Service
I arrived with a party of 8, although I had put my name on the list online for 6. When we arrived, the hostess seemed visibly annoyed with me and my family, showing no willingness to help. She made no effort to keep us updated about the hour-long wait. I had my elderly father in a wheelchair with me, but no accommodations were even attempted. Finally, we...

On 6/5/2023 took family of 7 to California, Maryland Outback for dinner. Was advised of a 30-45 minute wait. 1/4 of the tables were "closed", I'm assuming due to staffing issues. After an hour and a half we were asked if we would mind sitting at the "High top" table, the same tables that had been open since we arrived. Ordered our drinks and appetizer...

I was at Outback on May 14, 2023. It was around 1:30 in the afternoon. I ordered my steak and shrimp meal with bake sweet potato and house salad. After eating about a third of my meal, I got up and used the restroom. I had all my shrimp and more than half of my sweet potato left and almost all my salad and bread. I come back after using the restroom and...

Yesterday, we ordered rib-eye and children's joey steak. The rib-eye was thin and not good. The children's joey steak, smelled bad and was full of fat. My son could not eat it. We wanted to let the manager know, not because we wanted a discount on the bill, but if my son would have finished the steak, I fear he may have gotten sick. When the manager arrived...

On Sunday, April 30,2023 at approximately 7:21 pm I placed an online order at the Flagler Miami outback location for delivery. I called for an update on my order at 8:08 pm and the curbside employee very politely explained the door dash delivery driver had not picked up my order. I waited until 9:10 pm and called back and asked to speak with a manager. The...

Hello there, we order out Back Straka house a lot. Today it switched us stores which we have never done, aprox an hour away instead of the store 5 minutes away. We called back with in 5 minutes. The lady was extremely rude at the Estero. Florida store. Hung up on my wife. Then my wife calls back that second to speak to a manager. The manager says we wasted her food and that she's going to feed her employees our food and said don't worry your money will be refunded. Then proceeded to hang up on us. Then I had to order again. I'm not mad that I had to reorder but the disrespect I just received was unbelievable. Please reach out with what is going to be done with this concern

On 4/28/2023 my wife and I sat down at the Stuart, Fl. Outback to enjoy our usual fare. After quite a long wait our main courses came, mine was the 12 oz end cut ordered medium well but showed up completely red raw? I asked to see the manager and a woman showed up claiming to be the manager. She agreed it was "far" from medium well and sent it back to the...

We had seen the commercial for 3 dinner specials. Even though we have to drive 45 miles to get there our group wanted to go. So I called the Glendale az location. Says they don’t participate. Then called gilbert az location they don’t participate. Why do advertise specials when we can’t go there to enjoy them?
One was steak and lobster tail and then there was two more.
Please let me know if there is any participating restaurants?

