Ordered sweet tea (the drink of the south, but only a few restaurants actually serve it b/c it takes a genius or they are lazy) but got unsweetened tea. Ordered a Mai Tai, it was sweeter than my sweet tea, couldn't finish it, then I was told "its suppose to be sweet"... Oh? Ordered full rack of ribs - it tasted like the kind you buy frozen in a box and microwave up, it was horrible - probably b/c I do attend BBQ contests (Ribfest, Pigjam, Pigfest) annually, and these ribs don't taste anything good. I only ate one rib and boxed it up. I had good steaks before and bad steaks at Outback, I think they are a hit and miss, depending on which one you frequent. read more

Had a reservation for 5 for our family, currently coming up to an HOUR after our reservation time and still no table. Many other families and couples have been seated, and no concern from staff or management. read more

Our server was Charles and he was absolutely amazing. We had a group of 9 and our drinks were never empty, all our food was done correctly, he was very observant throughout the entire hour and half we were there. I wish we could get him at every restaurant! We plan to ask for him every time we go to this location. Thanks again Charles, you were phenomenal!! read more

We showed last Friday night with a 715p call ahead reservation. We arrived shortly after 7p and were informed that due to high volume of TAKE-OUT ORDERS that we would not be seated until 730p or later. Ok fine. But five minutes later we were informed that due to high volume of TAKE OUT orders that they could not even give us an estimated time of when we might be seated. At that point we decided to go to Cody's where we were promptly seated and enjoyed a nice steak. What a shame that the fools running Outback have decided to screw over their walk-in customers( the folks that made them successful) so as to appease the sit-at-home couch surfers. It's amazing how bad some business people are at actually running a business. We will never be going to an Outback ever again. read more

This was the worst Outback experience EVER. First I asked for hot tea. They were out of hot tea. I asked for a steakhouse salad with a medium rare steak. The salad dressing was drenched in sugar. The meat was drenched in salad dressing. I sent it back. The waitress asked if I wanted a different steak on the new salad and I said yes- that the sugar coated one was inedible. The new salad came out with a blue cheese dressing on the side, the way I had requested, but the steak was NOT a new steak!' Not only was it ice cold, but it was soaked in the sweet salad dressing!! I sent it back and had the waitress take it off of our bill. I did not eat dinner tonight and am very unhappy about this horrible experience. I only gave one star because it wasn't possible to give none. read more

This is a newer restaurant and we had excellent service. For a chain, they met our expectations with consistency.

Okay that is it. Please save your money and go else where. We Order the bone in ribeye medium. Came out so rare couldn't cut it. Told server we wanted a new one they took that one back and recooked it. Seriously?????? Told them new means new. They brought out a new cook same crappy steak. On top of that the cook came out and gave us the stare down. Not my fault you can't cook. Well at least the baked potatoes and side where good. 0 for 2 read more

Quality has gone down a lot. Had prime rib this past saturday, and a very fatty piece of meat. At 22.00 for it, very disappointing. I order take out, and maybe they give us less then the best and keep the good stuff for the eat in crowd. Portions are much smaller, prices are higher and I don;t think worth it any more. read more

My wife and I stopped for a drink and appetizer last night. She ordered the shrimp on the barbie and it was delivered with burnt toast. I ordered the crab cakes which were soggy like they had been frozen and they tried to heat them up. Outback used to be one of our favorite places evidently someone has taken their eye off of the ball. At least at this location. Very disappointed. read more

Went there yesterday. Waste of time and money. I ordered the blooming onion with the fries and steak chunks on top. Did I say chunks? I should have said tid bits, and they were few and far between. My friend got a khalua and coffee with cream. Weak coffee, weak drink, and could they afford the miniscule squirt of cream? Colder than hell in there too. We usually bring additional clothes to the place, but it was still bone chilling. $31 for 2 drinks (one was a beer) , fries and onion rings. Run Forrest run! read more

Servers were courteous and friendly . It wasnt their fault the food was nearly flavourless dry and bland. Big dissa pointment. Have to rethink coming back. Caesar salad was the high point of the meal. Of three meals 2 had to be sent back .undercooked . . Football shaped sirloins were unattractive and flavorless read more

We went here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy yet clearly understaffed. We sat in the bar area and the bartender was our server. We only had our drinks refilled once in the hour we spent there and it took a half hour for our soup to come out. I ordered the burger and it was inedible. It was basically raw even though I ordered it medium rare. I expected better from Outback Steakhouse and we will never be visiting this location ever again! read more

Outback Steakhouse - My raw burger that was served to me. Absolutely disgusting. - Steakhouses Near Me - Largo, Florida

Decided to go in today with it raining, though I ride a bike, I really wanted a decent steak, and I had gift cards to spend, so off I went! The boy at the counter looked up and asked how many, and when I said 'just me' he instantly asked if I wanted to sit at the bar. I hemmed and hawed, and looked out at the many open tables in the restaurant; I hate sitting at the bar at restaurants, then he said, "We have booths up there!" and the blonde said as well, "yeah, we have booths!" They have booths, but they were all full, so decided to just leave. Yes, I was by myself, but would still like to be considered a legitimate customer rather than a table taker. read more

