I wasn't really sure what I wanted to eat at the moment but decided to stop in. the food was delicious and the service was on point. The manger on duty made sure to stop by to see if we were doing alright and made sure to let us know if we had any problems that she would take care of it right away. overall, a good experience! read more

Our server Shay (spelling?) was OUTSTANDING. She had a party of 12 for a birthday on June 25th and never missed a beat. She kept saying"that's what I'm here for". She made my birthday so special that I'll never forget it. The food was delicious but I've noticed the portions are getting smaller and smaller. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Madison, Alabama

I had the teriyaki steak medallions, delicious! The salad was crisp and very good. In fact as my sides I got two salads, and took one home for later. The waitress was Kristy, she was excellent! I can't wait to go back and try Victoria's Filet! I just hope they have a Happy Hour! Jan M. read more

Textbook. perfect. dinner. Sat at the bar and ordered the Pecan salad, which came out ice cold in about 5 minutes. Chose to go with the parmesan crusted 9oz sirloin with a loaded baked potato. Food arrived about 5-10 minutes after I finished the salad and was piping hot and perfectly cooked. Excellent service! read more

It was a busy night at the Outback Steakhouse which meant a long wait and I hope that our poor experience was the result of this. We ordered three dishes and the calamari starter. Only one of the dishes came as expected - I had a medium rare steak which was fine. The calamari was tough and flavorless but I suppose we should expect that when we live so far from the sea. My daughter had shrimp and steak, with the steak ordered medium rare. The shrimp / garlic butter were great. The steak arrived rare, very rare. My wife ordered the smaller steak, rare. She was presented with a thin piece of meat, at best described is medium and with all that it was grey with no crust. She left about half of it behind. There is something sad about a steakhouse that cannot do a rare steak. In general I would say the service was non-professional. While waiting for a table the serving staff were loudly laughing and joking among themselves. Our server really only spoke with us when he provided the bill. A different server provided the food, ask whether we wanted anything else and then started to walk away before hearing our response. When we did respond it was pretty clear we were interrupting something else that she wanted to do. On the positive side, the system for dealing with the crowd of people was effective. Also, while waiting, a server offered drinks and small snacks. The rest of our experience was at a lower level. I think we'll be driving further for our next steak meal. read more

Unfriendly from the moment you step in the door. The greeters wouldn't look at us even though there was no one waiting to be seated. 1/3 of the tables were empty on a Saturday night and they tried to sit us at the bar. No thanks. We left. They don't care. This place has steadily declined to the point it's permanently off our list. read more

Try the The Victoria's Filet Mignon. It was the best steak I have ever had. Hands down. The waiter was also phenomenal. Going back very soon. read more

Great place for steak and lobster! Management at this location are very nice. My steak has never been overcooked and prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you are given. This location is always pretty busy so be prepared to wait just a little while. read more

Unfortunately Outback failed us with their hands free delivery. There's nothing worse than being ready for the dinner you ordered - to only be let down by an incorrect order. We were missing bread- how does that happen. It was clearly on the ticket and should be an automatic- you get it with every meal. We were missing our Aussie Fries and again - there it was on the ticket. I will say the quality of food was acceptable but I was let down by the missing items. First time delivery customer- last time. read more

Very unprofessional first time there I thought it was gonna be great ! Hostess' just wearing whatever they want leggings and hoodies just not what I expected and food took over an hour , just for the steak to not be cooked properly the wait and the atmosphere is not worth it read more

Enjoyed our meal and had the best server. Jason took great care of us!!

