Dannon thank you for your wonderful service. We appreciated the wonderful atmosphere and attention

I come to this outback often as my girlfriend lives nearby and we've always gotten great service and everything is always cooked to perfection The 18oz Ribeye is always my go to order with their beef tallow fries, so so good!! The shrimp was alright though, I recommend getting the wings as the appetizer instead! read more

Attempted to dine in this location on Monday night with my 3 year old... upon entry I was greeted by the hostess who said "how many".. what a nice greeting..... taken to a booth where I sat over 10 minutes before being acknowledged. After 5 minutes I asked the hostess if anyone was going to take care of us she said yes... 5 minutes later I finally see someone go to another table and then disappear again without saying anything to me..5 minutes later the same person (Yaya) comes finally to the table. I immediately order my son's food with my drink... his tenders and fries come out and as you can see in the photo... yes they tasted as bad as they look. Hard as a rock, dry, but according to Yaya they were fresh out the grease... my son loves tenders and fries....he didn't want these. I I order my appetizer wings...tried to order a salmon dish but they were out of broccoli.... I decided I would be fin with the wings...20 minutes later... those never came out, neither did our sever. In the photo the 2 people sitting down are a host and her work boyfriend, they were so entertained with their phones and each other my poor experience right behind them went unnoticed. My wings never came and as you see we left those rocks right there on the table. I'll NEVER be back to this poor establishment. They weren't even busy, literally about 6 tables in the entire building, no excuse for poor service but explains why the place was empty. Don't waste your time or money here, go pay top dollar at a top notch steakhouse. read more

Soon as we came in we were greeted by Juan who was also our waiter, his customer service was excellent. I ordered a filet mignon with a side of sweet potato and a fully loaded baked potato made to perfection. The meat had such an excellent taste. Also ordered a virgin pina colada. My friend ordered a steak rear super delicious. If you are looking to have a party this is the place, the restaurant has ample space for all. If you live near or are visiting make sure to stop by and taste the delicious menu and service they have to offer. See you soon!!! Kiddos to the chef & Management!! read more

Outback has always been one of my favorite go-to places, but my last three experiences have made me feel otherwise. Today, I walked in and there was no host present because she was busy bussing tables. I understand being short-staffed since I once worked at Outback, but I'm just sharing my experience. The waiter was very nice, sweet, and pleasant, so the bad food wasn't her fault. so that's the only reason I'm giving it a 2 star otherwise it would most likely be one or zero for the most part. I was not impressed with the pasta, and I'm a pasta lover. It tasted like sugar and was not good at all. It only had 4 scallops, and 4 shrimp in it, which was kind of weird. The Boomerang Rita with four different margaritas, which usually comes out looking really cute as shown on the website, was a disappointment. I sent it back because it lacked any garnishes or salt on the rim, and the limes were very old and dehydrated. When they brought it back, it still wasn't right. The drinks were okay at best, but the last one tasted like a handful of salt ,there was no effort whatsoever. I probably won't be back for a while because I'm very disappointed--three strikes for me. My mom had a three-course menu, and it was pretty bad. Her baked potato was cold, her burger wasn't well done, and it was cold as well. The only thing she enjoyed was her Caesar salad. Usually, they bring you bread, but we only got one and it was never refilled. read more

Food is good and tasty. However the service is always all over the place. From very quick to very slow and in between. I love the Alice Springs Chicken and like to see that the menu keeps on expanding very so often. This location tends to be very dirty at times with lots of trash all over. Overall I enjoy the Outback menu dishes and come back only for that but have learned to start recreating them at home and sparing myself the lack of excellent customer service. read more

Whew who doesn't love a good quick bite to eat for an amazing price! Outback has been a favorite "go-to" of mine for a while now and it never disappointed me. Everything from service, the seating arrangement & food are all perfect. Sometimes service can be a little of a wait but that's because everyone loves to eat here so of course you should be next. read more

