My meals have always been enjoyable, the service is good, and the environment is nice! My dining experience gad always been good!

Worst service ever. First I love outback but this location is always so I preparing food. Although I noticed it's never ever really busy and is see no one waiting in line when I come by there. Today I decided to try carry out as it was very light crowd but still it took almost 30 mins just to get wings and carrot cake. One plus the staff are always nice. read more

Alright. So, this review is gonna give you whiplash probably, but stick with me. We came here on a Friday night, with reservations for 6pm. We arrived a smidge early, and got seated immediately. The restaurant was about 50% full at that point, but steady grew to crowded. Our server, Angie (I believe), was awesome. I felt so bad for her because the chef of the night was reeeeeaaaallllly making her job more difficult. We ordered the Alice Spring Chicken, Victoria's Filet and a ribeye. The ASC with broccoli was phenomenal per the eater. Both the ribeye and filet were cooked wrong. The ribeye was too undercooked and the filet was way overcooked. The sweet potatoes that came with them were small, but delicious. The steaks were sent back. Two new steaks came out. The filet was cooked to perfection. The ribeye was so tough, it literally could not be cut through with a steak knife. Even sawing at it failed. It was sent back, a third attempt was not had. Angie had the ribeye removed from the check. The owner / manager stopped by our table (without us requesting it) and apologized and the situation was rectified. She was very friendly. Nearby tables had the same issues with the steaks we did, and throughout our dinner we saw a steady stream of steaks being returned to the kitchen. The salted caramel cookie and the chocolate brownie with ice cream were delicious. The bread provided prior to meals was delicious as always. Ultimately, besides the steak fiasco, the food was delicious and our server was phenomenal. I wouldn't be opposed to eating here again. read more

I am going to give it a three because the manager did try to make it right. The food was good the service sucked. Maybe train the waiters/waitresses better. Our waiter was super nonchalant. Lost our discount coupon. read more

Very slow service . The server never checked on us after we received our meals . Food was just ok very salty .

On the way to Myrtle Beach, stopped for dinner. Food was cooked perfectly, best service we have had in quite some time. Really amazing service. read more

3 out of 4 to go orders have been incorrect. Missing side order, No salad dressing, no bread, no utensils. Never apologetic for the inconvenience!! read more

The service was poor. My significant other fell when we were walking out. And now just to get reimbursed for glasses is an absolute pain. The people are so rude. read more

Thank you Kesha for the excellent service I received last night. My drinks were on point.

Decided to go to Outback for lunch takeout today after 4 days of great Thanksgiving food.. Order a steak because it will be last day of eating dedicate and meat until Xmas week... Shay the takeout person was very nice and knowledgeable... I left and came back and discover my steak was cooked well-done not medium well.. Elise, who was really nice got the manager, William.. I should him the Steak and he agreed and said he will get me a new one and even bigger cut.. Very happy with his understanding and special surprise.. I would recommend and its tucked away in a small shopping center across the street from the courthouse and hospital... Should try it if you love the Blooming Onion.. it's great - read more

The quality of food has deteriorated. I got the Prime Rib Sandwich and it looked like someone threw a couple of rib bones on two pieces of bread. Customer service was friendly and timely, but that's not enough for me to waste my money here again. read more

Poor service, cold food. Ordered the steak and all you can eat shrimp. One order had shrimp, the other order did not. Had to ask several times for the shrimp and had to beg for A-1 for the tough steak. Took a long time for additional shrimp. Had to request more soda several times before it arrived. The host's comments were "we have been backed up for awhile" This was at 2:30 in the afternoon. This place is poorly run. Save your money and go elsewhere. They act like they are doing you a favor. read more

Just left Outback and here are my thoughts. We sat at the bar which had comfy chairs. The bartender Kevin was a nice guy, but the problem started when my hunny ordered the 6oz steak and lobster dinner and they were out of the 6oz. steak. Kevin said he would work something out. I do not roll like that so I asked what does that mean, he walked to the back to see what kind of discount would be offered for the 9oz. fillet. He says that there will not be a discount offered. We asked to speak to the manager and Audrey comes out and offers a 20% discount on our check. We accepted and ordered more than we probably should have. The check comes and its only 20% off the food. There are several upcharges on the food that Kevin said were included. All of this should have been clarified. If you state 20% off your check and not say food only it looks a little suspect, and if you work at the establishment and tell us certain foods are included, we're expecting that as well. We pay and leave, but I am disappointed on the communication aspect on what would have been a pretty good experience. I hate to go anywhere with my defenses up, so I am not sure if I will return. read more

The price was reasonable, the menu was good, and the staff was fantastic. The staff was attentive and friendly, all of our guests complemented them as we'll. They made our meal very special for us. This Outback is defiantly going on our date night list. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Our engagement dinner - Steakhouses Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

