I had a great lunch with a delicious hamburger on a bun with lettuce, tomato and fried onions. They also had a special for $10 I can get a take-home meal and which I got spicy shrimp over macaroni and cheese for my son.

food was fantastic, blooming onion on spot 🙌 my only complaint is that the girl who brought out the food and drinks had an unfathomable stench. i don’t mean to be rude but this cannot be someone who is bringing out food to customers, almost made me sick with how vile it was.it was unreal 😟

I ordered takeout after a few years of not patronizing Outback due to a bad experience however I will say that last nights food was on point and everything was fresh and hot and very neatly prepared. I ordered a grilled chicken meal the mashed potato were so good I also had bacon cheese fries and the ranch dressing at Outback I found out is made in house which is awesome and healthy in my opinion. I had the artichoke dip which was ok but still was a great choice my kids loved it and they loved their kids meals also one had a cheeseburger and the other had chicken tenders. Overall I will be going back I am so happy that things improved as Outback has always been one of my favorite restaurants. I think my bad experience was mostly due to maybe a staffing issue but I’m so glad it seems to be resolved. I encourage anyone who has had an unsavory experience at the Orange location to give it another shot because I believe they’ve turned a new leaf. Also I want to note I ordered close to closing and my food was still so good and fresh and well prepared… in my dining experience when ordering close to closing it’s usually not a great experience but Outback in Orange has definitely stepped their game up.

Horrible experience. On January 29th my family and I decided to go to outback steak house. From the moment we walked in we got faces and attitudes from the hostess like we were bothering them because we came in to eat! They were rude and disrespectful toward my guest and they sat us at a table that was dirty with crumbs and food particles from a previous customer. We used the roll up napkins to wipe the table down ourselves. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (According to my wife the only good thing about the night was her drink fyi) Mozzarella sticks and wings were decent. A little too much salt on The wings. Entrees were absolutely horrible and not cooked properly. My wife’s dinner was horrible. Sirloin medium well and shrimp with mashed potato’s and fries. Potatoes were ice cold, like refrigerator cold. Her steak was disgusting and half of it was medium rare and the other well done. One of my guests ordered a $40 steak with Mac and cheese. It was supposed to be medium rare but was absolutely raw. Not a little under or so. Completely raw. My baked potato on my entree was at minimum two days old and reheated. And to top the night, they gave my granddaughter a used kids coloring menu that was stained and colored on by a previous child. None of my guests or myself sent the food back because we were afraid of anyone tampering with our food and only the mashed potatoes were replaced. Waitress said the reason that they were cold was because it was the last of the batch!! We informed the waitress of everything as it happened and she offered one dessert as a sorry!!! We absolutely do not recommend this place. For being a steak house the steaks were mediocre and not cooked properly. The chef should be embarrassed of what his kitchen sends out to customers!!!
