First visit to any location in AZ ...ignoring the 3-star review. Arriving just after opening on a Sunday was the best time to come. We were greeted by Maureen and seated by Rylee. Both were kind. Ms. Maureen knows the dining room and where a party was seated when guests leave. I'm impressed. Even the bartender is attentive. Realizing I was looking for the restroom, she directed me around the bar and didn't miss a beat with what she was doing. Our server Daniel is excellent. I love great recommendations and honest feedback. Thank you Daniel for your hospitality! The "complimentary" brown bread is warm, soft and delicious along with the soft butter. I had a conversation with the manger. Samantha is so professional and personable. She is an excellent example of how providing great customer service looks. Thank you! Did I say we came at the right time? When we left an hour & half later, it looked like all tables were filled. We ordered the THREE CHEESE SPINACH DIP: A creamy blend of chopped spinach, Mozzarella, Parmesan, cream cheese, and Alfredo sauce. Served with tortilla chips. Amazing appetizer! My meal: OUTBACK RIBS (1/2 rack) Smoked, brushed & grilled with a tangy BBQ sauce with seasoned rice and broccoli. Ribs were super tender. The rice was tasty. The broccoli was cooked just right and I asked for melted butter on the side. Hubby's meal: ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN®: Grilled chicken breast topped with sautéed mushrooms, crisp bacon, melted Monterey Jack and Cheddar and honey mustard sauce. His sides were a green salad and baked potato. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. We are glad we choose to dine out on Mother's Day. The food was delicious. When the background sounds allow for conversation, that a good thing. The restroom was clean when is important. read more

I have been to a handful of Outback Steakhouses over the years. My dad is a steak and potatoes kind of guy... so he ALWAYS picks Outback or Longhorn when I visit, lol. Servers are always friendly, although on some visits I have had forgetful (and even disappearing) servers at this location. While I am generally a fan of Outback, I was SUPER DISAPPOINTED in my New York Strip on my last visit. It was literally half fat. Unfortunately I only had a few bites at the restaurant before wrapping it up to go, so I did not discover how fatty is was until the next day when I tried to eat it for lunch. NY Strip is my favorite cut, so I have had it a lot. Outback, you can and should do better! I hope this steak was a fluke, but if not, then at least I know that Longhorn always has a fantastic NY Strip. The sides are always solid at Outback, so that's a positive. And having celiac, I can always find a handful of safe items on the menu to order. Overall rating: ***THREE STARS*** Gluten-free rating: ***THREE STARS*** read more

Hello Everyone: This review is for the Outback Steak House in Surprise, AZ. There is plenty of parking in the adjacent lot. I am going to divide up my review by subjects: Greeting: Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the hostess. I mentioned to her how nice the restaurant was and she was delighted we were going to give them a try. We had a gift card which included being able to be used at Outback, we were in the area, and decided to give this location a try. Five stars for the greeting. Seating: The seating consists of bar, booth and tables. We sat in a booth which was very comfortable. Sometimes the seats in booths can be wore down or torn/taped, but these were nicely kept up and were very clean. Floor seating was spaced so you did not overhear the conversation next to you. Five stars for the seating. Bathroom: Was nicely furnished, clean, with full soap/hand towels. Five starts for the bathrooms. Menu Options: There are several different menu options from sandwiches, steaks, salads, soups and burgers. If you are hungry, I am sure you can find something that would make you happy. My husband ordered the Cobb Salad with crispy chicken and I ordered the Outback Burger and fries. Since it was our first time at this Outback, Lori sent us one of their famous bloomin' onions, fresh out of the fryer with a wonderful dipping sauce. This was a real treat as we rarely order a deep-fried appetizer. The dipping sauce had a hint of horseradish. Review of the bloomin' onion: Very nice. Edges were crispy, onion was cooked just enough so it was not still firm. The only comment we both had was the amount of grease on the bottom of the onion at the base. After frying, the onion may have benefited 30 seconds or so to drain on a paper towel prior to serving. The sauce was a little spicy, just right, not too spicy and was thick enough to stay on the onion piece when dipping. Our wonderful waiter Christian indicated to us for future reference, you can order 1/2 an onion as well if desired. If you have never ordered one, I recommend you at least try a 1/2 an onion and enjoy something you don't see many places with the delicious sauce. Review of the salad: Husband said it was good. The cobb salad can be ordered with crispy chicken, grilled chicken, salmon or no chicken (each with a price variation). I would call this more of a mixed salad than a cobb salad. Traditionally, cobb salads are served with each ingredient lined up into the center of the salad. This salad presentation had all the ingredients mixed/tossed, with the chicken on top. Two sides of dressings were served. Had he eaten the entire salad, he would have had to ask for more dressing. This is a large salad, perhaps big enough for two people to split along with a side of soup or something else. Nice Touch: Warm bread is served with this entree. Review of the burger: The menu claims their burger is a 1/2-pound burger. Based on my many years of cooking experience, including as a chef for 5+ years, I do not believe the burger I received was a 1/2-pound portion. I ordered my burger medium to medium well, and it was served well done. The meat had several hard pieces inside of the burger which I know can happen during the grinding process, but nonetheless, I found myself spitting out more of those than I cared to so I did not complete it. The burger I received had cooked onions. The photo showed the onions raw. I prefer raw onions. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mustard. Anything else you desire is an extra charge. I ordered my burger with fries and they were served nice and hot with a side of ketchup. The burger is the reason for a four-star rating rather than a five-star rating. Service: Our waiter was Christian during this visit and he did a wonderful job from start to finish. Tiffany (with the red hair since there are two) stopped by our table to check on us and told us Joey started at Outback when he was 17 and now manages the establishment. That is fantastic! She also mentioned their location has the lowest turnover of the chain, and many employees at this location had worked there 20 years or more. In this day and age, this says so much about Joey and how the team members work together and treat each other. This is an accomplishment this location should be exceptionally proud of and brag up often! I believe what we were told because everyone smiled, was kind and very caring toward the customers. Based on our overall experience, I would recommend this location. Ask lots of questions about the menu to ensure you will receive exactly what you hope to and enjoy your meal! read more

