We ordered take-out. THe steak was tough and over cooked. The bloomin onion had grease dripping from it. It will not prevent me from ordering again, but it was disapointing. read more

Our waitress was very pleasant and worked very hard to provide good service. This was one of the best steaks that I've eaten in a good amount of time. I really enjoyed this meal, the atmosphere was pleasant. read more

Loved the Ribs! Last time, I had a steak and shrimp and these were also very good! The service was excellent, the restaurant clean and the food fresh and tasty! Since I eat lunch out often, I wish they were open for lunch every day but am happy that this location is now open for lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Will be adding it to my "list" of regular places to eat. read more

Everyone knows Outback as a pretty reliable 'old standby" that is about as consistent a chain as you can find. I find when I am traveling for business the food in all of them is always solid, but this one really takes customer service to another level. I ordered takeout and they had accidentally given my order to a previous customer, and even though the place was absolutely packed and they were backed up, the manager immediately apologized (which happens nowhere today) and very quickly had a replacement ready. The replacement order even seemed like it may have been more food than usual, but the real icing on the cake was the entire order was on the house because they made a relatively minor mistake. You don't get that level of appreciation for your business anywhere else in the HR area, so I will continue to patronize and recommend them to anyone I know. p.s.the ribeye was damn tasty read more

Awesome! We came to Outback tonight after being in the sun all day and we were starving! We went new a location that we have never been to (Highlands Ranch). The food was great; can't beat their cheese fries and their Victoria's filet beats a pricy steakhouse filets every time, but what really made the difference between a good dinner and a great dining experience was Davonce! He greeted us at the door with a welcoming smile, cut up some fruit for our baby without being asked and he gave our other kiddos some animal crackers on the way out. He genuinely seemed to care about all the restaurant guests and that's not something you see everyday, even at a well run establishment like Outback. Great experience, we will drive the extra 10 minutes to go to this location next time for sure! read more

I love outbacks, and this one delivered - even more than expected. I threw them for a loop, and ordered my mid rare - holy moly! What a perfect cut of steak - yummy ... Top notch service, from beginning to end read more

Only bad service, a bad attitude and a bad manager can create a perfect experience. One worth, well, zero. I have eaten at Outbacks all over the country and I am stuck living by one that can't seem to get their act together. Even the corporate office (no it's not in Australia) will not respond or even acknowledge the feedback we left. Great chain, just a poor local management team... read more

We came out to celebrate our children's birthdays. We did call ahead for seating as it was a Saturday at 5:30 P.M. When we arrived the place was PACKED but the host staff were on their "A" game. After about 15-20 minutes we got our table. Our server Maddie was terrific - friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was also better than it as been n the past. I know that Outback is a chain and sometimes the experience isn't always super great but usually it is good. This visit, however, was FANTASTIC and the entire staff needs to be commended for their efforts, along with whoever is currently in charge. Great Special on my meal, too, which always helps! Things are right at this Outback. read more

It's 5:30 pm and they have no baked potatoes available for an hour and a half. Really?? I looked at the reviews on line before coming here and thought they were pretty harsh, but after visiting, advise that the reviews are a little too kind. I really feel for the wait staff for the inability of management to make his a great place. read more

Terrible food and service. I haven't had a dining experience this bad in years! I could have gotten over any of the issues individually, but not all at one time. My husband and I agree that we will NEVER visit this restaurant again. 1. Despite the fact that it wasn't crowded at lunch, the server was impatient and I felt rushed when ordering. 2. When we received our bread and butter, the butter had a hair in it. I apologized for bothering the waiter and pointed out the hair. He never brought any butter back. 3. My french onion soup was horrible. Canned french onion soup has less salt. There was bread on top with no cheese (arguably the best part of the soup). 4. The lettuce in our salads tasted like old bagged lettuce. 5. The coconut shrimp appetizer was not crispy. After taking a bite, the coconut breading would fall off the remaining part of the shrimp. 6. The cheese on my son's grilled cheese wasn't even melted and one side of the bread was completely white. 7. The server forgot to bring out the fruit to go with my son's sandwich. He didn't seem to care. 8. At one point the server brought my husband and I refills. We thanked him and he didn't even respond. Yeah...there wasn't one good thing about this visit. read more

