Outback has always been one of my favorite goto steak places for really good steak at an affordable price. Having been stuck overseas for the last couple of years, this was my first time visiting in a while. I hate to admit it but, I struggle to give this location even 3 stars. The service was very slow, the food was just OK & the prices have pushed up (a lot) out of the medium price range. A certain Texas steak house close by had much better food at better prices. If you find yourself debating on where to spend your precious time & money, I'd skip this one & head somewhere else.

Bella was wonderful, however, the the steak tasted old & was Luke warm, as were the shrimp, salad was not cold, the salad dressing should have been ranch, I got thousand island, bake potato was only warm, but the bread & butter was good.

My husband wanted outback so we went for Father's day and had Aleesha for a waitress and she was awful. She was so slow. We had two toddlers so we ordered their Mac and cheese before anything and that showed up after everything. She did not smile even once the entire afternoon. My mom husband and kids went out as my mom and dad were going to leave with the kids after waiting 20 minutes for boxes and my husband was buckling the kids in carseats. I noticed I forgot the credit card we were using so I had to grab it. I left my phone and wallet in plane site and told the staff member in front I was grabbing my credit card. When I walked back in two minutes later the waitress was yelling at the hostess because she let us all leave. My phone and wallet were sitting on the table next to my car keys. That was after the awful service. I saw all of the other waitresses smiling and working hard and ours was just their.

This is the type of restaurant you go for like your uncle's birthday. The waitress Chloe is super nice and she mesmerized what I ordered which I thought was super cool.

We were here last night, food was delicious and service was amazing. When we left I end up leaving my purse on the chair and completely forgot about it. Only after couple of hours I needed to get something and realized that my purse was missing. Our passports, documents and money were in the purse. I was in a panic mode. Than I tried calling places that we went that day. When I called "Outback" and before I could settle in a deep panic mode I was assured that they have my purse, it matched the description, and they told me that it's safe and it's locked in manager's safe. OMG what a relief!!!!!!!!!!! These people not only great and professional servers, they are also compassionate, sweet, nice and honest people. Very caring, only people with good heart will do good deeds without waiting for anything in return. Yes, they could have not care and things could have gone wrong way. But no, these people are sooooo wonderful, I couldn't thank them enough for sparing me the stress of getting new documents and loosing money. Thank you Milli, for your wonderful and caring service, thank you each and everyone that works here and puts a smile on our faces. Thank you for your honesty, caring and again amazing service and delicious food. This is my spot at Oceanside from now on if and when I am in area. You guys are great, thank you again.

Me and my husband went out to eat here since we head a gift card that was giving to use for Christmas. We had an alright experience. The waitress was really nice. My husband was disappointed with his steak, it had a lot of fat. The food I order was okay. The food could have definitely been better.

Very unprofessional sat at a table for 50 minutes without anyone serving me and when they did they asked what I wanted start off with? I said a salad and got it I never I got served for another 40 minutes terrible customer service they were flirting with other employees instead of serving us very terrible experience never coming back Rushed to close while not paying attention to customers! denying customers because you closed way to early still have 30 minutes till close! Flirting with employees while customers were on the floor! Unacceptable behavior

When the food was served, it was basically room temperature. Only the baked potato was warm to the touch. The loin portion of the porterhouse steak had a lot of gristle and took some serious cutting to get good bites. The waitress was nice and apologetic and offered us a free dessert which we declined. If I hadn’t been paying with a gift card, I would have complained strongly to a manager. The bread was the best part of this meal and I can’t see us going back to Outback.

This location sucks. We ordered pick up a couple weeks ago. 2 of the 5 things we ordered were good. The entrees were terrible. Over cooked and bad. Talked to a manager that was supposed to give a credit for the bad entrees. We went to the restaurant and they gave us a $25 credit. I'm sure you know $25 doesn't cover much off anything these days. It certainly doesn't cover the food they screwed up the first time. The food is over priced, over cooked and just garbage.

Honestly you can never go wrong with Outback, just the bread and butter alone is reason enough to come here it's delicious. We had a party of 17 and they accommodated us without a wait AWESOME!! I started with the peach refresher cocktail and it was amazing, blooming onion and steak cheese dip for appetizers . The entrees were yummy and our server was fast and courteous. Love this place they never disappoint !!

Writing this while still sitting in the restaurant at the table.The service is horrific. I only came here because I was craving a bloody steak and Texas Roadhouse had over an hour wait.Salad was brown and dull. Very odd taste as well.Hostess kept walking away and the waiters were just on their phones.I feel for some of the staff. I don’t think outback will last around here if they do not step up their game, prices definitely don’t match with the service, would must rather pay more at Texas for their service and hospitality and food preparation!When the busboy brought our food he even disrespected outback steak by offering A1 sauce.Westin was our server- he did a really great job and very responsive and respectful! when outback tanks and you need a job. Contact me. I have you covered!

This is the second time we've been to this location in the last month or so and we have been so impressed with service and quality of food. We are honestly shocked that the food has been spot on, cooked exactly as requested with no send backs. This location is working hard! Kudos to the staff, especially our last server Nate, that made sure I had all my sauces and extras! He even recommended some drinks the staff orders on their off time that were delicious. We will make this Outback a regular in our restaurant rotation.
