Great place, great food and outstanding customer service. wife was happy i don't know if it was because we had no kids with us or because of the great time we were both having but overall i definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Just finished a far less than inspiring meal at Outback. We have experienced good quality service in the past - the distant past. Over the last 18 months Outback quality and service has been backsliding. Fromt time to seat until first appearance of waitperson: 5 minutes. Gave drink order. Took another 5 minutes to bring 4 glasses of water. Waitperson disappeared after water was delivered. Another 10 minutes for waitperson to reappear. We place the orders. Orders straight off the menu - no specials. Salads show up couple minutes later. Another 20 minutes pass before main course arrives. Food was not what we expected - nothing like the past. Flavors were totally off, meat was not cooked to expected doneness. Waitperson, servers did not stick around long enough for comments. One positive is that we were seated upon walking in the front door at 6PM. That alone should have told us something was up. Deteriorating service can be pinned on two sources: Corporate or Local Management. Not much to do if Corporated mandates a reduction in service except find another place to eat. If Management is the problem then Management and staff need to be evaluated and corrective action taken. Pretty certain this was our last visit to Outback. Third time is the charm. Just will not tolerate bad food and bad service. read more

Last time that I would ever visit this place. Ordered a medium well done steak, got an almost rare one. Server was kind enough to take it back and within 5minutes I get the same steak reheated back on table. Seriously!!!! Is that how you correct your mistake by reheating the darn thing. Oh and it was served with a smile " we can make a fresh one if you want" why not just make a fresh one. Don't even waste your time coming to this outback. read more

Horrible - Horrible - Horrible! Server had a hard time with english hard to understand him. My wife's cod was dried out! My steak was like shoe leather. The server disappeared and we had to snagged another server to get us a box. This restaurant has gone down hill and not worth the $60.00 we paid... read more

Stopped in for lunch on 4/5 and it was great. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious. I would definitely return based on this visit. read more

One of my favourite places for a reasonably priced meal on a Friday night, the staff are great, the menu has something for everyone, and my daughter enjoys playing the games on the electronic menu. read more

Every time we come here, the food is so delicious! Everything is cooked to perfection every time! So much flavor, and filling! The cheese fries can't be beat! We recommend getting them "layered" with cheese-dooo good! Our favorite server is Lydia! She is so friendly, and always great service!! read more

Nice atmosphere. Clean dinning area. Thanks Travis for giving us a free blooming onion as first timers!! FYI They give away free blooming onions for first timers. We will come back again when we crave for steaks!!! read more

One of the good aspects of eating at a chain is that you know what you are getting yourself into. The food, menu, service are fairly consistent. It's no different with Outback. Once in a while the Outback just sounds damn good. Like the little sausage mcmuffins from McDonalds... you know you shouldn't eat them but sometimes they just call your name. That's how I feel about the Outback. The beer is icy cold, the bread is tasty, I like their house salad (with honey mustard), and I just get the "outback special" which is a basic steak. Is it Jak's? No way. Does it hit the spot the same way that McMuffin does? Absolutely. read more

We ordered the bloomin onion for appetizer, sirloin, mashed potatoes; he got the mixed veggies and I got the Cesar salad for our other sides. Everything was average, nothing great was nor was it horrible. I'd probably eat here again, eventually. read more

Our server Logan was great. Unfortunately a great server does not make a great dining experience. My Prime rib was the right cook, but it was tough, had a piece of bone in it, had no crust, and was cut really poorly. :( My kid's ribs were dry as the bone they came on. My margarita, I am convinced, had no tequila in it. It's a shame too because this trip was given to us as a gift. Sorry Outback, I don't think I'll be returning to this location. read more

Had pretty low expectations, but here is a summary of our visit. 1. No silverware at the table 2. Waiter forgot ordered beverages 3. A staff member walked by loudly belching, WTF??? 4. Steak too salty, tasted freezer burnt, good thing that isnt their specialty..oh wait 5. King crab legs tasted like bleach read more

We called and made a reservation for 6 people at 530. We get here and after twenty minutes of waiting... They tell us that other people made reservations and it could take up to 20 minutes longer. We finally get seated and after terrible service all night and not even free drinks or anything offered... We hear that the table next to us gets a free appetizer because "it took a little long to get to the table". They obviously have no idea how to have proper customer service and I refuse to come back to any outback steakhouse after this. We honestly contemplated just walking out on the bill. read more

Really? Meh. Not that I frequent Outback too often and this visit reminded me why I don't spend money here. Although our server was nice, it was slow and almost painful to watch him as he stumbled through our orders and delivery of meal. The food was just mediocre. I won't be coming back. read more

I thought the Outback used to be pretty good (10+ years ago), but the last three times I've been to Outback I've been very disappointed. The steaks were mediocre at best and the Bloomin' Onion was a terrible tasteless greasy mess. Portions are also small for the price. read more

