So, despite the spotty reviews, I decided to come here with family for New Year's Eve dinner since it is (was) one of my mother in laws favorite place to get prime rib. Like another reviewer mentioned, as soon as we walk in, the hostess doesn't even look up from her podium to greet us but is angrily tapping at her iPad. Right away, off to a bad start. Our service was so slow. Took our server about 15 minutes to even get a drink order in. Then she brings the wrong wine. Finally she takes our order. Then, we wait. And wait, and wait, and wait. We waited about 30 minutes before she came back to our table to tell us she forgot to enter our orders in the system- and then proceeded to ask us our orders again. No idea what she did with her original pad of paper. She grabbed one of our COASTERS and started writing our order on it. Food came out 30 minutes after that, and it was wrong. You would think after all these epic failures we would at least get a free dessert- nope! Just our checks. This was probably the most abominable services I ever witnessed. My first and last time I will ever eat here again. Hot mess. TRUST THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

The server was pleasant and professional. The food was not good at all. The blooming onion was all batter sadly, and burnt. Very strange to have one of the signature dishes burnt and have a slight aftertaste. The blooming chicken was dry, and luke warm. The chicken tenders, slightly pink, and unseasoned. However, the aussie fries were delicious. I'm a bit disappointed in my visit, and most likely won't return. read more

We went back last Friday, this time the food was great. The waitress did an excellent job. The blooming onion was great, the salads were right, the steaks were correctly cooked. It was an enjoyable evening of family and food! read more

Call ahead on Friday and Saturday to check the wait. Searing around the bar is first come first serve so go there first and have a look. Ask for the Blo Me Blue(Great Drink) Aussie down under punch is great too read more

Been a long time fan of this location over the years but it sure has gone down hill in recent years. I went last night and they put us on a wait while more than half of the restaurant was empty. After being seated a server finally came by and let us know that they had no bread?!? No bread at Outback......?? Very disappointing. read more

Went to the Outback on East Boulevard in Charlotte on January 7th for a friends Birthday celebration. After several, several previous bad customer service experiences , I was blowing away this night. The acting General Manager Michael and our server Chandra knocked it out the water. Michael decide to make my drink because they were busy- perfect. And our server was so personable, I thought she was part of our birthday celebration. Man they redeemed my faith in this place. Nice read more

Worse place ever been served at... they treat you better at McDonald's... literally had to keep leaving my table to go to bar for soda ketchup basically anything I needed.... so that's how I spent my sons bday while on vacation read more

Let me start off by saying, I've eaten at Outback plenty of times (who hasn't). I had eaten at the East Boulevard location once before, but that wasn't nearly as terrible as today's experience. Suffice it to say, I ordered a medium-well sirloin that mostly came out looking more raw than my friends tuna (see attached pics). This made me very sick for many hours afterwards. The service was equally as bad as the food. Multiple attempts requesting the same items and long wait times whenever we requested something. Won't be re-visiting this location in the future. read more

Terrible service. We called ahead, were told it would be 15 minutes but didn't get seated until 45 minutes after we arrived. The staff was very disorganized and our food took a long time to come out. read more

Came here on a date night! I honestly did not know East Blvd had an Outback, where have I been?! Anyways, we were greeted and sat immediately. The server, I cannot remember his name was nice and polite. We ended up sharing the porterhouse steak - medium rare with two loaded baked potatoes and a side of the mixed vegetables. The steak came out perfectly cooked and was delicious! I have not had their baked potato before but it was definitely delicious and it actually might be my favorite so far! It came loaded with sour cream, cheese, bacon, and a little green onion. The potato was not over cooked, and they baked the potatoes with sea salt (I believe that's what it is) on the outside because it was just fabulous! I have never had it prepared that way before, but it definitely added a little something extra to it. You are probably reading this thinking I'm just being extra, but I LOVE potatoes! Anyways, the vegetables... they were carrots, zucchini, and squash. They were under seasoned and over cooked. They were mushy. Ew. The server did check on us several times and most of the food was yummy! I will be back!! read more

Employees service is just ok. managers seem really good. Glen is great. Employees just need better training. Food is good for the price. I enjoy the house salads with red onions, tomatoes.... Steak sauce should be offered on to go orders. read more

This Outback used to be my goto Steakhouse but the last few years I find myself going less and less. My last trip we had a good server and our food was delicious! My only complaint is that our appetizer arrived after our salads and we really didn't want it at that point. read more

Just got curbside due to current events, and it was just what I needed. Food was delicious. Nice that somethings are consistent.

