Since the Hubs was in tampa, i took a trip to find the local Outback. It is our off 44, and about a half our from my home. I had the very bubbly Melody as my server. She was excellent and lnew many of her customers, her rapport was excellent. It seems she really likes what she's doing. I ordered one of the seasonal offerings, the chimichuri steak with awesom blossom petals, a ceasar salad and the new parmesan creme corn. The steak was cooked perfectly, the sauce was vibrant and tangy. The only issue, minor as it was, is that the onion petsls tasted microwaved vs fresh from the fryer. They were passable, but I expected more Over all very happy with both food and service read more

Family and friends dinner group of 5. Called ahead and made a reservation to be safe. When we arrived things were a little discombobulated as the hostess left station after greeting us for a couple mins then returned and said due to waitress change over we needed to wait until they clocked in or start to work before the hostess would seat us. We were seated and the waitress came over and apologized and asked if we were waiting long as she just got told it was her table. The waitress was awesome, great service and very attentive and made suggestions and never let our drink run out.. We ordered a blooming onion, cheesy fries for starters then we ordered adult beverages, steaks, salad and I ordered the seared ahi tuna All the food was fresh, hot and tasted great and it all arrived at same time no delays or errors. We will return for sure read more

The cooks need to learn the difference between the raw, rare,medium rare,medium and well. We ordered the burger while the food was very good the meat was undercooked. Service was excellent. And for a pick up it went very good. They were brought the food out before I got parked. Very quick service. read more

Today's visit to Outback for lunch, was with a group of more than 30 people. Large groups provide a different kind of challenge. We were seated and greeted promptly. They were expecting us. Drink orders were taken. Bread and butter weren't far behind. The servers were fast and efficient. Our group was thanked by the manager for coming. They have a special going on now the Aussie 3-course meal which includes soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert. I opted for coconut shrimp, baked potato, salad, and dessert was cheesecake. The food arrived HOT!!! My biggest complaint is food being served not hot ... they aced it. Five stars is because everything was perfect. To quote a famous line .... I'll be back ...... read more

Ordered prime rib, medium well, delivered to table RAW. Sent back. They put it on the grill!!! Came back dried out through and through. If I wanted FRIED, I would have ordered such. Called manager and pointed out issue, was told it would be "taken care of". Meat was ruined. They took 10% off bill. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND NOR RETURN! read more

HOT! Went 5 weeks ago and it was hot inside. We were told their AC was having issues and they were working on its our salad was warm and the overall experience was not enjoyable. Went again yesterday it was still hot! We finished our cocktail and decided to go somewhere else to eat. As we walked out the door the manager asked us how our dinner was. I let her know it was to hot, she acted surprised as sweat rolled down her face. I also told her those working conditions aren't appropriate for the staff. Everyone looked miserable. read more

We got the Mother's Day special filet and lobster tail. Everything was perfect! The filet was tender and the lobster tasty.

Last time here. I was just awful food (wings and chicken fingers) Used to love Outback, sad that the last few times were not good, but today took the cake. read more

My Husband and I took my Brother and Sister in law for his Birthday, I had to send Back my Steak Three times and it still wasn't cooked! Horrible! The Manager was also just as pissed as I was. I couldn't believe they couldn't cook a Ribeye steak Medium! Blood was dripping on the plate. I would not recommend eating there. It Changed for the Worst. read more

Hubby and I decided to go to eat at this Outback located in Inverness Florida for our date night because they were offering some new menu items that he wanted to try. Our waitress was very nice and extremely efficient with all the tables she was serving. We had no complaints and all I heard was nice compliments from everyone else. We were contemplating between two appetizers - the original Bloomin' Onion and their new Bloomin' Fried Shrimp. The Bloomin' Onion won out just by a small margin. We were very pleased with our choice. A nice sized Onion cut into petals and dipped in their special batter then deep fried and served with their spicy bloom sauce. Very delicious and additive. I was going to order their new menu item : spicy jammin' meatloaf but at the last second changed my mind to Alice Springs Chicken. My two sides were fresh veggies and their seasoned rice. The Alice Springs Chicken is a boneless skinless chicken breast topped with sliced fresh mushrooms, bacon, honey mustard, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. The chicken was cooked perfectly : moist and tender and had a great flavor. It was a nice sized portion too. My fresh veggies were sautéed zucchini, yellow squash and carrots in a light sauce. Very good, tender but not mushy - they were a great side to my chicken. I also really enjoyed their seasoned rice. I couldn't find any fault with the flavor or texture. My hubby tried their new menu item Bloomin' Fried Chicken. A boneless, skinless chicken breast hand battered in their bloomin' Onion batter and fried until golden brown. Served with their bloom sauce and two sides. Hubby chose a Caesar Salad and a baked potato with butter and sour cream. He loved the bloomin' fried chicken so much he said he had wanted a bigger portion. His sides were excellent also especially the Caesar salad. Their dressing is one of the best he ever tasted, and after giving me a bite I would have to agree with him. Our meals were accompanied by a small hot loaf of pumpernickel bread with butter that we cut ourselves - scrumptious. We washed all of our food down with multiple glasses of unsweetened ice tea which our waitress kept on top of. A great date night meal - excellent company, scrumptious food and wonderful service! read more

