It is a very underrated, but awesome place to eat! The staff is very nice, the food is amazing, and the scenery is just absolutely beautiful! 100% recommend coming! read more

Stopped in after a nice day of sight seeing for an early dinner. We ended up with the BEST server Samuel! Great attitude and customer service! Food came pretty quickly and tasted on par with Outback. But definitely a 5 rating for the whole experience. Thank you! read more

Very colorful place on the outside. Nicely done on the inside. Our server Latisha was nice and helpful about the area. We were not sure what to get and we only wanted something to share so we asked about two items and ended up splitting the Fish and Chips $20. We got three pieces, French fries and coleslaw. The chips were good but the slaw needed a little sugar for my taste buds. French fires good. It was just before 2 and the place was still full. I would recommend coming here. They have three sections. One is a bar, one a shop and one pizza with an outdoor area. Fun place. read more

Stopped in last night for a quick bite to eat, The bartender was great, it was clean and quick I'm fairly health conscious when eating and they made the pork chop without the sweet glaze. I would give them a 9.8 out of 10 Seasoned perfectly read more

We ate there, today Jan 3 2026 our waiter was" Colby He was a great waiter. Great attitude read more

First of all the food is terrible. These onion was swimming in grease which caused instant stomach problems. I ordered salad. My daughter ordered shrimp and rice with broccoli and the only thing edible on her plate was the broccoli. I did not touch the salad. It looked that bad. I took the meat home to the dog. The shrimp on my daughters plate was so dry. It had to have been sitting out for a while before we got it. Only five tables of the restaurant were in use while we were there. So there was no reason for us to wait for an hour to get our food. With other steakhouses available in the Rapid City area, I won't be wasting my money again at outback steakhouse again. If I want bad service and bad food, I can go any number of other places in Rapid City and not spend $100 to eat lunch read more

Good lunch specials until 4pm. Small (5 oz) steak w/ veggies of the day $13.99 was cooked perfectly. Queensland Pasta (fettuccine Alfredo) with chicken was creamy and very good. The chicken was a little spicy but good. Bloomin' Onion wasn't that great. Salty and slightly burnt tasting. Service in the bar area was friendly. We were pleasantly surprised read more

6 of us on vacation decided to have a late dinner near our hotel and with the Outback Steakhouse being close, we chose to come here as we're familiar with the chain. As it was a late dinner some decided to share meals, and we got two steak meals, a chicken meal and salads. We all enjoyed our meals, salads and side dishes that including baked potatoes Amber, our server was very good and friendly. She checked in on us after bringing us our food to make sure all was good and took our plates off the table before we left so we had a bit more room. As we have a couple people in our group who don't like beef, we were glad the chicken was good. We saw this had a overall basic middle of the road review, but all enjoyed our food choices. read more

Unlike Longhorn Steakhouse and the Texas Road house, very nice sound levels, able to talk to others without shouting. Did have one light over our table that kept going on and off, kind of irritating. Quick service for appetizer, drinks and taking the order. But then others beside the waiter brought the food so we had to sort out who gets what for them. Did not see the waiter for a LONG time. Table did not get cleared of used dishes, still had appetizer plates on the table right up to the very end. Only offer to refill was for the water, not for soda or drinks. Long wait for the birthday desserts, came partially melted. Got the checks but then no one came back in a reasonable time to cash us out, we ended up going up to the front to pay our checks. Women's bathroom was too small for a power wheelchair, I would say not fully ADA compliant, suggest you check it out when you first come in. Probably not going back as the negatives outweighed the positives. read more

Today (August 22, 2025) went to outback, I have no idea how many time in the last 3 years we have gone. I always order the outback old fashioned, tonight was the absolute WORST they have ever made. Over the top sweet, I could have put it over pancakes. My meal was the Kingsland steak and shrimp I ordered it medium it was raw no not undercooked RAW, I sent it back and it was still mostly over cooked and they put more sauce on it and it wasn't even warmer. I took my 2 grandkids, my wife and daughter the bill $186. I took 95% of my dish home, why i won't even eat it. Of ALL the times I have been there, this was the WORST. I hope they see this at Rapid City, SD outback and realize their "bartender" tonight SUCKED, serve beer maybe but dont allow them to make mixed drinks especially at signature named drink suck as the outback old fashioned. Pissed off read more

