Review Outback Steakhouse - Ellisville

Me and the missus had a good experience at this location. The food (we both had some chicken and bacon creation and no appetizers or deserts) was hot on arrival and accurate as well. The server was friendly, prompt and seemed eager to fulfill our needs. All in all you get what you pay for at this popular chain restaurant. This is our second satisfactory experience here.

Restaurant was clean and our waiter was friendly and attentive. My pork porterhouse was cooked to perfection, it was juicy and flavorful. Others in my group thought their steaks were a bit dry however that could be because of the cooking choice.

The food was great but the server was awful. She failed to get a draft list after asking twice for it and then brought the wrong beer. She didn't know the menu at all. It took forever to get our order, and we were waiting on an appetizer for about a half hour. Once we finally got the appetizer, dinner came out immediately after. We felt rushed to eat and leave. The table next to us ordered a bottle of wine and she seemed to be unable to comprehend they wanted to drink the bottle at the table.

There was a horrible smell as we step foot into the restaurant. Almost like raw sewage. It was not crowded at all for a Saturday night. Five employees were socializing in th front not paying attention or able to seat anyone. They didn’t seem to know how to do their job. The manager sat us. The manager cleared our dirty dishes. The manager did everything! The floors were dirty and sticky. Won’t go back for awhile!

My sister and I dined at this location on Monday evening the 15th of may it has to be one of the worse meals that we have had in a long time, started out with the waitress trying to put us in a booth that was too small even though there were only about 8 people in the place. The waitress didn't tell us if there were any specials so we ordered, I ordered steak and lobster tail, sister ordered prime rib, we both ordered coffee, which she had to make, brought it out with out any sugar, had to ask for it, brought out our meals, mine was so cold the butter for the lobster was solidified had to send it back tried to eat my steak, not only was it cold but had so much pepper or spice on it , I couldn't eat it. Sisters prime rib was barely warm and very gristly, had to ask for bread, and wasn't given refills on our coffee. Very dissatisfied since we paid quite a lot for this meal.

I have to say the coconut shrimp appetizer was great, and my Alice springs chicken was the best I've ever had there!! I would've rated this visit a 5 stars, but the hostess was so unbelievably rude, that we almost left. I'm sorry but working as a hostess is not a hard job by any means, and when you are rolling your eyes and acting put out to seat people, mumbling under your breath at the same time is a first for me lol if I wasn't 7 months pregnant we would've never stayed 😉😁

Had the Sunday lobster tails and 2 sides was delicious. We love your cesarean salads too. The dressing is excellent. Tails done to perfection. Jenna is an excellent wait person. It was relaxing and fun. The music was a bit loud and we asked to have it turned down. Jenna did and was thoughtful . Very pleasant and helped make our meal even better with her service and smile.

The service is usually great here... Tonight was not. Service was extremely slow, the waiters were just kind of tossing stuff onto the tables because they were in such a hurry. The food was sub par as well, the fries were bland and my steakhouse quesadas were SUPER salty. Our bread was hard and not fresh. Needless to say, we won't be back for a long while.
