Arrived about 8:00 pm to a half deserted place. Seated about 30 minutes later. What "turns me off" is a dirty table, an worse is food under the table...stepping in it while I eat my meal...disgusting. The Outback on US1 must of transferred the same crew to this new location. Maybe they should of fired everyone and started over from the Top down. Never going back to this hole. read more

WORST STEAKHOUSE IN VERO BEACH FLORIDA! I am not one to go on the internet and post about any where in town but this one had to be heard. Superbowl Sunday my family and I went to the new location for the first time ever and the last time ever! Arriving at Outback, it took me about 20 minutes to find a parking spot. That was the first flaw of the establishment, the second one was when I walked in I wasn't greeted I was ignored for the employees cell phone. When the girl finally looked up from her phone she rudely said "what do you want" I KID YOU NOT I said "well i would like to be seated" and she then looked at me then looked back at her phone and did NOT say another word and then when another employee came up she was complaining about shes been working over 24 hours in the last two days and how she was not going to close and then asked someone to take me to a table THEN RIGHT THERE MY FAMILY AND I SHOULD'VE WALKED OUT we then sat down waiting for our server for about 20 minutes when our waitress finally arrived she was just as rude as the girl in the front she gave us sass our whole meal there, my fiancé says he believes her name was Jade but we lost the receipt so we are not quite sure , we ordered the steak and for expensive prices excuse my language but THEY'RE FOOD IS GARBAGE! My finacé asked for a well-done 9 Once steak it came out no joke y'all BLEEDING, the mac and cheese for my son was cold and my salad did not have anything on it that the menu said it was supposed too, we decided to give our waitress a second chance and fix it and she told us that our RARE STEAK was well-done and that there was nothing she could do and that if we wanted "real steak" not to come here, that our macaroni looked perfectly fine and that my salad was made exactly how I wanted it. We left almost immediately after we got our check and will never return. Like I said before this is my first review of a restaurant and i hate to be one to spread negativity about a place that i use to love but it has been 3 days since i have had dinner there and I'm still upset like it just happened today, if you want a "fine dining meal" OUTBACK IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO! WE NEED OUR OLD OUTBACK BACK , If we ever want steak again from an outback me and family will be driving out of town without a doubt read more

I thought I would order something different so I got the steak quesadilla. It looked very thin so I opened each section up. A few tiny pieces of meat. How disappointing. I sent it back and got a bowl of onion soup. (Great as usual) you would think a steak restraunt would have lots of meat in any "steak" item. The manager was great and offered to replace with something else and took the meatless item off of the bill the service was great as usual. read more

I ordered "take out" steak quesadillas . I put them on my back seat where they would not fall. Arriving back home I opened the container and all the quesadilla slices were in one big sticky lump. I asked for extra sour cream but did not get it. There was a scant amount of steak and full of grizzle. I guess Outback Steakhouse is past it's prime. read more

I've lived in the area for nearly 20 years and can count on one hand the number of times we've gone to Outback. Why?...their modus operandi is always the same...whether calling ahead with a large group or just with my wife.Easily double the amount of wait time they claim. We arrived on a call-ahead basis for a group of 6 last night and were promised, both on the phone and upon arriving that we would be seated in less than 10 minutes. Forty-five minutes later and after talking with the staff a couple of time we politely turned in our "beeper" and left. I can't figure out why this place is always busy.......I can prepare better steaks on my backyard grill, at half the price and don't have to wait for it forever. Won't be back for sure. read more

My six sirloin looked like a small baby that was just born. Psh not even. Thankfully it was a full plate of broccoli!