Sorry Rapid City giving you another not so great review ! Outback Steakhouse has gone DOWN Hill . Waiter seemed attentive at first and was able to get our drinks and water in a timely fashion. Ordered the 20 piece wings and a blooming onion as it's been a couple years since eating here . Wings used to be all drums and flavorful with an amazing dry rub . There were maybe 4 drums and the rest were flats !! Greasy and zero flavor. Blooming onion was greasy and flavorless as well. Our waiter was on top of the table with the two females asking if they were veterans trying to give a discount and trying giving extra bread loafs . (They were not vets) We didn't get the same question before Check about being a veteran and I wouldn't have second thought but since I overheard previous interaction. My husband being a long term Veteran I asked if it's true Outback gives discount. He said sorry .Blah blah . Please don't judge a book by its cover . He was but hurt after the fact . Won't be back ... Watch out for the dark haired disheveled male in the bar maybe looks like he drank (a lot) right before his shift !! ( not judging a book by its cover ) . read more

There is a reason why Texas Roadhouse has every seat filled and this place is dead. Slow service even though they are slow, overcooked steak. I could just sense the vibe right when I walked. RIP Outback. You're just living off the name. read more

Terrible service cold food and the second time after the took the food back to get me the hot food it was cold in the middle the microwave did not warm it up completely it was terrible experience especially when you order a $50 plate never going back read more

Order a medium rare steak. This is not it. Also a side of steamed veggies should be more than 3 pieces of broccoli and 2 pieces of carrot read more

Outback Steakhouse - Supposed to be medium rare... which it is not - Steakhouses Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Steak was supposed to be medium and it came out half medium well and half well done and some bits had to much seasoning and others had none they forgot to bring out one of our sides forgot the garlic on top of the steak and was just an under whelming experience read more

I went here a couple times but the food was just sad the burger was raw the steak was well done and I ordered it medium rare

After a long day of driving, I ordered online for pickup. First, the online stated would be ready in 20 mins, and unfortunately, It was more like 50 (I ended up going to the bar for a glass of wine while waiting). Second, my steak was severely undercooked. I ordered medium (little pink in the middle) and, as you can see, my steak appears to still be bleeding and was cold. The positives, the sweet potato was perfect, as were the grilled onions and coconut shrimp. If you go to this location, perhaps reconsider ordering a steak. read more

slow on a Wednesday night. 35 minutes to get a salad and no bread yet. Do not come here unless you have a lot of time to kill. Our waiter was also the bartender and spent more timear the bar. Fricking rediculess read more

Terrible. Wilted lettuce, small portions for a big price for poor food. I will never go to Outback again.

Food was outstanding, service was outstanding, ambience was very nice. I'm glad we went there.

We ordered a medium rare and a well done steak - couldn't cut either one with a knife - don't know if we got the rare bad one, or it's always like that? (Oh well, the dogs liked it) BBQ Shrimp was good, and so was the lobster. The blooming onion was tasty, but not enough to go back. read more

My friend and I went for my Birthday last Sunday. The waitress was new and not very well trained, but she was doing her best. The food was not bad and was cooked as we ordered. When the waitress asked if we were ready for our bill we said yes and we have a $50 gift card and a coupon for a free blooming onion. I gave her the discount cards and she returned with our bill- the discounts $77.54 and then - the $50 gift card our remaining balance was $27.54. My friend gave her a $100.00 bill and she returned with $13 in change!? My friend had enjoyed a few birthday drinks didn't realize how much she had been shorted until the next day. So I took the receipt back to the restaurant and ask to speak with the manager. A young man came out, and I explained to him what had happened, and he said well I'm looking at the receipt and I don't even see where you had eight $50 gift card and I said look at the bottom of the receipt and you will see it, he said oh I see it now, but this is not how we usually print out receipts. I said OK well that explains that the new waitress. Obviously didn't understand it either so we were charged more than we owed. My friend gave her $100 bill and only received $13. Our final bill was $27.54 So we were obviously overcharged, and even if our bill was the full amount of $77.54 we would have still been overcharged. He said there is absolutely no way that I can prove that you gave us $100 bill, I said you should have paperwork for every transaction. She took the hundred dollar bill and returned to the table. With $13 change so there should be a receipt that shows how that was calculated . then said, do you expect me to just believe you I cannot just go to the till and give money to anybody that comes off the street and says that they're overcharged. I said, are you calling me a liar he said well I do not have the authority to be able to do anything with this. I am only the assistant manager. So I said I am not just anyone off the street and I am bringing you in a receipt showing you and explaining to you that I was overcharged there is paperwork that would show the transaction. He said well you will need to come back and talk with the manager so that is fine. When can I speak with the manager and he replied well I'm not sure but maybe your best bet would be to try back on Friday! He was very rude, very unprofessional, and obviously not very well trained in public relations. I will try back on Friday and see what the manager can do with this unfortunate situation. ! read more

I ate here several years ago and the food was great. We took our brother there because he had never been to Outback and quality has gone down to zip. The wait staff was great but the food wasn't. Won't go back. read more

Great bone-in ribeye! Service was great! Beer selection limited but good meal! Will return next time I'm in town. read more

DELICIOUS. The workers there are really nice and they do some cool stuff every once in a whil.

