A friend and I went to Outback Steak House in Shelton, Connecticut late afternoon today. We had the absolute pleasure of having Roberta as our server. Roberta was prompt, courteous and an outstanding server. I truly believe in all my years (and I'm no spring chicken) she provided me the best service I've ever had. Thank you Roberta you are an asset to Outback and they are lucky to have you. Keep that beautiful smile. Also I'm visiting from Florida and never get this type of service there. read more

The steak we ordered was awesome, but the full rack of ribs were like a half rack. As you can see in the picture, more like a half rack. This was 40$ with a side salad and rice. Total rip off for $40 read more

Outback Steakhouse - Ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

The inside of this place is nice but other than that, it left much to be desired. Our server was nice enough but extremely slow and forgetful. Our steaks were so over seasoned with pepper our mouths and lips were burning which was very disappointing because the steak itself was cooked well and it was a decent size and cut of meat. The fries were mediocre and a small portion. My friend said her mashed potatoes were bland. Mac and cheese bites had an off taste, we didn't eat but a couple of them. The coconut shrimp however was pretty good, big shrimp, nice and crispy with a good dipping sauce. The French onion soup was also tasty. If it wasn't for these two things I'd give one star. Probably won't be returning any time soon. read more

Steaks are always tender, juicy, flavorful. Wait staff always friendly , polite, and helpful with your order, very professional. Atmosphere is always family, a little noisy, , it's Outback. Our family, my wife, my two daughters and myself always enjoy our meal. Also, the drinks are never too weak.. Mike M. read more

There aren't many restaurants where bar clientele feels comfortable shouting "Nigger" at others. There aren't many restaurants where management allows clientele to stay at the bar after shouting "Nigger". Since this wasn't a clear case of inappropriate behavior resulting in Management taking control and asking the offending party being to leave, I'll take responsibility for not returning. read more

Stop in at Outback this past Monday. Just want to say Thank You Outback. Everything was great. our soups were very good. My wife had the French Onion which was very tasty, I had the Baked Potato soup always good. Our steaks were perfect. Service was prompt and friendly, we didn't have to wait for anything. Drinks were very good. Coffee was freshly made. Thanks to all the staff at Outback, Marsh Hill Rd. made our evening very pleasant. read more

Dirty. Everything was dirty. Our seats, table, cups, plates and napkins. Everything was dirty. The little saucers they gave us had globs of food left on them. Water glass had stuff floating in them. We didn't realize all of this was happening because we shared our discomfort to each other after we headed to our car. Waitress did a fine job. That's why this place had two stars. Food was ok, but whoever keeps the place "clean" needs to be replaced. read more

Food was terrible steak was all fat. Ribeye paper thin. Well not go there anymore. Well go to Texas Road House.

The asparagus was grey and wilted. The brussel sprouts with garlic and peppers were sweet but yummy, although I don't think the jalapeños really works for that dish . The service was good ! read more

Food is good when eating in, but to order out, never seems to be made right. Last meal had bloomin onion that was literally sitting in grease, steaks were severely overcooked (we ordered Med rare but they were sooo well done that we couldn't cut through them. Understand they will cook a bit longer after removal and can be tricky with pickup but we got there early and we're only 8min from home ‍). Won't order takeout again but sitting in was pretty good. read more

Came in today and Melissa was our server and she was excellent! Very attentive and super sweet!

It's OK getting a little pricey for a chain. Staff is friendly and helpful. Steaks are OK but not outstanding.

