Outback Steakhouse

I go to Outback Steakhouse for lunch pretty regularly, and it’s always a great experience. I usually order either the chicken or steak from the lunch menu with a wedge salad topped with blue cheese, delicious every single time. The service is consistently fantastic, and for just $15, you seriously can’t beat the value. I get excited every time I go!

To go lunch order restaurant was not cool inside. One side of the restaurant is hotter than the other. I would say it was humid and 78 degrees inside 94 degrees outside. My standing under air vents feeling very little air blowing. Don't know how employees are working with the humidity level. ON A POSITIVE NOTE, the Baby Back Ribs were the best so far. I have eaten lunch at other locations, ordered the same food and found the Brentwood Restaurant has tender (not overcooked) the best tasting ribs. The chef has definitely upgraded the taste with (possibly) their spin on the seasoning (cooked with love) because at two other locations, the ribs were seasoned, dry or not so flavorful, sauce bland. You can see the ribs seasoning and cooked to perfection. Hats off to the cook, on lunch today, June 24th in Brentwood. The best food, so far, is at this location.

My sirloin steak was perfect, I loved it! We also ordered a blooming onion which was so greasy that I threw up when we got outside and I'm telling you, it was straight up grease and I was sick the rest of the day. The employees were all very nice. Make sure you tell them not to make you a blooming onion unless their grease is clean.

Sarah tried to give great service but it wasn’t her fault. 6 glasses of sprite before one had carbonation. Hostess seeming sat us next to a storage place when the restaurant wasn’t busy. We are surrounded by walkers and dust pans filled with stinky food. Overall, odd experience. My 18 ounce steak had 6 ounces of fat. My dessert cheesecake is tiny! We will try the Murfreesboro location next time.

Their food is always great! And great service! After their "shark"-tail 🦈 drinks they had for shark week a while back that came with a little shark on top, we had to try their new "croc"-tail that was supposed to come with a tiny croc on top but they were out, so I got a koala duckie instead!🐨 The drink tasted great and it had a shimmer in it too!🤩🐊

I’ve eaten at this Outback many times with outstanding meals and service. Not on this past Sunday. I ordered a Pecan & Bleu Cheese entree salad, baked potato and iced tea. My ice tea had very little ice and was warm. My salad was wilted and brown. My potato was without butter and sour cream (which I had ordered). The sour cream was on the side and melted on the hot plate. Our server checked only once and still forgot the butter for the baked potato. My friend’s meal was perfect. He had lobster & Caesar Salad & baked potato. They did comp my wilted salad. A disappointing dining experience.

We love Outback Steakhouse. This time it was pretty bad. The blooming onion wasn't cooked properly. The onion was hard and not cooked. My baked potato looked like it was thrown together it was also not properly cooked. My husband's steak was tuff. Just a very disappointing evening. This is a location I have only been to once. So I couldn't say if this is normal. The waitress also kept sitting with someone at a booth in the corner.

The server was great. The appetizer never came, nor did the lemonade I ordered. The kitchen was something else. The steak came out super rare when MR was ordered. My husband also requested cheese on his steamed broccoli, which didn't happen. The asparagus wasn't grilled, missed opportunity, it was realy mushy. It was way overcooked. The staff was friendly and helpful but the kitchen was handicapping them. They did give me a birthday card signed by the staff on duty. And I was gifted a sundae. But I was really excited to go all week and after I was pretty unimpressed. Mgr did apologize and adjust the bill, but it was definitely a series of unfortunate events.

Wow, it has been a while since I've been here but the house salad was great and the bloomin burger was amazing. Service was pleasant and efficient. The restaurant is nicely lit with good music. Glad we found this again

Enjoyed a recent dinner visit here. Restaurant has been renovated and was clean. Service was good, as well as food. Quick on water refills. You can depend on the outback experience and food being to outback standard. There wasn't a wait for a table; which, was nice. But, surprising.