The steak was a decent cut of 9oz filet, the portions on the lobster tail and sweet potato are small $50 for that part. It's been like 15 years since I had a bloomin onion and it was tasty. The star of the show was the bloomin onion $12.99. We had a gift card we needed to use from here and there total for this meal and a serloin and chicken breast was about $136 with tip. The waiter was attentive and even with a crowded restaurant our food came up quickly. Probably won't be back any time soon unless I'm craving that Bloomin onion. read more

Friday, 4/4/2025 - Nice staffs. Our waitress didn't really check in on us. We ran out of water and thirsty. They musta been busy or short staff. I didn't see all the tables filled with people or anything. But it was a typical night. Prime rib was on the dry side. But the rub on the outside of it was good. It was still good even if it was on the the dry side. Pasta with the mini steak and shrimp was good, onion soup was good, ahi and salad was good. We were too full to get dessert. Lots of parking. read more

If there was a 0 they would earn that. I ordered the new Aussie SLICED Steak Sammie. You'll see in the picture what I received versus what I ordered. And there are no cooks the manager herself is cooking the meals when I asked about my sandwich she was like it's the same I cut it and sliced it myself hmm yeah not the same and then she had the audacity to say oh I guess I can take if off your bill ? Are you for real lady? She was rude and argued it was the same and if your food is taking forever it's because the manager is cooking it herself read more

Fantastic New Years Eve dinner! It was about a 20 min wait to sit. Food was hot, fresh and fairly quick to come out for being busy! Service was pleasant also for such a busy night. The steak was great & cooked to order. We don't often eat steak, but when we do this place is a great choice. read more

Most of the food was average to slightly below average. The burger was a little dry, the fried shrimp was mostly breading and bland. The chicken strips were nice and crispy. Some of the fries were crispy and others soft. The side Caesar salad was a little soggy, but overall good (wish there were a bit more croutons). The wings were the star of the meal for us. The sauce was unique and they were crispy. I wouldn't make a point to go out of my way to come here to get wings, but if I come back, the wings are what I am ordering. Our server was fantastic. The atmosphere was very family friendly. *** average food **** above average food. ***** Unique and delicious food. Make the drive. read more

I can't believe I paid $44 for this! Door dashed it. So small. Won't do that again. I don't understand why I have to leave 85 characters to leave a review. The steak wasn't that big. read more

I called ahead and asked if this location was honoring the advertised offer of The Aussie 3 Course Meal. They said YES! When we arrived we were given the menu, there was NO 3 Course Meal on the menu. I asked the server, she gave us a small card with the special on it, and told us it was the only copy they had. They were honoring the deal, but sure promoting it. We felt everyone that wasn't offered the special menu was being deceived! read more

We had anniversary dinner tonight at the Outback. One filet with lobster and one Aussie Chicken with sirloin. The dinners were fine as were all the staff. Our server, Monica, was delightful. She was very quick, sharp, knowledgeable, friendly and cute. We so appreciated her frequent attention and the sundae for our anniversary dessert. THANK YOU, MONICA and Outback. read more