Ordered a blooming onion burger and cheese fries through doordash. The burger was super plain...no ketchup or any other condiments. It was warm at least. The cheesefries were lukewarm and rubbery. The included salad was reasonable but for 30+ dollars I expected more. Best part was the quick delivery but I feel doordash should get that credit. Wont be back anytime soon. Meh. read more

Excellent service and food was served hot and fresh. The sirloin and shrimp were delicious. My husband ordered the wedge salad with blue cheese and enjoyed every bite. read more

This was my first time going to an Outback Steakhouse and it was a great experience! The loaded potato soup was to die for and the steak and Mac n cheese was fantastic. We spent less that what we thought we would as well. The staff was fabulous, always making sure we had what we needed and being very polite and friendly. I'm glad to say my first time at Outback Steakhouse was an awesome one! read more

It's just not great. It's the problem with 90% of chain restaurants especially steak houses. Product is shipped in from who know where, and usually over cooked. It all lacks flavor. Dessert and service was good, which is the only saving grace. read more

Our waiter deserves 5 stars! Anton was amazing and his presentation of all of the drinks and practically the entire menu was applause-worthy! Boy #1 loved his sirloin, and Hubs and I loved the fish tacos and chicken tacos so much we didn't get a picture before we started eating! The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars for this experience is because they confused our taco orders. I didn't want pico on my chicken and the hubs wanted it on his fish. I came to the table opposite of that, with pico on my chicken and no pico on his. We switched the fish and chicken and enjoyed it immensely. My favorite part of my dish was the herb aioli that came with the tacos. It was smooth and guac-like. So good! Definitely a great trip here! read more

We were unsure about this place when we walked in. Very hectic but then found out there were new gals working. The manager came in and kicked butt, she got tables cleaned and people sitting! We were sitting very soon and the waiter was a sweet guy. Drinks were never empty and his personality was awesome! He was on a roll! We will be back to this place and location! The food!? AHHH MAZING!! Steak was cooked to perfection!! And the shrimp was wonderful! read more

I come to the outback every time I'm in rapid city and my last experience reminded me why I always come. Bobby was our server/bartender but you always get the best service here. He was very attentive and very sweet, some of the best service I've ever experienced coming from a server who used to work in a high end place. These servers are amazing and work very hard, mind you the food is also fabulous read more

This is a weird place for an Outback. It was hard to find and didn't have good signage, but it's behind a couple of hotels. Our server was wonderful, but the food coming out was very, very slow. Once we got the food, it was excellent! read more

Overall poor experience. Bad service, bad food, bad everything. Oh, and when the customers are sitting with their coats and hats on, it may be time to turn the heat on!! I'll be emailing the corporate office this morning. I discourage wasting your time and money at this place. read more

My friend and I were passing through town in a U-Haul and we were pleased to find Outback Steakhouse! She had the Wednesday special 6-oz sirloin for 10.99 and it was juicy and cooked to perfection. I had the chopped sirloin with mushrooms and onions on top for 11.49. Mine was undercooked a bit but Alex, our excellent server, quickly made it right! The wedge salad was a generous portion with lots of yummy blue cheese and the mashed potatoes, comforting! Alex was cheerful and caring, making great suggestions and checking on us often. He even gave us a sample of the yummy cinnamon pecans. We enjoyed our Outback experience. read more

This was by far one of the best service I have ever received at a restaurant. I came right in the middle of the dinner rush during the middle of a week and was quickly seated. Even though the kitchen was slightly backed up, our server was very attentive to the status of the delays. What made our server stand out from all my other servers, we sat in a booth, he always knelt down to our eye level rather. To me, this makes the experience more personable. The manager (?) was out greeting guests and checking up on our satisfaction. Nothing on the restaurant, but I wanted mine cooked a little bit more. My request was quickly addressed and I was more than happy with the outcome. Both the manager and the server were very welcoming and warm. Unfortunately I was only passing through, from out of town. I would love to visit this place again. Sorry I can't recall the exact plate I ate, the service stood out as one of the best. You guys have a great crew. Keep it up! read more
