We called ahead to make sure they had prime rib, but by the time we arrived--just 15 minutes later--they were down to one left. It was the smaller cut and only available in medium. Grrrrr. We went for it anyway, but honestly, I wish we hadn't. Prime rib really shines at medium‑rare for us, and this one just didn't hit the mark. Their new cookie skillet was a bright spot though--warm, gooey, and genuinely good. The complimentary bread, though... I think it's shrinking. I remember it being taller and resembling a loaf. Today's looked more like a bread burrito in stature. During desert, the power went out. It took a while for everything to reboot including the cash registers so we could pay, which added to the overall hiccups of the night. Despite the food misses, the service was solid as usual--Outback's staff is consistently friendly and attentive. One last annoyance: two failed attempts to log into the rewards app on the table tablet, and it locked us out completely. Update: business owner replied in like literally seconds of me hitting submit for my review. How is that possible? read more

I got reminded so hard why I haven't been here in years... The cocktails were so sugary. But such a cute koala duck that I paid extra for, of course. The appetizers were undercooked. Wished the bloomin' onion was crispier and less flaky. The shrimp was definitely undercooked and I thought we were going to get sick. The steak, was not medium rare, more like medium well, and definitely overcooked. The bread even looked burnt. I guess after trying so many new places with so many better options, this chain restaurant that has been around for ages does not meet my standards and is no longer up to par with my expectations when going to a dining establishment. Only reason why I gave this a 2-star because the waiter was really trying and I support the hustle. He still got a good tip. Probably won't be coming back to Outback. read more

I started becoming a regular here because of the good food, service, clean restaurant, and the soft environment. No loud music, no large crowd, plenty of parking, a nice place to enjoy dinner and talk without trying to yell to communicate. Great place to be. *Message to cooperate*: I was here several days ago and one of the toilet's in the men's restroom seemed to be broken. It just ran running water, probably a gallon every few minutes. I notified the management. Many days later (today) it still seems to be leaking water. If you get a huge water bill this month plz don't blame the employees or staff. lol. Let's try to get this fixed. I'll be continuing to come here as it is fast becoming one of my favorite places to stop for dinner. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Pleasantly surprised! Came in about 5:15 PM Saturday. They were not busy and they let us choose our table. Staff quickly helped get high chairs for the Littles and the adults our drink orders. I did not get the name of the young man who was our waiter, but he had a great sense of humor ;was tall trim, and had curly hair. this young man really stayed on task ,and anything we asked for was brought quickly. He made sure drinks were kept refilled without asking ,and to make sure that we had warm bread and everything else we needed, without ever asking ;excellent service on his part.. our food came out in reasonable time and it is definitely one of the best steaks I have had in a very long time, for a very reasonable price ,considering everything that is included .the bread that we got was hot and fresh with both regular and honey butter. Salad soups, and sides were all very good. The best mashed potatoes and ribeye I have had in forever . Generous amount of food for the price ,as well.. we left about 7 PM and the place was getting packed ,and now we know why. Definitely the best value in the area, for the quality of food that we got, including a delicious chocolate dessert to share.. Great customer service, in a clean , inviting environment. This Outback is a place we look forward to returning to, soon!!, read more

I love Outback. They always have a great meal for a reasonable price. At least once or twice a month always love this restaurant.

I've never felt so compelled to write a review about a chain restaurant in my life, especially for one as popular as Outback. I don't feel like people typically seek out reviews for restaurants like this because I just assume everyone has eaten at one at some point in their life. However, the service and experience at this location is incredible and deserves to be recognized. First, I've never been to a restaurant where a host is so incredibly friendly and lets you know to come find them at the front should you need anything. That's exactly what Cash did for us and my entire table was impressed. He was so kind and genuine that I truly believe he would've helped us with whatever we needed. He also let us know that they have a free to join rewards program that allows you to accumulate points to eventually get money off your next bill. I appreciated that because I had no idea that they had their own program prior to coming in! I seriously regret not remembering my waitresses first name and not asking again before we left (though I do know it started with a V). She checked on us consistently without being overbearing, was extremely friendly, and always made sure we had what we needed. This is by far the best Outback location I've ever been to, and that's saying a lot considering I previously reviewed one in Las Vegas that I really loved. The waitress let us know that she was also bartending that night so she'd be happy to make us a $7 cocktail if we were interested. Seven. Dollar. Cocktail. It wasn't even happy hour! It's just a part of their menu that you can order anytime and the selection is really great! I did order an Aussie Rum Punch and it was delicious. Our meal was super good as well. I'd like to highly recommend that whatever steak you order, you include the garlic butter. I wholeheartedly believe it's worth the additional charge. Really, everything was great from restaurant cleanliness to the friendliness of the staff and the tastiness of the food. This is definitely going to be one of my go to dinner date restaurants in the area. Well done Outback Shenandoah, I'm your new biggest fan! read more

