I sat in the bar area and had Jade as my server... she was great. Greeted me promptly, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was very attentive, but didn't hover...that's the sign of a good server in my book. Food came out quickly and was just as I ordered it. I also had a nice chat with Izzy. Super friendly. I'd come back here just because of these two. I'll definitely be back, and appreciate the good service and great product! read more

This turned out to be a great surprise. My girlfriend and I wanted brunch on Sunday but every place was packed. We decided to go to nearby Outback and I'm glad we did. The establishment is clean and welcoming with a wonderful and kind staff. Our server, Elise was phenomenal. When she learned that neither of us had been to the chain for years, she walked us through everything. Not only was she patient, but she provided us with excellent recommendations. My girlfriend had a bowl of their baked potato soup, which she loved, as well as the accompanying strawberry lemonade. I had the Toowoomba Salmon, with a house salad and broccoli. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Tender and flaky, the sauce was not overwhelming but enhanced the flavor of the fish. The mushrooms and shrimp added more to taste and texture. We knew the food was fantastic because we didn't speak during our house salads. They were fresh and delicious. Impressed by the kitchen and Elise's personality and professionalism, we look forward to returning again very soon. read more

My boyfriend and I had a long day and just wanted a quick appetizer and I drink or two. We were delighted to find Don, the bartender, with his charming smile and witty demeanor. We had an excellent experience. Coconut shrimp and the famous blooming onion, and cheese cake to go. Don gave us a good laugh and service with a smile. He said informed us of the new menu additions and specials given at happy hour and such. We will definitely be back and with our appetites in full force. read more

We had to decide on dinner, and we chose Outback in Bethlehem: great meal, no wait, and a very friendly Christian who helped us choose the sirloin special. I want to expound on this gentleman, a good-natured individual who knows the menu. Christian is a real asset to this restaurant. read more

Steak in this restaurant is juicy and tender, my son in love with it this year, it absolutely help him grow fast, service is nice, it look like we would back again and again for the steak , American wood kind of decorate for this restaurant! read more

Our server, Thomas, was excellent. All the food was good except the 1/2 lb hamburger! I should have said something. It was loaded with Grease- even the hamburger roll was completely drenched in fat and very wet. I feel. Like it was the fault of a not so good cook. I deserve a refund for sure. read more

Unbelievable. They got rid of the best dessert, the salted caramel skillet. One of the best desserts cause it's one of a kind and taste amazing. It breaks my heart that they removed this delicious dessert off the menu and we the people want it back!!!! read more

I saw that Outback had a promotion for their Tuesday Tails so thought my wife, daughter and I would give it a try. The waitress was super nice and brought us ice water and warm bread right away. She took our drink order and gave us a few minutes to decide on our order. We all got the Lobster tail and Filet Minion with a baked sweet potato. The tail was small which we kind of expected for the price but I was disappointed with the filet. It was overcooked and black on both sides. The Sweet Potato however was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, unlike the rest of the meal. It might be awhile before we come back here. read more

Outback Steakhouse - 6oz Victoria's Filet Mignon* & Lobster - Steakhouses Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

My friend and I happened to be in the area on a Sunday afternoon for an event and decided on Outback Steakhouse. We reminisced about our Bloomin' Onion memories and couldn't pass up the opportunity. THE EXPERIENCE I can confirm from a previous review I saw that we had to wait roughly 25 minutes for a table when there were clearly ones open when we walked in. It probably was an issue over having not enough staff but I won't hold it against them. The ambiance is in line with your typical Outback steakhouse, slightly tacky but nothing wrong. Due to my Bloomin' Onion craving, I doubled down and got a Bloomin' Onion burger. My friend and I split a Bloomin' Onion and immediately noticed how excessively salty it was. Whoever was cooking that day was heavy on the seasoning and unfortunately it was disappointing. Naturally the Bloomin' Onion topping was salty on the entree but the burger itself was spot on medium rare. The highlight of the visit was the waiter. He was very attentive, made sure to check on us during reasonable intervals, and even packed sauces with our takeout containers. Overall, the food just didn't live up to expectations on this visit. I'd probably give this place a second shot if I was in the area, but proceed with caution. read more

Great food and timely delivery and you definitely get your money's worth. Will order again.

