I controversially did not eat steak at this steakhouse, I ate the ribs. And they were AMAZING! Outback really is a great place, the service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was lively. The ribs were practically falling off the bone and were perfectly cooked. The sauce was also not too strong and amplified the flavor. The mashed potatoes were flavorful but a little dry. I loved the asparagus! A great meal overall! read more

I do not recommend this Outback. I went in for wings and fries on Wednesday. The food was horrible. I ordered my food to go. I asked for Fries with no salt and wings well done. Instead of fries with no salt it was overdone. The wings were salty. I ate some of the fries and my dog ate the wings. It really was a waste of money. The food was also cold. The kitchen chef seemed like he cooked the food wrong on purpose. I just didn't want to turn back around and go back and forth with something that was clearly done on purpose. read more

Came to Outback Steakhouse with my boyfriend because I was craving a steak -- an affordable steak -- and honestly, Outback hit the spot. Sometimes you just want something familiar that does what it's supposed to do, and this was exactly that. The service was excellent. I believe our waiter's name was Collin, and he truly made the experience better. Attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish -- always appreciated. I ordered a 6oz steak with a sweet potato and a wedge salad. And if you've been following me, you already know... I'm a salad girl. This wedge salad did not disappoint. Matter of fact, it almost made me forget I even ordered a steak -- crisp, fresh, and surprisingly the star of the plate. Overall, this was a solid, enjoyable experience. Nothing over the top, just good food, great service, and a satisfying meal when the craving calls. read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend. We sat at the bar. Nice attentive staff and clean establishment. I love the private parking lot and convenient location near the beltway. I got the pasta and my friend got the toomba(Spelling) salmon everything was seasoned well and came out quickly. We tried the smoked old fashioned it had a good smoky flavor but was a little too heavy on the cinnamon flavor for my liking. The pina koala martini is delicious. Tropical vibes it's similar to a pina colada but is a hint stronger. read more

I had a very disappointing experience with Outback's hiring process. I interviewed on Monday for a host position, and the lady i spoke with told me she really liked me and wanted me to come back for a second interview on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. I arrived Tuesday around 4:00 p.m., and as soon as I parked, I received a text message from Outback with a link to schedule an interview. Naturally, I assumed my interview needed to be rescheduled, so I used the link they sent me and booked the next available time, which was Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. When I arrived for the rescheduled interview today, I was told I was actually supposed to have come yesterday. I showed the employee the text message that Outback sent me, and she even took a picture of it to show management. After speaking with them, she came back and told me that the text was "only for scheduling a first-round interview" and that I should have ignored it and still come Tuesday. That makes absolutely no sense. If I had already completed my first interview and had a second interview scheduled, why would i be sent a scheduling link for a first interview at the exact time I was arriving for my second interview? Any reasonable person would assume the link was being sent because interview time needed to be changed. Instead of acknowledging the confusion caused by their own system, it felt like blame was placed on me. This entire experience came across as disorganized and unprofessional. I was genuinely interested in working here, because I've worked at outback in a different state and really enjoyed my experience and had been wanting to re-join the company... but instead my time wasted and then I was spoken to like I was at fault for following the instructions their system sent me, I hope the hiring process is improved so future applicants don't experience the same confusion and disappointment. read more

We had an early dinner reservation at 5:15 and everything went smoothly. Ashley was our waitress and did a wonderful job making sure we were taken care of. Waters came out exactly as ordered, and the food didn't take long to arrive. Everything came out hot and fresh. We started with the baked potato soup and a Cesar salad, then the Shrimp on the Barbie with fries, which was tasty and cooked well. The broccoli was excellent, fresh and flavorful. The 6 oz steak, however, was mostly tendon and unfortunately very tough to eat, which was disappointing compared to the rest of the meal. Due to time restrictions on our part, we got cheesecakes to go -- a sweet finish we were glad to have later. Overall, it was a great deal for a three-course dinner, with attentive service and smooth timing. Ambiance was casual and clean. Ashley helped me when the gift card didn't go through and took it to the back. I do like Outback but not the steak I got today. read more