The place was clean, took about 3 mins to get a seat, took 10 mins before our server showed up, service was slow,. the bad.. for 25 bucks I got a steak I wouldn't serve my cat, seriously! it was bad, gristle, no flavor, poorly cooked. , my wife's pasta dish was cold, the salad was mediocre, the server was almost non existent, saw them a total of 4x. 1)took our order, 2)dropped off our drinks, 3)asked if everything was ok before we got a bite, 4) had to be flagged down for the check. I finally gave my payment to another server at the next table. wr never got our drinks refilled. Bread and butter were both cold. The volcano shrimp could have been made by a 9 y.o. - just frozen breaded shrimp with very little sauce. The bottle of A1 was watered down. I went home hungry, I wished I had gone to chick fil a. read more

Poorly managed Outback. My husband and I have now had three bad experiences at this location with the service, tonight's experience being by far the worst. Upon arrival we were told by the hostess the wait time was 15-20 minutes. We actually didn't even have to wait the whole 15 minutes. So far so good we thought and that is where anything good ended. We were seated and never talked to for 45 minutes! No one ever said hello or asked us anything. We just sat there. We were giving them the benefit of the doubt with it being a Sunday night and being on the busy side but it was getting a bit ridiculous at that point. My husband and I finally decided then to leave and go somewhere else for the evening. I told the hostesses on our way out that we were leaving and they wanted us to talk to the manager but we just wanted to go and get a meal and have a nice night out. So unless you want to wait for over a half an hour just to be talked to I would say skip it and there is another Outback right up the road in Waldorf that is managed a lot better and has better customer service. read more

My wife and I have been down on Outback Steakhouse for a while now but I was craving some steak and lobster and we had a gift card so we figured to give it a try. Service 5/5 Our waitress was on point, she had the drinks and bread delivered at regular intervals never needing to ask her once for a refill. Not sure how the place is when busy or with other waitresses but out visit was excellent. Food 5/5 I ordered a filet and grilled lobster tail. Then lobster tail had great seasoning and excellent flavor. My filet was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. It was a great steak for a big chain restaurant. My wife ordered just a regular steak and it was cooked exactly how she liked it. We both ordered Cesar salads they came a little light with the dressing but they turned out pleasant. Atmosphere 5/5 It was a great atmosphere not to loud not too quiet we had a great time there. Cleanliness 4/5 It seems we just missed a big crowd because a lot of the tables had plates still on them and weren't cleaned off. Other than that the place was fairly clean. Overall we really enjoyed our time at outback and it has renewed our tastebuds for the restaurant. We will be back! read more

If you can go somewhere else, do it. Outback was our last resort when we found out all our other choices were closed on Mondays. The food was sub par all around. Both steaks were cooked incorrectly according to our order. Mine came out without the sauce that was vital to the dish and the other was over-cooked. The fries were soggy and over salted and the bloomin onion just sucked . Chain restaurants are generally sub par, but this place was especially disappointing. Every tv in the bar (there were 4) was tuned to the same crappy station...what's the point of having 4 tvs is you can't at least have a variety of stuff on? I couldn't even tune out the disappointment in my meal by watching the news. The only good thing during this visit was the attentive waitress. read more

In all my days I've never had anything close to a bad experience at the Outback in La Plata. Managers, assistant managers, servers, hosts, and bussers, have exceeded all my expectations of a chain restaurant like Outback. However, in my eyes, there was a shining star that shouldn't go without recognition...James, the King of Dishwashing. Never, have I seen plates so spotless. Never, have I used silverware so supreme. I can only hope that a talent like that isn't going to waste and that management can see the truly inspiring ability this man is offering. read more

Horrible slow service for a place that was not busy at all. Came here around 2pm and didnt get our bill til almost 3:30. Everything was slow, food sucked, no silverware... i don't really know what else to say. Will not come to this outback again. I've been here years ago and everything was great... not sure what happened. No apologies or anything. read more

I rarely visit Outback but this one has great service and food and other managers and waitresses checked in our table! I recommend them!

This restaurant has amazing food as always but service can be a hit or miss. The host need a little bit more training and most servers are polite. read more

The service was great the server gave us so many recommendations. Are apps came out so fast and there was nothing that could of made our experience better. The manager Katie was so helpful and kind she came by and made us feel at home would definitely recommend read more

Rough tine here. The steaks (2/4) we cooked improperly. The drinks we ordered were mot re-filled once. The managers did apologize and offer a free dessert, discounted meal, and a coupon good for our next visit. I doubt we will use it but it was a good effort. read more

I was less than pleased with my experience last week. However, the owner called me before the night ended and sincerely apologized. The resolution was to speak with the staff and take care of my next order. Tonight I was extremely satisfied with my experience and the food was delicious. I appreciate receiving the call. It made the world of a difference. I'm also thankful for the option of being able to get take-out while we deal with the COVID19 issues. Thanks. read more

So i came to outback today and ordered the salmon with the broccoli well done. Tony my server made sure it came out perfect and the presentation was amazing. Will the manager also stopped by to make sure i had an amazing experience! read more

