Outback Steakhouse - My steak is supposed to be medium not whatever this is - Steakhouses Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

Absolutely TERRIBLE! My husband and I went with some friends Saturday evening. We got seated quickly because we called ahead. Ordered cheese fries and blooming onion. The cheese fries were not fresh and the blooming onion was extra greasy. Salads came out and were made wrong but picked through what we didn't want. My husband ordered the outlaw ribeye and I ordered the blooming chicken. After taking a bite of chicken it didn't taste right. The mashed potatoes were not hot enough to melt the butter. My husband ate a few bites of his steak and then pushed it away. It smelled terrible and tasted like spoiled meat. The waiter asked if we needed a to go box and never asked if everything was OK. We paid and left. We will not be going back to this place ever again. Needless to say we were both sick after eating there for the past few days. read more

Date: 04/30/2017 Time: 12:30 PM Everything, besides our waitress, was absolutely awful here!!!! I wish I could rate it lower than 1 star--it was just that bad. I ordered a 6 oz sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The steak was just awful, it literally tasted like someone pre chewed it up and threw it on the grill. It had absolutely no seasoning, not even Worcestershire could hide the horrible taste. The mashed potatoes were so bland! The broccoli was descent and my favorite part of the meal. I ate maybe a quarter of my meal and was just done. The restaurant was dirty and floors were slick. Not well taken care of at all! I was pretty appalled. Our waitress was super nice and worked to make sure our large party had plenty of drinks and bread, so I guess the one star will go just to her. I recommend going to a different Outback or just another local restaurant. You will be much much happier! read more

Outback Steakhouse - I do not recommend! - Steakhouses Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

Highly disappointed. We came in for dinner and there was a wait so we sat at the bar. The bar was filthy! There was crumbs all over the bar. Every table around the bar had old dishes on them and no one ever cleaned them off during our entire meal. It took them about 10 mins to even wipe down the bar in front of us. The bartender was not very welcoming at all and had bad communication skills. It was hard to hear him and he just wasn't engaging. I ordered the Wallabee Darned drink and it tasted like juice. No alcohol at all. The Toowoomba Salmon, not amazing. There were dirty dishes pilled up everywhere. It made my eating experience very uncomfortable. I even asked for plasticwear because I wasn't confident in the cleanliness of this place. I'll never be back. read more

Check in on line for a 6:15 time. Got there at 6 finally seated at 6:50. Seems manager handling the front somehow pass us by. Waiter had about the worst attitude I've ever seen. Have gone there many times before and had excellent service. May give it another try but Longhorn will probably be my next stop for a steak. Will say the food was very good. read more

Outback at Salisbury is pretty great. . We ate here tonight. It's always busy. Service was excellent tonight. This is our family's go to Outback Restraunt . We love coming to the Salisbury, location and having the waiter Greg serve us! He is Excellent! He is always courteous and seems to be able to handle his tables well! He gives great service. Even when I tend to be a little bit picky about things I need or want for my food...lol...This Outback in Salisbury has always had delicious hot and juicy food. The deserts are amazing. And not to mention they also offer coupons and discounts on their App for your phone. So a win for the Customers. I would highly recommend you try out this Outback in Salisbury, NC. read more

this place is crap ... the waitress was rude and everything was crap .. now I know why it was so empty.

Got this steak tonight. Ordered it online as a pick up and when I open the box I find a burnt steak. Meat like this is too expensive to get it wrong. I always seem to have bad experiences at this restaurant when I order from it as takeout. Hope this improves. read more

Previously this was on of my favorite restaurants. My last few visits have been horrendous. Firstly, when ordering pick up the food is never ready when promised. It's a much longer wait. Secondly, the food has not been correct any of the times I've ordered take out. Lastly, the food is disappointing. On my last trip, the steak was incredibly over seasoned and spicy even though no toppings where selected. Not to mention, the side I ordered was mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes are so salty they are not edible. This was not only my opinion but that of my entire party. I will definitely not be returning. read more

Ordered to go. Items accounted for no seasoning on Alice Springs chicken, hard bread and vegetables weren't seasoned and barely cooked. The blooming onion was overcooked had a free coupon for that. Lots of salad dressing. The Saled was good. read more

I've been waiting over an hour for food that was called in. I don't an answer as to what's the hold up and when my food is going to be prepared. This was a horrible experience! read more

The people are friendly and they get my Prim Rib right every time I go. The food is good. Just wish they had a lunch menu on the weekends.

