Food tasted very good, albeit my steak was a touch over, but I don't mind things like that. Service was very quick, so quick I couldn't finish my appetizer before my main course was out. Ambience wise, its a steak house, if you have been in a steak house you know the ambience. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Three cheese spinach dip - Steakhouses Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

See all

First off, the night manager was rude to our waitress. Raising his voice at her. Telling her what we wanted was not possible. (This was a night they also were out of steaks) yes... outback STEAKHOUSE was out of steaks. God forbid they compensate by letting us switch the soups in the unlimited soups instead of making us just get the same one each time. I cannot fathom the amount of times we have gotten take out with no butter for the bread. It's one of the small things that is just absolutely irritating when it happens everytime. read more

Where do I even begin with this total dump? We waited an hour and a half for our food. The place had like fucking 20 people including the staff. I heard a waiter mumble they were short staffed while she was scrolling on TikTok. The bathroom? Poop smeared on the walls. The floors were slicker than an oil spill. My buddy slipped halfway to the table and almost went to the hospital. The staff didn't even flinch, just kept not having a care in the world. The bartender was in another dimension. Ordered one beer. Got one warm one and a blank stare. Finally, the food: * Bloomin' Onion: Charcoal acting like an appetizer fried in motor oil. * Steaks: Ordered medium-perfect cook. Tasted like a hogs ass. Actually more bland. Had no flavor at all and was swimming in a puddle of what can only be described as sewage. Inedible. * Caesar Salad: Tasted like it was dressed in fish sauce from a Wuhan wet market. I gagged. $130 later we bolted. The best part of the night was leaving. The parking lot air smelled like freedom. Avoid this Outback like it owes you money. Go to Roadhouse, cook at home, or just eat a pile of garbage behind literally any other restaurant. Anything's better than this hellhole. read more

The service was terrible. People around us got their food after coming in much after us and were done eating and we didn't have our steaks 20 minutes after the salad! Manager was a total jerk rude screaming freak! My poor disabled husband was so tired of waiting he went to the car and our food still wasn't there. I told the waitress he was gone and it should all be boxed up and given to us for free. She said she would. It instead went back and cried to the manager that came out being rude and saying we made his waitress cry. Told us to never come back as if I ever would. We went to give them a second chance after the last bad time. Wouldn't go back there for anything. read more

Professional and efficient wait staff. Always well taken care of with great staff and food

Food and Service was great. Our server, Logan, was especially accommodating and helpful.

We have been to this outback for many years. Tonight my husbandI, daughter and I went for dinner. The service was prompt, our server was Logan Wyatt. He was amazing. We didn't have to wait for any of our food or drinks! Everything we ordered was correct and made the way we asked! He was so helpful and willing to serve with a smile always! This experience changed our opinion on this restaurant for sure! we will visit more often and hope to have Logan again! read more

I wasn't expecting much due to the inconsistent reviews, but we had a great meal tonight at Outback! It was pretty slow so that surely helped, but overall I will be back. The coconut shrimp was flavored well, along with the sirloin with chimichurri! Our server, Lucy was friendly and helpful. Hopefully the food and service continues to be this great! I will say, for two of us we spent $75 before tip, so keep in mind it is not cheap. read more

Zero stars went in at 515 was told wait was 55 minutes. Got text saying we was on waitlist at 526 We had tickets for play at 730 and waited until then to leave. Got text at 846 our table was ready. Three and a half hours really. I called and spoke to the manager who could not have been more rude to me stated there was a lot of call a heads and that's just what happens. Again really 3.5 hours. Very rude. We waisted two hours then never even got to have dinner and received no apology. When I said after she was rude I wouldn't be back the manager replied ok that's ok. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a busy Friday night. If you want to eat here on Friday or Saturday I would recommend getting here at 5:30 or earlier the restaurant fills up fast. The last time we tried to eat here we got here later and it was a 3 hour wait. Today we ate right in the bar area. The menu has some changes. The blooming onion is cheaper, but there is only the full onion. We ordered one for our appetizer. This is what the Outback is known for. The sauce is great with this. The onion was perfect as they use a sweet onion so it tastes great. The onion didn't bloom enough though and there was some raw breading in the center but I just ate the outside of my part of the onion. They had a new salmon item on the menu that sounded good. It was salmon with shrimp cooked in a Cajun butter sauce. It was very tasty as well but also quite rich. That with the onion and the oil really will fill you up. I knew the French onion soup here is also phenomenal. It did not disappoint. Finally I added creamed spinach. This item came out after our entrees as they said no lt many people order that side. I really liked the creamed spinach it was homemade and quite good. I enjoyed my meal but we did have to wait quite some time from the appetizer to the main course and for a while my drink needed a refill. Our waiter tried reall hard and did a good job of getting what we needed. The bar is probably more challenging as there are many tables in there and I am not sure how many of the wait staff were assigned. Note this was a Friday and the place was at 100% capacity so I can understand the longer time to get food in this case. My dad loves this place so we will definitely be back. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Salmon and shrimp in Cajun sauce - Steakhouses Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

