Outback Steakhouse

"Typical, fairly loud place. Couple of non-locals cussing up a storm beside us. Saturday night- got on waitlist, but still had a 45 minute wait. Server was apologetic and was kind. Our blooming onion came out after our entrees. I was disappointed because I never had one before. My steak was a perfect med-rare, but my husband's medium prime rib ($30) was dry as a bone and brown inside. Not recommended. But the 6oz $21 sirloin and coconut shrimp was fine. Only 4 shrimp. Good, but should be more."

"For $74 for old food and two people, the food wasn't good at all. The salad has to be returned because of the old lettuces and other parts of the salad. The waitress was so nervous, she brought me back a tea instead of a coke. This must have upset our waitress because she came back once and once to get our money. It was also nice to hear some employees arguing about something. For this to be a premium place, where or what happened? When I see the person who gifted us this gift card, I'll explain why not to give anyone another one!"

"The waitress took care our table very best services and foods are delicious inside restaurant floor is clean"

"Had dinner with my oldest girl and it was awesome. The service was top notch and the food was amazing! If you haven’t tried the Aussie fries, you’re missing out!"

"Update! Just visited yesterday evening, Saturday, October 20, 2023. This was Not the same experience that I previously posted. Outback has went down hill! The Front Staff were not very welcoming at all. We walked in and asked if we could sit in the bar seating in a booth. The woman said, “Go sit down where you want and I will follow with menus.” We sat down and she wasn’t nearby. We waited then I walked back up to her and said, “You said you were following.” She said, “I got distracted and will be there.” She finally came to the table and just said to us both, “Here you go, I was distracted!” Their prices are incredibly much higher like you would pay at an Upscale Restaurant not a chain. I personally would recommend Firebirds if you want to have a nice evening in an actual upscale restaurant. The Blooming Onion was good but was so tiny. Not at all like they used to be. The brown bread was as it always has been. The Steak Salad I ordered for $17.99 was one of the worst salads I have ever eaten! I. order salads often at restaurants and for the price I expected it to taste good. The lettuce looked like what I would buy at the grocery store in a bag! It didn’t taste fresh or crisp and their was also discoloring. The steak was alright but nothing to brag about. Seriously, I could have stopped at any grocery store and grabbed a prepackaged salad if that’s what I wanted. Note to Corporate: I understand cutting costs but when you jeopardize flavor, freshness and inflate the cost that is not going to help your bottom line! Fresh ingredients is necessary if you choose to have salads on the menu. Otherwise remove from menu since nobody wants to waste money on terrible food. Plus, $19.99 for Alice Springs Chicken! That is way to high! I have previously ordered this many times but it’s just a small piece of chicken with cheese, bacon. Certainly, not worth that exorbitant price. I will go elsewhere if I want to spend $20 and something much better. Also, if you want to cut costs get rid of the useless Host Station. Maybe have menus at every table and seat yourself. That way customers are not having to wait for menus. I was asked by our very nice server if I wanted another salad. I refused. The taste just turned me off anything further. The manager also came to the table and I shared my views. My friend with me also concurred that her salad tasted like bagged salad. The manager confirmed that it was bagged lettuce. But that the other toppings were not. As I told her if you start with cheap, bagged lettuce it doesn’t matter what goes on top, it is still terrible. I told her Demos Restaurant has a salad with nothing but lettuce and carrots that is delicious every time. I am not planning on returning until they make some changes there and do not recommend wasting your hard earned money there. As I mentioned Murfreesboro has an excellent upscale restaurants. ********************************************* Why do we go to restaurants? We go for the Food! The Drinks! The Service! The Atmosphere! And lastly we want a good price too! Say no more! Outback has it all! I have been an Alice Springs Chicken Fan forever! It is always delicious! They have managed to keep the Lunch Price at the same price this dish was 10 years ago for Dinner! That alone is amazing! The Old Fashioned is a must try! They use KY Bourbon and let me just say that the Smell is Phenomenal and the Taste is Superb! Worth every penny! Great to enjoy with friends, family or alone! Look at that Cheese in the Soup! Goodness talk about using fresh, real ingredients! Don’t be shy here! They have their famous Bloomin Onion with dipping sauce that is also wonderful to share! I have to say I am a huge fan of this restaurant. The Staff is always welcoming, fast and on it! The Manager even stops by occasionally and checks on you. Now that is rare these days. He was very nice and actually answered some questions regarding this Old Fashioned. That’s how I can say with certainty that it’s here to stay and that makes me very happy indeed;) See you at the Out Back!"