I had such a great experience at this Outback thanks to the manager, Ladarius. I initially called to place a curbside order, but the phone interaction wasn't the best. When I came inside, Ladarius listened, apologized sincerely, took my order himself, and went above and beyond to make things right. The best part was that he had the team member who answered the phone bring out my order and apologize. She was so kind and genuine, and what started as a frustrating experience turned into a really positive one. Excellent customer service and leadership from Ladarius. Thank you both for making my day! read more

I always looked at Outback as a childhood favorite, nothing more, nothing less....but let me tell you - I was wrong. It's still just as good as I remember. The food was delicious, steak cooked to perfection, salmon juicy, Mac and cheese perfect amount of cheese and noodle, and the veggies but wait, there's more, they have a $9 margarita that can hold its own. Our server was super cool and attentive. The restaurant is a very casual attire spot with a sports bar feel by the bar. Don't sleep on Outback like I did! read more

We had a great dinner at Outback! The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly and very tender. We also loved the Loaded Bloomin Onion it's a classic for a reason! Great service and a fun atmosphere. Definitely left full and happy. Highly recommend! read more

I should have trusted the reviews but hunger led us astray. Served a "bloomin burger" with the paper that separates the meat patties fried into the burger bun. Eat here at your own risk. Management was sweet and tried to fix each mistake but this is an actual safety issue. read more

It was a beautiful night to enjoy dinner with my team after a Conference planning meeting at the Marriott in Westchase area (Houston). We selected Outback Steakhouse as the place to dine. Talia was our waitstaff and she was gracious and hospital from the start. Service was fantastic! Restaurant was clean and bright with festive Christmas decorations around, very fun! Dinner was tasty, but the highlight of the evening was the gingerbread cookie martini, talk about delicious! Yum! Beautifully served, smooth, creamy and with a cute little Koala bear donned in a Christmas outfit, that you could take home! So cute! read more

Well my department was having a year end lunch and this was literally down the street from my office. And Outback did not disappoint. We arrived at 11:45 and the hostess quickly sat us down (party of 9). The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered our food and drinks and were greeted to complimentary bread and butter. The lunch menu is great and fresh as well. Well worth the price. I would highly recommend Outback for a quick lunch if you're in a rush. The quality of the food is amazing. read more

We have eaten here a handful of times and have never had a bad meal. Last time we went we spilt a the largest steak meal they had with the app of loaded fries, to share. All of the food was great. We had a lot of leftovers. Tonight we got the chicken and steak with the fries as a side and it was a no. The chicken and steak was the size of an egg and the amount of fries was smaller than a McDonald's fries for the ripe price of 23$. Because we spilt it I actually got 3 bites of chicken and steak each. The service was great and the restaurant was clean and empty. Not worth the price for the amount of actual food you're getting. read more

Service and ambience were good, the food and Sunday nights manager Derek, were the problem. I took my wife and daughter for Mother's Day, we were very specific about what we wanted, my wife's dinner came out smothered in barbecue sauce, the waitress took it to get another done without sauce, it came but with sauce over the top as if they had just scraped it off but missed some, the evenings manager stood there and said to my wife, "YOU WANT IT OR NOT", rude, narcissistic, arrogant, no manners, awful little man who needs classes on how to speak to customers, without whom he would not have a job. My daughter's meal arrived without vegetables, chicken and steak only. The rudeness of this guy spoiled a noght at one of my wife's favourite restaurants and Mother's Day to boot. , read more

I'm honestly very disappointed. My family and I always come to outback and I guess the guy handling my to go order today. Thought I wasn't gonna tip because I tend to give my tips cash when I place to go orders however he probably thought I wasn't gonna because I drove up to curbside and was waiting for my food to be ready, but I waited for about 15 minutes to 20 minutes. At some point, I decided to go in and ask if my order was ready and the guy was just standing there on his phone and you could tell that he realized he messed up because my order was right under his nose -literally. At that point he started trying to offer me sausages and I don't know what but there was absolutely no point if my food was already cold. I was on the phone with my mom and she said we're just not coming back to this Outback again. Didn't get the guys name but I hope he does a better job. read more

