Don't be fooled by there so called lunch special. It's clearly bate and switch. My husband and I went there for lunch and most of the items listed on their lunch special had an up charge of $4.00 each so a $10 lunch each turned into a $20 lunch each. Also the table next to knew an employee at the restaurant and two servers were giving that table constant service and we waited over half and hour to be greeted and another half hour to get salad then another 20 minutes for soup. We used to eat there once a week but we have taken them off our dining list! read more

We went here for a double date night on a Tuesday. We added our names to the wait list on our way, about 15 minutes. When we arrived we waited for about 20 more minutes after arriving to the restaurant. I let this slide since they are operating at 50% capacity. Upon being seated (in a very small booth); we were greeted briefly, but not asked for our drink order. Our waitress came by and told us she'd get our drinks in a second...we had yet to order our drinks. She asked for our drink order 20 minutes after being seated. Then we waited at least another 20 minutes for our food. The soup which was promised to come before my friend's meal never came until he pointed it out. She took it off his tab which was at least one good look for Outback. I was shocked by how small the portions were for a median priced chain restaurant. My steak was tasty, although a friend's steak was not nearly done how she had asked. They kindly took it and cooked it longer, but came back out overly charred. Overall, I am disappointed in the locations service, but also Outback's overall quality and value. TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read) Pros: Blooming Onion Baked potato French Onion Soup Cons: Poor service Long wait times (even on a weekday) Small booths Small portions for cost Non-alcoholic drinks were lackluster read more

I luv the bloomin' onion, ribs & steak. I invited my friends to celebrate the UEFA Championship win of Real Madrid. We wanted to try the Moonshine Ribs Combo and Steak and shrimp. Diner comes with side order we all got mashed potato and salad. the 1/2 rack starts at $10.99 and is more than enough if you are having an appetizer . To cap the meal the new dessert item, apple tart a la mode that in itself is worth the trip to the place. I'm going back this week. Foster lager rounded off the meal. read more

This place is not for people of color. They will definitely let you know that. I had an employee come from behind the counter and physically push me while yelling get out. This could have gotten really ugly. read more

I ordered a chopped salad which was about half rotten. They replaced it with another salad which also had some rotten lettuce. There was no fresh lettuce at all, it all looked several days old. Very disappointed. read more

The salads are great. The steak seems to get smaller each time I go there. Overall the food tastes good.

The last two times we were there, the food was awful. Over done steaks, service no better! We will not be returning. You used to be a good place to pop in and have a nice dinner not top of the line but good enough, now you have gone right down the hill! read more

My food is consistently good here. The servers are always very nice and accommodating. It's not fancy and the floors and the restrooms are usually a bit grubby but I always come more towards 8pm, you avoid the families with the noisy kids that way but they've left a wreckage in their wake. I always get the Victoria's Filet with Gold Coast Shrimp, you can't go wrong! read more

Nothing special. Ambience is dark and feels cozy. Can get a little loud. None of the dishes ordered were anything to rave about. Not much seasoning, pretty bland. Way better options in the area for middle of the road food. Especially for dinners at $27 for a bland breaded chicken cutlet and some lettuce. Nothing was raw, and the drinks were good. Server was really nice. So, three starts instead of two. read more

I frequently dine here, but was extremely disappointed at the quality of the medium rare 12oz Prime Rib cut I ordered. The meat was downright raw. When I sent it back, it appeared to be cooked correctly, but it was so tough that I had to put a lot of effort into even cut it. I took one bite and couldn't even finish the bite. The waitress brought me a new cut and it was just as tough. Either someone is not paying close enough attention to the quality of the meat or the cook just didn't care. Probably both. The service was "ok", but I had to remind them I had asked for horseradish with my meal. I'll try again in a couple of weeks and see if they've improved. Sure hope so. Dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

Just had probably the worse meals in my life from Outback Steakhouse. I got the ribeye and a brownie sundae using doordash. I've never had a ribeye where (along with the ton of fat ) had grizzle going through the whole steak. Plus it had so much seasoning it was basically not edible. Broccoli and potatoes where fine. The the ice cream brownie sundae, yuck. Brownie was undercooked, the chocolate curls aren't even chocolate. I ate one by itself and it never melted in my mouth. I'd probably still be eating it if I didn't spit it out. Horrible. Never again. read more

We have been going here for decades but tonight was substandard. It started with a server delivering a plate together with an apology and a offer to redo. Nothing wrong with the waitress, though. read more

