Food not always have the same quality. I've experience it my self. A restaurant must maintain the same quality all the time.

Looking for friendly, fast customer service with yummy food? Head to Outback Steakhouse in Brandon and ask for Ashley & Allie at the bar!! I was in town for work and had stopped in for a quick dinner before heading to the hotel. Ashley welcomed me asking for my drink order and quickly brought my drink and a menu. The French Onion Soup, salad, sweet potato and filet were all delicious. Ashley & Allie had a full bar with happy, smiling customers. Come join us! You will be glad you did. read more

Standard high quality food and well trained staff. Very busy night, and our service was prompt and well paced. My compliments to the management team on first rate service all around. read more

Outback is usually a great place to go for a meal. We've been to this location several times before with no big issues - tonight was a different story. Our server Gilbert was at the table within about 5 minutes of us being sat. We ordered our drinks along with the Bloomin' Shrimp and Aussie Fries for appetizers. Drinks took a bit to arrive - the appetizers took close to 20 minutes. The shrimp we're advertised as being dredged in the Bloomin' Onion seasoning. Instead of being "golden brown and crispy" they were very dark and heavy with oil. Not overly tasty but we picked through them. For our meal, I ordered the Outback Prime Rib, medium rare, with seasoned rice and French onion soup; my son had the Prime Rib sandwich with the French onion soup as well. The soup was the definite high point of the meal. When our entrees arrived, they were delivered by a runner or another server who dropped and left. My son's sandwich came out pretty decent. The cook on my Prime Rib on the other hand was another story. I can't ever recall a cut of meat being served to me where it ran from rare to medium rare to near medium well all in the same slice. The seasoned rice was barely lukewarm. I would have brought this to Gilbert's attention but we didn't see him for another 15-20 minutes. At that point, we just wanted to be done. When we asked for the check, it took nearly 10 minutes just to get that. It's a simple point of customer service in a restaurant - if you get tied up, ask someone to help you. Dropping a check is a quick task for anyone. The dinner service was lacking severely tonight and the food sub-par for the brand's standards. If we choose Outback again, it won't be this location. read more

Reason why for the three stars? It's simple the waitress was very slow on refilling our drinks she didn't understand what kind of island drink I wanted. She also didn't have the patience to take our drink and entree order at the same time she was too in a rush instead of waiting patiently. My 11oz steak was ordered well done but it came out the first time really raw and sent back then came back out still raw after being on the grill for three minutes with the manager coming back with the steak that was supposedly been fixed and cooked to my liking it came out raw again. I told the Manager that my steak was suppose to be cooked well done not raw he couldn't understand me as well he was too in a hurry to leave the table. It took three times to get my steak cooked the way I liked it. It even had black pepper and some kind of spicy seasoning that made the steak way to spicy to eat but the manager didn't offer any way to make it up like take my entree off the bill or how he make the customer happy. Over all experience this place has changed over the years since opening and now seems like the entrees isn't that great anymore. Seems like the staff is too much in a rush to actual see if the customer is happy with their meal first before leaving the table and making the customer wait with his entree messed up. If your going to have a bar please keep it up to date with mix drinks such as island drinks as well so when someone comes in wanting a special island drink they can have one instead being told off the bat the bar doesn't know what I am talking about isn't a drink called a 'Veev Caipirinha'' which is a very popular drink around the area most high end restaurants carry Veev Vodka. One of the waitresses even said we're not classy enough to carry this type of Veev Vodka. Yes, that is what she replied with even the three managers didn't have a clue what Veev Vodka is and same with the Bartender. read more

We had an exceptional experience! The food was fabulous and our server Isaac was very attentive and did a great job making our dining experience very enjoyable. We really enjoyed our dinner at this location and we look forward to returning to enjoy in the future! read more

Had a date night recently and was super disappointed. As soon as we walked in I could tell that the hosts were having issues, despite not being very busy at all. Our server was inattentive and we struggled just to get refills of water to the table. When it came to the food, my partner ordered his steak med rare, a very common cook, and it came back BARELY rare. The cow was mooing people. He didn't send it back because the table next to us had the same issue, and the poor guy never received a proper steak and left hungry. The salmon was good, the atmosphere is good, but it's very clear to see that no one really cares about the job they're doing here. read more

Sitting here having lunch with my mom. Started out a little slow because Katie our waitress was not informed we were her table. Once Katie knew she was our waitress she was able to get us our bread and waters right away. Katie took our order and had a manager come over because of the misunderstanding. The manager was polite and apologetic. Katie was a sweet and wonderful waitress. She was quick and got order correct. The coffee is good also, this is from my mom. We had the ahi tuna and fried mushroom appetizers. Sirloin and grilled shrimp for dinner with a blue cheese chopped pecan salad. Outback you made it a good lunch by being so nice and having a waitress like Katie. Thanks read more

