    So there's not too much I can really say about Outback Steakhouse that most people don't really already know. If you haven't been to one before I would honestly be very surprised. For some reason we occasionally come here thinking it's a great idea, and every single time I am slightly let down. It's never a bad meal, and it's never a great meal. It is what it is; a simple steakhouse with a worn out shtick about being an "Australian steakhouse" that prepares their dishes like you would get them "down under", which is as far from the truth as humanly possible because Australian barbecue and steak grilled are very different than what you will get here. However, if you want a moderately priced cut of meat, that won't be all too bad, don't want to travel far, don't mind the annoying decor and mediocre overall feel and service, then you can easily head to the Outback that is most conveniently located locally to you. The location we go to in Springfield is very nice considering the different experiences that I have had at places like this over the years. The place is nice and clean, bathrooms are sparkling, at least in my visits, and the staff, surprisingly compared to other places I have been, are very nice, attentive, and actually engaging most of the time. Not just your average fill of post-teenage servers that are eking out a restaurant job while home from school on summer or winter break. Everything I have ever had here is pretty good as well. Nothing would ever make me exclaim "Wow!" but minus the normal pieces have have some bad gristle or sinew, I'm always happy enough. To avoid this, I will usually go with a much leaner cut than I normally would (ribeyes are my favorite) and I'll get a sirloin or a flat iron at places like this, and they do just fine. The consistency is why I eventually keep coming back, and probably, despite the slight protest each time, continually will over the years. Give the Springfield Outback a try. It's one of the better ones in my opinion. If you've never been to one, then why not try out the chain this time round. There's also access to some wonderful dessert places nearby and other food if this doesn't strike your fancy. But why not give it a shot, or another try if it's been a while? I know I eventually will, like always......

    Never thought I'd write a review for an Outback Steakhouse but hey first time for everything. We had reservations at a different place but those got unexpectedly canceled. Hungry, we looked around what was nearby, saw an Outback, and even better saw it had no wait time for our party of 7. I went in with bottom barrel expectations and was pleasantly surprised the entire time. We were quickly seated at our table, and the server was quick to explain the menu, specials, and get our drink orders in. I got a smokey old fashioned, my wife the "Puggle Splash". Both were quite good - the Puggle Splash even came with a toy Platypus - how cool is that? In addition our daughter got a toy duck with the little Outback logo and some crayons and coloring paper. The brown bread, which is included, was exceptional. I've been to restaurants that are 2x more expensive than Outback that had bread that wasn't anywhere near as good as this stuff. Must have. The food came out in good time, and again knocked my expectations out of the park. Normally if we order food from a chain like Applebees, it looks nothing like the picture, and is oversalted/seasoned. Not so with Outback. The Steak was cooked exactly medium as requested, was juicy, and lightly seasoned as were the veggies and baked sweet potato. Was this steak better than a high-end steakhouse steak? No, but for under $30 its absolutely a fantastic cut of red meat. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food (my wife got the salmon) even our daughter liked her pasta. 5 stars from her. Our server would check on us, refill our waters as needed. Al in all we had an exceptional time. If you're in the Springfield area and looking for a good quality, reasonably priced family restaurant to bring the whole family, kids included too, I can't recommend Outback enough. Well done.

    We usually like visiting Outbacks so it was natural to try this location. There is plenty of parking in this strip mall location. The staff was friendly and we were promptly seated. The portions were healthy and we all had leftover. Of course we do the blooming onion .. yum.. We had steaks/chicken and a various other items. All tasty. I'll be back

    Standard affair but reasonable prices for what you get. Steak was a good portion offering and quality was so so. Cooked well. Lobster Mac and cheese used real lobster and a good portion size- a winner here. I went with an old fashioned because of the smokiness. Didn't taste the smokiness and the sugar added was all at the bottom. Maybe if it was mixed better. BlackBerry martini from my friend came out well with the blend of fruity flavors and his meatloaf was slightly adventurous with a slight kick and not too shabby but not a must have. Outback is a reliable name for a reasonably priced dining experience and convenience that they might even be one of the fewer places open on July 4. Thank you to the staff for your availability.

