My husband and I came here for dinner as a late 50th birthday treat. We were seated quickly, with hardly any wait time. Our server, Jayden was friendly, professional and provided excellent service. For an appetizer, we ordered the Aussie fries, which were hot, fresh and just yum! It was my first time trying them and they did NOT disappoint. We both ordered the sirloin cut for entrees and my husband added BBQ ribs as an add on. We both had baked potato soup for a side and I added a sweet potato with everything. The food arrived hot, fresh and was delicious. The steak temperature was perfect for both of us. The manager, Emma, visited our table and was graciously pleasant and professional. We both had a truly spectacular visit, we would recommend to our family and friends. We would also return again even with the 90 minute drive from where we live. It was a fabulous experience. read more

Server was excellent. Ambiance wasn generally good. As for the food - ~Queensland Chicken & Shrimp Pasta was very good. ~Alice Springs Chicken was very good, ~Outback Ribs were good. ~The Half-Pound Outbacker Burger was disappointing, 1) Ordered the 8 oz burger cooked medium; it came well done. The size was not even close to being 8 oz. 2) Probably got a grand total of 13 fries. (A little later -- Got an immediate response, as you should see below here. Obviously, the review wasn't read -- it seemed to be an auto-response.) read more

Well it's an Outback Steakhouse and the food is similar to other Outback Steakhouse's. The good thing is that they never over cook my steak so that is a huge plus in my book. The service at this establishment is great. They make great drinks, they always get the door for you, and the waiters/waitresses are above average. It's always nice and clean in here too. read more

The service was spot on. The waiter had an amazing personality. The food was very flavorful. It came out nice and hot. Blake, thank you for great service and pure entertainment. You made our dining experience above and beyond!! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Dessert - Steakhouses Near Me - Vestal, New York

What a disaster. I usually never say this but I want a refund and I would love to speak directly to a manager or DM. I brought my wife and kid here for lunch, shed never been to an Outback so I thought it would be a treat... We ordered our drinks which took some time to arrive at our table. Which is fine. I worked in service for almost 2 decades. Im patient and understanding. The server was not attentive at all and very unapologetic about our wait times, no apologies, not one. We finally got our app which was fried mushrooms and we ordered entrees. I got a burger and my wife got a chicken casesar salad. My kid got chicken fingers. We waited for about 40-45 minutes. The only meal which ever arrived at our table was my child chicken fingers. My burger never came and my wife's salad never came. I was embarrassed but my wife was gracious about it. We had things to do after this (which is why we dined out for lunch) so we were getting tight on time. So we did wait but now we were out of time. The server did not care at all. Not apologies. She asked if we wanted our food to go, i hesitantly said yes. This was a mistake. The food sat in the car and went bad. A caesar salad with the dressing on It is NOT a to go item. No apologies, none. If I was the server of this table I wouldve been so embarrassed and very much apologizing. The server did not care at all. That was upsetting. I should have canceled the order when she brought it out but I didn't. This was 66$ in watsed food and one of the absolute worst experience I've had as a customer in a restaurant. Now I absolutely want my money back. I have no problem coming In and speaking face to face with your manager or DM. We came for lunch, waited an hour, Never got our food and left hungry.

We had an excellent experience at Outback..the food is excellent..the service was wonderful..you get a lot for the price..great management..will definetely return. read more

went there last week of August. Food was great, exceeded my expectations. It was a to go order, they forget the cheese cake. Hey, it happens. I was nice about it, and not rude. Since it would have been a one hour round trip, Mike provided a gift card for the inconvenience. He handled it well and I am quite happy. read more

Had coconut shrimp wo . Service was also good. Salad was also very fresh. Will go back again for that shrimp dinner.

Food was great but took about an hour to get. service was mediocre at best. The place was clean.