While the food tasted good and was exactly how we ordered (order online to go) it was pretty small in comparison to the price we paid. Husband got the full rack of ribs and comparing to other restaurants who have the same menu type, Outback's "full" rack is more like a half rack and a couple extra ribs. Disappointing for the price. I got the Alice Spring Chicken and it was delicious but the chicken piece was again pretty small. Curb side to go was perfect! Parked and my food was ready as soon as I got there. read more

This place had slid way downhill since its opening years back. Terrible service: slow, inattentive, incompetent. It's like you have to remind your waiter (if they come around) for everything more than once... Food is relatively the same as it was so that's the saving grace... Also, it's pretty dirty in there. Seems like they've given up or if it's under new management, trying to cut corners on expenses. Will not go back. read more

Great experience at this delicious steakhouse!!! Thanks to Katie whom we wanted to take with us to the beach and Tony who's hospitality and charm blew us away! My girls personally wanted to create their own Yelp to review him, but did so on their very own kids menu (drawing 5 stars across the sheets)! It was a pleasure coming across such positivity after so much going on in the world. Thank you!! read more

Went here on date night with my husband and we loved it. We had the Shrimp on the barbie as the appetizer, it brings two shrimp skewers, tomatoes and four pieces of bread. It was delicious. My husband ordered the bacon salmon with a loaded baked potato, it was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. I ordered the steamed lobster with center cut steak, which were also delicious and cooked just like I ordered it. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

The waitress did her best, but the whole experience was just horrible. Given, it was Father's Day ... a busy time for any restaurant. First, they don't have any good beer ... I ordered a small glass of an IPA I wasn't too sure of, and the bar gave me a full pint, so I had to send it back and wait a long time for them to bring me the ordinary brand I had to settle for. My daughter and I then ordered a couple of steaks - we asked for medium - and when they came out only the edges could be called medium - they were literally raw in the middle. We both sent them back and they were still medium rare when we saw them again. We shrugged our shoulders and at them anyway. You can pretty much tell the kitchen really didn't care what they were putting out - it took them less than 10 mins to "cook" the steaks - the baked potatoes were cold - the salads were not much more than a pile of lettuce. Now I remember why I stopped going to Outback years ago ... unfortunately the wait at Texas Roadhouse (5 mins away) was 2hr+ .... read more

Absolutely our last time here. Let me count the reasons why; 1) no cherries on my wife's Shirley Temple drinks. 2) The unbelievable wait for our waiter to take care of us several times, from initial drink order, to refills to getting the check. 3) ordered a ribeye steak, but I'm suspicious that what I got was a center cut sirloin instead. 4) the usually amazing steakhouse Mac n cheese I got was horribly prepared with the bread crumbs seemingly added after cooking which ended up tasting like sand. 5) and this was the biggest issue, after completing our order I attempted to hand over our 'Diner Reward' card to our waiter, who said it would be easier to just give it to him later on with the check. With this card, every 4th visit you get 50% off up to $20. What he didn't bother to tell us was that this deal didn't work with the special my wife ordered, thus we ordered more expensive things than usual. When it came time (finally) to pay, he advised us not to use the card because the 4th meal wouldn't work and it had happened several times at the restaurant that day. I understand two deals conflicting and not working, but not mentioning that when he knew our order and that we were trying to use that deal was a sleezy move. We felt duped. The service was terrible, the food was sub par and questionable and the sneaky tactics to get us spending more has finally broken the camels back. This is our absolute final visit and I'm glad to support other steakhouses in the area from now on. read more

Affordable. Service was great. The good came in right after I finished the appetizer. I ordered a new item on the menu which was the steakhouse Philly. It was delicious and was just the right size sandwich. The clam chowder is one of the best clam chowder ive ever had. It had a little bit of a kick to it which I love. I would come again with the family. read more

I came with 3 other people and the food wasn't that great at "Outback Steak," and the prices are way to high compared to other places, like Texas Roadhouse! The atmosphere isn't that great and they give small amounts of food. We had to wait about 20 minutes then another 20 to 25 min for the food at Outback Steak! The waiter kept running around to other tables the whole time at Outback Steak! Outback Steak gets a thumbs down in our personal experience! TEXAS ROADHOUSE is definitely way better, and way more reasonable! The food, prices, service, atmosphere is always great at the Danbury Texas Roadhouse. For 9.99 Mon - Friday you can get a steak with your choice of any 2 sides and they are awesome sides. The smothered chicken with mushrooms, an onions for 9.99 with 2 sides, really kicksass! The Chilli kicks ass, and you can get a whole bowl of chilli as a side for only a buck extra....its definitely a no brainer. We paid less then half the price at Texas Roadhouse and way more food too! If you do the math and get the 9.99 meals with the 2 sides for 4 people, that's under 40 bucks but of course everyone wanted a drink so add another 20 bucks, and a 10 or 12 dollar tip. I think 70 bucks for all 4 people is a great price. The food is always amazing too! Other Texas Roadhouse places are not as good as the Danbury Ct one. The owner said each Texas Roadhouse has different management, which makes sense. I highly recommend this place! read more

