Outback Steakhouse

Been coming to outback for 15+ years. Haven’t been in awhile. Went back last night (4/20/24). Worst experience ever. From the start the hostess was rude, acted like we were inconveniencing her by putting in our name to be seated. Told us a hour (wasn’t very busy), got a text 15 minutes later that table was ready. Hostess was trying to get us to leave with the long wait time .People like that just shouldn’t be dealing with people. 1 thing we noticed that was very odd was our server Julian slams everyone’s drinks down. Even the lady sitting next to us at another table. She said she thought someone threw something at her when he slammed her glass down on the table.Blooming onions are tiny compared to what they used to be.(shrink-flation, I get it, just disappointing) I ordered a beer and when brought out literally looked like a little worm in the glass. Glasses were nasty. Took an hour to get our food. My steak was over cooked, my wife’s was undercooked (we both ordered them medium). Brussels sprouts were very bland and cold, overall was just mediocre. Server slammed down 1 refill 1 time for 1 of our 5 person party. Everyone else sat there with empty glasses. We had a similar experience at the same location about 6 months ago.We go to a steakhouse almost every weekend. Anymore usually longhorn. Outback used to be on the same level as the other options. Outback is a step down anymore. Honestly don’t think we will go back. Food, service, and staff is all lacking.This seems extremely common anymore, employees with attitudes, service lacking,etc. Not just Outback but almost everywhere. But there are other restaurants out there that haven’t lowered their standards like this. I’ll be visiting them next week.

This was my first time trying Outback. I won’t be returning. The blooming onion was burnt, sprite was flat and when I asked for water instead she said the carbonation was out. I ordered medium rare and medium well steaks that came out rare and well done. I had to ask for ranch multiple times before I received it. I left most of my steak because it was just not good. There were literally 2 pieces of shredded cheese on my baked potato. The only thing that was good was the French onion soup.

Once again we had the best food and service. You can’t beat this price point either.

I went to eat here for dinner tonight and the service was awful. It started as soon as we walked in. The hostess was extremely rude and it took her ten minutes for her to find us a table when no one else was waiting and tables were open. She didn't apologize for the inconvenience and didn't even make eye contact with us. Our table service was also slow. When we got our meals the sides we ordered were on different plates. Not a good experience at all. Will most likely not come back if service continues to be this awful. We even heard other tables near us complaining as well.

The food would be 5 stars but one of our steaks wasn't prepared as requested. Although we did mention this to the waitress, she was more than willing to get it corrected with no further questions. Great service and I personally loved the Bloomin Chicken! It's hard to get good food these days but Outback almost always comes thru.
