Outback Steakhouse

Curbside take away is extremely slow. Didn’t get my food until 35 minutes after I arrived and scheduled to pick up. disappointing :(Would not recommend.

Had a bartender, Keith, I believe, slow service, brought out an undercooked steak even though menu has photos of medium steak and he also voiced pink inside. Wife received both salad and soup at same time. Manager made it good by buying a round of drinks but Keith, when I tried to settle with cash and a certificate said I still owed $ 2+. I put out a $ 20.00 and waited and waited but Keith stayed away. Finally, when I asked for change he said he thought the rest was for him. Really — $ 18 for bad service on a $ 60 check. The older bartender is way more savey and experienced.

Had a gift certificate; first time here. Food was good. Really surprised they charged us for seltzer water! Asked waitress and she said she was sorry she should have warned us — but then didn’t remove from the bill! (She was a great waitress other than that!)
We split: onion petals, volcano shrimp (not as good as it looks), Caesar salad and potato soup, fire grilled salmon w/​mashed and took the cheesecake dessert to go. All pretty tasty!

Hadn’t been to Outback in quite a while, but decided to give it a shot as it was on the way home. I had the 9 oz sirloin (medium well) w/​unlimited garlic shrimp, wife had New Zealand lamb w/​unlimited breaded shrimp & our child had a simple cheeseburger. The sirloin still had whip marks where the jockey had hit it to try to win its last race. Granted it was only a sirloin, but it has to be edible if it isn’t free. The garlic shrimp could not have been any smaller and since they were drowned in butter, you wouldn’t want a second helping. The lamb was mostly fat and horribly overlooked. The lamb was supposed to come with a sauce and if it was the cold gelatin in the cup next to the lamb, it certainly wasn’t what should be expected. The child’s cheeseburger was slap shot worthy. Bone dry and just plain nasty. Great Service, but Terrible Food! $ 120.00 for 2 adults & 3 children’s meals. It has to be good for that price, no?

Crappy service, cold and stale bread, incorrectly cooked sirloins. Bad outback experience overall.

The service was very average, my son and I ordered the filet mignon with unlimited shirmp, but it took 15 minutes for the waiter to bring out the second batch of shirmp. It rakes wait too long for waiting for a second batch of shirmp. The shirmp was small and there were only 10 each batch. It does not with ordering it…

Consistent experience which is decent food and fairly attentive service. That said, if you ever want to know what the bartender or server thinks of their customer, shift, co-​worker, etc. just sit at the bar and they’ll talk at a level that makes it obvious to anyone within 10 feet.

I’ve been there so many times that I may as well finally review the place. It’s a good Outback location; food and service are above average. My favorite is when they have the steak and lobster special. There’s no question that I’ll be back here again.

If it wasn’t for the 45 min wait after calling 20min prior I would have given them 5 stars. Our server (wish I could remember her name) was outstanding and very friendly. She took our drink order and appetizer order at the same time. Drinks came out right away. I ordered a 22 oz beer but got a 16. Our waitress picked up on it after I drank most of it. She went and got the 22 and I wasn’t even charged for the 16. My steak was cooked to perfection and so was my wife and sons. Both our appetizers and our main dish came out with perfect timing. The mashed potatoes were slamming too. I recommend calling 30min prior to your arrival especially on a Saturday night.

My teenage son loves steak, and though he is broadening his food horizons, he’s just not that picky about his slabs of meat. So, when he’s willing to dine with us, he usually chooses here and we get quality family time that doesn’t break the bank. Usually it’s a passable 3 stars, but tonight was a 2. His steak and shrimp combo came with 4 of the saddest little shrimps; his requested medium steak was tough and more on the rare side… but he was ravenous so he ate it. Hubby’s porterhouse was also to be medium and was practically well done. Well, maybe my tilapia would redeem it? Nope! Overly salted and I left kind of queasy. Sigh! Should have gone to El Limon where we’d all leave full and happy, with 70 more bucks in our pocket.

