We have always ben big fans out the outback. For a while my husband and I felt they were going down hill, at all locations. We have now visited this location twice since the reopening from COVID-19. And I have to say , we had the same server/bartender both times and she was very pleasant and super friendly, and All The food turned out great, steaks were cooked perfectly. And you wana know whats ridiculous ? I just read the most recent reviews on this page , both reviewer's gave the restaurant one star, one having to do with the rewards program and the other one is posting a review one year later after visiting the restaurant. That's not really fair to this particular location. read more

Had a 50% off reward earned through the Dine-in Rewards program so a friend and I decided to stop in for a late (3pm) lunch on a Friday. It was respectfully busy for this time of the day but ample seats in the dining room. We were seated right away but it took about 5 or more minutes for our waitress to arrive. She seemed very busy but couldn't be any nicer. She took our drink orders (tap waters for both) as we perused the menu. We came knowing we wanted to try the unlimited shrimp offering and decided to share the 6 Oz. Filet with the unlimited shrimp, sweet potato and side salad and the chicken Barbie, unlimited shrimp with a side of summer vegetables. Bread and butter arrived shortly after our waters and then the side salad. It took about another 15 minutes for our entrees to arrive and it was nice that each order of unlimited shrimp could be split between the two shrimp options: fried and herb garlic butter. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare and very tender as was the chicken breast. The batter on the fried shrimp was seasoned and fairly thickly coated. We prefer a lighter batter. The herb garlic shrimp contained a lot of butter and was heavily seasoned, a bit salty for our taste. The sweet potato and vegetables were excellent. We requested several more casseroles of shrimp to which our waitress was more than happy to serve. With our 50% discount reward, total tab was around $38 including tip which was a great value! read more

The service was great. I got curbside and they were exactly on time. Unfortunately, the food was pitiful. Limp fries, cold steak, and asparagus cooked to soup consistency. Used to be a good place. No more. read more

16 oz. Prime Rib RARE. Simply amazing. Sitting at the bar. Angie taking excellent care of my sister and I. Watching Patriots and honestly this is the most relaxed I have felt in a longer time. Chopped Salad was Devine. I would highly recommend you come to Outback and experience what I have. Angie, you rock and I will come back for you (and the amazing prime rib. Lol). read more

Nice to visit great food and service love the blooming onion and there steaks a very convenient restaurant to visit

Been there quite a few times... Great Food, Nice people and prices aren't bad for a steakhouse. I always love to get the Bloomin Onion when I go there. read more

I was in last night for dinner with a friend. Sat almost immediately. Carina our server was EXCELLENT!! A few things that did bother me, I observed a lady behind the bar in a red shirt (later told it was Autumn the manager) chatting with some guests while an elderly gentleman tried to get her attention. He was shaking his EMPTY martini glass waved at her and she totally IGNORED him. As a former restaurant manager I found her lack of attention to her surroundings was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. I was in the business for 40 years and from my observation of her she is just there for a paycheck. When companies are fighting for every consumer $$ you would think that a manager would be more attentive. The 1 star review is for Autumn and her lack of professionalism. 5 stars for service Carina was amazing 5 stars for the food, (although the bloomin onion could have been cooked a minuet or 2 longer) read more

Great affordable food with friendly service. The Tuesday Tails and Walk about Wednesday specials are an unbeatable value. The staff seemed engaged and we enjoyed the friendless that the atmosphere brought. read more

Came here for my moms birthday and had such a good experience. The food was so good! The waiter was very nice and caring. He realized my husbands steak had a good amount of fat although it was delicious, he and the manager who was also very very nice decided to comp the steak. It was a very nice gesture that we will not forget. We will def be back! read more

Delicious food and amazing service. The cold beer really hit the spot! Jody was the best server! We Will be back!

