Let me start by saying I am really giving them a 3.5. But idk how to do half a star. So me and the family went there a few days ago to celebrate my step son birthday. The big 11.. he wanted to go there for his birthday. Now keep in mind none of us ever ate there before. So i went in a bit skeptical. And i am.not a big steak fan. So just ordering took a minute. The one steak item I wanted to try they sauce that came with it.. they were out so I was not happy about that. But we all ordered. I got a rib and chicken plate. And to my surprise the food was actually pretty good. The free bread they gave was fresh and delicious. The employees seemed nice. Service was a little slow. Which I was shocked because it was not packed. But other than that. It was a surprisingly good meal. It was more thumbs up and than down. So yeah. I would recommend outback. I would go back. There were a few things I wanted to try.

We were seated as soon as we walked in after leaving another restaurant that had over an hour wait. We placed our drink orders and a blooming onion - boozy blueberry lemonade and cherry limeade. The waitress dropped my water on the way to the table and I didn't get another until the end of my meal... It took a long time to receive our cocktails (the boozy cherry limeade was good). The bread and appetizer arrived first. I requested my own bread and honey butter but it was the last item I received. My Alice Springs chicken came with very burnt mushrooms... after waiting until closing to get my meal, I had to send it back. The cook should have never sent that out. The loaded potato wasn't loaded. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't receive bread and honey butter until I was almost finished with my meal. I was having a horrible day and just wanted a good meal. Restaurants are having a difficult time obtaining quality staff... service tonight has convinced me to just cook and eat at home for awhile.

The woman at the door wanted me to sit at the bar while other can sit anywhere. (Minus one star ⭐)
The bartenders weren't as friendly but I forced them to smile. The regulars get most of the service ( Another star deduction ⭐) I have been to a few steakhouses and this one will be rated as average which means I had better. The funny thing.. Only the Marriott in downtown Columbia can make a proper lemon drop.
I have them 3 tries. One was not shaken with ice but was pour together. Training. Do I have to call Bar Rescue to this place?? The dinner made up for the rest. So cheers for the cooks. 🌞

If steaks were nothing but thick shoe leather, this meal would be a perfect experience. Outback steakhouse is a shadow of it's former self. I honestly don't know why I keep going back. It's like they are everywhere, so it's easy. I tell myself, "Self, maybe this time they won't totally screw it up". But alas, every time I have ordered anything from Outback Steakhouse in the last ten years, it has been dreadful. Do yourself a favor, and order food from Texas Roadhouse. They still care about quality, and their steaks far surpass the quasi-protein grey lumps of canvas that Outback serves as steaks.

Everything was excellent, food, service, and drinks!!! The appetizer below was the bomb! The blooming fried shrimp. Our server Brittany made our night great!!! Thanks for an awesome date night!

The food was great and our server was excellent. I believe her name was Dee(?). She handled our family of 14, with multiple tabs, with patience and kindness. All our orders were correct and she checked back frequently even though they were extremely busy. We all enjoyed our lunch especially my 94 year old Papa. Thanks for making his birthday lunch a great experience!

A little disappointed..3rd time, my Chicken and shrimp pasta was super cold and the actual pasta noodles where hard and stuck together and very cold...Usually Outback food is delicious..Oh well..My son loved his dish..The waitress, she was nice.. I'm still waiting on our appetizers it's been 30 minutes, still waiting on my Steakhouse mac and cheese rolls 😫 Finally lol

Ordered take out. Was missing items. The guy bringing me my order was great but the two women handling the to go were annoyed that I went through the bag to check and had attitudes with me.
Fast forward a few weeks. My family wanted outback tonight. Ugh my gut said no, but I went ahead and ordered to go anyway. This time I wouldn't even give them the 1 star I gave last time. Below I will add a pic of the chicken tenders. They were tough as I don't know what and extra small. We all know their meals aren't cheap. There was a time when you got decent sized tenders that were actually tender. My potato was extra small too and I had a Caesar salad that was full of romaine stalks. Understand romaine can have some stalks but when you discard them and you have more stalks then leafy lettuce...it's a problem. Below are the 3 tenders remaining. Should have taken a pic of the whole meal.

Griff and his team at Outback are the best !!! If you haven't been here I highly recommend it. The food was perfect and so delicious. They make you feel like family. If I could give more than five stars I would. Our server Jordon was excellent. The best steakhouse ever. Thanks Griff and Jordon for making my day the best ever. We truly appreciate it. Thank y'all so much y'all really are awesome! God Bless each and everyone of y'all.