It has been a few years since I have been in an Outback the staff was good and the restaurant was clean the food was very salty. I know they salt the outside of the baked potatoes but everything had too much salt read more

I dine here through takeout at least once a month. Just dropped here to say "thanks" for an orderly take out process, an order that is always right, and consistent food. Thank you! read more

I've been in the service industry for a very long time. I came here for dinner tonight with family and hands down had the best dining experience! Isaac was amazing! Perfect timing for everything! His customer service was top notch. Wish I could have him come teach some of my coworkers how to properly serve. We will definitely be back and requesting Isaac from now on! read more

By other half loves to come to Outback - while I stick with preferring more 'ethnic-fare' he sides with a baked sweet potato and salad w/honey mustard ;) * On Wednesdays there is a 2 for $25 option we've been digging lately. You can share either a small version of an appetize or a dessert and 2 entrees for this price. This makes things more reasonable than the usual steak prices. Food - My preference has always been the Outback special: 6 oz. steak w/a greens salad (w/vinaigrette) & green beans. Hubs digs the same w/a baked sweet potato and side salad w/honey mustard. The Ahi tuna on crispy won tons and the chicken quesadillas are our favorite appetizers! Atmoshere - The Outback in Brandon upped the ante! The new decor and more 'chill' mood opens up the space and gives diners a more quaint feel than the hustle and bustle of the bar area - should you choose a more quiet surrounding. Overall - we come back, it's a great place for dinner Only set back: parking. That parking lot for all of the businesses in the plaza gets crazy! read more

Fantastic food! Friendly staff! We went there at 8:00 p.m and we had to wait for 15 minutes. We ordered the The Bloomin' Onion, Spinach Artichoke Dip, 9oz Victoria's Filet. Also, we had a baked potato, garden salad, and french fries. The meal overall was fantastic. The fillet was tender and juicy although I ordered it as well done! Well worth the money! I will defiantly be back soon! Next time, I will order Victoria's Filet, with baked potato and mixed vegetables! Cant wait! read more

Two weeks before I ordered a porterhouse steak with loaded mashed potatoes and the special salad. Paid extra for salad and potatoes. First the steak was terrible. Full of fat and gristle. I did not receive the potatoes. We call and spoke with the manager. He said he would make it good. He would be sending me a certificate to replace the meal. He took down my address. Well, he must be walking the certificate here because I have yet to receive something. This is such a shame. We would order there at least once a month. I am handicapped and their pickup procedure is easy on me. Now I will never eat there again and will not hesitate to tell everyone about their lack of keeping their word. I have now received several dollars worth of free meals. They made good on their promise read more

Kitchen brought wrong food. After it was brought to the manager attention, she didn't care and start to denying the problem. After she was proven wrong, she still behaved indifference. Everyone makes mistake but how you deal with mistakes is more important. This restaurant doesn't understand it. read more

I order delivery frequently through DoorDash. I absolutely love the 18oz. Bone in rib-eye with salad and bloomin' onion as the appetizer. I also ordered the lobster tail with salad and fully loaded baked potato with Gold Coast Coconut Shrimp as the appetizer. Everything was perfect. Food was delivered timely and was delicious. This really made my Valentines' Day weekend! read more

My husband and I went to Brandon Outback Saturday night 5pm, sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. It was busy but not crazy. Finally when the Male bartender greeted us he said food is coming out slow just FYI, we said ok no worries drinks will be fine and appetizer. We asked for our drinks and waters. Waters were fast, my drink, straight bourbon took a few minutes, bartender forgot about my husband's drink. Appetizer came out, still no drink. Granted the bar was NOT slammed! I took a minute to look around the restaurant and the floor had managers on it helping the servers I gave the bartender a little more time, finally I said hey, his drink?? Oh!! We asked the bartender for utensils when appetizer came out from a food runner. Bartender had to go looking for some. Our meal took 35 mins to come out. Ok fine we were warned. Happy with our slow drinks and appetizer. While we ate the bartender approached our area of the bar 3X to help other customers and did not refill our waters. Finally he filled waters after I asked. Being in the restaurant industry for 10 years this skill level of service was bad. These 2 bartenders could not multi task for the life of them. Only one thing at a time. There was no fill waters, take a check, and pick up leftover dishes all at the same time. The bar was a mess till the male bartender finally cleared it all. Female bartender was handling drinks orders for servers on the floor. And periodically putting glasses in the glass dishwasher. The male bartender was also doing sidework (cutting lemons,oranges,limes) for the female bartender as he should being helpful BUT you have to have your head on a swivel at the bar!! He could only do one thing at a time. Our food, drinks were good, ambiance good, but these bartenders need to up the their skill level. Outback has a reputable reputation to uphold and this was not a good one. read more