The food was okay when asking for refills in a party of 7 they left multiple glasses on table they did not leave much room for any other items to be placed on the table didn't seem very clean had smell of the bathroom Aroma through the restaurant or by our table. read more

Well never seenm too meet any standards of a higher end dining experience. From the slow service to the rushing to get us in an out. ...i'd the service wasn't bad enough our meal took awhile and then came with a hairy burger. Manager tried to make it right. Then the check came. No communication... check was wrong 2nd manager extremely apologetic said we were the lucky ones for the night and things happen. Well 8 inch hair cooked into my burger then poor service ruined a nice night out with my hubby who waited very long for his food.... not the first opps where sorry here. Get it together... read more

Was not happy with my experience here at all on 10/4 with group of my residents from a local assisted living. First, I called twice the day before to make a reservation, the first time I was left on hold for over 6 minutes and the second I finally got through but it was to the to-go server who was very helpful and said we were all set for the next day. We arrived at OB at 11:30am to the hostess telling us that we had no reservations. Secondly, the server just seemed annoyed the entire time and I definitely watched him touch someone's food with his bare hands. Thirdly, instead of doing his due diligence and giving all of our residents, who paid in cash which was about 9 of them, their correct change, he short changed all of them. This was an experience that will definitely not have us come back to Outback for any of our outings again. P.S. your handicap access needs to be reviewed because it is almost non existent. read more

I wish I could put zero stars because of how AWFUL the service was. My boyfriend and I ordered take out (well first, delivery- then got a call after the order was placed that they aren't delivering today, okay whatever, we'll pick it up no problem) after getting there 25 minutes after the order was placed ( just like the young girl on the phone said) she proceeds to help every other car before even taking the signed copy receipt back! Another 25 minutes later and no one has come back to talk to us or tell us why our food is taking so long. Wish I wouldn't have paid for it and just left! read more

This place is a joke. I stopped coming here for a while. I gave it 9 months. Figured that was enough time to address food poison concerns. We have ordered the seared ahi tuna and many different variations of steak and lobster tail. On one occasion we got a lobster tail add on and as we were pulling it out of the shell it burst into goo. Another time we were served ahi tuna that was rainbow in color. Tonight I was served my main course filet before my appetizer which they had to take back because it was basically a sirloin. Then then the Ahi Tuna comes out and it was basically starkist. The pictues attached are of the meal. The first photo is the Ahi Tuna that was served to me after my main course, the second darker pink tuna was the one the manager brought out to me. After asking to box my own food as I had a meeting to get to at 11 pm and had walked in and sat down at 8:50 ish pm and the time was way past 10 pm I had to go. The unedible meal was free, but maybe they should just close shop. I mean I asked for an appetizer and a steak at a steak house. Get it together. The 4th st location has never guven me any issues. read more

Our food was great but our service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Our waitress (Whitney) was phenomenal. She was attentive, caring , and just an overall great server. It's so hard to find good customer service nowadays but she was genuinely awesome. Management - give her a raise!! read more

Although the food here is consistently good, I don't usually like to visit on a weekend. Decided to give it a shot as I was craving some coconut shrimp, and although it was busy, it was definitely worth the wait. There were 5 of us, and no one was disappointed. Steaks all cooked perfectly, as was the seafood. Our server Desirae was the icing on the cake, efficient, funny, and very attentive. Very nice evening. read more

The recent additions to the wood-fired menu attracted me to this chain steak place. Hilariously enough I ate a ton of my man's fire licked steak, and ordered a seafood Aussie-tizer trio. It included seared sushi-grade ahi tuna, coconut shrimp, and a crab avocado dip with a few chips. In all honesty I'm addicted to meats with a fire grilled flavor, so with a chain like this you pretty much always know what to expect at every location with minor variations, and that's cool. I can say I have never seen the seafood trio that I had that night on any other Outback menu, but it was okay, although next time, I'll go for a wood fire grilled burger and keep it simple. I hate that Outback uploads stock photos of their offerings here, just sayin'. I had a seasonal Winter drink that was too sweet and tasted like Kool-aid, but service was good. I don't expect to be amazed by these guys any time soon, and neither should you or you'll be disappointed. read more

If you are here for a blooming onion your in the right place. If you are here for good steak and fast service, move on. It was my first day in Florida on a trip that was a family emergency. My entire family came to this place. All 10 of us. My grandma was dying. Your server did the best he could at 445 to help us. He brought us drinks and appetizers on your patio. He checked on us over and over. Your server did great. However, we kept being told "another 30 min.. another 30 min". Finally after an hour and 15 we got a table. The food took forever to come out. I was pretty sure you were growing the lettuce in your kitchen because my salad took 30 minutes. My sirloin was suppose to be medium rare. It was tough and a good medium to medium well.. but I didn't send it back because it just took to long and I was going on 36 hours no sleep. The bread by the way, it never came. The experience reminded me why millennials have moved away from chain restaurants. Unfortunately, there are better places out there to get a steak. read more

