Haven't been to an Outback Steakhouse in years and now I remember why. We were there a bit early like 3:00 3:30 so we thought we'd get the lunch menu, they offered a steak with a side, or chicken with a side. He's got the chicken which was mediocre at the best, and I got the sirloin steak cut. It was so tough I spent most of my time sawing through just my first bite. We called the server over and she offered to replace it, why would I want to get another one so I ended up substituting it for the chicken and putting the chicken in my salad. It was pretty empty and not real clean. I have no photos to share because every Outback looks the same. This one is no different just old

Went for my sons 5th Birthday. Server was amazing, food was delicious. My wife's steak was overcooked but they immediately apologized and made her a whole new entree. Bonus points for being awesome to my son celebrating his bday!

I have to say that I was disappointed in the burger. The meat had some gristle, which I had never encountered before at the Outback. I really would take off 2 stars for that. They earned back a star, though, because the cheese fries were sooo cheesy and the side salad was substantial. So many places are cutting back on quantity and I'm impressed that they aren't. So, I still love them, but I would stay away from the burger.

If im being honest, I knew better than to come to outback. My server was actually very sweet but some things just can't be fixed. I ordered a mid rare riveted after being told i could order a prime rib rare nor mid rare. My fiance got mid rare sirloin. 75 min later our food arrives. Bear in mind that theres 5 tables open in our section so we arent talking slammed. 2 tables were seated after served and finished before we ate. Now when our food finally came it was disappointing at best. Her steak was overcooked, we're talking mid well instead of mid rare. Mine on the other hand was the right temp, however it was literally the worst quality steak I have ever been served. There was gristle throughout so I had to do surgery to attempt to eat. Twice I had to pull food from my mouth with my fingers. Just the date night image I wanted. I normally dont rant like this but the steak wast seared nor crusted. Every thing about this ruined our night out, which is the only one this month. Don't come here. Go to longhorn if you want a similar price. I've literally had better at truck stops!!

I went there for my best friend's birthday and we totally got the whole day.We got 0 attention from the server.Who was super busy with two tables. We didn't receive any happy birthday attention. There was nothing special about their new meal.And obviously everything is frozen, so be careful with what you order. and this place totally ruined the beginning of a great birthday