My husband and a few of his military friends (plus myself) came in for the Veterans Day special, and sadly, there was nothing "special" about it. Our server only came once to take our order, never checked back, and most of us never got our waters. The soups came out barely warm, and no one ever asked how things were. It wasn't even busy... We went around 11:30 several employees were standing around chatting instead of helping. As a server myself, I understand how hectic things can get, but good teamwork and hospitality make all the difference. On top of that, I still paid a little over $50 for my own meal and two cocktails, and honestly, it felt like a complete joke and a waste of money. If a restaurant is going to offer a special for veterans, it should truly feel like one. A tip for the servers: On holidays or special occasions, guests are usually more generous especially when they receive great service. Doing better not only improves the guest's experience, but it can also make a big difference in your own day too. read more

The restaurant is not clean, should have been my first clue. The waitress was nice but not very attentive. The bread was cold. The bloomin onion was good. My mom's steak was very bland and her baked potato not cooked properly. My Queensland chicken and shrimp had a good flavor and the meal was hot. My concern is the chicken looked a little pink, so I was afraid to eat it. We recently had Outback Steakhouse in Maryland a couple of weeks ago and the food was delicious. I feel like we wasted $85 tonight, it's unfortunate. We probably won't be back to this location. read more

Great food. We will be back! Good stuff.. Thank you no complaints at all. Great location too. read more

Outback is always a decent steakhouse. My steak was tender but was overcooked. I ordered medium and got well done. Other than that everything was good. Loaded sweet potato is always one of my favorites. The margaritas were strong and sweet. I would come back to this location. Our server was attentive and helpful when we needed. It was a good meal. read more

So it's NYE - we're staying in and decide on take-away from Outback, Richmond Highway. Really - steakhouse dip with only the chips? What an appetizer! As I return to get the missing dip (15 minute drive each way) - the rest of the order was getting cold at home..... Dip corrected - and the hottest part of the meal at this point.... Both steaks ordered medium are beyond well done..... HNY! If it's Outback you want - or just steak in general - either move on the the Outback in Springfield OR - Both Friday's and Appleby's have a great rib eye for less money than Outback.... Suggest if you're doing takeway - check your order BEFORE you leave - in front of the staff to avoid the argument.... read more

Lets face it, Outback is basically a fast food restaurant with cloth napkins. I've been coming to this location off and on for years. The food is normally fine. This last time I stopped in with friends we had the honor of having Josh as our server. This dude is AWESOME! He really made the experience great. His professionalism and attention to detail was exquisite. Again, the meal is basic cuts of meat and veggies, and normally good/fine/ok. It is what it is. Hoping Josh gets his due and cannot give him enough accolades! read more

Never had a problem at this Outback. Even on a Saturday night, my family hasn't had to wait long to be seated, if we aren't picky about which part of the restaurant we sit at. Waitstaff has always been pleasant. Steak comes out cooked to our preference, and it has always been tasty. read more

I am usually not a steak fan when it comes to eating out because my steak never comes out right: overcooked, too chewy, no seasoning or flavor. However, I had a gift card and thought maybe this will be a good place for steak, I was right! Definitely coming back here soon! Steak cooked: Always ask your steak to be cooked one level before your preference (I asked for medium rare when I wanted medium). It would be nice for a steakhouse to cook your steak how you wanted it, but this method works too. Other places would cook it too much as if it always comes out medium well to well done. Steak: very juicy, had flavor, and was big (32 oz)! I loved it to the point steak sauce was not necessary. I did not have high expectations for this kind of steak house, but this satisfied me to the full extent! Side Salad: very small complaint, my salad had too much dressing. I still ate it because it was still good for me Service: I wish I had gotten her name, but she was super sweet! She always kept us updated with our food when it took long and she made sure we were okay with our drinks and anything in general. When she offered to bring us sauces, she did not seemed to be annoyed, especially when I asked her to bring ranch. Place: too dark in my opinion, but I'm sure this is the atmosphere for their type of restaurant. Nothing fancy, can wear casual clothes. read more

