I went to Outback Steakhouse for my 45 minute lunch break today expecting a nice dining experience. I ordered an Outback Burger with fries and they brought it out with 25 minutes of my lunch break left to spare. It had bacon on there, which I cannot eat. I asked for another to be made quickly and another twelve minutes went by with still no food being brought out leaving me only 13 minutes left before I was due to start work again. The waitress came back and I said I couldn't stay as I had to go back to work and she just let me walk out saying sorry yet didn't call her manager to speak to me. Thanks for ruining my lunch break, Outback Steakhouse. read more

Horrible. Never ate just left because we were told 45 minutes and waited hour and half then kept telling us 15 minutes. 15 minutes.... Horrible hosting. Don't go here. It's literally a waste of time.. read more

Food was alright...someone was a little to heavy on the salt. Saw the bartenders taking shots while on the clock. Staff seems unprofessional and not attentive to their tables they'd rather be chatting with each other in the back. If you are expecting good service while you go out to eat here isn't it! read more

Having just left Outback, I had to write a review of my food. My date had a steak and sweet potato which were fine, but I ordered a Sesame Salad without any meat or fish. What I got was a plate full of iceberg lettuce with a few slices of red pepper and some overly sweet dressing. I would never expect a place like Outback to serve such a poor excuse for a salad. The waitress did not ask why I ate so little when she came to check on our empty drinks at the end of the meal. No manager ever came to our table to see how our experience had been. We haven't been to this restaurant for awhile and we will not be back! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Poor excuse for a salad! - Steakhouses Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I'm not typically an Outback person. I don't think I have been to one in over ten years. However, my husband was in the mood for steak and this seemed like a good option. The server was attentive and nice, the food was good. Was it amazing? No, but I was not really expecting to be amazed. It was good food, period. read more

We ordered the 30 wing special for the SB and they were really good! They included several loaves of bread, silverware, butter and a big side of ranch too as requested! Thanks! read more

I ordered my meal for delivery. It was quick and complete. My steak was perfect. I ordered desert with ice cream and the ice cream was still frozen. Everything packed and secured nicely. read more

We were visiting UVA and stopped by before 5 for an early dinner. The hostesses were both very young and not especially friendly with their greetings. One of the hostesses asked if we were like the bar area. We asked to be seated at a table. And we seated right away . We have our kids with us, I am not sure why she would ask that we sit at the bar area when they were tables available. In fact, the restaurant was about 70% full at the time. Many tables were occupied. Our server was friendly but seems flustered and in a hurry the whole time we were there. It was hard to find him most of the time. When we can find him, he did get everything we asked for. Bread: The first loaf was hot and delicious. We finished the loaf within seconds. The second loaf was cold and dry. In the other Outback Restaurants we have been to, they would bring out a loaf a bread while we were looking at the menu or as soon as we order. We didn't get our bread for quite a while. I was starting to wonder if this particular Outback does not serve bread. Clam chowder: it was thick and cream and very hot. But the top of the soup looked dry, like it was sitting under the heating lamp for a long time. And it didn't come with any crackers. Fried mushroom: this was delicious, the mushrooms were small, perfect size for deep frying Wings: standard Outback wings, a little on the dry side Blooming Onion: It came out undercooked and completely raw at the "center" of the bloom. Our waiter was apologetic and did not have problem making a new one, but he said that was how it was done. hmm..... Burger/Ribs: both entrees were OK. The fries and mashed potato that came with the entrees were more memorable. Alfredo: basically a plate of very oily pasta with no seasoning. They need to really work on their Alfredo sauce. The food at Outback is always too salty for our liking, so we adjust to it while we eat there. It was shocking to find a plate of pasta completely flavorless, but super greasy. read more

Outback experiences have been hit or miss for me lately (due to the cut of meat I've received). This past experience was a hit as we enjoyed a four course dinner (clam chowder, house salad, 6 oz. Sirloin with baked potato, and caramel cheesecake). The sirloin was good; it was lean, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. We sat at the bar as the service is consistently good. Hopefully, the same consistency will come back to the chain as a whole. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this Outback. A friend of mine had a special request. The Manager seated us and listened to her request and he delivered. Our food was great as well as the service. It has been a long time since I have had this good of an experience at any restaurant. read more

Generally, we like Outbacks. We like their well seasoned food, cold beer and general friendly ambience. We drive by periodically and hadn't stopped in the "new" Outback since remodeling/moving over a year ago. The layout is very different and the bar less inviting, but we didn't have to wait long before our table was ready. Went around the corner to the dining room to the bright room, hard top tables and the din of everyone and kids running around, made it look like an upscale school cafeteria. Our server was friendly, when we could find her. Ate our filet and roast beef with our favorite blue cheese chopped salad. Tried to get check, finally paid and departed. Not sure we will return to this location. read more

With less than 6 cars in the parking lot today, we could not understand why the service was so slow. We had a table of six guest, two of us received our dinner without the sides (had to wait additional 10 mins. while chicken on our plates became cold). It's not cheap for a group of six to dine ($150), so it would be nice to receive all the food you order at once. read more

