Outback Steakhouse

Thank you Outback on Capitol Blvd for helping make my mother in law's 70th birthday lunch a wonderful and joyous event! From start to finish, the service and hospitality of the team was top tier. The hostess I called at least once a week for 3 weeks to increase our reservation number, to being able to answer questions and allowing us to come early to decorate with balloons and to offering placing our celebration cake in the fridge, and our waiter Gabriel who supported our group of 19 people. Gabriel was so gracious to my requests of pitchers of water and pre-cutting and serving the bread/butter appetizers and being patient with all of us. Even at 2 PM on a Monday, a big group isn't easy to handle and Gabriel did it flawlessly! Spencer who is the manager would also check in on us and make sure everything was to our liking. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Having great service and food just added to the celebration. Thank you again! - The Ledbetters

I ate here on 11/10/25. Outback on capital blvd is great. They support our military and veterans. The hostess was pleasant. Gabe, my sever was great. And the manager of the establishment was awesome too. Food was good too. Place was clean. 10/10

I had a wonderful birthday dinner tonight with my girlfriend. We were sat within 5 minutes with a packed restaurant and a previously stated 15 minute wait. Our waitress, Jaylyn, was phenomenal. Genuinely one of the best waitresses I’ve ever met. We were served very quickly and could tell the food came out as soon as it was ready. Everything was hot, prepared exactly how we asked. Jaylyn was always very helpful answering any questions we had. Jaylyn if you see this you are incredible keep shining queen

We had a great time. Emily our waitress was top notch. She was funny, sweet and attentive. I watched her interact with other tables and everyone was smiling and laughing no mater what age the person was. The world needs more people like her. I feel blessed to have meet her! I hope corporate knows about her because shes an asset to any company!

My friend took me here last night. The wait was short the staff was nice. The food was terrible. We ordered the chargrilled steaks. I ordered a tbone and received a bone in strip. My friend ordered the New York strip. We both ordered our steaks medium well but my temperature was well done and his was very rare. The steaks were also NOT cooked chargrilled, but pan fried and tasted as such. We were highly disappointed. I also ordered a the chop salad and what I received didn’t look anything close to the picture on the menu. Our waitress claimed to be so excited about our ordering the “new steaks. She never bothered to ask us about our opinions for what we received. Very false advertising and will not be back ever.

The actual service was great, the food was just a little slow. We didn't mind terribly and they ended up comping our blooming onion so we were perfectly content and ordered the take home steak. Tiny, less than palm sized chunks but for that and a generous side to be $10 it seemed reasonable.

Visiting from the Bay Area for medical treatment and decided to treat myself to a steak dinner. My server Jayln did an amazing job of helping me and explained some new things on the menu! I tried the wings and absolutely loved them. Thank you!

Absolutely outstanding experience at Outback Steakhouse! I ordered the chicken and steak combo, and both were cooked to perfection—tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were creamy and savory, while the broccoli was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Our server, Oscar, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was spot-on. We finished the meal with a decadent slice of cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce, the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. We will be back.

It was delivered in a timely fashion and the food was great!! This was the first time I used this service. Outback is one of my favorite restaurants, having the food delivered was icing on the cake!!! Well done!!!

for several reasons I hesitate to order anything to be delivered in the way of but due to some recent health issues I have ordered dinner from several of outback steakhouse restaurants in the Raleigh NC area. I couldn't have been more pleased if I have been sitting at the restaurant eating that meal I ordered a medium rare filet mignon it was cooked to perfection which totally amazed me and my dinner was hot with a large baked potato with the trimmings and a salad which also came with it which was also great. The timeframe between ordering it and getting it was less than half an hour which I couldn't believe but the and /delivery totally impressed and amazed me. I couldn't be happier about my food in the restaurant or having it delivered both excellent ! pd