When I'm feeling light in the wallet region but still want a decent dinner, Outback is where it's at. I can get a 6oz. sirloin, house salad, loaded baked potato, and bread for $10. & if I want, they'll bring it to me in the car when I stop by on my way home from work. Tell me what other restaurant does that. NONE. Long live Outback! read more

This how to be the best Outback ever, way better than the one in Rock Hill,SC. The COVID precautions they have took are excellent and the service was even more excellent. Dondre H who was my server do an outstanding job, definitely a leader when he comes to work. He not only trained someone as he was my sever, but also made sure me and my wife had refills, bread, and anything else. Also, he was super friendly and went above and beyond, couldn't ask for a better server read more

Fast service, very accommodating, great gluten-free experience! Went here for 'date night' and had a great meal. We ordered two appetizers, the blooming onion and the grilled shrimp. They were both as good as described on the menu. For entrees we got a couple of filets cooked medium-rare and they were perfectly seasoned and tender. My meal was prepared gluten-free and to perfection. We'll definitely be going back to the Outback! read more

I don't normally write reviews but our food and service were so wonderful that I couldn't resist. My boyfriend and I went to outback tonight to celebrate his birthday. Our server, Amber was very sweet and attentive. Our drinks were filled at all times and she brought us bread soon after sitting. Our food was delivered promptly and it was mouth watering. We ordered the Bloomin Onion to start and my crisp wedge salad came shortly after. Can't forget about our delicious entrees! I ordered the Victoria's Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and my boyfriend ordered the Center Cut sirloin with a loaded mashed potato and cheesy broccoli. The food was perfectly hot when it came out, obviously just off the grill. I had to stop myself from scarfing it down because it was so good but my boyfriend couldn't help himself. While he snuck away to the bathroom, I asked Amber if they do anything for birthdays. She joyfully said yes and asked if a chocolate desert with ice cream would be okay. So happy she asked because he's not a fan of chocolate so we went with just the ice cream. They came out and sang him their happy birthday song with a cute candle on the ice cream. We don't often go out to eat but we'll absolutely be back to this Outback location and we'll be asking for Amber. Thanks for a great night! read more

Everything was great!! The staff was very friendly and food was amazing. I will definitely will be back very soon

Since we have been in Charlotte we always like outback. This one is our favorite location.

I'm so disappointed that I'm having to write this... Outback has been a favorite forever. But this location is bad, and poorly managed. I've gotten curbside takeaway a couple times now and the food is always cold and tastes old. They give you bread in the to-go bag but don't even attempt to heat it up for you. The ribeye melt is a total waste of money.. it's a tiny little sandwich better served as a snack for a hobbit. And it's $13. There's a million other places I'll be eating from now on. Boooooo! read more

Went there last night with a party of nine. We did a call-ahead and they had the table ready when we arrived. We have eaten there a couple times before and had good meals. Our waitress, Megan, was excellent. She handled our big group as if it was a party of two. The manager came over a couple times too to approve a couple coupons. I had the prime rib which I was reluctant to order but it was cooked perfectly. The cut was large and I took half home. A couple others had the filet mignon which also was very good. Even though it is a chain, Outback puts out a good product and good service at a reasonable price. This location in particular has a good reputation. Will definitely return when I want a piece of meat. read more

We went there last night for a quick dinner, and had some of the best service we've ever received. Our server Phillip anticipated all of our needs before we did, bringing us extra bloom sauce and recommending a blackberry lemonade martini, checked on us often, and was so nice! I'm a server so I tend to be more lenient because I know that sometimes people have other things going on, but I honestly don't think I've ever received this good of service. Normally it's over the top or sub par. New favorite quick dinner spot, and we'll be asking for Phillip next time too! read more

This is probably the worst Outback in the country. Wait staff can't get order right- misses appetizer blooming onion then provides a bogus gift card that manager catches when apologizing for the worst looking over cooked filet ever. Side items don't come with meals. Replacement steak totally well done rather than medium well. Bus staff literally drags trays of dirty dishes on tray stands thru the restaurant. Save your money go anywhere else. read more

Dinner was wonderful, great service. Hostess was very curt. I had the strawberry gingerbeer which was good, my husband had the strawberry margarita which he said needed alcohol. read more

The establishment has a clean presence about it and the hostesses were quick to great us and politely sat us. I wouldn't know about the food because we never received any service. After nearly 15 minutes of wait staff passing by without saying a word, offering drinks or checking to see if anyone had waited on us yet, we left. Will not be returning. read more

