I want to give a huge shout out to all of the employees and customers that were at this restaurant last night. My brother had a cardiac emergency and the staff handled it with professionalism and calm. Customers jumped in to do cpr until help came. Because of all of you, my brother is still alive today. read more

My boyfriend and i came here on October the 16th to celebrate my birthday. For a Tuesday the restaurant was overly an empty. I think they're was about 3 or 4 tables they're. We're thinking great it'll be fast service. We started off with blooming onion and asked for ranch on the side. When it came there qas no Ranch. We click the little ringer button on the tablet and within 8 minutes our server came back with a ranch. I ordered the Alice Springs Chicken, literally the whole reason why I came in. Its amazing if you had not tried it my bf ordered on one the stake plates. I would say probably about an hour later we received our food with no silverware REALLY. So we waited about 10 minutes bored so we're examining our food and there was a BLACK STRIGHT HAIR in my boyfriend's food. I have red hair and he has long curly black hair so there's no way it could have been ours. By the time our server got back to her table the food was cold and our appetites were completely lost. After waiting over an hour at this establishment we decided we really didn't want to wait any longer. Kinda ruined my birthday and a night and I don't think I will be coming back to this establishment. read more

I was really disappointed in my meal they changed the pasta dish it take like premade frozen dinner and they are charging so much for it. they lost a customer I will never go there again to expensive and low quality. read more

Went here the other day. I've never been to Outback and I must admit that I gave my friend the "side eye" for the suggestion! I'm a vegetarian going to a steakhouse and a chain steak restaurant at that! But "allegedly" they had this onion thing that I just "had to try". Our waiter was cute, attentive and made great suggestions. The bread was actually really good and on this day they were giving out a free Bloomin' Onion per table! Ok ,so the onion thing was surprisingly good, a little greasy, but good. I ordered the chicken artichoke flatbread sans chicken with a side order of sweet potato. My friends had the soup of the day (potato) and the Aussie chicken Cobb Salad sans bacon. We all liked our food and everything was cool. read more

I drove there to place a take out order and ordered one "bowl" of clam chowder soup and one "cup" of clam chowder. The "bowl" was $7.49 and the cup was $5.99. When I got home, the two containers were the exact same size. When I called, I was told that they only fill the cup in half vs. fill to the top for the bowl. They were both the same size. I do not recommend ordering take out from them. They should have explained that to be when I picked up. Very disappointed in Outback bc we frequent that location often. read more

The food is hot and fresh and the service is usually great! My only "complaint" is that the Bloomin' Onion has shrunk significantly . It's literally half the size if not smaller than what it use to be. All in all if that's my worse experience while dining here at Outback, then all is well with the world! Tempe location is great! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Bloomin' Onion - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

See all

I am giving it three to be fair because it is a chain and, just like Ponderosa, we cannot compare this to upscale dining. That is a different race. My friend had a Groupon and works over here so we went. I had a light beer and wings and they were barely edible. But who am I to judge. My friend got a steak dish and reported it was okay. This is one of those places for out of towners and older folks who don't like to wander off the bland path of life. If you are these people, enjoy yourselves. Personally, I will never be back, free or not. Oh, great KID FRIENDLY place!!! This is where you can safely bring your children. Here. read more

The quality of the food at this location has gone downhill. The blue cheese chopped salad, which is usually crisp and refreshing before the heavy steak and potatoes, was over-dressed. This caused the shredded lettuce and crispy fried noodles became a glob of wilted mushy goo. It's particularly disappointing because the salad costs $2 extra and only half was edible. Also the server steered me away from the creamed spinach (he stated it gets sent back a lot), but left that nasty salad in front of me instead of taking it away. Most places will take away the offending half eaten dish and I found staring at the salad for the rest of my meal unappetizing. read more

Zero stars - ordered medium and the steak was served near raw. They could t get it right even on the 2nd chance.

Had dinner at this Outback celebrating my son's birthday while visiting from Dallas. The steaks were well prepared and our server was top notch. We were well taken care of and really enjoyed our visit. The check in on Yelp netted us a Bloomin Onion which is a favorite appetizer. Ordinarily, I prefer Texas Roadhouse to Outback, especially in Dallas, however, this was the best Outback experience in a while. If other Outbacks are stepping up their game and providing this quality of steaks, they will definitely be worth another look. Well done Outback in Tempe. We will likely be back during our next visit. read more

The service was not good she wasn't checking on us. One of the steak wasn't done how we ask for it we ask for well done came back medium, the bake potato wasn't cook right And then my friend n i got really sick after our meal it mess go with our stomachs that has never happen to me plz check ur meats. read more

This last experience was ok I gave this location four starts because the servicer was ok. However, the food was excellent. Our steaks were absolutely perfect. I have been to several outback's across the west and have never had a steak this good from outback. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Love their bread - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

