Food and service was great. Very disappointed in the cheesecake size! It is a quarter of a piece of what I would cut for the price! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Despite all the negative things we saw on the Facebook site for this restaurant, we still decided to give it a chance. After all, we have always enjoyed the cheese fries and the Caesar salad dressing was always tasty. Well that was about the best part of our meal. My wife and I both ordered the Outback sirloin special thing they sell. We both ordered our steaks medium rare. My steak came out rare, but her steak was alright. I sent mine back and 10 minutes later, this manager person comes out with a steak that is medium well, and almost well done. I took it and after using brute force to cut it, I took one bite, spit it in my napkin and returned the entire meal to him. He offered to make me something else, but I decided to cut my losses and said 'no thank you'. I then sat and watched my wife saw through her steak in an attempt to eat it. Now I know a sirloin is not a filet, but these steaks were simply inedible. She said the only good thing on her plate was the broccoli. The cheese fries were good and the salad was good. Service was good. Everything else - meaning the main reason we came - STEAK - was terrible. This is not the first time we have been hosed by this restaurant, but it will be the last. If your main food - STEAK, and one you tout as your 'special' is inedible, then why are we wasting our time and money? Again, 100% understand that this was not a filet mignon, but come on. We complained to corporate - not expecting a reply. If they send us a certificate to try them again, we will, but if we have to spend our money, we'll opt for the Big Boy restaurant up the block. read more

Was not too busy when we came around 5:30 got seated pretty quickly. Our server was very nice and he often came to check on us. Food was pretty good and came out fast. Some of our steaks weren't cooked to how we wanted them but the still tasted good. The coconut shrimp wasn't that good. read more

You'll get good food here. Not great. But good. Nothing is exceptional, but for the most part it is tasty, consistent, and the service is decent. Last night, we enjoyed Outback on the dime of my dad, who sent us the gift card for Christmas. I had a margarita on the rocks and hubby had a glass of Shiraz. Margarita was okay. Not great. Wouldn't get it again on another visit. We started dinner with a flatbread appetizer. It had chicken and artichokes on it. Very good. Hadn't had it before. Think it's new. Usually we have the kids along and they like the Bloomin' Onion. You've had it before. It's fine. I'm just kinda tired of it. So, we tried the flatbread and are glad we did. Martin had sliced filet, medium rare, with shrimp and garlic potatoes. He ate it up...loved it. I think he had a vegetable, too, but don't remember what...cuz he didn't have a salad. I had the petite Outback steak (six ounces), a dressed potato, and a tossed salad with blue cheese dressing. I guess there is something that is exceptional: their salads always taste very very fresh. I really like their basic side salad with tomato, onion, and croutons. The croutons are always crispy and never stale. The greens are alwasy green, never wilty, and the tomato and onion seem like they were just cut. Last night was no exception. And their blue cheese dressing is very tasty, as well. In the past, I've also had their chopped salad and their Caesar, which were both good, but the side salad is my favorite. This time, my steak was over-cooked. Not terribly, but it wasn't medium rare. I brought it to the attention of our waiter, but didn't want another one because I was already a little full....the salad, potato and part of the appetizer were plenty. The manager came by and offered us dessert to make up for it (and took the steak off the bill). I protested, because we really were full, so he suggested that we take something to go. I declined, but my husband had them pack up a piece of carrot cake....if you've read my reviews before, you know that is his favorite dessert. So, overall, it was fine. They would have happily made me a new steak. Things happen. But they took care of the problem, and that is the MOST important thing. We'll go back, for sure. Oh, and when Martin wasn't looking, I ate his carrot cake. It was really, really good. read more

Our server was nice and helpful. This location feels more upscale then other locations. This is based on the quality of service, style and decor, and food presentation. I got the sirloin and lobster with their season veggies. Everything was at the proper temperature on a clean (no splatters) plate. This was the first time I tried their wood grilled preparation. It added great flavor. My lobster was what I would get from a great seafood restaurant, sweet and fresh. My steak was tender and a perfect medium. They trimmed it just right because there was no tough parts or gristly bites. I am happy and will go back again. read more

