Outback is Outback no more. With the abysmal economy and horrendous inflation, the quality and serving sizes of the food has drastically decreased. An order of their usually very good French onion soup, which costs an additional $3 as a side, was served jn a small ceramic side dish. This soup, usually served in a cauldron style bowl, was literally an inch and a half deep. The bread added on top had soaked up all the soup by the time it reached our table. The Kookaburra wings came with celery stems which were turning brown and one of the stems, when broken open, was completely rotten from the inside out. This nasty surprise resulted in some free kookaburra wings. Our waitress was outstanding throughout our dinner and very apologetic. The overall experience was disappointing. read more

We had Brandon as our server tonight. The food was average but his service was excellent. It's chain food the fries were nothing special but my steak was a perfect medium rare so I can't complain. read more

We got delivery so I can't speak on the service or cleanliness. It took about an hour to get our food. The order was correct & cooked nicely. I'd eat here again. We had salmon, asparagus & rice. No complaints. read more

Came in service was good, but the food was horrible taking the food home too my dog. Ambiance was okay food ruined the whole experience... Thumbs down over all! My dog will probably love it though. read more

Our wait is Katie was phenomenal... She was kind and extremely attentive to every detail!!! will definitely be back!

Last night was the second time we've been here in the last year. The blooming onion was very salty. The steaks were very salty as well (same as last visit) and the Mac n cheese was apparently not eatable. On top of that my son and I both ordered ribeyes medium rare. Mine came out rare and his was medium. They really need to tone down the salt and get an instant read thermometer! Also if a side is an up charge shouldn't the waitress say so? So many oddities with that. Didn't bring bread till after appetizer and didn't deliver straws till we had drinks for some time. Almost like she's never waitresses before. read more

We had given up hope this location could ever get it together. Tonight we had our best meal in this location. Katie our server was on point. All the flavors were right on and the food was right! Hopefully a sign of good things to come for our local Outback. read more

LucasGoff the mgr sure does an excellent job with the guests! Our group was 17 guests with 3 birthday girls. He arranged our table and assigned Kay Leigh! What an efficient and effortless job she did not miss a beat.She was great with the children! I don't know how she did it. Lucas checked in with our table asking how we were doing! Of course the food was amazing, I chose the 8.0z filet medium rare perfection thank you for a great evening read more

Food was good and service was good but I have to give a one star for cleanliness. No one seems to take the time to sweep the floor during the day. It felt dirty when we walked in. The thing that ruined it for me was sitting in the circle booth and seeing the grime and filth in the crack of the seat, it grossed me out and had a hard time enjoying my food after. If they keep the front of the restaurant like this what is the kitchen like? read more

The seasoning used is too salty. I got takeout... Requested no salt added. There was some type of house seasoning added anyway. The food was still so salty I took one bite, I had to toss it in the trash and ate scrambled eggs! read more

Went to outback for dinner , it was amazing , the mac and cheese balls are the best!! Although, Ms. Katie Moore went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will be coming back again !! Thank you Katie ! read more

Wow, stunned and amazed. We got right in and seated at 650pm on a Saturday. 2 hours and 20 min later we left. Took 30 min for a draft beer and 1 hr between salad and a sirloin steak. My mom ordered the medallions medium and came out very rare (and they took 1 hr to get them......something was way off in the kitchen for sure as many tablets were also unhappy. Had to ask 2x for 2nd beer, and then asked for a water and never got it (not kitchens fault there.) Just sad as OB should have steak and a beer down pat. This was worse than ever and I have been to OB like over 50 times. Sad as they lost the recipe for speed and service. read more

I ordered takeout yesterday. I ordered the Prime Rib with "grilled shrimp" special. My sides were supposed to be Chopped bleu cheese vinaigrette salad and mixed seasonal vegetables. My beef was supposed to be medium rare. When I got home the salad was just large pieces of iceberg lettuce, about teaspoon of white cheese that was NOT bleu cheese. I was charged an extra $1 up charge! The vinaigrette was balsamic vinegar with some oil and parmigiana cheese it was very thick and unpleasant. The "mixed seasonal vegetables" was just steamed broccoli ". The shrimp were WAY overcooked and dry and tasteless. The Prime Rib was RAW! Not warm and red but cold and raw. The fat wasn't cooked at all. The entire meal was disgusting! I given this place a few chances and they are just constantly BAD. read more