Every thing was perfect, from the online order to the waitress to the quality, taste and temperature of the food. We ordered a New York strip steak with mashed potatoes and house salad and grilled salmon with baked potato and broccoli. Scrumptious! read more

Ordered carry out today for lunch. It was great, the food was still hot by the time I got it home. And everything was correct and followed through on with the instructions that we put down. The girl who brought the order out to the car was very happy and such a bubbly personality. She did great customer service. read more

Loved the entire dining experience! After running errands in town, we phoned OB at about 3 pm to check when the new Surf & Turf Special would be available and BOBBY told us all day, so we headed right over to the Emrick Blvd location to indulge in this awesome deal. We like to sit in the bar area booths to watch the sports and the experience was totally awesome. Bobby, our ROCKSTAR server, was on pointe and personable. He took our order, about 15 minutes later, all food arrived hot, fresh and extremely tasty. The wedge salad, drizzled with that homemade blue cheese dressing was surprisingly good (I don't normally order iceberg lettuce), topped with sliced cherry tomatoes and bacon bits. $6 The 6 oz sirloin, med well, accompanied by a lobster tail and a loaded baked potato (which I complimented to Bobby how fresh, hot with the fluffy inside). $17.99 Brown bread with a margarine and butter mix that disappointed me only because this steakhouse didn't offer one pat of butter in entire place! I can't digest the margarine so passed on the bread. And that frozen drink, the one with the peach schnapps and peach purée and ok, now, can't remember the name yet it was delicious and refreshing. $7. (The Wallaby Darned, that's it, and it was darned good) We haven't been to this location since Covid and remember the food was always great. And the owner, Brian, was always so accommodating to us. And don't forget to sign up for their REWARDS program. read more

Great deal for lunch- $13.99 for a 6oz sirloin & loaded baked potato & came with a loaf of their rye bread. Delicious!

Have gone twice in the last month just for the Steak and Lobster special. $19.99 for this meal is a good deal. First time it was prepared perfectly with great seasoning. Second time was disappointed and would skip the special next time. Really appreciate that Outback recognizes Veterans for their service by offering a discount. Service was pleasant as always and the place isn't crowded midweek. Also really like their salads and sides. read more

Excellent service and food was great. Food was ready before the scheduled time which was great as I arrived early

We love coming to this location because of the consistently good food and service. However our last visit, one of the main issues was that I wanted to order a classic prime rib. On the menu it says available me all day but our server had said even though it says that, it actually isn't available all day, and available after 3 PM (we were there around noon) She did recommend the ribeye as an alternative and it was fine but tough, which is the opposite of what I wanted since I wanted a prime rib. Other than that the food was great. Sweet potato is always a great side choice and the bread is fresh and warm. I would say skip the premium side of the Brussels sprouts. It was swimming in oil and had a weird mayo topping on it. It was too greasy, especially for a vegetable side dish. The coconut shrimp is a great appetizer that I recommend to everyone, it's seasoned wonderfully. My husband ordered the filet and lobster and it was so good, I wish I had ordered that instead of the prime rib. read more

Went to Outback with some co-workers for lunch, our server was very nice and attentive but other than that Outback was just OK. I ordered one of the lunch specials where I got a soup and an entree for $10.49. I upgraded my soup to French onion for an extra $1.00 which was well worth it! The French onion soup was the best part of my meal. I ordered the steakhouse quesadilla as my main course which was terrible. It was very oily, had little to no flavor and tasted like it just came out of a microwave. The steak in the quesadilla was pathetic, with cheap slices of meat. Awful lunch experience at Outback this afternoon, 10/10 would not recommend ordering the steakhouse quesadilla. What I would recommend is the buffalo chicken sandwich that some of my co workers ordered and enjoyed! read more

Update** I have ordered take out to be delivered since Covid 19 numerous times, and this is one of the only close restaurants I enjoy close by so it has been convenient. I have ordered wings mild, cheeseburgers, grilled chicken sandwich, mushroom appetizer, tortilla soup, side salad, chicken tenders. All have been absolutely fantastic as well as the friendly service over the phone and delivery folks. Delivery has been quick and everything is usually pretty hot when it arrives to my door! I am kind of obsessed with this Outback, and it has turned into a go to lunch spot for me! I have been coming for lunch recently and I it has been good. I get the lunch soup and salad combo. The French onion is really good but you have to say for them to make it well done or it is cold. The wings have been good too. I really love their ranch! I still am not a fan of dinner here but lunch and the apps have been good and the service is good as well. read more