Service and people Top Notch and the food was great as well. Something went wrong with our order and staff bent over backwards to make things right. Don't worry we will be back

Haven't been to outback in a long while. Now I remember why!!! Service was very subpar. My ranch dressing on my salad was hot (like sitting on stove hot) and tasted spoiled. Needless to say I didn't eat it. Then when my Queensland pasta came it had no Alfredo sauce at all. (Like NONE). Didn't get a single refill the whole meal. They were not even at half seating capacity so it definitely shouldn't have been a problem to have better service or for the cooks to get the food at least remotely correct. Also looked for a manager but couldn't even find our server so finding a manager was out of the question.

I love Outback!!! It's one of my favorite chains. The Coconut shrimp is fabulous and their Salmon, Pork Chops, Alice Springs Chicken, Prime Rib, Chopped salad, Lobster tails are some of my regular picks!

Service was so Bad! Waiter was so unprofessional- there are no words. All my fault I am sure, just wanted a nice dinner. Going to another area restaurant now. So sorry for this company. This was once our favorite restaurant.

Service was great! Poor girl! The food was ridiculous for the price. The coconut shrimp were burnt, filet was raw on one side and medium on the other, filet had no salt but some weird blackened burnt seasoning, the chicken sandwich was like half of one, and I think we got 6 or 7 fries with it. They took one crispy chicken filet, cut it in half, and served it as two different chicken sandwiches. $40 to split a chicken sandwich basically. This was kind of a last minute, bring our kids along, anniversary dinner. I felt like I was living in a different dimension. Outback of the past was just a completely different restaurant. Things have really just changed and gone downhill everywhere in this country. For $130...... I could have had a better meal at chick fil a.

Fantastic visit! Greeted at the door with smiles and warmth. We were able to sit down in the lounge with their open seating immediately. Our server Blake A. went above and beyond to provide excellent service. My husband and I both work in the restaurant industry so sometimes we're pickier than we should be when it comes to service and food, but nothing about this experience let us down! We will definitely be back soon.

I know it sounds crazy to go to a steakhouse and order a salad, but the bleu cheese wedge salad and the fresh bread are astounding. The sweet potato side is also perfectly cooked and was delicious. Can't recommend them more highly!

I can't begin to tell you how awful the food was. It was cold, tasteless and completely unappealing. We all loved Outback years ago, but what in the world has happened???? We will never return in this lifetime. Please don't go near this dump as you will be disappointed beyond words. Worst restaurant in this area, with horrible service and totally horrible food. Where is the board of health as this place should be shut down. Is there a number lower than 0....because that is their score.

This was my first time ever eating at an Outback Steakhouse. Our server, Big Rob, was very nice and helpful in ensuring my food was gluten-free. The steak was good and cooked well. The mashed potatoes are fantastic. However, the broccoli was not cooked to my liking: it was still incredibly crunchy and not soft at all with little seasoning. It took a while to get our check and the staff was not as attentive as normal. I would have liked a better experience for the price they charge but I understand things happen. I would be willing to give Outback a second try but i may wait a while before that happens.

This evening I visited this location I had the 6 ounce filet it was cooked excellent my concern is with the lobster tail. it had a spicy taste to it and I became very thirsty when I asked the bartender if something had been added to it she said yes a red substance had been added to the lobstertail to improve the flavor, I'm like more like adding thirst to the meal she the bartender said I could request not to have it added, I advised or be told before hand to avoid the issue all together In closing as a consumer it bothers me that restaurants do things that are not responsible for the well being of the customer and benefits the restaurant I feel betrayed ...

Food was very tasty, and curbside service was very fast. However we were missing a salad when I got home to the family. Order accuracy should be priority 1, especially when I tip as if I were dining in person. Update: Outback management reached out to me and more than made up for the inconvenience. Raising from a 3 to a 4 as a result.

This is better than the other location, however not by much. If you eat in it's an enjoyable experience. But, take out is always hit or miss. This is why I don't tip the 20 percent they recommend at checkout and definitely why I stopped tipping in advance.

So... unless I forgot, I think this was my first trip to Outback. We came for a coworkers retirement lunch. What fun! Of course we got the bloomin' onion which I only ate the breading - I know, I'm weird. The strawberry salad was yummy, the thunder from down under dessert was amazing and I can't wait to go back when I can try the drinks!