The only thing good here is the steak. Though I have to admit I came in with low expectations. I had the prime rib and it was surprisingly flavorful. But all of our sides were bad. The salads were horrible. The Cesar had no flavor. The blue cheese and pecan chopped salad was oily. OILY?!! So thy just pour oil all over it instead of dressing? I put oil and vinegar on salads some times, but this salad was like they poured the oil on it two weeks ago so it was nice and soaked in. The cheese on the cheddar broccoli was like generic Velveeta. Service is friendly, if not slow. Will not be back. So many better options. read more

2 worst steaks I have had in my life are the last 2 I got from this place. How you manage to over cook a steak and still serve it cold is astonishing. read more

I can't understand why this outback only has 3 stars.. the service was great the food came out super quickly and the vibe was great! You have to wear a mask to enter but once you're seated you can remove it. The menu is on the table as a QR code, you scan it with your phone and are able to look at the entire menu with your phone, no germs! The bloomin onion we ordered was as always totally delicious. My boyfriend and I both ordered the outback center cut with a side of loaded baked potato and the house salad! Everything was great, we loved it all! read more

I guess you have to leave at least one star. I was going in for back surgery so I thought I would treat the person driving me to the hospital. Huge mistake. We pretty much ordered the same thing. The boneless ribeye, I ordered mac and cheese and a loaded baked potato. Prior to that I ordered the fried mushrooms. Also a big mistake but we were hungry. I should have sent the whole thing back. The fried mushrooms were dripping with what appeared to be over used oil. It was dark brown and when I dipped it in the dressing it left a puddle. The steaks were slathered in pepper and they were greasy as well. The mac and cheese was dry and unappealing. As for the loaded backed potato, it too was dry, the skin was hard and it had very little toppings on it. To top it off their tap beer was not working. Something to do with the refrigerant. For one of the most expensive meals on their menu it appeared as though they must have hired a burger flipper from a second rate fast food chain. Horrible experience and I have to wonder it that is how the whole chain is going. Finally when I got home I got violently sick which put my surgery in jeopardy. Waste of $94.36 read more

i just love outback so much! specifically this one, the staff is amazing always so friendly. the steaks are always just how i ask (medium-well). and it's also just a cool more relaxed environment that i enjoy. read more

This place has become a joke. We were seated at 6:30. Waitress took our order at 6:40. Our food finally arrived at 7:50!! The restaurant was only half full the entire time. This is not an isolated incident either but a recurring theme. This is a follow up 2 months later. We again arrived at 6:30 on a Friday evening and waited an hour and a half before the manger came over with a lame excuse about the wait time. The family seated next to us we're almost asleep waiting for their meal before we both got up and left. The management team should be fired immediately. Absolute shit show. read more

First time here, in town on business and regularly visit Outback in other markets. I won't be back to this one. We dined at the bar. The bartender Nick was rude and unprofessional. Treated us poorly when we sat down, we immediately felt unwelcome and the level of service that followed was just disrespectful and inhospitable. Don't take my word for it managers, pay attention and you'll see why you have a 2.5 rating it wasn't just us he had an attitude with. read more

Poor service followed poor food. Waited at table for more than 15 minutes and was never approached. So I moved to the bar. Service was better there. I got a drink and ordered. Ordered the AHI appetizer. Presentation was awful and the tuna was just all grizzle and old. Left most of it. Would never go back. Definitely don't recommend. read more

We're here for the first time. I had no idea what to expect. So no risk no fun. The menu offers a large variety of different entrees. Take some time to study and find the right stuff you're in the mood for. I had the steak quesadillas. Just average. It was more like a pancake with steak and cheese. As a starter we had the creamy shrimp scampi dip. This was very good. Downside is the pricing. A diner for 4 can get expensive. read more

