The service was great but it could not make up for the food. Started out with a blooming onion, and apparently the oil was not hot enough because it was just super greasy. My Caesar salad was totally lacking in flavor. French onion soup was good really good. We were in a large party and everyone got steak. The steaks were so tough that literally out of six people only one person could eat their steak. The quality of the meat has gone downhill and it just isn't edible. The manager offered to cook more steaks, but it was bad enough where we didn't even want that. We had some very happy fur babies all week. They got the steak. The staff really did do a great job and I felt bad for them because they really don't have much control over the quality of the food. If outback is going to buy such crappy meat, then they should really tenderize the heck out of it. The meat could also use a little seasoning. read more

I love ordering from Outback and driving up to pick it up. Food is always good. Cook like I want it. And usually the person bringing it to my car is very nice. Today my food was excellent and so was the curb service! Aly was super sweet. She took my AARP discount card and my gift card to go inside and get my total. I told her that I would like to just use it all up and give her what's left as a tip. She explained to me how it worked. I gave her the tip of just over $5.50. and I also told her that I really appreciated how kind she was. Sometimes younger people are ruder to older people than they need to be. That's not the case with Aly! She was delightful and very polite and I certainly appreciated her! read more

Total disappointment. The entire seating in the bar area is empty the restaurant is semi crowded. But not bad. I ask to sit in a small booth that's around the bar area but not the bar so I can watch tv and get a meal this is the closest location for 65 miles. And the hosts say they have no wait staff the manger just looks at me and doesn't say a word. Like there goes business out the door and I'll never go back again. Just sad. I'm a paying customer and would give a very good tip to the server. But they can't sit me in a small table cause no servers. Unacceptable and disgraceful. Avoid them at all costs. Cause the management couldn't even say two words to me. read more

We visit Outback about every couple of weeks particularly on Saturdays when Joe works the Bar area. I can't point to the best choices when everything from Samon to steaks to incredible burgers are all prepared and served perfectly and in a timely fashion. You can't go wrong coming to this franchise location between Stephen's City and Winchester. Correction, Salmon. read more

Waited 15miutes for a table then they offer us a high top one , my sister is handicap , but we took it because she said it'll be at least 15 more minutes !! I got 1/2 rack ribs fries and veg , they brought me rice instead , when I dont them they brought me fries that where cold as my meal , the only warm thing on the plate when the brought it to me was the rice ,,, even my sisters shrimp meal was cold ,,, the soda tasted like there is dirt in the lines !!!! read more

Delmonico steak was tough as leather and it was cooked medium...Salad and potato were excellent...Longhorns here I come!!!

First time using order pickup. Used app to place order. It was an easy and awesome experience. Food was fantastic!!! read more

I am a disabled combat veteran with PTSD. I cant deal with big groups of people. I use to go to Outback during the week to avoid large crowds. I only order the Prime rib. But, since they are now only available during the busiest times, I havent set foot in Outback since. And wont go anymore. Texas roadhouse and every other steakhouse offers prime rib all the time. So, I have no need to go to Outback anymore read more

This was my first order to go! when I arrived to pick up order, the waitress immediately came out to car to receive my payment. The order was ready promptly and the food was delicious. read more

Great service great food order always correct. customer service is always pleasant and always helpful with everything and every question

Love stopping in here for something quick. Staff is awesome. Food is always fresh and you get a lot for what you pay. The place can get a little crowded so you gotta go at the right time. read more

Food is always on point! They deliver in the time frame they say. If there's a problem always willing to fix it and make it right!

Food was seasoned well and meat was tender. Salad was fresh. Server was very nice and accommodating.

