Excellent meal, great friendly service. We had the blooming petals and black berry martinis. Filet migon was cooked to perfection. Salads and potatoes were yum. Very good meal, we will be back. Our waiter, Christian, was very polite, checked on us, but not imposing. Very good waiter. Check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered 3 Victoria's Filets 9oz. Each were supposed to be cooked different ways. All three were dried out and definitely did not have the flavor and tenderness that a top tier steak should. I am not overly picky, but not close to what I hoping for. Note that this was for a carryout order. Staff was polite and on time delivering to the car. read more

Good food good service, one of the best pieces of grilled chicken never fails, tender and juicy. Prime Rib is great seasoned and seared. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

See all

The only reason I gave it one star is because the server was great. The front door staff kept telling us to move at the waiting area. The manager actually showed up to our table to ask us if we had a problem! DONT EVER GO TO THIS LOCATION ..EVER EVER read more

My Pinnapple Ginger Collision was made with WAY TOO much ginger. I like ginger, but that was not enjoyable. The Volcano shrimp appetizer has a thick breading that is almost sweet. We would not order that again. read more

This dining experience was not anything to write home about because the steak dining experience is becoming more and more common for the American consumer. The restaurant was clean, the service was wonderful, and the food was as expected. Our server's name was Adam and he was attentive and conversational. Overall a solid dinner all around. read more

I love the soup and salad combo. The Cesar salad comes in an ice cold bowl and the French onion soup is the best I've had ( and I only eat Poor Richards French onion soup ). The grilled chicken is as also amazing. read more

Always a great experience! The sashimi is delicious. Had the steak tacos, baked potato, and sirloin steak, asparagus. Steak cooked just right. Kaz was a great! read more

Always a great Chain to locate and go for a good meal, it was bartender training Day I was there. Hope the man makes I've never seen a harder working person.. The training here seems to be very difficult with a lot of attention to detail from the temperatures of the coolers to all the drinks that need to be made. The salad that I had was great steak on the salad was cooked perfectly and very tasty. read more

We order takeout regularly! Love the food and online ordering. The dine in rewards are always great. Most of the time we pick up our food curbside within 5 mins of arrival. read more

While outback is usually up to par, the outback in Gainesville GA seems to lack luster. I had been to this location a couple times before and every time it seems to get worse. The fried appetizers are so heavy and greasy, like the oil in the fryer needs to be changed but hasn't. The server staff seems to lack a sense of urgency. An example of that would be that there were only six tables in the restaurant and more than three servers and we waited about 25 minutes for a Caesar salad, steak quesadilla with fries, and soup (the soup was flavorless and tasted like cafeteria food). And while sometimes there are miscommunications going on that I as a customer can't see, our server failed to communicate or report these miscommunications to us. This location needs major improvement but outback itself is awesome:) p.s. the hostess was super nice! read more

If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would. The food was great per usual, however the service was PHENOMENAL!! The manager was so kind and checked on us multiple times and comped us a bloomin' onion when we had to wait longer than expected for our table. I'd like to formally give a shoutout to COLE! Yay Cole! Who singlehandedly filled us all to the brim with Outback's most delicious dark bread and honey butter. It just kept coming...it was truly a Christmas miracle! Cole, we love you. We will be back. The steak was perfectly cooked and the coconut shrimp was delightful. Also, my sister's chicken parm, Outback style, was the tastiest, most tender and moist chicken parm I've tasted in quite some time. Serious stars all around!!! Thanks Outback Gainesville team!! Y'all gave us an ace experience!!! read more

My band had an event nearby and afterward needed a place to gather for dinner and drinks. We had a group of 16 and another place nearby that we tried had a 90-minute wait. We called, and this location quickly put all of us together in a matter of minutes! Not only were they speedy and super hospitable with the seating, but our server Tori handled our drinks and food amazingly. Everything was delicious and we were super happy to be seated together to enjoy conversation and togetherness with some amazing food and drinks. Thanks so much! read more

Lunch here, no service,3 people in the place. Bread came out after asking for it and after salad. Then tough cold steak, wilted lettuce, and I guess they're gonna ask me to pay for this!!! Complained to the very young manager who couldn't deal with a complaining customer. read more