This review is outrageously overdue! I have been meaning for months to get on here and give MAJOR PROPS to the good folks at this Outback Steakhouse! We came down from New England in May to check on my mum (who had been alone since the pandemic hit), and we placed what must have been the most convoluted order ever. Between indecision, a vegetarian in the group, more indecision, six orders plus some apps to share, changing of the indecisions to more decisions and revisions-- and the whole thing to go asap with my teenagers shouting more changes in the background the whole time?? Well, seriously, I think that Rhiannon deserves a medal! Chelsea had all the food ready to go, right on time; and she made a point to review it with us (since we had changed the order no less than seven times!) to make sure that they had everything just the way we wanted it. Then, once we got home and happily stuffed our faces with delicious food... they CALLED to make sure that we were happy with everything! I pretty much never write reviews for chains, but seriously, who provides that kind of customer service these days?? Let alone, in the middle of a world-wide pandemic... Color me impressed! Next time we are down that way, we will be back for that reason alone! Good service earns my loyalty every time! When you add in some pretty delicious food at extremely reasonable prices? Winner, winner, Outback for dinner! read more

The service was amazing as always, my server was Katie she was great! I have a wheat allergy and they always take every precaution to ensure I have a safe meal. I had a lovely date with my husband thanks to Outback! read more

The new Kingsland Steak and Shrimp Pasta was a disappointment. The perfectly cooked steak (medallions?) were about 80% inedible, due to the rubbery/grisly nature of the cut. Also, some parts were charred. The shrimp was large and juicy, but noticeably lacked any flavor. The fettuccini noodles were abundant but only a thin drizzle of alfredo sauce across the steak/shrimp was allotted for the dish. Does not travel well for delivery, due to temperature loss. My husband had the ribeye and loaded mashed potatoes. They were expertly prepared. He enjoyed them as one would imagine Ron Swanson does. The salads were fresh, with quality produce (which he actually ate. Kudos, OB! 3 Stars because the food is historically pretty good (and I'm a bit grouchy because I should have ordered the ribeye, and I ate a salad and bland asf shrimp for dinner, so feel my pedestrian wrath!). read more

At first I was excited to be able to come back out to eat here at Outback. Ordered my wings like I typically do every time I come they are the absolute best in the world. Upon negotiating with myself I ordered a prime rib and to my disappointment 15 minutes later find out that they're out of it. Then I get my meal in the chef decided to substitute my vegetable on his own and now I'm stuck here with the new meal that I ordered and now I'm frustrated as can be read more

The food is what you expect of any Outback. The service at this Outback is constantly poor. When you want a meal that is just ok in the worst way, this is your place. read more

menu is misleading, didn't have the prime rib on the weekend when menu clearly said it was. service was ok but for a restaurant that was only half full and a full staff was working food took awhile to arrive for a shrimp dish ( shrimp cooks fast) wouldn't recommend read more

We waited 10 mins to be greeted by a server. When we were greeted we were told that she was not told she had a table when she helped the people who were seated after is right next to us. Our waters were never refilled through our entire visit. Medium steak was ordered and a rare steak was delivered. When the waitress was informed about this mistake the same steak came back burnt. Then our card was charged for someone else's meal. We never come here and now we remember why. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I have reached out to corporate, waiting on response. I remember Outback with a sense of urgency and purpose in hospitality, yet this location has severely faltered in both of these aspects and many more in the last few visits. This last visit was on Sunday, in the later part of the afternoon, and will sadly be the last time we ever consider this location to be one we visit. Both myself and my fiance are members of the industry, so we are incredibly patient when it comes to lack luster service as we get it. It may not be for everyone, or we all have a bad day. After sitting on publicly writing a review for over 24 hours and awaiting a proper response from corporate, I have decided that the lack of communication from kitchen/server to management and the lack of situational awareness from management to acknowledge and approach the problem is really what is upsetting me. Our table alone was there for over an hour with no entrees. We sat alongside 2 other tables that also were not served in that time frame. While I understand that they may not have been ready to order once being sat, what I cant understand is 30+ minutes of each of us waiting for entrees and the "3" managers I witnessed in the building not speaking to one table in the building AT ALL. Even the ones who had food. They were more inclined to bus tables that had already been dirty for over 15 minutes after we were sat (even with a bus person walking aimlessly around with a bus cart with no sense of purpose) or setting tables for large parties that in my opinion shouldnt be sat considering the lack of tenacity of their kitchen wanting to get food out of the kitchen and in front of people already in the establishment. And to the gentleman in a manager shirt who was apparently at the end of his shift, you are still in a managers uniform. Walking around the restaurant with your shirt untucked and things iver your shoulders joking with the servers and talking about how sh*tty your shift was... your clientel sees that. Do better. Not only did the server forget to put my 2 year olds meal in completely, he brought my entree salad with the soup and salad prior and then we had to wait 30+ minutes for everyone elses food... which didn't even properly arrive, and we were still charged full price and my salad was soggy and mostly gone at that point due to picking because of the wait. No acknowledgment from management or even the server apologizing for missing her mac n cheese. Icing on the cake.... pulling out of the parking lot to see what was to be said as the gm smoking her vape with the bartender and a kitchen guy. All in uniform. What a joke. We asked for the check 4 minutes after getting our entrees because of frustration, left 8 minutes after. Any one of the managers should have been present to even just apologize at a 20 min ticket time. Corporate, if you're reading this, considering you've responded to others' comments and have yet to respond to my email, I have a copy of my receipt and would like a full refund for a meal my family didnt get to eat together or enjoy. If not, I highly highly recommend anyone that is looking to dine at this establishment, don't waste your money, time or energy. Its been going downhill for years. Do better than what you have right now because this isn't a place I would ever consider going to again. read more

