Thomas our server was friendly , and very attentive giving us excellent customer service. We ordered the bloomin' onion which was delicious, surprising no grease. Very good flavor. We enjoyed a "shark attack" drink which was a raspberry flavored vodka, blue curaçao along with a plastic shark that was filled with grenadine. For our main course we chose was the 3 course meal for $14.99 A lot of food! You get a choice of soup or salad, an entrée that has alot of options to pick from. For dessert they offer you cheesecake with chocolate or raspberry topping. The food was really good. Can't wait to go back. read more

Nice restaurant, clean bathrooms, friendly staff. The food was really good, my wife commented how the last time she ate at an outback in Dallas, the quality of the foods poor. This was really good, my steak was cooked exactly how I ordered it and so was my wife's. I generally do not get the mixed or steamed vegetables because they are usually flavorless but these vegetables were amazing. I didn't care for having the TV on news channels. They happen to have it on CNN, I get inundated with news all the time when I go to eat I prefer to have on Sports, but that's just me. All in all it's a great restaurant and I would come here again. read more

Walked in and requested a table for two at 4:00 p.m. we were told it was really busy. It was not. Host person looked around and basically offered no options. I said, "no problem, we can go somewhere else." We did. read more

Food was terrible, server was overwhelmed. It seemed no one was helping anyone at this location. People would run food and not refill drinks or take empty dishes. Our drinks were empty a lot. Manager just stood at the kitchen door watching the whole place sink. Steaks were not of good quality and cooked poorly. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Shark Shirley temple - Steakhouses Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

My family especially enjoys a meal at Outback if Kylie is available. She makes us feel welcome as she assures that we get our meal exactly right. read more

Evans was our server (my bad If I didn't get his name correctly). We were greeted by everyone when we entered. Evans took excellent care of us. Food was excellent, if a lot for a pair of seniors. We got a piece of carrot cake to split when we got home. It too was excellent. My wife and I both had the small sirloin and they were done, as per our wishes, to perfection. The facility was spotless. And when we left everyone, including a passing kitchen staffer, said good by and wished us well. read more

This is a chain restaurant from Florida and it was my first time trying! We were really hungry after shopping at the San Marcos premium outlets and someone suggested here because they had lunch specials. I got the outback burger. Though it was a decent size, I only ate half because it was pretty salty. Combined with the sourness of pickles, and sweetness of ketchup, it was just an unappetizing mix (and I usually do eat burgers with ketchup and pickles). The steak with mashed potatoes is so small. It should not be a dish for adults. Maybe it would have been better to price it higher for a bigger portion. Pasta is ok. Oily. read more

I'm getting so tired of having mediocre food at inflated prices! We ate here for an early dinner last Sunday and were disappointed. The restaurant wasn't busy so we were seated right away. Our waitress was decently friendly, but she kept disappearing for long periods of time, and I think she only had 1 other table, so that was just weird. I ordered their smoked bourbon drink, which was the only really good think about our meal. We both got the 6oz steak and chicken meal, I got mine cooked medium with a side salad and baked potato and my husband got his cooked medium well with the mac and cheese and a baked potato. The food took a very long time to come out which, again, was strange because there were only a few tables with diners at that time. My steak was cooked correctly, but I was unimpressed with the shrimp sauce I paid extra for on top. The shrimp were overcooked and it lacked flavor. The steak itself was ok, as was the chicken and baked potato. The side salad was not good at all, with extremely bitter white iceberg lettuce making up the majority of the salad. I didn't finish it. My husband had to send his steak back because it was quite literally rare (straight up purple inside). Took us a minute to flag down our waitress because, as I said before, she kept disappearing. She took one look at the steak and apologized, saying it was defintely rare and she would "have them throw it back on" to cook it correctly. I'm sorry, what? How are you going to take a steak that is already cut open and had a couple bites out of it (the edge was more done) and then cook it more? That is just going to dry it out, that is not how one cooks steak! So unprofessional. Literally at least 10 minutes later (after I had already finished eating) she brought back out the exact same steak which was, surprise, now dry and overcooked. There was no attempt to make it right, at all, no discount, nothing. For the price we were paying, this is not ok. We are not picky and over critical, I swear! We honestly just want mildly friendly service with food of an acceptable quality equal to the price paid. This is becoming increasingly rare, resulting in us eating at home a lot more. We will not be back. read more

We were in the area doing some shopping and wanted some steak and lobster. Service was quick to take our order and we were seated right away as well. The place wasn't packed which was nice. Our grand-baby was with us but he was knocked out lol after a long day at school. Even though he was sleeping on my lap the server made sure to ask if we are ordering anything for him and we did so he can eat later. We got steak, lobster tail, baked potato, rice and mashed potatoes. Both our orders tasted great and freshly made and cooked to perfection. We had no issues, enjoyed our meal and staff was friendly. I recommend this location especially if you're shopping at the outlets read more