I'm not much for reviewing chains because they all seem - as one friend described it - "boil-in-bag". Sure, there are higher-end chains and some have quality controls that are better than others. When it comes to occasions such as lunch with a group, these places fill an essential need. After all - it's not a hot date. It's a place to gather. There's something for everyone on the menu...it's familiar...and gets lunch done without burning too much time. Is it just me, or has the Outback chain declined significantly in recent years? I'm not trying to pick on this location. I've noticed this at another location within the last year or so. Overall, food quality is NON-existent. Tough steaks that, even if you do order medium-rare, require sawing and more chews per bite than a Nylabone would. You DEFINITELY need A-1 here, since this thing has basically no flavor. Salads that describe "fresh mixed greens" on the menu but come out with iceberg. That cute brown mini-loaf that used to taste so wonderful? Well, it looks the same, but leaves a strange funky bitter finish on the tongue these days. After a small bite, I'm not so disappointed now that only two of these mini loaves were left after all. Total weirdness: my whole meal came out nearly falling off of a tiny plate that is the size typically used for appetizers/tapas. (What the...?) Except for two other tables -- it was mostly empty and quiet at a prime dining time. At least I sort of like the song "Firework" by Katy Perry and sang along in my head as I stared up at the purple-painted drop ceiling. The inside decor looks exactly like it did in the 1990's when the chain was new, back when Friday nights (if everyone managed to coordinate with messages on cassette-based answer machines was successful) meant that you might have dinner at a place like Outback and after a few ridiculously sweet frozen cocktails - end up at the local club dancing the night away to Macarena. Even the menu has exactly the same items that I remember. I noticed ONE "NEW!" item: tacos. (Tacos? er, ok...that's random...) This particular location needs good deep cleaning. A close looks reveals food smudges and a funky musty odor that knocks your breath out when you first walk in. Again, it's not just this location - Outback seems like a shell of its former self. read more

Two times now, our food is sub par and the prices are outrageous for the quantity. The size and quality does not match the price at all... not even close. I'd rather have red Robin... my family and I will never go back to this or any other outback steakhouse again! read more

Second time doing carside pick up.First time was great! Had the ribeye, baked potato, grilled shrimp and house salad. Everything was perfect. Ordered the same this evening. Steak was under cooked. Ordered medium well, got rare. And no "fixins" for baked potato and no utensils. Working late on my house 20 minutes away with no amenities other than a microwave.Now I have to nuke a 22$ steak and use hand tools to eat it all! The little details make the difference! Maybe a off night was all it amounted too. Wait staff at carside was friendly and the shrimp was good. Salt in the wound, out of Xmas spirit tipped them 15 on a 34 dollar ticket! read more

I ate here and i had a very sharp bone in my salmon. Never again! Don't eat the salmon here!

I'm done with Outback. Last night was the icing on the cake. I've been eating at Outback since about 1988/1989. I've always enjoyed the unhealthy, flavorful(salty, buttery)taste of their food. Since I started eating at the Highlands Ranch Outback, I've given much more thought to the overall experience. What really, really bothers me is how the portion sizes have changed and the prices have increased considerably. The "add a salad" to an entree has shrunk in size. The chicken and rib combo left me hungry last time I ordered it. I think the entree costs about $20.00+ but you only receive 1 slab of 5-7 ribs. A rack of 12 ribs is the way it should be. The baked potato I received last night with my chicken on the barbie was about half the size of previous baked potatoes I've ordered. The service is typically OK, but nowhere near perfect. The saving grace is the friendliness of the servers. The servers usually are really accommodating and outgoing. Back to the food, the amount of salt and butter the kitchen uses on a daily basis must be eye opening. I don't know how the FDA allows this company to get away with it. No joke. I rarely ever see a manager floating around while I'm dining at this location unless he's at the bar puttin' a few Bloakies back. In case you are wondering, this location is franchised or licensed to an individual owner. I'd be curious if other local Outback's are operated in a similar fashion to this location. read more