There were many steak houses to choose from in the Old Scottsdale area, and after researching on Yelp, we picked this Outback. I have to say, this is one of the nicest Outback Steakhouses we have visited. Some of them have a kitchy feel to them, capitalizing on the Australian theme to a fault. This location feels like a traditional steak house, classy decor, appropriately dim lighting, and nice wood tones everywhere. We were sat in the bar area, with plenty of viewing choices to watch the NFL football game on. Not distracting, just nice. Our hostess was working very hard, and had us sat at a nice table in less than 5 minutes. I watched here before and during our meal...this girl works HARD! She was bussing and cleaning tables like a pro, greeting and smiling whenever new customers walked in the door. What a great employee! My bad for not catching her name... On to the meal. My dad ordered prime rib with Aussie fries and steakhouse mac n' cheese. His 12 oz portioned prime rib was huge! Perfectly prepared to medium rare, he was very happy navigating his way around this slab o' beef! My petite filet was perfectly cooked, accompanied by a nice side of the steakhouse mac n' cheese. So good! I also had a nice wedge salad before my entree was delivered, chilled and topped with plenty of bleu cheese and rings of red onions. Fantastic! We rounded out our dinner with a nice wedge of raspberry slathered topping...chilled to perfection and light and fluffy with every bite. All in all a really great meal. One nice touch of this establishment is the wounded combat veteran/Purple Heart recipient parking...really nice touch Outback! We will be back! read more

Came in today for dinner and all the staff was so kind. The manager approached us saying it was his first day at this location and he was so excited to make us feel welcome and enjoy our dinner. My boyfriend ordered the Aussie JAWZie cocktail which came with a toy shark filled with grenadine to pour and act as the "blood" to the fun shark themed cocktail. We wouldn't have known this, but the bartender came over to make a show out of our drink which was very sweet. They seem to be under new management with several new staff members who all were so welcoming and kind :) read more

Do not go to this place. The service is terrible. I was seated and waited for 15 minutes to be served to get a drink or something and nobody came. The waitresses kept passing by and looking at us three of them. I finally got up after 15 minutes and left told the manager what had happened and all he said was, where were you sitting instead of apologizing and asking us to stay. I also sent them an email on their website never heard nothing back. They truly do not care what their customers think stay away from this place. read more

Our Mac and cheese came out cold. My salad had a different taste I wasnt use to but they made up for it by replacing the Mac and giving me Asparagus instead of my salad. Thank you read more

My favorite steakhouse; wonderful clean & Friendly Environment;always satisfied With plentiful portions! read more

Twice in a 5 week time period. Received phenomenal service. Very prompt, assertive and positive attitudes. Customer service gets 5 stars. Our server was Jordan. read more

Its like this: 30+years ago I used to get out of school (ASU) and come to this very spot, have a loaf of bread, and a drink and relax. I came tonight, with fond memories - most of which were dashed after I ate. The food is ~great~. You can't park up front, unless you purport to be a "vet-ren" and the bar was filled with old coots. The bartender was wonderful. The customers, who clearly are long haulers, don't give a rat's a** about issues like PTSD, and to call it clickish is like calling a volcano kinda warm. This obviously encouraged by the manager. I came in hoping for a relaxing nostalgic evening, and I couldn't wait to get the he** out of there. I can't believe the place is still there. read more

Ordered a 13oz ribeye rare for curbside and got this. Not a ribeye, it's a sirloin, and not rare. How can a steakhouse be so bad at steak? read more

Outback Steakhouse - Ordered a rare ribeye for curbside, got an overcooked sirloin. - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I guess burned food is on the menu for tonight. Ordered appetizers of mushrooms, ribs, and onion blossom. Onion blossom was good but the ribs were over cooked and barely sauced and mushrooms were burned. However, I took the mushrooms back and Felicia tried to fix it( she was very nice). read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

First the coco shrimp are delicious! The house salad with blue cheese is the freshest and tastiest I have had in years! The garlic mashed potatoes were unmatched The best part of the meal was the medium rare Victorias filet. The best steak I have tasted. the vegetables were also fantastic! This place is very good and is very consistent. You can't go wrong here. read more

This place is okay compared to other steak places. If you join their website and e-mail list, you can get some great deals or coupons. I like to come here when a nascar driver wins a race because you can sometimes get a free appetizer. When I come, I usually get steak, but I don't find it as flavorful as other steak places that have it for the same price. I also did not find their lobster tail that flavorful either. The couple of times I ate here with friends, my steak did not come out how I ordered. I usually order a medium rare, and they make it medium. However, I do believe they have the best blooming onion though! That is very flavorful, but make sure you share with someone as it has alot of oil and salt. The service in this location is great though! read more