Took a year off from Outback due to food service. The other steakhouse was busy with children's night and Santa appearing on the 16th Dec. Party of 10. Everything was timely with no errors. . Robert your crew did well this time. read more

First, I want to start with an apology. My wife and I went to this Outback a couple years ago and had a very bad experience and I let everybody know when I posted my review here onYelp. I am a former restaurant order from Cincinnati Ohio so I love writing reviews on all the restaurants that we go to just to give my opinion for those who may use this application in choosing their dining experiences. Now, I have a new review because we had a new and great experience I had a big problem with their fillet last time and this time the petite fillet looked perfect, was prepared perfectly and was delicious. My wife had the salmon, which was delicious ... and our two friends both had the Sirloin ... delicious as well. Gayle was our server ... and, from the beginning of our service to the end, she was perfect. Outstanding. I would go so far as to recommend that you ask for her if you go to this out. I must also mention that there were two young ladies at the check in station, and one needs to be retrained! I didn't even get her name. She was a thin, dark haired young lady who never showed a smile, did not greet us in any way and came across pretty negatively. The other was Shea Lin, who was great. Very nice, smiled and was very helpful. Thanks for listening. Bon appétit ! Bob read more

We were invited here for the soft opening when proceeds benefitted KCI. During that time our experience was amazing. This time was the total opposite! Service was mediocre , at best. The time from when we were seated to when we got our meal was an hour and then the order wasn't correct. Used dishes were left on our table and A FEW of them were only removed when I asked for them to be taken away. We won't be back. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Used dishes piling up on the table. These were left after I asked for them and others to be removed. - Steakhouses Near Me - Inverness, Florida

Always a great meal and great service at Outback in Inverness. Very consistent all around.

I'm done with ordering steaks from Outback! Their steaks have missed the mark too many times with poor quality and less than desirable taste. If I go there again, I'll need to find something else to order other than any of their steaks! read more

The service was horrible!! It took over 15 minutes to get our drinks and about an hour to get my salad and another 45 to receive my dinner there was a total of 6 tables with people dining and 3 different servers absolutely no reason for it to take this long will never be dinning here again!! As we were leaving 2 cooks and 2 servers were just sitting out back smoking and hanging out! As my hangry 4 year old said "McDonalds is better than this place " ! read more

A VERY pleasant surprise! Everything the way it should be! Thank you! Right out of the box I'll admit that we've been staying away from Outback. We'd had multiple less-than-stellar experiences at our nearest Outback. We gave them opportunities to win us back, but after four attempts, we called it quits. So, it took a HUGE leap of faith, a different location AND a $50 birthday Gift Card to bring us back to the Bloomin' Brand. Bathed in a twilight splash of colors, awash in a light drizzling rain, we hopscotched over puddles on the glossy black tarmac. Roof edge waterfalls cascaded down as we ducked in, to this Outback. Leading my lady by the hand, Fab One & I chose to sit in a cozy booth. In the adult libation area. Some would call it the 'bar'. What a great choice and lucky us! For this was the service domain of the inimitable Sherry! She welcomed us with 'open arms'... We were soon to realize that our past down under frown blunder journeys were fading away, just as the lights that go down in the city at sunrise. We were so impressed with the reprieve that Sherry was serving, I insisted on speaking with the manager. That would be Jennifer. In no time, we all had a high vibe, high five kind of feeling. And plenty of applause for Sherry. Awesome! Am I leaving anything out? OH! The food! Fab One chose the 8 oz. Outback Sirloin, I believe these used to be called The Outback Special? For sides, she got the obligatory loaded baked potato and a chopped pecan salad. It was a pleasing relief to see her smiling eyes, as she dabbled in some mighty fine fork & knife feasting. (I know that look. Wink!) I REALLY wanted to get a Bloomin' Onion. HOW can you NOT get a Bloomin' Onion? I just knew that I'd better leave room for my steak-craving plate that was to come! So, there was to be NO Bloomin' Onion in our future. Not tonight, anyhow. I witnessed a virtual light bulb go off over Sherry's head, as she pointed out an item on the special 'Specials' menu. And there, in bold colors, was the answer to my Outback comeback! I could get a Steak 'N Mate Combo! I'd get my Outback Sirloin paired with Bloomin' Fried SHRIMP! Imagine the taste of a Bloomin' Onion but wrapped around succulent shrimp! Shrimp swimming in that spicy bloom sauce. AND this came with TWO sides! Craving completely satisfied! Pinch me! Naturally, I got a loaded Baked Potato and a take-me-back House Salad. Ohhhhhhh, did we ever hit the jackpot! A raindrop falling, memory recalling, Sherry grand slamming, old hangout homecoming... It was a magical night. A great belated birthday present and a much-needed repast.... read more