Do not recommend. My wife and I went for dinner but did not eat. There was a lot of free parking but when we went inside we stood there without any staff acknowledging our presence. At least 3 staffers saw us and just went about their business. The restaurant was maybe 30% occupied so it wasn't due to overwhelming work. After waiting for 3-4 minutes we decided to leave since it was obvious our business wasn't important. I can't talk about the food because I didn't have a chance to eat. The environment (aside from staff) seemed fine. read more

Ordered a take out last night. It was good. The steak needed more seasoning. It was kinda bland. Unusual for outback steak! I got sirloin 8oz. The mashed potato was so yummy and broccoli was just ok. It was steamed broccoli but again some seasoning would make it superb. All in all, not bad at all for a quick dinner when you don't have time to cook but want to get enough nutrients. read more

Hello. I want to shine the light on the Host/waiter named Lynden @ the Outback in Alexandria VA. He was very attentive, he checked on us regularly, he was pleasant, so helpful. I want to thank him and let all know to ask for Lynden - he is a Superstar. Thanks Lynden! read more

Customer service was good, we received our food in a timely manner. I was shocked by the current prices of steaks on the menu. Most of the prices here are way higher than if I went home and just made a steak myself and the quality would be better anyways. The ribeye was 32$. I ordered the ribeye, I ordered it rare, it came out close enough to rare. But it was poorly trimmed if even trimmed at all, the steak had plenty of tendons and a large amount of fat that I needed to remove myself. I paid extra for the garlic butter and I had to use a different plate and scrape it off the steak due to it being such a strong flavor and super salty. The sides I got were a loaded baked potato and Cesar salad. the salad was fine, it tasted a little tart which made me concerned, but it was fine. The baked potato was small and not impressive, loaded would be a stretch in my opinion. Hardly any of the toppings were used. The restaurant itself was really empty and quiet, but it was also a Tuesday so that makes sense, but it also made me think that people are not willing to spend so much for such basic foods. read more

It seems that the quality of the steak changed starting about two years ago. I spend over $20 and I am only able to chew half of the steak. The rest is tough and full of gristle. This has happened several times, so I guess I should only have chicken or seafood when I get an order to go in the future. read more

We went here on Sunday (August 20, 2023) afternoon around 3 o'clock and service was okay although the waitress was dry! She didn't smile, she wasn't friendly. From there the order went fine but you don't get much. You won't be able to take food home. The flavors of the food are non-tasteful at best. I ordered the grilled shrimp; flimsy, egg noodles I could make at home, steak was tender but six itty-bitty pieces. My date had steak, Mac & cheese and salad (salad was good) small though. We won't go back to an Outback again. Ambiance was fine. The table was dirty my date asked for it to be wiped before we sat down. It's the little things that these restaurants lack. We've been to two Outback's the one in Arlington VA was better. A three is all they get for now. read more

We came here on 5/30 to celebrate my dad's birthday He died in 2014 BUT he loved steak so my husband and I ventured out to get a steak No wait. No crowd.

I've microwaved potatoes and I recognized the issue Easy fix though - we got another one Our server Megan was awesome and attentive read more

This outback can really be hit or miss. We've eaten here a handful of times. Sometimes we get excellent service and others not so much. Tonight was a miss for us. It was very busy and we were sat by a rowdy party. The food was subpar for the price. Our mashed potatoes were cold and the server was very stingy on bread and just all together unavailable. I had to ask another server for our check and then she magically reappeared. I am a sucker for a bloomin onion but that's the only reason we really come in here anymore. Disappointing. read more