We haven't been here in awhile but the we planned dinner with the in-laws and they suggested outback. We had a little wait but it wasn't too bad. I was telling them all about our last visit and the salmon that was over seasoned. Turns out it wasn't salmon it was the pork chop and guess who ordered the pork chop this time. Needless to say the poor waitress must have over heard my big mouth and kept telling all of us the amount of seasoning and if we want less. I thought this was fine and didn't take any offense. She was just trying to be helpful and get our food the way we like it. I swear my big mouth is going to get me in trouble some day. This time the pork chops was so delicious. So like I said idk if the waitress wrote down less seasoning or what. The wife was very happy with her parm crusted chicken. Good meal all around. read more

My co-worker and I were out in the community for the day and needed somewhere to stop for lunch. She had not had Outback in a while so we decided that's where we needed to go! The restaurant had maybe one other guest inside but we stood at the front for a while. The one bar tender finally came over and said he was the only one in the restaurant. It took a long while for him to get our order, bring our food, and get our payment. He was by himself while working the bar and probably 15 tables by the time we left. It was not the best experience because of that. He was very apologetic but makes you wonder why Outback lets that happen for their lunch hour. Food was good all around though. No complaints there! read more

The perfectly grilled salmon was perfectly cooked and was very tasty! The fresh veggies were nicely cooked and a lil on the crisp side just the way I like them! Our service was Excellant and speedy. Make sure you save room for so delicious dessert. The chocolate thunder from down under is scrumptious! read more

Crappy service, both orders wrong. Rib eye so chewy couldn't eat it. Glass of water empty no refills offered. Wanted prime rib but out of course, at a steakhouse. So disappointed to have to pay for it. read more

The food was overpriced, overcooked and small portions...prime rib like shoe leather..steak's the same way...3 times your out...

Waited forever for my food. When it came, the steak was overcooked and dry. Sent it back and never got another one, so I left.

Came in at 5 , didn't get served till 6:15, payed 23$ for a salmon dinner, was dry and unappetizing, food was not warm, for that price I expected a good meal, so I'll stick with Texas Roadhouse read more

Bread was hard and stale. Steak was scorched and not medium at all. Mash potatoes were cold cheese and butter didn't even melt. Asked for water and didn't get a refill until 15 minutes later. Mind you it's lunch time and it isn't busy. Service in the kitchen and the waiters was disappointing. Waited 15/20 mins for a new meal and the waiter came out with just the steak but took my plate that has brussel sprouts, mash potatoes and a burnt steak. So I had to wait again for ALL of what I ordered. Not pleased read more

Came here with my boyfriends family on a Sunday night, apparently his dad is a huge fan and made that fact very well known. Wasn't too busy, and we were seated right away. His dad is a talker, to everyone, the hostesses were great though and kept up a pretty good banter with him the entire way to our table. Now the main reason reason for the 5 star review. Our server heather (only remember the name because the bfs dad kept referring to her as heather locklear), was freaking awesome. She was extremely patient and attentive with our table the entire time. Again, my boyfriends dad loves to talk and no topic is off limits. But no matter what topic he brought up, she was right there with an answer and pleasant conversation throughout the meal. The food was also way better than I expected. My fish was cooked perfectly and arrived to the table piping hot which was also nice. When it came time for the check, there was no waiting to be rung out once we had the card out at the table ready to pay. We were also among the last there near closing time, but never once felt like they were trying to rush out of there. A great experience, I'll definitely be back. read more

EVERY restaurant must follow COVID requirements....yea I guess not this Outback location. Allowing a party of 31 over 3 tables all walking where ever they want, no masks and completely ignoring the requirements. PATHETIC!!! Perhaps with all the recent protests, management was afraid to enforce the Executive Order with this group. Unfortunate for my family. Almost forgot, ordered a 9oz steak was brought a 6oz at the wrong temperature. The additional steak took 3 try's to get it cooked to the right temp. Lesson learned? read more

