Love me some Outback! Take a trip down under for some great food! Steak, shrimp, and loaded sweet potatoes is always my go to and I am never disappointed. My wife always gets the Bloomin' Chicken which is crispy chicken, flattened and fried like their Bloomin' Onion. Our service has always been great here too! Very friendly staff read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak, shrimp, loaded sweet potatoes, and fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Finally checked Outback Steakhouse off my restaurant list, and I'm honestly a little on the fence about this visit. I'm willing to give it another try someday because I know restaurants can have off days, but this particular experience was mixed for me. We started with the famous Bloomin' Onion, which was definitely good and crispy, but the dipping sauce didn't have much flavor to me. I also tried the Boomerang Mozzarella Sticks after seeing them on TikTok -- they were okay, but not quite the "wow" I was expecting. For my entrée, I ordered the Alice Springs Chicken (without mushrooms) with French onion soup and parmesan corn. The chicken itself was decent, and the parmesan corn was good. The French onion soup, though, had a flavor I just couldn't figure out and ended up not being for me. I was actually disappointed because I love good French onion soup and this one just missed the mark. The server noticed I hadn't eaten much of it, checked in, and apologized, which I appreciated, though it wasn't removed from the bill. Another entrée at the table was the steak and Alice Springs Chicken combo with fries and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese had a flavor that wasn't really a hit either, so overall the meal didn't completely impress. Overall, I can see why people enjoy Outback, but this visit just didn't fully win me over. I'd still be open to giving it another try and ordering different things because maybe this just wasn't the best day or the best menu choices for us. read more

Decent restaurant with good steak and of course the Blooming Onion! I'd really give it a 3.5 but rounded up. We found the onion to be a little too salty and greasy. But the DelMonico Ribeye was really nice. Nice thick slice and grilled right. Mashed potato was good and we upgraded to the pecan bleu salad. Salad was ok. We thought the had Happy Hour but the only item as $1 off beer. Service was also just ok. But it was nice that you can pay at the tablet on the table. Restaurant is attached to a Comfort Inn hotel. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

RC had a gift card and invited his old mom out to dinner. We went early, at 4:00, because neither of us had lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store was pleasant and clean, with a warm and cozy vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the grilled shrimp appetizer which consists of 6 well-seasoned, plump, lovely, grilled shrimp. They were perfectly cooked and a right-sized meal for me. RC ordered the twin lobster tails with sides of fries and fresh veg and as the server dropped his plate he said he'd be right back with the other lobster. We looked at each other quizzically as there were two on his plate. Turned out, the chef thought one of the tails was too small and sent out a third. That was impressive! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. read more

Outback is decent. To be honest use to be much better. The price increases have kept my family away. Our last bill Was well over 100 dollars. The quality simply doesn't match the price anymore. Said because I use to frequent this spot read more

Got the grilled chicken with bbq sauce which was very good. My companion got the burger and also thought it was good. It's great that the restaurant is attached to our hotel. Service was excellent!

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

This was a superb trip to the outback. We sat at the bar because it was pretty busy on a Friday night. We were able to sit down right away. We had two bartenders and tandem. Both were very attentive. The great thing about Outback is you know exactly what you're gonna get and they always deliver. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This seems like it's a newer outback. The bar rail is much more accessible than the old style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious. If you haven't been to outback in a while, I recommend going. read more

We came here around 6:45 on a Wednesday. We sat in the bar area because there was a wait if we wanted normal seating, which was fine. We were tended to about 10 min after we sat down. Our meal and drinks came out pretty fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since we were in the bar/lounge we were seated about 4-6 inches away from people, which was pretty close, but we chose this spot because of the wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned amazingly, hence the 4 stars. This place is attached to a hotel, so the parking lot was pretty busy. If it weren't for the steak I'd probably rate it a 3 star, but the steak was just that good! Over all I'm not sure if we'd come back but it was an average restaurant experience! read more