First time I've ordered a steak with seasoning on the side. Mistake they not only put MORE salt on the steak it was almost impossible to eat but being hungry i ate half. When the waitress came by to see how everything was, we were done at this point. Told her I asked for the seasoning on the side her commit was I don't cook only serve it. WOW maybe check on your table after they tried a bite or two. Never been a waitress before.EDIT. They don't answer there reviews AI does !!! read more

We haven't been to an Outback in years but had a gift card to use. What a disappointment compared to how we remembered it. Service was flat and slow, drink order was incorrect, the bread was room temperature and tasted stale and fake. Portions have shrunk and the prices have gone way up. I don't think we will return. I can do much better at home. read more

Friendly, prompt service and well cooked meals. They have a steak and mate menu that is very tempting. I tried the steak and blooming shrimp and it was delicious. Will try to make it back to Outback soo. To try some of the other meals on this menu. The three cheese steak dip is a must try appetizer. I've had it about 3 times now and it has never disappointed. As always I ordered some kookaburra wings to go. Those are the best wings around right now. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak 'N Mate combo of 8oz sirloin and bloomin shrimp with loaded baked potato amd broccoli - Steakhouses Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Ate at the Winchester, VA Outback last night for dinner and it was the best meal my husband and I have ate in months. The food was delicious and the service was great as well. Dana was our waitress and she was wonderful. read more

We went here on a Saturday. It was very busy, but we were sat very quickly and the waitress was very attentive. Our food arrived quickly and the steak was done just right. I always ask for the creamy horseradish and generally have to remind them when I get my steak. This Tim the waitress remembered. The boomarita was delicious as was everything in the meal. Just wish it was closer to my house, so i could go more often. read more

Typical Outback, crowded, noisy, and you get the bums rush for them to turn tables. Although this location was worse than others I have tried, and they have been considerable over the years. Ordered the large ribeye, medium rare. I was amazed at what a poor cut of meat that I was served. It was very tough with lots of gristle. It's possibly the worst that I have ever had at an Outback. Just bad luck...well...this is the second time it occurred at this location. I expressed my displeasure to my server, who apologized but took no further action as did the first one. I did not ask for a manager, and yes, I know that I should have. After this second bad experience, I decided to try another fast food steak house, and I'm very glad I did. I have found that Longhorn Steakhouse has superior service and far superior cuts of meat. Sorry Outback Steakhouse...we won't be coming back...it's been a long run, but you have been replaced read more

The service here is consistently good. Of course the food is standard Outback food as it is a chain. One thing of note is that the cooks do know how to cook steaks. My wife likes her steak rare and she even explains to the server how rare and each time it has come out just as she asked. I like mine medium rare and they have been just right. As most of you are aware, they serve pumpernickel bread, which we really like. I'm not sure if they have changed how they make the bloomin onion, but as of late they have been very good. For a time they tended to be undercooked and oil. Granted, it's still fried, so there will be some oil, but it is much better now. read more

This is closer to a 2-1/2 stars primarily because our server was so good. We only stopped here because we rolled into town a little late and the only other options close by were Italian and it was a little to late in the evening for so many carbs. I ordered the Blooming Burger which was cooked well but for crying out loud, tone down the seasoning Outback. Don't get me wrong, I usually complain that place don't season food enough but Outback goes overboard and it's the same seasoning on everything. My wife had the small 6 oz sirloin which she said was pretty good. Our server was fantastic but beer prices are ridiculous. read more

We went out back last night in Winchester and I ordered the Prime Rib, it didn't come out as I ordered it, which happens, no biggie. However, when she took it back and then the manager, of course brought me out a new one, it was mostly fat which never happens with Prime Rib. I know he did that on purpose because I had sent the first one back! Nasty... But I wasn't going to return the second one because who knows what would have been on my next one LOL will never go back to that Outback in Winchester Virginia. This one star is raiding the manager and the prime rib, not the wait staff... The waitress was very accommodating and very sweet but was still never go back to that Qutback read more

Words cannot describe the level of satisfaction that happens when completing a meal of their very excellent ribeye done medium well. As an addition, I had the baked potato and the house salad. Wonderful. We have tried two other steakhouses (Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn) and they don't hold a candle to Outback. Tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. And Lauren was friendly, helpful and efficient. Couldn't have been a more perfect experience. I'll be back. read more