Napkins smell like grease. Walking up to the place you see a lot of parking spots, all for take out. It took an hour to get our food....hell a hamburger and steak both medium rare takes an hour left a 10% tip, only because we had to ask for forks.....we'll never go to that place again BTW it only had about 20 people in the whole place. read more

I go to this location twice a month at least always good food and great service! Request Sinead she was our server, very friendly and entertaining! read more

Was super packed, took me forever to get a beer, AND they cooked my food WRONG! They fixed it but I was running late and had to take it for Carry out and didn't even get to enjoy the atmosphere. Florida is beautiful and I love vacationing here but this wouldn't happen in NEW YORK! The out back steak houses in New York are hands down the best, no question case closed, as well as everything else about New York. Would go again tho. read more

My husband and I have given Outback multiple chances throughout the years. Tonight we go and it takes 35minutes for a salad with steak. It of course came with well done steak instead of the medium rare I had ordered. Sent it back then waited another 20mins. The manager did come over and apologize but again this wasn't the first time they didn't have their crap together. We have to find somewhere else to get our steak fix. read more

Had an awesome dinner with the wife and our neighbors here... Kristen was a rockstar and made sure we were well taken care of. Our steaks were cooked just how we like (medium rare is the way to go) and you can't beat that four course deal.. Just wish the cheesecake was bigger haha. read more

Just back from Outback and we were fairly pleased with the experience. Very pleased with the young trainee who served us. My wife, however thought the fries were too salty which might be a minor detail. Nevertheless the food did seem a little bit bland in comparison to other restaurants in the area. I would go back because it is comfortable and the staff were nice. That means a lot these days. read more

This was our second bad experience in three weeks. The first time everything was bad. The service was poor and very inexperienced and the food was cold. The salads never arrived until after the main course. I complained to the owner Kenneth and manager Sara who comped the bill and the owner personally invited us to return at a later date. Tonight was that time but the owner was away and Sara did a poor job in insuring that the meal would be better. One salad never arrived and the food was cold. Sara came over to ask how everything was and I told her about the missing salad and cold fries. Her reply was "you should be a food critic!." Well she never attempted to correct anything. I also watched another server wipe 4 tables with the same dirty washcloth across from us. No chemical, no rinse water - completely unsanitary. This will be the last visit to this place for us. It appears that most of the server staff is poorly trained and inexperienced and there is a lack of quality in the kitchen. Andrew A. Vero Beach read more

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the manager that spoke to us. I'm sorry I don't remember her name but it started with a C. We sat in the high tables in the middle. So close to the other table we could hear their entire conversation. Our server wasn't very attentive. I had to keep asking him for things. I get it was busy but still. I ordered the lobster, medium done steak and a side of shrimp with steamed vegetables. Friends ordered the pasta with shrimp and steak. One ordered rare and the other medium. After a wait that seemed like forever our food came back over cooked. My steak looked burned on the outside. My food was cold. They brought everything but my lobster. My friends steak was also over cooked. And one never got her lobster mac and cheese. I told the waiter it was cold and I didn't want it. He sent the manager over who was very nice and she said she took care of my meal and was nice enough to give my friends a discount as well. The new location looks nice and this is the first time going for us since it opened, but the food and service wasn't good. Hopefully it will improve. read more

I generally like Outback but not this one. The food was so bad that I think the current chef is trying to take down the franchise. There was so much salt on the bloomin onion that is was inedible. The Mushroom topped filet wasn't even a filet. It was a small piece of gristly prime rib. The service was great. the food was not even close to what I have received from other Outback Steakhouses. read more

Ate lunch at Vero Beach Outback Tuesday December 19,2017. Ordered a Philly Cheese Steak( being born and raised in Philadelphia) this sandwich was wrapped in paper and smothered in grease. I should have sent the sandwich back and wish I had. Later that day I became sick as a dog with the worse case of diarrheal I have ever had and had to go to work. Called Outback to at least talk to a manager about this and the manager never came to the phone. Ben Marsalla read more

This was our 2nd year in a row that we had our end of the year Suncoast School luncheon for our Teacher's and Staff and we weren't disappointed. Our waitress was super and the food was delicious. Thank you so much. read more

