Leaving a review because our waitress Sydney was super kind and attentive. Some of the best service I’ve had in a while. 4 stars because my steak was overcooked and dry….bummer. But overall a good experience!

This outback is outstanding in every way. Has been our go to restaurant for years and I’m hoping it stays that way!! Their service is the best. They really do care about customer service. I don’t know who owns this place but they know how to run a restaurant! Thank you

My husband and I just left and I had to do a review right away. Probably one of the best experiences we’ve had at outback.
Service was exceptional. Our waitress was so very efficient and kind. I didn’t catch her name :( but she was absolutely amazing. Even the young man that brought us our food. Food was very good also. Hot and yummy. Yes I highly recommend it. Happy New Year & God Bless You.

Ive been meaning to leave a review for a while but keep forgetting. This used to be the bad slow outback but has become the properly managed well oiled machine it is now. They have runners that come out as soon as ordered: drinks, food, straws, whatever! It comes out so quick. The manager makes rounds regularly to make sure everything is correct and if its not, he is quick and kind to fix it. I highly recommend giving then a shot!

Prices seemed reasonable. Had lunch special where for $14.99 you could get a soup (albeit limited options without an upcharge) or salad, entre + 1 side and a slice of cheesecake. I had the Caesar salad, burger + baked potato, and raspberry flavored cheesecake. I gave the food a 3 star rating because my burger was super greasy because of the butter on top of the bun, the bun was very flimsy causing the entire thing to fall apart before I was half way thru my burger especially since the fixings made the bottom half of the bun soggy. It would have made more sense to put the burger meat on first. The flavoring of the burger was also sort of blah. The Caesar salad was OK, but a bit on the salty side. I asked for all the fixing on my baked potato, but overall that also tasted a bit blah. The food was ample for the price. The service was stellar. We had 1 waitress serving a group of 19 people and she really stayed on top of things given the group size. I also liked the fact that tip was not automatically added like many restaurants do when group has 6 or more people. Paying was also super easy handled by the waitress right at the table without a lot of back and forth waiting for the checkout process to be completed. Suggested tips of 18%, 20% or 25% pre-programmed with a suggestion of 20% easily overrideable so you didn't have to sit there trying to figure out the tip amount.