I have been coming here for years. no more. I'm done. Sat at the bar to enjoy a cold adult beverage and have some dinner but the music was blaring so loud from the kitchen that I paid my tab exited. It is obnoxious and overwhelming. unprofessional to say the least. the manager should be fired for allowing it to happen. What really sucks is that the bartender is amazing and the staff are really great. read more

This experience was one of my worst by far. Steak was tougher than your dad's belt. The service was good, must've been an apology for the cow I had to consume. read more

Good service portions are not that great and taste is mediocre. Steak should have steak taste and sides should have their individual taste. Kind of disappointed. Plenty of parking space, appeared to be family friendly place, good for large group. We are not sure if we're gonna return to this facility again. And above all at the time we went. it wasn't busy at all, they only had four tables occupied. I believe there are better places to eat steak at reasonable price, just as their prices. read more

10 of us went on a Saturday afternoon at 4 pm. We were seated immediately and greeted shortly afterwards. We ordered the bloomin' onion, Aussie cheese fries and the bloomin fried shrimp. The latter was my favorite as it was lightly fried with a unique flavor. I was beyond hungry and ordered the 16 Oz Outback style prime rib added a wedge salad and a lobster tail with 2 sides. I chose the baked potato and the baked potato soup. As you can see in the picture the prime rib was ginormous. The seasoning was so good that I gave someone else in my group a slice and their comment was "I'm ordering that next time." I ordered it MR and while it was a little rare in the middle it was perfect to take home for leftovers. The added lobster tail was cooked perfectly. The staff was so great! It was my 11 yo niece's birthday. The manager took a picture for us and also came back by to ask if she liked her presents. Our server got the entire staff to sing her the Outback birthday song. We had such a great experience! read more

My waiter Gab was amazing! The service was great and the food was quick! It was a quiet mid week dinner so glad I was able to find a table in the corner to work and eat! Food was decent, on par for what I expect from an Outback! I always enjoy the Cobb with shrimp and no bacon! read more

Beware of just checking the percentage of the tip on your bill. Two different times at this steakhouse they have included items that I did not order in figuring the % tip. This happened at another Outback in Houston. At the another Outback in Houston, I ordered and then changed the order. when I looked at the % tip on the bill it was figured on the amount including the first order that I cancelled. The manager said that was company policy. read more

Ordered on my way back from Dallas. Order was ready on time. I arrived a few minutes early.. curbside attendant offered a dog biscuit for my Husky, I expected a tiny milk bone, it was a big 6 inch, at least 3 ounce bone, it was the dogs bday coincidentally so she was happy. Steak was delicious.. with garlic butter and mushrooms. Was a great ending for a long drive. read more

Everything was over cooked. The staff were very friendly, so I feel bad leaving a poor review, but the kitchen isn't helping them.

I ordered online with ease. When I pulled up, it said click on the link sent via text and put my spot number in. Only problem is that I didn't receive a link. I went in to pick up which I don't mind at all. Overall, very quick, easy and friendly service. not to mention the food is read more

Due to hurricane Beryl the power went out in our home and were unable to cook. My family and I decided to dine out and luckily this location was open. There was a wait but that's to be expected considering the circumstances. However, the host was attentive even throughout the chaos. Our waiter Richard was new, apparently it was his first day and he did such an amazing job. He communicated clearly there would be a wait but brought us out the drinks, apps and bread in a timely manner. Our food was hot and delicious. We also noticed that the entire team had such a great attitude. It was such a busy night and you can tell they've been thru it but they kept a positive attitude throughout it all and never once was there a tone or any attitude. No matter how stressed they were, plates broke or drinks spilled they kept smiling. I honestly think this says a lot abut how great the management team must be as well. All the employees seemed focused, worked as team and were very pleasant. I'm grateful for the great service and delicious food after such a scary day. read more

Oops I did it again! Second time eating at the Outback in Shenandoah and I thoroughly enjoyed it! $23 bucks for a great lunch with a tall beer and fantastic service! read more

Great food but location is far away and brining food home is difficult for us. Great steaks for the price though.

