Our trip to outback was really good. Our food came out perfect. But what made it best was our waitress Amanda. She was really one of the best we've had. She made sure our drinks were filled our order was correct & that we didn't need anything. She was super nice & fun to talk to. Would definitely recommend her all day everyday..

Our experience on Veterans Day was profoundly disappointing and, frankly, a disservice to the veterans who chose to support your establishment. The lack of adequate staffing and organization led to a chaotic environment where numerous patrons, including veterans, were forced to leave due to unacceptably long waits and neglect.
Specific issues at our table included:
The assigned server failed to approach our table to take our initial order, requiring us to flag down another staff member.
Our table received no attention from the server throughout the entire duration of our meal, resulting in unbussed dishes and unoffered beverage refills.
Obtaining the final bill was a significant challenge, causing further unnecessary delays in our departure.
We also waited for over 45 minutes for the complimentary Veterans Day cheesecake dessert, which was ultimately never served.
The service was absolutely unacceptable and tarnished what should have been a day of recognition and support.

Our recent visit to the outback in Gainesville VA was excellent. The food was delicious & the drinks were so good. Our server Amanda, she was amazing. She was definitely one of the best waitresses we've ever had. She was so nice & went out of her way to make sure we had everything we wanted/needed. She made sure we never had to wait with empty cups. I would highly recommend this outback.

The customer service here is absolutely outstanding! From the moment my toddler and I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for and valued. Amanda our server went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and all my questions were answered with patience and kindness. It’s rare to find such personalized, attentive service these days! Her caring demeanor truly set the standard for excellence. I Highly recommend this location to anyone who appreciates quality care, a worry free meal, and professionalism!