Ordered online and was told order would be ready by 7:10. Arrived around 7:00 and was told it would be right out, and would I like a drink while I waited. Hostesses were great. At 7:35 a hostess finally went to see what was «taking so long» and came back after a few minutes with the order. When I got to the car most of the entrees were missing something I had asked for, no extra ketchup or anything and the real kicker was that everything was bland, cold and stale, despite the fact it wasn’t even ready at the original time.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. We were sat at a table and did not meet our server until about 10 mins after sitting there waiting. Then our server came over and apologized because he wasnt informed that he was serving our table. I can move pass the lack of communication between staff members. I was totally disappointed in the food at this location. Ordered the 22oz. bone-​in ribeye steak medium rare. But as I was cutting into it started to notice that it was more on the rare to tartar. It was so rare that it was requiring me to be very firm with my cuts into it. Also I cut about 6 ounces of fat from my steak and sat it aside. It wasn’t edible in anyway unless you’re a dog. But at least the staff was willing to take blame for it and stand with the kitchen staff on the bad food they are serving up. Doubt I will be back to this location anytime in the near future.

I’m so disappointed at how my steak turned out. I ordered the bone-​in ribeye thinking it was going to melt in my mouth with the seasoning just right but unfortunately it was not like that at all. The sweet baked potato was amazing and the service was not bad. The manager came to talk to us and she insisted that my steak was medium rare but offered to have it cooked longer if I wanted. I declined as I had already lost my appetite. I’m going to stick with Texas Roadhouse.

Difficult experience with the waiter.
The manager fixed our issue. We’ll see how the rest of the evening goes.

The service overall was very slow, from the appetizers to the salads to the steaks. The restaurant was not busy as my got there at 9:30 pm. I ordered the Ribeye medium and it came out well Done so I sent it back. It took another 10 minutes for the steak to be done but it was brought out by the manager. She had me cut into to make sure it was correct this time. It was and tasted very good.
Our server Joi was great and very apologetic of everything.

We have gone to this particular Outback tree times now and have had the same consistent service, quality of food and portions. I know that their salad portions for example have decreased over the years, I think that is more a corporate thing than any particular location. I personally would rather have a smaller portion of a good quality lettuce, than that cabbage mix they used to throw in there that was almost undigestible! That being said, we have gone on a weeknights, were sat immediately and we out the door in around an hour, not feeling rushed one bit.
Expectations are high for a steak dinner at Outback and I have not had a problem with this location and will continue to go here as long as they keep it that way.

Food was good! My Server Lauren MARCOLINA was a delight, she made my dinning experience a true pleasure! She was very pleasant and her knowledge of the menu was extremely helpful! I will definitely be returning and requesting her as my server she was that wonderful’

Unlike some, i really don’t have a problem with a solidly performing chain restaurant. There is something to be said for predictable a-​OK food anywhere in the country, especially when you’ve had to travel for business as much as I have. Some nights you don’t really want to find out that Tex’s Yum Yum Steakhouse is gross. You just want a decent meal.
This Outback fits the bill nicely, with solidly performing predictable food. They got the «Pittsburgh Rare» right — something not every griller can do. The Bleu Cheese & Pecan Chopped Salad was seriously YUM, I could have that as a meal all by itself.
Here’s what sets this one apart — really good service. We ordered, devoured the bread, then the next thing we know Kaitlin the very nice Manager was apologizing for the delay we hadn’t noticed in getting our appetizers to us. OK.
Philly in general is not a great steak town (As opposed to, say, Kansas City, Tucson, or anywhere in Texas). So for a decently cooked flavorful steak, you really can’t go wrong with this Outback. They take care of your experience there too, which is a plus.

This is your standard chain steakhouse, with a better wait staff and actually good food. The blooming onion is a must when we go, not only for the deliciously breaded and fried monstrosity, but also for the sauce. I would bathe in that sauce if given a chance. The steaks are steaks — not memorably special but always prepared how you ask. And since this gal asks for steaks «As rare as possible. It can’t be too rare for me,» but still gets medium-​done steaks from more celebrated steakhouses than this one, it is to be greatly appreciated when a steakhouse gets it right. This steakhouse will always get it right.
Prices are reasonable, though they did increase the price of the onion. And like I said, the wait staff is always good, and the place is pretty much always busy.

I had a nice experience at this particular Outback. Service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was good. Food quality and amount was good, but I have never had a bad experience at any Outback. I did not wait very long for my food, especially my favorite the Blooming Onion! Cooked to Outback standards, and always tasty in my book. It was a little confusing the night I went because somehow they lost power to their outside lighting so I thought it was closed, but luckily someone was outside to explain the situation. My burger was cooked like I asked, and the ribs that were also served at my table were cooked well, and tasted great. Can not complain about the experience.
