Outback Steakhouse - Coconut Shrimp appetizer - Steakhouses Near Me - Tampa, Florida

3/15/26 I decided I wasn't cooking tonight, that I would rather treat myself to my Outback favorite that my budget as a disabled senior allows me...the Aussie 3-Course. For $17.99 I got a 6oz sirloin, a caesar salad, my fav sweet potato, and a piece of cheesecake with raspberry drizzle. What is the cherry on top is the terrific, professional service I am shown each and every time. Today, because I had a couple questions, Jaeoni fielded my questions and Adrian handled my curbside order. Both greeted me and took care of my order making me feel like a truly valued customer. Kuddos to the management team for the staff they have, a staff who sure shows they enjoy their job and the people on their team. Go Team Outback!! read more

Very low quality of the food, my steak was chewy and tufted, servers were very rushed to get the order and drop the bill!

Today was an office day. Waitress was great and patient. Food came out cold, they took it back and brought us a whole "cooked" one, well..... Steak was not cooked chicken wing were raw, chicken was cold. Everything was not satisfying at all. Went to chick fa la, mom took her wigs to put it in the oven to finish cooking. Big disappointed. Manager comped our food, she did her best. We went to chick fa la. read more

Diner beware... Ever since original proprietor (Tim) went to another store one can see the level of service declining. Attention to detail and customer service is lacking. On my recent experience we sat at the bar and waited 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged. No 'Hi' my name is ...... Was served cold soup / salad with no dressing. Asked the bartender for more which was never received. Not sure if this place will survive or pull in customers without Tim or Alex. Blooming Brands you made a serious mistake by moving Tim. read more

Came in for a quick bite and a drink or two. The service was great and food and drinks came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Regan was my server. She was kind and lively making sure to check in and make sure everything was going well, as well made sure to keep up with table cleanliness. Between the food and service I had a wonderful relaxing evening. I will be coming back and hope to have Regan as my server again! read more

They owe me that Star. Along with the Wedge Salad I ordered and never got. :-( Our party of three were planning on a light dinner: a Wedge Salad for myself, another one with a side of salmon for a second dining friend, and an appetizer of shrimp for a third friend. They were served their shrimp, even though they said they wanted it served along with the salads. Having finished the shrimp, and waiting about 40 minutes, I said, "What's taking so long? I can make a salad faster!" Our server, who was also bartending, came over asking, "Is all alright?" Not even noting there were no salads that were orderd! :-( I said, "Uh, WHERE is the salads?" As she left to "check on it", I grew disgusted with the whole thing. A manager (I'm guessing) offered to let us take our salads home. I asked, "Are they made?" "No, not yet." WHAT?! DON'T TROUBLE YOURSELVES! She did say the shrimp was on the house. BUT, THEY NEVER BOTHERWD TO MAKE THE SALADS! :-O WILL NOT RETURN. KEEP YOUR SALADS! :-( read more

Most of us have been to Outback at one time or another. This one turned out to be one of my favorite. A nice peaceful ambiance with excellent service (thanks Mary), beautiful decor, impeccable timing and delicious food. The new Expresso Ribeye had great marbling and flavor. The Onion Soup was particularly scrumptious with the aid of the bread and cheese which added depth of flavor. Even the salad hit the spot and I like the roll as well. A very pleasant lunch experience on a hot and dreary day. A nice pick me up. It was not crowded. The place is large, tons of free parking with easy access. read more

Ate here for dinner with my son on 12/8/22. It's been sometime since I have been to Outback and felt like having a steak. The 8oz Outback Sirloin and Tasmanian shrimp is what we both had. The shrimp has their Nashville Hot rub and it was really good. The deal to get the shrimp with the sirloin was $2.00 more than the sirloin alone. Service was good and food came out hot. read more

Service was amazing fast very polite love the atmosphere beautiful and clean. I love the decor and I always love going in and sitting at the booths. Everyone's always very polite. We asked for extra bread no problem. We got some drinks for four drink drinks yes, please the food was fresh and delicious as always. read more