We went to outback last night after receiving an email for a free blooming onion email from our rewards. We had stopped using our rewards since it has changed to only giving $5.00 off the bill after so many visits instead of the previous plan. We get a better discount with AARP. We were seated at a hi top table which sounded ok but was rather uncomfortable for the entire dinner. Our steaks and onion were great. Service was excellent. We wish they had more promotions for frequent visitors and seniors. read more

I will never go there again cost me 180 dollars and 12 hours over the toilet. The one on emerick Blvd. In Bethlehem pa. ​ read more

Very disappointed in the quality of the steak last night. My husband and I ordered the Aussie Aussie Aussie special with the 6-oz sirloin. While the service (and sides) were good, Our steaks were dry, not flavorful or juicy at all. We were very disappointed in the quality of the steak as it appeared to be a lower quality steak than what we usually are served at Outback. This steak was tougher, and chewier which was very surprising as we ordered our steaks medium cooked, which usually produces a delicious steak. We would not order this cut of steak again.. read more

Have not been here in awhile. But they have not failed with great customer service. The food was very good. I have not been a steak fan most of my life but this past year I have been on a steak kick thanks to my girlfriend. Let me tell you they did not fall short on a well cooked well seasoned steak. And the mixed veggies were perfect. Not over cooked or undercooked and flavor was mouth watering. I could of just had a plate of just veggies. No let me tel you about the sweet potato. Big and delicious. Have to have brown sugar and butter. But I have to save the best for last. Onion blossom. Crispy steaming hot and always out of this world. Ate just about the whole thing. read more

(Let me preface the below mess by saying that I have never been a fan of Outback. A few bad experiences with different locations being unable to deliver what the menu advertises and I think in general that Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn are far better values.) Ah yes, the new normal. You know in these Covidly times where we sit at home and order food from places via a multitude of online platforms. Great in premise but of course the delivery person could care less if the order is accurate and there are times when the restaurant doesn't care either yet of course, they send the food anyway. Keeping it really simple: The order was two chicken tender platters and two 9oz. center cut sirloins. Both chicken tender orders were supposed to come with honey mustard yet neither did. One of the tender orders was supposed to come with a baked potato that was unsalted and with no butter/sour cream yet it came fully encased in salt with side cups of butter and sour cream. Moving on to the steak orders. Both were ordered medium yet both came fully well done. No pink whatsoever and each had a side that was encrusted black and hard as hell like it was only cooked on one side. I also can't forget the one steak order that was supposed to have a sweet potato with everything only to be sent just the sweet potato wrapped in foil, with nothing. So many places have raised their online/takeout/curbside games over the past few months and for the most part I've had great success ordering online but this was bad, really bad. The steaks were way over cooked and three of the four orders had sides/condiments missing or that were wrong. While I could just brush it off as a bad night, there is way too much competition out there right now from restaurants that are bending over backwards to do things right versus places like this which for this order applied zero quality control. Sorry but I really hate wasting money. Never. Again. (Ordered via Uber Eats on August 10th.) read more

Went here at 2:00pm. And the place was empty. Was told we would have to wait 20plus mins????? Since they only had two servers. Really? Not my problem. Not good for business to make people wait. When it's empty. At least they could have sat us at a table read more

What can you say it's Outback? Not a fan of change restaurants but we had a gift card. Call ahead seating is a joke don't waste your time, we still had to wait 25 minutes. Server was friendly but kind of rushed us for orders then was a little distracted after, but overall good. Food was good for what it is. read more

We went to mark our anniversary, expecting a reasonably priced, decent quality surf and turf type meal. Man we're we surprised! It was excellent, maybe the best steak and lobster I've ever had. The ingredients were high quality and cooked to perfection. Even the sweet potato was amazing! Thanks for a great special dinner! read more

Stay clear of this place! It is very expensive, which is ok if the food is worth it. We went(5 of us) on a Sunday evening. Mine and the steak of my daughter were inedible and unappetizing, so we're other items. I returned it, she did not want to make a fuss... If you happen to be hungry on rte 22 in Bethlehem, go to Applebee's instead. I won't set foot in this one again, plain bad. read more

Thanks to Manager Tom.. & our server Denise.. 5 stars .. Will be back..we had a great time..