Came out to celebrate my Uncle Sam and received the worst experience. Waiters/Waitresses need on hairnets or at least pushed hair back to a clean looking ponytail. Hair flying everywhere. Please do not eat here. Food was disgusting; hence the 93 they just receive in July. If it wasnt for my Uncle, I would have left. Look at that dirt in the celery. Made me sick to my stomach; I sent my wings back. Just throw my whole meal awayThe entire crew looked and acted like a bunch of HS children. it was Poor service from the time we walked in the door. My cousin Tip, reserved a table for 5:00pm. She was there a lil before 5; we were on time and they still didn't sit us until 5:45. Thennnnn, didnt come and take our drinks intol 6:35. #WTW Then as the guest service guy was putting our saucers on the table, he strolling his finger though his long blonde hair. We sat down and gathered all those nasty saucers and placed them at the end of the table until they brought out cleaner ones. THATTTT was my lasttttt visit there! Outback Steakhouse...Count your days. Y'all need another inspection. I still feel sick to my stomach

Wow - Had the following in here when I went to write my review. I have no idea when that is from. I take notes generally before I write the review. "Chris - the best waiter here, in my opinion. Side salad balsamic Hamburger Brownie and ice cream - Chocolate Down Under amazing" 5/2025 They have amazing special - Aussie 3 course meal. For $14.99 and 17.99 we had salad grilled shrimp on Barbie and 6 oz Center cut Sirloin. I had the, very nicely flavored, Sirloin with potato and broccoli because I didn't have an appetizer. The broccoli was Al Dente and superb. It comes with Cheesecake but I paid extra for gf Chocolate Thunder Down Under- you just can't go wrong! Jaccara was a really nice and efficient waitress.

6 oz sirloin was shaped like a small boomerang. A crooked strip. No lie. Waiter said it's a new butcher. lol Bake potatoe not warm Broccoli was crunchy after I said extra soft. Send back and still got crunchy. Broccoli is small little heads. heads.

I went for Father's Day dinner. I called ahead so we could get on the waitlist. We waited about 15min. We were seated at a table, and the waitress had so many tables it took a while to get things. She was really friendly though. She answered questions, brought out lots of bread as it was asked of her. We did have to wait some on plates and silverware. It was really crowded, as expected. They had these new garlic chicken bites, and they were so good. That was the best thing I had. The food was good, and she even brought my mom a free cheesecake like we got with our meal deals. Any time I go back home, we go here, so I'll be back.

Spencer at take out was great! Food was fresh! 5 star service delivered with a smile to my car!

I ordered carry out from Outback. My scheduled pick up time was spot on. I ordered the coconut shrimp, it was awesome and of course the loaf of bread was great!

We used to like Outback food but lately its have been awful. It's not ok to sell a $30 steak that is more than half full of gristle and fat. This is not the first time either. Always late to finish the takeout order, even though it was 3:30pm and they were not busy. They need to discontinue that awful black bread, it's disgustin. Only giving it 2* for the salad which they couldn't mess up too badly, or we were just "lucky"? Won't be going back for a long time if ever.

My husband and I shared our 6 year wedding anniversary here tonight and we had a great experience. Emily was our server and she was so sweet and provided professional, quick service. Thank you Emily!!

We got here a little before 4:30 pm. It was DEADDDDDDD. The hostess said that her server just got there & he's not taking any tables. So, we had to sit at the bar. I was a little annoyed at first, but I'm glad it happened because the bartender was the BEST server we could've ever gotten. I don't know his name, but he was there on 6/2/23. He loves to talk. He kept the bar clean & was very attentive to us. The food was yummy & everything was fresh except the bread. We still ate it because we were starving, but it wasn't what I'm used to from Outback. The blooming shrimp didn't taste as good as I'd hoped, so I won't get those again. But everything else was good. There's ample parking available. The restaurant was pretty clean. They just lacked servers when we were there. I recommend. Just go sit at the bar.

Service and server were great. The reason for a 3 is as follows, when we entered the building it was 73 degrees outside, but freezing in the dining room. Most of the guests had sweaters and coats on, we requested twice to adjust the temperature but it never happened. The salad and veggies were best part of the meal. The sirloin was scorched and very tough. The ribs were fatty and had lots of bone fragments and cartilage you had to sort while chewing and spit out on a side plate. I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the sirloin and ribs, there competitor Texas Roadhouse has them beat hands down on this combo plate. It had been a long time since I died at an Outback, for the $$ spent, I'll probably won't be back for awhile.

