Would totally eat here again. The cheesy fries are amazing, my husband had a baked potato soup, the steak and chicken combo was good, the shrimp was awesome and they have a GLUTEN FREE BROWNIE SUNDAE that I dream about. Flavors of everything were great and we will be dining in again.

Had my birthday there this year. This restaurant is the only one that would take a reservation. Olive Garden and Texas Roadhouse would not. Great food and had a wonderful time.

My bf and I tried the other location and hands down preferred this one. The waitress was excellent and constantly checked on us, the food was cooked better, and it seemed more clean. I don’t think we’d be back because it’s honestly a less better version of Texas Roadhouse, but I definitely wouldn’t rate it lower than 3-4. As far as taste goes the bread was okay (bland in my opinion), the onion blossom was delicious and fried to perfection, the salad was good but a bit skimpy on dressing, the potato was great, and the steak was so-so and could’ve definitely used a little more seasoning/flavor (again bland). We did appreciate how hot the food was upon being served to us- one thing Texas Roadhouse does is serve food warm whereas here it was like they took it right out of the oven/off the skillet and just put it in front of us! Oh and the cheesecake slice was yum as well. Overall this restaurant isn’t bad at all but could use improvements especially when it comes to the attitude of the employees since a lot of them, at both locations, seemed generally miserable.

The last time we were there it was great! It had been a while since we were there, and tonight did disappoint a bit. The best was the Ahi tuna appetizer! The rest was pretty bland, We never got checked on once by our server, and never refilled our drinks, but I am not sure how busy she was.

Very impressed. We had not been to Outback in over ten years, and we were very impressed by the quality of food and service. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing. The food was what we hoped it would be, very delicious without drowning in seasoning or horribly over-priced.
Sleepless Crafter
Nice environment, good service, but for the price, the food was mediocre. I ordered the side Loaded Mashed Potato, which was delicious. My husband ordered the 6 oz. Steak and 4 shrimp, which he said his homemade was a lot better. The bread that came with it was soggy from the shrimp, so he didn’t even eat it. My daughter had the shrimp entree with rice and broccoli. The shrimp was ok. The rice tasted like Mexican rice, which was a little odd. My other daughter ordered Salmon, which she said the salmon we make at home is much better. My son had the burger, which he said was about the same as Jack in the Box. We had strawberry lemonade, which just tasted like artificial flavors. We make better strawberry lemonade at home. We also had the blooming onions as an appetizer, which was good, but very salty. We spent $130, which was about twice what we normally spend when we go out. My daughter got free ice cream with delicious chocolate syrup since it was her birthday. Expect to spend around $30 per person for food that’s not worth $10. The food was disappointing to say the least.

If you want to be stuffed, this is the place! Everything tasted good and the customer service was excellent! The Bloomin’ Onion is a great appetizer! Highly recommend you check it out! Definitely coming back!

We came here tonight and as always the service was phenomenal. This is our second time here and we had Christian both times and he was the best! He knows great customer service and is a true asset to Outback. Great service is a rare find now days and is great to know there is great ones like Christian. Thank you manager Rachael for hearing our feedback!