Updating this review to add that their to-go and online ordering is really good. I place my order online, pay at the restaurant, and the food is always ready when they say it will be ready. And they've never screwed up my order and I've used the online ordering service like 3 times. Will continue to order my steak dinners here! oh and plus if you place an order on Wednesday night you can get a 6 oz steak, salad, side, AND dessert for like $12.99. that's an amazing deal. read more

Always a great experience at this Outback! Even after moving to central Phoenix, we drive to this location because it never fails. Timely service, friendly faces, and the food is always prepared to perfection. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Our server was great. This has no reflection on him. I forget his name but he had long hair in a pony tail & was awesome. The food: my caesar salad had little to NO dressing & my steak wasn't seared on the outside - it was BURNT. The blooming onion was burnt as well & the "volcano shrimp" we're meh. My advice: Fire or reprimand the cook. He clearly doesn't care about the food he serves & the poor servers .. read more

We ordered the Blooming Onion and it was half the size it normally is plus it was really well done almost black and had a burnt taste. The wing were large but again burnt, I think they were using old oil. The Alice Spring chicken breast was ok nothing special. I was so disappointed, I have always like Outback but this was bad. No drinks and the bill was $54.00. read more

Today we dined in for lunch, Brandon was our server. If that was his name it could be frank or Bob or jim, any of which are acceptable. I would have to say that his service was bar none top notch, some of the best service I've ever had. This guy deserves a raise or promotion, he maybe the only reason I return. Food on the other hand was not super stellar. I ordered a burger during lunch, with cheese, that was so over cooked it was almost unpalatable. Not only was my burger dry and bland it arrived without cheese slathered in mustard, all of which would be fine if the burger was cooked to order and somewhat juicy. everything else at the table seemed acceptable including the soup, salad and other meals, sadly the burger was my only letdown. I'm so excited that outback has started serving lunch however coming in on my lunch hour to A 15 minute wait isn't what I expected. We were told at the door that they were short on servers which was the reason for our wait. The restaurant was clean the servers were friendly I will definitely give them another try but I won't be trying another hamburger from the outback in Tempe a.k.a. cheeseburger.. Bravo Brandon service top-notch thanks again. read more

I've been here about 10 times...every single time it is the absolute worst service :/ Seems they never have enough staff. Just expect to wait for everything An update: I immediately got a response from corporate apologizing for the lack of quality service. They sent a cute drink and cookies called "Tim-Tam", apparently the Australian version of s'mores...as well as a free appetizer. I greatly appreciate the prompt response and effort to make it right! Very impressive for such a large company to make such a personal effort! I love Outback and will never give it up, maybe will just visit a new location. Thank you Outback, it is very much appreciated read more

We don't get to come here often but they are so great here. Paige is a fantastic server, we never ran out of bread! read more

Outback Steakhouse - French onion soup! - Steakhouses Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My wife and I are crazy for a really delicious french onion soup which we either pair with completing a meal for her or just adding another appetizer to share between us. It took them a few minutes longer than we'd have liked to get us going with water & such, but once we were "actively on their radar" well my oh my oh... my...their service did the talking and their food .... DID THE ROARING!! My wife and I are quite nearly OBSESSED with french onion soup & have driven surprising distance for good ones, BUT....MY WIFE AND I BOTH FEEL THE SAME WAY ...THIS IS LIKELY IN THE TOP TWO OR THREE WE'VE EVER EATEN!! It is insanely delicious and hits all of the flavor perfections you could dream of & my wife shares my one and only "complaint": why is my bowl empty!! Very nearly flawless in every possible way, reasonably priced especially for the quality you get, and, after a few minutes delay to get service going, AA+ service and marvelous attitude shown us by: wait staff: Skyler, Collin and Manager Tim. The food, more than that, the entire dining experience, was one of our best in an amazingly long time. We will return every two weeks or more often. It merits all of it. We suggest you do so as well. And do yourselves a special treat and enjoy that manna known as their french onion soup. And no, neither of us has been "comped" in any manner for this. read more

Peterson doing the work was wonderful. Service was good. Food was so-so. We got steaks of course, bloomin onion, aussie fries. I do not understand why they have to ruin a good steak with a ton of pepper seasoning. If you do not like pepper stay away. I scraped as much of the seasoning off and there was still too much. The bloomin onion needed to be cut better to be able to eat. Aussie fries were soggy but tasty. Overall , too much seasoning on the steaks. If we had been able to eat in I would have returned it. read more

