For a chain restaurant I feel that the service and food were great. Appetizers were a little slow to come out but we were warned about it prior. Main dish were the teriyaki steak skewers which were delicious.

The delmonico ribeye is one of the greatest pieces of meat in history. The steak was perfection and I pray outback consistently prepares this steak the way I had it. Oh man. I’m still thinking about this. Greatest meal in history.
November 2025
My steak had way to much seasoning as it was burning my mouth. My waitress was the sweetest! She has moved to Hickory from Ohio and was so pleasant and helpful. In fact she was the best thing about my experience.
