Ordered potato soup and it was as cold as the ice water. Took forever to get our food and there were no other people in restaurant. Will not be eating there again. Worst ever outback.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this Outback Steakhouse. Our server, Jade, was attentive and courteous. The manager, Katie, was also very personable and truly cared that we enjoyed our meals. The food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely make eating at this Outback a frequent place to eat.

Absolutely tremendous. We both had ribeye steaks, they were tremendous. Almost like butter, 30$ a plate, but worth it in my opinion.
Also the service was phenomenal refills came without asking, and a humble waitress. a 10/10 experience.

We were a party of 2. Told server of a dairy allergy for one of us. Salads were promptly delivered, covered in cheese. Ordered ribeye steaks. They looked ok, however, they were so gristle-y, they just were not good. Almost a quarter of my steak was inedible.

Came to Outback for my dad’s bday lunch, and though there was a mix-up with our food, the staff handled it amazingly. They fixed everything right away, gave us a discount, and made sure the rest of our meal was great. Everyone was super friendly and genuinely cared about making our experience a good one.
They turned things around and made sure my dad still had an awesome bday lunch. Big thanks to the team for keeping the day bright.
Ironically my food was the best of the table. My steak was nicely seasoned, and the fries were super crispy and hot. Recommend for the amazing staff and foods!