So today i work a double, and on my break i was craving cheese fries from outback (actually really just the ranch because it is so good). So i did takeout and picked it up and the service and courtesy from the employee was awesome and great. What i hated was that the cheese fries (i got a large with a large ranch) barely had any cheese on the fries and it was only on the top. The fries underneath had no cheese whatsoever. Outback’s cheese fries used to be my favorite dish at Outback and in general since i was a little kid. Ive noticed that their portions have gotten so much smaller over the past 5-10 years and they are putting less and less cheese and just effort overall each time i go. Another thing was the size of the LARGE cheese fries order. It looks like the smaller portion. Overall i paid a little over $16 and got an order that looked like it shouldv’e costed $6.99 or even $5.99. I usually never complain, especially being a server myself, but im fed up with Outback. Pictures of my order are in the comments. (I understand its been eatin some but i was just so fed up after trying to enjoy a shitty meal).

The place was packed so we had a bit of a wait but not bad. Service was good. I had the steak and lobster, which was delicious but the meat was too salty. It was very loud--almost too loud to carry on a conversation.
Scott Vaughn
All good , little bump when waitress spilled whole glass of tea in wife’s lap but manager took care of whole meal and offered dry cleaning. Lucky we were coming back from outback bowl and had extra clothes.
Larry Jennings
We had the surf and turf. Service was really good and courteous. The food was delicious and waiting time was good. Our waitress was very attentive and all the courses to our meal were prompt and accurate. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Was not pleased at all. I’ll stick with Longhorns and Texas Roadhouse. Floor was too slippery. Cost waaayyy too much for the portion size you get. Food was mediocre at the very best. All you. All you can eat shrimp, not so much. I’ll stick with Red Lobster.
Amanda Gartman
Went on a Saturday around 4pm. No wait, but it wasn't crowded either. Great food! Its Outback! Clean establishment, good service, great food! Highly recommend!!

Went to dinner here with my elderly parents (in their (80s). The service was mediocre at best, they weren't busy at the time. When the waitress finally brought out the checks, my parents left a $50 gift certificate (which more than covered their meal) and cash for a tip. We were in the parking lot and my parents were about to close the car door when the waitress came running across the parking lot, yelling st the top of her lungs that my parents left without paying. There were approximately 10 people standing there staring. My parents were humiliated and embarrassed needlessly. When we explained to the waitress the gift certificate was left with the cash, she huffed and stormed away. She never apologized or anything. I called and spoke with the manager, who asked for my parents name, address and phone number. All provided to him, but 3 weeks later he has not contacted my parents. We did go back in to the restaurant at that moment as we were all very upset by the incident and we were on the way to a school event with my grandchildren. Won't be going back to this establishment.

Went for evening meal for my wife's birthday. Used call ahead seating. Arrived about 10 minutes early and they promptly seated us. Ordered the prime rib, both of us, and had the bloomin' onion appetizer. Server was great, food was great, probably the best prime rib around, absolutely great dining experience.
Kelly M. Jordan
I won't ever eat here again. Food was terrible and brought out cold. And the female manager acted clueless and incompetent. Instead of serving people and doing their jobs, employees were loafing like it was a social club I won't even try any other Outback. This is an honest evaluation.
Carrie Arthur Stebbins
Went for Father’s Day. The restaurant was extremely warm and they did state the ac was on. People were fanning themselves. Then my husbands steak comes out and when he’s just about finished eating he sees the paper ticket on his plate under his meal. Gross. They refunded his meal but overall exp was bad. Place is dirty
Christi Owens Steagall
Maybe 10 tables eating and full staff working on Memorial Day. We were a party of 4 (2 kids) Waited forever for everything. Not a great experience. Server didn't seem bothered at all that we had to wait on everything either. Food was okay bit not worth the wait.

Typically like this restaurant. Ate there tonight and was disappointed. Had a sprite spilled on my son and all over my shoe. My shoe got wet enough that my socks were wet. We helped clean the mess! Once we received our food the disappointment continued. My grilled shrimp was cold and my steak way overcooked. The waitress paid us little attention after she spilled drink on us. I may have eaten my last meal at this place. Not looking for anything free but could have at least comped the drinks!
