My Wife stated that I was too nice...
The blooming onion was cooked in OLD oil & was CRAZY salty. She wouldn't even eat it. She asked for hot water & they brought her hot tea. She mentioned it, then dismissed it, saying don't worry about it, but in the end they charged us $5 for their mistake. She did NOT want me to pay for the blooming onion.
The steaks seemed to be cooked to the right level, but was too salty as well. She ate half of the Ceasar salad, but was disappointed & already wanting to leave. She patiently waited for me to finish eating, then we paid & stepped out.
Since, this same thing happened to us many years ago, we will probably never return.
We had a gift card from our Son, so we thought we might try again...

I have placed five orders in four days from this restaurant through Grubhub, ordering the same Blue Burger meal each time.
Out of those five orders, only one was prepared correctly the lunch order placed earlier today. (all of which have been placed through the Outback app, except for the one placed tonight through GrubHub)
The remaining orders, all placed in the evening, have had consistent issues:
• I ordered the Blooming Burger, which includes blooming onion petals, yet did not receive the blooming petals on multiple occasions.
• The burger was not cooked to the temperature specified, including tonight and two nights ago.
• There is an upcharge for the Blooming Burger compared to the regular burger, yet I repeatedly received the regular version instead.
The pattern strongly suggests a night-shift quality control issue. Most responses to my feedback have come from the same manager, which leads me to believe the problem is occurring during evening operations.
At this point, I believe I should be refunded for tonight’s meal and last night’s meal, as I did not receive what I paid for. Order 40680512248168452 I do understand that tonight‘s meal was through a third-party, but all the other meals were through the Outback app itself.
This is not a one-off mistake. It is a repeated failure to fulfill the same order correctly. At this point, I feel the Better Business Bureau should be involved and possibly they can take it higher than this location who refuses to adhere to providing food that is paid for by customers.

My boyfriend and I went here for a date night, and this wasn’t our first time at this location. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. When we arrived, we waited about 5–10 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. Since we already knew what we wanted, we ordered our drinks, appetizers, and entrées all at once.
About 20 minutes later, our blooming onion came out. Around that same time, a server informed the table behind us that the restaurant was out of sirloins—which happened to be exactly what both of us ordered. We waited for someone to come tell us the same thing, but no one did, so we assumed we must have gotten the last ones.
After another 30–40 minutes, someone finally came over to let us know they were, in fact, out of sirloins. By that point, we had already been there for over an hour. I also had to ask for my salad after the appetizer arrived because it still hadn’t been brought out.
We ultimately decided to pay for what we had already eaten and leave. After waiting at least an hour and fifteen minutes, we were done. The only compensation we received was a blooming onion card, and despite barely receiving any of our meal, the bill was still $35.
This used to be our favorite dinner spot, but after this experience, we definitely will not be returning.