From time to time you'll go into an establishment and really have enjoyed your meal, or maybe their service was exceptional, maybe their bartenders even made that one drink just the way you like it...but at the Carrollwood Outback... you will have that experience every...single... time. Why is that you ask? I'll tell you why. From the moment you walk in from the parking lot...you're taken care of. They boast an absolutely impeccable front of house staff. For example, I don't think I've ever once even touched the door before being greeted with a warm welcome. And boy do they get you seated in no time! Always on their A game, extremely friendly, polite as can be, and will do whatever is necessary to accommodate your party. In my case, my family and I prefer to take a spot at the bar where we can get a good look at their beautiful TV's to watch our Tampa Bay Sports teams all year long. You'll have a great view of the vast beer selection they have on tap as well as their expansive liquor and wine selections. They boast a large variety of your domestic beers and imports, as well as your craft beers and IPA's.. if that suits your fancy. I'm more of a top shelf margarita guy ;) The service behind the bar is second to none in the Tampa Bay Area. This group truly feels like family every time we step into the restaurant. They notice the small things before you even think of them. Highly effective communicators, they make sure you are comfortable, and most importantly taken care of. It's not just any other chain where you'll sit and wait 20 minutes for a drink to be poured. No way. You can leave a comment on here if that ever happens and I'll go buy you a beer. And I mean that, I've been coming to this Outback for years upon years and I've never had the dreaded thought- "what is taking them so long?". That just does not happen. Special shout-out to Ridge, one of the best bartenders in town, and also one of the best people I've ever met. Keep up the hard work back there. These people are driven by the best management in the business. Every good team is spearheaded by a great leader. Our very own proprietor Tim does a remarkable job with this establishment and that is why it has been a staple in our lives for many years now. He does everything the right way and steers the ship in the direction it needs to go day in and day out. It's no walk in the park to do what he does but he makes it look EASY! We are extremely grateful he has given us a home away from home in this Outback. Will all that being said... you go to a restaurant to eat food!!! I would be absolutely remiss to not mention the kitchen staff. On time and on target. This outback is special because it's not a restaurant where you go, "Oh this is really good there but don't get this". No. EVERYTHING is good and they do a great job of keeping it that way. I will list some of my personal favorites for you to try and let me know what you think. Appetizers: THE BEST CHEESE FRIES IN TOWN. I mean that, I'm not blowing smoke. Dip those bad boys in some ranch and thank me later. Kookaburra Wings? Yes please. Try them medium for a good kick. Soup: Potato soup. Potato soup. Potato soup. I hate to be redundant but also... best in town. If that doesn't seem to be your cup of tea, go with the French Onion. But seriously, try that potato soup. Salad: Fresh and crisp house salad to pair with your favorite entree. I love their honey mustard dressing to top it off. Entrees: Can't go wrong with the juicy Center Cut Sirloin but if you're looking to spice it up a bit don't be afraid to try the Filet or the Ribeye. Well worth it. (The Burgers are also sneakily mouth watering) Sides: Amazing broccoli if you're looking to add a healthy side. I also really enjoy their sweet potato with the brown sugar cinnamon butter! Last but not least: Dessert Thunder and Lightning. Chocolate Thunder from Down Under?! AND Butter Cake?! Sign me up. Truthfully, this Outback is the perfect blend of elegance and affordability. Where else can you get a perfectly cooked to order steak, a soup or salad and a side for under 15 dollars? Not to mention the unlimited loads of the world famous Outback pumpernickel bread and butter. (Though I recommend saving some room for other items I'll get to on the menu.) Dress up, dress casual, dress down. Anything goes at Outback. Have a drink, have some food, and most importantly... have a good time. So let me ask you this, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? read more

Ordered a 8 oz sirloin steak with chopped salad and loaded baked potato. Server was friendly and salad was served before the meal with a loaf of their brown bread and butter. My spouse ordered the same except his steak was a 6 oz. My steak was undercooked slightly and yet tough to cut and eat. See the amount of gristle and stinging mess of my steak. My spouses steak was cooked according to how he ordered and wasn't tough or hard to cut. Management offered to bring me another steak, yet I refused because we were going to a movie and couldn't wait. read more

I am a longtime Bloomin Brands customer. Have been a member of their dine-rewards program since inception. With that in mind I have eaten at many OB's and the other brands in their system . But what happened on the last Saturday evening of February this year at this location has turned me off to this particular store. We took two other guests for dinner, it was a busy night but were seated after a short wait but to get waited on 10-15 minutes later. My wife ordered with her entree a house sales plain with blue cheese on the side and twin lobster tails. She received a USED salad ( lettuce sitting on a bed of other dressing you could see) blue cheese was on the side. Lobster tails were the size of large shrimp and do dry could eat them (over cooked). Sent back the salad untouched no apology , no visit from a manger to discuss and tails just didn't eat them. Again no acknowledgement from management. FINAL COMMENT- 1) don't go on a busy night, there is no attention to service or detail , 2) don't expect a manager will get involved if you have an issue, the one I saw stood at the checkin station telling the hostesses what to do but they were doing fine without him, 3) even after writing a review to a questionnaire sent by dine-rewards don't expect a response, I guess they don't care even they are the ones that requested it. REMEMBER- spend your money where you feel appreciated and enjoy the atmosphere. As for this OB I am choosing not to. read more