I went tonight with my family for a get together. We wanted 20 minutes and no one greeted us, we asked for someone to come to our table. The manager Ashley came over and took care of everything. Our sever came over finally after Ashley got us out drinks and appetizer. He was okay. I ordered my stake well done (I like my meat dead) it was pink. Once again Ashley took care of it. The meal was good as it always is. I have to say Ashley trun the whole experience around for the better. read more

I was impressed by everything in this restaurant. There was a half hour wait for our party, but we had our seats exactly when they said we would. The food was fantastic, but I'm not very picky and not a true food critic so I'll leave that there. Our waiter's name I think was Adam. He was the man the entire time we were there. He very frequently checked on everyone, and made sure everyone was happy. He was extremely friendly and funny, and a really good suggestive seller. read more

I didn't like it. The service was bad. There were so many mistakes made on my food in the three days I ate here. In spite of this, i still gave a 15% tip. I forgive. But i will not give you a good review. This location needs to be improved. read more

Food and service are always great and the steaks are always top notch. We've never had a problem with anything.

Good service. Salad greens were fresh, but fried chicken on salad was processed type. Overall, salad was ok, and the service was good.

We had a phenomenal Father's Day meal here. The service was wonderful and the food was cooked to perfection. We were extremely impressed with how well this Outback was managed. We met the young lady managing this particular one and she really knows how to make a customer feel like royalty. After being longtime fans of another local steak restaurant, this Bloke and Sheila, along with our 2 Joeys are 100% Outback. read more

It has taken an hour to get a salad. SALAD! Honestly, how difficult is it to "cook" salads. Iced tea was warm. I felt like I was in London, because we had to keep asking for ice. No pre-bussing the table. Then after the wait, the food was ice cold. The steak was at least cooked medium rare. The manager did comp two of our meals, though. read more

I like how you can add your name to the wait from their website, super cool! The place was clean, service was okay and the food came out in a timely manner. Looking around the staff seems happy and I can tell teamwork is encouraged. My only complaint is I asked for extra tomatoes on my salad and it came out with none, my husband asked for ketchup and he didn't get it until he was almost finished with his meal. Also when our tea was refilled there was no ice left in the glass, being a former server I also brought a cup of ice with a tea refill. Nothing that happened would make me not want to return to this location just wanted to share my experience. read more

Amazing food and even better service- Sarah was an amazing waitress, and all of our food came out really quickly. The best location I've been to! read more

Our waiter, Josh was the real deal. He made us laugh a lot and had a funny sense of humor. Food tasted exceptionally good, and we had a really good time. read more

Went to this location for the first time, and most likely the last for a while. The steak didn't have any flavor, the soup was lukewarm, the shrimp was just not that great. The service was good cause there just wasn't many people there. On a Saturday night, I would have expected more people if it was a better restaurant. read more

I went to Outback on January 12 with a group of 9. My steak was over seasoned and I had to send it back. This was the first bad steak I had ever received at this location. They made it right the second time! read more

my service terrible experience order a burger ask for ketchup almost done when delivered to my table , also my sister order steak ask for A1 they deliver when I was done with my meal . read more

I go to enjoy time and I love this place!!!! There food is awesome and my family and I go there when we are on vacation. Thanks for the good Food Outback!!!!!! -Logan Roach (aka The Cool Dude X) read more

Went there a few months ago and was very disappointed but decided to try again last night. Could it have been any worse? Food late. Food cold. Tiny portions and high prices for reduced portions . Really. Worst of all was the condition of the Ladies room. Not even any soap, and tp strewn all over the place. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Call ahead reservations were done but unnecessary. Pretty empty. Guess word has gotten around. Want to find out for yourself? Please save your money. Wish we did! read more

I really liked the kidsmeal chicken tenders. They were crispy and tender and I would definatly go there again.

Oops, my take-away order ended up not being what I had ordered. My 5 star rating goes to the follow-up by the terrific Kitchen Manager, Aaron Blackwell. We were in a predicament that prevented us from returning to get the order corrected, but he addressed this and saw to it that our order reached us. All this was done so nicely that we will definitely return to support this location whenever we are in the area. The food, from my order as well as that of my four friends, was very good. The customer care was excellent! read more

Had the crab stuffed shrimp as and appitizer. It was really good. Grilled lobster tail is a great addition to any meal.

