Having never been to an Outback Steakhouse before, this restaurant gave me such a great impression. The food was delicious, all the appetizers and the main course (we got the chicken tender platter) came out timely and the waitress was so friendly and despite having a full establishment, she always kept checking in on us which was really great to see. The ambiance truly was inviting, dim lights with a bar and sports going on so it just was overall a great place to bring family or a friend to catch up. Highly recommend!
Due to my poor planning of dining at a very popular, new establishment in the area, we had to select somewhere else to dine for the evening. We decided to go to Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse is an American Steakhouse, they will try to make you believe they are Australian, but in my mind that's just a marketing ploy. Our waitress Julia was so lovely, she either really, really loves her job or she is an exceptional actress. I first got the Wallaby Darned cocktail. This was peachy, frosty, not super high on vodka, and a pretty summery choice to me. We got the 3 Cheese Steak Dip to share. This was so cheesy and melty, with the chopped steak and tomatoes. I got the Bloomin' Burger. I haven't had a burger in a long time, I was tempted by this one. This is just an average burger, with some fried onion added in. This burger was a bit strange. Was I eating three separate burgers or just one? Parts of it were very dry, parts of it were very salty, and parts of it were very juicy. Everyone else in my party got steaks that they throughly enjoyed! We concluded with the Chocolate Tower cake! This slice was massive. I thought it was going to be super dry, but it was very chocolatey, rich and fresh, and the raspberry sauce added an extra layer of sweetness! Overall we had a pretty good time at Outback Steakhouse. My burger wasn't great, everything else was solid. I think they're a better pick than the competitor (TR).
I'm sorry to say that I forgot about this Outback on the Berlin Turnpike. It does kind of get lost in the shuffle and it's been years since we ate there. Thanks to a coupon in the mail, we decided to revisit on a Sunday. Great experience. Seated immediately and well taken care of by friendly servers, especially Ava, we didn't feel rushed and the atmosphere was relaxed, yet efficient. All three of us ordered steak dinners on their current three course meal promotion and felt it was a good value. The loaded baked potatoes are yummy, and so is the baked potato soup!
Despite ordering through DoorDash I have only ever had great food show up at my door. We order the potato soup, mac and cheese balls and bloomin' burger. They always look and taste good, even on the 25 minute or so drive from the restaurant to my house! While I have yet to drop by in person, I do know the chefs are doing something right. Because of this positive experience through delivery, we will be stopping by to sit down one day! Will update when that day comes.
Freddy was an A+ waiter. He was truly a compliment to the experience that Outback Steakhouse is known for. 5/5 Our steak, that night, was close to perfect. Another Outback location still has this site beat on truly presenting a steak in its perfection. This site is respectfully a close second. 4/5 Sides were a compliment to the meal. I recommend the loaded mashed potatoes and asparagus. 4/5 Previous score: 3/5 Updated score: 4/5
Amazing staff!! From the time we sat down, from starter drinks to appetizers to main course, our server provided excellent service and made the experience extremely welcoming. She was very attentive and energetic! Our server made the evening extra special and gave great recommendations for dishes. Outback truly has some of the best prime rib I have ever had in my life! It's always perfectly seasoned, especially the outback style it's always tender & juicy. Would absolutely come again but the service is what truly made the evening exceptional.
Dinner was better than expected. I haven't been to Outback in ages! They have a pretty good gluten-free menu . I order a 6 oz sirloin steak with grilled shrimp, sweet potato and a side salad. My dish ended coming with bread which I can't have but they changed it . The salad for a side was very filling and good. My steak was cooked perfectly as I wanted! My dad was very satisfied with his orders.. He did mentioned the veggies could have been cooked a bit more but his steak was tender , flavorful as well as the chicken. Dessert was delicious! Always a plus when it's gluten-free and there's something for us to eat. It was very filling but good. Couldn't finish all! . But , it was dinner time and it was pretty busy! Our waiter was great so can't complain at all about service.