Promptly seated. Waitress was good. She continuously filled our drinks and stopped by often to check on us. Ordered potato soup, prime rib, talapia stuffed with crab and mixed vegetables. Waitress brought bread with regular butter and honey butter. The honey butter was good, sweet. Food came out fast and hot. All of it was good. Will return. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Potato soup - Steakhouses Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

It's very difficult leaving this review as I have been a frequent customer of this location for YEARS! The new manager that took over when Ruben left is running this location in the ground. Tonight was my last time visiting EVER! We were waiting on two people. Called ahead but we're not allowed to take our seat until they arrived. We always have drinks and never spend under $100 and always tip very well. We are known by all the employees. Manager older grey haired lady so no one confuses who I'm speaking of very rude and told us fine just go somewhere else so we did. I'll never go back here until she is gone. From the looks of it it won't be too long. The parking lot is always empty now. read more

I ordered crispy chicken SW with a salad. fiancé ordered what's on her plate. The burger and fries. So they bring me a grilled chicken patty. That's it. Just the patty. So I called my waitress back over and confront her about it. Explained I ordered a Crispy chicken sandwich. She Brings me back a plate with a bun on it. Still not what I ordered. We didn't get a refund. Or a discount. read more

I was speaking in NC and was put up in a hotel that didn't have a restaurant (Grrr!) - this was in mini-hiking distance and by default won. They had a surf & turf special $15.99 - I took a pic of the menu but should have taken a picture of the actual meal - because they were WAY different. Tiny sirloin piece & an equally tiny lobster tail that was obviously previously frozen. But you know, there's something comforting about an Outback - you know it's going to be OK even if it's not spectacular. And always the brown bread is a winner. Service, however, was lovely - hard working & friendly wait staff. So 2 starts for the food & 3 stars for the service - I'm gonna overall average up! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Forget the frozen lobster tail & stick with sirloin steak. But the bread is always a winner. - Steakhouses Near Me - Salisbury, North Carolina

The best part about Outback other than their food is their consistency. I love to be able to get the same great food no matter which location I end up at. Their food may be considered a little pricey but definitely worth it. If I don't get a steak then I usually will order a Caesar salad with grilled salmon because their salmon is always cooked to perfection and always a delicious plump filet of yumminess. I have never had bad service here and they will always bring u more bread if u ask for it. Sometimes I do find their ambiance music obnoxious but if it is played low enough and they don't have it blasting over the pa then I can usually tolerate it. read more

I'm sitting at the restaurant right now. If I ever get my food, I will eat and never come back. This place is dirty and they can't keep up with the service. We've been waiting over an hour for our food. It's horrible! There's no reason for the delay. read more

Waited about 45 minutes last night to eat with family. We all went out as a family first time without our little baby in a very long time. All our food was cold and nasty. They took off half of our bill but still doesnt help the fact that the food wasnt good. Three tables got their food before us and we came in before them. read more

I really wish I could give less than one star due to this experience. However the sweet young man at the host counter was very polite. It's not often I review food establishments because there are so many moving elements, and I understand that things happen. However on a pretty low key night at outback we were seated in the dining room at a few minutes to six. At 6:22 my boyfriend and I looked at eachother after seeing 6-7 waitstaff address the table across from us. Not once did they act upon looking at our empty table. We had more than enough time to look over the menu, several times. No waters, no drink orders, no waiter. I walked up to the front counter at 6:25 and explained that we had been here for more than 20 minutes and had yet to be acknowledged at all. Finally, several minutes later we were acknowledged by a waitress, who claimed there was a mix up in the names of the waiters... an extremely insincere apology and a little huff and puff in her step. Just as you'd expect, nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary happened throughout the remainder of our visit. Step it up Outback, you'd think for being a moderately pricey restaurant the hospitality would be up to par. read more