My mom and I came here for lunch and we had the worst experience. We are bigger women, and our waitress brought us 2 breads when the usual serving is 1 bread. We felt absolutely insulted. We ordered the blooming onion for an appetizer and it wasn't great at all. After that happened my mom ordered a Filet Mignon (medium) with a side of salad and veggies on the side, I ordered a Filet Mignon (medium rare) with the Lobster Mac and Cheese and salad on the side. We got both salads with cesar her salad came with dressing, mine did not. When our steaks arrived my mom's was dry and over cooked. Mine was more on the medium side, the sweet potato was dry. The mac and cheese was dry. The manager came and spoke to us after my mom sent back her steak because she couldn't eat it, he was very nice and we appreciate him trying help us. But we were completely insulted and unsatisfied. Our overall experience was awful and we will never be back. read more

Visited Outback for dinner last night. It was our first time at this location. We both ordered the 12 oz sirloin steaks. They were cooked as ordered and delicious. The service was excellent! A gentleman (who was sweeping the floor) asked if the temperature in the restaurant was ok. I said I was a bit chilly and said he would get it changed...which he did. When checking back in with us, we found out he was the owner/manager. He welcomed us to Vero Beach and gave us a coupon for a return visit. I highly recommend this restaurant for their service and food. We look forward to returning. read more

We work late and love to pick up Outback on our way home since we live so close bye. Unfortunately their portions keep getting smaller and smaller. We ordered a full rack of ribs and a 1/3rd add on. The order came to $28.00 for the ribs and we got six (6) tiny ribs on the full order barely a hand full of fries and three (3) regular ribs as the add on side. 14 Bones on US1 still gives you 14 ribs on a full order and two sides for $23.00 to where Outback gives you 9 VERY SMALL ribs for a one and a 3rd order. Trump what probably call this a RIP OFF!!! read more

We wanted to try their "No Worries Wednesday" menu. It was good for the price. $12.99 for soup or salad, entree and dessert. We also ordered wings and blooming onion, just to get food to the kids quicker. The wings were good, onions were too greasy and soggy. We waited quite a bit for our dinner- 6oz sirloin and Parmesan herb crusted chicken. Waitress came and told us there was a mix up in the kitchen so they comped our appetizers. I would've given this place a 5 star but the sirloin had too much grizzle and was tough to cut, even when it was cooked rare. The service was excellent and it's nice they recognized their mistake and rectify it. Something we haven't seen in a long long time. read more

I have visited the new Vero Beach location several times over the last few months. I have been disappointed 75% of the time. It just seems as if this location is plagued with problems. My suggestion is to pick another restaurant unless you tend to have a lot of luck. It is a roll of the dice for sure. read more

Hamburgers are good but the steak is average. I ordered a new selection, rib eye with bone. It came out looking exactly like the picture, had a good taste but it was full of grizzle not marbling. As it got closer to the bone, it was too rare and it was almost impossible to cut through the grizzle. Disappointing as this is supposed to be their best steak. Caesar salad too garlicky which makes it bitter. Service was good, sweet baked potato good and the dessert with brownie and ice cream was delicious. May be awhile before returning. read more

I like to give every place 3 chances before I post a review. Today was my third and last visit. I am not a huge enthusiast of chain restaurants but this place is the worst. It is always busy and the reason why is unexplainable to me. When we walked in we asked for a booth and were told it would be ready within 10-15 minutes. 25+ minutes later I was still seated in the waiting area while I watched everyone that came in after me be seated. When we asked the host what had happened, she told us that the we were no longer showing in their system at which time she gave us a pager. I ordered the bourbon salmon and it was repulsive (overcooked, dry, and really fishy) and my husband had the NY strip which tasted as if it were boiled (completely drained of any flavor). The server was dreadfully insincere, distracted, and dismissive. The nail in the coffin for me is when I question the freshness of what I am served. The kitchen, seating system, and staff are in complete disarray. Never again...yuck! read more

Even when they are off- they always make it right. Go there often and even when little things go wrong, they have always without fail made it right without us even asking! read more

Skip the Wednesday promo! Two thin overcooked hockey pucks called a pork chop with very dry mashed potatoes. Meal from grocery frozen foods section would have been better. Good waitress but poor/slow delivery service from kitchen. They need to up their game with much better quality control. read more