Server was great. He tried his best to make it right and compd the bloomin onion we ordered.. Food was way too salty, almost inedible. Will not return. read more

I just love this place! It's so warm and cozy. Last time I went there was a server at the entrance holding the doors for us, which was lovely. I always go to this vestal Outback every year on Black Friday. Since my grandparents live in Owego. The chicken tenders, burgers, and fries are the best! I love their kiwi strawberry lemonade. They also where very kind and gave us a card that said the next time we come, we get a free blooming onion . I can't wait to go back next year!!! read more

2 times we ordered lobster tails , either the butter was cold and going back to a hard stage or the butter was forgotten & finally when brought out the lobster was cold. 4 Different times our baked potatoes weren't cooked all the way through. After the waitress brings our drinks she doesn't come back to check if we need another. We then find someone to get ours then she gets mad because we asked another waitress that could do it in a timely manner. read more

Perfect curbside delivery service! My order was ready right on time, which is nice after a long day at work. The staff was helpful and added on a card I couldn't use online. The food was packaged neatly and nothing was missing ( besides a few mozzarella sticks I snuck on my drive) Everything was still warm and was cooked perfectly when I got home. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent curb side pick up, French onion soup is my all time favorite. Fast and prompt when we arrived.

Amazing salmon. I love salmon and it was cooked perfectly. My wife always get there's filet steak and she said it was tender and delicious. We always have a great time there. Beer was very good as well, nice n cold. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. We ordered take out from the catering menu. One thing was missing and they took care of everything quickly and delivered it to our event. They went above and beyond - Excellent service! This was the Vestal, NY location. Everyone at the event was so happy with how everything turned out, plans were made with different families to dine in at the restaurant. Thank you Outback Vestal Team! read more

Last Monday evening we went to Outback for dinner. We hadn't been there for a couple of decades, and were inspired to give it another go. We were seated immediately and greeted by our friendly server. She took our drink order and eventually brought the drinks. She apologized for the delay. Someone had spilled something, and caused a disruption. The drinks were excellent. We then ordered, and the food came in the expected time-frame. The onion soup and shrimp salad were good. The blooming onion and fried chicken were somewhat lacking. I felt that the frying grease was a tad long in the tooth, leaving a musky taste and a way too crunchy crust. They were unpleasant and we did not finish either. Wait staff gets a big thumbs-up, but the food remains the reason we stayed away for nearly twenty years. I recommend a short drive east to the next plaza, to find a delicious meal. read more

Service was very slow. We both ordered off the 3 course menu. My burger was well done and had been ordered medium rare. They also forgot the onion petals. My uncle ordered the 6 oz steak medium, and it came out like it was the end piece and was hard as a hocky puck and well done. Took forever to get our food redone, and both meals were incredibly greasy. It seemed like they were more eager to close up then make our dinners right. read more

The service was absolutely horrendous. We were sat approximately 10 mins before the table next to us and were never even acknowledged. They went to the next table first. Our bloomin onion came out burnt to a crisp, we requested a second one, also burnt. The server never put our food in because they were remaking our appetizer. 45 mins later we got our salad. They told my husband they only had a half a bowl of soup left ( the table that got there after us had already been served their full bowls) our dinner finally came out. The food was ok at best. My husband got a burger and we had to wait an additional 10 mins for someone to circle around again to bring ketchup. There were only three of us and they comped the soup and onion and our total was still $100. Save your money and go somewhere else. Definitely not worth it! read more

I use the app to be put on the wait list for 7:30 walk in about five mins before hand and get told it's going to be another 25 mins........ I thought the whole point of being put on a list ahead of time was so you didn't need to wait. Outback Steakhouse needs to step up and fix this problem. I'll be posting about my food later also please stay tuned.........This was my Fiancé's steak and Asparagus the steak was undercooked rare at best not medium rare like she wanted and the asparagus was over cooked.........I understand it's Saturday and busy but still have some Pride in your cooking. read more

