We enjoyed just another excellent meal at the Outback Steakhouse in Elliott City Maryland. We were very impressed by the young man who served us, his name was Elijah M! He was very professional, very kind and had a wonderful disposition. After having served with a major airline in Customer Service for 53 years, I do not find it difficult to identify a Natural! I have been carrying around my receipt in my pocket for the past couple of months with the intent of sharing this 'Orchid Letter' with you, but I failed as I was engulfed by the Holidays! My receipt number was 0198 and we were served on 11/15/2023. The Ellicott City Outback is also gifted with a wonderful and professional Manager named Brandon, hopefully he will 'get the message' that his has hired the right employee for the right job! Outback, thanks for all that you do! read more

Unlike a other location at 14 Mile Rd, this location had no wait, and immediately had some tables for us. We got some delicious bread, appetizers, and some plates for us. Even she gave us a nice desserts that my mom tried. Thank you Brandi! read more

Over an hour and a half wait when they told my party of 8 "should be 30 minutes" on my moms birthday inconsiderate terrible pieces of crap.

I love Outback but hadn't tried out this location before today. We did call-ahead seating and only had to wait about ten minutes. Our waitress brought us bread first and no water, and we did have to wait a bit for water, but after that she was excellent - she brought us refills and extra bread without even being asked. I ordered the 8 oz Outback center cut steak with mashed potatoes and a house salad, and everything was tasty. We also split an order of the Bushman shrooms, which are always tasty - the dipping sauce and the batter are the same as the Bloomin' Onion. My only complaint about this Outback is that the bathroom stalls are really small... It was hard to get in and out of them. read more

The food was good , our service(Chasity) was good and the ambiance was good. Chasity was very friendly and helpful to us.

I was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. As a rule I don't usually order seafood at a steak restaurant as it never comes out right. The lobster tail was so good! One of the best I've had. Juicy and buttery goodness. I always order my steak rare and it seems like no one can ever get it right. They did a great job! Not overcooked at all. Taking a star off bc it took awhile to get our food, and it was a Thursday night, so not that busy. All and all a good experience tho. read more

OMG!! Talk about amazing food and even better service! Nena B was the best. Always checking in and making our business dinner fun and relaxing. She was quick with jokes, and serious about food service. Made sure the meal was cooked to order. Provided excellent suggestions to compliment the meal. My coworker and I are so stuffed and can not wait to have Nena B as our server again. Great Hire Outback! read more

Came in for the lunch special and i was not that impressed. The unlimited soup and salad only had one soup and the rest were all up charges. Our server vanessa seemed to be VERY dull, as a waitress myself it did seem like she may have had an attitude or maybe that is her actual personality of just being a smart ass.... I'm not sure but god bless her. Overall i did leave full so i cannot day too much so hey! read more

Our waitress chasity was a great server excellent job will be back and hopefully have u as a waitress again. Thanks

I love getting takeout at Southgate Outback. My food is always great and the order is always correct and out in time.

Ordered the Natural Cut (bone-in) Ribeye at medium rare and was not disappointed. Delicious! Had a side salad and broccoli as well with the meal. It wasn't noisy since it a little bit after the normal dinner hour. Service was great too! Thanks Amber. read more

Got back to hotel and opened it to this. Just know if you get food to go this is what it's looking like... i also would like to mention that they couldn't give me a receipt for some reason like refused to said they couldn't without my physical card since we had ordered over phone and gave card info over phone. This is an issue for my tax purposes for work. The managers name is Domin I believe he said and assured me this is how the food comes but I am not impressed and also kind of grossed out about the micro plastics involved in cooking my food inside plastic in a microwave. read more

Normally i have great things to say about outback steakhouse, but my last visit was unsatisfactory. My steak was barely cooked, and my lobster was cold and probably under cooked as well. I sent the steak back and it came back charred and tasted like shoe leather. This isn't normal of this location, i usually have great food and service. read more

What a Great experience! We were immediately greeted and sat at our favorite server's table (Lou) We ordered a blooming onion which tasted awesome. After our blooming onion our salads arrived (see photo). The presentation is right up there with a 5 star restaurant. Next came the entrees which tasted just as good as they looked. Bridgette (manager) came over to check on our satisfaction. The entire experience was 5 stars. Thanks everyone read more