We have been doing a fair bit of traveling of late and eaten out more than usual. We have had the fortune of having great service, incredible wait staff and some memorable meals. After a very long day in Raleigh, we headed for Outback, if no other reason than we wanted a known quantity, a hot steak and an adult beverage. Here our streak of good service came to a screeching halt in every way imaginable. My partner ordered a beer and I contemplated what I wanted. Our server came back with his beer and I pointed to red cabernet on the menu and said I wanted the Cabernet from Australia. Our server replied "that would be a white wine for you?'. My finger was still poised on the menu on the red wine so I corrected him and he apologized. Meanwhile we ordered dinner and salads. It took three tries of him not listening before he finally got our identical orders down. Fifteen minutes later, when my glass of wine had yet to appear, my boyfriend went to the bar and explained what we were waiting for. The bartender pointed to a glass of wine sitting there and explained it had been there waiting for quite some time. As my boyfriend brought it to the table he passed our waiter who apologized profusely. The salads arrived then - mine with the wrong dressing. The salad person asked if I wanted it anyway and I politely declined and asked the right salad be delivered. I suggested my boyfriend not wait because I was getting a feeling things were not going to go well. Our steaks arrived with our sides of mushrooms swimming in broth. This was all good until we suggested a spoon would be nice.. The person who delivered the meal agreed and promised to be right back with spoons. We waited and then fished them out with forks. Spoons never arrived. As we finished our steaks, my salad made its appearance and the woman delivering rightly guessed I probably didn't want it any more. We asked to speak to the manager... the second in command arrived. We explained our dissatisfaction in great detail and she agreed the service had been subpar. When we found out the manager/ owner was on site we asked to speak to her... she must have been with the spoons because she never arrived either. However when we left we correctly surmised the woman talking to the hostess was the manager and my boyfriend told her exactly how unhappy we were ... I was too disgusted to be honest. On the plus side, they did comp our meals but we won't ever be back. You can overlook it when one thing goes wrong but everything does, it speaks of really poor management. Incidentally, we couldn't help but overhear our waiter apologize to the tables on either side of us for forgetting about them.

Been here a couple of times -- always because I chose to compromise than put up a fight. This place is lazy. The food is cranked out standardized and uniform as any Outback. The service... the cleanliness of the table, the silverware, the bathrooms, the floors, et cetera... all lazy. Lots and lots of "little things" that add up to "we should have gone to another place" or "we should have gone to the Outback on _______". Last time we went, it was April 20th (4/20). I should have known better, but I totally didn't connect the dots until an hour into our meal. Our server appeared to be SO HIGH and COULD NOT remember ANYTHING as they floated around the lobby oblivious that they were screwing up everything and holding us hostage for 2 hours. I mean, I get it. You work at Outback Steakhouse. Of course there's a 90% chance you get high. But c'mon... have some professionalism. Get high enough to do your job and then maintain until the rush ends.

Back in 519 I bought a lobster dinner and I was not happy with it. The potatoes was cold. The steak was too raw and the broccoli was overcooked. This is the second time that I wrote about my experience at Outback. No one has gotten back to me, but I was very unhappy. Thank you Barbara Speed.

My order was ready..the food was prepared as ordered and hot. The Capital Blvd location is my favorite and very friendly staff.

Just don't go to this location. The manager was a little more passive than I would have expected when we showed her the piece of steak pictured. This was actually the worst food mess up from a kitchen i've ever experienced. People 100% get sick here and there's no way the cooks or runners are experienced. It shows. It was such a bad service experience and there was a huge piece of wax paper cooked into my steak and served to me. Also, it took more than 20 minutes for our cocktails to be served to us, therefore i didn't order more drinks because I knew that it would be a waste of time waiting for another one. I will not be coming back.

Salad was cold and delicious.. We enjoy the warm pumpernickel bread and butter with the blue cheese dressing Ordered the Unlimited Soup and Salad for $8.99 and started with the House Salad and Baked Potato Soup. Well, the salad came first and had to ask for the bread? Yep, you guessed it.. Had to ask for our soup too? Although the restaurant appeared to be fully staffed our table literally received each item ordered one by one. And, yes.. we only ordered the soup and salad. Had to wrap it up and request a "hot" loaf of bread and a "hot" cup of soup to go. Servers were friendly but service was super slow? The "hot" bread and "hot" cup of soup was pretty good. Plenty of parking.. will give them another try at some point.