The wait is worth the service especially if you are lucky enough to get Jason as your server. We got the pleasure of meeting Jason and he definitely took care of us. My family tends to drink lots and he was on top of it keeping glasses full throughout the meal. GIVE HIM A RAISE BECAUSE THIS GUY DESERVES IT! Food was good and the wait was not too bad. read more

Completely unhappy with the work ethic of the staff. Out of 6 workers, 1 worker was taking care of the whole curbside alone. The other 5 were vaping and goofing off. Extremely disappointed read more

We drove 30 minutes for my dads birthday dinner. We got seated and 15-20 minutes later no one had been to our table. Every employee that was working there had walked by the table numerous times, including the person assigned to the table. None acknowledged that we still did not have drinks on our table. We had to go get a host to even get any kind of service after which we decided to just leave cause we had already waited long enough to not even be helped by anyone. I would not give my money to a place that treats their customers as if they dont even exist. read more

At one time this was my favorite restaurant but like a lot of places, the quality of food has gotten worse. The service coming out of the kitchen was horribly slow. The waiter was great (Michael An?) but he could not save the kitchen from its incompetence. The general manager needs to spend more time in back than in front. They have a huge problem in the kitchen. We ordered a blooming onion and when it was delivered to the table, it was obviously burned or recooked. Either way it never should have left the kitchen and delivered to the table. I asked it is was fresh and the person delivering the onion to the table said it was - it wasn't. We sent it back. The food took almost 60 minutes from the time we sat down to the time it was on the table. It was 2:30 in the afternoon when we arrived so this was NOT a rush time of day. The orders were mixed up. One entree had both French fries and a loaded baked potato. The other had plain potato when the loaded potato was ordered. We manually distributed the potato to the right meal. Sent the extra plain baked potato was sent back to the kitchen. Hopefully it was not served to another guest. The order of the food coming to the table was all at once. We order two four coarse meals which should have been staged but the first three coarses arrived within two - three minutes of each other and the food was not hot. We paid our bill tipped the waiter and left with the food in to go boxes. I am given the review 2 stars only because of the waiter. The kitchen gets a zero. I will never go back. read more

This is no longer my favorite restaurant. The hostess (short and small girl like 3.5') does not how to be hostess. She brought us to the left hand side booth at the corner and did not tell any staffs, two tables behind us came in half hour later than us got their food first. We sat there cold no drink no food for long time. When the previous manager Chris was there, staffs were well trained. BTW, when we finally got served, one of our appetizers never showed up and drinks were not refilled. There was long line waiting at the front door but there were bunch empty tables. Someone needs to call corporate to bring back the old manager Chris. read more

Dined in last night with my family to celebrate a birthday and the first thing that made me mad was the fact I made a reservation for 6:00 and we arrive at 5:55 and I'm told it's gonna be 30-45 minutes! So I guess they don't care about reservations. What's the point of taking them. We finally got seated at about 6:35ish and it took a few minutes for our server to come by. She was pretty nice. I decided to get a burger since I wasn't all that hungry and after getting sick on lettuce from another place I typically order them plain and it wasn't plain which was t all of a big deal. The burger was a bit undercooked for how I ordered it. One of my family members got the crab cake and that was undercooked as well. I don't see myself coming back here for awhile. read more

My first time to this particular Outback Steakhouse and I was not impressed. The food was real average. I had a salad and the Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla. At least I think it was chicken. There was so little chicken I couldn't even taste it. Although, we did have a good server. My husband had the ribeye steak and said it was probably the worst steak he's had in this town. Don't plan to come back here again. read more

Cutting corners. Having visited Outback many times over the year I wonder what has happened. The blooming onion was trash, the Alice chicken was not what it used to be. The portions smaller and the plates were much smaller than usual. The first sign of a restaurant losing it is when the quality goes out the door.

my waitress Erica was amazing ! our food was excellent and I really enjoyed my dining experience!

Alicia was our server and I've honestly never had a more kind or genuine waitress! Food was great too, but the service was even better!