This place is always okay and over priced but I love their garlic butter steak so I splurge every once in a while. Our visit today was terrible and we won't be coming back. My girlfriend ordered a medium rare steak and it came half medium rare/half well done. Our shrimp came on top of stale/burnt bread. When I told the waitress my lodes potatoes weren't loaded she just brought me cheese and sour cream (no bacon) and made me load them myself. The waitress was overall very rude and never came to check on us.. The guy who brought out our food made a point to tell us he was "dead inside" Won't be coming back again.. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Stale and burnt bread that was served to us - Steakhouses Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

"I decided to give Outback another try after avoiding it for years due to some awful food experiences. We ordered through Grubhub since my wife wasn't feeling well and I was busy. Unfortunately, we did not receive three of our sides, including two we paid extra for. My daughter and I both got chicken fingers, but they were so heavily peppered that my daughter couldn't eat hers. The chicken fingers were disappointing, though my wife's Alice Springs Chicken was good. However, she would have enjoyed it more if she had received the mashed potatoes she ordered with it. It will be years before I consider spending another dime at this overpriced and mediocre restaurant." *update they did refund some of our money for missing sides. I still will not waste another dime here. read more

Haley was a great server! Over all food was good. The ribs however, total thumbs down. Very tough and hard to eat. Son's steak wasn't fully cooked per his request. read more

Awesome! Used to go to Outback in the early 1990s as my go-to place for a nice dinner out, and haven't visited since the early 2000s. I forgot how yummy the bloomin' onion was. We had great steaks and salads today and we will be back! Service was friendly and attended to all our needs. Thank you Muncie! read more

My favorite thing to get from Outback as an easy dinner is an order of cheesy fries, extra bacon. I'm not the biggest fan of cheese (I'm also lactose intolerant) and the bacon helps a lot in masking the cheesy flavor. In the past two weeks I've ordered delivery once from Door Dash and once from GrubHub, both times with extra bacon (that I pay extra for). Both times came without bacon. First order was too late for me to have them remake it, as they were close to closing. The second time (today) I called the store asking if they could remake my order, they said they would let the kitchen know. I drove 15 minutes there (with my broken car, which is why I do delivery) and they hadn't started remaking it, and nobody seems to know about me calling. So, I waited almost 30 minutes there, but I did find out that the takeout workers are the ones that put the extra toppings on the order once it's cooked by the kitchen. One of the kitchen managers talked to me, letting me know the takeout employee is new and probably doesn't know it's her job to add toppings. After waiting and waiting, the kitchen manager directly brings me the order, stating she added extra bacon AND extra cheese. Fast forward, there is an absolute insane amount of cheese, to where it's hard to even grab a fry. I understand I sound very picky, but I have a lot of issues with eating and food in general, and I'm disappointed that I couldn't just get what I originally ordered, and have ordered so, so many times from Outback. They've really dropped the ball for me lately. read more

Went to Muncie location yesterday. Service was good, they were not busy at all for a Sunday, but the food was not very good. The asparagus was large and tough, with the stringy fiber pieces. The bloomin onion was full of grease. The sirloin was tough. Our service was good, however. read more

Employees are great. Never had a bad experience in the restaurant. Just know that you will NOT receive toppings for anything you order "loaded". It just won't be there. No butter, no sour cream, nothing. If you order (and pay for) toppings online to pick up or be delivered they will NOT be provided. It's just a fact. read more

The food we ordered was super delicious and came out very hot and fresh. Our server Evelyn was amazing! She brought out extra food and extra drinks for us at no cost. She had great recommendations as well and was a delight to interact with. She was hilarious and made our time 10x better. Couldn't of gotten a better server! ​ read more