We went to enjoy Veterans Day meal. Told us about a 20 minute wait which ended up being an hour. Seated with no silverware or water. Took server another 10 minutes to take order. No water or soft drinks ever came. After total time waiting to sit or be served was an hour and twenty minutes. Had enough, got up and left. Everything about this Highway 6 location was horrible. I will never go to an Outback Restaurant again! Ever! If zero was available it would get a zero! read more

I have been the beneficiary to have dined as the finest restaurants in Texas over the past 3 1/2 decades for both pleasure and business. I have had the fortune to dine at Outback Steakhouse today for lunch, and to my delight, the experience exceeded my expectations. Though many exceptional restaurants in Houston, this location at 10001 Westheimer sets the standard amongst "All" their industry piers for the quality and standard of service because of our waitress, Celeste. She could write a book on customer service at its best, because Celeste is the very BEST. Celeste could not have been more generous and kinder throughout the meal, which make our experience extra special! With Gratitude, John B read more

Man outback is really worrying about the wrong things, I can see why they are going bankrupt and shutting down locations I get here and they are paying people to power wash the entire building that already looks nice. Meanwhile they are skimping so much on the food. The quality just isn't there anymore . The caeser salad is all white lettuce doesn't even use the good part of the lettuce anymore the steak I got did not taste good at all. The cooked veggies as my side was atrocious . Everything seemed like they are getting their produce and meats from Walmart now. Focus on y'all's food then maybe y'all can make more money. Texas Roadhouse surpasses Outback clear as day now they used to be competition but There is a reason why Texas Roadhouse is packed nonstop and I walk in here at 11:30 and it's a ghost town read more

My son and I went for the Aussie special. When we went in for lunch half of the restaurant was filled. The hostess was cordial and seated us promptly. The waiter also came pretty quickly and got our order and gave us food promptly. The only minus is that the restaurant could be cleaner. I looked at the carpet and it seemed like it needed a deep clean. My ribeye steak came out med just like how I ordered however my son's was pretty much well done even though he ordered med. overall our experience for this restaurant was good. read more

The service was timely and excellent! The food we were served was very much below par! Much of it was very poorly prepared! The Bloomin' Onion was so GREASY that it was virtually inedible. (Nothing left for the digestive system to overdo!) The barbecued rib meat fell off the rib bones before they reached our table! The French Fries were overdone to the extent they were almost inedible! The baked potato was underdone and lacked sufficient condiments. We will discourage all our friends and family from dining at your restaurant in every way we can unless your management reaches out to us in a meaning way.

Every now and then, I am shocked and impressed. This is one such review. I have never been a fan of Outback Steakhouse. In my pre-reviewing days, I found most of their food seemed pushed through with no attention to quality. I had dinner with my aunt Friday night and since it was her turn to pick the restaurant, this is where we landed. First, the service. We were immediately greeted and seated with a smile even though we requested a couple options before deciding on where to sit... it was cold outside, and we were seeking a warm booth. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered wine and talked for a bit before getting to our appetizer decision. The server took their time with us and never rushed our evening. Of course, we settled on that lovely 1620 calorie Blooming Onion. It is delicious. You just have to not worry about the calories and know you got to watch your intake for a full week after! It is the one thing I knew I liked there, and it is great for sharing. They start you out with complimentary bread and butter, but I did not taste it. It' a dark bread. I am not a big fan of the darker ones. My aunt, on the other hand, loves it. I wasn't super hungry after the Blooming Onion, so I ordered their appetizer of coconut shrimp and a wedge salad. The wedge salad was perfect with the bacon crumbles, grape tomatoes and dressing. I don't know what it is, but I love wedge salads! The coconut shrimp were honestly the best coconut shrimp I have ever had! No lie. I have been to amazing Florida seaside restaurants and eaten in 5-star seafood restaurants in Galveston, but never had shrimp like this! Flakey, light, big and perfectly fried is the only way to describe these. Everything was terrific for our dinner out. I was very impressed and happy we ended up there. The restaurant is clean and has a decent sized bar in the middle. There are both booth and regular table seating available. The restrooms were very well kept and smelled nice. read more