Let me start by saying, I love outback. I've been going for years and wanted to take my nephew out for his honor roll performance!! The outer appearance was like all outback's and was a well kept exterior. They greeted us at the door and seated us immediately. I am trying to eat clean so I opted out of a steak this visit. I ended up ordering the grilled chicken with broccoli and a Caesar salad (not pictured, I was hungry) lol but the chicken was tender and very well seasoned. The broccoli was on point as always! My nephew had the outback burger and fries and he said it was really good. I try to get him to broaden his horizons but hey, he's 12. It was my first time at this Alexandria Outback and it was really good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Here's the fat which came off every bite of my $27 12 ounce ribeye which the manager took $15 off. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Had some kind of hope the environment and work ethic here had changed but was I wrong. The floors were dirty as soon as you walk as well the tables. Some of the staff only cared to play and gossip about the patrons. Even witness a waitress drop an entire order of food with broken plates and glass. The other staff just watched or walked around and didn't even bother to help clean it up. Now I ordered the porter house ribeye. The skillet and steak was cold I've never seen a "hot skillet" be cold to the touch. Taste and temp of the steak wasn't a fresh off the grill steak. The Queensland chicken& shrimp pasta was nothing to ever order. The chicken was so basic and lack flavor. The shrimp was decent but sauce and pasta tased as if it was out of a can and portion was the size for a toddler not a adult. One I hope this place gets the overhaul of correction needed. read more

No wait to be seated when going on a weekday night. Appetizers/entrees were spaced out well, and everything came out hot and tasting fresh. Once it got later in the evening, the restaurant started to pick up (and one of their systems was temporarily down) so it took a little longer to leave than normal but our server was really nice and made sure we were checked in several times throughout our dinner itself. read more

They were slow with no one there. Not really attentive. We just ordered apps and drinks. Ordered a drink with nothing on the rim, she mistakenly added salt, then wiped the salt off and it was all in the drink. Tasting like sea water. Cheese fries were meh. Also the bathroom was stinky. All the employees standing around, they can grab a Clorox spray or something. Just my opinion. Not returning! read more

About 2-2.5: The hubs and I came to Outback for an early dinner, as I had received a gift card a few years back. The menu is pretty extensive, offering daily specials, starters, steaks, other non-steak entrees, various sides, and desserts. We started off with a Bloomin' Onion, a hand-carved onion that is deep-fried until golden brown, and served with a spicy signature bloom sauce. This was a little overly fried, as it was super well-done (even for my liking), and heavier on the batter. Also, it didn't seem as if the excess oil was shaken off, as it came in a puddle of oil T___T The spicy signature bloom sauce is heavily horseradish-based and super salty, which seems to make up for the onion being not seasoned. For our entrees, I had the Victoria's Filet Mignon, while the hubs had the Bone-In Natural Cut Ribeye, both of us opting for the Baked Potato and the House Salad. My filet was just 'okay,' as while it was soft, it wasn't juicy and not flavorful. The Ribeye was slightly better, and even though it came out a perfect medium, there didn't seem to have enough marbling to give it more juiciness and flavor. The baked potatoes came out piping hot, and the House Salad was fresh, but might need a request for additional dressing. Our server, Christian B., was super friendly, attentive, and gave us some of his personal favorites and recommendations. He checked up on us throughout the evening and made sure that everything was good. The restaurant itself packed to the max, and even with it being super busy and lots of tables to juggle, Christian did a great job in making sure each party was attended to! I'm not sure if I'd go back to Outback, but I'm glad I was able to use the gift card finally and had Christian B. as our server! Plenty of parking available. +ask for Christian B.! +take-away option available +next to Bank of America read more

I have eaten here, Richmond Highway, VA, a few times. This is Outback Steakhouse, a chain restaurant, so you should know what the menu is. The food has been fine and on par with other Outbacks. The problem is that this particular restaurant is just slow. The staff seems to be buzzing around at a decent pace, but there is just something that lacks any sort of urgency at this Outback. Drinks can take 10 to 15 minutes to get as a rule and then food comes out 15 to 20 minutes after ordering and that is just the salad. I was here a few nights ago and had Terrel as a server. He was very attentive and professional. He, in my opinion, was the best server I have had there. Other servers have been polite, but after taking my food order, I didn't see them again until the check was dropped. I don't know if staffing levels are an issue or if both the bar and kitchen are the issue; maybe all three. read more