I haven't been to an Outback Steakhouse in ages. After I got to Minneapolis, I was absolutely famished and needed food quickly. The pizza place I wanted to eat at was out of the question due to distance and not having the energy to uber there. So, I came here instead because I could walk, get in and out and get back to my hotel quickly. Walking in the place wasn't busy at all and I got seated right away. I didn't expect it to be busy solely based off the fact that it's a random Thursday night. Anyway, I found a seat at the bar where most of the patrons were sitting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was well decorated and seemed to have a nice vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I scoured the menu and went with the Three thing combo or whatever it's called. It came with salad, three different meal options and a dessert. COOL! I went with the burger since that was more my mood at the time. I got pumpernickel bread to start which was delicious. Then, I got a Caesar salad, but the dressing tasted a bit heavy on the anchovies? It wasn't bad but slightly overpowering. Anyway, my burger came out and it was good. I could barely finish it to all the other food that I'd had already. It came with fries, but the fries weren't that good. No worries, I wasn't there for the fries anyway. I guess if I were to go again, I'd get something else next time. I also got a free slice of cheesecake that I took to go so I could eat it later. Not bad. All of this was only $14.99. Amazing. Overall, not entirely bad. I did enjoy my meal here and the food was good along with the service. read more

We just decided on a whim to pop into Outback Steakhouse, when we saw it was right next to the hotel we were staying at before an early morning flight. My gosh am I glad we did! They were pretty busy, but the service was still excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays and was very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And as always, the food was so wonderful. I absolutely love when a steak is so good you don't need any steak sauce. That's how it should be! My sirloin was cooked to perfection, charred on the outside and red on the inside. The ribs were also delicious, the meat was tender and falling off the bone, but there was such a good crispy char on the outside. I live for their mashed potatoes, I will say the asparagus could've been seasoned and cooked a little better. My wife had chicken and shrimp over fettuccine and absolutely loved it as well. The food at outback rarely ever disappoints. Thank you for a great experience! read more

The steaks were good, but there was really spicy seasoning on them. My husband's filet mignon looked exactly like my cheaper center cut sirloin. The mixed drinks were less than satisfactory. The service was great, though. Food was served promptly and with a smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before we got our food, the manager stopped by our table to see if things were ok. We might give them another try. read more

We've never been to an Outback Steakhouse and decided to visit while in town from southern Iowa. Despite it being a holiday (July 4th) we were seated quickly by the friendly and welcoming staff. Our food arrived after a short wait. I had the prime rib and my husband had the porterhouse. Both steaks were top notch and cooked perfectly. We would definitely recommend this location! read more

The one real plus was the food, it was flavorful and well cooked. However, the food was largely overshadowed by the space, staff, and accessibility. Starting with a location warning, this restaurant is part of the hotel, and shares a parking lot with another. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is set up to pack in as many tables as possible with very little to no space for movement outside of the established staff pathways.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is very overworked and short staffed based on numerous side conversation wait staff was having, I would say they did the best they could. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although it is labeled as accessible the tables and booths are set too close to accommodate, the management is focused on turning tables rather than a comfortable dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not an experience I'll be repeating or recommending to others. read more

This outback is always good great service and good food their 3 course meal is perfect and would recommend.

Haven't been to this location as we used to go to Burnsville a lot. Our server Ivy was outstanding. My daughter likes ranch with darn near everything and she made that there was more than enough. My wife ordered the steak salad and it was perfectly cooked for her. I ordered the sirloin and shrimp and it came out hot and I forgot to take a picture. The only thing that might be a downer was my shrimp were a little cold. The noise was average for this type of place. Overall not a bad experience. read more

Sophia handled out party of 11 very well. She kept food and drink refills coming at the right intervals. Food was very good; hubby enjoyed seared Ahi, and the dressed sweet potato was incredible.

