went over with friends to this Outback in Norwalk, one of my favs steakhouses, had the Bloomin’ Onion which is fried onion rings as shareable, we all ordered different dishes try the fried chicken with baked potato, or steak with a mac n cheese side, everything tastes good there even the bread and butter they serve, atmosphere is casual can get a bit noisy on busy hours, server was friendly, the dining room is spacious and clean, parking was easy and the location right off Norwalk Blvd makes it convenient to get to. Overall, a reliable choice for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

I personally want to thank Apollo and Crystal, Crystal was our server and she was amazing! She made sure we were ok and taken care of, I had $34 but in coins So I had asked her if that was ok and she told me that it was ok but she wanted to ask her manager first just in case. Then boom! He appeared haha, but he was very nice and kind. Apollo said that they do accept that and that he would even count it for crystal which I thought was very nice of him. I honestly had an amazing time here, the food was top tier I had the lobster tails, my fiancé had the king island pasta and our friend had the ribs. My lobsters were delicious, the mashed potatoes were on point and the broccoli and cheese was just so good 100/10 The pasta was amazing and our friend said the ribs were delicious and tender The gingerbread fizz was really good too! I got two of those Would definitely come again and again

We had been here before and the food is great. Service was strange. Although nobody was rude, they were NOT friendly, NOR welcoming. Service seemed rushed and inpatient. I don’t know what the brown dressing on the wedge salad was, but I liked the way it was served in the past better. There was no music in the dinning area that I could hear. It was rather quiet and we liked that.

Had a great early dinner here with my pookie. Our server Ben was very attentive and helped us out a lot. When I was unsure about what I wanted, Ben offered many suggestions. Overall the service from Ben was above and beyond. Definitely coming back.

Went to have dinner here yesterday. I ordered the “Victoria” Filet 6oz medium rare. Got the “filet” and had a tough time cutting it. There was barely any pink and the “filet” tasted like unseasoned stew meat.
After that one bite I complained and asked the server to please bring me the same cut only this time rare. I finished the salad and microwaved ” baked” potato when the server brings another slab of meat and “baked” potato.
I proceeded to cut into the meat expecting it to be almost raw (yes, that’s how I like filet). Again the piece of meat was tough, bland, lacked tenderness although it was a bit pinker than the first. It tasted like unseasoned stew meat. All I had was one bite and asked for the check.
In total I had one bite of each “steak”. The meat was NOT filet mignon nor tenderloin of any sort. This is unfortunate as that is the cut I have every time I go to an Outback Steakhouse. Granted I usually go to an Outback in a different location.
Who buys the cuts at this location? Do you think we cannot tell the difference between filet and something else? Even when overcooking filet, the taste is distinguishably tenderloin.
Ever hear of meat thermometers? If you can’t provide the cuts you claim to have, remove them from the menu. Better yet close down this location because clearly the clientele in this area have been fooled.

EDIT: I’m updating my review for Outback Steakhouse, Norwalk due to the excellent & timely follow-up I received from the General Manager. (5 stars for addressing the issue)
After my initial negative review & the generic response from the “Outback Steakhouse (Owner)”, I was contacted by the General Manager. The GM asked me to describe my experience & asked if I spoke to the manager on-site during my dining experience to which my answer was, “No”.
The GM suggested I should have spoken to a manager on-site in order to troubleshoot my issue more directly. The GM apologized & made things right imo.
BOTTOM LINE:
When in a city of unfamiliar dining choices, I’ve counted on Outback Steakhouse to provide a quality & satisfying dining experience. This has been particularly true when entertaining clients & why I was so taken aback by my latest experience at this location.
I will continue to dine at Outback Steakhouse & surmise that this was all just due to it being the evening of a lunar eclipse during Mercury retrograde.

We had the most pleasant and really attentive server. She’s just amazing at her job and being pleasant she made us feel like we already know her . Just a great vibe and getting everything right. Thank you to our server Kristy!! I wish there were more out in the service industry like her.
The food was also super delicious l, the chef was on point.

The restaurant is clean and I was seated fast. I ordered the Toowoomba Salmon and when it was brought to the table with the rest of the food the bus table was left right next to me, it was 12 inches from my mouth as I was trying to eat. I could smell this dirty table as I ate. Half way through my meal the waitress starts cleaning the table that was across from me and over one throwing the dishes on that dirty table that was 12 inches from my mouth as I’m trying to eat. I do not recommend this place.

Diane was very helpful. I ordered a steak for my mom. Well done. It came back medium-rare, but she fixed it right away with no problem. Great customer service!

Gonna give the food good ratings, it’s actually hard to get a good steak. And I have to say, they did a good job. Prices are about average for a steak place: plenty of food options, and variations to keep the same place fresh. Staff was very friendly, and our food was out quick compared to other restaurants. My only complain would probably be their alcoholic drinks, good portions of alcohol, but the flavor of their cocktails was just ok. Plenty of parking and very clean bathrooms. This place is great for families or date nights.