Slow service and still no WiFi even after being open at the new location on State Road 60 in West Vero Beach for several months. In possession of a $200 gift card that I've had since Christmas, I've been here 4 times over the last several months. It's a new Outback Steakhouse in a new location, so it has to be clean. Parking is tight and this restaurant is packed during lunch and dinner. I suggest coming a bit early or even a bit late. Chicken tacos that taste like fish, overcooked coconut shrimp, and even forgotten soup on a lunch soup/sandwich special. Ask Joseph about that one - he was our server. On another occasion, our server Rachel took 20 minutes to process a drink order and another 40 minutes to produce my dinner. With three small kids, I don't have an hour to burn waiting for dinner. Staff and management at this Outback Steakhouse are friendly and polite. With that said, they should've worked the kinks out by now to run a seamless operation. That hasn't happened.

Both of us got the prime rib special and coconut shrimp appetizers. Appetizers were totally overcooked, prime was over spiced even though we asked for light spice at our waitress advice. Worst bday dinner. Will not be returning to this Outback. Waitress was awesome too bad she didn't cook. read more

Sit at the bar and talk to Nick! His service is top notch!!! The food is usually good.

This was our 2nd x at this establishment a disappointment again, this time we ended up walking out . We sat there and waited after we ordered watched 1 couple get their food (ribs) ate them , paid and was leaving, another table came in after us, received their salads. Oh we are still waiting the place is Not busy At All. We said to each other this is not good it is taking way too long for our meals to come out. Well they finally came out ( our meals) broccoli was ice cold , the queen's meal with chicken the sauce looked like a film on it ??cold. Never tried either got up and left. Was in parking lot in car management came out listened to what I said to what happened and said Nothing we left, terrible. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE GET NEW KITCHEN HELP, NO MANAGEMENT WALKING AROUND TO TABLES LIKE WE HAVE SEEN YEARS AGO. WILL NOT BE AT THIS OUTBACK AGAIN. read more

Sorry to say the Outback has gone downhill. Ate there last week the salad was so bad and gross look like the greens were weeks old, sent it back my husband's prime ribs were so fatty and tuff-and small the manager came and agreed it was on the thin side brought another small piece which was just as bad. My coconut shrimp were over cooked and dry. One of the saddest things was the runner was a man the need clean up a little and roll his shirt sleeve up so they wouldn't drag over the food he was taking to the tables.we were lucky if you can call it lucky a young woman brought our food out it didn't help the food but it did make it easier to eat. I'm sad to say we won't be going back to this Outback. It use to be much better. read more

The steak was cooked to perfection. It was all you can eat shrimp and they kept bringing out the delicious shrimp with a smile. The manager John kept stopping by to make sure that everything was just right. Our waitress Gina was top notch! We have been to this outback many times in the year that we have lived in Vero Beach, and each time is a treat! read more