Pretty Standard Outback, in a new location. Outback used to be my 'go to' on the road place to eat because they are pretty consistent in their menu. I mean I ate at the one in Beijing of all things. I was a huge fan. Was. I keep going back every six months forgetting, but over the last few years however someone who cares about pinching profit out of crap food has gotten ahold of their menu planning and gone to cheaper things especially in the side dishes. The cheese now must be pre-shredded and covered with sawdust to keep it from sticking which makes it melt funny and It's not right on the salads, to make matters worse the fries are now 'crunch enhanced' instead of fried nicely so the cheese fries combined with that crappy cheese aren't what they used to be. The ranch dressing still has that different taste to it which is good, and the steaks are solid and usually cooked correctly. Staff has always been great. Just not the great place it used to be, now just kind of a good mid tier restaurant.

First visit since Outback relocated to this location on Capital Blvd. I went for Sunday lunch right after attending church, and believe I got ahead of the after-church crowd. I was seated immediately upon arrival. I ordered the steak and grilled chicken combo, with the baked potato soup and seasoned rice. The soup came out first, and I liked the portion size and the flavor with the bits of bacon and cheese. The entree arrived in a timely manner. Steak was seasoned and cooked just right, and the grilled chicken had a good flavor. I also enjoyed the taste of the barbecue sauce. Server was polite, prompt, and professional. Overall very pleased with my dining experience.

The service was good, the food wasn't. This chain is not very good anymore. The quality of the food was greasy appetizers and no meat on the ribs. Quite frankly it sucked.

Shout out to the awesome take out team and manager! They have been hustling hot food through the rain and when I had a minor condiment missing from my order they quickly corrected and got me hot food for the wait! Everyone has been so friendly and kind throughout my dinner. I even observed the host and another server escorting some elderly guests out to the vehicle! Nice to see good customer service isn't completely dead.

I wish I could give zero stars, the wait to get a drink was excessive. I asked to not sit in the bar but got seated in a booth in the bar. They ended up comping our entire meal I ended up not eating hardly any of it because it tasted off. I won't be going back. They had a host which was a helpful young man and another waitress in the bar was very helpful as well, but our server was never anywhere to be found. I won't mention his name because we all have off nights but man this was off the charts.

Excellent service everything was prepared perfectly. We will definitely come back to the Raleigh location. I'll server was extremely attended to our needs and made us very comfortable. Everything was prepared perfectly. Looking forward to our next visit. Gabriel was an excellent server for us.

We have eaten here a couple of times during or right after Covid and service was subpar, but they have seemed to have made a full recovery. Our experience last night was excellent. Cesar was an excellent server and Cassie (proprietor) made sure that everything was to our satisfaction.

Before this visit, I had not been to an Outback Steakhouse in years. They used to be the best game in town. Best salad, best shrimp on the barbie, best entree,etc. then something happened and either the service was bad or the food was not very good depending on which day of the week. So I just stopped going altogether. So I was invited to an old coworker's milestone even and it happened to be at Outback. I was excited to go because it had been a while and this Outback appeared shiny and new. Our party of 8 was warmly greeted by the staff and eagerly pushed several tables together to accommodate our party. Drinks were taken and my UN-sweet tea came out sweet tea and among the party drinks were mixed up. Things sort of went down hill from there. My "Signature" grilled chicken sandwich was just okay and wasn't very warm as though it had been prepared first and sat while everybody else's entree was being prepared. There were various other complaints among others is the party, about the entrees, but today we were playing with house money, not our own. So it seems that Outback still hasn't gotten its groove back yet. I don't know what happened, but it has happened across the board and seems to have impacted pretty much every location I go to. The reviews of others here are accurate and the rating is justified. There are better options for this type of food all over Raleigh, especially at this price point.

Came here to get some of their ranch dressing togo. Love their dressing. Hostess sent me to the togo area which was in a room at the back of the restaurant. Waited like ten minutes before anyone came to help. I had togo back up to the hostess stand to ask her if she could help me or send someone there. So she did. All this for some dressing that I couldn't even purchase. The guy that came to help me acted annoyed that that was all I wanted. Rolled his eyes and even chuckled at me for what I asked for. Needless to say he said we don't sell our dressings but I'll give you one small tiny container of it. Lol funny guy. Won't be back here any time soon. Staff wasn't friendly or helpful.

