Had an early Valentines dinner here. Was hardly any wait since we called ahead and the server was at our table quickly. The classic Outback special was fantastic. Melt in your mouth steak with a side of steamed broccoli. The bread was warm and absolutely delicious. My husband had the No rules parmesan pasta with shrimp and chicken. He was very pleased. We took a cheesecake with chocolate sauce to go which was wonderful as well. read more

We ate here with my family for a special celebration. There were only 5 of us, and they managed to undercook all of the steaks we ordered. I mean, way undercooked. But our waitress was nowhere to be seen to complain to, and I don't like sending food back (God knows what they'd do with it). It had been a while since we had been here because of the prices. We'll not return because of mediocre food and awful service. Do yourself a favor and pick a different steak house. read more

Excellent service our waitress was welcoming definitely will be back made our visit to IL one to remember

First time here in a long time. The place is 85% clean, the service so far is really well, very attentive. (The seats a bit eh, because I found a piece of lettuce on my seat, so from that, I'm assuming they use the same towel to clean the tables and the seats. If so, that's nasty and you are spreading tons and tons of bacteria.) I ordered the Aussie sirloin. Rare with blue cheese, grilled asparagus and a baked potato. It was really good, chewy and bloody, because that's how I like it. My party had some steak tacos which were delightful, and a fire cracker salmon, which was good. Overall service was good, well done and well attended. Our server was Jason, highly recommend him when you come here. read more

My family and I had dinner on Sunday, as always service and meals were great. We usually come here to celebrate birthdays and we've never had a bad experience. read more

Worst place to eat at. Food was horrible. It's sad when you can't cook a steak. On top of that manager Jay is the worst to deal with. Having him not help an 87 year Longterm customer. We're publicly owned and we can't do anything any more per corporate. Best part is I called Jay today. Still a joke. He told me to talk to corporate and didn't care. read more

Not bad. They could see the happy birthday song with a little bit more gusto.

Outback in general is not the quality it used to be. Prime Rib, one of their mainstays is no longer on their menu. They long ago dropped their walkabout soup. We decided to give another try here. Much to our dismay, quality has become worse. I can't imagine us visiting again. read more

As always good service and well prepared food. Steaks were right on, waitress gave us time to enjoy the onion before she brought the salads. Drinks were kept topped off. I would give Rachel 6 stars but yelp wont let me! read more

Always good, speedy, friendly service. I love the Aussie Fries and am addicted to the sauce that comes out with them. Outback is perfect for date nights or families and larger groups and is very reasonably priced read more

Friendly and attentive services both times I went with my family! The steak was not cooked correctly neither times but nothing that would cause me to lose my appetite!! Excellent attention to my daughter and our drinks were always full!! read more

Our server Jordan was amazingly friendly and polite, and very helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and when one of the steaks looked a little small, the manager Alison was very kind and gave us a complimentary steak to make up the difference. The service was absolutely amazing. read more

It was ok food. I wanted the prime rib and they tell me that they don't serve it until 6 pm. What kind of place limits the food choices for lunch?the Mac and cheese sucked ass also I know this because my wife didn't eat it and she eats everything! read more

One of my favorite places for steak. Been here many a times and never been disappointed. Service is decent, food is good and reasonably priced. Convenient location as well. read more

Have been going for years here and there to the out back for dinner. Usually excellent. This time I went for lunch. My steak was excellent, half the size it used to be Victoria Filet, practically a snack. Awesome flavor, unfortunately it shrunk to half the size. The bread was not the freshest, last nights I guess. I got a salad, WOW where is the dressing is this a joke literally 1 teaspoon of dressing. the grilled asparagus YIKES horrible. One should never grill asparagus. Dad got Chicken Sandwich it was so bad he couldn't eat it. Mom the sirloin, I warned her about it, it sucked the last time and it did this time too. The hostess and the waitress the best very attentive and very kind A+ for them, the only reason for the stars. read more

Both mine and my husband's favorite place for ribs! They are truly delicious and fall off the bone. In all our many times here we have never had bad service. We will continue to come back and look forward to their great food and atmosphere. read more

Great Service, clean eating area, great food, the list goes on! I had the bet two tails of lobster today, along with a crispy and fresh house salad, a crunchy blooming onion and mashed potatoes. The entire staff was friendly, we were by the front door. It was a great time! read more

My date and I only waited a few moments to be seated our server and the food was the best deathly recommend

Had an excellent experience here. Outback Steakhouse is by far my favorite steak house around. The manager, Jay, is extremely pleasant. He chatted with us for about fifteen minutes. Our server was a polite young lady named Emily. She asked me to mention she's Emily C if I wrote a yelp review because I mentioned that I was a yelper. Very impressed, you won't regret dining at this restaurant! Thank you to the outback staff! read more

