Outback Steakhouse - Wilted old nasty lettuce AGAIN !!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

You could improve on everything our waiter came by greeted us. We ordered a beverage and an appetizer my mother had questions about the chopped salad of what was all the ingredients in it. He had no clue. He said a bunch of little things that are crunchy, but didn't know anything else waited for a long time, for our appetizer even though we were the only ones in the restaurant and then asked us if we wanted to go ahead and order dinner. It was 2 in the afternoon we told him no, so he brought the check. Never came back to check on us or give us refills on our drinks. The next time he did come back it was to drop off the check then he was frustrated because we didn't pay with credit card and he had to go find change for a $50. never been to this location before this will be the first and the last... read more

Food was really good. Loaded fries were hot and fresh. The wedge salad (my usual) was perfect as the lettuce was crisp. (I've previously had it at another location and it was kind of old) Service was pretty quick as well. I'll be back to this location read more

Sam at the takeout door was amazing! She was so friendly and really helpful as well as very on top of things. I couldn't figure out how to add garlic butter to my steak when I ordered online and she was so nice about making sure I got it. My food was wonderful as well and came out very quickly. read more

Went earlier in week Ahi Tuna very good for lunch. Today, at 3:15, sat us at a table (did not ask bar are or booth/table), waited and waited no service. Young kid serving another table long conversation, three people serving 3 women, taller woman/curly hair taking of two older gents, and totally ignored after being set by the hostess. Not busy, lousy service. We stood up, walked out, not a peep from the staff. Quit Outback years ago. Give them a try this week and now done. read more

The staff is great and the service is excellent. We waited only a few minutes for a table and received plenty of refills. They were shorthanded but one could never tell. The whole team worked together seamlessly. Thank you!!! read more

I typically don't like chain restaurants but I am not going to let a perfectly good gift card go to waste. My sister and I just did curbside pickup and did not actually go into the restaurant. We ordered 2 kids sirloins with broccoli and 2 loaded baked potatoes. 1st I want to shout out Cameron. She answered the phone, took our order and brought our order to the car. She was excellent! Efficient, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. I even changed the order on her on the phone and she went with it. She was great!! We got the food home and devoured it. It was packaged nicely and still hot. The broccoli was perfectly cooked. The steak was a bit overdone but that is okay since it's the kids portion it's suppose to be well done. We asked for medium. It was only 5 ounces but with the broccoli and baked potato and bread it was the perfect amount of food. That bread......delicious!!! We were very happy with the whole experience. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Kids meal....5 ounce sirloin and broccoli. - Steakhouses Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Just had anniversary dinner at this location. I had the filet and lobster. Filet was Pittsburgh style, medium rare, extra seasoning. It was perfect. The Mac and cheese bites were surprisingly tasty. My wife had the filet medium. She also liked it. My daughter had 2 lobster tails. Every entree and side was just as we expected. Service was also very friendly and good. We'll be back. read more

I choose to travel to the other side of Virginia Beach for Outback because I know that no other store compares to the Laskin rd location! from the hosts to the servers, management and just the overall atmosphere! 5 stars plus for this establishment ALWAYS!!! read more

Every time I eat at the outback in hilltop in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I get very sick. Don't know what they're doing to the food but obviously something the services slow they make you wait. They say they're coming back and they don't do not recommend this place. Don't settle for less read more

My boyfriend decided on Outback for dinner when his sister was in town for us all to dine at. This Outback location is alright. It took a while for us to get seated because all of the tables were dirty. Then, once seated, it took 15 or 20 minutes for us to get drinks and bread. The staff was very nice, but I think it turned out that way because there were a few huge tables for a birthday party. I ordered the coconut shrimp and the shrimp pasta, along with a Bloomin' Onion for the table. I'm a big fan of their coconut shrimp. The sauce is tasty and unique. My pasta was a little plain and the shrimp was cooked in a funny way, but overall was pretty good. The Bloomin Onion was tasty, but the sauce tasted odd. My boyfriend got the filet mignon, lobster tail, loaded baked potato, and seasoned rice. He loved his meal. His sister also got the filet mignon but didn't seem to like how it was cooked. Overall our experience was okay. I liked the staff, they were sweet! But the food wasn't that great. I haven't tried Texas Roadhouse yet... maybe I should check it out! read more