I usually love Outback. Today for lunch, the service was horrible. Took 10 minutes at the bar just for someone to acknowledge I was there.....I was the only person at the bar. By the time I was ready to leave, there were 15 to 20 people waiting to be seated and no hostess in sight. Another two people sat at the bar and it took another 10 minutes to even greet them, much less take an order and I was still waiting for help to get my check. If you dont get an hour and a half lunch break, don't bother coming to this Outback. read more

Love the food for the most part. And the service can be hit or miss. Some are great. Others not so much. The little guy up front who seats folks with a complimentary cornet joke however - has to be told "no". Just no. It almost discourages me from coming in when I open the doors and see him standing there. read more

Standard outback food, but really struggled with service/kitchen. I ordered Cobb salad with chicken. It came out 5 minutes after other food and had shrimp on it instead of chicken. Also, asked dressing on the side, but it had a ton of dressing mixed in. Waitress was nice, but didn't check in very often. read more

Best place to eat most definetly the hand cut sirloin is amazing I always come back when I have the chance best place ever

Although i have been generally happy with Outback the last few visits, this last visit was not so pleasant. There were three of us; two had steaks that were tough and my ribs were so fat as to be almost unbeatable. The wine tasted as though the bottle had been opened several days earlier. It was, in sum, a bad enough experience that we are going elsewhere for our dinners. read more

This location has had a really bad start to their day. I arrived at noon, and had a customer as they walk out shout back to the floor that there was someone new there. The two people I could see in uniform looked up, but kept on doing whatever they were doing. I sat at the bar, and then waited about 5 min for anyone to acknowledge me, including the bartender (who did not greet me, or ask me for my drink - that was a different server). As it was lunch, I expected to see more servers out, but only saw maybe 3 for the first hour; a lot of dishes crashing in the kitchen though. A manager finally came out to lend a hand at the bar. While the bartender did the best he could, he was an individual who seemed to need to do one thing at a time (not the best option for working lunch in a busy restaurant). I was surprised there was no cash drawer for the bar - a group came in, and at least 5 people came to the bar to order drinks. Manager could not make change as the 'bar doesn't (officially) open til night'. That doesn't make sense. Bar also doesn't seem to have a supply of lunch menus, which is fine, except it was lunch time. More staff came out as more customers came into the restaurant, so I suppose the restaurant was fully staffed. I think I saw a young lady who might have been a hostess, but she was only ever seen coming out of the back, and either rolling silverware or compiling menus. Even the manager seemed overwhelmed. My food was fine - I had the onion petals and half a chicken quesadilla. Came out hot, and as ordered, promptly. read more

I used to love outbak. This like the last they advertised a special on tv. And it isnt in the restaurants anymore. That is so frustrating. So we looked around at the trash on the floor and stuff on chairs. Gosh for the prices the charge it should be. Clean. It was 500pm mo excuses. There was a staffstanding around talking at. The hostess stayion there were 6 people gathered talking instead of. Getting the fries and trash off thefloor. How dissappointing. read more

Geez, I think the reviews have been rather harsh. I was recently in the area for business and dropped by about 16:30 for an early dinner. The place was clean, the hostess was lovely, and my server (Shannon) was the bomb diggity. Shannon was lovely, attentive, and fabulous at her job. The food was exactly what I expected, hot, and served in a timely manner. I would recommend this Outback to anyone, looking for a home cooked meal, when your not at home . And please, ask for Shannon for great service! read more

Food was good but the waitress was horrible! She forgot to bring my husband's soup when she brought my salad - then we had to ask the server to bring his soup when she brought our dinners. If the waitress suddenly remembered and went to get it. Then to top it off, the waitress asked if we wanted separate checks - assuming she felt there was no way we could be a couple! Rude added to rude when she walked away throwing up her hands in disgust! Then she didn't take our AARP discount off - I had to remind her and she informed me that she was going to do it when I paid. No I want to see the discount is taken before I give my credit card. It's a shame - this is my hubby's favorite restaurant and it's close to our temporary housing for the next 6 months. Guess we'll try Longhorn's to see if they are a tad nicer to a mixed race couple. read more