Have not eaten at Outback in a long time. Very disappointed in this lunch we had today. Very streamlined menu. Prices have increased substantially. Quality was low as well as quantity. Potato soup was very salty. Bloomin Chicken was greasy. Hubs got meatloaf and very bland vegetable medley. I used to love this place years ago. Won't be surprised if this franchise goes out of business. Bye bye Mate.

Ordered Filet Sheila online and to go. This "mediallion steak tidbit" was as tough as chewing on a tire! Chrispy blooming sandwich was very GOOD. Too bad the steak was so bad

We all ed ahead an hour before we we went got seated quick. Then it went downhill from there waited 10 15 minutes before we saw the waitress drinks came fine. Asked the waitress for silverware waited another 10 minutes so I went to the front and got it myself. The vread was cold by then its. Even another 10 minutes and still nothing. Plate was very served sloppy. When we got the food it was great. We were never asked for drink refills until we got the check. I blame the management for poor training get it together outback

Food was so bad. We had to return multiple dishes even though we were starving. Service was slow even though it wasn't very busy. This obviously happens a lot there because while we were walking out we overheard the waitress tell the table behind us when they asked what she recommends "I work here and I won't eat anything on this menu, honey". McDonald's food is better than this place- seriously:). Caveat emptor...

A difficult experience tonight. Seating and service were pleasant enough and facility was quite clean; however, steak was sub par, so much so the New York strip had to be sent back (I am loathe to do this but this was nearly a cold piece). To my bewilderment, it never returned. We had it removed from the check and exited.

Absolutely avoid the steak at all cost. I ordered a ribeye and it was so raw that there was still marbling in the middle. It was very frisky and the fat was neither trimmed or rendered. There were white strands of muscle that was difficult the cut through as well. My wife's was so overdone it wasn't chewable. Wings, salad, sides were good but the main feature was atrocious. Very cheap quality steaks which was expected but not knowing how to prepare it is problematic.

Everything you'd expect from an outback. We don't have one near us so we were happy to stop in here for dinner. Service was great. Only complaint is our medium rare ribeye came out medium well/well done. Which I know they would have fixed but we have no issues just eating it.

The wait was 45 minutes so we didn't stay. I was bummed out because we went for dessert and I was looking forward to it.

This place was considered a safe spot for allergies but they cooked my steak in butter which I am allergic to. I shit myself, all over my car seats on the way home. The bathroom was also covered in not only shit and piss, but blood too. Our server argued with us on everything we wanted to order about allergies, then didn't even say sorry when he brought the buttered steak out and we asked him to please take it back, also he smelled like cigarettes.

I love this outback!!! The food is always amazing and Our server Taylor (who we've had a few times) is always so attentive and sweet. Their house salad with honey mustard is THE BOMB! I also highly recommend the grilled chicken on the Barbie if you're looking for something other than a steak to eat. They have lunch specials until 4 as well (unlimited soups and salad & cheaper meal deals)

Sat at a table with a party of 5 for 15-20 minutes and was not even acknowledged by any of the staff.

I rolled in to what I thought over an hour before closing. Evidently they close at 9 on Sundays and I walked in 10 minutes before closing. When I realized this and was embarrassed at walking in so close to closing but the manager still welcomed me to come sit at the bar and proceed with my to go order. She heard that I was traveling and living out of a hotel due to work and got me taken care of. It's managers like this who are the gems in the restaurant industry and are truly appreciated. My only regret is not asking for her name so I can thank her and let her know how appreciative I truly am of her.

Low quality steaks incredibly over seasoned. The Ribeye was beaten flat and had a thick layer of salty seasoning. I couldn't taste the steak. Shrimp on the batbie is 4 luke warm small shrimp not cleaned with half shell on a piece of pumpernickel bread. Very strange. If you like low quality food covered up with salt and weird spices, this is your spot. The restaurant is dank. Definitely a competitor a red lobster. Avoid, avoid avoid.