As a chain, this is normally a decent restaurant to take family and friends to. However, on this particular visit, anything and everything went downhill quickly. Oh, where to start? Our server... not sure what his name is, black haired lanky guy, anyway is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I ask what seasonal Sam Adams he has and I get a blank stare...uh, oh, not looking good... Takes him twenty minutes just to get our drinks and then maybe another thirty to order actual dinner. When our food finally arrived, it came all at once. Like soups, salads and entrees crowding the entire table. No elbow room. We had to correct our waiter on one order because we got a salad instead of soup. Oh, and did I mention we have no utensils to eat anything with? Takes about another twenty minutes for utensils and by this time, we are out of drinks. Long story short? Not the greatest experience. read more

I don't go to National Brand chain locations very often, but when I'm wanting a cheap steak I usually find myself at Outback or Texas Roadhouse. I go in with expectations managed and usually leave satisfied. When you go to Outback though you've gotta get the bloomin' onion. Many restaurants have copied the dish- I don't even know if it was originally an Outback thing or not, but they do it the best. The sauce they serve with it takes it to the next level. If you're ordering curbside/takeout you may want to skip the bloomin onion unless you have an air fryer to crisp it up a bit when you get home. Every now and then I've gotten some spotty service at this location, but typically my experiences are pretty good. There was even one time when I was "wowed" by the flavors of my meal- usually I'm just happy, full, and satisfied though. If you've been to an Outback before you know what to expect and you get it pretty consistently at this location. read more

Have no idea how this place has bad reviews. Maybe old......the food is always spot on at this location and customer service is literally the best I've ever had at any chain restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered a sirloin steak and a plain hamburger. The steak was seasoned with a hot red peppery powder which burned the tongue and made it impossible to taste the steak. We have dined at Outbacks across the country while traveling and never had a steak with such obnoxious seasoning. Baked potatoes were only lukewarm warm. Hamburger was good. Salads were good. Server was pleasant but requests for refills on beverages and condiments wet fulfilled slowly. We both agreed that we would not be returning to this establishment. read more

It's a chain, but it's reliable when you're wanting an affordable steak cooked at the right temperature. It was busy on a weekend evening; however, there wasn't a wait. I don't think it's fully staffed as there were some wait times when it came to service once you're sat, but they're doing their best, and that's all you can ask for. Our server was friendly and quick when we finally waved him down for a check. We got steaks (of course), and they were cooked at our requested temperatures. Good seasoning and warm. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly amazing. The broccoli needed less time in the steamer, but they were seasoned fine. I like a bite to my broccoli. The french fries were salty, but warm with a solid crunch. That bloomin' onion still tastes as great as my childhood memory. You cannot go wrong with that. Unfortunately the pumpernickel bread wasn't as fantastic as I once remembered, but that could be due to getting spoiled by another chain's pretzel bread hehe. For what it is and what it's worth, this was a great spot to grab a bite at. I can't hate on consistency and kindness. I'll return if I ever weirdly crave an American (er, Aussie?) steak style again. read more

Arrived and had to wait just a short time. The hostess was very nice. The waiter who was also covering the bar, seemed somewhat annoyed. We provided our order and the response was somewhat short from the waiter. I guess it is because everyone is overworked during these Covid times. Overall all the restaurant was clean and the food was good. If I did not have a gift card that I received as a gift I would not have come here. If the atmosphere was more friendly we would come here more often. Not sure this establishment is living up to the Outback friendly standards. The management needs to teach employees that no matter what is bothering them they need to treat every customer with basic kindness and respect. Hope things improve. read more