I've always been a fan of Outback. I love the Bloomin' Onions and the chopped blue cheese salads. I was on business in Highlands Ranch recently and decided I was up for a good ribeye. I stopped in at Outback and ordered one. I must say, I was pretty disappointed. The ribeye was full of tough gristle, not flavorful marbling but just tough stuff. It wasn't very flavorful. The rest of my meal and service were great. I decided that maybe I just was served an off side of meat that night and decided to give it one more go. So, during that same five day business trip I decided to go try another ribeye. Unfortunately, the experience was the exact same. The ribeye was just not very good. I normally eat at Texas Roadhouse chain steak houses near my own home and always seem to get great ribeye. For some reason this Outback in Highlands Ranch just didn't seem to be up to par with the steak quality. My service was superb, and my favorite sides were delicious. But if a steakhouse can't serve up a good steak it leaves something to be desired. read more

We decided to give this location another chance after our poor experience this past November. Back then we ordered our steaks well done and medium well done. Both steaks came out medium rare. This time we decided to be smart and order them medium. After waiting for almost 30 minutes we were served two very well done steaks. Both were dried out and had a lot of gristle. On the plus side, the Bloomin Onion was great as was our server. I guess this is just not the place to go to get a decent steak. read more

We had a very small issue with our meal. The manager came over to apologize and really took care of us. He really WOW'd me and showed tremendous customer service! We are certainly going back! read more

My husband and I both ordered steaks med rare (like we always do). My steak was raw, extremely bloody and not even close to med rare. My husbands was a little better but still not med rare. We sent them back (which I have never done). When we got them back my husbands was perfect mine was still cold in the middle. The manager came out to see how the steaks were. I said mine was still on the rare side. He then gave me a talk that I don't know what med rare is and that I need to know what I am ordering next time. I couldn't believe it! We will never go back. It's one thing to not cook a steak right I get that but to be lectured on how I'm wrong and need to know what I'm ordering is humiliating. read more

Just thought I would write and say....WOW.... The service was amazing tonight and they treated me like a queen on my birthday. The manager, Josh, was so welcoming and made my night the best. I will remember this birthday because of him and the server. I cant remember the name of my server but he was amazing. I came along with my husband and he was very respectful. I will be coming back with extra people and extra friends next time. Thanks so much for making this day special!!!! read more

We had a few small issues with our meal tonight , but the manager by name Josh came over to apologize and really took care of us. He really WOW'd me and showed us tremendous customer service! They are definitely appreciate their customers! We are certainly coming back! read more

Since I have posted this review I did receive a couple of personal phone calls from the Proprietor of this Outback location. In his messages he apologized for the recent experiences. I do sincerely hope that we can give this restaurant another try in about 6-12 months to see if the improvements have been made. read more

The food is good but the service is bad. Servers need and have to bring bread with out them asking the customers plus the drinks didn't have gas and tasted bad with no flavor. Not coming here no more read more

BAD: Gin - no Bombary, Tanqueray, or even Beefeaters - they did have Hendricks if you want gin that tastes like cucumbers. Never been to a restaurant that had NONE of the three gins listed above - this is not good. I had a martini with the "Botanist" gin - besides being watery it tasted poorly. I ordered 6 oz. Victoria's filet - Victoria s/b ashamed - it looked like a 3/4" thick boneless porkchop from the grocery store, NOT a filet like I've EVER seen at any restaurant, and certainly nothing like the picture on the menu. I felt scammed - really a poor excuse for a filet - should have had the sirloin for $10 less and much thicker. My Ceasar salad had a "Granny Smith" package sticker in it - impressive. GOOD: We had excellent service and our waiter comp'd my martini. Been to many Outbacks over the years, including this one, but won't be going back. It was "just barely" premium dining experience before, but now it's gone to the dogs. It's too bad, but there are too many other places to go that stock popular gin and don't give you a filet mignon that makes you wish you had ordered the hamburger steak. Sliding downhill here. read more

