- TJThe Bee Man JayNov 12, 20255.0Great waitress and staff really appreciate the time I was there. The food was very good..
- AAAnonymousNov 11, 20251.0Called restaurant and selected the takeaway curbside option to see if the veterans meal could be to go. Guy answered and said yes you can let me just transfer you to the line where you can place you order. Cool. Waited for awhile then a female picked up the phone said yea? I told her that I was told that I was told I could place the veterans order to go. She responded with an attitude that it was dine in only. I said okay thats fine you may want to let the guy at the curbside number know that. She then had a serious attitude and told me there's not even a guy over there then proceeded to hang up in the middle of me responding. Don't even care that it was dine in only or that the guy was mistaken but there's no excuse for being ugly to people.
- SBSierra BingNov 11, 20255.0Veterans Day 2025 Full house at lunch time, but service was excellent, food served quickly and tasted phenomenal. Special kudos for Carlie; she was friendly and a wonderful server with great smile despite being super busy! The world needs more of her:) Thanks for offering Veterans an amazing meal!
- BDBrittany DisspainNov 6, 20255.0I haven't ate there in years. It was so good. It was the best sirloin I've ever ate! The loaded potato was amazing also!
- SCSharon CurtisOct 25, 20255.0I haven't eaten at an Outback in years, but since my husband is diabetic, we look for places he can eat without too much effort. We were seated quickly even though it was a Friday night. Our server was at our table almost immediately to get our drink orders. I had the 6oz filet, a baked sweet potato, and a Caesar salad. My husband had the Ahi tuna, a house salad, and the chili as his sides. My steak was cooked perfectly and was melt-in-your-mouth tender. My husband said the tuna was very good, but that the chili was the star of his meal. I had forgotten how good Outback is. Our bill came to $53 before tip.
