I was craving a blooming onion and despite the negative reviews took a chance. Immediate regret. They’re all true. Terrible cold food that they just microwave and change the consistency of when you send it back. Extremely slow service when the restaurant was not even busy.

Food not up to standards I remember a few years ago. Mashed potatoes salty, filet mignon of marginal quality.
Unable to be comfortable-temp was cold. Restroom was marginally clean, and showing its age.

Arrived at 6:30pm last Saturday and after asking several times was seated after 8:30! Only chose there because I have a gift card, and it wasn’t accepted! They said there was no wifi so I had to validate it at home before I could use it. $118 plus tip outta my pocket!!! To top it off, had to send streak back twice because it was raw! Ordered it medium well. And the restrooms were beyond filthy! Tried to call to tell the manager and call was dropped twice! I don’t recommend the Southern Pines Outback!! So disappointed!

We were there for 2hrs, the food was trash, they forgot my rice, the service was garbage. I would have rather fought 2 mountain lions in a McDonald’s handicapped bathroom stall for a McChicken with mayonnaise…

Wish I had read the reviews before driving almost an hour to get here! Never have I had a bad meal in an Outback. This one is far below standard! Waited 30 mins to get drinks. Had to ask 3 people for lemons for my tea. The bread was good and warmer than my meal. The grilled shrimp had not seen the grill in quite awhile. The broccoli was raw, not just undercooked, cold and raw. Dad’s mashed potatoes were also so cold they couldn’t melt the butter. The restaurant was not busy and yet food was very slow to come out and disappointing when it did arrive. Server was friendly but not attentive. She was tending bar were there were 2 patrons and I had to walk to bar to ask for tea refills after we sat with empty glasses for 15 mins. We will either go next door to Longhorn next time or drive to Charlotte. Don’t waste you $$ here!

Service was terrible had to go get my own silverware after salads showed up nothing to eat them with. I didn’t get blooming onion till after the meal was served asked for steak sauce for my wife twice never came the bartender went and got her some when she saw it wasn’t coming the second time. I wish I would’ve gotten the bartenders name she was the only person that helped us they should make her the manager she actually cared! She also got 2/3 of the waitress’s tip should have given her all of it!!!! We were there 12/30/25 at 5-6:30
I walked out which was my last visit. I sat at the bar for dinner and the staff ignored me. I guess they didn't want my money, so I left. I had been there a few times as I occasionally come out to the area for work. There are plenty of other places close by that treated me better.

A year ago we complained about water coming up through the floors in the bathroom anytime you took a step. Same problem tonight. A year later. Food was cold. Baked potato was overcooked on one side and not cooked at all on the other. We were there for 1.75 hours. And there were only four of us. Servers are so nice and great but this place needs a change. It’s going down fast.

We waited two hours to be seated and another 2 to get the food which is ridiculous for a place like this the environment was loud and the food was sub par at best!

Had the teriyaki skewers and was very tough and the rice was undercooked. The appetizer salad came out twoinutes before main food and lettuce was wilted from sitting in vinaigrette too long
Potato soup was cold and cheese was NOT melted on top.