Outback Steakhouse - I love their bread - Steakhouses Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I think this an underrated steak house. I had the sirloin steak and 1/2 slab ribs special. Appetizers were excellent and I recommend giving them a try: we tried coconut shrimp and the chicken artichoke flatbread. The wedge salad is always delicious. Steaks are usually pretty good. The ribs were slightly burned on the tips but they were tender and flavorful. Our steaks were slightly under cooked but not so much to send them back. read more

Honestly so disappointed with how my night went. We went for my birthday dinner and my cousin asked the waiter 5 times to refill her coke and she didn't. We also informed her that it was my sister and I's birthday as we are twins and she didn't do anything. They're supposed to sing a song for you. We told her a second time as checks were coming around and she brought out a brownie. No song and the brownie itself was mediocre. So displeased with the evening. read more

Our waiter was Jeremy and he was awesome! Very attentive and professional. We were seated outside of the kitchen and the staff was so loud, we couldnt hear the music that was playing. There has to be a way to control this so patrons can enjoy their meal read more

Great restaurant. Friendly, helpful and hardworking staff. My servers name was Luke. He did a great job with everything from talking to us, checking on us, and getting our food and drinks in a timely manner. read more

Just left there . Went in before 8 and was instantly seated. We didn't get any rolls Bc they weren't ready so the lady said our waiter would bring them. We sat at our table for 7 mins before Colton came to our table to take our drink order and with NO ROLLS. He comes to deliver our drinks still roll less and takes our order ( apps & two entrees) then we don't see him again. Time is passing and more ppl are being seating now with rolls! Our apps come out and still NO ROLLS! Colton sees our table and does NOTHING . We didn't get rolls until someone who came after us in that section asked for a refill of their rolls! I was disgusted with his service and lack of care. When the food came I asked for the checks upfront Bc who knew when Colton would be back to check on us. The food was amazing but the service sucks! read more

By far the worst food and service I've ever had at a restaurant. My salmon was raw and my husbands steak was way undercooked.

Kabooom!!! Good experience as usual at this Outback!! Service was above standards and "BAM"! The steak I had was Tops & My wife had a smile after our stop,which means SUBURB time!! Folks GOTTA GETCHA SUM!! read more

Manager and wait staff were very unprofessional on our visit last night, we called 1 1/2 hours ahead of time to reserve seating, we arrived at 5:25 the manager advised it would only be a few minutes, after 40 min of waiting and watching him seat SEVERAL other customers ahead of us, my husband asked a waiter (who was now seating people) what the issue was, he was rude, began rolling his eyes as he headed for the manager, the manager then approached with the same unprofessional attitude and literally told us we can leave as he waved his hand toward the door, he refused to give me his name and said he don't have to!! I will not stop until something is done about the way we were treated!! Unacceptable and very unprofessional children running this establishment!! I've already been in contact with corporate and waiting for a reply from them!! read more

Had an online order for Mother's Day. These idiots couldn't even answer their phone. Totally overwhelmed and nothing was ready or even able to be located. After standing with a dozen uber eats dudes with the same issue I decided to leave. Here's a business that the covid May justifiably close. read more

consumer beware: by far the worst and most horrible restaurant experience ever!!!! first of all what kind of steakhouse doesn't have steak sauce available at the table for it's patrons??? at this particular restaurant you have to ask for steak sauce, it wasn't even offered to us. and by the time the waitress came back around so we could ask her for some, half of our party was already done with their steaks!!! second of all the coconut shrimp did not even taste right, the outside was over cooked and the shrimp was not cooked!! third of all the manager is just standing in the back holding up all the employees as he's casually conversating with them and doesn't even bother to make sure everything is going smoothly with the customers and operation of the restaurant!!! utterly unacceptable and disappointing.... good bye outback steakhouse, you are soon to be a thing of the past, as inevitably you will feel the wrath of your customers, just like sears and toys r' us!! read more

Another fantastic visit at this outback. Our waitress Catlyn was very friendly and on top of things. All the food came out as requested and was delicious. read more

We recently moved and well this outback was near us we were no strangers to outback but this one was really, service is good wait isn't to long. But one thing is that they ask for you for to many refills which is ok but can get a little annoying. But overall this is a great place for a reasonably priced meal. read more

