Outback did it again... I put myself on the wait list they send you a text telling you that you're on the wait list and they'll notify you, after waiting for 30 minutes, I decided to go and check and their system goofed and never notified us. So in my opinion people if it seems like it's taking a little bit too long make sure you double check that you are not forgotten. The wait staff was very polite and on top of the game. I ordered the outback center cut with a nice creamy sweet potato and a Caesar salad that was not only visually appealing but also very tasty.Perfectly cooked steak as ordered. Keep up the good work

I ordered take out, I got a 6oz sirloin medium with a baked potato with cheese and chives and broccoli.
The steak was well done, completely shriveled up, I tried to eat it anyways because I’m starving and I was chewing for ages. My potato came with a sprinkle of cheese. Not exaggerating I could probably count 15 pieces of shredded cheese for this giant potato.
They really didn’t care what they gave me. I will be sticking with longhorn they never disappoint. I ordered take out from them last week and it was perfect so it’s not impossible to provide a good takeout meal.
The photo is of my entire steak btw it was that small. Maybe 4 adult bites of meat.

I think the food is very good. The steaks are tasty. They have a $10 meal to go as well. With beef prices through the roof these days, they have upped their prices.

I frequent outback in every market across the U.S and I know this business model very well from market to market and have relationships with servers in each market I frequent.I recently started frequenting the Newington, CT location. I have to tip my cap to the server Christine behind the bar at the Newington, CT location -- She does a great job from great customer service, to attention to detail, and she is back there working hard. I always admire a hard worker, but then there is the impeccable customer service and the attention to detail.Christine is a valued asset to that team at the Newington location.
Thanks Christine for the excellent service!

First and last time. Don't like the tangy mashed potatoes and they were cold, blooming onion was soggy tasted like batter and not crispy. The chicken,shrimp, Alfredo was dry, I think the Alfredo might have been good if I had enough to cover the noodles, the shrimp was fishy smelling, the chicken was dry and had no flavor. The asparagus was okay just a little on the salty side. The ribs were good but again a little to salty after eating a couple. I was very dissatisfied and won't order again.