Outback has a $15 lunch deal that I tried and it's great for the price. Start with an app like a soup or salad or upgrade. There's several entrees (I had the burger) or again you can upgrade. Then cheesecake for dessert. Service was good. Food was good--the burger I ordered medium rare was actually medium rare--and the potato soup and cheesecake were both good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location seems pretty old but it seems to be well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

You only get one set of real Parents so respect and honor them while you have em!!! My Mom could pick any restaurant she wanted but chose this life! love (believe me we picked her mind on which restaurant she'd like). With that being said, what a LOVELY TIME CELEBRATING LIFE with my siblings and my grandcuties for my Mom's Bday. I planned this trip a year ago and was praying it would come to light so thankfully it did!!! I attempted to do a "surprise BIRTHDAY party" but my Mom hates surprises even though, she was a bit surprised!!! If that makes sense lol Continue reading... The restaurants location is perfect, as it's located right by the "MALL OF AMERICA" and right off of the highway giving easy access. I called to reserve seating for 9 but the nice lady who answered the phone, told me that they don't take reservations but, she did tell me after, I told her that it is my Meemahs Bday, that they could do priority seating for me which was just as good! Thank you ma'am, YOU ROCK!!! Upon arrival, another nice lady sat us down WITH PRIORITY as promised, and then our waitress, Sidney (on receipt) serviced us. Overall, Sidney did a good job but, I was taken back when I asked about the staff coming out to sing HBD to my Mom and Sidney words were " we don't do that here"!!! ‍BOOOOOOO!!! STEP YALL GAME UP!!! I was flabbergasted considering that the nice lady on the phone told me that they would do something special for my Mom. We already knew about the ice cream freeby but, I assumed they would sing. Oh well!!! OVERALL, It didn't matter because, when the time came for us to sing HBD, my Little brother (if you know him, you know him ) had the ENTIRE RESTAURANT JOINING IN, LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD OLE TIME!!! MY MOM REALLY ENJOYED HERSELF AND LOVED IT ALL!!! I want to thank the bunch of dudes at the table next to us for REALLY PARTICIPATING WITH THE LOUD SINGING AND LAUGHTER needless to say,it was a great turnout and they ended up being apart of our group. Lmao Oh let's not forget that, my Mom had a secret admire in the house. Shhhh The food was good and plenty of it. I loved my pasta dish. I didn't like the appetizer chicken wings though, as they, tasted as if, they sat out for a long time and then fried...kinda spoiled tasting. Everything and everyone enjoyed their meals though! To the staff: Thanks guys! Hope that, we all made your night fun during your shifts! Of course, I'd eat here again but, I won't take Birthday celebrations up here. read more

Went on a Monday afternoon. It's very nice on the inside but the Parking lot of the hotel it's connected to really makes it look a part of town you don't wanna be in. We weren't greeted at the door but our server took good care of us. I got the strawberry lemonade and enjoyed 2 and half cups of it. It was pretty good, refreshing. We got the bloomin onion cus you can't come here and not get it! It was perfectly seasoned! The outback style prime rib was a smile maker, I almost shed a tear out the corner of my right eye it was so good. read more

Outback's online ordering experience was seamless. The pick up process was even smoother!

One thing I'll say about Outback is that no matter what location I visit, I always order the same thing, and it's always consistently made, and my steak is ALWAYS cooked perfectly. Had a steak w loaded mashed potatoes and asparagus and everything was excellent. Even snagged a few of my sister's Brussels sprouts which (although they look awful in the photo) were delicious! My sister's martini is pictured--she said to include it as it was awesome. Took off one star because 1. we sat at bar and the staff were chatting so much I had a hard time trying to flag them down. 2. While my steak was delicious it was poorly trimmed and has too much gristle on it. read more

I ate at an Outback last Month in Florida and it was terrible. I didn't want to repeat, but this Outback was next to our hotel so we rolled the dice. Service was good. My meal was excellent. I had the same dish as my last encounter, except a different cut of meat. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. They restored my faith in the brand. I would have given a five star, but my wife had soup and salad and she said was only ok (who goes to a steakhouse and doesn't have steak?) I would definitely eat here again! read more