Toughest steak I have had in years! This was my first visit to the Muncie Outback. The steak was way to tough and I would have gotten another, but the only time the waiter (Lucas) came to our table was when ordering, and when he quickly laid the bill on the table and ran off! 2 other people brought out steaks and drinks. The waiter, I think, (Luke) never came back to our table to ask how our steaks were or if we needed anything (missed out on 3 more drinks). After refusing the steak, he did offer no charge, but the Manager (Joey) never came over to apologize or offer an excuse for poor service. (?) When I called back to ask for a Manager, I was asked why and when I , again , said I wanted to speak to a manager, I was told I could not without a reason and I was hung up on and had to call back! The manager (Joey) answered the second time I called and after explanation, blamed Lucas for not telling her and when I mentioned it was her fault for poor training, she hung up on me! Now I know why Lucas was a poor waiter! POOR SERVICE TRICKLES DOWN FROM MANAGEMENT!!! read more

We tried to go to Amazing Joes but their yes was actually no. So we called outback and they welcomed our party of ten with open arms! Glad to have our business. Our service and food was exceptional. We had a great time celebrating birthdays. I would definitely recommend! read more

I've never done a review for any restaurant but today seem like the time to do it. Came in with my family to have lunch with our gma. We got set at a round table in the front of the restaurant. The girl needs some serious help. We came to the conclusion that we was going to leave due to her personal hygiene. I do not play about someone handling my food that is dirty looking and smells bad. I hated this so much because we love Outback. Another lady tried to stop us by asking if there was anything she could do and we declined. We expressed gratitude to the lady that came outside to talk to us. We will definitely be back soon though. We hope the lady gets some help with her problems as you never know what someone is going through. Please do something about this. I have to wonder how many customers they've lost due to this issue. read more

Service was good, but food wasn't very good. Spent $90 something and the best part was the free bread.

I called in a take out order on the way to visit mom in Muncie. I ordered two 10oz rib eyes, baked potatoes with the fixings, and two side salads. I also ordered a bacon cheese burger with fries. When I arrived 15 minutes later my order was ready to go. Everything was great! The steaks were cooked to order - a perfect med-rare. The potatoes were huge, with chunky sea salt and little cups of butter, sour cream etc on the side. And, the salads were crispy. It made for a perfect lunch with enough left over for dinner. read more

Our weitress this evening was Alyssa! She was prompt! Good energy! Knowledge on all items on menu! Very good service! Very on top of things including making sure food was how we ordered it! Fantastic weitress ,great customer service! read more

well let's say they threw enough seasoning on our steaks for probably 4-5 more, couldn't even taste the steak itself, Mac and cheese was awful, the mushrooms and onions for steak taste like they where drowned in gravey, only thing was good was our cheese fries and salad, the waitress was nice and did a good job I still took care of her tip, read more

Horrible food. Potatoes was cold. Steak not cooked rite. Service was horrible. Receipt said Jessica she never told us her name. The smell was horrible. We are not one to judge however she did not look very clean. You must look clean to work with customers in food. The rest of the workers we seen seemed nice and clean though. Came to town from Indianapolis to move our daughter in for school. We will be in town plenty and was hoping to love this outback as we do ours back home but unfortunately this time did not do it. Maybe next time maybe not. Hopefully it will be better. I hate to leave bad reviews I have to be honest bout it! read more

We came in on a Friday night & it was not busy at all. We sat rather quickly at a booth in the dining room. Our server was Jessica and she got our drinks in but we never saw her again. We waited over 10 minutes and decided it was best to leave. We have always had great experiences here. I have not had Yelp for very long as I have always used Google so therefore I decided to put my most recent experience on here as I see it fit for management to know what happened. No I did not want to talk to management while I was there as it was dinner time and we were hungry. We went down the road to Texas Roadhouse. We may or may not be back as we cannot judge the whole restaurant off of one experience. The person who sat us was really nice. read more

To start off with, we love Outback Steakhouse. However, we rarely get to eat here due to my husband working away and myself having to stay home with our young kids. The food was amazing let me start off with this. However, the server was not much so. We had requested to sit outside because our children see another customer sitting out there with her children and it was a nice afternoon out. We was told by Jessica (our server) that we could not be waited on outside due to no server being outside. My biggest question is, if there is no server out there for the outside tables, how come there was a table out there eating and how come you all have tables out there? Our server was not waiting on the guest outside but there was another server out there. This does not make any sense to me at all. They were not busy when we got there so I am not understanding the reasoning of why we could not sit outside. I'm very sorry. We just ate and left. If it had been up to me, we wouldn't have ate there that day. However, my husband was in town for only a certain amount of time. Another issue is, our server has some issues that needs to be addressed. Her hair is nasty and plus we could smell her body odor! She had mucus running down her nose as she was at our table and I must say, it was not just normal allergy mucus. It had color to it. She was not very nice at all and the only way we knew her name was it being on the receipt. I am not one to complain but the whole experience in general was horrible. Please get this lady's hygiene in control before you all loose more customers or someone calls the health department on you all. I should not be able to smell her body odor or see her drugs coming out of her nose. Thank you. Everyone else we encountered at the restaurant was very nice! Do better Outback! read more