WIth the amount of times I have visited this Outback, it's enought for me to gain ten pounds thinking of the amount of steaks and fries I've consumed. Tonight on the other hand...was a bit of a different story. As today was father's day, this is where my dad wanted to dine so why not right? I was in the mood for a nice steak dinner and Outback seemed like a good place compared to the OTHER steakhouses around...*cough*...Longhorn. As per usual, we arrived at four and with an early reservation we were seated without problems. For those who don't know, Outback is loacted in this strip-mall like building and is right next to Five Guys. I would like to know which came first since both are great places to eat but we aren't talking about Five Guys here, this is OUTBACK!...moving on. The tables and chairs still looked to be...teetery so we were lucky enough to get a booth with a good view of the restaraunt. Don't expect a whole lot of room here since because of hte location this is in, space is modest and with a hungry crowd of people here, it may drive you to insanity if you hate being around people. So enough about that, onto the most important part of the evening, the food! I ordered my usual twelve ounce Outback Special, cooked medium rare and wood-fired. Why not the original classic? Well, let's just say my taste buds would disagree! As usual, my sides were the Aussie Fries and the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, yes potato overload but I love it. We were lucky enough to have Rochelle as our waitress who did such a fantastic job our tip came up to around twenty dollars for her. However, there were some problems tonight...and they were major ones. We had ordered the chicken wings as an appetizer which were all well cooked and had good flavor, but when it came to the entrees.... My mother's cheese fries were served with no cheese on them but her burger was just well so Rochelle sent her new cheese fries in a matter of minutes. With that problem out of the way, a more serious one arose. My father's new york strip steak was overcooked...WAY overcooked. Shocked as we all were since this was FATHER'S DAY, when Rochelle came back, one of the head staff members Debbie joined her and had the steak sent back in advance. While the rest of us enjoyed are food, the steak came back eventually but this time...it was..R-A-W. All of us touched the middle and felt the coldness within. Debbie was so ashamed she didn't even charge us for the new york strip as we sent it back a third time. Rochelle offered my father something to satisfy him but all he wanted was his steak...poor her. A miracle that the steak came back just right all with Rochelle apologizing for the mishap even thought this wasn't her or the rest of the wait staff to blame, it was the chef. My brother and I had no issues with our meals and we even had room for a chocolate brownie dessert which completed the fantastic meal we had. The cheesecake my dad had got was according to him "perfect" so that made his day. With all of us finished with eating and having recieved coupons from Debbie after the little accident, we still left actually happy and in a positive mood. As this would usually be a sign of me rating this location three stars, the staff here is what makes it stand out. The atmosphere may not suit some people but with what you get, make the best of it. With Outback's tasteful food and respectful staff, it has somehow impressed my picky nature and I hope it encourages others to check it out as well. read more

Abby L was a great waitress and her manager as well . Our order was messed up in the kitchen so took an abnormal amount of time to come out, before we even complained they came over and told us our dinner was paid for then offered to bring us soup and salad. They handled themselves very well and we still enjoyed our dinner despite having to wait for an hour. read more

Stopped for dinner with friends last night, seated right away. Place was clean, waitress was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew the menu. Appetizer was great, coffee was fresh, salad good, steak and potato was delicious. Had a coupon from the Sunday paper which made it even better to save a few bucks on a good meal. Will return when in the Greece area if looking for a good steak meal. read more

Service from Sara!!! Outstanding! Food came hot and just right!! Great job outback!! read more

Terrible takeout service. Ordered for a 5:15p pickup. Arrived and parked in designated parking space. Watched a server come out the door 3 times look around and go back in. At 5:26p i call the restaurant, select take out at speak to apparently the same person who came out looking. She said she didnt see me-- my vehicle stands out, add to that no one else was in the 4 reserved spaces. My order was ruined. The manager came out to let me know they deliver. Great something else to avoid. Dobt waste you time or money. read more

Great value - ok. It's not advertised as a five star restaurant but this is truly a great value. Or waiter Alex was exceptional. The value received for the price was extraordinary. The service I received was beyond expectations. It was my father in laws birthday and our waiter must have picked that up in conversation as they showed up with an unexpected dessert. Little did they know at 85 years old this is one of his best restaurants that he frequents but typically as take out because he is alone. You made his day. So great to see that service, attention to quality and value is still the combination for success. Well done outback in Greece NY. read more

