Reviews for Outback Steakhouse in Clifton, VA
I ate at this location on a Friday evening after running an errand in the same shopping center. The opportunity to have some... week-ending nostalgia for my past experiences with my family was too convenient to pass up. Stepping inside took a littleadjusting for me to a relatively dark space. I received a quick greeting after seating myself at the bar from one of thebarkeeps who promptly and courteously offered me a menu and bread to start. The staff seem to have good relations with a numberof customers and know a few by name which I always find reassuring in a neighborly way. The service I received was attentivethroughout and slightly conversational (another staff person noticed we shared fandom for the same NFL team). Food was deliveredwithin accepted times if not a little sooner, and both staff people checked with me to verify I got what I ordered. Clearing myplates as I finished rather than waiting until I left would be a minor quibble I could offer on otherwise pleasantservice. Recalling memories of years ago, I ordered a Wallaby Darned drink, a house salad to go with the bread, and theirsirloin and chicken combo with loaded sweet potato and veggies (zucchini and carrots). The drink has a smaller size than yearsago, and I actually appreciated the more restrained portion even for the price. A sweet concoction, I enjoyed this drink asbefore and could have had an order for dessert if I thought ahead. The house salad had familiar flavors in the dressing andsalad, although I spotted a piece of iceberg lettuce that had a touch of brown around its edge. Reducing the amount of whitelettuce overall would be an improvement. I enjoy the bread even if I remember past versions being served warm. My main coursearrived with most everything hot except for the sweet potato. The chicken was a little juicy and seasoned well and had a nicechar flavor without being too much. The steak was cooked correctly to medium rare and flavorful all the way through. I didencounter Read more
Had a great dining experience at this Outback location. We came when it was not too busy, so we were quickly greeted and sat by... staff. Immediately, we received complimentary bread and our drinks, and this quick and constant service continued to be a staplethroughout our time here. Despite it being a steakhouse, we were really craving chicken tenders, and thankfully we left not onlysatisfied with our cravings, but also surprised at how good they were (considering that?s not what they specialize in). Thetenders were huge, well seasoned, juicy and flavorful. The chicken also had a great crunch with the breading; I believe its thesame breading used for the bloomin onion, but I?m not 100% sure. The sides were also tasty, hot, and fresh. If you opt fortenders, I recommend asking for a side of bloomin onion sauce for them, as it makes them even better than they are. The awesomestaff and customer service was the cherry on top to this fine night. Read more
I very rarely leave reviews but felt compelled to talk about the team at the Clifton, VA outback. I just moved out here about... two months ago and have stopped in literally weekly due to the incredible bar team of Mike and Kat. Friendly, fast, efficientand just excellent all around. The restaurant is a gem tucked in an unassuming shopping complex, but the hospitality is justtop notch. Great food, cold beer and super friendly bartenders in these two excellent employees. They are definitely doingthings right at this location! Read more
Absolutely love this location! My husband and I have been taking my kids here since we moved to the area a couple of years ago,... and it has never been a disappointment! The food is always delicious and on point. Our server Faith was exceptional, and alwayshad a smile on her face. My daughter has a speech impediment, and has always been too scared to order at restaurants by herself.Faith was incredibly kind and patient with her when she was ordering, and my daughter now feels better about ordering byherself. Hands down the best server we've had. Read more

Came in for dinner and was disappointed by the abnormalities of the staff. The staff have this vibe into them like they're... psychos or just straight up weirdos. after i finished my meal i waited 10-15 minutes just to pay for my bill and get the F out.I stop by Outback steak house a lot but i will never return to this one in particular for my own safety.
