I haven’t been here for a while, but food was still good like I had hoped and the bread was better than I even recall. So good everything reminded me of my childhood. Ciara Was attentive and sweet. She made sure we got our food hot and didn’t hover. She recommended we try the cheese boomerangs which is my only issue with our service cuz that ended our night with a newfound obsession😫Those things are too good lol iykyk! So see you soon outback

We had a fantastic dinner at Outback this past Friday. The food was spot on, starting with a perfectly crispy Bloomin' Onion and their signature bread basket, which is always a favorite. For the main course, the Prime Rib was the highlight, incredibly tender, seasoned well, and cooked exactly to the right temperature. The entire meal flowed perfectly and the atmosphere was great for a night out.
The high quality of the food was matched by the service. Our server, Ciara, was professional, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. She did a wonderful job ensuring our experience was seamless. We’ll definitely be back!

Maria is a great waitress!!! Came here with the family and we all had a great time. The food was yummy, the drinks were delicious, and the cute little koala that came with one of them was a hit. Thanks Maria for the great service and the big smile.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing dining experience overall.
From the beginning, the food was served far too closely together, which made the meal feel rushed and disorganized instead of relaxed and enjoyable.
We ordered the sampler appetizer, and it was absolutely not worth the money. The fries were cold, the cheese wasn’t melted, and it honestly felt like the plate had been sitting out for a while before being served. Definitely not what you expect from an appetizer meant to showcase the kitchen.
For the entrées, my wife ordered the ribeye, which was surprisingly good and ended up being the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, my prime rib was the complete opposite. Despite ordering it medium rare, it came out extremely chewy and tough, making it very disappointing.
What made the experience even more frustrating was the hefty bill nearly $170 for food that was, at best, mediocre. At that price point, you expect quality and consistency, not cold appetizers and poorly prepared entrées.
While I do want to acknowledge that the staff was great friendly, attentive, and clearly trying their best the quality of the food ultimately ruined the experience. Good service alone can’t make up for disappointing food.
Overall, this dinner was a letdown, and I would not come back, even though the staff was great. The food simply wasn’t worth the price.

Maria was an absolutely wonderful and attentive waitress. From the moment we were seated, she made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. She was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. Our drinks were always refilled, our food came out perfectly, and she checked in at just the right moments to make sure everything was great.
It’s rare to find service that feels both efficient and warm, but Maria delivered exactly that. She truly elevated our dining experience and represents Outback at the highest level. We will definitely be asking for her again next time. Thank you, Maria, for such excellent service!
