Went to dinner with my husband and daughter on a Tuesday night. Took over 45 mins to get two burgers and a chicken sandwich. Breading is WAY too salty and fries were cold. Ordered the Thunder and Lightening for dessert and the butter cake was cold and hard. $86 down the drain. Never again. read more

We are having our kitchen remodeled. We went for burgers and did a to go order. I always go here for steak and blooming onions. The hamburgers were delicious. This will be my place to go for burgers in the future. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening since they have a deal where you get chicken breast or 6oz sirloin and fries for $10.99.... We were immediately greeted and seated when walking in, but after being seated, we waited quite a while for our server to greet us, probably waited 10 mins or so. He was friendly, but lacking in providing decent service overall. Their onion petals, which is similar to the Bloomin Onion, just smaller is a decent deal for about half the price of the Bloomin Onion. The side salad I got with my steak was very sad! Mostly iceberg lettuce, hardly any dressing (had to ask for more) and it was very small, especially for the price - it's ridiculous! I ordered my steak medium, but it came out nearly well-done... Again, ridiculous as this is a steak place, temps need to be spot-on! Wife's chicken breast was actually under-cooked... unbelievable! It's been about 8 years or so since we were last at an Outback... This visit reminded us why! Can't believe this place is still in business when there are soooo many better places, for the same prices or cheaper where better ingredients and service are provided. read more

Joy S. was phenomenal. She was attentive and so kind! The drinks were also really tasty!

Highlight: rib eye steak (med) tasted good. Downside: found a sharp wire, resembling a thin nail, 1.5 inches long in our bloomin onion. Actually bit into it. Manager was apologetic and took onion off our bill. Thanks... read more

Outback Steakhouse - While eating our bloomin onion, bit into a thin wire, resembling a thin nail, 1.5 inches long. - Steakhouses Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

Always good food when I'm here. Love the bloomin onion, and they have the best ranch dressing. Steaks are good too, of course! Stacy was my server today--outstanding service! The entire wait staff was excellent today. read more

The server was very nice, but our bloomin onion was both burnt and under cooked.. ordered medium rare steak and it came out medium well/well... mixed veggies were over cooked & had no bite to them. The bread per usual was amazing. Sprouts were sweet and I couldn't even finish the one i tried. Literally best part of my experience was our server Daniel and spending time with the person I was there with. Maybe I'll try a different location. I used to love outback but I've either out grown it or it's fallen low on the pile of quality food. read more

Ordered takeout 2 prime ribs and a blooming onion. Order was placed at 506 pm. Didn't receive status, order was delivered 1hr 45mins later food was cold and soggy. Then delivery for got our drinks. Brought them and all ice had melted drinks were watery. So really sucked. Shameful for Outback. Just sharing $80+ dollars for subpar service. read more

Despite these reviews we went here for lunch on my birthday. Did I want Outback? No. Are there better options in Stafford, you know there's not. This town is full of chains and junk. Today Outback was a diamond in the rough, like Aladdin from the movie Aladdin. Server was great and friendly, prompt with drink refills. Bloomin onion was incredible, which is really the only reason I wanted to come. Bread was a little hard on the bottom, seemed warmed over but I still liked it. My steak was perfect, I asked for between medium rare and medium and they nailed it. Wife had Alice's chicken (hope Alice gets something else for lunch) she said it was very good too. All in all a great experience! Thanks Outback for making my 44th birthday meal in Stafford not lame. read more

Quite possibly the worst restaurant experience on Garrisonville Rd tonight. What the heck happened??? Service is terrible, all the way around. Bathrooms are filthy. First of all, most of the food was very, very, good. Exception was the over-charred steak quesadilla. The front of house staff were terrible with the exception of the two "hosts" at entry who were terrific. Waitress and servers were so poor - they cost Outback money in bar sales. Our waitress was Raven and she simply was not up to the job. Nice enough if you could get her attention but totally incompetent. We actually like Outback Steakhouse but this specific location needs to have complete new managment and FOH staff properly trained. They have little idea of customer service and no idea of teamwork! read more

