staff/ food / service
Stuart, fl went for my bd waited 15 mins for a hello 1 other couple in the rest 2pm in the afternoon not even busy . Finally, waitress comes over to say oh im sorry i still have to fix the bills. Still waiting then bread comes and its handed to me not on the table, then the food comes after around another 20 mins and my son still dosent have his drinkthe food does not even look like the pictures so horrible service , staff is clueless, and food is not good at all. Can't even call customer service no one answers so i believe this will be the next restaurant to go out of business.
Desired outcome: I want a refund just to answer the phone and take the complaint
Entire dinner
My name is Daniel Brinceanu. Date of service was Saturday October 8, 2022. Manager on duty Kristen Lockwood.
0273a Table 59 party of 4 svrchk 13 6:18 pm Brianna
We arrived and were seated after using the mobile app to be placed on the waitlist. We did not receive any silverware or napkins, but were served bread and butter. I asked 3 times for silverware, and each time I was assured I would have it. I was rushed to order food as well. We received our drinks well after our appetizer arrived and still had no silverware. The blooming onion we ordered arrived cold and soggy. The sauce even had a film over it because it must have sat for a while before it was served to us. We did not complain and ordered our meals. All the steaks were ordered medium, two 6oz and on 8oz. The two steaks 6oz steaks were cooked perfectly, but the 8oz was cold and very rare. I kindly told the waitress and she said she would fire the three pieces I cut my steak into back up. I politely asked for a new steak, as you can’t refire pieces of steak it will be dry and horrible. They came with a new steak and had me cut into it and it was even more rare than the first. At this point everyone in my party had finished their meals so I declined a third try.
I received my check and the meal that I didn’t even eat because it was never brought correctly was still on my bill. I asked for the manager and she didn’t come, so I then asked for the managers card and the server brought it to me. This establishment doesn’t care about quality control or customer service. I spent $90.00 and I didn’t even eat. This is unacceptable and I would like for someone from corporate to contact me to resolve this horrible experience. My information is included below.

Steak delivery
Worst Steak EVER Daytona Int Outback... My husband has cancer so we are limited eating out. Had damages in Ian and stayed at the Hilton 2 doors down from outback and ordered delivery. 8 OZ Victoria ordered med rare UNEDIBLE rubber. Shame on you Outback 30.00 steak I could not even eat. Why do you do delivery on items you evidently cannot deliver that are edible?
Cold food and never received the whole order.
We went to Spartanburg SC Outbacks. We were very disappointed with the service and food. Food was cold and salads and soup never came until we asked them. Server had one story about kitchen getting the food and about manager being in the kitchen and refuses to help get salad order and refuses to supply the soup. Then came out with to-go
Package. Server said they had no more bowls. Asked for manager Lilly and placed complaint with her. Her story did not match up with Server and was very spacey. Didnt feel accommodated with the results. WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. The same for Gaffney SC very dirty. I get better service and friendly people in Florida.

Purchased with Visa: $ 35.73 + $3.00 tip; Alice Springs Chicken, fries, salad, coconut shrimp, diet Coke.
Less than 5 minutes, I received the order. Wow, how quick was that? When I got to my hotel room 1 minute later; I realized I didn't get my Coke. When I open the plate; I noticed right away, the shrimp was not hot, the fries were not hot and the lemon wedge looked as if it had been squeezed already. The salad had some brown lettuce and did not look fresh. Not happy AT ALL. I haven't eaten the chicken, yet. I hope it is better than the rest of the meal.
Desired outcome: I want to be re-imbursed. $35.00 is too much to pay for meal that was not enjoyable.
Shrimp, steak, baked potato
Middletown, ny location
2 people
Husband ordered steak ribs combo. Got wrong meal.
I ordered steak and shrimp meal with new breading like blooming onion. I ordered medium and got very well done. The shrimp was so greasy that I was scraping breading off and only ate 3 pieces and sent the other nine back. Very very sad experience this time after spending almost 70 bux with a couple beers.
Desired outcome: A refund or gift card for visit
Restaurant is freezing cold
The Outback Steakhouse in Peachtree City, GA is entirely too cold. It is about 60 degrees in this restaurant ( if not colder). I am hearing other customers complaining as well. It is so cold that, by the time the food arrives, the food is cold. I almost left and went to Longhorn because of the cold temperature, but I love Outback and hate to see it do badly because of the temperature being too cold.

