Our experience here has been phenomenal. From the first step into the restaurant to us finishing our meal. Our waiter Taylor was very curtious and helpful. He helped my wife figure out other sauces that paired well with the bloomin shrimp dish. We even got great seating at 8pm! I would recommend everyone to come here at least once.
Came here for my son’s birthday it was a little bit of a letdown. I kept hearing the staff telling the people behind us the grill was already taken down and my son didn’t get anything for his birthday like they advertise they do. The waitress was ok but busy trying to get out of there for the night. If a restaurant says its open til 10 the grill should be open and waitstaff shouldn’t be ignoring tablees trying to finish their side work so they can leave. For the price it was disappointing
If you are planning an event, this is the place to go. I hosted a dinner in their private dining room to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation, and the event manager, Jennifer Andrews, was a joy to work with! She was kind, responsive, and professional, offering great suggestions for the space, food, and service. In every interaction I had with management and staff, all were courteous and helpful. When attendance turned out to be smaller than expected the day of the dinner, Jennifer handled that with grace as well. The food was delicious, and our server, Sofia, was terrific. Outback was the perfect place to celebrate this special occasion.
I hadn’t been to Outback in quite some time but found both excellent value for my money and excellent service at this particular occasion. I am unsure of how long the chain has been doing a “three for” deal but was able to enjoy a house salad, a 6oz sirloin, a baked potato with several toppings, and a slice of cheesecake for about $20 after tax.
It was far more food than I could have needed and I was glad to have skipped lunch! Of course, the complimentary bread was included as well.
Everything was quite tasty and well made. I some what wished that the cucumber and tomato in the salad were more diced before serving but remedied that myself. The potato was well cooked. Soft and fluffy. The steak was cooked to the correct doneness. The cheesecake was a smooth and clean end to the mean though I couldn’t quite finish it simply due to fullness.
I also left a generous tip as my water was refilled regularly and before running out at any point during my meal. I was checked on by a man who I assume was the manager after being served the main course to ensure I was satisfied with everything. Everyone was friendly and hospitable. I dined alone due to an event I was attending solo in the area.
Good job, outback!
If I could give 10 stars for Service, I would. Amy C went above and beyond to provide the best service I have ever had at a restaurant in my life and that’s no exaggeration. She was extremely friendly and engaging and funny. Her recommendations for appetizers were spot on. She made the entire dining experience, fun, and entertaining from start to finish. And speaking of finish, she brought us an amazing dessert, the thunder from down under, which was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. I wish I lived close enough to the Bloomington MN location because I would love to come back here on a regular basis just to have Amy as my server.
The only reason I gave four stars for the food, was the steaks. Little bit on the tough side, but very flavorful. Not quite as tender as I would like. Everything else was very good. Adding a picture of the dessert she brought us.

Manager is amazing. And the bartenders at the bar are always great. Service is top notch and they appreciate there regulars. I will continue to come here, and you should too! The filet is half the price of most places. And the same quality. If you love steak. Come here!
The atmosphere in the restaurant is amazing and the staff are so unbelievably helpful. I’ve never had better steakhouse mashed potatoes or sirloin in my life and whenever we get a chance to talk with manager Jennifer Andrews it makes the experience that much more enjoyable.
