Nydia S.

Visiting and wanted to go to a steakhouse that was kid friendly, we went in and were seated right away. Our server was a bit busy, we had to wait on drink refills, waited about 15 minutes for him to take our order and he became more attentive once the check was given. Food itself was mid, warm, and not cooked all the way through on one side of the salmon I ordered. However, the steak my husband ordered he said was good- no complaints. Overall, not bad but most likely won't be back or recommend.

Steak kebabs with shrimp and pasta
Claudy C.

I came here with my son for dinner. This location was on point. The server was kind and attentive. Host welcoming. They sat us right away. The place was clean. I ordered steak kebabs and shrimp pasta. I was skeptical about the pasta but it was really delicious. My son ordered ribeye medium rare. They cooked it to perfection. The Mac and cheese it came with was really good. My son said one the best he had in a steak house. Keep up the good work. We will be back.

I had a late dentist appointment nearby in Clairemont, so i looked for a place to have dinner near the dental office. I used to work in the area, and I remembered the Outback Steakhouse was there, so I gave it a try. Parking was easy and convenient, as there is a parking lot surrounding the entire building in which the Outback Steakhouse is located. There are two handicapped parking places on one of the sides of the restaurant. I was surprised at how gracious and welcoming was the staff of the restaurant. For example, the hostess saw me coming through the double glass door entrance, and she immediately came over in assisting me with the heavy doors. That was a nice touch. The servers and managers were also very warm and smiling. There is a bar area in the center of the room, and then the dining areas fan out from that space.

A Clairemont Square staple for many years. This fair-to-middling steakhouse sits squat in the middle of the Square, like a slightly red-glowing beacon in the San Diego dusk. All jokey commentary aside--it's not bad, not at all. The best? Not that either, but let's get into the meat of this review already, no pun intended. For the price, Outback Steakhouse is pretty solid. The filet mignon, baked potato, chicken sandwich, and cheeseburger are all pretty solid here! You gotta love the complimentary rye bread and butter, too. The flavor and cook on everything is consistent, and definitely a slight notch above average. That said, this is a franchise chain and obviously they aren't pumping out the top-tier level of steak that you might find at a place like Cowboy Star or Freddy's Chophouse. But it's good for the price, like I said. The service is also consistently really good here. The wait staff and bartenders are all very friendly, welcoming, and show just the right amount of attention--helpful without being overbearing. If you're looking for a quick, good, decently priced meat-forward meal, Outback Steakhouse might be a good option for you.

Sharks!
Steph L.

Large parking lot. They are located right in the middle of the clairemont town square area near Krispy Kreme. Construction in the area is rough with lots of streets closed and lights out. Service was 5 stars. Staff was amazing and friendly. Went here to get their shark drinks! I always missed it due to the limited time they have these. This time, have an alcoholic $14 and non alcoholic Sharkey temple $6.49 version. I was able to bring my kiddo for them to enjoy their own drink! It was fun dunking the grenadine sharks into the drinks. The alcoholic one was a tad bitter. Food: got the blooming onion $12.49. Pretty pricey now. They brought a cute table riser for it like they do with pizza. Taste was okay. Not as good as I remembered it. Warning: do NOT let your kid even touch the iPad on the table. Just touching the games section on it caused us to be charged $3 for table games which was infuriating. It wouldn't even let you play the game on it as it tried to get you to download an app to play a game...but still charged us $3! Lesson learned and we will never ever let anyone touch those things on tables ever again.

Great neighborhood spot where everybody knows your name. By everybody I mean the wonderful service staff. Nancy, Ian, Dylan, Chris and Kyle are so hard working and very personable. While I come here often and enjoy the food I would have to say it's the staff that keeps me coming back. As of recently, I have had the pleasure to meet the young man at the host stand, Aiden. He is always so nice and attentive and great with the customers and you can tell he cares about his job. This staff gives Service With A Smile a whole new meaning.

Nice bar service from front row!

I miss this OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE in Clairemont Mesa of San Diego! I moved to Temecula Valley and there was a small Outback Steakhouse on North Winchester in Murrieta. They tried to hold the quality and taste, but never quite did it. They recently closed permanently. There are both a Longhorn Steakhouse and a Black Angus Steakhouse. Neither lives up to just the simple Outback Steakhouse in Clairemont Mesa. I am continuing my journey to find a tasty yet affordable .

Mac and cheese bites ....to die for

Bone In Ribeye was amazing as well. Cooked perfectly. Horseradish sauce was good but I would prefer it a bit more spicy. They had a bone in New York which you don't see too often so would try next time. Dirty hash is def worth it. Brocollini really good as well. Fries good hut you can get that anywhere so pass for next time. Appetizers were oysters, steak tartare and Caesar salad. Past reviews say steak tartare was table side. This one was not. All were OK but will try snails next time and order an extra side. Ambiance very nice. We had table on rooftop. Service was very good but a little slow for me.

