Outback Steakhouse

The service was excellent. The food decent. We were over charged for two entrees by 4 dollars each and charged for the dessert.We ordered the 3 course meal on back of menu with included cheese cake in the offering. We didn’t order any up charge items. Our bill was in total 20 more than outlined on the menu before tax and tip.I questioned the bill total.Then went to my banking app and found it had been charged already to my account. Unfortunately won’t go back because situation wasn’t rectified.

Blooming fried chicken!!!! What can I say, always good plus best salad around.

This place is pretty good overall. We have had a couple of not-so-great experiences here. Management is responsive. However, it would be nice if a person didn't have to involve the management to get things right the first time.

Our server Alexis was the best server I have had in a very long time!! She was a lot of fun and very helpful.
The manager on duty was also very helpful fixing a problem i had with a coupon.
We also believe that our server is a better server than her fiance, Carlos!
Thank you for the great evening out!

Upon arrival around 3 pm on Saturday Nov 15, the place was rather quiet – a sprinkling of customers. We like this time at restaurants – before they get too busy. I ordered a ginger ale with no ice (my usual) and hubby ordered a coca-cola (his usual). Both tasted as expected. For the appetizer, we got the Ultimate Trio with boomerang-shaped mozzarella sticks, bloomin’ onion petals, and loaded fries – MMMMMM, GREAT!!! That was a most-scrumptious, delicious appetizer! And of course, the dark-brown bread with butter that they serve – always delicious!! Next were our entrees…as part of mine, I ordered a wedge salad. This was my first time getting a wedge salad and it was absolutely delectable!!! I LOVE blue cheese dressing, and it’s also drizzled with a balsamic glaze dressing. The grape tomatoes, bacon bits, etc., also added to this flavorful wedge salad!!! The only thing I can think of that would make it better is to add more bacon bits and/or offer chunk/shredded chicken or crumbled beef or shredded steak to this wedge salad!!! The salad is served with a steak knife in the middle – needed for cutting the lettuce, of course. On to my main dish – Toowoomba Salmon!! I can’t express enough how audaciously delicious this salmon, shrimp, and creamy sauce was! Keep in mind that I try salmon at a large variety of restaurants. So out of like 20 places, this salmon is tied for #1 with Glory Days!! Soooo juicy, NOT overcooked, and seasoned well (not overcooked or over seasoned)!!! I would order this meal again and again!! Note that I forgot to take a picture of this when it came to the table, so the only pictures are from the takeaway container – shrimp on top and salmon on bottom. The 3rd item that was part of my meal was steakhouse mac and cheese. Being honest according to our tastebuds, this didn’t taste as creamy, cheesy, and delicious as we remember from around 2004 (we used to live near an Outback and ordered takeout like once a month). We don’t know whether the recipe is different or whether there’s just a difference between the Outback in Lorton, VA, versus Charlottesville, VA – all we know is what we got this time was definitely different from what we used to get in Lorton. To get back on the positive track, my husband ordered 2 grilled lobster tails and he said they were really, really good!! In the past, he got steamed lobster tails, but he said these grilled ones were WAAAAAAY BETTER!! His sides were the mac and cheese plus mashed potatoes. Above is his opinion on the mac and cheese, and he said the mashed potatoes were good – nothing spectacular, but was like a 3.5 out of 5. Overall, of course, we’d go back to eat again! Just wouldn’t order the mac and cheese. Everything else – would order again!!!

The staff was lacking personnel on Veteran's day. It took a while to be served. It was delicious though.

I want to be very clear that my server was AMAZING and took good care of us. It was a quiet evening tonight around 5:30 PM. The manager decided to have an apparent staff meeting/tongue lashing to his entire staff in the kitchen. Because of the quiet restaurant, his voice BOOMED out of the kitchen and every word was heard by us all. He had all kinds of issues to hammer home in the name of ensuring the customer will come back. Yeah…he said that. I found this highly inappropriate and humiliating to the employees who then had to come out and serve the customers. The manager proceeds out of the kitchen and then decides to use his inside voice with a customer. Geez. Not impressed with you Richard. Do better. Treat your employees like they are descent human beings because they are the reason you look good at all. Thank you for your attention to this matter. To the employees…I think you guys are amazing and should be told that by your manager. I felt like I needed to say I’m sorry.

Worst outback in the USA. Lousy management. No customer service. Endless excuses but no meal two hours after placing order!!!! No accountability. No food tonight and mostly got less than quality food in the past.