Outstanding meal. Outstanding service. We sat at the bar and this was our first time here. The bar tray made eating so cool. My Caesar salad was great. Dressing was tossed on the romaine which is the proper way to make a Caesar salad. In my opinion My steak was a TEN My wife's steak salad was also a Ten. Meat was cooked perfectly Atmosphere was great. We will be back Thank you read more

I've generally had pretty good experiences at this Outback. While it's not my favorite chain restaurant (I'll take Chilis or Texas Roadhouse any day...), it's grown on me over the years, and this Peabody location offers good service to accompany the typically pretty tasty food. You'll definitely want to plan on doing call-ahead seating if you are coming here on a Friday or Saturday night, as the wait times for this place can get insane. Apparently suburban Peabodites loooove their Outback. Parking can also be a headache, and there have been a few instances where we've had to park in a nearby lot a few buildings over. My last visit here was on a Saturday night at around 9:30. The service was solid as usual, though the floor could have used a bit of clean-up (I'll give them a pass, since it was just after the Saturday rush, but it would be nice to have had someone going around with a broom to reduce the number of french fry piles on the ground...). One disappointing thing was that they were out of both the prime rib and the 10 oz filet. Seeing as those are two pretty standard menu items here, that was kind of a bummer (and did require us to adjust our orders a bit). I ended up trying a new item, the garlic butter filet medallions, and added on a few coconut shrimp (which are one of my guilty pleasures). The medallions were good, though if you're a steak lover, I'd still recommend the more traditional filet (if they aren't out of it!). I will say that the garlic butter that the medallions were drenched in was heavenly. The sides (asparagus and fries) were both good, with the asparagus cooked just the perfect amount - still a little crispy. The only side I've had a poor experience here with in the past has been the side salad, which came out with a dressing that was literally grey in color, and tasted super funky. Hopefully that was just a one-off bad experience. One thing I do really love about Outback is that you can get tasty cocktails for the $5-6 range. Their key lime martini is only $5 and is perfectly scrumptious, and they had a handful of other $5 cocktail options last night as well. I'm sure the alcohol content is pretty skimpy for that price, but they are still yummy. To drink the other night, I went with their house Cabernet, which was $8.50 for a 9 oz pour - not too shabby (and it tasted good too!). Overall, there are a few small things that it would be nice to see them address (e.g. not running out of two of the most popular menu items on Saturday night...) - but, if you're a fan of Outback, the Peabody location will likely leave you satisfied. read more

Why are you handing Curbside order customers the leather booklet with the bill in it to sign during COVID?? While we're in the car??Feels really unnecessary and unsafe for someone who already paid online to have to touch that, not knowing if it's been sanitized or wiped off from the last customer it was handed to. Please stop doing this!! It's a health hazard and I do curbside so it's contactless...and right on your Yelp page it says contactless too?!? read more

We went to the Outback in Peabody to celebrate my grandmother's 91st birthday and the staff were absolutely incredible. The manager in training went above and beyond to make the experience a positive and memorable night. He took great care of my grandmother and was so patient throughout the night. Our waitress also did a fantastic job making sure everything went smoothly. read more

Quality has gone way down. Hostess was rude, bloomin onion was burnt, drinks were watered down. Overall last 2 visits have not been the best. So sad. I used to love this place. read more

My wife & I went in for a date night and realized that outback is such a hit-or-miss dinner option. Someone walking out as we were walking in said 'might as well go across the street to McDonald's for better food & service'. The dinner was fine but didn't get a refill until right before we got the check. Food was good, steak was a little over cooked. read more

Best outback around! We drive 45 minutes out of the way to come to the Peabody location instead of the one down the street from us. The bartender was on point constantly filling our drinks when they got low. The steaks always come out perfectly! To top it off Ryan the manager was so nice and actually cared about our experience! We will be back, as always! read more

My son and I stopped in for dinner and it was perfect! Steve was a great server and attentive to our needs. He even made suggestions which helped us when ordering. We highly recommend Outback Steakhouse. read more

Went here for date night last night. It was my boyfriend's first time here. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. We were seated promptly and the service was great. I had the surf & turf meal and my bf ordered a pasta dish. For an appetizer, we had some sort of buffalo chicken poppers (i don't remember what it was called, my bf ordered it) It was sooo tender and delicious. My steak cut like butter and was cooked perfectly. The boyfriend said his meal was delicious as well, the chicken was tender and juicy. We would definitely come back sometime. The reason why I took off a star was because there was a table of 5 or 6 that was seated next to mine & my bf's table...and they were seated but received no service at all for 15-20 minutes. No water was brought out, no bread...no waitress came up to greet them. But my bf & I had our drinks brought out to us and our server came over to check in on us a few times. I felt really bad for them, they had 2 kids there too, and they just sat there looking around, and no one paid attention to them at all. read more

Food is always great! Staff is super friendly. Out waitress Marie was attentive and helpful! One of our favorite spots.

