My husband and I went to Outback for lunch while my car was getting serviced. It wasn't busy when we got there, but we still had to wait a while to be greeted and seated. Once we finally sat down, we checked out their menu. They had a good variety of food, but my husband settled on the half-pound outbacker burger, medium well, with fries. I got the Alice Springs Chicken with a side salad. We also wanted to try the Steakhouse Mac & Cheese. Our server asked if we wanted some free bread while we waited, which was yes. While we waited for the food, I went to use the bathroom. We were seated at the front of the restaurant, and the bathrooms are at the back in the corner. Once I walked toward the back, there was a very overwhelming, unpleasant smell. The odor was quite unpleasant. It seemed to be a combination of plumbing issues and a strong cleaning agent. I am uncertain of the exact source, but it was not an good aroma for a restaurant. I didn't smell it where we were sitting, and that might be why most of the guests were seated really far from that area. Once I got back to my seat, I was very unsettled. Once our food arrived, everything seemed okay. My husband said his burger was good, but he thinks they made it medium instead of medium-well. Other than that, he enjoyed it. My chicken was really good, and the mac and cheese was my favorite. It had a little kick to it and they make it with cavatappi noodles which is something I do. Our server, Jake, was very attentive and pleasant. I wanna know what was up with that horrible smell so I can decide if I wanna go back. I think the service, price, and food were good. read more

We came here to grab dinner before a movie. This was about 5pm-6pm on a Saturday. Service is the best part! They got us seated immediately, food order was taken quickly, the food came out fast and hot, and we were able to pay using the little tablet at the table so we were in and out and back to the theater in less than an hour! The food is alright. The portions are big! Flavor wise it's also big as in it can be very salty or very peppery. The Mac and cheese could use more cheese and less black pepper. Either way it's very filling heavy food. I liked my prime rib with the horseradish cream. They did let me know that despite ordering it as rare due to how they season it it'll be more on the medium rare side. The sweet potato was buttery and sweet. Next time I'd skip the Mac and cheese and choose something else for the second side. The complimentary bread is very soft! It reminds me of Cheesecake Factory brown bread without the oats in the outside. Desserts are a lot. It's a lot of food and very sweet. In the past we had ordered a couple different desserts. We can never fully finish them. It's a good choice for dinner and a movie if you're looking for something nearby and predictable. read more

My husband and I were met at the door with a very unfriendly hostess. Snow smile, no welcome, no nothing.Then, we got saturday.Table sat there for ten minutes with no acknowledgment.No, do you need water?The server walked by us at least six times never even glanced and said.I'll be right with you as a person in hospitality.This is absolutely unacceptable in any establishment.And then there was another family that walked out when we got up and walked out, because they were told they would have to wait ten to fifteen minutes to be sat.And there were nothing but empty tables in the building.So they also left, this place needs a overhaul of management.And servers read more

Outback Steakhouse - Veterans Day special - Steakhouses Near Me - Vacaville, California

Craving the blooming onion as I haven't had it for over 20 years. With no location near where we live, I made it a requirement for us to eat lunch here. We ordered the blooming onion. My main was the steak and chicken combo. I figured with the appetizer and bread, I'd only eat half of my main and take the leftovers home. The blooming onion was as I remembered it. Pure onion deliciousness. My steak was cooked medium rare and was the appropriate size for lunch. Our server was very attentive to our table. She kept asking if we'd like more bread, any sauces, and refills for drinks. read more

We had a reservation for nine people tonight and we waited over an hour and a half. We were told that we could be waiting as long as two to three hours before being seated. The staff were clueless on how a restaurant operates and were incapable of accommodating us. Every-time a table came up, they gave it to someone else. I guess they thought since we all got drinks at the bar to pass the time, they could ignore us. We spoke to the manager and he wanted us to believe that he was the victim in this whole scenario. He was not any help and was even less helpful than his staff. We used to love this place, but unfortunately, they lost all of our business. After an hour and 40 minutes we left and had great service and great food at Mary's. Having reservations were pretty much useless at Outback, even for a large party. I would rate them ZERO! Great service at the bar! read more

I ordered the sirloin and blooming chicken combo for lunch. There was also a blooming onion as the table appetizer. The onion was very delicious, just as it always has been. My steak was a little bit tough but had good flavor. The baked potato which came as a side with the meal was very good. Our server was very attentive and courteous. read more

Food was just okay, service was good. Outback Steakhouse used to be a favorite of ours 20 years ago, but we rarely come here anymore. We came this time because we had gift cards that needed to be redeemed as many Outback locations will be closing. The food isn't the best. Hence, it's not our first choice for steak. The place was emptier than we remembered, but still a decent amount of customers. We were seated immediately and our server did a good job. Food quality was average. read more

The drinks were really good! Can't say the same for the food or service. Seemed like every table around us was checked on more often than we were and we never got any complimentary bread. The food was average but not worth the prices once it was served to us. read more