It took 42 minutes for my food to come out despite the restaurant being practically empty. When we addressed the issue, the entire staff (except the server) were very defensive and aggressive. Ridiculous. read more

Wonderful service today with Jennifer! My husband and I just moved to the area and have always been fans out Outback. We stopped in today for lunch and had a great meal via superior service from Jennifer. We will absolutely return and often! read more

Our family went to eat here tonight. Tuesday evening 7pm. Basically empty restaurant but it took 50 minutes to get our food. Then I got a microscopic steak. Never again. Longhorn all way from now on. This was supposed to be a 6 ounce steak read more

Went Sunday, and it was the best Outback experience ever! No kidding! The food was typical Outback; nothing exceptional in that regard, but the server, Sydney, is one of the best I ever experienced. She must be better than clairvoyant because right before I could think it, it was on the table from drink refills, more napkins, extra sauces, whatever. Her high level of service just made it more enjoyable! read more

Not really sure what to say about this place. I haven't been in a long time and now I remember why. When I first pulled up, I was sitting in the car, waiting for the rest of my party when I noticed the manager walking out from the side door, towards the front to look/change a sign. Shortly after, another employee followed screaming "ready to do this bitch?" Loudly. Ignored it... No biggie. Step inside the restaurant , waiting around trying to figure out if we were to sit ourselves, or if someone would greet us. Finally after a few minutes the hostess showed up. The table that we were originally sat at had a judge break in it. My mom is 1. very picky and 2. Very familiar with the VDH (Virginia Department of Health) inspection and pointed out that the crack is a healthy and safety issue and gather bacteria. Ummm... Ewwww NOT sitting there! So, we moved :) The waitress was nice and she took care of us throughout our lunch and then the bill comes out... As I'm getting ready to pay, I was skimming over the bill and noticed a charge for an extra side of sauce. We were discussing it amongst ourselves at the table and my brother started joking about "Yelp about it, Yelp about it" (Yes... Everyone likes to pick on the Yelper, but yet they're all secretly following me to pick a spot to go to lol)..... I didn't mention ANYTHING about it to the waitress but I guess she over heard us while she was at another table. She takes the bill, comes back and in detail... Wrote exactly what every charge was for... All of our eyebrows rose as we just stared at that detailed receipt thinking... "RUDE"! I don't even know if the waitress realized how extremely rude her move was, especially since non of us questioned her about the $100 bill. None of us will ever be going back to this place due to their lack of professionalism, high priced menu and under delivered presentation and taste(my brother asked for medium, his steak came out completely rare in the center... I asked for medium well and mine came out medium rare...smh). If You want to spend $30 on a bare slice of meat with a piece of broccoli on the side, I'd suggest going to Morton's where they know how to treat their customers with curiosity and respect. read more

Tiffany was a superb waiter. She professional, positive, polite and very personalable. During our visit. Tiffany made great recommendations on food selections and drinks. Brought out hot bread, hot food, cleaned the table numerous times, checked on us numerous times. Tiffany made our family fellowship very enjoyable . We are glad we chose Outback for our Sunday meal together. read more

No one better than the bartender Mariah C! She makes the best drinks and gets our order in promptly and correctly every time my husband and I are there! We will wait for a place at bar just to be waited on by her! Thank you, Mariah!! read more

Service was excellent, Tiffany did a fantastic job, she was very attentive, friendly and professional. The food was cooked to order and drinks where made to order. The follow up between meal and refills were perfect. Overall we had a very enjoyable service. Thank Tiffany for a job well done. read more

When you walk in the restaurant it smells bad, not like steak or food. The service was average. We came on a Saturday after looking at the lunch menu online. However, they don't offer that on the weekend (not stated online). They still did some of the lunch options but don't advise that because they want people to buy the dinner options as they only prepare for dinner food Friday evening. Overall the food is good but not something I would ideally want to come back on a weekend for lunch. (I don't go out to much during the week). Also the seats are sticky and stink. read more