Good food, Great Staff and a good selection for kids with ok prices for the young ones. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I should give this restaurant 0 stars because we didn't even get waited on ! We were seated as soon as we got inside but sat at the table for at least 15 minutes with menus while several waitresses passed by us and never stopped to wait on us We finally got tired of waiting so we got up and left I don't think a customer should have to ask for someone to wait on them! When we were getting up to leave a waitress went up to a table that had just been seated to wait on them We've had problems with bad service here in the past they need to teach their help about customer service read more

My husband and I went for our anniversary. The service was exceptional and food was more than satisfying. I absolutely LOVE their chicken wings! I'm not crazy about the bread, but that's okay because I don't like dark breads. My husband however loves it. We had a couple of different appetizers (Bloomin' Onion, Cheese Fries and something else neither of us can remember) and our meal. By the time our food arrived, we were stuffed! So we kind of, sort of, ate at our meal. Then came the dessert! Oh em gee! Very yummy, The Chocolate Thunder From Down Under!!! Very delicious! I highly recommend this particular location because of the staff (Justin was our waiter), who were just as nice as can be and kept our drink glasses full. read more

I have never had anything I didn't enjoy here. The service can sometimes be lacking but they are always friendly.

We order take-out from this location about 7-8 times a year. Over the past 2 years, the side portions have grown smaller and smaller, and the steaks (the fliets at least) have become more inconsistent. We used to get a full tub of broccoli, now it's literally three medium-sized stalks. My mashed potato tub was less than 1/3 full this evening, and hasn't been more than half full in a year. Tonight, I ordered the 9 ounch filet ($24.49), and my wife the 6 ounce ($20.49). After cutting away the fat from my steak, we weighed it on our kitchen scale. Take a guess what it weighed... Yes, I paid $4.00 for a hunk of fat larger than one of my broccoli stalks. If they're trying to reduce expenses, I get that. As everyone knows, vegetables cost very little. Skimping on broccoli might save them a dime per meal, but it's costing them at least one family of customers. read more

Most disgusting restroom I've ever seen. Lost my appetite and did not finish eating I just left

Service was great, kitchen wasn't. Manager tried to explain away their problems instead of dealing with it. We told her we didn't want any special treatment, just wanted her to understand the problem (the filet was cut in half and then flipped over and definitely not medium rare - medium, maybe). Not worth $20... Fiancé got the shrimp added on and one of his was one fourth the size of the others. Kitchen is bad at this location. Still like the brand. read more

This place is bad we was there the other night not busy we waited an hour for our food forgot mine the waitress was in tears I will never go back read more

Horrible service from my waitress (mariann). She seemed more worried about her other 2 tables. 8 minutes for a drink refill. No bread brought until we asked. Requested steak sauce had to ask someone else. Would not take dirty dishes. Steak was tasteless. I won't be back! I was given a pencil to sign my credit card slip. I borrowed a pen from a different server and he asked what was up. I will say that as I was leaving the manager stopped me asked me to please come again and make it right. Shawn gave me a gift card for my next visit. read more

This place has good service and good food. I must say the prices are a tad bit too much for the portion they give you. Why don't they do specials like Texas Roadhouse? Texas Roadhouse must be putting Outback out of business across the street because Texas Roadhouse has dinner specials! I go with my husband and I like the specials with 2 people. I had the parmesan pasta and the portion was so small!! I was expecting a huge bowl! It taste very good though. read more

Lunch on Saturday with the wife. Service - slow and the didn't return to refresh our drinks. Atmosphere - the music was an loud and annoying, definitely not music to eat by. Food - so so at best. Expensive for the quality. Overall - Outback has sure fallen in the areas above. Will definitely not be back. read more

This place was great! On business travel, I usually do not dine at "chains". I try local eateries. This Outback Steakhouse was specifically recommended by a local colleague AND hotel concierge, and a great referral! Food (surf and turf w/ veggies) was great, really good portions and reasonably priced. Overall environment was calm and restful. Wait staff was welcoming door to door; my waiter (Josh if I recall correctly) was on-point. Checked on my spouse and me just enough to be helpful not overbearing. The manager (Doug E) was likewise welcoming and genuinely cared that we had a great dining experience. We did. Absolutely, and we WILL return soon ! Guys, gals, well done! read more