Not what I expected from OB. Crock of chili is rather small, and only warm. I'd send it back to heat it up but not sure what would happen to it once I can't see it. The servers are great. They're very friendly and responsive to customer requests. Culver's is next door. They share the parking lot. It might be a better choice next time. read more

The food was good and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food came right out. The restaurant was as usual nice and clean. I had the chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. I should have asked for double mashed potatoes, but I didn't think. The fresh vegetables were carrots and squash The waiter said that was what I was going to get. The food all tasted good and the dessert was amazing it was worth 10.99 price tag. The free bread is always good. read more

Um, this is weird, but I have to give this Outback five stars. The door was opened cheerily for us upon arrival, we were seated immediately, and our waiter, Michael, was incredibly attentive and personable. The decor in this restaurant makes it more upscale than a typical Outback. It's open and visually interesting. Perfect for a date night. It wasn't too crowded or too loud, despite all the tables in our area holding multiple families. Michael gave us plenty of time to order, checked on us at ideal intervals, and was very helpful when we were looking for a specific drink on the menu. My fiancé and I ordered a bloomin' onion to start, and it was the best one we've ever had. Usually, they come out golden brown but are a little soggy in some spots. This one was a healthy brown, crispy, and delicious. We both ordered the Victoria's filet mignon, I with the garlic butter topping and he with the bbq bacon. My steak came out perfectly cooked. Spot-on medium rare. Each bite melted in my mouth. The side of broccoli was steamed to perfection, easily cut with a fork but still firm. The side of mac & cheese was out of this world! It comes in a cute little skillet, and it was steaming hot. Just how I like it! I didn't even have to salt and pepper it. It was perfect! So much cheese, the right amount of panko on top, perfectly cooked pasta... I nearly died of happiness. My fiancé's steak smelled DIVINE, and the bbq sauce with bacon was delicious. I was a little jealous! It was a hair undercooked (came out medium instead of medium well), but he loved the taste. The side of fries with his steak were cooked exactly how we like them: completely crispy with not a single soggy fry to be seen! To top off our great experience, Michael doubled our $5 off coupon for the filet mignon, since we had both ordered one. He said it just made sense, and we agree! We had been debating whether or not to both order one, since coupons are usually only one per table... but we both love filet and couldn't resist. I'm so glad Michael went the extra step for us. In the scheme of things, it's only $5 for this billion dollar chain restaurant, but to us, it's the reason we'll be visiting this location again. read more

Another chain restaurant that has good chef in the kitchen. You can feel it when the food comes out. They also has Wednesday night special for limited time. They are running a $9.95 6 oz sirlion with fried and beer. Such a good deal. I got special of the night. The selection of the meat has good quality. I have ask for medium rare. The outside is completely cook but the inside still see red less pink. This is very good skill from the chef. The middle of the did not feel cool too which make this well prepared over the grille. I also got sheared Ahi tuna. This is favorite from this restaurant. I like that overlay over Asian dressing slaw. It has every good thing with about the appetizer. I would recommend this dish to start. Overall the bar is good but only one person in the bar area make the attentive service is lack off. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steak looked like a turd and nasty like they really disrespected that poor cow. - Steakhouses Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My family and I have been going to this Outback Steakhouse whenever I am in town. It always has a table readily available for us no matter the time of day we go in. Complimentary warm and soft bread paired with smooth butter always preceding our delicious meal. This time around I ended up ordering a seafood special where I could get some lobster, fried shrimp, and mac and cheese! We had a family of 5 and it was during dinner rush hour, so our food came out all together perhaps after 30 minutes of waiting. The lobster was deliciously fried and easy to peel from its shell. It didn't have as much flavor as the shrimp did, but nonetheless still tasty. The mac and cheese was the highlight of the whole meal! it was very rich and cheesy, but not to the point of feeling too heavy after eating. Although treated as a side dish, it could be enough for a small meal. I am not sure if I would go to Outback be it not for my family, but when we do go, I have had great experiences so far at this Outback. I am glad we continue to eat here! read more

