My entire life I've always wanted to go to outback steakhouse. I even had plans many years ago to go as a graduation celebration but I never went so I was extremely excited to go this past weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday. Overall nothing here was bad. In fact, externally the decor and the outside of the building look extremely pleasant. It looks like an upscale restaurant that is better than your Applebee's or at Robin's and obviously the price is reflected in that regard. However, beyond that everything about this place was pretty average or mediocre is how I describe it. I got the steak and shrimp combo and to be honest nothing was exceptional. The steak was cooked fine. It was seasoned decently but nothing really was. I guess out of the ordinary or elaborate is probably what the price was. Indicative of the surface hair was also just fine. The gentleman who was our waiter was friendly enough but wasn't overtly congenio. There also was a mistake with my order which they immediately resolved but to me it seems like the waiter wasn't attentive or able to handle the amount of tables he might have been in charge of. Again if this wasn't a bad experience but everything was just fine. I don't know that I'm going to be returning here or at least not anytime soon since there is nothing exceptional or elaborate that I experienced here and the cost of every entree being $25 plus is not a selling point for me. I guess it's worth checking out if you've been curious, but don't go expecting a five-star situation

I ordered curbside at the cedar hills location they don’t have curbside I went in the door that says takeaway and it leads to the bathrooms no host in the back. I get home after going to grab the food up front and my daughter’s homestyle mashed potatoes had large piece of brown stuff in it. At first I thought maybe it’s meat. I tried it it’s not meat I cut them up and they are hard pieces of something that are kind of bitter. Absolutely disgusting!

In Portland, the Outback Steakhouse off Burnside is definitely worth checking out. The food was seriously impressive, my steak was cooked exactly how I ordered it, juicy and packed with flavor, and everything from the sides to the bread tasted super fresh, like it had just been prepared. What really stood out, though, was the service; our server, Travis, was attentive, friendly, and somehow managed to get all our food out incredibly fast without making it feel rushed. Whether you're going for a casual weeknight dinner or celebrating something special, this spot delivers great quality and efficiency that makes the whole experience way better than your average chain restaurant.

My son and I were in Portland for my hood and commencement ceremony. We had an excellent server, a gentleman. The food was also delicious. We enjoyed ourselves.

We had a great time on our Valentine's Day lunch! The waiter was fun and very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was very good although maybe it's me but things seem so salty these days. So I asked for a little bit of salt on the prime rib and it came out perfect. Good ambiance.