I will never be eating here again. I have lived near this restaurant for years and periodically give up on ordering from them after they get an order so egregiously wrong that I'm tired of them (mind you these are all pick-up to go orders). This last visit is the one to break the camels back. My husband and I both ordered boneless ribeyes (priced at around $30 a piece right now), they were both over cooked and tasted like they had not been seasoned at all. This was a birthday dinner and a huge splurge for us given our current financial situation; I will not be coming back. read more

Outback can be a hit or miss proposition. Today was a "hit". The dining room open, but not crowded. Our waitress, Annette, was on the spot offering water and taking our drink order. The bar was exceptionally slow pouring two glasses of wine. We ordered way too much food. A bloomin onion, the 8oz sirloin for the Mrs. and the 8oz sirloin with 6 Aussie ribs for me. Both dinners came with a side salad and choice of potato. The salad is as basic as you can get. Lettuce, cucumber, tomato and red onion. And of course, croutons. We ordered our steaks medium rare. They came red center. I think medium would have been more to our preference. Outback brags about their 17 spices; but I really didn't taste any of them. My baked potato was thoroughly cooked, but soggy on the outside. Probably wrapped in foil and kept in a steamer. All in all, a very good experience. Outback doesn't pretend to be the high end steak houses, so the two of us probably ate for the price of one dinner at a Perry's. And the best part, we have great leftovers for dinner. Probably tomorrow. So our expensive lunch is looking like a pretty good deal! read more

Wow! Ordered a bone in ribeye, are the cooks even from Texas? Steak had so much salt it was not edible. We do not salt the crap out of our steaks here, that is something you do with rotten meat to hide a sour taste. Extremely disappointed after a long drive and that was what was prepared. Chef, cooks, and management need training, disgusting. read more

My husband and I went to the Outback Steakhouse while we were dating during the glory days of the Rockets. We ate at the bar and had lovely times. Tonight he was working late and so I decided to go in and get the porterhouse steak with 2 sides. We have shared it numerous times. I ordered it Med rare and when it came out the filet side was almost nonexistent. So I asked the server to see the manager. He brought the manager out and all was fine the manager stated that the steak did not present well and offered another porterhouse or a 6 oz filet to make it right. I opted for the 6 oz filet. All was well until the manager circled back by to let me know that he wanted me to know that this was the way most porterhouse-steaks presented and that I should not expect more than a sliver of filet. Insinuating that I was ignorant of what a porterhouse should be or that I was expecting more than what I ordered. Well this did not sit well with me. A nice dinner turned into a crummy moment. My server Rather was excellent and I was happy until the manager needed to school me in the Outback Steakhouse Porterhouse cut and my unrealistic expectations. The filet side was obviously trimmed and well done- see photo. I will not be ordering that again. read more

Absolutely a joke of a place to eat Our server was more interested in her phone than waiting tables Ordered the 3 course special The salad and steak were both good When it came time for the included dessert we were informed no one had cut the cheesecake yet so there would be a delay Then waited additional time to get our bill We were never thanked for coming in or asked about the rewards I would not recommend the restaurant based on very poor service read more

I work at a nearby preschool and the manager at Outback Steakhouse was so kind and dropped off multiple bags of food for the staff/teachers here for free. The secretary told the afternoon workers to take some home. It was totally unexpected and made our day! I took home the loaded fries. It had melted cheese and bacon bits over them and it was tasty. It was a tad too salty but I think if it came with ranch it would've been perfect. This Outback location has been here as long as I could remember - I think the last time I went was as a child with my parents. Maybe I'll have to check them out again after this random act of kindness. read more
