  Outback Steakhouse has become our dependable choice for a relaxed yet satisfying date night—particularly on those evenings when the demands of the workday have rendered home cooking unappealing. We find ourselves dining here a couple of times each month, most often on weekdays, and the experience is consistently seamless. We are promptly seated, and the service is unfailingly attentive and courteous. While weekends appear understandably busier, reserving online would easily mitigate any wait. It is evident that Outback is experiencing a well-deserved resurgence. The quality of the food has noticeably improved; ingredients taste fresh, preparations are thoughtfully executed, and the flavors are reliably excellent. Each visit finds the restaurant bustling, which speaks volumes about its renewed popularity. What truly distinguishes this location, however, is the exceptional value offered by the Aussie three-course meal. Beginning at $14.99, the deal includes a choice of soup or salad, a select entrée, and a dessert—an impressive value by any standard. My customary order consists of the house salad, a sirloin steak, and the cheesecake. On many occasions, we find ourselves so satisfied that we scarcely have room for the complimentary bread. We frequently dine with our young child, and the staff is always accommodating. Ordering her a simple side of plain sweet potatoes and grilled chicken is never an issue, and these requests are handled graciously and without complication. The beverage offerings further enhance the experience. Their wine pricing is particularly reasonable, with a modest upcharge ($3) for a generous nine-ounce pour. That said, our personal favorite is the blackberry sangria—exceptionally well-balanced and genuinely delightful. While I did not capture many photos, choosing instead to fully enjoy the moment and the meal, I managed to take a few before departing. This location consistently delivers on quality, value, and service, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

  Our first visit in a while but it did not disappoint. We ordered a blooming onion for starters, and first drinks ww ordered a tall blonde beer and a Koala Punch. For dinner I ordered a Bone in Ribeye and my wife ordered Bloomin Fried Chicken. All were delicious and cooked as ordered. Our server er was very kind and attentive. Would recommend

  We used to go to this location all the time. Haven't been in over 10 years because of issues with food & quality. Decided to try again because we've had good experiences at other locations over the years and it was the same old awful. There were 5 things wrong with our order of two entrees. 1. We were given broccoli instead of green beans. 2. No honey mustard was given for the Alice Springs Chicken. 3. 8 oz Victoria Filet was rare not medium rare. 4. No Roasted Garlic Butter topping added to the filet that we paid for. 5. Potato Soup had no bacon or cheese toppings. It's actually unbelievable that so many things can go wrong with one order. Our dinner was completely ruined. We live a half hour away and returning wasn't an option, so we had to make do. $75 for a meal and before we could eat when we got home, we had to cook the steak more and make our own honey mustard and our own steak topping. We didn't have any bacon or cheese, so we had to just eat plain potato soup. Very disappointing experience and will not be visiting this location ever again. We've eaten at other Outbacks when traveling and they are usually decent. We just had a great experience in Williamsburg, VA. Too bad Frederick can't get their act together or we would be regulars.

  I mean, it's an Outback Steakhouse. It is what it is. However, after my last visit, I felt compelled to leave an outstanding review for this place. I ordered one of their steaks, and it was the most perfectly cooked steak I've ever received from a restaurant. I've been to a Ruth's Chris, independent steakhouses, chains, etc. I love steak, so there's always at least some minor niggling criticism, even if it doesn't significantly detract from the overall experience. Was it the best steak I've ever had? Hell no. It was cheap and doused in whatever salt and MSG-heavy Outback Steakhouse seasoning they use. Which is fine. It is what it is. But that Cisco ribeye was PERFECTLY cooked. A gentle medium all the way through from tip to tip, no visible band. Juicy and tender. Whoever cooked it deserves a raise, or a job at a nicer restaurant with better ingredients. I think I told the waitress, but it was a late night, I was exhausted, and the shock of the experience has left me with a fuzzy memory. I hope I did. It was like finding an antique Rolex in good condition at a random yard sale you stopped at on your way home from work. What an unexpected treat.

  My family and I dined in last night around 5 pm and had a fantastic dinner. All the food was delicious and great service. I came specially to comment on how the staff went out of their way to ensure this was a “kid friendly “ experience. The manager (I believe her name was Victoria) brought each of my kids a small outback toy and extra coloring pages. We felt extremely welcomed, which is sometimes difficult with three small children. Thank you Frederick outback!
