Came in for a steak with my boyfriend! So delicious, steak was juicy and sides had the flavor I’ve been searching for. I wouldn’t be leaving a review if it weren’t for Lauryn, our wonderful server. She was so attentive and made our experience absolutely worth it. She knew the menu and hooked me up with the best suggestions, will definitely be coming back for another steak. As long as Lauryn is our server lol.

Bella and Carson were an amazing team tonight! Came in for a couple beers and to watch the cowboys game and was greeted with 2 bright smiles. They made my whole day in just the hour I was at the bar. Highly recommend going and seeing them for a good time and to feel special. 10/10

I genuinely wish I could rate outback higher but I cannot. Long rant coming. It was my son's birthday and we were looking forward to celebrating it here. We called ahead planned everything out but when we got there the server told us they could not serve us because we "might get too rowdy". Immediately after I noticed the server and all the other servers giggling and pointing. I this was a joke or a setup. I hesitate to say plain cruel as my son has terrets and id hate to think they were laughing at him. Anyway confused my family and I left and as we were walking out one of the hosts just gave me a cup of water and said almost laughing I might add. " I hope this wets your beak!" Then ran away. I have no idea why we were treated like this but it seems we were caught in between some inside joke. Anyway the only that will make up for this terrible behavior is a free meal or something because this is ridiculous

We had such a great time stopping at the Outback in San Marcos before we went shopping. Bella and Meagan were the friendliest staff we’ve ever encountered. They spent plenty of time ensuring that we were well taken care of, and were personable beyond the average script you get at other restaurants. The drinks were amazing, and their attention was beyond comparison. The restaurant was clean, our seats were quick, and I would say this is one of the better operations in this area.

Bella is the best bartender ever!!!!! I asked is she could do a skinny margarita and she said "absolutely". Next thing I know, I look over and shes juicing the fruit on the spot for the next 10 minutes :o I was not expecting her to go out of her way for my drink. She went way far and beyond. This drink taste like Mexico! Its amazing, but dont go asking for one because I'm sure not everyone will do it. Thanks Bella!!!