My partner and I came here for V-Day last year after my friend had raved about the good cheap steaks and other food. We got mac&cheese bites, filet mignon, and bone-in ribeye. I had ordered mine well-done, and it came out medium rare with blood oozing out as most do, so we told the waiter that I ordered well-done. The chef came out a few minutes later, upset, and insisted my steak was fine. I told him that I ordered well-done and received a medium rare. He said "it's more medium well actually" and my partner said, "that's still not well done" The cook came back with another steak, which was actually more like medium well this time, but I didn't say anything... We were sitting right in front of the kitchen entrance, and after that, he watched me eat the rest of the time we were there, which wasn't very long, as I started to feel very uncomfortable. Despite that being our first experience, we decided to go back because we wanted another cheap steak dinner that we knew had good flavor. Our second visit started with waiting for the hosts to finish their conversation with one another before being greeted, even though we were right in front of the host stand and they were looking at us while talking. We were seated and waited a good 5-10 minutes before our waiter came and he did not seem delighted with us. His tone was very "I'm over this shit," and he kept rolling his eyes. Cut to getting our food... My partner's steak tasted like they had soaked it in dirty dishwater like actually.. if you've smelt dirty rags before that's what it tasted like. And everything else was not good either. My partner was very upset by the bad service and food, so he requested to talk with the manager who did not want to deal with us either. He asked what was wrong, my partner explained, and the manager asked what he would like them to do, and my partner said he did not want to pay for the meal. The manager then asked that same question about 3-5 more times until leaving our table without any resolution. Nobody had come back after 10-15 minutes, so we left. Safe to say, we will not be coming back again. read more

My steak, the most expensive cut ordered at our table, was requested as Medium but was delivered Blue. No thanks. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly. Since my steak was so far underdone, it 2as chewy and littlemofnyhebfat had rendered making it somewhat unpleasant to eat. My wife ordered a soup side but was given broccoli with her meal instead. My salad side was delivered without issue. Drinks were fine. Desserts were quite large and also quite fine (and filling in my case). Issues: we didnt have a server but several. It seems because it this some signals were crossed and things not done quite properly. I'd mentioned yo the girl that asked how things were that my steak was a bit under, and later when our guy server (the one we placed our orders with) came to collect plates and ask about dessert he didn't seem the least bit informed and didn't question why half a rib eye was still on the plate. All in all, it was a disappointing visit. We had never seen issues like this at the Burnsville location before it closed (though I admit we were not frequent visitors anyway, things have gotten expensive the last few years). That said, the next time I'm in the mood for Outback we'll drive to Maplewood or Coon Rapids or Hudson, WI insteadnof visiting this store again. It occurs to me the reason this location is still in business is due to it being attached to a hotel near the MoA and the airport. read more

Adequate . Except for a good server. The food was adequate. The streaks were adequate. The salads was adequate. (My girlfriend said it was good) the fries were adequate.

One thing I really do not like is when eating at a restaurant, they pile on the plates before you are finished. I ordered soup as an appetizer and half way through, the runner drops my dinner off to the table. My server Kim sensed my disappointment and had the manager Jennifer come to me. They were very apologetic and sensitive to my frustration. They removed the soup from my bill and had me leaving with a desert of my liking to go. I left here very satisfied with the service and their genuine desire to right a wrong. Thank you for a great dinner. read more

Incredible slow. Waiting and waiting and waiting. Seems a little disorganized, one person takes your order, someone else brings ur food.

Did Curbside takeout during this pandemic times. Ordered online and went to pick up. Majority was fast and easy to use. However, I had some trouble applying my gift card online. I called and was advised they can help me when I get there. Arrived at the restaurant location, and there were signs up clearly marking for those food delivery services and for those doing curbside pickup. Staff greeted when parked. Service was fast and friendly! The gal who helped me with my gift card issue was so kind and did it with a smile! That's what customer service is about! Greatly appreciate it! Please keep on smiling and continue with your great service! Ordered the ribeye steak, loaded potato, caeser salad, fillet mignon, sweet potato and house salad. All were delicious!

My 5 year old was in the mood for steak for dinner and Outback had a no delivery charge until the end of April so that was perfect plus there's online ordering. During the pandemic, I didn't want to do curbside pickup and was happy that they deliver to our address. So I ordered online and specify the dinner time for delivery of 6pm. I had completed my order around 4:30pm. Food came around 6:30pm. The delivery person apologized for the delivery being late because they were busy. Food was room temperature but still flavorful. We had their Wednesday meal deal of 6oz sirloin with a side and drink. So three orders of the sirloin steaks with add on grilled shrimp. We also got bread. It was a good dinner. 5 year old was happy. read more