Pretty regular dinner spot for my family. Always has been one of my favorite restaurants when it comes to prime rib. The staff is very friendly. Our favorite is Billy. He always makes a point to come say hi to us. He'll even sit down and have a conversation which makes us feel very special. This staff always goes the extra mile. Jeff is very friendly as well. My order is almost never wrong here. The wait time is ridiculous though. If they could manage wait times a little better rather than their standard "it's going to be a 25 minute wait" answer when it's really 45 min. Still love this place! read more

I've always enjoyed this restaurant, that was until I went 3 nights ago for my birthday dinner and ordered the 6oz sirloin with unlimited shrimp and was up all night vomiting and massive diarrhea and all day the next day. Service was great, food needs to be inspected! My son also had the 12oz sirloin, wasn't sick, just had diarrhea. read more

I dined here for the first time this month and I had a very delightful experience. Immediately entering the building, the hostess opened the doors for us and took us to a booth. It was very nice interacting with someone so lively and happy to seat us. We have a very attentive server who gave us the space we wanted but was always there when we need help or wanted to order. Very pleasant lunch from the staff. read more

Went on a busy Fri night, there was a 20 min wait so we bellied up to the bar in the meantime. Bartender was awesome, suggested the blood orange margarita which was SO good. When we got to our table we were ready to order and our waiter was very prompt and friendly. Our order came pretty quickly but instead of loaded baked potato he gave me mashed potatoes with sour cream, butter, and chives on top because they were out of baked potatoes. A kind gesture but it was a sloppy wet mess on the plate. But even that was better than the thin burnt looking "juicy" rib eye that was next to it. Honestly I was speechless. It looked like a piece of meat you would get late at night at Dennys. It was small (maybe it started out 16 ounces but after they cooked the crap out of it it was about 8) and looked like it had sat in a frying pan too long. My instant reaction was "THIS is $22?!!!!" Not that I'm cheap or anything but if it's a good juicy steak I'm willing to pay, and if not then.....anyway because it's a steakhouse I assume that they know steaks. I was wrong. I hope it was just a bad night but honestly there are too many choices for restaurants to go to so suffice to say that Outback is way off my list. Next time I'll go back to Longhorn. read more

Just ate dinner here. I ordered 2 lobster tails, garlic mashed potatoes, and a side salad. Hubby ordered steak and lobster tail. We had shrimp and lobster bites for an appetizer. I asked for a glass of Merlot and Hubby had a Vodka martini up. First let me say, this is a chain, you must realize what that means in terms of food preperation and presentation.. The menu is large and offers a variety of beef, fish, and chicken. We were immediately seated in a moderately crowded restaurant ( it was a game night). Our water Matthew was right there to take our drink orders. My wine was a generous portion and Hubby's martini was ok. The appetizer was lightly fried in a tempura type batter, served with a sweet chili sauce. Plenty for 2. The bread was a fresh baked short loaf of pumpernickel and tasty. My side salad was served separately and was made with fresh lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Hubby's steak was prepared perfectly to order and he said it was very good. My dinner was served hot, but the fresh water lobster tails (grilled) were overdone. No problem. Our waiter summoned Josh, the manager, and he made them right. The garlic mashed were really dirty mashed with some garlic pieces and not quite enough butter. Josh was attentive and even provided Hubby with an extra lobster tail. The second dish of lobster was much better. Matthew was a great server and the restaurant was clean. Dinner for 2 around $67, not counting tax and tip. We had not eaten at an Outback in over 3 years. Some of the prices are higher, 2 lobster tails for $26 with 2 sides. Keep in mind these are fresh water tails and a bit smaller that Maine tails. read more