Food was lousy as hell! I've been eating Outback for many years and have never been disappointed until arriving to this location. After visiting family twice in Rockford ,I tried to give this restaurant a second chance and it never fails the food is horrible. The food isn't fresh and doesn't look or taste anything like Outback signature taste.i could have eaten at a local bar and had better food. The Blooming onion was as if it was from last weekend. Just horrible food. The best thing at the table was the water and bread.I'm surprised this location is still operating. They need to hire a new chef immediately or this establishment will quickly deteriorate. read more

I came here for a birthday for my friend. Just 3 of us. My adult daughter asked about Fish and Chips and was told they use Cod! Yum! Out came about 5 strips of Tilapia. It's was so so burnt up and horrible. I ordered a 6 oz steak. It came out so incredibly salty I couldn't eat it. I told the waitress it was terrible and she actually said I must be VERY sensitive to salt?? WTF? The manager came over with a card for a free blooming onion on our next visit. They would not replace it or take it off my bill. I was seriously disappointed in their lack of customer service. A friggin onion next time?? I took my entire steak home for my dog but then I was worried about all that salt. I tossed it in the trash. Birthday girl ate and did not have any complaints. We mentioned to our nasty waitress it was my friends birthday. She rolled her eyes as if we were trying to scam them out of a free piece of cake. No refill on coffee. I can't believe I paid for that horrid meat. We so should have gone to Johnny Pamcakes. read more

Waitress was wonderful. The food we ordered was a little over cooked but our waitress made it worth it.

I have been to Outback many times, but, last night's experience really stands out above the rest. I've never had a bad experience there, mind you. It's just that last night was extra special. We were seated immediately and our server (Jade) came over promptly to get a drink order and to help us decide upon an appetizer. Of course we chose the Bloomin' Onion. What's the point of going to the Outback if you don't get the Bloomin' Onion? She brought our drinks along with some hot, fresh fresh bread. We needed a little more time and she gave it to us. She was so friendly. I decided on the 1/2 rack of ribs with a side salad and loaded sweet potato. The rib meat was so tender it literally was falling off the bone. The salad tasted very fresh and unlike most restaurants in Rockford, it was NOT just lettuce and dressing. It had tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and homemade croutons. The sweet potato was your typical sweet potato with butter and brown sugar, but good, nonetheless. My partner had a steak, loaded potato and a side salad. He said that the steak had a great flavor to it and was cooked just right. I also let him try my ribs, and he agreed, they were the best we've had in Rockford. I can't stress enough how great our server was, she was right there when we needed her without needlessly hovering. She kept our drinks and bread filled wonderfully. Before we left, we asked to speak to a manager to compliment our server and the food. He seemed a bit stiff, maybe he's just used to so many people complaining about every little thing, trying to get something for free. I would definitely go back and recommend the Outback to anyone who likes good food. read more

Out backs customers can generally count on a consistent dining experience from house to house. The Rockford location is the only exception so far. The service is downright indifferent. How does one explain a server that neglects repeated requests for utensils , water and napkins? A chopped salad order with blue cheese that only arrives after repeated requests, meal interruptous from the restaurant manager -- handing out coupons for future visits and more of that ilk. The lack of care is incredible. Until the last 10 minutes when the check arrives and a sugary faint offer for dessert is made by our waiter. Our visit was on the day before Mother's Day and-the place was not overflowing with diners; but we were ignored like never before, we all rubber necked around--looking for him for the simplest of things. Their priorities are butts in seats - period. read more

Well, they cooked my steak wrong again! It just ruins the whole dining experience. If you have to cook it over, then my wife is eating her food alone! What a joke this place has become. Sorry to say but, you just lost a customer. read more

Enjoyed lunch with the family last Saturday afternoon and everything was great. I've eaten at Outbacks in many different states and their food is always consistently good wherever you are. Aside from slow service on this particular occasion (which was only bc our server was still learning the ropes), we had no complaints. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Outback! read more

After enjoying a nice steak dinner and paying our bill, my husband and I thought gee it's been awhile since the sever refilled our drinks (water) we walked to bar and filled them and returned to our seat to continue to watch college basketball after the game was over we figured our time there was much longer then expected, 2 hrs had passed after paying bill, still no sever.. in fact the manager didn't check in at all. read more

We went here to celebrate with family. The food was great, and the service was wonderful. My dad and I had the porterhouse pork chops, and they were well cooked, moist and very flavorful. We have other places that usually get our steakhouse business, but Outback definitely is in the running for repeat business! read more

One of the worse steaks I've ever had. Ordered the 6oz filet and shrimp. The filet was tough with silver skin still intact. Shrimp was ok but not firm. Would not go back. read more

Ariana D., our server, was the best server that we have had in the past three months. Until this visit, we have been very unhappy with our service with just two people. Tonight we were a party of seven. She asked us more times in the first part of our meal if everything was okay then all three of our visits in the past three months. The food was delicious! Warm and not cold as in the pass. read more