Traveling to Charlottesville to visit family. We decided to go to Outback, a place we usually like. I am so glad we did our meal was great and the entire experience was fun thanks to our server Tamara. After all day on a plane we were starving! The service was fast and the food tasted wonderful. I'm a big fan of the deep fried onion and my husband loves the steak and both were perfect. Drink refills as needed. Would definitely come here again next time we are in town. read more

Thank you Owin for the spectacular service yesterday. My prime rib was very good. I ate my salad today for breakfast and it was still fresh. If I am ever in the area again, I will make sure to come back! read more

Went to Outback, since I've heard good things. Our server was good until a certain point. He seemed over whelmed, and kept coming back to our table to ask us again what we had ordered. Once we got our order he food was room temperature or cold. The Mac and cheese was so dry. My brother both got mashed potatoes and the cheese didn't even melt, that's how cold it was. One of my brothers ordered his steak well done and once he got it there was blood still coming out. I understand this wasn't the servers fault, but come on in the kitchen. I also, saw the manager talk to two other tables. Once I saw that I knew there was a problem. Also we waiting more than 30 mins for our food. Burgers were so dry, diced onions (which I've never seen before). No mayo... no flavor. Idk, I was very disappointed. I will not be back read more

The grilled salmon was soo delicious here, I visited the restaurant two times this week! Additionally, 'The Wallaby Darned' drink was also amazing (a fluffy/whipped texture and peachy/mango flavor)! read more

We were sat fairly fast, but we waited for our server to come to the table to greet us for ten minutes, then waited another ten minutes to get our drinks. We ordered an appetizer which also took forever to come out- the appetizer was lukewarm and the sauces that came with it had a film over it, like it had been sitting a while. Our meals were great, but our service was awful. read more

Horrible food, worst experience ever. Had my family with me and we went someplace else. Wrecked our holiday. The manager she smelled like booze, the people were not friendly, a catastrophic mess. Burger King would of treated us better. One expects some wait but not horrific service and shameful behavior. We as a family will never return and I will make sure my staff which is huge around the Continent do not frequent this place again. There are plenty of quality places with class. read more

Ok wait service. Played a lot of new ethnic music-not a fan. Both steaks had a lot of sinew. Broccoli was tasteless and probably not fresh. read more

Great Restaurant: lobsters grilled with vegetables. Deliciously cooked and served with great courtesy. Great selection of beers. I'm going for 5 stars I cannot find any imperfection. read more

Came all the way from Seattle, WA. and just had the BEST time with the SWEETEST server ever named Sara M!!! She was literally a godsend. She gave us tips on what to try and also other really fun things to do in the area. She really should be in fine dining but I'm happy she was here for us today! Keep it up beautiful!! You're fantastic. read more

Food is always good and the service is spot on! The steak is always cooked just right. The manager Jeff Harmon is always nice, smiling, and working right along side his team. I also had the kiwi margarita which was delicious! read more

Food was good, but I will NEVER eat here again. I walked out wearing my soda. My husband and I were left setting in a puddle of soda that a waitress dumped in my lap. We were never never asked if we would like to move to a different table. I was not given another drink, mean while my plate had soda in it. I'm really upset about the treatment we received. Never again!!!!! read more

This place should not be an outback. The food quality I would rank this as the worst outback that I have ever been to and this isn't the first time I've come here. I just currently just finished eating. I ordered the seared peppered ahi for an app and that came out good. But after that its not even with eating a steak at this place. I ordered the Victoria's filet medium with baked potatoes and Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese came out room temperature, the steak was over cooked, and the baked potatoe was the only thing that was hot on my plate. Sitting at the bar on a Friday night at 815 when I ordered and checking out by 857 this is sad. I was never asked once on how my food was. The 2 bartenders are too busy chatting with people and not paying attention to the other patrons. I have to get their attention just to get my check or order something else. It makes me feel that I was an inconvenience for showing for coming in and sitting at the bar. read more

I ordered the rib eye steaks for delivery and was delightfully surprised the steaks were cooked to perfection, tasted amazing and arrived hot! The side dishes were also terrific and the desserts were simply perfect! read more

Love the food and the steakhouse salad is excellent. Unfortunately, during our last several visits the air conditioning was beyond freezing. Despite putting on sweaters and requests to management to turn it down, it was so cold we had to rush through our dinner and not order appetizers or dessert- just to get out of there. It ruins what should be an enjoyable experience. We have not had this experience with any other restaurants in Charlottesville. It's a shame. read more

Best neighborhood steakhouse hands down! I only popped in for an appetizer and a drink and I still received exceptional service. Great staff, always friendly and willing to ask how your day is going! Great place to unwind. You know I'll be back! read more

