Dinner honoring my father's birthday. Everything was exceptional, food, service, (Matt was our server) and atmosphere were above standards. I definitely will be returning. I give Outback Steakhouse a 5/5 stars. Thank you! read more

Unreal. Almost one on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and half the restaurant is EMPTY. Barely anyone in the bar. Nobody AT the bar. Note our number of checkins here. They are turning away families. There's a WAIT for a 2 top. On a Saturday. At lunch. Plan to fail like this and you are sure to fail. Also. The manager came out. Looked at all the people who weren't being seated. Said nothing and left. I went for BBQ instead. Was seated instantly. Left a HUGE tip. read more

Pick up order. It was still hot when we got it home. Everything was in that i ordered. We had the seared Ahi tuna wit mashed potatoes and salad as well as Alice springs chicken and 6 Oz steak With sides of loaded baked potato and broccoli and the bread with butter. The steak was as i ordered and everything so good. 10/10. read more

I did call ahead seating since we were going to be a table of 5-6. The hostess was not good. You could tell she didn't want to be there and due to that she lacked at her job. As I said before we are a table of 5-6 and she set us at a 4 top table. This was because the individual that was to relieve her was late to work. Same for several other employees and therefore we couldn't be sat at a larger table. That's what we were told by the hostess. The table we were sat at, I can say we got a great waiter. He took care of everything and we didn't have to ask for anything. For that alone this is a three star review. The appetizer was good, the steaks were salty according to everyone. The Alice springs chicken was good as well. read more

Food was amazing, did the curbside pick up and it was right on time!! My last visit we walked right in, they seated us and we were in shock because the parking lot was full. Food was amazing then also with very good staff! read more

Never been a big fan of the chain. I heard good thing. Nope steak had to be cooked twice to get mid rare. The blooming onion is what it is. A grease bomb but you know that going in. Salad was fine. My wife loved the Alice Springs Chicken. She liked there soup. Service was great. I can't say 1 bad thing about it. It's a little crowded and it is loud. Not a date night place. read more

This was our last visit. We have dined at Outback a few times, mostly for dinner and now for lunch. The meat is never cooked right and is not good. The best items are simply the potatoes and salad. This Outback needs an overhaul of the cooks and hostesses, as it lacks in customer service at the front, quality of the food, and the meat is never cooked properly. read more

No wonder this place has 3 stars. Overcooked steak. Undercooked broccoli. Serve dropped the food off and came back when we were all Done. Didn't even ask how everything was. Nobody cares in this place. We won't be back. read more

Service is good; however, steak was very gristly. Even though Prime Rib and mixed vegetables are on the menu, neither was available. Baked potato was served without butter. Very disappointed! read more

The food was ok, but the sales tactics turned me off. After telling the waitress what I wanted, she asked me what side dish I wanted and what dressing did I want on my salad. I assumed a salad came with the meal, so I responded appropriately. Turns out the salad was $5 extra. So I was charged for a salad that was nothing special and that I really did not want. The restaurant tacks an automatic 20% tip on the bill, so the waitress made an extra $1 in tips for every salad she pushed on unsuspecting customers. If you go to the Arizona Steakhouse in Simpsonville, SC, beware of this tactic. I will never eat at another Arizona Steakhouse and the food is nothing special. read more

Very disappointed. We got sat down at a dirty table even with plenty other tables available. Bloomin' onion and coconut shrimp were extremely oily. Lots of oil on plate. Salad was awful. Lettuce tasted like it was from a bag, the prepackaged type, and the Ranch dressing was basically flavorless. The baked potato was not what I expected for a loaded baked potato. Hardly any butter and very light on the condiments. Although the server was good, I don't think we will be visiting Outback again any time soon. read more

Friendly staff but the food was grey, cold and very greasy unfortunately. With prices so high here, I'd expect much better. Plus, this is a newly built Outback, so I'd think the food should be much better. read more

Took an hour to sit down, then another hour just to get our food. Service was poor, food was even worse. Asked for medium burger, it was well done. All of our fries were cold, had to constantly ask for drink refills (never came by,) salmon is spicy which wasn't labeled that way on the menu, middle of the steak is raw. Asked for ranch and ketchup three times and didn't even get it until food was eaten. Definitely will not return. read more

55+ years only! There is absolutely nothing unique or flavorful about the food here anymore. If you're older and don't care too much about flavor in your food and bland is okay because salt and pepper are on the table then you'll be fine. Service is great, ambiance is decent. Place is small. But the meat had to be 70/30 quality on our burger and just nasty grease covering the plate and drowning the sides. For two adults and a child, $75 is way too much for the quality of food. Do not recommend. read more

Like the new spot in Simpsonville. The all-you-can-eat lunch special is amazing and will not take you long to hit your max with the big portions. Much needed addition to that area! read more

I had a curbside pickup and they were great! The food was hot and the order was exactly how we wanted it. We will definitely be back.