We were treated very well here after about a ten minute wait, although we called ahead for seating and it wasn't recorded, apparently. It was a busy Friday night and like everywhere, they were a little short of help, so it was a little while before being greeted at our bar table and ordering drinks and app. Everything came out from the kitchen in good order, but my husband's steak was more med-rare than med-well. We weren't going to complain, but a new manager came over and after chatting cordially, we confessed a couple things were off. She was so gracious, and insisted on preparing another steak for him to take home. She gave him a full meal to go, along with bread and butter that we were missing at dinner. All was well that ends well! read more

Waiter Ryan H. I'm getting older so it doesn't take as much to fill me up anymore. The small sirloin is just about right. I also had the Caesar Salad and baked sweet potato. We did call ahead seating, so essentially no wait at all. Our waiter was Ryan H. He was Johnny-on-the-spot for us tonight. Very attentive and kept the drinks full and the bread never empty. Even made us some tartar sauce when my son ordered the Tilapia/crab special. (I know, I know--ordering fish in a steak house! You try to raise them right, and still things like this happen) read more

Management (Jen) is very understanding and friendly but due to our server aislyn m we will not be returning. We waited 40 minutes for our food and my steak came out burnt/wrong and my S/O came out wrong as well. And took another 20 minutes for our remakes all while our server was chit chatting at the bar read more

Ok let me start by saying I am a local and have not been here in about 11 years. I was absolutely impressed with the service ( Nate you rocked tonight ) and the food was On point in all aspects. I had the prime rib and my wife had the salmon and both were amazing. I have been craving a good prime rib for the longest time and finally got it. The French Onion soup was the . I even stopped the manager to tell him how good the service and food was ( remember don't just complain to managers also tell them when things are going great ) So I know this place has had some bad reviews but if things are like this now come on out and enjoy a good evening of great food and friendly service. FYI first time me and the wife have been out ( just us ) in a long time so it was amazing. Thanks Muncie Outback Steakhouse!!! read more

Cory waited on us. Did a good job ! Porterhouse steak was perfect & tender. Wedge salad was disappointing -- lettuce was bitter and too dense.---must have been older as well. Not as sweet as many others I have had here! Wanted to add that if you're over 60 use the AARP discount read more

Spent 95$ for the worst meal I've ever had. Don't order the ribs tough and chewy what meat that was on it. Wasn't worth 29$ a plate. If I decide to ever go back I'll order steak. My husband had a baked potatoes the size of a hardball not happy wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Will take my business elsewhere. Server was good not his fault he had to serve crap. read more

in the last week Came into the restaurant at 6 they were not busy at all ordered a blooming pedal then ordered our food our awesome waiter came to us and said I apologize the blooming pedals are not out yet and told his Manger about it then we got our food and I asked to speak to Manger about where the blooming pedals was and he said he would tell him. Our waiter came back 5 minutes and asked if Manger had come talk to us and we told him no he saI'd he would tell him again and in the mean time the Manger walked by our table at least 5 times and wouldn't look at us another 10 minutes had gone by and our waiter checks with us again and we told him still no Manger our poor waiter looked embarrassed that the Manger had still not spoken with us then another 7 minutes go by then finally the Manger comes to our table and talks to us and we explain the situation to him. He even acknowledge's he knew of the problem but said he was too busy to stop by when i proceeded to explain to him that he walked by our table and not address the issue when he admitted that he had knowledge that we didn't receive our blooming pedals 30 minutes ago he got mad and walked off without finishing the conversation. As manger walks off see him talk to other wait staff as to not help us out as no one would look at us Had to wait another 10 minutes before we received the bill. It's okay that food that gets lost but the fact he admitted he knew of problems and decided not to deal with us. And just walk by til he had no other choice. He is slender built with dark buzzed hair. I asked to speak to someone higher then him and he said he was my only choice no one else after I asked for multiple times wish we could speak to higher up also another table from us had to speak to him cuz of bad service FYI bring flash light to walk down hallway to bathroom it's dark god help u if floor was wet u never be able to see and just bust your but cuz it's so dark back there. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Dark hallway to bathroom bring light - Steakhouses Near Me - Muncie, Indiana