Ordered for curbside. It was Wednesday afternoon so not too busy but they took 10 minutes to come with my food. I ordered the Kingsland Pasta x4. The guy who brought my food out was nice but when I got home , which is about 5 minutes from the restaurant the food was lukewarm at best. The pasta didn't taste all the way done and was dry. The steak had zero seasoning. Even the salad was jacked up. The best part of the meal were the shrimp. I spent over $100 plus tipped and was not at all satisfied with my meal. read more

For starters, we got a dirty appetizer plate. My daughter asked for sweet tea and it was unsweet tea with sugar at the bottom. Our waiter said "I had to".. I waited 30 mins on a lemonade and our waiter just said "ooh I forgot" .. I ordered a bloomin onion. And then asked for bread twice...my waiter domes back with the bread "you wanted bread" ... I just had a whole conversation with her about it.. i haven't even gotten to order anything yet other than a drink & appetizer and we've been here a hour.. I had to end up asking someone else to get it for us, after multiple other customers got theirs.. I don't know my servers name. But I won't be coming back to this location again. Again I asked for 2 drinks, a appetizer, and a bread which is usually served with every meal.. somehow that was too hard to manage.. I am disappointed... 0 stars Oh let's not forget how long it took for her to cash me out. MIND YOU THIS BUILDING IS NOT BUSY AT ALL.. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Dirty plate - Steakhouses Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Quick dinner as this is one of my boyfriend's favorite places because steak! Friday night during dinner time and it was not too busy. We were seated immediately and our waiter came a few moments later. We ordered from the restaurant week menu (3 courses for $35) and I just ordered from the regular menu. For appetizers, blooming petals and coconut shrimp. The blooming petals were great as expected but the coconut shrimp was sadly a miss, especially for the price of $5.99 (4 shrimp). Not much coconut taste at all, just a shrimp fried with too much batter. Main course for me was the chicken sandwich, which was great! I'm thankful I was able to get it without the buffalo sauce because the special ranch served with it was more than enough! It had a nice crisp to it and the buttery bread made it even more delightful. The fries were okay, but I liked them. The only downside to this trip was how long the wait was for the food (longer than expected) and that we didn't get our dessert for the 3 course meal! The kitchen was slower than expected that even our check made it to us before our dessert could even make it. Wasn't too excited for the single dessert option they had, but it would have been nice to get our money's worth. 3.5 rounded down to 3 stars. read more

Never got service: Staff wouldn't even acknowledge us, much less wait on us. The sad thing is I told my husband, since we had a long week we should go to a familiar favorite, instead of trying a new local restaurant. We've been coming to outback since our early dating years. I understood that they were busy, but they intentionally did not even acknowledge our existence. Not even a hello, we will be with you shortly, or hi, let me see who your server is. No one even looked over and shot us a smile. Oh well, your loss; we are excellent tippers. Overall just really disappointed, not mad, just disappointed we have to stop patronizing a staple restaurant like Outback. read more

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! The food had no flavor, the cheese fries definitely tasted like they were microwaved, the alcohol beverage took FOREVER to come out (our food came out before we got the beverage) and the beverage tasted like syrup.The burger had no flavor, the shrimp were way too hot/spicy to eat/enjoy. The waitress (Courtney H) was not good either. She didn't ask if our food was good it obviously wasn't good because most of it was still on the plates. She didn't even ask why we didn't like it or anything. She took forever getting anything for us. The honey mustard is absolutely disgusting. The food and service was absolutely terrible. The menus were also dirty too. Just horrible.Not coming back! read more

I ordered to go. Everything went smoothly. That's where you earned your first star. You earned 2 more stars for my prime rib sandwich . The meat was tender, and there was a good amount on my sandwich. But you lost a star because my husband was a little jealous because he didn't have as much meat on his sandwich. It was very skimpy. Technically, for the last item that we ordered, a bowl of Tasmanian steakhouse chili, you should lose all of your stars. I'm very disappointed in how small a bowl is. I actually measured it and it wasn't even the equivalent of one cup. That bowl of chili is nine dollars and we didn't even get six spoonfuls. I called to complain and was told ,this is the new size of to go bowls. Well, if you're gonna make the bowl smaller, maybe you should bring the price down. I feel sorry for people that just order a bowl of chili for dinner. You're going to be left hungry.. So I promise you, I will never be going back to Outback steakhouse. There's too many other places to choose from. And to think with a tip I spent $60. Money doesn't grow on trees. If you want to put out high prices , GREAT! At least make sure you fill someone's belly and they leave w/ a smile.. guess I'll get my chili from somewhere else and my steak too read more