We went here last year and ordered the filets and they were very good, thick like they should be. Just came home from there tonight....filets look like the ones you buy in a grocery store, maybe 3/4" thick, not as tender as they should have been, both cooked the same even though he ordered medium well and I ordered medium. Baked potato, Caesar salad was good. Waitress was excellent. If you want a 9oz 3/4" filet for $26.95, come here. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love me some outback steakhouse but I will never walk into this restaurant again until they get new employees. The food was amazing always has been, and always will be but the people were awful. My buddies and I went out to go get some dinner and first off the hostess were beyond rude and disrespectful. Looked at us and didn't say hello nothing just grabbed 4 menus and said follow me and sat us down. Our sever was Tim, he was the best server I've ever had in my life but the thing that bothered me most was the busser. I don't know her name because she refused to tell me but she's short and has brown hair, she dropped her dirty dish water on my pants and all over my shirt to the point I had to leave early when I asked her why she did that she replied "maybe you should watch where the fuck you're going and not be in my fucking way" I WAS SITTING DOWN and when I asked her for the manager she said "ha he doesn't care what I say, I've gotten away with this before" I then grabbed my shit and told my buddies we're leaving and I made a promise that until outback becomes more respectful I will never go there again! read more

It was my choice to go here and we asked to be seated, they shuttled us into the bar (which is first come first serve) and left us there. It was a Friday night 6/13 and it was not yet that busy. We then waited about 10 minutes prior to even seeing our waitress, not to mention the table was very dirty and sticky. After placing our drink order she was off again. about 8 minutes later she showed up with water with lemon (which NO ONE ORDERED) and said she could not remember what we wanted. We repeated our order, not hard 1 coke 1 beer. After 10 more minutes we had not seen here again. but in the mean time we hear another table talking about how long it is taking for their drink order. We just left. It will be a long time before I go back. This is the third bad experience. read more

Went with family last nite was not happy with veggies waitress was more interested in her friends than customer. The four of us would not go back again read more

Ordered onion pedal, looked like scraps from someone's bloom. Pieces were mostly crumbs. Vegetable mix was uncooked, with slow service. Waitress needs to learn to have patients with seniors instead of being condescending. Pay attention to your patrons not socializing with others. Substitutions were good and the food was good. Will probably not go back. read more

Zero stars for this Outback. Waited 30 min for a table. Butter for the bread was frozen, the waitress didn't have bread plates ready for us either. Did not receive utensils for the first 15 minutes, I had to ask the waitress for it. Once receiving the silverware, my knife had a piece of food on it. My parents also had their silverware with left over food. We got the manager and he said it was a mistake, and asked us if we wanted some hot water for the utensils? We come to a restaurant to pay for good service, that includes having a clean fork, and a knife. Why would I need to clean silverware that should already be clean? He returned with clean silverware. Then we received our food. The presentation of the food was a mess. The real kicker is my moms salmon. When she cut into the salmon it was raw in the inside. Absolutely disgusting. The manager approached the table and looked at the plate as if that was a normal occurrence, in my opinion did not seem to care and then offered to re-cook the food. He practically smiled as he was looking at the raw salmon. Terrible service, contaminated silverware, uncooked food. That is how people get food poisoning. read more

Went to Outback for my sister's birthday dinner. We had a great evening. Our waiter was Erik and he was fantastic, he Did a great job of advising us on the temperature of our steak. My brother-in-law was even given the AARP discount when he showed them his card. Very pleasant, enjoyable evening. read more

Service was awful. Took a while to get the server, Tabatha W., to the table. Server offered refill on drink but never actually brought them. Asked for butter and cheese only on potato but got butter and sour cream. Not a fan of sour cream so I asked for a new potato which came out with butter, sour cream, and cheese. Tabatha argued with me about whether or not there was sour cream on the potato because she made it herself and she "pinky-promised" that there was no sour cream on the potato. Doesn't change the fact that there was indeed sour cream on my potato. So I just said forget it. Upon exit another employee was in the parking lot attempting to bum cigarettes from us. We don't smoke... ridiculous. I'm a server myself and expect to receive the level of service I am paying for. These employees belong in nothing more than a dive bar. read more

