Nothing special!

I just can say this place is over price. The steaks is not that good and the service was OK.

Crowded, Noisy, but Great Steaks

by jasonrussell at Citysearch

Steaks here are excellent. The only thing I can say is that it is always burnt and I have to scrape off the black charred edges.

The salads and deserts are great too.

This is not the place to go for large groups, as the wait time is at least an hour as they don't take reservations and there aren't many large tables.

They increased their pricing last year, but it's still a good place to go to when you're hungry

When your in need of some "Average to Good Quality" Prime Rib

by sigsauer1 at Citysearch

I've gone to Outback since they opened, yes, other reviewers have stated the "food servers" have a high turn over rate, YOU will get a TRAINEE&ALL that "WAITER LEARNING CURVE" Most recent was with my family, we all ordered prime rib, the salad fine, bread fine, main course looked great, BUT, here is comes: meat was tough, grainy&chewy, ie, you had to expel it out (too chewy) otherwise you'd choke. That was the expereince of my mom&wife. I on the other hand was use to the rough and tough meat, it didn't connect that I was paying for prime rib, I just dealed with it; the table next to me did complain and the waitress agreed and took it off the tab. Fast foward. I did complained online to OUTBACk, Manager who personally called me&mailed me a $25. certificate. My mom once burned vowed never to return (Old School), My wife&I did, we ordered the same menu, the extra large cut of prime rib. Both of us had the best god damn prime rib, I ever had!!! (waitress was good overall) Until you had an excellent cut of prime rib you totally forget what to expect. Third visit was opposite. Both ordered same large cut, but when we compared the meat, mine was half the size/amt of my wifes; She oredered med rare, it came out medium/well, tough&chewy. I ordered rare and it too was abit grainy&chewy. Inconsistancy in the quality of meat, the salad&bread is straight foward. I hate new waiters in training. Waiter didn't check on us, water&beverages neeed refilling, you have to find them, table not cleared. I just want to give a compliment to a young male waiter who always wore a safari hat and serviced the wall area (behind the kitchen wall) he was the best damn waiter, worked there nearly 4yrs but the last 2yrs he has since moved on. He was friendly, attentive, always checked on our table, quickly filled orders, always brought more bread, always refilled beverages w/out asking. OVERALL: "FAIR" PLACE TO EAT

• Pros: Variety of meats and pastas entrees, full service bar.
• Cons: crowded, long wait lines, dark lighting

Order anything BUT Steak folks

by lovemycoffee at Citysearch

This is the ultimate review from a picky girl who can cook, and loves good gourmet food with a grandfather that is a gourmet chef, so read up! I've read other reviews about Outback, and some of the dishes selected are all wrong folks! I know that it's a steackhouse, and one would assume their specialty is steak, however friends and I know that anything but steak is great. Prime Rib is easy to make people, it's always rare. My recommended dish are Alice Springs Chicken, be sure to get the honey mustard sauce that it comes with, and appitizer is the crab cakes be sure it comes with the diced tomatoes in cilantro as it adds flavor.

• Pros: Alice Spring Chicken, crab cake, free refills
• Cons: bad parking, sometimes long waits, steaks

Great Food For A Chain

by lord_humongous at Citysearch

There are three constants at this Outback Steackhouse; the food is always excellent, the waitstaff is always indifferent to the customers and the place is always packed at dinner. On the weekends you can wait for an hour for a table. Parking can also be a problem since they share the parking lot with the Chinese restaurant next door.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: , Bad Parking