Stopped by Outback Steakhouse on our way to Sacramento for a quick bite. It's a fast-food style steakhouse with speedy service. The blooming onion was overly salty, and the salad was surprisingly sweet, but the steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. We also had a baked potato, which was the highlight of the meal. Servers were attentive and got our food out fast. While it was a decent stop, it's not a go-to spot for us. read more

Sorry, I HATE to and rarely give poor reviews, but this was not a good dining experience whatsoever for my In-laws and my husband and I. We were heading back to Sacramento from the Bay and decided to have dinner here. The service wasn't bad, but the food was. There was an abundance of black pepper in every item of our meals! Isn't that why there are salt and pepper shakers at every table of every restaurant? I feel like my elderly in-laws got ripped off buying us dinner. I can't imagine why this is considered "Australian " steakhouse fare, it's just a regular steakhouse. read more

The service was absolutely terrible! But I don't know what is worse the service or the food. It was a bad day all the way around. I sat in the bar with a friend. It took quite a while to get anything. It took an extremely long time to get our food two people that came in after us got their food before we did. When I got my shrimp, it was obviously cooked before the steak that my ordered because it was cold. When I spoke to the manager, I get a sense of OK we're gonna take your food out the check. That might have taken care of that visit, but there won't be another . To me that's what you're after. When you come someone's food you want them to come back I expected my food to be comped because I didn't eat it. The worst won't be back. I'm gonna make sure everybody knows not to go here read more

My fiancé and I went on a Friday night, there was no wait time & the servers were attentive & kind! I liked that it wasn't too noisy even though there was a basketball game going on lol. Bread & Butter We liked it! Also got a second round lol Appetizer We got hot wings and they were okay. The sauce was a bit weird. It was a good portion though, & came with a few celery sticks Meal I ordered the pasta with shrimp and steak and he ordered the pasta with shrimp and chicken. The pasta itself was alright. The shrimp were our favorite because they were very well seasoned! There was only like 7 though lol The steak was dry and had no flavor, sadly. Maybe it was because I ordered it medium well, but it was bland and no taste. Overall, it would not be our top pick ~ read more

Steak and shrimp fettuccine was a little bland. Not enough steak and shrimp for the price. I would not order that again. Waitress was nice.

I came on a sunday evening and only had to wait for like 10 minutes which was a surprise. we had a kind waitress who had been working since the morning and running around so busy. She still managed to keep a smile on her face and make sure we were taken care of. I ordered grilled shrimp on the barbie with mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese. I was surprised it came with that many shrimp. the mash was good. The brocolli was good but the sauce on top was too salty. There's like two layers on top. There's a cheese sauce that's brown and the actual melted cheese on top of that. It was doing too much. the iced water tasted really good with this. Lol. I had an overall good experience here. my husband enjoyed his steak and it wasn't dry. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Grilled Shrimp On The Barbie - Steakhouses Near Me - Vacaville, California

Food: 2 steaks ordered medium-rare one came out medium the other was rare. Everything was bland and tasteless. Cesar salad & bread was just ok. The butter didn't even taste like butter. Service: We chose bar seating as we were in a hurry; 3 available tables had no chairs so I had to walk around the restaurant to find and move our own chairs. Had to get our own silverware and salt while wait staff stood around talking to friends/regulars. Ambiance: it was Outback... reminded me why I never go there. Won't be going back again. Bill was $94 for 2 people - so not worth it. Very disappointed. read more

Service and ambiance were the only things good about the place. My wife's chicken dinner was dry. My grandsons meal dry. Each of our salads lacked any zeal. The so called romaine was more like iceberg with few ingredients. My fettuccine was ok but the steak cool and dry. I doubt it was a bad night in the kitchen. And I spent $163.00. A waste of money. We will never go back. read more

We visited Outback Steakhouse after a family gathering on December 31, 2024. Despite the place being practically empty, the service was wonderful. The chimichurri filet was divine and I will definitely order it again. A must-try is the blooming onion, which they're known for. We could barely complete our entrees because the portions were generous. If they could package the chimichurri sauce, that would be amazing. If we're in the area again, we will return. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Good food and good service. Bathroom could have used a lot more attention. A dirty bathroom in a restaurant is worrying. Porterhouse steak was tasty and cooked as I requested. Could have been a little bit more tender. Baked potato tasted great. Appetizer salad was absolutely tiny, but tasty. My server kept my diet Coke glass full. I ordered a lobster tail, something I don't usually do. Probably should have gotten it steamed. Grilled left it a bit overcooked and shrunken. read more

I met my BFF for lunch, and, as usual....delicious! My friend had the pork chops, which were perfectly cooked. And, I had the appetizers shrimp on the Barbie. SO good! My friend had a lemonade, which she really enjoyed it, and I had a Prosecco ( delicious, a good brand name) . I would highly recommend this establishment. It is really clean, well managed, and customer oriented. Thank you for reading the review. Christine read more

The beer, perfect. Cold AF. Service is top notch. Quiet, not the usual boisterous vibe that outback is known for v Can't recommend the burger though. Small thin patty. Mushie tomato and lots and lots of mustard. The blooming onion was spicy, but Uber greasy. The oil needs changing No wonder there was no wait. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Ice cold Lil Sumpin - Steakhouses Near Me - Vacaville, California