Had my mouth all ready for garlic parmesan French fries. We changed restaurants enroute and ended up at Outback Steakhouse. So Ashley gets a huge shout out for getting super creative and making it happen! The servers we had were on the ball. Wait time without reservations was minimal. Service with Ashley and Natalie was top notch fast professional and friendly and we were totally happy we ended up with 5-star service...5-star food...in a 5-star joint! Thanks Outback Steakhouse! read more

I've never reviewed an outback, but it's always a reliable favorite. Nothing fancy, but decent food at a decent price. I also love their rewards program. I was in the mood for steak tonight, so I decided to try this location. Sat at the bar, greeted by a friendly bartender and ordered a Diet Coke. I told her I was following a strict low-carb diet, and did not want the bread, even though I would've loved the bread! LOL I started off with a house salad, no croutons with blue cheese dressing. It was good, but they always give you just a little less dressing that would be perfect for my taste. It was good though. Had the 6 ounce sirloin, with broccoli, grilled shrimp and I decided to add a lobster tail. I always love the sirloins here at outback, always tender and just a really good beefy flavor to them, almost like a good roast beef. The grilled shrimp were cooked perfectly and had a very nice spice to them as well, they came with some sautéed grape tomatoes with garlic, tasty. The lobster tail came out a little after the entrée, but that was fine, it was a nice big tail perfectly cooked and really made the meal. Also the broccoli is really good at outback usually. All in all it was a great visit, it's a chain restaurant, but sometimes there's something to be said for that because you can get the same thing whether you're in Los Angeles or a little town like Binghamton New York. I'll be back. read more

I got the porterhouse steak I thought it came without the bone for $30 it should of came with 4 sides and my driver forgot my niece's drink which made her cry so we had to go out and get a drink and utensils all cause I didn't give a tip I did last time and they forgot half my order so I am not ordering from here cause A isn't not the drivers fault but they should of checked. I gave this place a bad review cause they made my niece cry but they sent me 2 gift cards so I am happy but please just make sure it is checked double or triple read more

Food: I tried the appetizer, split fried onion with dip, which tasted pretty good. As a main entre, I ordered a steak here. It was pretty tender and very juicy. However, it was not evenly tasty throughout the steak. Some parts were tasty, but other parts tasted, unfortunately, bland. Also, though the steak was tender, there were some parts that were too chewy which was starting to cause my jaw to ache. Price: As expected of a steakhouse, the price is pretty high, well, at least for me. I haven't really been to a steakhouse so I'm not a good judge on average steakhouse prices. Expect $$ lol. Atmosphere: It's pretty casual; as people eat, music was playing in the background. Also, despite being pretty busy, it wasn't so loud that I could not hear my friends talk to me. Service: The waiter who served us was pretty decent. He gave us time to decide on what we wanted to order and refilled our drinks. What I did like was that the manager came out to ask how we felt about the food and our time at the restaurant which I applaud. read more

I went to Outback for the first time with my friend a few nights ago. The restaurant was very serious about COVID precautions, and they were not filled. Additionally, they used disposable menus, which ensured that each guest wouldn't be spreading germs to the next. My waitress was very nice and caring, as she wanted to make sure I had an enjoyable first experience at Outback. My friend and I ordered the center-cut sirloin, and it was cooked exactly how we both requested it to be. However, we did think it was way too salty and overly seasoned. The sides we got were tasty and simple. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I don't know when/if I'll return. read more

Jamie the manager is a horrible representation for this restaurant. I usually love Outback, however this experience was so degrading. He came to our table with our party of ten and grabbed my daughter's beer and without explanation stormed off. I never seen a manager so openly disrespectful in my history of dining out. I definitely took offense because we were the only black people in the restaurant and his hostility was reminiscent of racist behavior. At that point we all left which was his hope! He certainly needs racial training and diplomacy etiquette. Needless to say his behavior cost the chain a few hundred tonight because we were celebrating my Son's 22 birthday and scoring 24 points at his college game. read more

