Reviews for Outback Steakhouse in South Elgin, IL
Been a while since we have been to outback. The food was really good. Service was pretty good. I think our server had more area... than he could handle though. He was nice and got our order just as we asked. My wife and father in law both have very specificdiets. Anywhere we go, they order food without many things or things on the side to work with what they can eat. This requiresthe server to write down a lot of notes to get it right. One thing we all enjoy at Outback is whatever they put in the saladdressings to make them have a bit of heat. Of course the rest of the food is great, but we drive 40 minutes for that saladdressing... and potato soup. Read more
The food was good. The service was okay. I just wish the server had paid more attention to our tables needs, like the table... behind us. We were going to get dessert, but we're never asked about it. In the past though everything has been spot on.Definitely worth the half hour drive. The food was cooked to perfection. I would give the food and atmosphere 5 stars. The costis fair too. Read more
This is a Great Place to have a meal... when you want to get away from it all and feel like your on Vacation in Australia... visiting Crocodile Dundee... You even see the knife he used sticking out of the Freshly Baked Pumpernickel Break... SO GOOD...And then came the Coconut Shrimp... ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC... Followed by the Main Meal... Outback Ribs with Mashed Potatoes andFresh Vegetables... And all of it topped off by an Outback Dark Beer... I was too full for desert... I will get that... the nexttime... Oh... and I once again... had several Lovely Waitress's helping me... THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP... I had never been therebefore. Read more
This has always been one of my favorite places to eat. Yesterday, not so much! My favorite item there is the ?premium? blue... cheese pecan chopped salad. This time, it almost seemed drowned in dressing. Maybe it wasn?t made fresh? Read more
My wife and I love a good steak and usually have a great experience, but the food today was just average. The side salad and the... clam chowder were both good but not great. The "steamed" veggies that arrived with my steak were soggy and arrived sitting in abath of liquid on the plate. It made the seared bottom portion of my steak too moist. Our server was very polite and wasattentive to our need for drink refills. The restaurant appeared clean but the laminate wood looked floor were very slippery andand in some places sticky on the bottom of my shoes. I almost witnessed the gentleman sitting in the booth across from us slideon the slippery floor and fall onto the floor while attempting to get out of his booth. I acted quickly and got up just in timeto help him regain his balance. Accidental fall avoided. Read more
So my only 2 complaints are the bloomin onion was the size of a shallot lol. Also they made up for it with the size of my baked... potato. However, they should have put more toppings on the potato. Once the tiny drop of sour cream was gone and the 2 kernalsof bacon and the 3 shreds of cheese, I still had a perfectly good baked potato left but was sooo plain. Our waiter was great. Read more
Have visited several times, each time, no complaints. Service is always great, drinks are good and so is the food. I forgot how... nice their menu is compared to other places. Read more
Ordered takeout, said it would be ready by 8:30, sat in the parking lot til 8:50. Got home and the Togo person forgot one of our... sides. Went back to get it, no apology. Food was cold, loaded mashed potatoes were missing bacon. Alice Springs chicken wasdried out and hard. The place wasn?t busy, even went inside and saw only one other order on the screen. Oh and they forgot mydipping sauce. As someone in this industry Incan forgive something like this if togo was ten screens back and a full diningroom. This was ridiculous Read more