We have been going to Outback Steak house for years, but like all chain restaurants they seem to cheapen the product and loose their way. Remember bonanza, rustlers and many others, Tonight we had strawberry lemonade, tall Sam Adams with baked potato soup and side salad .Also the plates are very small and no place to put rib bones??? Entrees were Ribs and loaded baked potato and s prime rib steak sandwich. The baked potato soup was too gluey, The ribs were very small portion and way too sweet.The rib sandwich was I guess like a French dip ,the au jus was onion soup?The horseradish cream was tasteless and oddly sweet.My $15 sandwich was also so soggy because the onion soup au jus had spilled over the whole plate.Pretty difficult to eat and not enjoyable.Somebody in the kitchen is cutting corners and it shows.With this experience I'm wondering if I'll go back? Maybe just go to Texas Road house. read more

I have come to this outback steakhouse many times while living in Virginia. My son's 21st birthday we celebrated at this very restaurant! Outback of course has its wonderful selection of steaks my favorite being the Victoria filet! My normal routine was always to sit at the bar order my Victoria fillet and a martini! Great service and great experiences each and every time I went to this location read more

Tonight I placed a curbside pickup order on line at Outback Steakhouse, Kernstown Commons, Winchester, VA, and was pleasantly surprised when I got home with my order! I'm picky when it comes to having my steak well done, with no pink. The sirloin steak was perfect! Even though it was cooked the way I wanted it, it was still nice and juicy and easy to cut and chew. The baked potato was also quite nice. The broccoli was steamed to perfection, melted in your mouth! I did call the restaurant once I started eating to give them a compliment and make sure they shared that compliment with the person preparing the food. I like to give credit where credit is due and not always just put a review of complaining. It's nice to let people know when they've done a great job! I do have to say, when I get carry out at Outback, it is always very nice. This time just seemed exceptional! I truly enjoyed the meal! read more

I had the best experience at Outback Steakhouse the Manager was absolutely awesome.I would like to recognize Hope for her kindness and so professional about her job.Hopes kindness will bring me back more Thank you so much Hope for all your help and kindness it meant so much to me .

Hey Outback, when it's an extremely busy night and your waiting area is full AND there's a ton of people outside waiting as well maybe it's best to not have your busers sitting at dirty tables having conversations with each other. And I'm not talking about just a couple minutes to catch their breath. No, two of your employees were sitting maybe 20+ minutes just not giving a crap. There were two more table right near them that also needed to be cleaned and others throughout the restaurant while many people waited for a table. My family was supposed to get a table at 7:15 (according to checking in online) and we weren't seated until after 8pm. This is probably why. Not good business. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Employees not doing their job - Steakhouses Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Never have my partner and I been treated like family like we are at Outback Steakhouse in Winchester. We've been there so many times the servers know us by name, and we remember their names as well. We have so many favorite servers we don't know who to pick when we dine in. No matter who we pick, the others always make a point to come over and say hello. Tonight was no exception. My partner and I decided on Outback for dinner immediately after his back surgery. Of course he was in pain after surgery, but he was hungry for some French Onion Soup. Something simple. I on the other hand, wanted steak and lobster. HAHA! Our dinner was great, as it always is. Of course the servers made a point to see how my partner was doing after his surgery. Even the property's general manager sat with us while we ate, her company was appreciated and enjoyed. So a big heartfelt "thank you" to Hector, Delores, Jordan, Dana, Shawn, Lauren, Sarah, Allie, Chris, Marquet, Lilly, Grady, Daniel, and Curtis for taking a few moments to always come to our table and check on us. My apologies if I've forgotten anyone! I'm sure we'll be back again in a day or two. :-) Chris & James read more

Service was on point. Food was hot and promptly prepared. We were on a schedule to catch a movie and didn't feel rushed at all