I ordered the Alice Springs chicken and coconut shrimp with broccoli. The shrimp was delicious The broccoli was soggy, I do not like my vegetables like that. I need or to have some crunch to it The chicken was not well seasoned. Customer service was nothing to write home about but they were not rude either. All in all, it was simply "okay" experience read more

Stuck in house due to pandemic. Ordered full feed amily meal. Server was more than happy to take our order over the phone. We knew these people are another group of essential workers not being acknowledged for the service they are doing and delivery people are being tipped but the actual servers and chefs are not. We did the pick up ourselves and tipped them handsomely. Hope others will follow our lead. The food was cooked to perfection. Thank you. Delicious. read more

Great service. Good food. Everyone seated with good distancing. Handled my food allergies and Need for gluten free meal with ease. read more

We sat outside in the comfort of our car until they text us to sit at a table. Use the call ahead seating. Everything we ordered was perfect. The outback burger arrived cooked perfectly, and the twin lobster tails were beautiful. All in on the fries and Mac and cheese. The French onion has a great broth, good amount of onions and, of course, melted cheese. read more

We were at the Outback in Vestal NY for a belated Birthday dinner for myself. I was with my husband and my youngest son. We had arranged for reserved seating online for 7:00 pm. Our server was Lizzy W. She was definitely one of the best servers we have had in along time!! From appetizers to dessert, she was on the spot, very friendly, checking often to see how our food was, if we needed anything, super courteous and friendly. Even though we arrived at 7 pm and they closed at 9pm, it being a Sunday, she did not seem in a rush, and chatted with us off and on. Very personable and efficient young lady! We send her a big Thank you and a huge thumbs up! She even comped my dessert since it was my birthday! Thanks again Lizzy! I hope we meet again. read more

Called ahead for party of seven. Got there. Told 15-25 minutes. Waited an hour. They seated another party of seven - even though only two in the party were there! The others in the party didn't arrive for another 15 minutes. Finally seated. Waited another 10 minutes for service. Forgot soup for one person. Filet for another came out 15-20 minutes after rest of entrees. And they mixed up salads as well. The food was good. If you can overlook these issues, go here. I think they were understaffed on a Saturday night. Waitress really tried hard - just seemed overwhelmed. read more

My husband and I meet for lunch here regularly. If you are watching your weight I highly recommend the tilapia and steamed veggies. Fantastic service in a friendly environment! read more

Our first choice, the Beef, was closed on a Sunday. My friend didn't want to go to Texas Roadhouse (I mean... I love Roadhouse's bread, but their steak is meh) and I haven't been here so, why not? We got there and was seated quickly. Our server came by frequently to see if we were ready to order or if we had any questions with the menu, which was appreciated. The 2 stars are for her, the minus 3 stars were for the poorly cooked food and less than stellar cocktail. For $20+ dollars, they should be able to cook a decent steak. It's a steakhouse for heaven sake! We had a medium-well filet steak which was cooked all the way through to complete dryness. My "special" seasoned and seared prime rib was ordered medium, but came out medium well-bordering well done. That's pretty horrible. Sounds like their chef was off their game because we heard similar complaints from the table around us. I can't imagine if everyone sends their dish back. Green beans came out looking beautiful, but looks are deceiving.. overcooked and soggy. We had one of two drinks be drinkable. The holiday mule was Christmas in your mouth. The huckleberry hooch tasted like an expensive Capri-sun. I had to ask our server to add more club soda to tone down the sugar punch. The meal cost $80ish plus tip, which was completely not worth it. Never again. And you shouldn't either. read more

Ordered take out with curbside . I was worried my steak wouldn't hold up til I got home but it was excellent. I recommend take out from them for sure! read more

Had a little wait, but what was really nice, the restaurant had workers walking around the restaurant with food samples and apologizing for the long wait. A few new items on the menu as well as apps and the food as usual was very good. Ribeye was cooked to perfection, daughter enjoyed her fish dish and the potato soup was great. My husband raved about their wedge salad. Service was pretty good. read more