I can't get enough of this Outback. Every time I come the staff makes me feel like I am family. They are friendly and take the time to get to know me. Management always makes it a point to visit with me and I really appreciate that. I like to order a variety of food from the menu. From the steak to seafood to chicken, it all comes to my table cooked to perfection. My favorite steak is the filet and the kitchen never fails to cook it just the way I like it. Also, the house salads are out of this world. I would like them to bring back sweet potato fries, though. Overall this is my favorite establishment in La Plata. The combination of the friendly and accommodating staff and hot, delicious food make me a frequent guest. read more

Food and service were great! The manager, Brittany, was AMAZING!!! We had a large party, we took up two large tables. The servers stayed on top of us and it was great! We will be back soon:-) read more

Went to LaPlata's location after reading the reviews for the Waldorf location. Had a great experience from start to finish. We were seated almost immediately. I server was the best in the restaurant. Her name is Deb. So if you go there definitely as for her to be your server. Food was great. Had the raspberry ice tea and lemonade mix. We had the Creamy Shrimp Scampi dip. The French Onion soup, full rack of ribs, chicken and shrimp. Deb made the experience so great I had to let her manager, Brittany know. I recommend that she train all new servers. read more

A few nights ago I decided to pick up some dinner after a long day. I thought outback would be a good idea and decided I would do an online order. I placed the order and made it there before my dinner was ready so i sat in the Togo parking spot. I maybe was there less than 3 minutes when I was greeted by a girl name Marina. She had a genuine smile and a great personality. She talked to me about the dine-rewards program while I fished money out of my wallet and even offered me a complimentary coke while I waited for my food. All and all she made me feel welcome and appreciated and I look forward to picking up outback int the future read more

Great lobsters at a standard chain restaurant. CLEAN interior! noticed a new position with outback maybe just here they had bussers, which is not something typically seen with outback, usually relying on the servers to clean and reset their tables while doing other task for sat tables. Came for dinner food was great, manager named Tony, very attentive and intune with the staff, when we came in he was instructing the hostess' how to navigate the seat map, then we noticed he walked and talked to tables throughout their meal. If this isn't hospitality I don't know what is. Would love to continue coming here as long as this manager is working. Id say if you have an issue. compliment, or complaint I would get his attention while you are there. Also this outback does a lot with in the community, just the other night the GM, Nicole, catered my neighborhoods National Night Out event! simply amazing to see great people doing great things read more

The manager Miguel Vasquez was very attentive and kind. He made sure to ask about our visit and how we were enjoying our meal. He made us feel welcomed and that our opinion was important. Overall an excellent experience. read more

Kevin iTaylor is great so we eat at the bar- service is great. The food was perfect too!

Love going to this Outback. Family and I have eaten there numerous times. Great service every time. Staff is always friendly. Food always great. So glad to have it right here in the hometown just 5 mins away. The Blooming Onion is a must have. Just sayin.... read more

It appears I am the first to review this Outback restaurant and it gives me such pleasure to give an establishment 5 stars, and let me tell you why? First, I was greeted coming through the door, in fact, the staff opened the door for my guest & me. Second, I was greeted again and seated immediately...according to my preference and without problem. Next, the server came quickly, greeted us and provided her name with hospitality and a smile! She was also very attentive throughout our dining experience. The food came as quick as you would expect a meal that is prepared upon order. Nothing stale or overlooked about this food! Any issue I did have, was quickly corrected and re-prepared. The manager even stopped by to introduce himself and check on us! Finally, checkout was fast and efficient! No waiting around, looking for someone, needing a last minute addition or help. I love this place so much, I immediately signed up as a frequent diner...because I will be! Thanks for the great experience Outback! read more

Blake was our server tonight and he was awesome!! He was a perfectionist. My family loved him. The manager on duty was also wonderful and checked in on us multiple times. Everything was great. We will be requesting server Blake when we come back. Thanks Blake! read more

I was a bit wary because of some of the reviews. We came in a bit late at night but everything was actually good. Our guy was Zach. He was great and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back. read more

Outback is what it is but if you go, ask for your server to be Alex. He has a butterfly tattoo on his hand. That kid gave fantastic service and was polite. That's not a combination you find very often. read more

La Plata, MD. What can you say other than you feel like youre in a scene from Deliverance. Don't get me wrong, beautiful little town. Made a mistake at work and had to drive up on the weekend to deliver a coffee grinder to Safeway. Pissed bc the grinder tore the upholstery on the door of my car and I was paying for this two hour trip myself I needed some comfort. Outback was it. Of course I got the blooming onion and frankly was full before my sirloin arrived. Had a few Guiness and was still pissed enough to dare any MD trooper to pull me over on my way back to VA. Good meal, good service. read more

Maybe it was just starvation making me more appreciative, but I had a good experience here. My friend and I had spent the day (Saturday) at Kings Dominion, and were on our way back home to Annapolis and starving. Everyplace along the way was closed, and this was the first place we found that was open for business.....and there was NOBODY else in the place, so we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Our server was friendly and had a quick wit, keeping us entertained. The food was good, (although they could have put a LITTLE more bleu cheese on the steak), the beer was cold, and the seats were comfortable. read more