I order Outback Steakhouse from the ubereats app, my gf revived her ribeye steak but she stated it was very fatty, her butter cake was hard with very little flavor but the strawberries was delicious. Her mac & cheese was spicy but bland. I wish i could comment about my filet Mignon and lobster but there wasn't in the bag and I called the store and was past by 3 employees until the store manager got in the phone. Ubereats refunded my missing steak but outback did nothing. Order or come at your own risk read more

Always been a fan of the food at Outback Steakhouse. Never had a bad experience and I usually get the salmon. We also typically visit the North Haven branch, being that I'm originally from Wallingford. However, we hadn't gone in awhile and I've since moved to West Haven, so checked out this branch. Still great food and great service. Only difference is I felt the inside was nicer and it looked bigger at the Orange location. Felt more inviting and friendly. We still got the same food as usual and still was great. read more

Great time, great food, attentive employees, all pitching in for each other, teamwork at its best. Hot food on time, great prices, clean silverware and beer mugs wete refreshing. Most restaurants have lipstick on them. Manager does a great job showing her presence throughout the dining room making stops here and there, Gina is a very good leader and it shows in the way the restaurant is run. Thanks Gina and team. read more

Food is always hit or miss with Outback. The steak is always blah tasting, maybe they need new charcoals because the steak never has any flavor except the gross signature Outback seasoning which is the same flavor found on all their dishes. And portion sizes always vary. One day you could get a nice sized salad and the next time it barely has any lettuce in it. We need a better steakhouse in our area! read more

Ordered an Outback Burger - totally greasy, little to no flavor, highly disappointing. All the more a problem as I specifically went out to have a decent burger. I wasted my time and should have gone to Burger King or McDonald's. read more

We were in orange, CT and get this nice pop up for dinner at outback "avoid the line", get on the wait list. Two things this is not a reservation and outback, great way to lose people. Don't advertise on yelp pretending to help people when you can't handle wait list. For starters the parking lot is awful as the hotel over flows there. So the. You get inside and everyone in front of you takes priority. So imagine showing up with party of five to a restaurant dusty under construction with no parking lot and poor service, lack of areas to wait, welcome to the orange outback. Never experienced service so bad nor with a wait list a 35 min wait. Ridiculous go to plan b or anywhere else in orange CT. My worst rating and seriously outback, remove this place from wait list. Absolutely awful read more

The filet minion was nOT a real filet!!!! Meat was "tough" and came from a different "steak" Part of the carcus!!!! The house salad was new for me Not for a new salad dressing! The menu is Wrong. For Filet! read more

I went to this Outback location for my birthday recently and I was very pleased. The service was fast, the food was amazing, and the staff were friendly. Our server RJ was a great guy and was very attentive to our needs. I got the chance to chat with the manager Oscar, who was very cordial and I could tell that he cared about our experience. This place is a well oiled machine under his watch and on top of that he, RJ, and the rest of the staff did a great job of making us feel welcome. I will definitely be returning. read more