I'll start out by saying that our waiter was friendly and helpful. That's about where the good experience ends. Went as a group of 4. Among our group, my friend's steak had to be sent back while my chicken had to be refired because they let it get cold. When they brought my food, they forgot one of my sides. The manager came by and offered to get the side for me (I said no because, at this point, I was too ticked with them to want more food from them). He offered a dessert, but we weren't interested. And that was it - no offer to comp us for reduce the cost of my meal by the cost of a side item. Just a bunch of apologies and a full-priced ticket for failure. When my friends and I meet again, it will not be here. read more

We have ordered delivery 2 times and every time it has been 45 minutes late. They quote you a time when you place your order and then call at that time and tell you its going to be late. I understand they can get busy but don't quote a time you know is not possible. We will not order from here again. So disappointing because this is one of the only restaurants that deliver to us. read more

We have been faithful outback diners for 20 years, but not any more. We have been back 3 times since the pandemic and it's consistently bad. They changed their fries & chicken, but both are worse. Their clam chowder has been replaced with a very spicy chili. The food overall lacks seasoning of any sort, and when we asked about it they said that was the new direction for the company. Very disappointing. Why change a model that was excellent? It wasn't broke. You shouldn't have changed it. read more

We ate at the Salisbury location tonight. Tried a fairly new item, the onion pedals. I've always thought the blooming onion was too greasy and spicy. Thought we'd try the onion pedals. Please, don't get suckered into this item. Also greasy, clumps of breading and few onion pedals. This was the scraps of pieces of previous fried whole onions. I'm sure you used to throw this away until someone came up with the idea to make money. Please don't run you business into the ground over this item, I should have taken a picture. Rest of the meal was very good(steak and pork medallions). Just take it off the menue. read more

We went for lunch at 12:50 pm on 100421 and the first red flag was not many cars in the parking lot. I now know why. When we came in, their were two people waiting to be greeted and not one employee was visible. After a few minutes I went looking for someone and there were 3 employees off to the side. They seemed irritated that we were interrupting their work. We left without eating. If you are going to open your business, there should be someone there to greet you. Just close your business if you don't have enough employees to operate. read more

I have never been to a Outback that was well ok for a chain !! until.... I went to this one and this was on several trips I kept telling myself it must be a bad night!!! The first night we called ahead for seating and whe still waited while other people that came in after us go a table??? could not figure that out. Then the server told us about how she and the help eat off of customers plates ( thats nasty) I had a steak the wife had chops . I told them not to over cook them and of course they did ! Terrible Then I got a take out and they forgot half my food ( I ordered online) And I went threw hoops just trying to get a meal then I went to the take out AGAIN AND THE SERVER was a pain by opening all the food ( I guess to make sure it was all there.... they should have done that as they put it in the bag inside. I contacted Better Business Bureau read more

Terrible curbside takeaway service. The past three times I used the take away service, I would have to go in to find someone to help me. This last time was the final straw...they completely forgot about my order because the to go ordering portion of the restaurant was not properly staffed. I was offered by one person a free meal but that quickly changed when another lady came back and charged me full price. It took me an hour to get my food. Plus it was a salad smh! read more

I needed a steak and wanted to go somewhere close to my hotel - yes it's a chain - big deal! Plenty of specials offered and all three of us ordered the prime rib with lobster tail - salads and sweet potato! Meat was cooked perfectly, but the tail was a bit over cooked - chewy. The sweet potato was like a dessert and was fantastic! The service was overwhelming as more then one staff member took care of our party always making sure everything was great! The place was on the busy side, but I still felt as though they were making sure I was enjoying my meal. Easy parking, place was clean - and price was reasonable! read more

My son and I ate at OutBack Salisbury, NC yesterday. He had a gift certificate from our cousin, because my son saved a kid drowning in the Yadkin River. I mentioned our "occasion," and OutBack was so nice . . . they gave him free dessert to boot. Our meal was really good. The cheese fries had a nice seasoning, and their dipping sauce is tasty. My son's burger was huge, and his mashed potatoes were just right. I had the new dip sandwich and really liked it. The Thunder From Down Under brownie with ice cream - wow - yum. Our server was Christopher. He could not have been nicer. He was spot on from the time we arrived until we left. He made a really good meal just great. I can't think of a thing that would have made it a better meal out. OutBack is a chain, of course, but they had that small town feel here in Salisbury. We will look forward to going back soon. read more