So, I gave it 2 stars due to the waitress that took care of us. Other then that, I'm not sure what happened to outback but the experience we had there was just terrible! I will start with the dinning room. It's very dark and gloomy. Has a little smell lingering. Outdated. But that was the better part of it. The waitress we had was just fabulous. She did a really good job at apologizing! There was a young kid working as the hostess, he sat us down he was very unprofessional to say the least. His hair looked like a bush on top of his head and I asked for a table but there was 6 of us. He made a huff noise and we had to ask him to put two tables together. Now look!! I don't normally complain, but when your charged $200 for the bill and the service was shitty with the exception of our waitress and the food, o yea, the food. Let me tell you, this had to be the most expensive worst meal I have ever had in my life. I looked at a picture in the menu and thought, boy that looks good. I ordered, noodles and creamy Alfredo sauce with a nice cut of steak and a nice row of shrimp. Well, I got the plate and let me tell you, it looked like a totally different plate. It had 3 tiny circles of steak, 4 pieces of shrimp that were burnt, a pile of noodles that had no Alfredo sauce on them at all. It was Disgusting!! I could not believe they sent this meal out like they did. Even the waitress couldn't believe it. So, I sent it back. I sent back my dry noodles, burnt shrimp and 3 circles of steak. I just ordered a steak. But everyone's meal was shitty. For the money it was garbage. I ordered a blooming onion, I figured they couldn't mess up the well known blooming onion, right!! Wrong!! So what happened to the blooming onion!? It use to be huge, right!! Nope! It was a regular size onion cut like the blooming onion and it was very burnt. Look, I haven't ate here in a while now. But it was my daughter's birthday and I wanted to take the family out to eat. I don't care about the cost I would of paid $300 for a good meal. To me it's not the cost if the food is on point. This is why these places are folding up because of sloppy service and shotty food. With the exception of our waitress, she was fantastic. Really nice lady so A+ on that. I even tipped her $50 I hope she has a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. As for eating here, never again! It's just not worth a $200 bill to eat in a shit hole like outback. I'm really disappointed and discussed with this place. One more thing, so the manager came out to apologize for the meals. I told her about my dry noodles, Alfredo sauce smothered, you know. She told me, well we could of giving you extra Alfredo sauce!!?? I thought, really!! I asked her why couldn't it of been cooked right to begin with!? She had no answer. She said, well were taking it off for you!? Again! Really! I told her, yea, no shit!! Not in them words, I wouldn't cuss at her. But she's acting like she's doing me a favor! No 10% off no nothing! And that's fine, and I didn't ask I just simply left and will take my family elsewhere from now on. So if your thinking about going out to eat, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you want this experience! Have a great holiday season everyone and bless you all!! read more

The food was excellent and our server a nice guy....the men's room was pretty smelly and could stand to be cleaned.

Goddamn thieves! I took my wife here and had a very nice dinner while my daughter was at an event. We had a $130 bill and gave a $30 tip - 22% or so, by my reckoning. Certainly not an insulting tip. The waiter turned the "30" into an "80" !!! They gave themselves an $80 tip on my credit card. Merry Christmas to that asshole. P.S. - maybe waiters wouldn't be thieves if we paid them a living wage. But despite my sympathy, that does not give you a license to STEAL. I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN. EVER, EVER, EVER. read more

This is always just an ok experience, I'm not sure we always come back. The parking lot is a nightmare, which they probably can't help because they're in a plaza, but it's always a pain. The service was ok, the food was ok, nothing spectacular about our experience. Nothing too much to complain about. The bathrooms are really nice. read more

We stopped in for an early date night. We enjoyed our visit. The staff were polite and service was prompt. We both enjoyed a prime rib which were both cooked to order. The mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies were delicious. And we even treated ourselves with bloomin onion petals, which are cheaper and more practical for a dinner for two...and just as tasty. read more

Two only because the interior at the bar seating is very nice and the blooming onion is a rare fail. Otherwise the staff contemplating on who would "take the table" were not interested in serving the patrons as one server said "I'm not taking them, I made rent today." The statement bread was delivered cold and not Outback standard. Without a list of all the imperfections of the dinner that we ultimately boxed up, paid for and discarded. This will be our last Outback visit if this is the new standard. On another not our visit was during what would typically be a busy Friday evening however it wasn't. The staff carefree with their boredom rant and lack of drive to elevate the experience of the few patrons was unfortunate. Less patrons doesn't mean less efforts and great efforts are noticed but not at this visit. Very unfortunate. UPDATE: Outback reached out personally and were very attentive to the concerns noted above. Very professional and what we expect from our local Outback. Thank you. read more

Terrible Experience. Asked for 2 Medium Steaks and got rare back. Wouldn't go back. Don't go if looking for steak.

Me and my family had dinner tonight and it was a great experience! The food was great, the waitress was amazing and even the manager came out to greet us. Both of my sons said they want to come back and have their 6th & 8th birthday dinners there! read more