Annnnd we're back! Came in for lunch and dinner while in town and as always our servers were top notch and our food came quickly and deliciously. Also thank you for gifting me one of your cute little Koala's. They usually come with some specialty beverages, but they are not something I would usually like to drink. Too sweet for me. So thanks for the sweet gesture. It's so precious I love it read more

Love me some Coconut Shrimp so that started off the meal. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. Sirloin and Bloomin Chicken - Sirloin cooked medium was on point. A little heavy on seasoning but a good steak. The chicken was cooked in breading from the Bloomin Onion so it was an awesome meal all the way around. Topped off with the Blackberry Sangria and you have another meal done did! read more

Great service, great food. Bloomin atmosphere! It was an Aussie of a time. We will be back.

Disgusting, Disappointing, Disaster. This place sucks. The food was so gross. I ordered the quesadilla. The mushrooms somehow didn't taste like mushrooms, the cheese tasted like plastic and I just couldn't take more than a few bites. The mushroom appetizer was going to be fine but it was so oily I could taste the grease to the point it was like car oil. My friend's salad was gross. Like how do you mess up a salad. At least her soup was ok. My baked potato was ok but you can't really screw up a potato. The service was ok the guy was nice but he came around only a few times and there was like nobody in there. Obviously that's probably not his fault so that's probably the least of my problems. I liked the vibe of the place alright though. Anyways I don't know why I payed money for this place honestly and that point they should have payed me to eat that disgusting thing they call food. DONT EAT HERE IT SUCKS read more

After shopping at the outlet stores, we wanted to get dinner and saw this spot right in the middle of the center! The drinks were solid! The complimentary bread is super soft and fluffy too. Ordered the grilled chicken plate with a side vegetables and rice. The chicken was cooked well and had the perfect amount of seasoning! Our waiter was really nice, and the tables, floors, and bathrooms were very clean. A great casual place to eat American food after a long day of shopping read more

A Salad with a bit of chicken with head lettuce for over $18? How about a sirloin that was so tough I thought it was a rubber ball. Even had trouble cutting it with a sharp serrated knife? NEVER has Outback been so bad. They lost my business of well over 20 years as a regular. read more

We had Eric when we went. SUPER SUPER nice and friendly to all of us, especially to my son. He was absolutely amazing. Always came to check on us, made sure our food was brought out at a great time and he had amazing time management and overall an amazing attitude and vibe. We will DEFINITELY be coming back to sit in his section again. Best service i have ever had in a restaurant. read more

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. But what really made the night was our server, Mia H. She was an absolute star, with a smile that could light up the entire restaurant. Mia was attentive, knowledgeable, and made perfect recommendations. The food? Oh. My. Goodness. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection, the sides were delicious, and the desserts were to die for. If you're looking for a top-notch meal and service, head to Outback Steakhouse and ask for Mia H! You won't regret it! read more

Waiter Carolena was really nice and attended. Food overall was 6/10 but the service was great!

Me and my family came here for my little brother's birthday, and I had never been here. I would first like to say, omg!! The food was amazing! Our server helped us get a few blooming onions by having us download the app, which was really sweet. He also gave my brother 2 scoops of ice cream for his birthday. Our server was awesome his name was Joel. The food was insane. My burger was full of flavor it was so perfect. My family had no issues with their food. Everything was good. My sister said her chicken tenders were so juicy and tender that she loved them. The whole atmosphere of this place was incredible. It was welcoming, comfortable, and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Outback had a steak and lobster Mac & cheese special that I ordered. The serving size was very generous. It also came with a side of my choice. Service was on-par and actually couldn't have been better. We were a party of six and everyone was pleased with their food. There is no happy hour, but on the other hand, there are drink and food specials that are good at all times. This is even better! read more

Bella was our server and she was fantastic. 10/10 highly recommend. She was friendly and held great conversation. Very relatable. The food was soooooo good. Our steaks came out perfect. Lunch time was the perfect time to come. The music was a vibe and i got a duck in my lemonade. Can't get any better. read more

Delicious. Had the three course meal. Baked potato soup, bloomin burger, and chocolate cheesecake. We shared the koala punch and part of the reason why it was purchased was the koala. The restaurant was very clean and the management checked on us. Three times. The server was super nice. And the food runners helped out as well. It was like they were a team. The only reason it wasn't five stars is my issue. I'm larger and I was seated at a booth and it was a tight fit. read more