Desired outcome: Fix the problem ( which is not difficult to fix).
Gross food
0087 Montgomeryville pa dine in at 3.26 went here on a date never been to outback before hubby has so was excited to take me as his experience in the past had been positive we were seated quickly ordered the blooming onion it was gross it tasted as if it was cooked in meat oil on low barley edible hubby ordered French onion soup it tasted sour he did not eat it hubby asked for butter on top of his steak was an upcharge of 1.99 for butter the bill came to68.32 yet it was nasty food hardly edible we left hungry and dissatisfied don't think I will be going back again
Desired outcome: told manger she said she would have comped us for the sour tasting french onion but did not do so also said to charge 1.99 for butter on top of hubbys ribeye was the normal cost
RibEye Steaks
My grandson had helped my husband all day out in the yard and we wanted to take him out to eat... We all thought of outback steak house... Everything but the steaks were delicious. We ordered the large rib eye and split it and our grandson ordered the smaller one. Both steaks had mass amounts of muscle/gristle in them... We ordered them medium and they were both rare as could be. My husband doesn't like to complain but i'm pretty upset that we paid almost $80 and got bad steaks.
Desired outcome: Gift Card.....we would definitely like to go back and try again.....Thanks for listening.....we (my husband & I) are in our 60's...Outback Steak House use to be a wonderful place to eat.Rob & Pam Gerike
Service
This day my sister, mother and I had lunch at the Prince Frederick, Md restaurant. We were there about 11:30 this morning. We all ordered the Soup and Salad lunch. Our waitress came to the table after we had been sitting about 5 minutes. She asked for our drink orders and we told her that we were ready to place our meal order. Our waitress was Deshae A. She brought out our drinks and then about 5 minutes later brought out our salads. We started eating the salads while we waited for our soups. I know it was probably at least 15 or more minutes before she came back out and told us that the soups were coming. We waited another 10 minutes and she came back and cleaned our salad plates. At this time we told her that we were still waiting on the soup. We told her that we had a meeting that we needed to go to so when she brought out the soup also bring the bill. It took her a while but finally the soups came out along with our bill. I know we were not the only ones in her section but the other tables seemed to be getting waited on a lot sooner. If she can't do the job with waiting on numerous people maybe she needs a different job.
Desired outcome: I would like to talk with the manager and maybe some sort of compensation.
Hostile working environment
Human Resources Department:
I am filing a complaint against the Outback Steakhouse in Joplin, Missouri.
I was erroneously terminated on 8/7/2022 for taking a slice of cheesecake which I had permission from Larry Strickland, Food Service Manager, since I had purchased a fan for the salad/cold side personnel
On August 7, 2022, Devon , Managing Partner walked after me which I was leaving work and he grabbed my arm. I will be glad to send you a photo of the 4” by 5” bruise I have on my arm.
He accused me of stealing the slice of cheesecake. I tried to explain to him that I had permission and he wouldn’t listen. The next day I reported to work an was called into the office and told bt Devon that I was needed at Outback anymore. Larry Strickland was sitting iun the office with his back to me – and said absolutely nothing in my defense!
I wish to personally inform you that there is absolutely NO ACCOUNTABILITY at the Outback Steakhouse in Joplin, MO. A perfect example is that the liquor storage room is Always unlocked. There are several male employees that bring large backpacks to work. I have seen a couple of the guys go in the liquor room with their backpacks. I guarantee several bottles o liquor have disappeared.
There has been three documented incidents where Larry Strickland has been verbally abusive to me and threatened me in front of other employees. I spoke to Devon and documented the altercations and Devon did absolutely nothing.
Devon wrote on the dry erase board a few months ago that if any server does not ‘pre-buss’ their tables – their sections will be reduced. He Never followed up and the same people do not pre-buss at all
There is no accountability between shifts. Aa prime example is when the afternoon servers arrive, the morning servers are just sitting around joking or on their cell phones while no stocking has been performed. The day shift is allowed to just punch out and go without doing ANY side work. No butter ramikins made, no ice in the ice bin, no tea in the urns, etc.
Additionally, the new assistant manager, Cameron, wants to play games. Shortly after he became assistant manager – he was involved in a ‘love triangle’ with two servers. He was having sexual involvement with a server named Destiny and another one, Ashton. Because of this unprofessional behavior, Outlook lost a very good cook. Nothing was ever done about this situation but it caused a lot of internal unnecessary drama. One evening Cameron was running thru the kitchen, for no reason, and ran into me while I was carrying a large tray of food. He ran into my tray which knocked several ramikins on the floor. He never stopped to help clean up nor apologized for playing in the kitchen.
Several of the server trainers are seriously lacking in their training duties. It is so obvious that they do not train new servers to do any pre-bussing, cleaning, or stocking during their shifts. Therefore, new servers just stand around and play on their cell phones
At any given time, a majority of the servers will be standing around playing on their phones while the tea urns are empty, no butter balls have been prepared, no ice in the ice bin, and the potato bar is dirty and empty. It is always the same select servers will come in and make tea, clean up and/or stock. There is No Accountability and Devon does not care! Devon is perfectly content to stay behind the grill counter and cook, therefore, he doesn’t have to deal with the front of the house problems.
Cindell and Bryce, assistant managers have been forced to carry the brunt of the customer and server problems. They both had several chats with Devon about this unfair distribution of duties. Devon has promised several times to change things and become more involved. Unfortunately, NOTHING has changed in the past 18 months.
The kitchen at Outback is filthy! The counters are dirty, paper on the floor, black mold in the ice machine, tea urns/nozzles not cleaned and vegetables (zucchini or squash) are NEVER washed prior to cutting in the prep area. The prep attendants just take the food out of the boxes, cut and bag them along with the dirt.
I am very serious about this COMPLAINT and an requesting a follow up on being physically assaulted by Devon, verbally assaulted by Larry Strickland, and ‘no accountability” at the Outback Steakhouse in Joplin, MO.
Desired outcome: I want my job back - with no more harassment
gift cards used at the Outback restaurant on Wolf Road in Colonie.
I used 3 gift cards at the Wolf Road in Colonie, NY Outback. When I presented them for payment the waitress came back saying that 2 of them only had $25 that I thought were $50 and the other one had no balance. She never returned the cards to me. My daughter gave me 2 cards a while ago that she said were $50 cards and I purchased a $50 one from my score card points from my credit card that I have the receipt for. We ate at Table 39 last night 08/16/22 and we arrived @ 6:15 for my birthday. There's a payment code on the bottom of the check "DRJDVC".
I'm looking at the original check and it looks the server was Jada D. I called the score Card office and I need the gift cards back to insure I was credited the proper amount on the card. I can attach my purchase receipt to confirm that at least one of the cards was for $50. I'd like to settle this ASAP.
Desired outcome: Credit my credit card transactions with the amount of the confirmed amount gift cards and return them to me.
General restaurant experience
Outback Steak House:
Last Sunday we needed a nice place to eat to help celebrate our wedding date. Since we had not been at Outback for a long time, we opted to go there. It was just past five, and the restaurant was moderately busy. Three ladies greeted us at the front desk, and one of them took us to our table. All along the carpet was trash – white napkins, straw wrappers, and all sorts of small objects. The floor under a table near the front looked like the area of a food fight. Several tables needed clearing. A large table opposite ours was vacated shortly after our arrival. A black male with a square container passed us four times during our stay. He just looked at the dirty tables and disappeared. Alexis took our order. The blooming onion had been sitting in the kitchen for a while – it was on the cool side and overly greasy. The side salad looked like a dumping ground for excess cheese – it did not look inviting
The steaks were exactly as we ordered, and the baked potato was very good. Alexis never came to check if we were satisfied with our food. She came at the end to ask if we wanted dessert.
Quite a few of the staff walked over the trash on the floor – no one bothered to pick it up. My first impression was: ‘This is a dirty place.” Other than the main course quality, nothing looked inviting to return. Who is to blame? Biden, Puten, Covid 19, or the restaurant manager?
It was a disappointing visit.