We visited on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2024. It appeared they were not using all tables and had only enough servers to handle the tables they had available. We had about a 10 minute wait to be seated. Our visit was prompted by an email informing us of a steak and lobster special for $19.99. For that price, one got a 6 oz sirloin and a modest lobster tail, plus two sides. We got salad and baked potato. They offered an upgrade to an 8 oz sirloin plus lobster tail for $22.99, plus their regular menu offerings. Silverware and glasses appeared to be clean. The service was very good. We got a blooming onion as an appetizer. Our salads came while we were still eating blooming onion. My wife tried adding onion petals to the salad, and that actually worked well. Salads were good; dressings were good. The blooming onion was more than we needed. Four to six people could easily share one. I'm pretty sure they swapped our medium rare and medium steaks, but both were in the range we would eat. I usually order medium rare to avoid getting a medium well steak. The steaks and baked potatoes were very good. The lobster tails were not huge, but very enjoyable, especially dipped in melted butter. We were full and happy when we left, and considered it a fair value for the cost.

Last night I took a friend to this Outback on Creedmoor Rd Raleigh for dinner as his birthday is right around the corner. We have been here many times before and have always had a good experience. This time was not the same. My friend had 1/2 rack of ribs and a sweet potato while I had a medium rare hamburger steak with a baked potato and an onion soup. The rack of ribs seemed much smaller than in the past and the sweet potato was small. My hamburger steak was very under cooked and not even warm while the potato was not warm also. I asked for A1 sauce 3 times before it actually arrived. I was already half done eating my meal. I would have asked for the steak and potato to be cooked longer but I didn't want to have my friend wait for my food to arrive. I was very disappointed in our meals and would have expressed this to an employee, usually a manager I assume, that in the past would come to our table and ask us how our meal was. This time no one came over. I think the food and service here has gone done considerable since we last came here just 4 months ago. I don't know if last night was an exception or not but right now I would not recommend this Outback and I'm not sure if I will return.

This is my opinion everyone has one. 1-5 Parking 4 Wait 3 Staff 4 Food 3 We started with hopes of having the Aussie pasta but they were out of the original noodles so we decided to just have appetizers. Wings -3 the wings were seasoned well but the feathers on the wings made them a little unappetizing. The cheese fries were not as I remember We ordered quesadillas we're great taste and worth ordering again. Unfortunately with the full house, the staff was spread thin but they did a great job making sure your needs we're met

Out of town on business and wanted a steak. Went to outback around 19:00 on a Tuesday, to my surprise they were pretty full. Sat at the bar and ordered a ribeye. Steak was cooked to perfect temperature, and had a nice marble to it. Salad was good, and fresh. Conversations at the bar were good, I enjoy talking to locals, and talking about football. Service was prompt, and other servers were willing to help the bartender as he was consistency as getting orders for cocktails and specialty drinks.

I have to give Outback a thumbs up for their customer service. Not only did we have a great server (Jazzy Blu), but their new manager Brad(?) was very personable too. We can be a little picky about how our food is prepared or served, and each time we had a request, we got service with a smile. That really meant a lot to us, because it felt like they cared, and that goes a long way in our book. Oh, and their cheesecake was marvelous! I was kinda expecting a cake with that store-bought taste/texture kinda thing, but was pleasantly surprised... this was a velvety creamy and not overly sweet kind of cheesecake. I ate this so fast that I forgot to take the picture of what it looked like when it came to the table, so I took a picture of what was left. :b Thanks!

We came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon , got seated right away but because of them being short staffed we had to wait like an additional 7 minutes till our server got around. I felt bad for the server because it was just her taking like 7 tables in one section will barely no help. I decided to try the boom a Rita which was a margarita flight of 4 different flavors ; blackberry, watermelon , mango and the basic lime one. They were all good could've been a bit stronger though. I also had the brisket sandwich which was just ok felt like it was missing something. If I do come back it would be just be for drinking . Hopefully they hire more help

Ordered layered cheese fries through takeaway. Before pulling away checked to see if they were layered and could not see the cheese so I requested a recook. The recook took 25 minutes and this was the result. Also the takeaway server tried to tell me the first order was layered...I am still leaving 5 stars because the ratings of this store are already pretty bad but still wanted to show these very sad cheese fries. I worked at Outbacks for 10 years and was craving this, I personally would have never let this leave the kitchen. Best of luck to the success of the capital blvd store.

