasted like they sprinkled some salt on it and called it a day. i cook a better ribeye at home for crying out loud!!! NEVER NEVER go to this place, im never coming back. please PLEASE i beg yall GO TO TEXAS ROADHOUSE its infinitely better in taste and cheaper! read more

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

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

We were disappointed with the food. We understand about the negative reviews. We had the blooming onion and the bottom seemed not completely cooked. I had the prime rib and it was not very tender. My friend ordered the New York and what came out was a rib eye. We will not be going back. read more
