Came today when opened up. My server very strong and not a great welcome. I ordered food. Steak was on a separate plate cooked a different temp as requested. Mac n cheese super salty. Wine was under poured 4 oz was supposed to be a 9 oz room temp. Never was asked anything. I had to keep catching attention of server. Desert wasn’t even good today. Looks as if regular customers get served 100 percent and favorable. I came the day before and service was so good I brought a friend today and had awful service. Was going to order a bottle of wine and order wings for the football. I was rushed out instead well. Not good service. Staff kept siting to chat with buddies. Ina a regular however, we all should get same treatment and service.

We went when they first opened for lunch. Server was attentive. I had a bowl of Potato Soup and a Steak Salad. Soup was barely warm and my steak was med-well to well done. I had requested medium. I did not say anything at the time so I guess I shouldn't ding them here. I would go back but would say something next time if not meeting expectations.

My mom and I had the best experience at your establishment on Saturday night. I can't remember the servers name but she had the cutest little bullring in her nose, she was absolutely amazing!! You guys should cherish her and her commitment to excellence!

This is the closest Outback after they closed the one in Pinole, CA.
We came for a farewell dinner for my nephew who will return to Peking University for schooling.
He probably will not be coming back to the States for at least 2 years.
The food was excellent.
It was well prepared.
We had the prime rib dinner and we took a take out sirloin steak dinner back to a family member who had to work.
Marcus was our server and he was top notch, attentive and patient.
Recommended highly if you're looking to fulfill a steak event.
Will definitely be returning.
Keep up the good work.

They closed our Pinole location ☹️ we used to celebrate year long there and a few other places that have since closed.
I’ll update my review after we visit.
This is a milestone celebration so please make it one to remember 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Update: Well, let me clarify some things and debunk/update some things. This is one of the nicer locations, and there was not one scent of sour towels or one sign of dirty surfaces. Very clean and tidy inside and out so cleanliness and ambiance are 5 stars. 2nd is the service is A+ not too much or too little and everyone was very approachable/professional with a smile. Our server was sweet and precise. Never coming or leaving empty handed. We wanted to split the bill and she was very accommodating.
3rd part, the food… I am giving a very honest review. This is where you need just a little work. Don’t get angry, it’s good. Food is great but execution and timing is equally as important as flavor and presentation. So the quick fix items (soup/salads/etc) and blooming onion came out quickly/fresh. The rest of the food, for our party of 10 was just a little longer than we expected (not much) and some of the steaks were not quite cooked as they were ordered. And birthday girls salad was over mixed which (with hot steak on top) made it more soggy as I was eating. Again, all the flavor was on point and the presentation was nice too.
All in all, we will be back! We miss outback! One last tip/request, well 2. Please bring back the pork chop and the Tasmanian chili! Those were so good and they weren’t on the menu.