    Sauce who?
    Naomi P.

    Got food to go. I got the pasta with chicken and shrimp. It's supposed to have Alfredo sauce on it. But where ?? The pasta was dry and not good flavor. For $22 it's a rip off. Serving size wasn't great either.

    Blooming onion minus the bloom.

I don't know when this location went so far downhill, but this was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. I was told my food was ready at 9:12 and didn't actually receive it until 9:40 after having to walk inside myself and ask for it. On top of that, I ordered a medium well steak and it came out completely charred black. The bread was stale and hard, they forgot the butter for the sweet potato, and the Brussels sprouts had so much salt dumped on them they were basically inedible. To make things even more unprofessional, while customers were waiting outside, two bus boys were standing there talking to each other while one showed the other pictures on his phone saying, "Look at this girl, I'm sleeping with her and her friend." Completely inappropriate behavior in front of customers. Really sad to see because this used to be one of my favorite spots.

It was fine but kind of mainstream for me. Their dessert menu was all very straightforward options pretty much. I think the menu has changed a lot from many years ago- my salad was fresh for a Tuesday evening especially. There were a variety of slushie flavors with nice combinations. The quantity would be a little for some, but it was enough for me since it had alcohol and that kept the prices more reasonable. I did not take pictures as I did not want to be rude on this particular occasion. Staff is very friendly and crowd was light but people were still around despite the heavy rain.

We were all very excited…read moreto try Tavolas based upon their website and instagram, however, the restaurant did not make the night special. My maid of honor had booked a table for 11 people (she had her mothers retirement there with more people mind you) and we were seated on their very large outdoor space but not the patio as stated on the reservation. The restaurant is all pretty open to the course and it appeared there was more "patio" area elsewhere. The hostess brought us to the fire pit depicted in the one photo and placed menus on the fire pit and walked away. We were confused as we thought we were getting a table, after going back up to her she said we could have the table next to it as she did not know and that we had the fire pit as well, which was a plus! The disappointing part was that it was never turned on for us. It took several minutes for a waiter to come over to greet us, and triple that to get our first round of drinks. When drinks were brought there were still 3 missing but were eventually brought out. All of our drinks were in wine glasses which was strange and we did not get wine. Our prosecco had the proper glassware however. The waiter then walked away but we called him back as we wanted to get appetizers. We placed them and off the waiter went. While we sipped and toasted another waiter come over stating they had a glass of champagne for someone at the table which had a piece of fruit on the bottom. I had a bride to be sash on and we assumed someone saw it and had treated me to it. Well 10 minutes later and almost done the drink they came over and said "actually that drink was not meant for this table". Did they expect us to return it? Why even say that to a party? That was not our mishap. How oblivious that I am a bride to be as well? Just very odd. It took forever for our food and drinks even more so. There was a decent crowd but nothing extreme. We all felt like it took forever, not just me, and one of the women works at a very busy and fast paced restaurant and she even agreed. Our server was just okay and did not make the night feel special nor did any staff for that matter. For the food--The peach crostini appetizer was pretty good but everyone could tell they were canned cold peaches on the crostini. Cheesesteak egg rolls were mediocre. I ordered an appetizer for my main which was the tuna poke. That was decent and fresh but could have had more sauce/dressing. No one at the table raved about their food. Once we got our food we never saw our waiter till the end when we were all over it and ready to leave, especially since their live music went from upbeat summer vibes to depressing jazz music. After we were done taking some group pictures and paid we left. Never got a congratulations, come again, nothing. Honestly I am so disappointed which is disheartening as I was excited for the night and the decor/atmosphere, which all that it has going for this place. We ended up going out to another local spot for better music, service, and dancing.