Went here for a work team lunch today and had a great experience. Cindy was our server and was prompt and engaging. The food was very good as well. Appetizers came out promptly and drinks were kept refilled. read more

Food was okay small portions and needs a cleaning in the restrooms. I did not feel comfortable taking my daughter in there it needs to be cleaned. Staff was great. read more

Just after Halloween in 2019, I went to eat & had lost my driver's license while taking my son to trick or treat. When I gave the server my veteran's ID, a manager showed up to say she didn't believe it because it said "Healthcare" on the card. That's to indicate I'm a disabled veteran. I returned months later & the same manager was working, who I didn't recognize at first due to my military service-connected disability, where she was obviously aware of who I was & made many inappropriate facial expressions & hushed conversations to the server. I indeed contacted corporate but covid happened immediately after. Idk if she was ever penalized for her disrespectful treatment of me but she had a palpable amount of entitlement & privileged around her. I have only been back once since then despite it being the only chain restaurant I enjoy. read more

Would not recommend this location. Wait times are ridiculous, even if you go online to book a time slot, you will wait 30mins or longer. This is actually the last time I will go to this Outback Restaurants or maybe any Outback restaurants. This has happened to me every time I have come to this location. read more

This places food quality is awful. Pretty sure they make fake reviews. Avoid at all cost. Service was good. The food just is not worth the price. Not sure how this can be called steakhouse.The bone in my strip was the worst steak i've ever had in my life. Place was clean I guess. Will not return read more

Order a $25 entree with a baked potato only to be told when my steak came out that I would have to wait 25 minutes for a baked potato. No response form the manager read more

the food here is kinda sussy.. my friend had the rice and there were literally hairs and rubber in it. he'd been starving all day and thats what he was served.. he's also very allergic to dogs and he was seated almost DIRECTLY across from a family who'd brought their furby. AND on top of that.. there was a fingernail and a used bandaid on his seat. wtf outback..? read more

Typical outback. Usually the service is great but last night around 10:30, our waitress seemed very distracted and she didn't give barely any eye contact because she kept staring at the door while taking our order and I noticed she was doing it to the other tables too. She wasn't really trying to be friendly either. Last night (and other times we've come), our steaks were very undercooked. I asked for medium rare and it was definitely rare with some of it maybe even being raw. My boyfriend asked for it medium and his was cooked similar to mine. We did not inform anyone about it because it was late and we didn't want to have to eat the rest of our meal without the steak. The rest of our food was great but it seems like most times we've been to this outback, our steaks just aren't cooked anywhere close to right. So we ate our steaks and they still tasted okay. We didn't get sick or anything but it's just disappointing that our steaks are almost never cooked right when we go to outback. My lobster tail, on the other hand, was delicious as I've been craving sea food in the worst way lately. Also, for once, the bread that they give you to start with was exceptionally good. The reason I say "for once" is because usually this part of the meal is just blah for some reason. So 3 stars due to our steaks being consistently undercooked and the service being nothing special last night. read more

My new favorite place! The last few months, I have been making up for 33 years worth of missing out on Outback. We have had a couple of mishaps, but they are more than willing to fix any and all issues. That on its own is most impressive. Everybody makes mistakes, but being willing to fix them is priceless. I cannot say that enough. They have the best chicken and broccoli of all the restaurants I have been to. The cheesecake is amazing as well. Our kids love the bread that comes with every meal as well. I'm allergic to shellfish, but my daughter tells me their shrimp is delightful. Husband loves the burgers, and our boys love the chicken tenders. There's pretty much something for everybody. You can't go wrong here!! read more

Food was ok, waitress got our order wrong and it took a while to get it. The trip to the bathroom was the worst, let's just say from the looks of the bathroom and the not even mediocre food & service I won't be returning. read more

No signs to let you know where to wait for your carry out order! waited in a parking spot across from the door they bring the food out for over 30 minutes after receiving the text it would be out soon! After calling a waitress that brought out an order to a car parked in the driveway next to the building she told me that is the line! $50 meal for my mom on Mother's Day had to be warmed up in the microwave! How much could a couple signs cost! Never ever Again!!! read more