Terrible meal
Went to the Outback Steakhouse for my 38th wedding anniversary on 8.12.22 at 6:30pm. I ordered the lobster tail and filet, looked nothing like the picture on the website. Lobster tail was tiny and I mean tiny, the filet was small and flat even for a 6 oz. filet, it came burnt on the outside and when I cut into the filet it was well done, not medium well...

My husband and daughter and I had a very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience at the outback.. the hostess sat us in the bar area when we specified we wanted a booth in the dining area.. we were ignored when we asked to change our seating. My daughter ordered a steak that was nearly raw when she asked for it to be cooked medium well.. she couldn't eat it and they refused to re-cook it so she just took it home and cooked it there. My husband and I ordered the steak meldellion and shrimp over pasta., It arrived cold and with barely any meat.. our server never asked if everything was ok nor did they refill our glasses.. we heard them ask people around us if their meals were ok.. we left very unsatisfied and will not be returning. We spent over 117 dollars that night for nothing.
Desired outcome: A refund would be nice and if someone would contact me

Overcharged, lousy server & service
I just got back from having a late lunch, and I'm very disappointed! At about 3:29pm, we myself and two grandchildren arrived at the Outback Steakhouse in Milpitas, CA. We placed our orders shortly after being seated. When our meals came the server was somewhat inconsiderate, questioned what we were eating, and made comments that were inappropriate. We had...

We were at the Hickory outback for my birthday dinner at 5:00 p.m. Three of us slipped and almost fell on the greasy floor. The first blooming union was burnt they said, the second one was dripping grease and almost burnt and took 45 min to get. Then the salad was stale tasteless and not good. The steak I had was burned dry and inedible. The ribs were terrible, nothing but fat, undercooked and not edible. The only thing I could eat was the Potatoe and it was small. The men's room was filthy, with urination all over the floor. And two of us have dysentery. The floor was total grease under our table. I would have had a bad fall if not for being in the process of getting into the booth. Something needs to be done about this Outback! You are facing lawsuits for sure. Our meal was over two hundred dollars and was worth nothing.
Desired outcome: I would like to see this Outback brought back to the way it should be. Great food, great service, and CLEAN, and yes I would like a refund.