I have to tell you all about the service and beautiful food we consumed at "Outback Steakhouse" In Muncie Indiana. My wife and I have a love of going to "Outback" here in there. We are sort of in love with everything that they make and we never really been disappointed that much by any problem it's come forward Outback is so good about taking care of the clientele. We had a wonderful inspiration to travel to Muncie and check it out, not really thinking about What we would have to eat. Because both of us are cooks we wanted to talk to people who do powder real cheeses and various types of foods. I will do a report about that also and another review. When we finished our business, we were thinking of types of foods that we might have a taste for and we were driving when my wife (the succulent Anna), Spotted the "Outback Steakhouse " and I didn't take much conversation for me to agree! (I do most everything my Anna wants and I recommend every man does the same) When we arrived we parked really close to the front door (which was kind of shocking) and we went in to find a beautiful aroma wafting through the air as well as a smiling faced greeter. We asked for a table chairs and the crew took us immediately to a lovely table away from the noise so, we could have a nice conversation and discuss things, from our trip to Muncie. We love reading menus so we did run our eyes over the menu for quite some time. The server came up and asked if we had a drink in mind? Our special drink order is always a "virgin strawberry daiquiri" when we go to this franchise so we gave that order and told her we would be ready to order when she came back. Now we've had a lot of these strawberry daiquiris! Because, this restaurant is one of our favorites!So, when the waitress returned with our drinks they were so beautifully made, so much they look like the picture! I'm talking about the picture on the commercial or something they were just fabulous and tasted lovely and fresh! So,we gave our orders to her and sipped gently on our daiquiris whilst dreaming that this ambrosia was never enduringly and always available forever! We always have to place the order of the blooming onion and that may seem cliché, but, dog gone it, it is delicious! Especially if you tell them not to overcook it a little insider information! It gets you a very fresh and new specially sliced for you dipped for you and cooked like 5 minutes less, giving it a crunch at the tip but the rest is cooked nicely. After that our salads came I always have the wedge of iceberg lettuce you cannot be there anywhere it, anywhere! And we always have the coconut shrimp (fantastic) appetizer then the food is just overwhelming yummy We ask the bread be served with our entree not with the appetizers, (another hint). Everything came in a beautifully and interestingly platting, they served or vegetables on a long rectangle tray so, we had all three of the vegetables to share. Cool! And our main courses of our entrée was served separately and very nicely. Since you know me you know I love prime rib, and that's the thing I always get at this restaurant Franchise . But oh my goodness! It was just sumptuous! And my wife Anna was absolutely overjoyed with her delicious order. She tried the "Alice Springs Chicken". She said she has a new favorite and will order that dish the next time we go there! At the end we were just so stuffed that we couldn't hardly move. So we decided to skip dessert and vowed to never to eat prime rib anywhere else but Outback. The place was clean it was elegant and it was above and beyond fantastic! I highly recommend "Outback Steakhouse's" to anyone wanting a delicious and beautiful meal. So far, in Florida or here in Indiana every Outback Steakhouse has been wonderful and somehow original! By the way, if you go there for lunch. You will be very surprised at what your money will get you! I had the chance to browse their lunch menu on my way out and I was kind of shocked! They do have their own codes by the way cuts we're not used to in this country but they chose them because they're good for Americans! The waitress that took care of those brought us about 6 inches of these newer cuts just to taste were going home so while it was still hot we were in the car, but the pieces have been prepped for us being in route for home she put toothpicks in them we decided to try one each well they were warm and well and behold what flavor and buttery soft texture, don't be afraid to try something new just because you don't see any fat or marbling! This was fantastic and you know what? I'll be glad to go there for lunch and have that as my order. The next time someone says they like to go to outback steakhouse, go! Outback Steakhouse has an app and if you choose to pay with it then you will accrue points! Once you receive three of these points you get a tremendous bonus when you going to eat. read more

Recently we went to Outback for Steak and Lobster and a Bloomin Onion. The food was amazing. The steak cooked just as requested and the Lobster was perfect. We decided to try out Outback again and we are glad that we did. Remember everyone can have an off day and if they do give them another try. The Staff and the Manager really came through. I greatly appreciate their efforts. My wife and I will be a regular customer. read more