I went here with my boyfriend less than a week ago- I normally don't write reviews for very many places, as I don't have the time. But our server, Tamara, was very helpful and gave such a pleasant experience that I couldn't resist! I have a gluten allergy, so it's difficult for me to find places that know their menu well enough to suggest something I enjoy. She automatically knew that the salmon and mixed vegetables would be a good choice for me- and she was right! The food was delicious and she made sure we were satisfied through the entire meal. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! read more

This is a great steakhouse! The staff was really nice and had great recommendations. The wine selection was awesome! Super clean and even though it was crowded, the service was fast and the food was delicious! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go here for dinner last night after leaving another restaurant for terrible service. By the time we got here we were starving and frustrated. They really turned our night around! Our server Alex was amazing. Probably one of the best servers I have ever had. He was very personable and attentive. I felt bad because we asked a thousand questions about the menu, but he was very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am on a very strict diet so I requested a nutrition guide. Unfortunately, they didn't have one - even though I know it is required in a restaurant - but it wasn't his fault. Because of this, he helped me pick my food items and provided alternative ways for me to find the information I needed. Also because of my diet, he double checked if we wanted bread at the table which I thought was really awesome. The food was incredible as well. After a terrible experience only a few minutes before, we were so relieved and happy. Very impressed! read more

I came here with my wife the day after Valentines Day. First, I'd like to say the service was great. The bread and the sides were incredible. However, the steak, which is why we went, was not. My wife's filet was cooked to her liking, she enjoyed it but said she would enjoy it better if it didn't taste bland. I ordered my ribeye medium rare, if I was lucky the steak was medium well in the middle with absolutely NO color on the sides. I am by no means a snob but when you eat at a place like this you expect to get what you pay for. When it came to the steak I was really disappointed. The only reason I didn't say anything was because I didn't want to spoil the evening or interrupt our Valentines Day dinner. Unfortunately, we won't be going back to Prime 109. read more

One of the worst restaurants in Charlottesville. Except for the fact that our server was great, it didn't even deserve one star. What happened to the Outback of yesteryear, when you could order food that actually resembled the photos on the menu? The grilled shrimp was small and tired tasting. The $32.00 filet was a tiny and thin slice of meat that was a couple of ounces (if that!). What a debacle! Terrible experience overall. read more

My fiance and I went in to this Outback location after having good experiences at other Outbacks. The Hostess greeted us and we chose to sit in the bar area at a booth. We waited about 15 minutes at a table with 5 servers in plain view just talking to each other next to the bar. We were about 20 feet away and clearly had no menus, utensils, drinks, etc. In that 15 minutes no one as much as said, "we will be with you shortly." So we decided to get up an leave. I wish there was a 0 star option. I hate going to a place where I feel like I am inconviencing the wait staff. Won't return to the Cville Outback, that is for sure! read more

This is the worst outback in the dmv. Been twice walked out once stayed tonight. Shoulda walked. Food sucked service sucked bill was wrong. Told them my bill was wrong and they were like um ok... No problem dear just coming outta your tip... Never again. read more

Tamara was a huge hit! She knew everything we had questions about and was able to point us in the right direction as far as beer pairings. Her recommendation for the volcano shrimp was spot on. She also convinced us to order a drink down under because of the affordability of the extra shot and it was yummy. She really made sure we had a good time and as a server and bartender myself I appreciate awesome service like she provided us. I'll be back, and I'll get the drink down under again. read more

This was my first visit to Outback Steakhouse in Charlottesville in many years. It was a delightful dining experience for myself and my family members. The food was delicious. I had the ribeye steak and it was cooked just right. The salad was fresh and very tasty. My daughter and son-in-law also were very pleased with the quality and quantity of food. Our server, Sara M., was very attentive, cheerful and knowledgeable of the menu items. I'll definitely be returning to Outback in the near future. read more

Excellent food and service. The food was really good! Great drinks too. Staff goes out of its way to make you feel welcome and takes great care of you. A Charlottesville shining star!! read more

I hate to leave negative reviews, I really do, but this one is warranted. Our party of three had lunch there on Valentine's Day. We expected a wait, so no surprise there. Here's our experience: Wait to be seated - 20 minutes Server came right away to get drink order - husband and I got ours right away. Our daughter waited 35 minutes for pink lemonade. My tea was served in a glass with a dirty, greasy film inside - I didn't realize that until AFTER I had finished my glass of tea...disgusting! Salad arrived 40 minutes after we ordered. Entrees came out 50 minutes after we ordered. Husband's ribeye and daughter's chicken fingers were fine. My shrimp was the wrong one and my steak was micro-sized, definitely not 6 ounces. We got the attention of the manager who quickly took my plate away and came back with the correct shrimp and another micro-sized steak which was extremely RARE! I had ordered mine medium, but after 2 failed attempts and my daughter and husband already finishing their meal I just wanted to leave!! We paid the bill and left. The most disappointing meal I've had in a long, LONG time. Charlottesville has many fantastic casual dining restaurants, just choose another one and save yourself the disappointment.....and $68! read more