Horrible customer service! Don't bother going to this restaurant! First, there were no people waiting to be seated and the dining room was fairly open, so why did a party of 6 have to wait 15+ mins?! Furthermore, the dude working the seating arrangements didn't greet us nor looked happy to be at work!!! This is why I DO NOT PATRONIZE PG County!!! Not worth my money! The only good thing about this place was our waiter! Thank goodness he had a personality and took care of our order quickly! Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere. And if the manager of Outback is reading this, don't bother responding to me, just brief your staff on customer service!!!! Please and thank you read more

Outback offers great specials. However if you are gluten free there is no dessert offered in your special. And what's with the iceberg lettuce. I appreciate a good salad and will not find one here. read more

I have been to many Outback restaurants and this was by far my worse experience. My family went to celebrate a bunch of birthdays this past Saturday and had a party of 18. When we made our reservation we were assured they could accommodate a group of this size. However when we arrived we realized that they couldn't and the best they could do was pull three tables together and seat the rest of the party at a nearby table. We ended up cramming everyone into the three tables so we could all sit together. The server they assigned us was clearly not accustomed to handling a party of this size and instead of getting someone to help her they just let her struggle through and messing up our orders in the process. Some of our appetizers didn't arrive until just before our meals and that made it difficult to find space on the table. Even more difficult since we had to bus our own dishes out of the way since the poor waitress wasn't quick enough to get them herself. When our meals did come out 5 out of the 10 steaks ordered were over cooked three charred so bad we couldn't eat them. One burger that was ordered well done came out more medium rare than well and had to be sent back. The cake we brought in was the only bright spot of the meal. Although the waitress was subpar we tipped her well because we know she was doing the best she could overall the meal experience sucked and I will NEVER go back to this Outback again!!!! read more

The food at Outback is normally good. Tonight was super busy but the service was great. The waitress Darbi was very attentive and so was the manager on staff. Overall great experience!! read more

Outback is my fall-back restaurant. You know that you're going to get good food, and they are literally everywhere. Plus, this specific location is right around the corner from my house so, we usually go for take-out on nights where cooking isn't an option. The only thing bad is that the parking lot is small, and with this location there is always a wait. Even on Mondays-Thursdays. read more

Not good quality with the food. I got the rib eyes, but it was so salty. I was thinking the cook dropping a whole bottle of salt in my steak. My aunt got the grill chicken as well, it was too dry. And salty again. What the heck? Did they have problem with salt? read more

It's hard for me to give this place two stars. I like the food and there is a good selection of items on the menu for whatever your feeling like. The service. That is where the two stars come into play. I sat at the bar and I guess there were regulars or friends of the bartender there too. It took about five minutes to get a drink and a menus. Knowing what I wanted I just placed my order. My drink went empty and the bread I asked for never came. After about fifteen minutes I asked the status of my salad and was told they were working on it. Normally I would have gotten up and left but I was hungry and had my mind set in a steak. Food came and it was good (usually is), But the service is just sub par. I hope they make some changes. read more

This was my first time at the outback and I absolutely loved it. The food was really good, the place itself is very clean and the service was awesome! read more

Been to this location twice now. Both times were horrible. Service is consistently rude and slow. Management needs to have a sit down with their servers and make some tough decisions. If you don't want to be there, don't show up. read more

My husband and I celebrated his birthday at the Outback on East Bay June 5, 2014. He chose two lobster tails with sweet potatoes and I had the large rib eye with bone, wood fire grilled with broccoli as a side. My steak was absolutely delicious! I ordered it medium rare and it was a little more toward medium. Still, one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. The entire evening was very enjoyable. The server was knowledgeable about menu items and very attentive. The interior of the restaurant was very nice and we were seated in a quiet section which made the dinner even more pleasurable. Bonnie R read more

Horrible curbside service!! Young didn't know simple answers to questions and acted like he didn't care about service. I blame the management for his lack of knowledge. And he wanted to charge $1 for extra butter and sour cream. Outback has really gone down hill over the past years. This one really is bad. read more

MMM! I love this place! Both this location as well as the St Pete one are amazing. Sometimes the service is slow, but food is always good. ALWAYS! read more

We wanted to have a nice dinner and watch the AL-OU game. While waiting for our dinner the bartender changed the TV. We asked if they could change the TV we were watching back to our game. The bartender stated the game was on all the others TVs and we could move. That was a joke we had been there for at least 30 minutes watching the game. We asked for the manager. She came over but never did anything. We told them to cancel our meal and we decided to leave. Why would they treat a customer that comes in very often this way. To tell us to move to see a program we had been watching was unacceptable. The food is not bad but it's very important to have great customer service and this place did not have it. I do not plan to come back since the manager had no consideration and did not even apologize for what happened. read more