Dine-in rewards
I received an email on 4/23/24 that stated I had a free Bloomin' Onion expiring on 4/24/23 from the Outback Dine-In Rewards. We were having a luncheon for my sister, so we decided to go to Outback since my reward expired on the 24th. I ordered the appetizer and told the server I had that in my dine-in rewards for the onion. The food was great, the servers were busy, and the food was good. Here's my issue: I did not get the appetizer for free, as my email said.
I would've stayed and had the issue taken up there, but the servers were beyond busy, and I had to pick up my child from school. I called Dine-In Rewards while waiting in the school line about my reward and was met on the other end by an unpleasant representative. I was told that the Bloomin' Onion reward expired at 9 am on the 24th (Nowhere on my email does it state that). The representative also told me that I wasn't the first person to call about this and that Outback was running a promotion but forgot to put a time stamp on the first email and re-sent out another email. The representative himself knows because he was the one who sent out the emails. Well, guess what... I'm not the only one who didn't get that email which the representative can attest to because he said it himself. I reached out to Outback Corporate as well and only again to be met on the other end with another representative with an attitude, all because I wasn't the first person to call about this issue, and I was forwarded to voicemail. I called the restaurant that we ate at, too, and was told that there had been an overwhelming amount of phone calls going non-stop and that I wasn't the first person to complain about the issue. While the restaurant we ate at was more understanding of the problem, to a point, they still have yet to think to let customers know about the mishap the company caused, so we, as customers, were correctly informed before ordering our food. Your company really didn't think to just honor the coupon? Your company made a mistake; I did not get an email about a time stamp of 9 am and if I did, I would love for you to show me when and what time that was sent!
Own up to your mistakes, which I'm not so sure were a mistake at this point because your company just made a ton of money off all of us who received the email. What do an onion and some seasoning cost? $.50 at best that you charge $10 for!? Great scam, Outback! I would not have ordered the Bloomin' Onion, and we would not have had lunch under those false pretenses. It would've been nice to be informed upfront.
Substituting shredded cabbage for lettuce salad; terrible mushrooms
Let's be clear: the wait staff was very good at this Outback (Terre Haute, IN). Sarah C., our server, in particular, did all she could to mitigate the issues. And we appreciate that. However, on Sunday evening, 24 April 023, we decided to have a treat and use some Dine Rewards points to go to Outback on south 3rd, Terre Haute, IN. My wife received an...
Read full complaintOutback burger/blooming onion/cheesecake
For starters the blooming onions, where soggy there was nothing blooming about blooming onions The food was very nasty I threw my whole meal out after spending $75. That is a lot of money to some people. this food was not edible. The burger buns were hard as a rock! And the fries soggy and no salt the burgers their self are hard no sauce whatsoever the Temple Terrace area outback only refunded me $20 after spending 75 on food that have mold on it! this is very unprofessional. I used to love outback now they have lost my business. I would like a call or text or email from the Corporate and also the cheesecake was watery with no taste whatsoever
Desired outcome: Not edible
missing items for curbside pickup order
4/7/2023. I live in Rantoul, IL, 18 miles from Outback Steakhouse and ordered curbside. I should have checked the bag before I left but I got all the way home and realized that my caesar salad was missing from my order. I’m not going to drive another 26 miles there and back to get my salad, I was just very disappointed to find it was missing from my order when I drove far to get it and honestly that was what I was excited to eat this evening and spent $67.00 tonight. I just wish the orders were double and maybe triple checked before taking out to the customer. I’m sure it was an honest mistake but checking to ensure the order was complete is all I was asking for.
Desired outcome: A coupon or refund for my item that was missing.
The rewards program
I was excited to join the rewards program. However, from the first day there were problems getting the points added on. Weeks later, there are still problems getting the points added on. My most recent visit, March 31st at the Fayetteville GA location could not get the points added on. I should not have to continue to try to add the points on the app or have to call the store multiple times to get the points I've earned. Please fix the system. It has been broken for too long.

Gift cards
I took advantage of an email you sent before Christmas about buying a $50 card and getting 2 $10 cards. The problem is I have gifted the card I have the other 2 but none of the cards can be used because there was not enough information in the email sent in order the manager to accept them. The order# card# or the multidigit number allow the cards to work
Desired outcome: Replacement of cards, or refund
Cold meal
My granddaughter plays travel volleyball and we travel to several different states and look for outback to eat at. This past weekend we were in west chester pa and stayed at the Sheraton that had an outback right next to it. Since it was close to 8pm we ordered online and the delivery time was 35 mins. An hour later still no food. I called over to see what happened and they said the food was sitting there and they would bring it to the lobby. I asked them how long it was there and was told about 10 mins. The salad was fine but the steak was cold and so was the mac and cheese. When you spend 60$ for a meal you think it would be hot! We also had a bad meal at the Altoona pa outback, but thought that was just a bad day! Thank you for your concern in this matter! Date 03 17 2023. mary dewitt
luncheon menu
I went to Outback for lunch on Tuesday of this week. To start with, I think the luncheon menu is too small, and the choices are limited. This being said, I ordered the chicken with cheese & bacon. I asked for a Baked Potato which I usually really enjoy. However, this one tasted as if it was either reheated, or boiled instead of baked. Really disappointed in the entire experience! Not what I expect from Outback. Norma Lippke 2609 Allenby Pl. Dayton, Ohio 45449
Desired outcome: expand luncheon menu and reimbursement for the lunch.
My order
I spent over $100 and only one of the three meals were edible. I ordered two prime rib dinners and chicken fettuccini Alfredo dinner. The two steaks were all fat and gristle. Both were way under cooked, I had to place them in a pan to get them even close to edible. They had no flavor. I asked for horseradish, received none. Asked for a baked potato but got none of the butter or sour cream that was requested. Got sweet potato with the other steak and didn’t receive the butter mixture for it either. This was a birthday meal. It was miserable. The last few times I’ve ordered curbside there have been issues but I just let it pass. This time something needed to be said. I’m very disappointed and will not be going back to this establishment. I am handicapped and the curbside service is so beneficial but not when I am not treated like a customer in the actual restaurant. If I were at a table this would not have happened. I will be using my voice to let everyone know how we were treated for the umpteenth time. Your staff needs to be retrained and your cooks need to read the requested order as if I was sitting there dining in. I can be reached at [protected]@msn.com
Desired outcome: Refund of my money