Cold inside, appetizer served after our entrees, vegetables overcooked, poor quality steak, server indifferent. Won't be back.

Ambiance is country. Food is mediocre. I had a 15% off email, but my waitress said it was for takeout only, which it wasn't. I explained that it was for in house dining, rather emphatically, and she said not to be mean to her. I advised I was assertive, not mean. I asked for the manager. Manager came. Everything was fine from there on, except for the bill. $160 which includes the 15% off is not what I was expecting. 25% tax on wine in TN.

If you have an event planned and would like the place from where you decide to cater food to cancel the day of your event, literally at your scheduled time of pickup, then I would recommend this Outback location. If that sounds terribly inconvenient, unprofessional, and annoying, then I would by all means avoid doing business here. Thanks for ruining our event. **initially posted as 1 star. Increased to 2 as we got a call back and offer for a gift card as an apology.

This restaurant is simply atrocious, especially for the prices they charge! I don't understand how people can eat here! I started with an appetizer of Steakhouse mac. Can you mess up fried mac 'n' cheese? Yup, they found a way. The batter was okay, but the interior was reminiscent of the disgusting macaroni and cheese that comes in a box with fake powdered cheese. The entrees. Sheesh! Could you really go wrong with steak medallions in garlic butter? Apparently you can. Despite the appearance of the word "steak" in the name Outback Steakhouse, the steak was horrible! In fact, this is the first time in my life I've ever eaten a cold steak. COLD! STEAK! And the quality? Yuck! I think they took the most deplorable meat on the planet, maybe McDonald's hamburger patties, and chopped them into medallions. That's how bad the quality was. What they claimed was garlic butter added absolutely no flavor to the steak. The dish was completely flavorless and the meat was tough and filled with gristle. Maybe the worst cut of meat I've ever eaten? The french fries were unappetizing, luke warm and occasionally burnt. Again, how do you mess up french fries? The loaded mashed potatoes? Yikes! These were topped with rock-hard, stale, imitation bacon bits, not real bacon, and utterly flavorless cheese. Basically, this Outback is selling horrendous food at inflated prices, and apparently there are enough suckers in Cool Springs to keep them afloat. There are so many amazing places to eat within minutes of Outback, you'd have to be out of your mind to eat here.

Slow service? Waitstaff and kitchen mistakes? Wallaby Darned! Patrons: Your mileage is going to vary, so drop your entitlements at the curb and get real. Worth a visit? Absolutely. I'd not been to this restaurant for a couple of years pre-pandemic. The up-side is that they're open, open for full service, and the food is still satisfying. This restaurant is experiencing exactly the same thing as every other restaurant in the area: lack of experienced staff and a regional workforce that was already thin before COVID-19 and is now reluctant or even unwilling to return to work. The parking lot was nearly full as was the house. Bar service was a bit slow, but good overall. The Bloomin' Onion appetizer, bread, and salads were spot-on. For my party of four, two orders arrived without side items. The kitchen missed it. The waitress missed it. But,  it was quickly resolved once pointed out. Time for a walkabout, but we'll be back!

I went outback for lunch. I had a 10 minute wait - for what reason I don't know because the place was empty. The server was professional, and the food was out to us in a very timely fashion. The food on the other hand was mediocre. The blooming shrimp was amazing. I should just ordered that alone. I also had potato soup which was great. The cheeseburger I ordered was mediocre, and why would you put a cucumber on a burger instead of a pickle... That's just weird. All in all the service was good. The Blooming shrimp was great. Potatoe soup was good. The Outback burger was not good.

I reached out to the restaurant manager first but they totally ignored my note. This curbside service followed two awful food experienced. I told Penny, the one who took my order that they needed to deliver what we ordered. To start the bone- in rib eye was very nice. My stuffed potato was overcooked and dry. My mother's medium rare rib eye was medium well and a bit tough. Not great for a $22.00+ steak and an an overall $57.00+ bill. No customer service response or any effort to apologize.

Love the food and the service. Great food I recommend the Assie fries and soups of the day.