Omg this place rocks! Chrissy was such a good help. He was kind and well trained. You can tell he really cares about his work by his walk. He came to me so fast. The food was soo delicious. My only complaint is the app was a bit hard to understand. I would recommend this place to anyone especially if you want your food handled with the love mine was. read more

I came here with my family as an event to celebrate whatever. The waiter gets here and we all order our drinks. The drinks get here and the waiter gives all my family regular sized cups, but not me he gave me one of the kid cups. But I ignored that and ordered a burger, I asked for "No lettuce and no onions" when the food gets here I get my burger and they gave me onions. Plus the burger was just bland and too much seasoning and also mostly dry. (I do not recommend) read more

This location seems to have some magic. The best Outback experience I've had in years. Service was fast, polite and the food was actually very good. There may be hope yet for the brand. read more

I have eaten at Outback many times over the years, and I can't remember getting a bad meal there. Tonight however my steak was inedible..it was loaded with way too much salt to the point of being disgusting..I pointed this out to my server and was told, "yeah the food here can be inconsistent depending on who is doing the cooking." The person who prepared my steak needs some retraining. read more

It's hard to believe a store this new would be ran so poorly. This place is over staffed by under trained people. If you find that you want to wait for over an hour to eat food that is thrown at you as if you are animals in a zoo, then this is the place for you! We placed our order for 2 appetizers and 4 steaks and 2 bar drinks. The appetizers came out almost immediately but we had to wait almost 20 minutes to get our drinks. We could not have even been half way through our appetizers when the runner brought our salads out. Unfortunately, she didn't know what dressing was what and stood at our table turning the salads all over the place with her face buried in them to try and figure out what was what. When someone finally figured out what the dressings were, our steaks were delivered over seasoned and not hot. It was surprising that they brought our meals so quick but kept our young one waiting for his food for an additional 15 minutes. None of us felt right eating without him so we asked for takeaway boxes and packed everything up once his food arrived. We voiced our experience and concerns with a manager but she clearly needs a refresh in customer service. She had every excuse for why our meal was botched yet offered no apology. We all felt that the staff there is working yet none of them cared to be there. I wish them luck as they try to work out the issues. Maybe we will give it another shot in a couple months, but for now it's a hard pass. read more

First of all, a shoutout to Sammy our hostess for helping find the perfect table. Hope you enjoy your stay in SC. Secondly, kudos to Ashley our server for making sure everything was top notch . This Outback feels different than other Outback's I've visited. This one feels more like a nice steakhouse. Service has been excellent each time I've visited. Drinks have been quite good. The Blackberry Martini is excellent as well as the Huckleberry Moonshine. Appetizers are pretty good. Definitely recommend the fried mushrooms! The Mac and Cheese bites were a bit dry but ok. And can't go wrong with the grilled shrimp! Entrees have been hit or miss. First visit was the "Queensland Chicken".... Miss... It was a chicken breast with some cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. The best part was the dipping sauce.. Not Recommended.. Second visit was the Kingsland Pasta. Definitely worth it! Grilled shrimp were excellent, the steak was cooked as asked and seasoned nicely. Pasta was very good (maybe just a touch more sauce, but otherwise very nice). Dessert was the Salted Caramel Cookie Skillet.. Oh yeah!! A warm soft cookie topped with ice cream and drizzled with caramel... Oh yeah.. save room for this one.. Overall, definitely will be making more visits and trying new items on the menu! Definitely worth the wait! read more

You can't order any takeout from this place. 2nd time in a row they forget something. I understand the low rating now.

Two visits so far and 100% satisfied! The prime rib is fantastic the Tasmanian Chile is fabulous and the service wonderful. We will be back.