Walking in the hostess was so welcoming, cheerful and accommodating. Our server Christian was beyond helpful when we had somewhat a complicated order. Having a full table of 5 the busser (I didn't get his name) was also making sure to clear our table to make room which I appreciate so much. As we were leaving, which was closer to closing time so it had slowed down, some more staff stopped their duties to not only wish us goodbye but to compliment our family. We have 3 toddlers and having such a friendly attentive staff really makes the dinning experience so much better. We now look forward to going back and becoming regulars. read more

Don't usually eat out on a Friday evening but had a friend visiting. People wanted steak and I wanted potato soup and TRH doesn't have potato soup so we ended up here. We were seated pretty quickly, maybe 10 min if that but service was soooooo sllllooooowww!!! We waited more than an hour for our food after waiting more than 30 min for our bloomin' onion, which was very tiny by the way. Our order was brought out by someone other than our server and was missing an item (side of shrimp) but by the time someone passed that we could alert and then the time that it took to get it was redicz. We had to ask multiple times for refills and condiments and bread, like one little loaf at a time is gonna feed a party of 5 adults. Not sure how much was that this was a Friday night, or our server was particularly bad but definitely doesn't make me want to visit more often. read more

Wow, not too shabby at all for a chain!!! Restaurant was clean and inviting. Service was great during lunch hour on a saturday, and the food was surprisingly tasty! i had the Spicy Jammin Meatloaf, and i couldn't stop stuffing my face until the i licked my plate clean! the fries were also excellent! nice and crispy, perfecto!!! And their honey wheat bushman bread....OMG!!! eyes rolling to the back of my head good!!! Our waitress was very accommodating and pleasant. Answered all our questions, refilled our waters on several different occasions, and gave us everything we asked for in a timely manner! I may just have to head back to another Outback and give their steaks a taste test! read more

Awesome customer service! Our server, Dawn, was great. She did everything she could to ensure a wonderful dining experience. This was our fourth visit here this year and the manager has always made sure to stop by our table to make sure everything was going well. We love their specials for lunch and dinner. I recommend their Aussie Burger and Ahi entree or appetizer. The bar plays nice ambient music and has great servers as well. Their "no rules, just right" was accurate and appreciated. read more

After 8 years , thought we would give it another try....Sorry I did as it is still very bad. steaks served cool vs others who serve sizzling as steaks should be served. I think they PRE-Cook them for a time and then just put back on grill for a second and by the time servers get them to you they are cold!! Never again! read more

Absolute worst customer service ever this night. I sat in the bar. I had three different servers because the first two were so bad that I had to ask for a new one twice I would not suggest this place whatsoever. The food was good. The ambience was terrible parking decent parking. read more

Landy's service was amazing!!! She took great care of us, was very attentive and had a wonderful attitude!

We got take out since we were gifted some gift cards. Website and take out service was good. Blooming onion was greasy and burnt in areas. We both got pastas and they were both bland even with the extra Alfredo. Her shrimp was good. My steak tasted only of whatever they cooked it with (gas/charcoal). We ended up tossing both after several bites. read more

I came here with a co worker for lunch and tried the kingsland pasta with steak and shrimp over fettuccine noodles. I expected more flavor than it had but it was still enjoyable. I couldn't decide which tasted the best between the shrimp, the pasta and the meat. Overall, all okay. The meat was tender though and I couldn't finish the whole thing because of the portions. They are huge ! Our server was courteous and shared their opinions about what food they recommend. Overall, good food and a pleasant experience. read more

Ordered a cobb salad. A plate of lettuce with a sprinkle of cheese, bacon, and egg. Expected a lot more.

We decided to dine out for Valentines this year. Thankfully, we made a reservation (call ahead seating) and arrived to a lobby packed full of people. Despite having a reservation, we waited 20 minutes for a table which was fine. Zack was our server and he was very good. Personable, friendly, got our substitutions correct and did it all with a smile. Honestly, everyone we encountered seemed happy to be there and was very kind. Now onto the food... We both started with their amazing bread and salads. House for me, blue cheese wedge for the hubby. I ordered the 9oz sirloin with a house salad, loaded baked and four large coconut shrimp on the side. I could only eat half so I've got lunch for tomorrow! My steak was cooked to perfection, I added the garlic butter for $2.99 (too much but tasty) and the shrimp were so flavorful with the remoulade. My loaded baked potato was seriously good. Remind me to roll mine in salt at home. Hubby devoured his 16 oz. NY Strip, salad and loaded spud. We had no room for appetizers or dessert but one day I'd like to try both. Bathrooms were clean, parking was plentiful and I love that they accept our AARP card for an additional 10% discount. It had been a while since we'd been to an Outback but we'll be back for sure! read more