I will never dine here again! Neither dine in or deliver. I ordered through Uber eats at 4:49 pm and it estimated 60-70 minutes for my food. It took until 6:39 pm (almost 2 hrs) for my food to get here. WOW!!' (I paid additional for priority delivery). When the food got here not only was it cold but missing a whole side dish of loaded baked potato and the extra bread. So I called and the offered to prepare another potato... seriously uhh no. Then I told the person answering that were not coming to get a potato after waiting an hour. So she then goes to speak to the manager Michelle who said she would remove the cost of the potato. Was she serious? Yes she was. They ruined our entire Valentine's Day dinner. read more

I would rate them 0 stars, however yelp make you rate then at least 1 star. Waited 2 hours for a delivery, 45 minutes late on top of that. A young employee called 45 minutes after the promised delivery time to inform me that one of the steaks was no longer available, I get it, it's New Years Eve and they are busy, however the young lady had nothing but who cares attitude on the phone, then hung up on me. She obviously does not care about her company or job and or is concern about losing a customer who orders online a lot. read more

Came wanting good meal. Streaks were cooked to perfection. And tasty. Beer lines need to be cleaned residual flavor. We ordered onion and fried mushrooms. Extremely dirty grease was used as both had burnt taste. Service was top notch which is why we rated so high. Clean your fryers and it will be a 5 read more

Our service we received at the Outback located in Stafford, Virginia was top notch. It started the minute we walked in the door. We were greeted by a lovely manger by the name of Nancy. I believe she was a manager. She seated us right away. We informed her we wanted to sit in the bar area where the TV was. We were seated in a booth. She asked what sport we wanted to watch. We informed her the Washington Capitals would be the team we wanted to watch. She turned the game on for us. The menu had a variety of great food to choose from. We went with the filet mignon. It was cooked perfect. The chef Fin, did an excellent job cooking our steak. Our food came out hot. We could not ask for a better waitress/bartender Mrs. Mariah. We never seen the bottom of our drink glasses. She ensured we had something to drink at all times. Our food was delivered by a young lady named Ms. Diana. When Our food was brought to our table Ms. Diana made sure we had all our condiments we needed. We will visit this particular Outback again. The customer service, food, and welcoming atmosphere is excellent. Thank you Nancy, Mariah, Diana, and Fin for the excellent customer service. read more

Disappointed. We usually enjoy dining here; it was our favorite, however, our recent dining experience was a series of mistakes and minor aggravations (Saturday in Feb.) Brandon, our server, made several missteps starting with drinks then throughout each course. Long wait for drinks, then my side salad arrived with ONLY lettuce and 2 slices of cucumber, period! We asked 2x for bread, but then it arrived w/o butter. Requests forgotten. My dinner was incorrect and overcooked and my partner's dinner was missing items. I began to wonder if our entire meal actually belong to someone else! It was irritating to have to wait for server to return to our table each time to ask for each correction and then wait for it. BTW, we were FREEEZING at our booth... perhaps because the greeter stands at length with the front doors wide OPEN. We'll be back ...but on this particular night, service was not up to the old Outback standard. read more

Order take out and always tip because I expected my order to be correct. After paying over 80 dollar, being pregnant and craving a loaded bake potato for the condiments not to be in my bag is very irritating. I called and explained my frustration, but to drive all the way back for that is pointless. Point being before you leave the parking lot make sure you have everything in your bag or you will be pissed. From this I won't go back for a while because this isn't the first, nor second time this has happened. Outback you have to do better. read more

Don't come here when it's two hours to closing. It's not the waiters fault, but the service is super slow. Food wasn't that great either. Too much batter on the blooming onion, cold potato soup that we had to get reheated twice. It took about 30 minutes to get the entree after we ate the appetizer. This place is off the list read more

Ordered take out. Everything was great, we had sirloin steak and pork chops that were cooked to perfection.