We were in the area to get our dogs teeth cleaning done the other day and my husband was craving a bloomin' onion, so we made a to-go order here and figured we'd eat at the park which is typically standard procedure when we have our pup with us. The wait time for the order seemed a bit long so I made my husband head in about 10 minutes before it was supposed to be ready and, you guessed it, it was just sitting there ready to go. As we were driving away I saw a small patio and said that maybe we could have brought her and sat on the patio but since we already had it all to go, we continued to the park. I see now from other reviews that they do have a small dog-friendly patio and that would be a nice thing for people to know. When we got to the park just a few minutes away we had our app and meals. The bun on my husband's burger was so soggy we had to take it off. Their fries aren't very good either and even though we were looking forward to our bloomin onion, it was incredibly oily so we ended up throwing half of it away. I had the prime rib sandwich and I would get it again for sure. Lots of meat, good flavor and a nice soft roll. When we dine in, my husband gets the 18 oz bone in ribeye and he enjoys that also. Overall we like the chain, but the communication and presentation here wasn't the greatest. We would probably pass on this location given the option again. read more

The salad was fine( almost always a piece of the core inside) cheese fries are good ! Staff was friendly. However I was wearing pants and a sweatshirt and it was freezing! It felt like I walked into the produce section in Sam's club or Costco! Absolutely ridiculous you can't enjoy your meal because of it. I was shivering! read more

1 out of 5 stars Order Type: Takeout I've had decent meals at Outback in the past, but this visit to the Vacaville location was a complete disappointment--and I won't be coming back. Ribeye Steak (Medium Well with Extra Seasoning) I ordered my ribeye medium well with extra seasoning. What I received was dry, tough, and completely flavorless. It tasted like it had been boiled--no grill marks, no char, and absolutely no seasoning. It was one of the worst steaks I've ever had. Baked Potato (Fully Loaded) The baked potato was just as bad. The toppings were messy and unappetizing, and the potato itself was dry and bland. It looked like it had been sitting around too long and thrown together without care. Overall Experience Even for takeout, this meal was unacceptable. Poor quality, no flavor, and zero attention to detail. Outback used to be a reliable choice, but this location has completely missed the mark. I won't be back--and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. Victor Wilhite read more

Major kudos to the hostess and team on managing a full waiting area this Sat nite! Our party of 5 was seated well within the expected time (10 min) and received the text confirmation that a table was ready. Whoever was working the front today was such a trooper handling an entitled guest that threw a fit when we were seated before her--we were on the list before her but didn't of course she looked too hangry to care anyway. And protect Sierra at all costs! She was so kind and attentive while waiting on us. She even helped me with redeeming a gift card. Food came out in a timely fashion and we enjoyed it all. I like the addition of chimichurri sauce I think shoestring fried carrots should be on everything! I'm not even a salad person yet would eat the blue cheese pecan salad daily if I could! I guess I felt compelled to share this review for this particular location because I appreciate how everyone moved swiftly to seat, serve, and turn tables for the next guests to be seated. Though chain restaurants can get a bad rap by the public, there is something special about how this location is managed. They saved me a night of planning a meal after a long work day, and had enough options for each family member to enjoy. For those of us who find dining out a treat, Outback did not disappoint in tonight! read more

Horrible steaks, we couldn't even eat. Worst steaks ever. Please don't waste your money like we did. 6oz sirloin meal and a Joey meal for my son, mozzarella boomerangs.,YUCK! Meat has a soggy texture, a lot of fat and NO seasoning on either. Just how the meat was mushy then slimy we both spit it out in trash. The mozzarella boomerangs were also soggy and the cheese felt like slime. In the trash too. Ones I buy from store are 100% better. I've never had cheese that felt slimy. That's not real cheese. I'm not even sure if the steak is real? Who knows maybe it's beyond meat, yuck. even my dogs I went to see if they would eat a small piece and they wouldn't. The best part of the meal was fries, baked potato, and bread that came with the dinner. WE WILL NEVER BUY OUTBACK AGAIN. I'm actually shocked how horrible it was after seeing good reviews and it's even a Friday night. Definitely sticking with Texas Road House for future. Just sad my son was happy to try Outback. read more

Outback Steakhouse - 6oz sirloin - Steakhouses Near Me - Vacaville, California

We have been coming here every 2 months or so... I am having surgery and won't be able to enjoy it for a little while so I decided to order take out. I know picked up at 930, they close at 10 so maybe they just don't cook the good stuff late? First- the broccoli was left in the bag they cook it in... it says Friday on the bag and the broccoli had black spots all over it so I guess it should have been tossed on Friday today is Sunday. Then I went to eat the steak... it tasted off... so not only did I not eat the broccoli and but the steak either. The only good thing was the sweet potato. 33.23 for a sweet potato. I also tried to call and sat on hold for 2 minutes before hanging up. read more
