I have lived in Springfield for 15 years. I will never eat or order at this restaurant again. Over the years we had continued to order from this restaurant because it is a local establishment even though they continually get our order wrong, forget items, or haven't cooked our food correctly. Before the holidays we once again received an incomplete order. The Manager said he would send us a gift card for the error. He promised the moon and back. A few weeks later I was going to order again and realized we had not received the card. I called the store, he didn't remember speaking to me, didn't send a card, and gave me an attitude as well. The Owner was no better and as someone who owns the establishment I would have expected a lot more. I will not eat here again and I will advise my friends and family to do the same. read more

Seated at table without silverware or napkins, figured the waitress would bring them out shortly, ordered drinks and appetizer. Drinks arrive, still no silverware. It was not until we had eaten our appetizer that she finally brought out silverware and napkins. after we finally requested. The waitress appeared annoyed that we asked, she also slammed down my water glass after requested refill, she never offered to refill. I ordered prime rib well done, of course that arrived red and pink center. I will not be returning to this place, terrible experience. read more

Great food great service. Excellent prime rib. Bartenders make you feel welcome. Busy on the weekends for good reason. Offers food while you wait. Bread is fantastic read more

Another disappointing experience. If this place weren't so close I'd never go there. The food is rarely the problem. Every order is incorrect whether I dine in or take out. I think it's time to say sayonara and drive a few extra miles. read more

The renovation looks great very modern and clean. Food was good and served quickly. Our server Kate was on top of everything the entire duration of our visit. And the new dessert flight is absolutely delicious! read more

Whoa! Looking at my old review, it's time for a revamp! I would have rated my new experience 4.5 stars, but I will happily round that up. It was worth waiting 35 minutes for a table (formerly 45 minutes - we came around 5:36pm), even though this was longer than we usually anticipated. If you want to kill the waiting time, just look around at the liquor store next door. Ready for why I'm giving this revamp the full rating? Well here we go! As soon as our buzzer went off, we were all seated in a booth. After 5-6 minutes, our waiter came by, introduced himself, and gave out some suggestions. He also brought out honey wheat bread for us. He was very nice and had a positive attitude. We ordered entrees that INCLUDED a cup of soup and a side salad. I've always loved options like those! After another 5 minute wait (short waiting time = AWESOME!!), our food started to arrive. Our side house salads and loaded potato soups came out first simultaneously. I've always loved their loaded potato soup. It was very creamy with pieces of potato mixed in. On top of the soup was some seasoning, bits of bacon and shredded cheese. We actually had to mix in those toppings while the soup was hot. All of that resulted in a tasty, non-salty sensation. This would have been perfect on a cold night or day. ;) Our side house salad had lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese and croutons. It was really good. The honey wheat bread was fresh out of the oven on a wooden plank when we got it, and it came with a small dish of butter with a steak knife for spreading. That knife was also for the slicing of the bread. All of that was good, and not too sweet. As we ate, our main entrees arrived. This occurred within a very short period of time, which was nice! We all ordered the Teriyaki Filet Medallions. It was made up of flavored meat pieces with some roasted peppers on top of a bed of seasoned rice. I thought the meat was good, but a little salty due to the sauce, but the roasted peppers were SALTY BEYOND BELIEF!! As for my other family member, she thought that EVERYTHING was too salty for her. This was why I would have taken 1/2 star away. I flagged down one of the managers, and explained about our discontent with this entree. He felt apologetic and explained the procedures regarding the making of this entree. He then suggested ordering the Victoria's Fillet due to the low sodium content. While this was unnecessary for myself since I was able to mix the meat up with my side salad, my other family member ran along with the manager's idea. The manager even comped her entree in favor of the alternative. Our waiter then came by and apologized for our experience with that entree. Now THAT'S what I call service. :) Soon, the Victoria's Fillet came out. My other family member enjoyed it, and gave me a small piece to try. Yeah, that was good. The meat was tender, not salty, and flavorful. I may have to order that next time I come here. Another nice manager came by to see if all was well, and then asked me how were the roasted peppers. When I told him it was too salty, he explained the procedures for cooking this, along with an apology. This was cool. This restaurant is located in a strip mall called Echo Plaza. It's right off of US-22 West and Mountain Ave. The restaurant scenery was kind of dark with low lighting, which was okay. The bar area was small. The whole restaurant was noisy with people's conversations and loud music in an open environment. Don't expect a quiet atmosphere when dining in here. We didn't order dessert at all since we were full from our dinner, which was actually a good thing! Overall, we were really pleased with the service that we received here this time. Our waiter was excellent and the short waiting periods for our meals were outstanding. One of the managers rectified our issue with the main entree without an issue at all. All of this is as good as it gets! read more

Outback is great for Steak, Lobster Tails, Shrimp & Chicken entrees !. The Apps like chicken wings, Volcano or Coconut Shrimp are great, but the Crab Cakes we bad (No Lump Crab meat-only stringy pieces), Bloom onion petals were bad (greasy & dried out - should not even be served), I have had the Bloomin Onion in the past and was very good - What Happened (speak to the cook!). read more