I ordered the Outbacker Burger and the first one they brought out the bottom bun was rock hard, the second they brought out they put cucumbers on (I even said no pickles) and it was tasteless. read more

So went on line placed ourselves for 5pm on list. Got there 445 told us 25 min wait. If not on list would be 55 minute wait. 6pm they tell us table is ready. Bread was hard. Blooming onion was burnt and greasy. Pasta entree had been sitting for awhile. Do Not order the mashed potatoes they were glue! Waitress was very absent on drink refills. Overall not a pleasant experience at all this is a no go for a place to go. The whitesburg location has our business from now on!!!! read more

If there was an option for zero stars I would give it, but one star will have to do. This Outback is in Huntsville, Al. It was my birthday and I wanted a stress-free meal where I was waited on. Our first choice had been Ishiban's but they had just closed, so we drove over to Outback Steakhouse-which was in the same general area. When we arrived, the greeter was less than pleased to see us. Our waiter sat us down and then left us to our own devices. While we waited a family sat down beside us and our waiter paid full attention to this group, clearly they go there weekly. Our waiter took their drink order, their appetizer order, brought bread to the table, spoke to them. My family, was completely ignored. No one spoke to us, no one took our drink order, no one took our appetizer order or made us feel welcome. Quite the opposite actually. The menu was very limited on what you can order and very expensive, but we were going to look past that for a sit down meal. We waited for fifteen minutes watching everyone else around us be served. After that, the kids were starving and complaining and I was starving and frustrated so we got up and left. I told the manager how disappointed we were and how we were never coming back. read more

#EATSOMEWHEREELSE....my food did not come out the way I ordered it. My crab cakes were extremely dry. My baked potato was not hot and even though I ordered it loaded with extra butter it came with just a little bit of sour cream. read more

we were greeted immediately and taken to our table by the hostess then shortly after greeted by our wonderful waitress Sandy who was kind attentive and very personable. we were also impressed with the waiter Marco who was working the adjacent area. we were so impressed by the service that we will definitely come back and wife would love to have Sandy as our waitress. The food was great we loved it but the service was outstanding. read more

Let me preface this by explaining that I'm not a fan of Outback's food. I find it to be over-processed and under-seasoned with a very limited menu and just not much to offer at all. With that said, I decided to give them this review because of the excellent service that my Mother and I received. I didn't expect much because it was Mother's Day and they had an almost two hour wait. On holidays such as this, I usually give people a break because I know how stressful it can be. To my surprise, they sat us immediately and went above and beyond to make my mother feel special on her day. They were attentive, kept our drinks full, helped us choose food and repeatedly checked to see if we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our meal. I'm so grateful for the hard work that everyone put in on Mother's Day. Thank you so much for making my Mom's day that much more special! read more

Always a great relaxing time with great friendly people. Food is excellent and enjoy everytime i go

Food was good, but i had the feeling that there was spit in my order. Michael one of the assistant managers answered the phone and was one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. He told me he was the only one working take away and was rushing around like a mad man... When arriving he told me that I was meant to wait in my car. I think he needs to find another career if he thinks he can treat customers the way he treated me and the women in my office. Also I would not post this bad review if it was only this one incident, but we've had several issues with Michael. I hope Outback can correct this issue because I do love some Blooming Onion. read more

So...that was disappointing. I had never been to an Outback, so figured I'd give this a shot. I went in for the "lunch combos starting at $6.99" deal. There is one lunch for $6.99, and it was a soup & salad. Whatever. So I ordered the Outback Burger with swiss, mushrooms, and bacon. I proceeded to eat all the bread, plus another half loaf, because my order took 25-30 minutes to bring out. The nice waitress informed me they burned the burger, so they were making a new one. That's fine - things happen. Waiter appeared about 5 minutes later and told me they were going to comp my meal. Very nice of them, I thought. About 5-10 minutes later my burger arrived. If there was any cheese on it, it was barely detectable. I counted two (2) mushrooms - very thinly sliced - and zero bacon. There were also no pickles, as promised. So long story short, I would've given them one star, but the nice wait staff and comped meal got another star outta me. Probably won't go back to Outback anytime soon. read more

I'm a service nut. I tip insanely high when it's good. This was not the case here. We waited forever for someone to even get our drink order. Then our appetizer took forever. When the steaks came after a VERY LONG time my dates steak was on my plate and hers on mine. The service at this chain is usually good, but skip this location read more

Rude customers Talking over everyone in the restaurant with inappropriate conversations and when we asked the manager to ask them to quiet them down his response was to walk away. Customer was talking about a gruesome death and the manager thought it was appropriate read more