To celebrate my retirement and recent move, our restaurant of choice was The Outback Steakhouse. The ambience was relaxing and the food was excellent. We'll definitely be re-visiting this restaurant again. read more

My experience tonight at the outback in simpsonville was very poor to say the least. It's okay to have to wait, but when other customers complain to the manager and she sits them before you after you been waiting for over a hour. This is just poor management, if this place continues like this I don't see a bright future for them. The food was good, but the glass of water I received was cracked and when shown to the waitress all she said OMG. If you go there just get a little rude and the Mgr will sit you right away. read more

We decided to stop in on a Friday evening, a couple of weeks after their opening. Still super busy, we had to drive around the parking lot a couple of times waiting for a space to open. I believe that you can't expect perfection when a restaurant first opens. There is a learning curve, and kindness and patience with servers and the kitchen is called for, so our expectations weren't high. We were met at the door by a hostess that informed us there was two-hour wait. We had decided beforehand to try for a seat at the bar, and luckily two were available. We sat right down and were served immediately. Outback offers $7 cocktails every day, and the blackberry martini sounded good. Served up nicely with a dried blood orange slice, it was delicious, but small (or maybe I was just thirsty). Our kind bartenders took great care of us with both food and drink, and the kitchen did a great job with the perfectly cooked filet and the ribeye. And the baked sweet potato was perfect! I've always been a bigger fan of Longhorn, but Outback knocked it out of the park this time. read more

My friend and I both ordered the 18oz bone in rib eyes. A good third of each steak was pure fat. The rest was almost inedible. The toughest steaks we have ever had! The small scoop of mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a school cafeteria. Service was good but that was the ONLY good thing about our visit. I will stick with Longhorn! I only went there because I had a gift card. Do yourselves a favor and drive to Longhorn! read more

Had a great experience. The Simpsonville store is new and of course quite busy, hope it stays that way. Greeted well and my seating was comfortable. The waitress and managers was extremely nice, I will be coming back soon. Keep up the great work ( Holly) Food was to my liking and was corrected as I requested. Fast service with a nice smile. Welcome to Simpsonville OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE!!! read more

It's a new place and already gross. There's just zero pride. Glasses are dirty, had something floating in drink. Skated on greasy floor as we came in and out. Counter tops hardly wiped. Food over fried. News flash. Customers can tell when food has been sitting there and then you just drop it in the fryer again when ordered. It's far from fresh. I thought we were walking into a topless joint the way the hostess had her entire breast out. There were staff members hacking which was gross. Likely because you can see most of them smoking in back of the restaurant when you pull up. It won't be long before they go out like Red Lobster. Standards gone. read more

Great filet mignon and lobster tail, with a stuffed potato and fresh broccoli. Dinner was excellent. The service was just as good by Kaylee. I enjoyed looking at the pretty painting on the wall. However, the manager needs to pay attention to cleaning. It's not bad now, but I wouldn't want to go back in two months and see the restaurant if they haven't cleaned it up better. read more

Outback Steakhouse - I got the 6oz sirloin and blooming chicken with mashed potatoes and steakhouse macaroni! - Steakhouses Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Food was great and yes I've been to Outback before (not this one) - hands down the BEST Outback! Great service and the food was really good!

Maybe this will get better once they are open for a while, but wasn't acceptable the first few weeks. First, we used the website to join the waitlist, and when we arrived the hostess said "That isn't working, it'll be 30 minutes" Then went to the bar to order a beer. Only 2 beers on draft, Bud Light and cider. No craft or others. Next, at the table, ordered baked potato and they said, "we are out", so we ordered mashed. Then manager came out, "we're out of mashed would you take a baked potato?"!!. Then, my steak that was ordered very rare came out well done. They said they would replace it but it took so long that the others at our table had finished before it came out. They said, "sorry, ee entered the rebook wrong". Manager never offered anything to comp us after this eventful night. I should have cooked at home rather than paying over $100 for that experience. read more

We went for VIP day Saturday and had the sirloin, ribeye, lobster tails and Alice springs chicken and had an appetizer and ALL food was excellent. We were very happy with the service and everyone worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed and was friendly. read more

We had a Great experience! The food was wonderful as well!! Best server by far is Tara!!!

Food was great and so was the service. Even though I did join the waitlist online and I was there about 10 minutes before I reserved I ended up waiting 22 minutes which isn't too bad because it would have been 30 to 40 minutes if I hadn't joined online. The ambiance was slower at first but picked up as the day went on. read more

Sat us at a dirty table. Flies constantly flying around our food.. inside. Service was transaction based, everything asked was to add an up charge. Asked for plain macaroni and butter for my 4 year old, but instead was charged 17 dollars for a full adult portion of pasta. Both of our steaks were over cooked. As someone who works in the service industry this just wasn't a good time for us. Won't be back. 80 dollar check for two adults and a 4 year old with no drinks is ridiculous. If the food was actually good I wouldn't care but you'd never catch me ordering a ribeye or porterhouse from somewhere like this. We just wanted to pay and leave. read more