My girlfriend and I went to Outback Peabody on a weeknight just before 9 pm. We sat at a booth by the bar and waited longer than normal until a server greeted us. It wasn't a big deal, but when it was realized the server and manager both came over and apologized profusely for making us wait. Besides the brief hiccup at the very beginning the service and food was excellent. It really meant a lot to us how they handled the situation especially on a late weeknight. I got a steak and my girlfriend got the salmon. It was delicious, especially the baked potato. Food came out so well, had to take a picture. Any other restaurant wouldn't care about making us wait but Outback Peabody went the extra mile. We will be back again soon. Great food and great customer service. Highly recommend this restaurant! Wish I remember the name of the manager on duty, he was awesome! read more

I've been going here for over 6 years. Went there during the pandemic and I must say I don't think I can continue to go to outback Peabody. It seems management don't care about the quality of service or food. Example spent 35 .00 tonight for a cheese burger med and a house salad. Burger was burnt, no sheesh or condiments. Burger dry frys over salted and well done. Called and complained and manager said what do you want be to do about it. She started arguing with me so I hung up. It's not worth going to. I will call corporate tomorrow. STAY AWAY. read more

Last night my wife and I went to the Seabrook NH location. We had the blooming onion which was overly salty and dripping of grease. The salads were good. My wife had the filer mignon which she asked that they go light on the seasoning, which the cook ignored making the filet extremely salty. The baked potato came with a thick crust of salt. I got the sirloin and ribs. I like my food on the salty side, but the sirloin was so salty I could not eat it all. The ribs were somewhat tough. If they had been cooked at little bit lower temperature and a little longer would have cured this. The rice that came with my meal was also overly salty. The restaurant was pretty much empty at peak dinner time, and I can see why. We won't be going back as there are too many good steakhouses around to return for a disappointing dinner. I don't se them staying in business much longer unless they make some changes, mainly reduce the amount of salt they put on the food, let the customer decide how much salt they like. read more

Took my wife and daughter the other night to the outback in peabody and I forgot how great the food is! Got the 15 ounce ribeye and my got the 8 ounce sirloin. We both got Aussie fries. My daughter got the kids Everything was delicious!! The staff was very polite and accommodating!! Even the manager, I think his name was Ryan too, came to our table and asked how everything was and offered to get us anything we need. Will absolutely go back!! read more

This is one of my favorite Outbacks from all the ones I've been to. Our waiter was so polite and knowledgeable. We went to this restaurant with our 1 year old daughter. The waiter came immediately with a high chair, accommodated us in an easy seating area for kids and made us feel right at home! I ordered lamb with fries that was cooked to perfection. It came with fries and mashed potatoes. My wife and parents all ordered the Outback burger and they all loved it. Great service, awesome prices, super tasty food, what's not to love? We tend to go for the more authentic, family owned restaurants, but the Outback being a chain restaurant didn't disappoint at all. The weekends can be a bit tricky. This place is jammed and parking can be a hassle, but that's probably because of the quality of the food and service. If you're in the area, this place is a great try! read more

The Outback its been around for YEARS, Its a chain but its just a Steak Place right?! Well we were on vaca in Vermont recently & were starving so we stopped in & OMG forgot how good this place was. The BF doesnt often like steak places but since we went in Vermont we have been to the one around here 2 times. The drinks are good, the apps are good, the steak is GREAT.. he got a burger & said it was cooked PERFECT & that he might need to go back more often as to how good it was cooked. Love everything & now that my diet has considerably changed & Protein is going to be a big part of it - we might be stopping here alot. Just seems to always be busy when we go! read more