Small portions, big price, not worth it with. If I were the mgmnt, I'd get bigger lobsters, bigger steaks. The lobster was 6 small bites, steak maybe 12 bites. It's over-priced, under-sized portions. Service was good, but not great. Nobody spoke in an Australian accent. No men at work music or vegimite spread, sad day at outback. read more

The food here is good and reasonably priced. It is also very consistent each time I have visited. The bread is great and the bloomin onion is one of the biggest and baddest appetizers around (be sure to have at least 2 other people on hand to attempt finishing one). I usually go for the outback special and a side salad with a sweet potato, and that fills me up plenty even with the 6 oz. option. The filet is Also very good, but for the price I would only get it on special occasions. My only real problem with this place is that I was treated very poorly on one occasion by one of the managers. If not for this occasion I would give a 4 star review. I forgot my wallet at home, but asked if I could write a check instead. He said he could take the check, but it wasn't preferable (I obviously know this, I'm not a restaurant newbie). The manager was then incredibly rude and told me to write the check, go home, and come back with cash or a card. UNBELIEVABLE! My bill was between $10-$15 so this was pretty insane for him to even suggest such a thing. If I had a huge bill of $50 or $100 then maybe I could understand. I had also been in to this restaurant many times, but of course nobody there would vouch for me to help the situation. Needless to say, I wrote the check for the exact bill amount with no tip, slapped it down and left. I didn't come back for at least a year due to this. Other than the above debacle, the service is always average in the main seating area to above average in the bar area. read more

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary tonite at Outback on hwy 72 Madison. Our appetizer came out quickly. Our waitress was very attentive. When the manager came by and asked if everything was ok my husband mentioned that it was our anniversary. When we finished our meal we were presented with a trio of carrot cake, brownie a la mode and cheesecake on the house! It was very much appreciated by all of us. Great night and very memorable. read more

Three and a half overall. Service four and a half. They had two hostesses seating the church-thirty crowd on Sunday afternoon, and they were keeping up well. I was impressed with our server, Molly H. She took very good care of us, and was pretty as well. The kitchen runner guy also did an especially good job. The manager didn't visit our table, but he was standing in the lobby as we left, apparently having expedited the seating of a larger party. The wife and I split a 9 oz Sirloin, with deviled-Crab-topped Shrimp, and Loaded Baked Potato. We drank Lemonades. The deviled crab was excellent, if memory serves. The rest of the food was very good, altho somewhat mundane. Our total bill was $25.26. The restaurant is kind of classy. The worst part for me today was the music. Good sound system, but I found every song somewhat annoying. I recognized only one song, and I thought it inappropriate. I give today's music genre a two. read more

Horrible at estimating wait time. Lack adequate accommodations for parties 8 - 10. Employees are hit or miss in terms of friendliness.

Went here after being at Texas Roadhouse and leaving due to lousy service there. Great choice. We were told 20 minute wait. A hostess brought drinks and cookies outside to us while we waited and actually waited only 10 minutes to be seated. The waiter gave us bread right away and brought us our drinks immediately. The food was excellent for all 5 of us in our party. We never had to ask for a refill. The service here was awesome. I don't live out here but for those that do I highly recommend going here. read more

Had a bad experience today picking up food for my coworkers. The guy at take out desk, Michael, really needs to work on customer service, and general additude. He was overall just rude, and acted as if he did not want to serve me, and that because I didn't order over the phone that I was some sort of moron. As someone that has worked customer service, it is not acceptable, and I will not be returning to this outback in the future. read more

The Outback Steakhouse in Madison, AL, offers a variety of food from their menu. I like to go on Wednesday's and weekends. The Wednesday special that I always order has a 6 oz. sirloin steak, fries, and a drink for a very reasonable cost. My favorite thing besides the good food...it's always hot. I cannot stand lukewarm food that is brought to the table. They have excellent waiters; Heidi was our waitress the last time we visited. She did an excellent job and was always refilling our tea glasses and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. You can't go wrong with this restaurant. Give it a try! read more
