  Every time we visit Outback Steakhouse in San Marcos, it’s a must for us to stop by for a bite. Today’s dinner was amazing as always, great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Our waitress, Ashley, was absolutely wonderful and made the experience even better. Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. We’ll definitely keep coming back! ⭐️

  I feel like the weekend cook may be better? You can just tell with fish and steak when theyve rushed it... a nice cut shouldnt be tough and shrimp shouldnt feel rushed/borderline undercooked... butter shouldnt be cold yet still in liquid(oil?) Type form. It wasnt terrible but it wasnt great. The drink was wonderful. I cant remember the name im sorry, it was green with a toy crocodile on top. My husbands chicken and salad were wonderful and my french onion soup was excellent. So it feels very hit or miss on a weekday at least.

  I had a really good experience at Outback Steakhouse. The food came out hot and flavorful, and the portions were definitely worth the price. I ordered a steak with sides and everything was cooked the way I asked. The steak was well-seasoned and tender, and the sides complemented it well. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a good place for a casual dinner with friends or family. Our server was friendly and attentive, checking on us without being overbearing. The Server Maliya was a great server and she was very attentive and respectful.

  Tonight when we dined in our server was lauryn, she is the kindest most helpful server I have ever had the pleasure of serving me. She was attentive and always checked up on us and made sure that we had everything we needed. I would recommend lauryn as the top server of outback! if I ever make my way back to outback at the outlet malls, I hope that lauryn is my server again because she is a sweet and kind soul. I love that girl! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  I'm getting so tired of having mediocre food at inflated prices! We ate here for an early dinner last Sunday and were disappointed. The restaurant wasn't busy so we were seated right away. Our waitress was decently friendly, but she kept disappearing for long periods of time, and I think she only had 1 other table, so that was just weird. I ordered their smoked bourbon drink, which was the only really good think about our meal. We both got the 6oz steak and chicken meal, I got mine cooked medium with a side salad and baked potato and my husband got his cooked medium well with the mac and cheese and a baked potato. The food took a very long time to come out which, again, was strange because there were only a few tables with diners at that time. My steak was cooked correctly, but I was unimpressed with the shrimp sauce I paid extra for on top. The shrimp were overcooked and it lacked flavor. The steak itself was ok, as was the chicken and baked potato. The side salad was not good at all, with extremely bitter white iceberg lettuce making up the majority of the salad. I didn't finish it. My husband had to send his steak back because it was quite literally rare (straight up purple inside). Took us a minute to flag down our waitress because, as I said before, she kept disappearing. She took one look at the steak and apologized, saying it was defintely rare and she would "have them throw it back on" to cook it correctly. I'm sorry, what? How are you going to take a steak that is already cut open and had a couple bites out of it (the edge was more done) and then cook it more? That is just going to dry it out, that is not how one cooks steak! So unprofessional. Literally at least 10 minutes later (after I had already finished eating) she brought back out the exact same steak which was, surprise, now dry and overcooked. There was no attempt to make it right, at all, no discount, nothing. For the price we were paying, this is not ok. We are not picky and over critical, I swear! We honestly just want mildly friendly service with food of an acceptable quality equal to the price paid. This is becoming increasingly rare, resulting in us eating at home a lot more. We will not be back.