We have been happy at this restaurant a hundred times prior to last night. A couple years ago we noticed the steaks were different. Still our favorite date night spot however. Last night I went to dinner with my sisters and ordered a bone in ribeye. Why do you order a bone in ribeye? Because the bone gives the meat more flavor. My steak had no bone. I took the whole thing apart looking for the bone. It was a good steak so I didn't complain until I got the bill for the bone in. What was infuriating was that the server first went to my plate digging for a bone. Then called his manager over. She took the plate in the back, came back to my table and literally told me "we were able to find the bone. It was tiny but it was there." So, I paid all that extra money for the bone in flavor for what she herself called a "tiny bone "? And then, to go into the back and scour through the steak to try and "find it". I am a grown executive woman, Who has a great job, my husband has a great job, and we are blessed with all the money that we need. It wasn't that it was the money that mattered, it was the principle of paying for bone in, when I didn't have a bone in ribeye. I don't think I will ever forget how that manager tried to ridicule me at the table. I do hope your general manager will be able to talk to this manager and the server and explain the picking apart food in front of a person to "search for a tiny bone" is completely ridiculous. The issue is that you guys are buying bone in ribeyes with no bone, or in your words, a tiny bone. That's not why people buy a bone in ribeye, and you're a steakhouse and you should know that. To ridicule a grown adult is uncalled for, and I'm not sure I'll be able to come back to your restaurant. She should be ashamed of herself, and I hope that she is disciplined appropriately. read more

Great quality steak and ribs as always but the grilled chicken was surprisingly good. I came for ribs and steak knowing what to expect, good food at good price. To add some variety I got the Drover's Ribs and Chicken platter. The chicken was surprisingly excellent, it was very tender and juicy, I actually liked it better than the steak. 5/5 stars for the food, but 3/5 for the service since our waitress was gone most of the time and never refilled our water and tea drinks. The fries came really late about midway throught the meal. read more

The service we got today was great. Our server was so kind and very attentive to us. We sat next to the bar and even though she was bartending as well she did a great job of attending to us. I got the fillet mignon which was an awesome choice and a great choice for people who like tender steak. I highly recommend you get it medium rare. read more

The atmosphere is still top notch at this Outback, BUT, the food quality has declined...and I mean declined. We started with the Blooming onion and it was so salty it nearly burnt my tongue! Terrible!! We all ordered a meal. One had the chicken and rib combo. Well, the chicken was raw, unedited and sent back. The prime rib sandwich could have been phenomenal, BUT, again so salty...really! The third meal was a burger and it was pretty good. It again was way to salty.. What happened?? Just terrible food for well over $75. We will not be returning. read more

This Outback Steakhouse is next to an eyeglass world. It is one of the only Outback's on Dale Mabry. Outback is a large franchise. I guess it could be described as moderately affordable. The Bloomin' Onion from Outback are in my opinion, a great reason to go to Outback. Bloomin' Onion have a convincing and delicious flavor. I kind of wanted to get The Bloomin' Burger. However, I ordered The Outback Burger instead. In my opinion, my Outback Burger did not have the best presentation. The bread slightly stuck or melted on to the burger. I thought the lettuce was placed slightly sloppily. The cheese could also be melted less on the burger. Potentially, it might not have been, "presented," the best. I did ask for my burger to be rare. It was rare. The burger tasted good. My burger came with fires. I thought the fries were more on the salty side. They were well seasoned. Also, we were missing something that we ordered. While I did think that my burger tasted good. It was kind of unconstructive that we were missing something. It was not the worst Outback in the world. I did not speak or interact with any of the service. I liked that I asked for my burger rare and It came rare. I would maybe go to this Outback again. The Bloomin' Onion from Outback Steakhouse taste exceedingly delicious. I would recommend the Bloomin' Onion. read more

Had a great experience here today. The service (Natalie) was superb.....definitely 5 star service. She was pleasant, helpful, and present when you needed it. The steak and shrimp pasta was good, though the steak was a bit tough. Happy hour Bloody Mary and sangria were happy hour items which made them quite reasonable. Chicken and steak with salad and sweet potato were also good. We will be back though Bidenomics added 50% to my check over prior visits before I added a 20% tip. read more

They are definitely practicing Covid spacing. Service was spot on Megan was super friendly and helpful in making decisions. At the table we had sirloin, prime rib and cheese fries.

Go out and support this business. read more