The food was salty over all, I asked for no onions and no pickles in my burger AND GUEST WHAT, it had both. when I told the server he said "sorry" and walked away, the audacity. My sister asked for a refi and had to wait 10 minutes to get it, we understand the servers have a lot of tables but please be more aware of the requests when it comes to the food.

Don't eat here. The places is dirty! The tables next to us stayed dirty the whole time we where there. We could see in the kitchen and the floor was wet. The service was slow. My BF ordered a beer and he never got it.

Was seated down for and was there for about 30 minutes and not a single server bothered to check if we had gotten helped, they were just walking past the table.

Our server said the word amazing 7 times during our meal. Yes, she was amazing! Food was ok.

The service was good but the food was too salty. We sat at the bar and watched the game. It wasn't busy during the time we went so that was a plus. The overall experience was okay & the food could have been better.

I had came in for some apps and drink. Keyera was our server for the night. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable on what to recommend for drinks. She constantly checked on our table. It was very good lighting everywhere. I will be sure to come back and ask for you again. Awesome service Keyera!

I've eaten at all the Outback locations in the RTP area, and this one is my favorite. Wait times aren't too bad, even on weekend nights, and the waitstaff is great. The best of the apps is the famous Bloomin' Onion, with its rich, flavorful dipping sauce, but the Sydney Shrooms, Aussie Cheese Fries and Coconut Shrimp are excellent as well. Entrees - my favorites are the Victoria Filet and Alice Springs Chicken. Their prime rib is delicious and practically melts in your mouth. This is a great restaurant and the Australian atmosphere is fun. Happy eating!

Our server Briana was amazing ! She was very attentive, personable & kind. She checked in on us frequently & made sure our food came out hot ! I highly recommend sitting in her section the service by her is unmatched ! Thank you Bri !

My name is Gerald I put the location in my review.. please read again thanks the location was Simpsonville SC

It was medium busy for a Saturday afternoon and with a good amount of customers, we figured it would be pretty good. The host seemed preoccupied and wasn't engaged. The wait staff took at least 15 minutes to come to our table. It took another ten minutes to order our meals. We started with the Bloomin' Onion. It was fried too long and a little browner than it should have been, but still okay. Next we ordered the Prime Rib. We waited another 15 to 29 minutes for our food. I can't fault our waiter, he was young and still new, but obviously not getting any help or supervision. The cut was great and cooked perfectly. The mixed squash and carrots were underdone and sort of cool. We paid our check and left but my partner and I both weren't feeling too great after. He wound up with a full blown case of food poisoning. I felt rough, but no where near as bad. No going back. This is a definite NO.

Wings burnt. Taste like they were cooked in old oil. How can you get hot wings wrong?

We arrived approx 9:05pm so 55 mins to closing and there weren't too many people in the restaurant maybe 4-5 tables and 4-5 ppl at the bar. This was our first time here at the new location, overall the inside looks nice. The food was good and overall the waitress was nice, but my boyfriend said he could tell she was ready to go.

Quickly has become our date night spot! Iv tried expensive, fancy steakhouse & they can never seem to cook the steaks correctly. Partner is a chef so we get alittle snobby with our steaks. For the most part steaks are normally overcooked, but not at Outback on Capital! Ifs perfect everytime, the herb butter ontop is amazing, staff is super nice. Cocktails are very light and very sweet, just fyi. But for a chain steakhouse, very good prices, very delicious food!!

4/9/23 Outback on Captial Blvd. Raleigh NC . ordered 12 oz Prime Rib with baked potato ,the Prime Rib was half fat and the bake potato was cold also had to ask for bread which should come out before meal . plus tables from customers that left where not clean. Will not return to this Outback.

My girlfriend and I , both got food poisoning at this location, on Feb. 1, 2023. Both sick as dogs for over two days. Not worth it at ANY price. I have NEVER been this sick in my life.