Not as bad as other yelpers rated. My steak came out the way I ordered, and service was great and warming. We all know what to expect from Outback :) read more

There are a lot of restaurant choices in Bellevue. Food, of course, is an important component of the decision process when selecting a place to go for a quick dinner, a team offsite, or a quick drink. The Outback in Bellevue is also all about the customer experience. I really enjoy the staff here, the customer service is awesome. If you're looking for a great place to go in Bellevue/Eastgate, look no further, the choice is easy! read more

Ordered the shrimp and on the first bite noticed something was off. Ended up suffering from food poisoning for the next few days. Beware eating here since the (sea)food is not fresh! read more

A good option for travelers staying in this area who are looking for steak or salmon. I was waited on by Travis in the dining room and the service was beyond excellent. Pricing , is high. I find $6 for a pint of Fosters a bit much. read more

I keep wanting to have a good experience here but 9 times out of 10 I don't The wait staff is always wonderful but the food is disappointing ...especially considering the price. Tonight I was served undercooked chicken! I sent it back and was still charged full price! Unbelievable!!! read more

Service was good. Food was horrible. The menu needs to be updated to avoid dinner surprises. I won't be back.

We waited over an hour to get our meal. The appetizer arrived after the salads. The steak I ordered was rare at best when I ordered medium. The waitress never checked in on us while we waited for an hour. We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Service was ok and food was acceptable but not great. What really made our experience unsatisfactory was the restaurants refusal to honor the nationally promoted $15.99 steak and shrimp special. Our waitress told us flat out that this Outback is a franchise and did not honor the heavily nationally advertised special. They had the same thing but for an additional $4.00. I do not appreciate the old bait-n-swtich and we walked out. read more

4 years since I wrote my last review here and the service has gotten worse as well. Took them 10 mins till I was greeted and sat down for dinner. I saw my server, Nicole several times and she was excellent. Once to take my order and drop off my food. The blooming onion rings were burnt and over fried. The shrimp was suppose to have beacon and one ship had one piece of beacon wrapped half way around it. I had to ask for steak sauce as there was no flavor on the steak at all. Way to much pepper on the garlic mash potatoes. The bread was dried out and not fresh. Keep in mind i came in at 8:30 PM too. Maybe, its the reason why the food wasnt so great as i came in later then most. So far the best thing I've has was my coke. I was asked by the manager how everything was and I explained to them everything and was told they would take care of dinner. After 4 years since my last review I figure things would at least get better. I hope for better results. Let's hope this review can change. read more

See all

Over all good. Server was very friendly. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Good parking.

Food was decent (the blooming onion always looks better than it tastes), but my wife's salad had a bug in it and not only did the server not credit her whole meal off (he offered a free dessert, which we declined) when the bill came they actually charged us for the bug salad! So that was quite awful I think. Not impressed with that... read more

Just DO NOT GO. Poor quality steak. Slow service. Old backed potatoes. I really mean it. Spend your time and money at a good restaurant. read more

We went on a Sunday night. The restaurant was in the process of being remodeled. But that was not a problem. However, we saw several flies buzzing around and they actually became irritating during our meal. The water pitchers were stainless steel and uncovered with the flies were buzzing around them. The booth was very small for the two of us on one side and the seat was uncomfortable to sit on. The table seemed disproportionately tall for the seats. My husband is 5'10"and I am 5'5" so we are not short people. In general the restaurant didn't seem very clean. The server seemed friendly enough and seated us right away. We ordered the onion bloom. It was way too oily for us. They brought us some hot bread. They did not refill the bread like they did at the Outback in Kirkland. To be fair, my steak was actually OK. The vegetables I ordered were cooked enough. And the baked potato was acceptable. Mom seemed to be OK with her meal as well. My husband ordered the prime rib. It was way too rare for what he ordered, which was medium well. It was tasteless even with the au jus. Sending it back to be cooked more didn't make it any better. It was cooked but there was no taste at all. Of course it wasn't pleasant having to wait for his steak to be cooked again while the rest of us were eating our meal. Leaving the restaurant there was a rug over a gap in the floor that almost made me lose my balance. We left the restaurant regretting having come and will never eat there again. Jak's in Issaquah would've been a much better choice -- either that or dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. read more

This is right down the street from me and I eat here at least once a month. I always order the ribeye, I don't waste my time with anything else. They can do ribeyes quite well and the price is fair. I get Ribeye with Broccoli and a ceasar salad. I don't ever order anything else. When I crave steak but don't want to fuss with lines at Jacks or dress up (which is always, I'd go naked if I could), I head to Outback. The REALLY need to overhaul their soups and sides, though... I've had sour/spoilt potato in the mashed potatos. I've never ordered them since. I don't want to get carried away with giving everywhere I eat a 4 and 5 star review. This place is GREAT for your neighborhood, afterwork or Friday casual steak... For what it is, it does pretty well. (edit: i've upped my review because I eat here all the time- it's consistent, affordable and high quality for the price. i don't even know why i had less stars last round, must have been drunk.) read more