One of my favorite places to eat is Outback Steakhouse, I decided to come to the one in Bethlehem (3200 Emrick blvd) for the first time. I can honestly say that the service here is horrible! Our waiter Bobby seemed to have 0 personality. He was in a rush to take our orders and when I asked a question about one of the drinks, he answered while walking away and took the drink menu with him. He checked on us only once after finishing our food. However, luckily one of the other waitresses Naomi came around to check on us after acknowledging our frustration and ended up taking care of our wants/needs. Ive been in the food and beverage industry for a-lot of years and know how to take care of customer service and the way he handled it...I could never! Naomi definitely deserves to be recognized because had she not come, i would've left! read more

Welcome to the pandemic (Covid~19), Saturday evening (5/2/2020)!!! I'm not afraid during this time but have been cautious. I haven't ordered from an outside establishment in the past 2 months, but the man wanted steak and I wasn't cooking, so off to Outback we go. We pull to the very far end to figure out what we're ordering, an extremely pleasant young lady came out to make sure we weren't waiting on an order. Once the order was made, she came back outside to ensure she knew the name on the order to look out for it. During our wait time Brian (manager) brought out the check. He thanked us for our business, inquired if we were new or returning customers (we are new), he thanked us again for making Outback our choice, along with other pleasantries that didn't have to be extended. Once the order was ready Brian brought our bag out, placed it in the car for us and sent us on our merry way. We received our food in the wait time quoted and everything was packed to my picky liking. My cold desserts weren't on top of my hot food (I loathe when salad or desserts are sitting on top of something hot) anywho, the bread and sauces were packed individually, I was extremely happy. Now the service vs food, how do they compare? Well, I'll be... We hit the ball out of the park, bone in ribeye prepared medium as requested, with good color on the outside, extra juicy and more than enough, broccoli was fresh, my Queensland pasta was delicious, well seasoned, chicken cooked perfectly (no shrimp), again nice color but not hard or dried out. I requested extra sauce because it's usually needed with to go orders, but I had more than enough in the regular order but you can never have too much sauce in my opinion so I poured more on. My son enjoyed his mac and cheese as well, thank you for no box mac, I despise paying $6-$10 for boxed mac. I would like to thank the entire Outback crew for making my day lighter, but an extra special thank you for being there and doing it with a smile (yes I could tell they were smiling even with masks on). As a hospitality worker you didn't take an oath to put your life on the line, but you're still showing up, so if anybody hasn't told you, I APPRECIATE YOU!!! Side note, EVERY EMPLOYEE, that walked out of that door whether interacting with a customer or going to their car had on mask, that's a big deal to me and gave me another sense of relief. So again I thank you. read more

There's not an option for zero stars but the food and the experience deserves it!!! Our steaks were subpar and one steak was not the cut that was ordered. It was sent back only to receive the plate back without a side. The same cut of meat and overcooked. The people behind us had the same issue and we could see they were frustrated as well. If you can't tell the difference between a fillet, ribeye, etc., then you don't belong in the kitchen. read more

Went today to celebrate with close family and friends for my parents 75th wedding anniversary. The servers, Jeanne and Howard, were top notch and accommodating from the time the table was set until the time we received the check. The staff even signed an anniversary card to give to them. I could not have asked for a better experience, and everything ran so smoothly. They even put candles on my parent's cake! And the food was excellent! Everyone had a great time. I would give Outback in Allentown PA 10 stars if I could. Thank you again! read more

I usually do not review chain restaurants but this one deserves a review. My husband and I visited the Outback in Bethlehem Twsp on December 17th and were pleasantly surprised. We were seated very quickly (about a 10min wait for a Saturday night) order taken and drinks and bread served within 5 minutes by a very attentive and friendly waitress. The owner I believe his name was Brian, walked around greeted every table and was working just as hard as his workers. Helping deliver food and making sure all the tables had everything they needed. It was very busy and the place ran like a well oiled machine. Our food was fresh and hot. The blooming onion was crispy, salads were fresh, my chicken was juicy, my husband's salmon was cooked perfect. Our drinks were never empty and we didn't even have to ask for refills they just were delivered automatically. We really had an enjoyable dinner. read more