If I could give 10s I would and that's all thanks to our magnificent service that was provided by Brad Kipp! I wish there was a Brad Kipp at every establishment we visit! We were 1 of the last customers that came in last night and Brad made us feel so welcomed, we felt like we were his 1st guests of the day! Brad had a smile that shined through his eyes! He provided great suggestions when we weren't sure what appetizer to get. He suggested the 3 cheese steak dip and boy was it cheesy, creamy and had the perfect amount of chopped up steak bits and it came with perfectly seasoned chips! It was perfect for 2 people to share! I always ask for water with lemon and the majority of the time our waiter forgets the lemon wedge, well not Brad! He understood my love for lemon water and gave extra lemon wedges! We ordered the combo plates - steak/chicken and steak/twisted ribs! Everything was hot, fresh and flavorful! Brad continously checked on us to see if we needed anything and didn't make us feel rushed. Most places at closing time would have thrown the check on the table as your meal came out and say "whenever your ready", to me that just feels like they are ready for you to go! However that was not the case here. Brad made sure to get our loyalty dine in rewards # and check for any rewards that were available to use when it was time to pay. Brad and the manager checked to make sure our steaks were cooked to our request and when mine wasn't, they took it back and fixed the issue promptly and it came back perfect! I know these may seem like small things or things that a server/waiter/waitress/manager should already be doing but lets be real not everyone does it right. Next time you visit this location ask for Brad Kipp! His bubbly energy is infectious that even if your food comes out with a slight mess up you won't even notice or get upset! Thank you Brad for making us feel like we are on the VIP list! read more

Our server Robin and the manager Erica did a great job tonight. One of our two steaks was a bit overcooked and they went out of their way to fix the issue and make us feel like it wasn't a problem at all. Great staff and great management!! read more

Mother's Day placed order around 530 for Mother's Day meal. We were told it would take at least an hour to 90 minutes we had called back again and we were told that by a driver that we're going to get it out to you as soon as possible . This is a big edit later I found out it was DoorDash that pulled out of line. I had come up to the outback on 60 and to find why and talk to a manager and the customer service was outstanding so it was not Outback's fault at all and I do apologize that this posted I thought I edited it. I went back the next day to place an order and everything went smoothly to make up for Mother's Day fiasco. So now My wife loves me again We will from Order for Outback again and door dash is done in our house. read more

My daughter wanted to celebrate her 19th birthday so we called ahead the day before to make reservations and we arrived we had to wait 1 hour to them find out we were waiting on another party that had been there for 3 hours.

I love this outback. Clean, friendly service with a comfortable environment. I like going on dinner dates here.

I only came here for a bloomin onion to go.. what I got was so much more. My girlfriend is pregnant and having all sorts of cravings. This day in particular she wanted cinnabon from the mall, bloomin onion from outback, and a pumpkin pie. I arrived at your location and Jen F the ToGo manager was there. I told her about how I could not find a pumpkin pie anywhere and was going to call while I waited for my bloomin onion. This wonderful woman took the time to try and call a few places for me while I waited in my car. The fact she was willing to go the extra mile for my girlfriend and I astonished me. I ended up finding the pumpkin pie at publix like she had suggested! She deserves recognition for this act and I will always come back to this outback even though I live out in carrolwood. You have gotten a customer for life. read more

Outback is my all time fav place to eat. Not tonight sadly. My steak was not right, dry but it was med/rare, not sure how that happened. No flavor either. My husband got the cob salad and it was very small, not normal, it use to be huge and it was missing half the items. Sweet tea was not sweet. We do not dare complain while in the restaurant for fear of something being done to our food. Very disappointed. Wont go back to that particular one read more

I was there with a group of about 15+ people. We were seated quickly and our wait staff was very attentive. As usual my ribeye was cooked to perfection. I believe everyone was pleased with their meal. I don't know what more could be said about Outback Steakhouse. This location is consistently busy, but the staff never gives you the feeling of being stressed. They work together and make sure everyone is served seamlessly. Large groups don't have to worry about their dining needs being met. read more

I ordered for curbside pick up. The food should be ready by 6:59 pm. The line was wrapped around. Workers asked your name for them to check if order is ready. It's already 8:15 pm and the food is not ready. I'm still waiting. Never again outback. Very slow service. If there's an option for no star I would pick it. read more