Tiffany is easily one of the best server/bartenders in all of Arizona -- not just at Outback Steakhouse! We first met her at the Outback off the I-17, and when that location closed, we didn't hesitate to follow her to the Peoria location. Her warm smile and upbeat energy instantly make you feel welcome. She even remembers our usual order, which always makes the experience more personal and special. Most recently, we called ahead to request a table in her section for a birthday celebration. Not only did she make sure we had a great spot, but she also went above and beyond by decorating our booth with balloons and festive décor. It was hands down one of the best birthday dinners we've ever had -- all thanks to Tiffany's incredible thoughtfulness and care. Tiffany, thank you for making every visit memorable. If you're heading to the Peoria Outback, do yourself a favor and ask for her -- you won't be disappointed! read more

I went with a group of 16 and 5 of us order the sirloin steak. It was so tough I had them take it back and change the order to a ribeye. Two others in the party couldn't eat theirs either. When I was leaving I hear another customer complain about how tough their steak was. I'm wondering if that's what they do to get you to order a more expensive steak. I will not return return to Outback. read more

we had the best experience that started from our hostess.... she sat our family of 7 for lunch with just such a good vibe & revisited our table with a egg hatching platypus toy fir our 3 year old grandson. Our server Monique was on a whole other level. she was attentive, professional, kind and seemed to genuinely love her job in customer service! It made our experience very nice & I would recommend going here for lunch in hopes you get the great combo of our hostess (I apologize for not remembering your name) & Monique... thank you Outback for some great adds to your Aussie team read more

Great coconut shrimp. Service is always good. The decor is plain. I will continue to go here as long as they keep serving coconut shrimp.

I have been in several times in the last 6 months. I have seen the tall dark haired hostess at the bar eating the fruit out of the bar that is going in to the drinks . Just seems a little weird the she is doing that . One night it was olives and again tonight it was cherries. And if you set at the door close to the kitchen all you hear is corner corner all night they should think about putting up a mirror so the waiters could see if anyone is coming out of the door way , read more

French Onion soup is very good. I had the 16 ounce prime rib which I ordered medium but was served closer to medium well to well done. Not too upset by that because it was a good cut of meat and had a great flavor. Next time, which there will be a next time, God willing, I'll order it medium rare and hope for the best. Service was good. read more

Lori our server was so wonderful at her service the best ever I recommend her for everyone

An old Favorite We enjoyed our meals at this neighborhood Outback. Our server was helpful with food and drinks recommendations and made sure our dining expeirence was pleasant. On this visit we ordered the sirloin steaks, baked potato, and soup. The steaks at Outback are always tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, served exactly as requested. We really enjoy Outback and have only had positive experiences. The servers are always attentive, steaks always delicious, and the prices are competitive with similar steak houses. read more

Went in on a Wednesday evening, with a party of 10, waited 25 plus minutes to get our drinks another 20 for apps. No one asked how things were server didn't refill drinks. Food was cold, came out with a plate that was hotter than the food on it. Waited 10 minutes for server to come back he said he will fix it I told him no thanks, that was it, no sorry. Sad honestly, no wonder everyone was at Texas road house. Chump offered me a coupon for a free blooming onion as I left. Told him I won't be back and to keep his coupon. Do yourself a favor go anywhere but outback, hell even McDonald's would have been a better choice. read more

Outback on Grand Ave Surprise AZ: THREE STARS DUE TO PRICES AND NO MORE PORK! Went to Outback in Surprise AZ for the first time in months. We (party of four) were aghast at the prices. And worse for me - they've DISCONTINUED THE FANTASTIC PORK CHOPS. So while they still have beef, chicken and seafood - NO PORK WHATSOEVER?! And told the blame is... SENIOR MANAGEMENT (National?) i.e. Local Outback has no discretion. (Hey - we asked!) Those luscious chops - and admittedly Outback's always excellent, fresh dinner salads - were why I've been happily going to Outback Restaurants across the CONUS and Alaska for at least 30 years. BUT - Saved the BEST for LAST -- SHOUT OUT-PLUS to SUE (Susan) our server. Super-professional, friendly, and provided excellent explanations about menu choices to rival anyone anywhere. 5 STARS for SERVICE! Thanks Sue!! read more