Everything at this Outback was great. Service was quick, food was fresh and hot. The hot honey shrimp appetizers were on spot. read more

Look, its Outback. Food is what it is. But oh my goodness the service here was absolutely incredible. My sister had just graduated high school and her one request was to get Outback (why?). We left the graduation at 10:15 and got there at 10:40, chairs on the tables and everyone ready to leave. The staff assured us it was no issue at all and eagerly sat us. Service was impeccable, and we felt truly cared for. Thank you to everyone there for making my sister's graduation special! The circumstances were not ideal, and most other restuarants would turn you away, but the fact that they were eager to ensure we had a special night really made me want to go out of my way to give this spot 5 stars. read more

Honestly, not very impressed. For 2 people our bill was over $100 not including tip. We got the hot honey shrimp, and it was over fried, almost burnt. My husband got a steak (which was good), and I got the chicken (it was alright, not great but not bad). We had the cheesecake for dessert. If you get the cheesecake don't get the sauce. It's got a strange twang and isn't great so we ate around it. We didn't have any alcoholic beverages. The service was good and the place is clean (which is why this gets 2 stars and not 1). Overall, it was a mediocre dinner and not worth the price by any means. I won't be going back. read more

I absolutely loved our server Daniel. S! He was so good at getting us everything we needed. He paid amazing attention to our table & gave a great recommendation on my friend's steak. The service, music and energy was on point. Loved this! It was my first time at Outback. I'll be back!! read more

A tax was added for mixed beverages. I had a glass of wine. The tax was over $1. This is an additional charge that no other restaurant charges. I spoke to the manager. This is deceptive I won't go back. Service was mediocre. Wedge salad was great. read more

Prime rib steak was poor quality and mostly tasteless. The staff were all very young and inexperienced. They were nice kids but should be working at McDonalds. The interior resembled a second rate hamburger joint. Salt Grass is a better place. read more

Gave us a promotional free appetizer on them very nice, It was very good ambience, had good sauce, good steak, 5 stars reccomended.

Outback Steakhouse has been one of my favorite restaurants. This is a place for steaks, a must go to. I recommend there wings even tho they are an appetizer it's a filling dish. This evening I ordered a ribeye which was perfectly cooked ( med-rare) with Broccoli and a fully loaded baked potato, Cheese bacon fries, and Coconut Shrimp. All the dishes were perfectly cooked and were delicious. Definitely a must go to. read more

I was surprised.to see that this place did not have better ratings. I had great service and the food was delicious. I stopped here for a late dinner ony way home. I was pinched for time, but didn't want fast food. The greeter was pleasant and they accommodated me when I asked for outdoor seating. It was pretty busy for weekday. My server was fast and attentive. I ordered a potato soup to start with. It was delicious and I also ordered the 6oz. Sirloin with a side salad, loaded potato (yes, more potato), and added some coconut shrimp. I couldn't finish it all, bit everything was cooked just right and I had not enjoyed a steak in a while, so it was nice to have one that was cooked just as I like. I would definitely visit again. read more

We had a group of 12 people for a Birthday at around 5:30 on Saturday. Seated almost immediately, served fairly quick with only a few mistakes. The food was good for the most part. The server was super sweet and cheerful. We ate and talked (with drinks) until 8:00 then the issue with the checks....what a nightmare. We had 6 separate checks....not that strange with a group that size. It took an entire hour and 2 of our people helping to get the checks right. I have been on this earth a long time and have been to thousands of restaurants and never had an issue like this. We left the restaurant finally at 9:00PM. Probably will never return. read more

Amazing service at this Outback! From the moment we walked in... the host, the server, all the other staff- they were all truly amazing! The food was great and it was very clean! read more

Our experience today at Outback on I45 in Shenandoah was exceptional!! Mainly because our waitress "Denai" was Professional, Kind, Quick, and very knowledgeable on making her customers comfortable and making sure everything was cooked just right. One of the best wait staff we have had anywhere!! read more

The food was subpar. Not what I remember Outback to be! The bloomin onion saved the day but the steak was not the best.

It went down tonight at Outback Steakhouse!! Y'all the meal is a steal for the price. If you want a seasoned steak and tasty sides, slide in to Outback. The one in Shenandoah ( I don't know who's in the kitchen at the other locations) It should also be noted, I observed the restaurant follow protocols to ensure patrons safety. Tip: Arrive early, especially on the weekend. Request to sit outside if anxious of dining inside; the seating outside is adequate. read more

Stopped in on a Rainy Tuesday. Went early, around 6pm. Not busy so we decided to Sit at booth in bar area. We had great service from our server Breezy and a training server Shelby. Both were very pleasant to engage with. He ordered 11 oz with lobster and shrimp I had the garlic medallions (my fav) with fries and salad. Food was perfectly cooked to order. Everything went down well with our bottle of 14 hands, better value to get bottle if you're both having wine. Highly recommend this location- we visit often. Ask for breezy or Shelby!