On the food side, it was excellent! I had the filet & lobster tail with mixed veggies. The filet was prepared just as I had requested & everything on my plate was hot. Very delicious. The fresh veggies were a bit bulky. I don't want a big stalk of broccoli...but no complaint otherwise. The server we had was slow. Not painfully slow, but just enough to notice. We were kind of off to the side so I couldn't tell if she had too many tables or what was wrong. read more

Wonderful service by Sara H.! She was great as far as her timeliness and how often she checked up on us throughout the meal. The food was cooked to order and even the Manager stopped by to check. A great time had by all, and we look forward to come back. After so many places in the area that cannot cook a steak, it is good to find a place that can do so! read more

Worst steak dinner I think I've had, especially at Outback. Ordered the 15 oz ribeye, medium rare. It came, definitely rare. About a third of it, a good 5 ounces was inedible fat and gristle. There was so much seasoning on it that the taste of the meat was lost. It was tough and chewy. The Cesar salad was not much better. A plate full of white ribs and a 2 inch stalk bottom thrown for good measure. Definately a bad night at outback and it will be a looooong time before we return read more

Amazing place. I've been coming here for most of my life. Never lets me down. Definitely come here if you want good food done well.

Being out of town and tired after a day of shopping, we decided that Outback would fit the bill. First surprise was that the restaurant was part of a strip mall rather than the expected stand alone facility. Second surprise was that parking space was at a premium, no acres of asphalt for parking. We dealt with it. We had a short wait before a table came free. My wife had a glass of overpriced wine and I settled for a glass of iced tea. Dinner for my wife was a bowl of French onion soup and the shrimp and chicken pasta. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The quality of the food was what I would expect from an Outback restaurant. No surprises here. Basic suburban food that is filling. read more

Usually have great things to say about this place. The food is usually great and followed by great service. My last visit though was terrible! My gf and I went in and were seated quickly. Our server Sheila was polite, friendly, and helpful. Things did not stay this good for long. Attempt 1. I ordered a steak medium with grilled shrimp, it came out well done. I was not mad, I alerted Sheila to the issue and she immediately placed a reorder for me. So far so good. Attempt 2. Sheila told us the manager was going to bring out the new one. This is where things start to get bad. He brings it out and does not say anything except " Steak? ". Followed by, " Can you cut into it to make sure it's right?". It's rare. Still not mad. He said he will have them throw it back on . Attempt 3. Sheila comes by a moment later and asks where the steak is, I again alert her to the issue and she goes to check on it. Again not mad. Sheila has been dealing with this as best she can . The manager's behavior makes it clear why she is with the customers and he's in the back . Sheila comes back out and informs us that my steak will be on them because of the issue with the reorder . Well now the manager brings out my steak again. It's the same steak I cut into before . He asks me to cut into it, and it's not evenly cooked . The half I previously cut is medium and the middle/rest is still bleeding and rare. At this point it's late. My gf is finished with her meal and I'm tired of trying. While I still do not feel mad I inform the manager that it will suffice. Then out of no where this guy says," I guess it doesn't matter I'm paying for it anyway.". What hell? You have had 3 tries to cook a steak medium and failed! Now you are going to give me attitude? My gf and I looked at each other, I smiled and told her we're never going back . read more

Reluctantly we come here on a regular basis to this location. Order the exact same outback special 6oz, we both order medium, and always come out rare. Then we order another night medium well to adjust for their not knowing how to cool a steak and it comes out burnt to a crisp. This location needs new management or cooks. I can't believe a place known for steaks can't cook to proper temps. How do screw up a steak it's your job as a cook. read more

Outback Steakhouse - According to a young lady manager both of these cuts are medium? I think some training is in order? - Steakhouses Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Ive never been a fan of Outback, I had a really bad experience the first time I went to one. So I get flashbacks! But anywayssssss !! What I liked the most about the restaurant is that its really clean, and the staff is super friendly :) thats a plus anywhere you go. The food is okay. The portions are good. Pretty normal. The Outback Special meat was delicious. The ribs were good too. They mentioned Aussie fries, but they are just like any other place. The blossomin' onion was a little too spicy and kinda greasy. But whatevs. The only cons I have is that they took forever to remove the dirty plates. And the booths are way too tight. So for bigger people is kind of uncomfortable, ask for a table. They offer different sizes in draft beer so thats good :) but no Blue Moon :( read more

Service was extremely slow, food took over 30 minutes to arrive after we ordered and it was after 8pm when we got there and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Overall the food was decent but service was HORRIBLE. read more

Great food location. I decided to take some food to go when I didn't even eat yet for my mother who wasn't feeling well and the waitress got me her food right after I finished my meal and the take out was nice and warm. Definitely coming back. Only thing that can improve is the booths, they were meant for super tall people and it is uncomfortable if you are under 6 feet. Other than that perfecto! read more