I gave it a three because this restaurant is hit or miss sometimes it's right on point and everything is great and you could in the next day and it's the worst poor mgmt and unfriendly staff with exception of the host who seems to be in a good mood each time I visited. read more

I was at a baseball game in Inverness and called in my order. when I drive up, my order was coming out to curbside. The young lady who brought it out to me was so friendly. Never have had a bad meal there. Great job and hats off to the cook! read more

I had the 9 oz sirloin with baked potatoe Steak melted in my mouth. Great flavor Potato was loaded with butter and sour cream. Overall a terrific meal read more

I think Outback is among the better of the chain joints. I got a burger this time, it was ok, but the Bloomin Chicken is much better, I should have stuck with that. Service was great. Oddly, like the last time we went to lunch at the one close to home, this location was very empty. read more

Ordered to go, classic blue cheese wedge side salad arrived looking nothing like the picture on the app. One chunk of lettuce with a few sprinkles of blue cheese in a couple of cherry tomatoes tossed in with a little side of blue cheese dressing. Definitely not worth the price. And then the wings were tasteless and the bones were dark brown indicating that it was old meat . The fries were limp and very sparse. All in all it was the most disappointing to go order from any restaurant I've ever received. Will not be going back at least to this particular franchise. read more

Had a pick up order for a party of 6 tonight. I arrived on time, selected my spot on the app and the girl was out with my food in min later. Food was correct and looked great and tasted even better! Thanks again! read more

Outstanding again !!! The French Onion Soup is the Best around, bar none !!! The Blooming Onion is my favorite, Always Great and never disappointing!!!

I often order curbside. Each time I have been completely satisfied with the service and the quality of the food.

Food and service both dining in and take away (experiences both ways this month). Tasty food and prompt attention whether I'm sitting at a table or in my car. read more

We were hungry and wanted to go out to eat. Outback was my choice the wife agreed so we went. We sat at the bar and they were social Distancing. Kyle was our bartender and he gave us great service. We started with the Aji tuna it was terrific. I then ordered the prime rib 16 ounce it was very tender and tasty. No way had the ribeye and lobster tail she enjoyed it. We've been here many times and it's always the same terrific. Thank you for the great night Kyle. read more

My husband and I had an amazing lunch at Outback today. I don't generally leave reviews but it was just too good to forget! Our meals were so delicious and the service was perfect! We were truly made to feel like the only couple there! Nicole was our waitresses name....if you stop by you should definitely ask for her...you won't be sorry!!! Thank you Outback and Nicole for a very memorable lunch!! We'll for sure be back!! read more

I had the prime rib yesterday, it was terrible, our bill was 71.00. That's the end for me there.

Inverness Fl location. The appetizer and bread was brought with no plates to use. The waitress had a bit of an attitude. She was nice overall, but seemed to have little experience waiting tables as she never cleared our dishes from the bread or appetizers. She brought refills without clearing empty glasses. The food was good and was brought out reasonably prompt. She had the nerve though to confront a guest in our party over the amount of the tip that they left. Not cool!!! I like the Outback, but this has to be the worst exp we've ever had with The Outback. We are considering never visiting this location ever again. We hope things will change. Our server was Samantha K ticket # 34 read more

Decent food but nothing special. Service was good. The establishment was clean and the people were friendly. But let's face it it's like Applebys or O'Charleys.. Portions have gotten smaller and the price has gotten higher... I can make a better steak at home.. read more

Thank you so much Sue for making lunch with my granddaughter great. My granddaughter had her choice of places to eat so we could celebrate her graduation. She ordered steak and I ordered the Queensland chicken and shrimp our food was excellent our service was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be going back. Will also be asking for Sue. read more

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences in Citrus County. This Outback is spot-on with steak temperatures and all foods ordered. Our server Daniel was the best. We dined here again yesterday. I've had better service here than I've had at 5 star restaurants. This is a must go-to for those whom are wanting a great steak at a great price with the best service. Ask for Daniel. Kudos to the manager who trained the staff because he/she is doing a great job. A+ read more

Hit or miss at outback locations but this location has been pretty steady. If you order there trademark Sirloin then you're pretty good to go. The few times I do come here I sit at the bar because I prefer the atmosphere. Stick to the Sirloin and the side orders are all pretty good. I'm always a salad and broccoli person but people seem to like the big tater tot's, Bloomin onion, twisted ribs etc.. read more

Service was great. Food was terrible. Sent back mushrooms appetizer as they were so overcooked. Wanted prime rib rare..they didn't have it!!! Ended up with a pasta dish that was passable. Shrimp scallops chicken sauces all tasted the same with same seasoning.. no dessert and manager did take mushrooms off our bill. Disappointed this trip to outback !! read more

So for the second time we ordered the Ribeye, and it was remade both times for a total of 4 steaks they wasted. The rest of the food looked decent but why bother with a steakhouse that fails at preparing steaks. the server was nice and very understanding. The manager didn't even offer to remove it from the bill after being sent back twice. If you feel brave enough to risk a raw or leathery steak this is your place... I'll be going elsewhere. Tables were clean. read more