Didn't see a waiter for the first 10 minutes after we were seated, in an empty restaurant. Ordered a Sam Adams. Got a Sam Summer Ale. Bread was stale. Steak was fine, but tiny, and $25. Mashed potatoes tasted like they came out of a box and the asparagus was tasteless. I expect all that from an Outback, more or less, but here was the kicker: Used a credit card that I rarely use. The next morning (just now), I get a fraud alert text from the bank. Someone used my number (via "manual entry") to spend $497 at a Sprint phone store. Fortunately the bank computers caught the fraud as it happened. I won't be coming here again. Waiters are stealing credit card numbers. Not good. read more

Just visited this place on Wed June 5 but for some reason I was no longer able to write a reviewvfor that location. Ater my horrible experience at the Greenbrook location I was anxious to get back & enjoy the Outback that I'm accustomed to and enjoy and once again everything was great! My lamb was cooked perfectly and my daughter's prime rib eye was cooked to perfection. The waiter was also very warm engaged and attentive. read more

I have been going to outbacks for years and recently visited this location. The food was great and the service was on point. The manager even came over and asked how we were doing. Though I don't live in the area anytime I do come around here I will be back for sure! Highly recommend this outback read more

My boyfriend and I decided to head to the Outback for lunch on a Saturday. We arrived around 1 and there were a couple of other tables, but otherwise pretty empty so we were seated right away. I was impressed with the number of lunch combos they have. I never thought of Outback as a lunch spot (more so dinner/late night apps and drinks), but when I found a coupon for $5 off a lunch entrée, I was excited to have some midday steak. I ordered the Outback Special (6oz Sirloin). I thought it was very flavorful, juicy, with minimal fat. My bf ordered the Bloomin' Sirloin and wolfed his down. I've had so many so-so steaks at other places that were double, sometimes triple the cost. The 9.99 steak plates are definitely worth it! We'll be back, Outback. read more

Went on a Tuesday night and was looking forward to the ribeye but they missed two deliveries and didn't have much of anything. However, the sirloin and Longhorn steak was cooked deliciously with great grill flavors. I definitely would return but I'll call ahead of time to check inventory! read more

Went to outback for an early dinner with my wife and was disappointed from the start. Place was not clean and it took forever for our food to arrive. Bathrooms were in horrible disrepair. I will not be returning to outback based on this visit. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Disgusting restrooms. Urine all over the toilet seat and toilet paper broken. Other stall was worse but couldnt take pic - Steakhouses Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

Worst dining experience of the year. Blooming onion was burnt and so greasy as to be inedible. Service was abysmal. Had to re-ask for one of our drinks, one diner's meal came without the lobster tail. When this was pointed out, out waiter brought it right away. Must have been sitting there cooling! All the steaks were over seasoned with some horrid rub. Second round of drinks never came at all. Had to ask repeatedly for someone to find out so-called waiter to get the bill. This mistake will not be repeated read more

Don't get me wrong, this is your average Outback, but when I cam here, I was reminded of how reasonable the steaks were. There was a seemingly massively long wait for a table, but while we were waiting, someone came around with appetizers to try every 10 minutes. Definitely made it more bearable. read more

I have eaten in the restaurant and I had experience the curbside takeout. They are both excellent services. Parking is good and wait time is not bad. I usually try and get there early to enjoy my meal. Staff is nice and the decor is excellent. Good to take family and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend the bone in ribeye. My wife and I usually get this with our sides and my daughter gets the porter porkchop which is a reasonable price. Don't sleep on this location. read more

Food is so-so. It's a chain - whaddaya expect? Came here with a few friends and was not wowed. The fried blooming onion is awesome to share between 6 people. I had the Cesar salad and forgot what I had for the main course. My friend got his salad when I got mine and when his food came it was a single piece of meat on a plate. No sides, nothing. We all had a good laugh. Everyone else's food was ok. When dessert came, we got a sampler to share and there was a very prominent thumb and finger print on the cheesecake. We had a good laugh at that too. One upside? The bread is yummy. Service was so-so. read more

The food is ALWAYS delicious and amazing. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly and nice. There is this one manager there named Felix how always goes above and beyond. read more

I've gone to many outbacks over the years and felt the food has gone downhill. This outback was an exception. Steak was cooked the way I asked medium good favor. Salad had a few wilted greens in it but it was ok. I sat at the bar wasnt too busy but felt the service could of been faster. read more

I have been in Outback restaurants in Asia where I thought service was as outstanding as the food. Our dinner experience in Outback Mountainside NJ today June 18th is by far the most amazing in terms of over all food quality, speed and presentation. Scott Villa and his entire crew were on point, attentive, cheerful, amazingly positive even at that time of day when wait staff are normally grumpy and tired. Scott made sure that he more than made up for his staff mistakingly taking our order that has ran out of stock. He replace it with something better. What makes it really outstanding is he owned the error even of it is not his and personally looked after us the rest of the night. Isn't that 5 star service? Not only did he made us feel special - we now look at Outback as benchmark of world class service because of Scott Villa!! read more