Pitiful, weak and lame. Arrived greeted and seated. Then presented with a picturesque set of menus which we ordered and waited. Fresh salads came with a teaspoon of dressing hidden beneath the greens. The greens were fresh and not stale or limp. Steaks came next with French fries on a white plate and nothing else--no parsley or anything. Optics? Forget about it, Upon cutting into my steak, I found it tough. The mouth test confirmed what the knife had revealed. Yes chewy and all the seasonings and salt could not extract any flavor. Quality has taken a dive. Please don't use tired old milk cows; try beef cattle instead. The fries were coated in salt, and tasted more like the box they came in rather than a real potato. Frozen fries at this price is ridiculous. Get your act together. The bloom is off the onion. read more

Yes, it is a chain and I like it! There were only two cars in the parking lot, so we went inside. It was good. I like dining with a minimum amount of people. They had a margarita flight and it was so good; blackberry, mango, watermelon, and original. Steak was good and hubby had chicken. Of course, we will return. read more

We had a great experience at Outback. We like their new computer system because it allows the server to interact more with the customers. Our server, Madison, was very friendly and attentive. We always get the filet and it was perfect. We will definitely be back. read more

Clayton was a great server and our food was great. The ambiance was fantastic. We enjoyed it.

Over 15 minutes to get bread and drinks. Place is active, but not busy. I asked about the old Outback Special that has been deleted from the menu, and the waiter insisted I was wrong, and started shoving a specials menu at me. Had to get the manager to answer a simple question. House salad with Ranch....cannot even taste the dressing. Butter was enough to dress two pieces of bread, had to ask for more. Ten minutes have passed, no one has been by, checked on us or seen if things were ok. Oh, wow! Someone just came up. 8 minutes to get some dressing!! This place has the worst customer assistance EVER! I see why it is so empty on a Friday night! 37 minutes since we got here. No good 40 minutes. Food arrived. Ordered medium rare. Steaks rare and cold. Smallest 8oz and 12oz steaks I have ever seen. Ten minutes later. Steaks return. Wife's is fine. Mine is burnt on one side, medium temp. I ordered medium rare. This place is unbelievable! Manager took plates back; manager was very nice and apologetic, waiter acted as if nothing mattered. You can guess his tip! To sum it up, worst experience ever at an Outback and I have been eating her since they opened in this market in the 80s. Will stick with Providence Road from here on. At least their food is cooked and presented properly'. Or, better yet it's back to Texas Roadhouse in Chesapeake. They definitely know how to cook and get orders right. UPDATE: Mgr came over and said he was comping our meal because of the issues. It's been ONE HOUR since we place the orders, and I STILL don't have my steak! read more

Alex provided excellent service. Food and drinks were great and quickly served! Had a couple of beers, along with the cheese and steak dip appetizer, and finished with the sirloin lunch. The restaurant looked great and clean! Thank you very much! read more

The service we had recently was great. Our server was awesome! If I was a pregnant waitress, I'd probably be too tired and complaining about my feet. We didn't have to ask for refills, extra bread, and she made sure our orders were correct. The food was great and when we requested boxes for leftovers she packed them for us right before us like they do in some restaurants. Love this!! read more

Terrible service. Had to give our order 3 times and it still came out cold and incorrect. This is the absolute WORST Outback experience I've ever had and I've been eating at outback for 15+ years now. Waiter was totally lost. Kitchen couldn't grill a steak I'd their lives depended on it. Asked 5 or 6 times for a glass of water which never came. They totally missed an order of Mac and cheese for my nephew after we asked for it 4 times. The worst part is the restaurant was barely even filled. This Outback needs to shape up or close down. read more
