- FFFrederick2 days ago5.0One of the better Outback restaurants and one of the better steakhouses in Normal Bloomington area. Service is great, and they will even suggest what’s best for the day. Always nice to see that! Payment can be done on the tablet thing at the table, and receipt sent either in email or via text.
- GCGlen CNov 17, 20255.0Our experience has been great everytime we,ve eaten here! Food is great, as well as the service! Atmosphere is quiet, a great to bring a date or your spouse. Very easy to have a conversation and get to know someone or gain continued knowledge of your significant other!
- LLLollyNov 13, 20255.0We visited for veterans Day. It's the first time that I have had outback steakhouse in the last 15 years. It was so good, and the waiter was awesome.
- SBScott BroekerNov 11, 20255.0Veterans Day Lunch at Outback Today I went to Outback for Veterans Day. We arrived around 11:45 and it wasn’t crowded yet, so we were seated quickly. Our server, David, did a fantastic job — he was attentive and kept our teas filled the entire time. It seemed like the kitchen was a bit overwhelmed, but I wasn’t in any rush. When the food came out, everything was great! We started with the Trio Appetizer, which I highly recommend — it’s the perfect amount to sample a few things without getting too full before your meal. For my entrée, I had the Cactus Blossom Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes, and it was delicious. David continued to check in and made sure we had everything we needed. I even got dessert to go since I was comfortably full by the end. Thank you, Outback, for a great meal and for honoring our veterans!