We come here every few months for business and eat here at least once while we are here and are never disappointed. Our boys love the food , we love the food and the service is great. The drinks are also wonderful and I can't saw enough about the yummy desserts. We will be coming back here whenever we are in town. read more

Saw this place had 2 and half stars and that says a lot for an over populated county but had no choice to buy dinner here because of a gift card. WHY ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS!? Called to place my order for curbside. I kindly told the lady that my food has to be made dairy free so no butter on my broccoli or lobster etc. My husband ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta meal. When they gave him the bag the didn't seal his dish properly it spilled all over bag. Not to mention now my dish had Alfredo sauce all in it so nice for dairy free. They "re packaged" his meal. Ended up being a chicken shrimp pasta soup, yuck! The blooming onion was soggy and my steak was dry as cardboard. There, I shared my experience! read more

Seems like every time we go there something is wrong. We took our nephew, his wife, their baby and our neighbor there a few days before Christmas. Took forever to get our drinks and appetizers. I had to go up to the bar to get bread. When the steaks FINALLY came they were messed up. They took my husband's steak back to be fixed and 45 mins later..still no.steak. I wouldn't start eating until his food was out. By the time it did come out everyone wa s done eating. I spoke with the nrg earlier about the bread and again about us not getting his steak for 45 mins and that we were both taking our food to go. She to one entree off our bill and didn't ever come over to personally apologize. This is one of MANY bad experiences there. Have a feeling their attitudes will change once we get another steak house close by. read more

We have returned to this Outback now after about a year because of a lot of issues with the food before and we are so happy that we did! Over the last 6 weeks we have had curbside takeaways twice and everything was perfect and just this past Monday night we ate in with our daughter who was visiting and again the food and service was perfect! This is now our favorite restaurant in Stafford again and look forward to many more meals here! read more

Outback in Stafford - thank you for the great service and food. I ordered and paid online and used the curbside pickup. It was so easy and quick. My food (shrimp on the Barbie and a loaded baked potato) was still hot when I got home (the salad was cool - as it should be). The service was great. The gentleman checked my order info through my car window and put my food in the trunk as I requested. All of my customizations to my order were carried out. Thank you read more

I never learn! Don't know why I can back here. Consistently poor service...Six tables occupied at 3:00PM and took us an hour to eat and get out. Waiter rolled up seated in a chair-weird! Took exceedingly long to do anything asked.More than 1 minutes to process check. Unacceptable Just tried again. Food is great. Service is lousy. They just don't seem to care. An hour to get in and out. Very poor service. Servers are mostly all negligent, uncaring, and clueless. Twenty minutes to get salads. Twenty more to get check after finish. A nice chain establishment is now a ghetto level steakhouse...Corporate do you care? read more

For a steakhouse, the steaks are the worst thing on the menu. Just tried this place again, ordered med rare and steak was ice cold raw. Sent back and asked for med, came back 20 minutes later exactly the same. Not worth the time or money. read more

Went for lunch with my boyfriend and my sister on 4/17. Was extremely disappointed with the food. My house salad looked sad. Flat, almost completely white iceberg lettuce, huge, government cheese looking strands of "cheese" and the honey mustard dressing left a lot to be desired. The coconut shrimp tasted like chemicals. The biggest disappointment was my margarita. I ordered the top shelf margarita with Patron on the rocks. It literally tasted like water and tequila. Margaritas are my favorite drink. This was so bad. No zing from fresh lime and lemon, couldn't taste the Cointreau at all. No sweetness. Water and tequila. A tragedy for $10. The only saving grace was our wonderful server, Dee. She was so sweet and her service was on point. I bartend and serve and my boyfriend is a line cook so we are very understanding and don't expect absolute perfection when we go out to eat, but when you work in the industry on your day off you really want to enjoy the other side of food service and savor the experience. I really left feeling robbed of $60. :( read more

I went to outback today for lunch. I ordered a side salad with my meal and I got the salad and mixed it up. I was about to take a bite when I noticed a live bug. We told the manager and he just acted like it was no big deal and brought out another salad. Which at this point I had lost my appetite for salads. We didn't get a discount at all. I was very disappointed. Who knows what else was in our food! I've been here several times and usually they offer us something if our food is messed up. But they acted like it was no big deal! I won't be coming back to this location! read more

My company placed an order or thought we did, but did not fully submit the request. We did not realize our error until 30 mins past our what we thought was our delivery time. The staff was so understanding and helpful, they were able to take our large request and deliver the food within an hour. The owner himself was who delivered. What amazing service and the food was delicious! We will be ordering from them again in the future! read more