Super disappointed. I thought there must've been a mistake when my order was delivered. I've ordered the over-the-top Brussels sprouts before, and not only was there no drizzle on them, but I received an extremely tiny portion compared to past orders (both delivery and onsite). The portion wasn't just a little skimpy--it was at least 2/3 smaller than usual. Also my loaded sweet potato came plain and was slightly bitter. (I double-checked my receipt--I ordered it with everything). To top it off, both our meals were cold--the packaging isn't suitable for delivery. I will never order from this Outback again. Total waste of money--time to whip-up something for tonight's dinner.

Not even a little bit surprised this place has two stars. When I normally go to outback, it's generally for lunch. Every once in a while I stop in for dinner. We went Saturday for dinner before going out for the night. We probably got there around 730-8, which we knew we would have to wait. The wait wasn't bad. Finally we got sat. Our server, Jessica C, took a while before coming to introduce herself. When she did, she took our drink orders. It probably took her 20 minutes to come back with 3 teas and a water. The beer that was ordered took another 10 minutes to get delivered. Btw. It was a bottle. We ordered when she delivered our drinks. Food probably took an hour to get delivered. I would say about 30 minutes in, we got our bread. When food came out it wasn't even hot. I had ordered a baked potato, nothing on it-butter on the side. (Which i repeated three times). It came out fully loaded. Our food wasn't delivered by our server, which I get. Teamwork and hot food first. The only time we saw our server was to take orders. She didn't come check on us. All of our drinks were empty. We flagged someone down to get a new potato and drinks. I asked to talk to a manager to give her feedback on her server. The manager literally just made excuses for her server and how their tea machine was broken, blah blah blah. I used to be a general manager for a restaurant. I know bs when I hear it. She ended up bringing us tea refills. Our server finally came to check on us and was so incredibly rude about it. She should consider a different career. We flagged another server for boxes. Manager ended up taking care of part of our ticket. Ridiculous service at this location. I will NOT be back here.

Our waiter was Big Rob, he was the best. Quick to come greet us. He was so helpful ordering our drinks and meal. He was so funny and friendly. We will be back and ask for Big Rob.

Ordered from hotel in Brentwood via DoorDash. No opportunity to get condiments , salt, pepper, silverware. Not even napkins provided in order. Food ok, but cold by time of delivery.

Last night was the worst disappointment we have ever experienced at an Outback restaurant. I ordered a half rack of ribs with a loaded baked potato. The ribs were black and scorched, with a lot if fat and gristle. The loaded baked potato had less than a teaspoon full of sour cream, with a pinch of cheese and chives. It was not edible. My wife had a bowl of broccoli soup that was very watery and tasted terrible! She could only each three spoonfuls and had to give up on it. Even the cocktail I had was weak and tasteless. I don't know what happened to this place, but it will be quite a while before we try it again.

Definitely, not like it used to be! The coconut shrimp was terrible! Obviously, they needed to change the oil. We had a steak salad, the steak was very chewy. The bathroom was unclean and stinky. We will never go back.

As I've said in other reviews, a chain is easy to rate, since they're all supposed to be similar. I came in for a takeaway order for 2.5 people and had a drink at the bar while I waited. Bartenders were fine...nothing extraordinary but not bad. Food was very good once I got home. Here's the weird thing...if I could give a 3.5 I would based on what I've said to this point. However, in a reasonable, timely fashion my food was brought out. I was told to take it out of the bag to "make sure it was all there and correct..." WTF??? That's all I have about that...

On our second visit to this location we had an awful experience. Call ahead seating was properly utilized which isn't a huge issue more so an inconvenience. We discussed with a manager Chris who seemed less than thrilled to assist us. We were seated, ordered our meal and my soup came out cold (as pictured). While our server Brian was kind and a good server the manager was apathetic and simply said his location was one of the top in the region instead of apologizing and recovering the situation. We let the server know we were leaving and the manager didn't return and apologize. Disappointing because we are Dine Rewards members and frequently eat at Bloomin' Brands restaurants.