Visited outback Monday 6/22 -ordered flat iron steak Medium it was rare, my wife had ribs that were good as usual and the sweet potato was great. My main complaint was the Caesar salad most other Outbacks give a nice portion. the portion was so small- I mean it's only lettuce after all so why so cheap with the salad?? read more

Outback of Vero was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Management has no clue how to make a filet mignon. Server was the only reason for the extra star unfortunately. read more

Terrible service. Steak ordered med rare came so over cooked. Child hamburger was like plastic and hard as a rock. Coffee took over 30. No one cleared plates starting from the apps- they just kept piling up on the table. They said "we ran out of mashed potatoes" we took fries. Steak comes out alone w out a side. They come 15 minutes after the steak was eaten w mashed potatoes. (Thought you said you ran out?!) read more

First time i went with my girlfriend the food was great, but the service was lacking because of a bad waitress also the wait time even with reservations.. explained this to the manager and he was very apologetic about our experience. This gave use the confidence to go back a week later there was a ten minute wait for of us even with reservations thats really not bad especially when the place was packed. parking is a downside, and will cause issues for this establishment. However, the food was amazing the steaks were seasoned to perfection, i'm a high food critic because i'm a very observant eater, but these steaks were done great. I had the melbourne, my gf had the prime rib you can't go wrong with ethier one they cut like butter, have great flavor, and if your a steak sauce eater you won't need it, nor will want it no A1 needed. The mac & cheese was very well done with a great creamy texture, loaded potato was great, i would say that the fries i was disappointed not in their taste, but the portion size was a little on the small side for just regular fries. Overall the waitress we had today was very nice, the food was great again, and this is a terrific place to eat. They just opened so i imagine they are still getting their process down so it's hard to be mad at them, i would highly recommend this place your stomach will not be sorry. read more

Five of us went to the Outback last Sunday evening, March 6, 2016. We were told that the wait would be about 20 minutes. After a 50 minute wait the hostess explained that they would "set up" a table to seat 5. Since when is it a problem to seat 5? Anyway, as we are escorted back to the "set up" table, I notice a large booth which will seat 6 comfortably and 2 other tables which will also seat 6 people which had not been cleaned. My second impression, why are these tables not cleared for your waiting customers. We were seated. We waited 20 minutes and not one server, not one Manager, no one came to our table to ask us if they could give us water or to say they would be right with us. We saw many servers walking about taking orders, delivering food and 3 of them were visiting one table the next row over. After being in this establishment for now 1 hour and 15 minutes, we got up and walked out. My comment to the server that stopped and stared at me was "I guess none of you want to take our order, so we are leaving". He actually looked a bit shocked. We went down State Highway 1 and ate at Chili's. Guess what, they too had a "short" wait and had a server at our table almost immediately once we were served! The Outback at this location was the WORST service I have ever experienced at an Outback. I have always been a faithful customer of Outback and have bought many gift certificates as gifts for friends and family. So disappointed in this establishment. read more

Fourth time in a row my pick up order was wrong. Last time my wife called and talked to a manager named Corey and he gave us a credit. Tonight i decided not to bring up the last order or credit. I ordered my meal and asked the phone person to have a manager check our order to make sure it was correct. when i got home I found our Cheese fries had no bacon on them for the second time. I drove back to the restaurant and asked to speak with a manager. I was told no manager would come see me and he was told to get my name and phone number for a $10.00 credit next time. I had yet to mention that my wifes steak was not cooked as ordered now for the fourth time. The waiter who was working carryout (who i had tipped 20%) for carryout was rude to me with a smirk on his face.when my wife called when i got back home a manager named nick got on the phone and had a careless attitude. By the time we got to eat our food was cold and we realized or salad had no croutons on it. I have a $50 gift certificate that i will give away as I will not go back to that chain of restaurants read more
