Reviews for Outback Steakhouse in Columbia, SC
We had a party of 23 for my father-in- law?s 80th birthday celebration at this location today! Our server Ajhia P was amazing!... She made sure everyone was happy, especially my father-in-law! Thank you Outback for the good food and excellent customerservice provided by Ajhia! Read more
The Outback style heavily seasoned slow roasted prime rib was second best that I have ever had! It was SO great. It comes as... two size options. I ordered the 12 oz for $24.99 (not the 16 oz) and it was a large thick cut. It came with two sides and thetangy tomato dressing for their side salad is always such a good kick. The Blueberry Lavender Lemonade ($7) is a good adultbeverage and I don?t normally enjoy lemonade. I will return many times for the Outback style prime rib (had mine medium rare)with creamy horseradish and au jus. The seasoning was fantastic and prime rib was cooked exactly how I asked! Highlyrecommend! Shout out to Marcus G. for good service. I wish every time I ate out, the food and service made me this happy. Read more
The woman at the door wanted me to sit at the bar while other can sit anywhere. (Minus one star ?) The bartenders weren't as... friendly but I forced them to smile. The regulars get most of the service ( Another star deduction ?) I have been to a fewsteakhouses and this one will be rated as average which means I had better. The funny thing.. Only the Marriott in downtownColumbia can make a proper lemon drop. I have them 3 tries. One was not shaken with ice but was pour together. Training. Do Ihave to call Bar Rescue to this place?? The dinner made up for the rest. So cheers for the cooks. ???? Read more
Everything was excellent, food, service, and drinks!!! The appetizer below was the bomb! The blooming fried shrimp. Our server... Brittany made our night great!!! Thanks for an awesome date night! Read more
If steaks were nothing but thick shoe leather, this meal would be a perfect experience. Outback steakhouse is a shadow of it's... former self. I honestly don't know why I keep going back. It's like they are everywhere, so it's easy. I tell myself, "Self,maybe this time they won't totally screw it up". But alas, every time I have ordered anything from Outback Steakhouse in thelast ten years, it has been dreadful. Do yourself a favor, and order food from Texas Roadhouse. They still care about quality,and their steaks far surpass the quasi-protein grey lumps of canvas that Outback serves as steaks. Read more
Let me start by saying I am really giving them a 3.5. But idk how to do half a star. So me and the family went there a few days... ago to celebrate my step son birthday. The big 11.. he wanted to go there for his birthday. Now keep in mind none of us everate there before. So i went in a bit skeptical. And i am.not a big steak fan. So just ordering took a minute. The one steakitem I wanted to try they sauce that came with it.. they were out so I was not happy about that. But we all ordered. I got arib and chicken plate. And to my surprise the food was actually pretty good. The free bread they gave was fresh and delicious. The employees seemed nice. Service was a little slow. Which I was shocked because it was not packed. But other than that. Itwas a surprisingly good meal. It was more thumbs up and than down. So yeah. I would recommend outback. I would go back. Therewere a few things I wanted to try. Read more
We were seated as soon as we walked in after leaving another restaurant that had over an hour wait. We placed our drink orders... and a blooming onion - boozy blueberry lemonade and cherry limeade. The waitress dropped my water on the way to the table and Ididn't get another until the end of my meal... It took a long time to receive our cocktails (the boozy cherry limeade was good).The bread and appetizer arrived first. I requested my own bread and honey butter but it was the last item I received. My AliceSprings chicken came with very burnt mushrooms... after waiting until closing to get my meal, I had to send it back. The cookshould have never sent that out. The loaded potato wasn't loaded. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't receive bread and honeybutter until I was almost finished with my meal. I was having a horrible day and just wanted a good meal. Restaurants are havinga difficult time obtaining quality staff... service tonight has convinced me to just cook and eat at home for awhile. Read more
First when we get there we are told that there is a 30 minute wait, in a restaurant that had several empty tables. Luckily we... didn't have to wait, and that is about the last good thing I have to say. They didn't have clean silverware, we waited at leastanother 45 minutes for silverware and bread. Finally we ordered our food and that is where the fun begins. I ordered the stripand wings, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the wings looked like they came off of "Tweety bird" .
