Enjoyable Meal

by Grampoo

Enjoyed a nice dinner. Waiter was prompt with any requests & food was delicious. I had the pork tenderloins & my wife had the baby-back ribs. Food was served in a timely manner but then again it wasn't busy there. One of the managers even came over, introduced herself and asked how our dinner was. Not enough restaurants do this. Overall, enjoyed our time there.

• Pros: Not expensive

Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor.

In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.

Best Steaks, Appitizers, Service & Value Anywhere! Outback Rules!

by Jon67cj5

Wait time? I never have to wait and am seated before people standing around with pagers simply because I call ahead. I have Outback programmed in my phone in case I?m out and decide to go there.

Everyone knows lots of people frequent this restaurant. They have a call-ahead service and they will put you on their list before you get there. The food is great and the service is always awesome. As one who tips generously before dinner, it would be. Some have said there are better steaks elsewhere, but didn't mention where that is. Outback has the best I have ever had and compares to Ruth Chris at a fraction of the price. Hey, when your steak is perfect every time, you can?t get much better than that.

I typically get the ribeye (called a Scotch fillet in Australia) and one has to know that they cook their steaks one temperature under what you order. I dislike overcooked food and Outback is always consistent, unlike other places I have been. I would never go anywhere else for a steak. The salads are quite generous in size and when I order it without croutons and extra onions; that?s exactly what I get.

The Outback style prime rib is excellent. I don?t believe it is on the current menu, but they will fix it for you if you ask. They take the prime rib and flash it on the grill for a minute, giving it a great flavor. The lamb is good too and can be served as chops if you request it. It has a distinctive rosemary flavor. Don?t forget to order the coconut shrimp appetizer; it is awesome!

I enjoy the atmosphere and the decorations are fun to look at. I have always received prompt and attentive service. My glass has never been empty and I have never lacked anything in the years I have been going here. Without exception, anywhere else I have ordered a steak, it was overcooked. It must be a Florida thing as many indigenous people in the south order medium well; I hear it all the time. Outback just does it better than any other. I think I?ll go there tonight!

• Pros: Excellent Food, Service, Price and Atmosphere - Call Ahead for no Waiting in Line
• Cons: NONE!

Great food, you must be patient for service. I wonder....if there is always a wait-it must be worth it. :)

It's outback okay

by jaxcat54

I prefer to not go there again, the wait was too long and the food was nothing to brag about.

Always good...

by cyrene68

No matter which location I frequent, the food, service, and atmosphere are great, almost identical. You always know what you'll get (quality and value), how long it will take and how great the service is.

• Pros: Food Quality, Price, Service

Average

Outback is an average place to get good steak. I would say I eat here frequently however I know there are much better places in town for steak.

Backout

by gpatton

I used to enjoy Outback, and depending on the city it is still a very nice restaurant, but the last few times I have been the service was under par, especially considering the wait for a table. The food is still good but not the best.

• Pros: food, atmosphere, price
• Cons: long wait, service

tasty steak

by AY1

Love the cheese fries no steak is complete without those. The steak is great just the way it comes without any steak sauce. Great dessert!! The garlic croutons are to strong!!

• Pros: great side items