The service here is pretty good. So far I've had Jill, Maks, and Alex. All of them lovely servers, I would ask for any of them. This is definitely the place to go if you're craving a nice steak. Today I had the Teriyaki Filet Medallions with mixed veggies and the potato soup, all of which I enjoyed very much. Then, I had the chocolate down under with ice cream. Mmm. I definitely recommend this place. read more

wait time was a bit long , even for reservations . Bone in Rib Eye was pretty good with the added Garlic Butter Topping . But my most enjoyable option was the Shared Mason Jar Mojito. For $16.00 it was enough for 4 people lol .. so much that i left without finishing half of the jar ! . read more

Ordered a takeout from Outback yesterday - Filet Mignon & Lobster. It came with a salad, small loaf of bread, and all the side options available for this selection. The meat was good, so was the lobster (although I felt it was a little dry for my taste). Overall, not a bad meal if you don't want to cook at the end of the day and don't want to go out. I like this location of Outback. However, I have to admit that even though takeout was good, the food always seems better when dining in. read more

I was in this Outback with my fiancé. Upon arrival we were greeted in a way that wasn't welcoming but just looked at the host as a young kid who fu didn't have a care in the world. Anyway after we were seated, we waited nearly 10 minutes. Now it may not be a long time however the place was stone empty for the most part. I saw one waiter and I'd describe as bald and tall. He walked by at least three times without acknowledging us. I truly understand how the business works but again it was NOT at all busy to where we couldn't be acknowledged with a simple someone will be right with you. As we were leaving we saw the same waiter talking to another one and the person who he was talking to at least acknowledged us by saying he was sorry. Maybe he was going to be our waiter but again we decided to leave. We then went to Stagehouse down the road. Now they were busy and when we were sat, we were greeted immediately. I love Outback and will continue going. However not at this one read more

This place has amazing steak. I really enjoy the outback special cooked medium rare. Steaks are always fresh and taste great. The tenderest steak in town, I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Food was good for a chain restaurant, service was HORRIBLE, only reason for our visit was because of a holiday gift card.

I've dined at this particular Outback on several different occasions and overall the food is usually pretty good but sadly the quality of food is not always consistent. Let me start by saying that I love the complimentary bread, it really hits the spot while you wait for your food to be prepared. I always order the bloomin' onion to start. If I'm lucky it comes out exactly how the bloomin' onion should be: fresh, crispy, sweet, salty, and easy to eat. Other times it is too greasy, and cut poorly, which makes it extremely difficult to pull off the individual pedals. Most of the employees are friendly and attentive. All in all the food is typical for a chain restaurant. Depending on the chef and the server, the experience is hit or miss. I give this restaurant 4 stars because I've had more positive experiences than negative. read more

I had a good experience here had the OUTBACK SPECIAL AND GRILLED SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE it was good and the meat was juicy. The shrimp was wrapped in bacon which was really good. They would have 5 stars but they didn't bring me one of my sides the Aussie fries.Over all good steakhouse. read more

Came for a late lunch this afternoon. The service was amazing, out waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have a nut allergy, she actually went back to inquire whether the dessert I wanted to order had nuts. The kitchen manager came out to speak with me about the nut allergy! I was pleasantly surprised! The place was clean and everything seems to be running like a well oiled machine. We will definitely be back more often! read more

If they had REAL sweet tea it woulda been 5 stars Prime rib was out standing Wife's strip was great Daughter loved the chicken strips Service was quick and friendly. Happy we stopped read more

Not worth it! Save yourself and go elsewhere... 6oz Victoria filet is more like 3oz, the toppings of cheese and bacon for your baked potato are barely 1oz. The Caesar salad had 3 croutons and again barely any dressing. You're better off paying a little more and going to a real steak house. Outback you got my money tonight but I can assure you never again! read more

First came in with group of 4 at 9:00 pm there was no hostess then a small asian girl who was the bus girl came and told us it was a 15 minute wait and asked for our name and number to call us we wait for 15 minutes plus with no call came back in and there was still no hostess and i was waiting for another 10 minutes a bald man finally came out the back and i asked to speak to management ( Sabrina) came from the back i told her the situation and she apologized and sat us then our waitress who was rude from the beginning (Sjockiea) had a attitude when we sat down she took our drink order and it took 20 minutes then we got to order and we waited for our food and we asked the busser girl from the front for 2 glasses of water she looked at us with a attitude and said she does not do water and told us to wait for Sjockiea she never came back either until we got our food never checked on us and at this point was beyond disrespectful and when Sjockiea brought the check i asked to speak to management she rolled her eyes and walked away calling me and my group vulgar names then a fellow employee passed when sweeping the floor making threats at me and my table i refused to pay at this point and no management came either we were the last table in the restaurant and manger Scott came apologized and discounted our meal but disgusting waitress service read more

Yesterday when I went to outback for dinner, I ordered a steak, lobster tail, and side french fries. When I cut open my steak, some parts were raw! When I took a bite of my lobster tail, it was extremely tough and it's never like that! I was very unhappy with my meal yesterday! read more