The ambiance inside was very nice and really set the mood from the night but the environment was loud so something to keep in mind.

We ordered New York strips, the ceaser (on this night it wasn't table side but it typically is), broccolini, dirty hasbrowns and truffle fries! The steak was prepared perfectly and I really enjoyed the side of sauces we were able to try table side (peppercorn, horseradish, bernaise, Bordeaux) I really enjoyed the broccolini and hash rows and thought they complimented the meal perfectly! At the end of our meal I requested a Polaroid photo I had seen taken earlier in the night with another party since we were also celebrating something special and our server graciously called them over, turns out it was the manager that night and he was lovely! Very kind and helpful and the photo was the perfect touch to end our evening!!

Their locals are both actually local but also have many out of town regulars like us since so many travel to enjoy the amazingness of San Diego. We try to stay as close to Moe's as we can when we visit because they're in the perfect spot at the edge of Mission and the start of Pacific Beach where all the fun is. The food and cocktails are as good as the service. It's easy to chat up a new friend at the bar because their San Diego happiness is contagious. There were a number of new recipes on the cocktail menu this trip. They had me at "Party With Elvis." Although I was drawn to the fun name, the walnut-infused bourbon was too enticing to pass up, especially because they paired it with Montenegro (Amaro) and sweet vermouth. So it's a fancy Manhattan variation. It was delish!!!!!! Make sure when you go to the amazing beaches next time in SD, check out Moe's. You'll love the food and cocktails as much as the vibe.

Yes, I will be there next month with my whole gang celebrating with me on my special day! Our reservations were early, arriving on time @ 5:30 it was a bit quiet with only two other tables, but not for long. In no time every single table was filled. The restaurant was busy and the wine was a'flowin'! This quaint and very special restaurant reminds me of a small restaurant in San Diego in the 1980's, "Ciao Bella". It was located downtown on 4th Ave., it was also chef-owned. When you dine at a chef owned restaurant you are most likely destined for greatness, or a great meal! This is the case at Angela's Kitchen 'Carbon', because there is pure authenticity in her dishes and a whole lotta' love delivered in each plate. The subtle, warm decor is welcoming and the music is played at the perfect level. Just the right ambiance. Once seated, you'll be promptly greeted and the attentive wait staff will have your wine delivered pronto. What a selection they have. I started with the prosecco and moved on to the Sangiovese which complimented my pappardelle perfectly. My friend ordered the grilled salmon and had the Montepulciano Abate Pietro. The delivery of their fresh bread with garlicky pesto, and another with tomato, which I think was a focaccia. Just amazing. We asked for olive oil to compliment the bread: it was the very best of quality with a dark Sicilian olive green hue and the smoothness with the polyphenols and antioxidants dancing in my mouth. Yum! I asked for a side of Parmigiano and they brought a nice square ramekin full of finely grated cheese, Perfection!! These are the details that make me fall in love with a restaurant, causing me to return again and again. Both of our entrees were executed perfectly, the vegetables were grilled leaving a slight char, and the salmon was grilled just right leaving a tender center. My pappardelle was dressed in the deepest, richest mushroom + beef cheek fusion of flavors with whispers of some kind of red wine like maybe the Nero d'Avola that they feature on the menu. WoW!! This is a dish that you want to take your time savoring. Every bite surpassed the last, and then a sip of the Sangiovese and I was in fresh pasta heaven. Just when we were winding down and reeling from being overwhelmed by the amazing food, Angela came to our table with cannoli. It too was amazing! This was such a kind and unexpected gesture from the chef/owner. Grazie mille, a domani!

I was really impressed that u had a place to set my feet on because I'm very short and normally have a hard time with regular bar seats. There are a lot of cute touches like that. Hooks to hold your purse, etc. I was loving the soulful music which I thought was from a playlist so I used Shazam in order to capture the song. However, the music started to sound live so I walked around...only to find it was coming from a very talented woman named Marianne across the bar. Service was friendly, but we both noticed other tables were a bit ignored or slow to be served. We ordered a few margaritas. Cesar salad with chicken and the lobster arrabbiata with table-side Parmesan. The food was great. I'm not a big focaccia lover but there's was the best I've ever had. It was warm, light, airy, fluffy, and came with this amazing butter AND olive oil, balsamic rosemary. We used the bread to dip into the leftover pasta sauce. We ordered margaritas. I would definitely recommend the blood orange drink they have on the menu. Shout out to Morgan, who was an amazing server and Marianne whose live music changed my whole mood. You are so talented girl!