Poor quality steaks, looks like Outback Steakhouse has fallen from grace. It's so sad to witness a once great restaurant chain losing their way due to Corporate upper management's lack of interest to serve a quality steak their focus is on the bottom line. Longhorn steak house is the absolute the best restaurant to receive quality steak's with high quality server's in Winchester, Virginia! read more

Review of my visit on Saturday, January 15, 2022. Hostess provided me a table upon arrival. No wait on my visit. A clean and tidy restaurant! I choose the 12 oz. prime rib. Superb! Beat my last prime rib meal. Best I've had in quite awhile. Cooked to perfection. Although I should've asked for horseradish sauce. Choice of two sides. I ordered only one, which was great. Complimentary bread was warm and spot on. It was somewhat busy, perhaps a late lunch crowd; however, service was prompt, the waitress did a good job! Observed other staff happily tending to customers, which is a very positive point! Decent access from/ to I-81. Good location is you're staying local. A couple hotels, a 7-11, with fuel, is across the street. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is very close. If I'm in the area, and I want a steak or prime rib, I'll stop by again for a meal. read more

Awful service. Reservation was made hours in advance with guarantee to be sat at 6 and after over an hour wait they still didn't sit us. Service was awful and the staff had the RUDEST attitude. AVOID THIS OUTBACK AT ALL COSTS!! Nasty people, nasty food! read more

The Winchester location is a standard Outback Steakhouse. We came at mid afternoon on Sunday and it was not crowded at all. (I'm used to Outbacks that are mobbed!) We ordered a Bloomin' Onion for our party of four. The waiter brought two loaves of bread, which was very nice. He was attentive and kept our iced teas and soft drinks replenished. I ordered a 14 oz. Ribeye steak (medium) with a side Caesar Salad and a baked potato. The Caesar Salad was not as fresh or good as I'm used to having at the Twinbrook location in Fairfax. The Ribeye, on the other hand, was very good. Cooked a little more than the waiter had described, but that was OK. The steak was fine and juicy. I would return to the Kernstown Commons location. read more

My sirloin steak for takeout was tough and had no flavor. The take out service was very good.

I don't mind spending $30 for a steak, but the food overall was just not that tasty. I ordered the bone in ribeye, baked potato, house salad & a 9oz glass of wine at the bar. I was not greeted, handed a menu, or given utensils until I asked after about 10 minutes. Needless to say the tip was slowly marked down. My steak was cooked pretty well for medium-well with garlic butter topping. However, it did not taste better than a USDA angus steak I buy from Walmart & cook myself. I won't be visiting this location again, despite living 12 minutes away. I know food in general no longer taste the same, but for a chain steak restaurant with the prices I expect a better tasting piece of meat. read more

2nd and last time I've ordered from Outback on Uber Eats. Apparently the employees do NOT read the special instructions where I wrote: Send A1 and extra salad dressing. I would have even paid extra for items that I wanted. This is not an Uber or delivery issue- it's all on Outback. PAY ATTENTION!! read more

Not going to lie, I wasn't expecting too much. The last time I've been to Outback was maybe 6 years ago at the Sterling and Reston locations. My dad was visiting my partner and I, so we decided to try it out. Was not at all, in the slightest, disappointed. The food was heavenly, the service was fantastic, and the whole dining experience as a whole was exceptional. 100% will be going back to dine with Outback Steakhouse. read more

We Usually get good service and good food! But this one time I went I didn't enjoy sitting at a table that had 100s of flies flying around the light above us. When I said something about it to the lady, she said well the flies are bad this year! & that they had no other available table for us being a party of 5! Even tho they did! The Food was cold and wrong and had to be sent back and also my steak had to be sent back to fully cook it! When I asked for a well done steak and what i got was a bleeding cow worse then the slaughtering! Wasn't a pleasant experience that time! read more

Best steak I've had in a very long time! Excellent service by staff during a very busy time, however, everyone got seated quickly. Delores, the manager even came over to the table to see how our dinner was. Nice touch! read more