Went in for Friday evening dinner with my lady after a long day at work. Although it looked busy when we pulled up and almost every table was filled when we walked in we didn't have to wait long at all to be seated. The customer service was unmatched. Our waitress Najah was extremely nice and helpful when I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. What she recommended was good. And the shrimp scampi appetizer was delicious ! Love it here read more

I am from out of town and I completely understand that places get busy and there may be long waits. However I was sitting at my table for over an hour to receive my food . The manager Jamie came over after my brother brought attention to long wait. She did apologize and take full responsible for the long wait. Our waiter Austin was inconsistent.(almost seem like he was working alone) overall the wait was ridiculous but the food was delicious read more

Amazing food and even better service. My server Julia and the store manager really stood out. I genuinely felt my Buisness was there number one priority! 10/10 read more

Always have a great experience when dining here. Gregory did a fantastic job serving us , he's very attentive and friendly. The no rules Parmesan pasta is my favorite! We will be back!!! Mwahaha read more

Love Outback, but to-go order was a train wreck. Filet was ordered rare was delivered completely done. They called and let me know they were out of green beans, I opted for broccoli but was surprised to find a head of broccoli cut in half (stalk and all) when I opened it up when I got home. Won't be ordering to-go here again! read more

Amazing staff, prompt service and great food. All of the staff is incredibly nice here and gives unbridled service to all gusts

We will not return. We arrived 20 minutes after opening at lunch and front floors were dirty. We waited 30 minutes on our food and it was cold. There were only 6 other guests in the restaurant. Restrooms were dirty and no tissue paper. :( read more

Outbacks are my standard fare when I travel. If i'm alone, and my colleagues aren't there to guide me towards the best Chilean seafood place or Thai wonderment, I go for tried, true, and meaty. Outback is just that. It would be hard for me to give an outback less than 4 stars. Others I know think that's insanely high for a consistently good steak place. I don't agree. I'd rate it lower if the service at that location sucked and I'd rate it higher if something insane happened. Neither were the case tonight. Outback at this location was great. Service was great. Food was great. 'Nuf said. read more

We stopped going to Outback years ago because of the consistent poor quality and service. However, we received gift cards this year, so we went back again. I must say, this Christmas Eve dinner at Outback was one of the best family holiday dining experiences we've ever had! Naively, we didn't call ahead to make them aware we had a party of 9 arriving, which could have been a headache for them and us. But they managed to get us all squeezed together, VERY quickly and extremely cheerfully. The service was outstanding and all of our steaks were cooked perfectly. Chris, the owner, and our server (Jay? The one with all the customer service award buttons!) did everything they could to make our visit there pleasant, comfortable and lively. They succeeded and then some. read more

Typical Outback experience. Service was fine, although the host that seated us mumbled so we couldn't understand a thing he said. Menus were a tad chewed up, kind of third tier for a fairly expensive place. Salad was obviously someone else's custom order. No dressing and no crutons. Bread was delicious as were the steaks. I must say that a 6 Oz steak is friggin tiny though. I felt like a model on a diet eating that thing. Lobster tail was 2 minutes past done which I expected. Cheesecake was to be expected, dense and commercially prepared. Atmosphere is nice, low lighting and loads of wood. It's weird, reminds me of a dark Ale house. We left stuffed, 2 people for under 100 dollars. Certainly not horrible and fairly consistent if you keep your expectations reasonable. read more

I like Outback and this one is close to me. Last time I was here, I found a shard of very sharp plastic or glass in my parfait cup. The manger was VERY concerned and very nice about the situation. She took care of it, and took care of my next visit. Usually the steak and service is very good. I will go back. read more

I went out to Outback for a light snack. I was seated promptly without any delays. My server was very attentive and helpful with the menu. I ordered the side salad along with the soup for the day. The salad was fresh and crisp and I promise they have the best garlic croutons. The soup was better than I expected it was a creamy onion and cheese soup. And of course they brought out their famous bread and butter! read more

We've been here a couple times now. The food and service are both consistently good. It's our go-to outback location. Have not tried other locations yet, so not sure how it compares to other location. read more

We were doing an early afternoon hang and stopped in. We ordered the blooming onion and the tidbits. The onion was as always wonderful my not so good value of the day was the tidbits which was advertised as lobster and shrimp appetizer for $10 and consisted of 7 shrimp and barely 4 pieces of lobster and I say barely because they could barely be seen. Service was as usual excellent. read more