I hate doing this, but I actually loved the outback food last time I was there. However, this time I called a few months in advance to schedule a catering to go order out of Olympia. It was not intense really. It was 8 blooming onions and 12 loaves of their rye bread. It was for our huge family Christmas party. I was informed I had to call the month the order would be needed. Super frustrating because I am a planner, but totally understand policies are in place for a reason. Ok fast forward to December 1st. I call to give them my order for the 18th. Woman that answered said we don't take orders for a future time. I would have to call back to order the Day before our event. Started calling on the 17. No answer all day and I am panicking. Called again several times the next day, which is the day of the event, no one answered. I thought fine I will just do an online order. You can only put 1 blooming onion in the cart!!!!!!! If I wanted to do it that way, I would have 12 orders and my bank would have shut my card down thinking it is fraudulent Purchases. Finally, called it a massive fail. 3 hours before the event had to make other plans for appetizers and bread for our Prime rib dinner. read more

While I don't expect much at Outback I do expect that the server will at least get what I ordered entered and delivered. Well, don't expect that at this Outback. We ordered Coconut Shrimp for an appetizer - never got it. My wife asked for water multiple times... Never got it. I gave them one more chance and I shouldn't have. read more

We went in for the Wednesday walkabout menu. It was advertised for 9.99 which is a choice of steak or chicken, one side plus a beer or coke. Waitress couldn't find the menus , told us the steak was 11.99 and no beer. No menu on table gadget for walkabout Wednesday. Manager told us it wasn't available on the west coast, even tho we have had it there before. Service was horrible and food was mediocre at best. Last visit to outback for us. read more

Update... I sat in the bar as usual. The table was dirty with a old bar rag that smelled in the table. Waitress came up and "cleaned" the table and fling a piece of bacon on the menu and the walked away leaving the bar rag on the table. Ordered a well whiskey and sprite happy hour menu says it's $4. Not it's $6.50 Because apparently it's in the rocks and tax.... hmmm mental note I guess dont believe what the menu prices say. I know it's only $2.5 more but next time I'll go someplace else where it's worth it and does not smell like a dirty bar rag. read more

Too expensive.. family of 4 we paid $340 with the tip for 4 dinners .. the food was mediocre in terms of taste.. just a bunch of pan fried small size steaks chopped on the pan a small lobster tail, a scallops, two beers, a cup of miso soup and two sea weed cups! that is a lot of money for the mediocrity.. you can spend your money much more wisely in other places, and get much better tasting and quantity food than this! Scam! read more

This is not a place that comes to mind when I am looking for a place to eat. My friends ordered the blooming onion. The batter has a ton of flavor but the onion has no flavor. When you bite in you feel your lips covered in oil. I must give props to the sauce that comes with it. You might as well order that sauce with everything you're having. My fiancé ordered ribs and steak and I ordered soup and salad. Our friends ordered steak and also soup and salad. The meat came out closer to well than medium. The cut of steak were grainy and dry. I think it's ok. Nothing fancy. read more

We met a friend for dinner here, at their suggestion and it was a completely average experience. The place was packed and though I hate waiting for a meal, especially when I'm hungry, a table was ready before the estimate. They were short of menus for some reason, but the tablets worked just fine. Our server had the soft drinks plus the bottle of wine to us promptly. I enjoy the taste of their blue cheese salad dressing and wasn't disappointed. My filet and other selections were cooked exactly to order. I've always found Outback to be very consistent with the quality of their meals and this location was no exception in either direction. read more

Do not trust the other reviews. For they do not mention the blooming onion. The blooming onion actually consists of several onions. The onions are cut into french fry shaped pieces, and strategically placed all over a plate to look like a real blooming onion. These pieces (of ART) are f*&^ing delicious. One of the other reviewers likes this Outback because the one in Guam is good. Another reviewer hopes that a waiter got fired because he told them that the potato soup sounds gross but it really isn't. Well, the blooming onions are ripe for the picking, and the steaks are very decent. I don't know what else one would expect. If you don't like Outback then go out back. read more

Horrible food! I ordered the bacon salmon and sweet potato. The salmon was very bland with no flavor and the sweet potato was a yam. My husband ordered the rib eye steak, it had so much fat and gristle, only half of it was editable. We complained to the manager and he did give us 25% off. Won't be back. read more

I like Outback for what it's worth. Good food. Good service. Big, chain atmosphere -- in a not-so-bad way.

The service gets a 5 star. She was efficient and very friendly always attentive to our needs. This was great since we had a 14 month old at the table . The food was hot and good. The steak was a pretty good. Cant complain after all the price is reasonable. Not the first Outback we been to but one of the best experience. So don't let some of the reviews fool you . read more