Stopped in for dinner while fighting Friday night traffic on Rte 95 heading into Manhattan. We saw the sign on the road and decided to give up with the bumper to bumper and have some dinner. The Outback by our home is not very good any more - poor service, meal just so-so, so we did not have high expectations. We were surprised - probably one of the best meals we have had an Outback. Server was very attentive, almost too attentive (Tony?) checking in on us, offering choices and mentioning the new spices/seasoning used on their food. Son desperate for a blooming onion - which was very nice - usually undercooked and onion a bit raw, this Outback made it perfect. My 11 yr old had a nice plain Outback burger, a caesar salad - he enjoyed them all. I had a pork chop porterhouse - which was a large pork chop, some broccoli and mashed potatoes - chop was cooked fine, would have liked a little more fat on it for flavoring, but it was not overly dry. Wife had a petite steak, baked potato. All the entrees and sides were done right, hot, staff attentive and the place was full, so they did a great job. Definitely will try to stop here again in the future, rather than fight Rte 95 traffic on a Friday night. read more

I would like to note that after this experience, I was reached out to by both the manager and the assistant manager of the store within 48 hours. I explained what happened again and both were very quick to apologize and to express their disappointment with their staff. The manager sent us a bunch of Outback gift cards to come back in and try them again. At my request, I invited the family we went with back out with us because the gift cards would easily cover their food costs. We went out and thankfully got a waitress who was kind and patient with our three kids. The food, overall, was still a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if they rush their steaks or if it's only the smaller cuts - but my steak, AGAIN, had a grey layer over both the top and bottom and tasted mealy. I'm not expecting the finest cut steak from this place, but I would settled for just edible. The waitress had no issue taking the steak off our bill because she saw I only ate two bites, but ate everything else on the plate (even my dinner mates couldn't figure out why my steak looked the way it did when theirs were all fine). Everyone else seemed content with what they had and the kids were well attended to (though the fresh fruit still needs some work.) I have since gone back to Outback, but no longer order the small steak, but instead opt for salads and other fixings. The wait staff hasn't been an issue since, but this is far from the top of places I consider when going out - let alone for a steak. Hopefully your experience won't be as much of a hit and miss situation like mine, but it does seem they're putting a greater focus on wait staff. The girl I had last time was beyond fantastic, had a great personality, and was super quick to get drinks, refills, boxes, and our check without having to be asked. As the 3 star review states - this place is "A-OK." read more

Yikes where do I start. The food is overpriced for very little. My steak wasn't cooked right and finally the manager came out to drop my plate off and said I'm sorry. No personality and you can tell the staff doesn't are. The atmosphere is more like a cafeteria than an outback. Better off going to Texas Road house you get a lot more for your money and the food, atmosphere and staff are always amazing read more

It's always freezing in the bar area. To the point that I couldn't wait to leave and warm up. This is not a one-time issue. Whenever I go in I have to wear layers - mostly in the spring,summer and fall. The a/c is on for the employees not the customers. read more

First, none of us had been to this Outback in a long time. On first entry, we found the interior nicer than others. The waitress took a bit of time to come over, despite their being a whole group of waitstaff clearly standing around the entrance to the kitchen. The appetizer arrived quickly, but the meal took a long time to arrive & the steaks were not cooked as we'd asked. We overheard a couple of the waitstaff talking about a particular dish on the menu & saying "You put it in such-and-such dish this time?" I thought nothing of it, but a few moments later some of the waitstaff began making dirty comments. One of them used the word 'cum'. That disgusted all of us at the table. We won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

Would have rated it higher but the service really lacked. Michael T was my server but I had to flag the waitress to get him after waiting 15 minutes for anybody. Food was prompt after I finally ordered and brought out by a female server. My waiter checked on my once about halfway through but then came the long wait again for about twenty minutes after I was done for him to show up again. The waiter at the tables next to me was very attentive and conversational with his clients. Michael was robotic and made me wait. Too bad. I like the food every time I go to any Outback but this guy ruined the experience. read more

I haven't been to Outback in a while so I was a bit apprehensive but I ended up ordering the Volcano Shrimp and I am in love! The were very tasty with a little kick but not too spicy and the green onions adds a nice touch! read more

Really only came here because they have those cool little beeper thingies that let you know when your table's ready.. Spent the next hour or so sullenly nibbling on the free bread, nursing a Sam Adams and completely ignoring the people I sat with while I tried to figure out a way to steal one of the afore-mentioned beeper thingies. After much consideration, decided it can't be done. read more