I had gone and ordered a cactus blossom and Shirley temples and split them with my girlfriend and they where so good! We ordered a steak and split it and got our two sides as we weren't very hungry. We ordered medium rare and had gotten back a blue stake, we had sent it back and still was not even close to medium rare. The third time I sent it back they did make sure it was cooked correctly and it did come out a little burnt all around. They had said they would take care of some of the Bill and they didn't, I payed the full thing and left a 20% tip still just wish the service had been better on the management end. read more

First off, let me start with our waitress, Tori. She was such an amazingly nice woman and was extremely patient with me. I have awful food allergies, so she carefully read over my list of foods that I am not able to eat, and brought the list in to show the chef. The chef grilled three skewers of delicious shrimp. They were able to prepare it with just butter and spices, as I am allergic to citrus products. For side orders I had grilled asparagus that was so fresh and tasty, as well as grilled vegetables. My husband ordered rib steak medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great meal and friendly service. read more

Birthday dinner with the girls. Second time having ahi tuna app. Delicious as the first although the Asian slaw was missing a little something. The shrimp this time seemed a little too salty and not the presentation I got the last time. My friend's steakhouse salad was a little on the limp side. Will def be back again. The service was prompt and very friendly. read more

The service was ok... but it was busy so was exceptional. I ordered the outback burger, and it was delicious... cooked well, and the bun was soft and fresh. The fries were good, not dry or too soggy... yummy. Definitely would recommend this place, hope to go back . The bloomin onion has a bit of a kick to it, but the dip tames the spice... read more

Worst Outback ever!!!!! We ordered through Dood Dash, they forgot the sauce for our Blooming Onion. Just an empty styrofoam cup sitting in the middle with nothing in it. My husband was so upset he actually drove to the store himself to pick up a sauce. The manager was the worst, when my husband explained to her what happened she was very rude! She said they put the cup in the middle of the Blooming Onion to hold the shape. But my question is: Why not fill that cup with the dipping sauce?!?? She rolled her eyes at him, and gave him "another sauce", and sent him home packing with the now soggy Blooming Onion. First of all, you should've apologized, and ask him to wait five minutes while you fire up a new one for him. How dare you?!? Where is your Customer Service training gone!?!? Apparently out the window along with our business! Also my pasta was tasteless and his Caesar salad was limp. Don't eat here! Plenty of places at North Shore Mall that blow this OB out the water! read more

Very small portions for the prices! I am shocked at this presentation. The Mac and cheese is yummy I will give them that but this small piece of salmon and lettuce should not cost $20! Not to mention the sad looking piece of chicken. Never again! read more

WOW, bad service is better then no service. We would have been treated better trying to eat out of a Rottweiler's food bowl, if you specialize in steaks why does it take 1.5 hours to cook 4 rare steaks? I mean you had 20 customers in the whole restaurant @ 6:00 pm on a Saturday night ( that should have been I hint to turn & run). It's like stumping you with an appetizer of Blooming onion. Given my choice next time I'll go to McDonalds. read more

I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants but when I do visit them I prefer Outback Steakhouse. This one in Peabody was delightful. It was a long wait but I also understand it's a Friday night. When we were seated a waitress immediately came over and took our drink order. I had the lemonade which was tasty. She got a raspberry tea. Now on to the dinner. I ordered the ribeye with mashed and broccoli. I like my meat medium but it came out more rare. No big deal here. They were super busy and mistakes happen. Still a delicious meal. She ordered the ribs which while I didn't have any looked amazing. During our dinner the manager went around and checked with everyone to make sure things were going well. I liked that personal touch. We will definitely be back here soon. read more

I wouldn't even give this outback a single star, but only way you can leaved a review. I was at the Outback last night. So very disappointed! The steak was so seasoned with salt and pepper that I nearly got sick on it! My blood pressure probably went over the top! And with asthma and pepper just don't mix! I said something the steak was taken away re plated on a different plate and brought back as If the did something to it! NOTHING WAS DONE TO YHE STEAK! When the manager came around asking how everything was I told her. Her response was next time tell the wait staff not to season my steak. Now am I old fashion? I really expected the manager would compensate me as I couldn't eat my meal? I took my meal home, why is beyond me, but it's in my freezer! Would I recommend Outback? NOT! read more