The greeters didn't smile when we arrived and acted like we were bothering them. They certainly did not make us feel welcome at the Southgate Outback compared to the Novi Outback. Kind of disappointed with the lack of greeting but we will see when we are served whether they will make up for the greeter situation. We were told 15-25 and we are at 40 minutes now and still waiting. read more

Today at outback my friends and I decided we were gonna eat after a long day of golf. We put our name on the online waiting list so we could go get changed and ready. We even thought coming at 8 would be better to avoid the wait. When we got here to check in, they told us that even though we had our name on the list we would still have to wait the same amount of time as anyone else. Then when we thought it was our time to sit, they called 2 parties that arrived after us, causing us to wait even longer. It took at least 15 mins for our waitress to even address us, take our drink orders and appetizers. our appetizer came out and we pulled a hair out of it. it then took an extra 45 mins to have our food come out. Very unpleased with this restaurant and probably will go to texas roadhouse next time instead. BUT our waitress made sure we had full drinks at all times. so that was good read more

My go to place starting 2001. What happened? Please tell me under new management and that's the reason , because the owner I remember made sure that every product that came out of that kitchen was beautiful! I always had the prime rib at night. Excited for the prime rib French dip.! It was all mushrooms and onion with bits of old beef! Instead of au jus, they were lazy and put out a dish of French onion soup. On top of all the onions already in the sandwich! For $15.49! Traded for the old reliable coconut shrimp! Or should I say , cocktail shrimp. I try to support local restaurants, but have to say goodbye to this one. At least carrabbas is still good! read more

Outback never disappoints! I'm not one for typical chain restaurants but I always leave full and happy with this place. I came on a busy Saturday night and had to wait 30 minutes but was treated with a sample of complimentary volcano shrimp. Delicious! I ordered the 6oz sirloin and the strawberry sangria. My advice to you - GET THE SANGRIA! Holy cow it was so good. I'm not a big drinker but I drank that fast. As always, their sirloin is delicious and juicy!! It comes with a side of fries and a salad beforehand. I always have a great experience here! read more

I haven't been to the Southgate location in some time and it's hard to believe this business gets packed. I went there for my twin boys birthdays and we all had dinner. My medium rare prime rib was like leather, my wife's chicken was dried out and my sons sirloins were also very poor cuts of meat. The meat was very bland. Tried going to their site to leave some feedback but they have no area to contact them. Very poor meal for the money I paid. Are used to go here all the time about 10 years ago under a different proprietor and it was a much different experience. read more

We've had better experiences here, but this manager is awesome. Explained that they had large groups from prom & were trying new techniques to improve efficiency. We so appreciated her taking the time to talk to us & honestly share what they were dealing with. We'll try again another day. read more

Matthew B was our server He was very attentive and professional. I would say he was outstanding but then all the servers there are that good. Their servers are top-notch. I've eaten there maybe 35 to 45 times through the years. Heck I even proposed to my wife in this restaurant 16 years ago. The steaks have always been good. But five years ago or so, probably longer, they added a wood-fired cooking process. Since then at least some of their steaks are wood-fire cooked which really makes the Outback "steakhouse" moniker accurate. I usually order a very specifically cooked steak. It's not super complicated, but it takes a little extra care in the kitchen to not over-cook it. I ask for medium-rare doneness Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh style means the outside needs to be charred with almost a burnt look, while the inside is quite pink. This is not easy to do as I know from making them at home myself. But at home of course I don't have ten steaks an hour to keep track of. Many lower end places with steaks haven't even heard of a Pittsburgh steak. But this Outback never blinks its eye and always knows what that means. What's more - charred outside/pink inside is difficult to do as I said. This Outback has only missed the mark once in all those visits and immediately fixed it. If you have never been to an Outback, please make sure you try their famous Bloomin' Onion appetizer. read more

not even worth one star. service was incredibly slow, and I don't know why since our waitress didn't even bring us anything, only took our orders. Our meal came out cold. my wife ordered the filet and I had the sirloin. both tasted like they were cooked yesterday and were reheated. First time there and will never be going back read more