For a big old chain, this Outback feels almost more like a "hometown" kind of place because the staff goes out of their way to be friendly and recognize my brother and mom when they stop in - and they really aren't there all that often. The food is neither great nor terrible. It's consistently pretty good though. Sometimes a little too salty, but that's almost everywhere that isn't my own kitchen because I use way less salt than the rest of the known world apparently. I'm not gonna go out of my way to go there, but if I'm in that neck of the woods for some other reason or my mom and brother are craving that ahi tuna, I'll be back, I'm sure. read more

After a long week, my husband and I decided to go out to Outback (Hilliard). It was 7ish and they were busy but we got seated right away by nice young man. Our server (Camille) came over immediately, greeted us and took our drink order and appetizer. She was very pleasant, efficient and knowledgeable. We ordered the Queso (which was really good and had lots of meat in it). We also ordered the Wednesdays special: my husband ordered the sirloin which he said was cooked perfectly medium and I ordered chicken which was good and juicy. The portion sizes were good too. Everything came out in a timely manner and piping hot. A great dining experience! read more

Don't plan on taking your lunch break here unless you have plenty of time to wait. Not busy and still waited over twenty minutes for six pieces of shrimp. Server was friendly, but the kitchen staff must be extremely short staffed here. Ridiculous. read more

Lied about their wait time to us 3 times. Their system of having reservations is so screwed up and poorly run. Not worth the wait for basic food read more

We just ordered some food for the family here and it was ok.I got a New York Strip medium rare with bacon cheese fries.The steak was more medium than med-rare,but it was still very good.The fries were all stuck together with the cheese at the bottom.The steak was good,fries not,service was prompt less than an hour before pickup... read more

Had a nice dinner here yesterday. I had hesitation because the one on Bethel road is so bad however this location is great. The food came out perfectly prepared, restaurant is kept very clean and the staff could not have been nicer. I will return but only to this location (Rome Hilliard Road). Thanks! read more

Dinner was excellent again! This is always our go to for a good dinner! But let's face it. I am a sucker for the wedge salad. I've tried them at other places. But the one here always is the best! Thanks again for a great experience! Joel and Lee are the best!! read more

The food was not good even the mac and cheese was bland. I did not enjoy my meal at all. I will say the service was great and our waiter was very attentive. read more

We moved here about a year ago and had never bothered trying Outback since it wasn't anything new or exciting, but we received a gift card and gave it a shot this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised with the changes the chain has made overall. Our food was prepared well, had a much more upscale presentation than I remembered and overall it was enjoyable for a chain. read more

This was overall a bad experience. The people who open the door and seat you did a very good job. That was the lone positive of the evening. After we were sat we waited for over ten minutes before our server showed up to even talk out drink order. Now let me be clear it was a Friday night and we walked in and sat down without a wait. It was not that busy. A couple that sat down after us and had a different server had their drinks and appetizer before our drinks arrived. Our food took so long to come out we had to ask about it. And all of our drinks were in dire need of attention. Attention we had not received from our server and had to flag down another server and ask for their help. When our food finally came, all three steaks at our table were over cooked. I had a fillet, when my steak came back, while it was cook to the requested temperature, the manager brought me a sirloin. I mentioned it to the manager who said "It's a fillet" and walked off. It was clearly a sirloin, and now I am eating when everyone else is done eating as my friends did not send their steaks back, they just ate them since they were so hungry. We then sat for over 15 minutes after I was finished to see our server and ask her for the check. The check, I expected would have an adjustment. The entire evening had been a screw up and our steaks were all messed up. Not even an apology. Not a coupon for an app. Nothing. It was like I went to amateur night at a yokel restaurant instead of a well run restaurant. I don't visit Outbacks that often anymore as they have so much competition. Now I'll be visiting less often. read more

This was probably the worst experience I have had at outback. We ordered ribeye and sirloin both steaks were prepared wrong. Our vegetables were not warm enough to melt the butter. The potatoes in the potato soup were still frozen. The server was so friendly and tried to make everything better!! read more