This particular review is for the San Marcos, Texas location: My wife tricked me into the truck under the lure of beer and dinner. Little did I know that she was heading for the outlet mall in San Marcos. Have you ever seen the old men sitting in the chairs at the mall and just staring at each other? I wasn't gonna be one of those guys. Once I realized her devious plan, I quickly hopped on Yelp! to construct a counter-assault. Outback Steakhouse sits dead center in this outdoor mall battleground, so it wasn't terribly hard to convince her to drop me off while she tactically cleared all of the stores on a door-to-door frontal assault. I sat at the bar (duh) and was quickly greeted by one of the Bartenders, Makenzie. Swamped already even prior to my arrival, she was directing her bar backs and other bartenders like a conductor trying to find the perfect balance between the brass and the woodwinds. Upon arrival of my wife, several hundred dollars later, I settled for the bone-in ribeye, cooked medium, with a loaded baked potato and brussel sprouts as the sides. The steak was not quite as thick as you'd expect for a bone-in, but was absolutely cooked to perfection. The loaded baked potato was horrible (think, cooked last week and re-heated), but the brussel sprouts...oh those sprouts! Be still my heart. Baked potato be damned, those sprouts made it for it. I took a photo, but only after I had massacred those things halfway. Apologies for sub-standard photography, but I was about seven beers in and didn't want to put down my fork. An overall pretty decent experience. One potato away from a five star review! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Absolutely fantastic brussel sprouts! - Steakhouses Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The service was great, the hosts and wait staff did great. The food however was absolutely not worth the price. Ordered a burger and it arrived as a puddle. After two bites we were unable to eat anymore. The deserts were insanely small and tasted worse than something you could get at a convenience store all while being 9$! The lemonade was nauseatingly sweet. We left Almost completely full plates and was shocked that none of the staff asked if there were any issues with the food. At home now feeling nauseous and ripped off. read more

I came to outback earlier today... was having a decent day but Ian made it 5x better #greatservice #evenbetterdrinks read more

The ambiance here is usually darker with spotlights and little bits of natural light. It is a louder environment and lots of people are usually moving through the restaurant. This visit I had the blooming onion, blooming fried chicken, a side of Brussels sprouts, and macaroni and cheese. I would say outback overall was a lot better from 2016-2018 but my experience here was still good. My waiter checked on me frequently and accommodated all of my needs. While the food is on the greasier side it is good. They use seasoning on everything which is a plus. I found the Brussels sprouts to be under cooked but they gave me a nice portion and the macaroni and cheese was amazing! They still serve the brown bread with butter and it's decent but not my favorite texture or flavor. If I did eat outback again I would have to dine in because I don't think takeout would uphold the same quality. Still, I'm unsure if i'll come back. Good food, and service but I don't think it matches the price and going out of my way to eat there. read more

I need to find at Outback more often. I ordered the Kookaburra wings and Caesar salad and it was phenomenal! Tip: Request to have your wings cooked longer for a crispy/delish taste! Oh & the complimentary brown bread was good too. The customer service was great. There was no wait and our server was sweet. The restaurant was clean and wasn't too noisy. See you sooner than later Outback! read more

The waiter was excellent, bending over backwards to get me what I wanted. Because of dental reasons. I had to order menu items in a special way. I ordered a wedge side salad with honey mustard. I also ordered a baked potato with butter only. For an entree, since you don't offer a hamburger steak, I had to settle for a hamburger patty. It wasn't very thick, but it was sufficient. My drink was a diet cocoa. The cost came to more than I could have imagined. I tipped the waiter 20% and left. I probably won't be back. read more

sat at the bar since it was just me . I ordered but the bartender wasn't paying attention n I got my food wrong , she made it up for it . N I finished it . I wanted to pick up my check but after waiting a bit without either bartender looking back , I went to the bathroom because it was a pretty big meal . That's when I came out and I seen the bartender at the guys bathroom, seemed like he was waiting on me making sure I didn't run off or something. Something about me seeing that didn't set well with me my tap was just $44 .. I paid my tab tip $10 but I didn't like the way I was followed. The guy was looking at my direction when I opened the door to the stall . I don't think I'll be back to this location. read more

I had a really great lunch experience here. I visited around 2:30pm on a Monday and the host held the door open for me upon entering and leaving which I thought was a nice gesture. The bartender is who served me my meal and he was also very professional and provided great service. He was very attentive to me and brought drink refills without being prompted. read more

Oh no! You can improve on EVERYTHING!!! Empty tables everywhere yet there's a 45 minute wait. Four adults ordering burgers steak and salads. Side salad a one burger show up and 25 minutes later the steak, other burger and steak salad show up. Just weird. Manager (Colton) came over and apologized with an offer of a free dessert which wasn't provided. Constant requests for refilling drinks. Waiter Tuki was very pleasant but the kitchen is costing him huge tips. Still empty tables and folks sitting out front. AND we were celebrating my mom's 89th birthday. She was pissed... read more