When our church group met at this Outback for Sunday lunch, we were the tardy ones.When we arrived, we were greeted at the door and shown to our table. Tyleria, our server, took all our orders and made sure that that drinks were refiled. Plus, she personally handled the team of servers who actually delivered our food. Can't get any better than that. I ordered a 10 ounce ribeye, cooked medium rare, with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The steak was perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, it was simply low quality meat- not steakhouse quality.The small portion size of the grilled asparagus was the most noteworthy part of the dish. The shining star of the meal was a side- the mashed potatoes. Now to rate this Outback. The service, from the time that we entered to the time that we left, was welcoming. Our served, Tyleria, was fantastic.On the other hand, the ribeye steak was full of gristle and the portion sizes were too small. Three stars for this Outback.

We were hungry, it was close by and we had a discount, so these very factors lead us here! Our party was seated immediately and it didn't take long until our server got to us. He was a nice young fellow. Took our drink orders, appetizer order and brought us some bread. It didn't take us that long to decide what we wanted to eat. After our small-size coconut shrimp arrived, we placed our new order. We decided on the seafood platter with shrimp on the barbi, lobster and crab cakes + bake potato & sweet potato. My daughter ordered the Joey sirloin with fries. It was a lot of food. We shared everything and had no leftovers. The shrimp and baked potato were a tab bit too salty for my taste, but all else was quite yummy. The restaurant was clean and customer service by our waiter was fabulous! There was one young lady who dropped off our appetizer, who seemed a bit annoyed with life or her job... not sure. She dropped off the platter, I said, "thanks" and she said nothing and walked away with an irritated face. Oh well... still overall a great experience!

Our server was Angel. She handled our rowdy family with ease. She was friendly, responsive, and all around great. The food was delicious as usual too.

So, we came here to eat after leaving Costco to await the traffic jam clearance. We got free bread (I think pumpernickel) and it was perfectly baked and came out hot with yummy real butter. We got a Bloomin' Onion for an appetizer and EVEN THE KIDS LOVED IT! I didn't care for the sauce that came with it because it had horseradish in it (not their fault). For my meal, I got the Bloomin' Fried Chicken with a loaded baked potato and side salad. This meal couldn't have been better! The salad came with the perfect amount of dressing already on it, the baked potato was perfectly steamed and fluffy with just the right amount of salt and toppings and the fried chicken was perfectly tender and moist with a crispy crust and I can cut it by pushing straight down on my fork! 10 out of 10 highly recommend! Oh, the hubs and the kids LOVED their perfectly prepared burgers and real French fries! The server was amazing and the entire staff were incredibly kind and happy!

It was a fairly decent dining experience here--nothing super great or bad, but pretty average. In their defense, I wasn't too hungry to start with, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with how the food tasted ultimately. We were seated immediately when we got there in the early evening around 5 p.m. on Friday night. Actually, we grabbed a booth in the bar area instead of waiting for a booth to open in the dining area. The downside of this choice was somewhat rowdy couple in the bar area. I thought it was early enough in the evening to be able to avoid this sort of experience... For an apple to apple comparison with other steakhouses, I chose a 6-oz sirloin (with lack of huge appetite) done medium with sides of steamed broccoli and side house salad. Actually, my wife got my side salad since she wasn't too hungry and wanted to have a baked potato soup which she said it was just OK--average. I was concerned when my steak and steamed (aka boiled) broccoli came on the same plate since I quickly discovered that my steak was swimming in the broccoli water. I swiftly took the steak off the plate and put it on my bread plate. Whew, I saved that one. Steak was done correctly. It was seasoned rather lightly, but well enough that I didn't require to use any steak sauce. I never use steak sauce if I can help it altogether. As for broccoli, it was well done--more done than I prefer. There was no crunchiness but not overly limp either. Server was very attentive and frequently came back to see if we were doing alright. I appreciated that. I even hate to say it, but complimentary loaf of bread was perhaps the highlight of our dining experience. Fresh out of the oven, it was soft and tasty. We actually had two of them which may contributed to food not tasting really great. I'd rather go somewhere else for steaks. There are lots of choices in the area, and they offer better cut for less price.