One night bad timing that's all no bake potatoes, no certain salad dressing no biggie, but come dessert time they were out of 2 different types of things not good. Will definitely go back. Ellie M. read more

We came in for lunch today and had the absolute pleasure of having Jonathan as our server! He was so pleasant and polite and he genuinely seemed happy to be there servicing customers. He didn't pressure us at all during our stay at his table, we dined at our pace the entire time. A lot of times we go to restaurants and servers are just worried about making our checks higher so we tip them more so it was refreshing to have a server who cared about us and guided us through what we wanted. We didn't order much, my Mom ordered a soup and salad and I ordered the sampler appetizer as my dish and told him I didn't like onions and to surprise me with something instead. He brought it out with the fried mushrooms instead and when I told him I didn't care too much for Mushrooms he brought me out a cup of soup instead! From start to finish he went above and beyond for us for no other reason than to service us. There are many steakhouses on Dawsonville Highway we can choose from, but we are going to continue to patron this location and ask for Jonathan!! Thank you so much!!! read more

Absolutely love Outback! They support our local community in a variety of ways - they have served some of our local school faculty lunch, they always accommodate our special needs students (that is a very special end of the year trip for my students), and they have been very willing to accommodate food allergies over the years for my own children. The staff is always nice. If ever an item doesn't quite meet expectations, they immediately correct it - let's face it, sometimes kids think they know how they want something and then they see it and realize mom was right so we have to get it fixed. There's also the occasion that I might forget to say "no seasoning" or the like and they willingly fix it. I think Megan does a great job of building her team and holding them to the expectations she has for each of them. Taylor, Priscilla, Kaitlyn, Moose, Ethan (aka Johnny Depp to my kids!), Gary, and many others work hard each and every day to make coming to Outback a positive experience. We have been long time customers both in the restaurant and under To Go. As long as Megan continues to be in charge we will continue to come. It's fun and relaxing. I'm already looking forward to planning my end of year trip for 2018-2019 to Outback with my students! read more

It's an Outback. I don't do steaks there but I do like the grilled chicken on the barbie. Service has always been good on my visits.

This was the worst service I've ever had. The waitress was very rude and did not let me speak or order dessert. The food was extremely bland and the presentation was terrible. I found a French fry in my salad. This restaurant was very disappointing. read more

I frequent Outback about once a month for lunch. I get the same thing every time and it's always tasty and exactly what I wanted. The service is always very quick as well during lunch. The bartender, Katie, is fantastic and makes some great drinks! I will be back again next month, for sure. read more

Worst dining experience! Everything was sent back twice, including the bloomin' onion. The steaks were tough, despite being ordered medium rare. The potatoes were over cooked and dry. The manager was aware of the situation however, did not return to make sure we were satisfied until she brought us our check. Longhorn is a better choice. Our dining time was 3:30 pm on a Thursday...hate to see the food at a busy time. read more

Absolutely did not enjoy my experience at all. Place was extremely over crowded with no proper cleaning of seating tables, which was slightly wiped leaving a tremendous amount of food on the seats. I have never been much of a steak person so I decided I would give it a shot. The waitress was not knowledgeable of the food items listed on the menu what so ever. I was asking her questions about different steaks listed on the menu and every response from waitress was I'm not sure , I can find out. Excuse me what do you know?? Not only that I ordered the porterhouse steak well done and mashed potatoes clearly stating no bacon as I am allergic. What do you know here comes my loaded bacon potatoes and my far from being well done steak very much pink in the middle. I politely explained to the waitress about the mistake, In which she was very apologetic . However, the manager came over to apologize and ask if there's anything he do . Yes, I would like to enjoy my food. His response: So would you like for me to throw that back on the grill? Unbelievable, not to mention the bathroom was horror, I didn't even want to wash my daughter hands In there. luckily, I keep hand sanitizer with me. Very disappointed this is not how customers are supposed to be treated. read more