We Have Been Regulars at Several Outbacks Usually By Where We Live. For Years Went ATO Scottsdale Location Because it Was Near The Harkins There. Never Had a Problem. Then We Moved & We Were Near PV Mall & There is A Outback There. Never Had A Problem There. Now for this Location..We Moved to Tempe 2 Years Ago. (Downsized To Save for Retirement ) Regardless We Tried The Tempe Location on Southern & We Have Had A Few Little Issues Nothing Huge Steak Over Cooked Once Another Time Under Cooked They're Good About Making it Right. This last Visit However We Were Hugely Disappointed. Went For Steak Lobster Special Menu Pricing Not The Same As National Ad. Sorry But That Just Stinks. Outback Needs 2 Honor The Price Or Print A Disclaimer On Menu. **We Are A Franchise So Therefore We Charge You More**. I Think That's Sad. We Ordered As We've had Decent Meals On This Special In Vegas on Strip Was Excellent. ( For Years ) Must Be A Company Store As Meals Were Consistent!! My husband Ordered The Filet Because The Order Had More Sides The Picture On Menu looked Like The Filets I have Had At Other Restaurants (. *& Served I Worked For Del Frisco Prime Morton's Steakhouse & Brenner's Prime in Houston One Of First Prime Steakhouses In Nation) The Steak He was Served Was A Hockey Puck. Looked Just Like There House Sirlion. So We Asked ...& Waitress While Nice Just Said That's Our Filet I Had Decided To Order The Feast With Crab Cakes & Lobster. They Were Burnt On One Side & Dry on Inside. And The Lobster Was a Two Bite Mystery As in Where Did They Find A Lobster This Small ?? I have had Lobster At The Keg, Red Lobster, Mortons, Ruth Chris Harrah's Buffet & Never Saw Such Small Lobster. You Would have Thought We Were at Golden Corral!! I Asked 4 Manager Before Eating As I Was Disgusted At This Point ( & My Husband was Served Before I Was...& Yes I Mean They Brought His Entree Meal Before Mine...by 5-10...Mins The Time Was Not On Our Side As It Was Sunday Night & Husband Has Early Work Time. So I Did Eat The Meal Although I Would Have Ordered The Ribeye Over The Crappy Seafood Meal With Baby Lobster. They Did Bring Another Lobster Slightly Bigger (But Didn't Offer One To My Husband Who's Was As Small) Let's Not Exceed Expectations For Crying Out Loud. My Husband Said As Disjointed As The Meal Service Was We Just Spent $70 On A Mediocre Meal We Should Have Gone To Boston Market & Got Decent Meal at Much More Reasonable Price. If You Screw Up Someone's Meal & It's Been Brought To Your Attention That Should Be A Flag Respecting Guests Comments. I Wasn't Trying To Get A Free Comp or I Would Have Started Talking Much Louder. Kissing But Seriously..I just Wanted Something Close 2 What I Thought We Ordered. Guess We Need To Check New Location As While This One Is Close it's Not Worth The Aggravation. By The Way MANAGER & Management- You should Always So More Than Just A Little if Customer Has Taken Time To Address Your Short Comings- Many People Just Mumble To Each Other & Don't Ever Come Back. As A Manager I Always Did What Was Right Plus Offered Either A Free Dessert Or If They Didn't Want Dessert Offer Taking Off / Example $10 Number One Meals Were Severed Separately By 5-10 Minutes. Lobsters Are Supposed To Be A Treat Not A Baby Bite. Don't Offer The Special Without Disclosing The Pricing. We Are Not Planning on Going Back 2 This Location My Husband Has A Short Fuse But Won't Address It I don't Mind Speaking Out Because a Squeaky Wheel Don't Get Oil Without Attention! Next Time We Will Plan A Trip To The Keg Or Another Restaurant SOMETHING Wrong Here. The Party Of 6 With Kids Next To Us Waited Forever As Well. I Know it's Hard To Get Good Help But Don't Overlook Your Customers. Can't Imagine What It Would Be Like on A Busy Night!! By The Way We Still Gave 20% To Server Because it Wasn't Her Fault It's Obviously The Kitchen Staff. Not Being Mean But After 20 Years In F&B Can't Help But Notice. read more

First time trying Outback's in Arizona Place was not crowded yesterday, Saturday night, We made reservations just Incase it was full on Mother's Day weekend. The atmosphere is romantic The service was decent. There was a girl there being mean to our server about him cleaning up his area. Although she may be right, belittling and Talking to another employee like that around customers is very unprofessional, even though you were right, you looked like a total bitch. Our server very nice, got our order correct and had all our food out timely. The food was Amazing ! I had the bone in rib eye, garlic butter on top, steamed broccoli and side of sautéed mushrooms. --I don't recommend the mushrooms way to much Cooking wine in it, tasted like pure alcohol. Maybe cook it in garlic butter, garlic and some Salt. The ribeye was cooked perfectly. Ordered medium and it came out perfect. The mash potatoes where decent portioned. Bartender did amazing at making my Jameson and cokes. Not to much and not to Little of alcohol. Overall great experience. We will be back. read more
