Our server was new but she kept a smile on her face the entire time even after she had to take my prime rib back.
I am the biggest fan of the Outback seasoned prime rib, which I ordered, but she didn’t realize they no longer make the Outback seared prime rib.
Another server came over to explain that they no longer had the Outback seasoned prime rib (it would have been nice if she used her indoor voice; she was super loud) ️
She said that the chef would make it for me on this occasion. They forgot to bring out the warm, delicious brown bread, and the Au Jus sauce that comes with the prime rib was super salty; I couldn’t use it. After that debacle, everything was pretty tasty as usual.
My husband and I enjoyed a nice Sunday night dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Indiana while there for business that weekend.
They provide you with enough food for two servings. My husband and I both had enough food for lunch the next day.
Overall, they did a great job making me a happy customer!
I got shrimp on the barbie and carrot cake. Food was decent but not great, which is honestly about what I expected. I do think it would have been significantly better if I’d either eaten in the restaurant or gotten it fresher. By the time I was home and got unpacked, it was about 30 minutes after that almost ready text, and even though I put the food in an insulated bag when I got it, it was only lukewarm when I got home. So, I microwaved it for a minute to get it hot again, but between the shrimp steaming in that container for all that time and the microwave, it was no longer crisp from the grill. Everything (the shrimp, the rice, the broccoli) was also a little more oily/buttery than I like, but the lack of freshness was the main problem, and I think that kind of emphasized the oiliness. It was still an enjoyable meal in the end; the flavour of the shrimp and rice was nice, and the broccoli were okay despite also being over-steamed. The carrot cake was average, nothing wrong with it but nothing really going for it. It was easily big enough to share.
A small loaf of the honey wheat bread was included, but I didn’t eat it with the rest of my meal because I was pretty full from just the entree and half the cake. I heated it up a little (in the oven) the next day and it was very good. It’s a unique flavour and a great texture.
I wouldn’t do takeout again. It just wasn’t worth it to pay the premium price for what tasted like leftovers. But I might try dining in.
We started with Wallaby Darned drinks and specifically asked for the koala straws. The server said no problem and even mentioned there would be an upcharge, which we agreed to. Drinks arrived… no koala straws. At that point we let it go—mistakes happen.
We ordered appetizers, which were actually the highlight of the night. The potato soup was genuinely good, and credit where it’s due—that was the only thing done right. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
While we were eating our appetizers, our server disappeared. No check-ins, no asking if we were ready to order, nothing—until we were nearly finished. Eventually we got our entrée order in. One person ordered ahi tuna (not great), another ordered a chicken dish (mediocre but tolerable), and I ordered the three-course meal that included the Bloomin’ Onion Burger.
What arrived was honestly shocking.
The Bloomin’ Onion “petals” on the burger were cold. The cheese—three slices stacked on top—was completely unmelted and cold as well. The burger itself was lukewarm at best, while the vegetables underneath were cold, making it clear this plate had been sitting for a while. It tasted like my burger had been made first and then left to wait while everything else was prepared.
I took two bites, pulled the cheese straight off the burger to show the server it wasn’t even remotely melted, and told him it was probably the worst burger I’ve ever had. He offered to “see what he could do” and came back with a $10 gift card—which I gave away, because I have zero intention of returning.
Since the meal was supposed to include dessert, I still asked for the cheesecake.
That turned out to be the final insult.
The cheesecake was frozen solid. Not “chilled.” Not “firm.” Frozen. I could barely get a fork into it. If the burger being cold wasn’t bad enough, serving frozen cheesecake to finish the meal was almost impressive in how careless it felt.
No real apology. No real effort to fix the experience. Just a bad meal, poor service, and a bill that didn’t match the quality at all.
Outback Steakhouse used to be reliable. This location clearly is not. One star—and that’s only because the potato soup was edible.
