Great experience! First time in Outback in years and our server Donald and the manager were so generous and quick. We appreciated the satisfying dinner and we made the most of the 3 Course Aussie Meal deal!

A Clairemont Square staple for many years. This fair-to-middling steakhouse sits squat in the middle of the Square, like a slightly red-glowing beacon in the San Diego dusk. All jokey commentary aside—it’s not bad, not at all. The best? Not that either, but let’s get into the meat of this review already, no pun intended.
For the price, Outback Steakhouse is pretty solid. The filet mignon, baked potato, chicken sandwich, and cheeseburger are all pretty solid here! You gotta love the complimentary rye bread and butter, too. The flavor and cook on everything is consistent, and definitely a slight notch above average.
That said, this is a franchise chain and obviously they aren’t pumping out the top-tier level of steak that you might find at a place like Cowboy Star or Freddy’s Chophouse. But it’s good for the price, like I said.
The service is also consistently really good here. The wait staff and bartenders are all very friendly, welcoming, and show just the right amount of attention—helpful without being overbearing.
If you’re looking for a quick, good, decently priced meat-forward meal, Outback Steakhouse might be a good option for you.

We have been twice monthly patrons of the Clairemont (Town Square) Outback for almost 4 years, and we have always been treated well by all hostesses and servers. We often request our favorite server, Hannah, because she remembers our order, anticipates our needs while dining, and is just delightful to be around. It’s unusual to dine at a restaurant where employees like Hannah make it a pleasurable dining experience and worthwhile to return. I can’t say enough positive things about Hannah and the rest of the Town Square Outback team, and I will continue to bring my family and friends to this Outback because of the amazing dining experiences we continue to have here.

Made another visit to Outback Steakhouse, but this time with family. My sister treated us and insisted we tried their new bone-in ribeye.
Our server, Gauge, was very polite, attentive, and informative. His energy and personality was top tier! He suggested I go with the Delmonico Ribeye over the bone-in ribeye. I am glad he made the recommendation because the steak was outstanding! The steak came out perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was very impressed that their steak is comparable to high end restaurant steak quality! Keep up this quality and I will be coming back often!

I have not been to an Outback Steakhouse in about 20 years! It was definitely nice to give it a try again. The service was outstanding! I forgot our servers name but she is a rockstar! The food quality and flavors were great! They have several 3-course deals I recommend you take advantage of. I got the 9 oz center cut sirloin. Don’t forget to try their potato soup!

Busy night! Plenty of friendly staff on hand…not all friendly customers though ! Lover the manager at this location (I believe it’s Laura), so very sweet, polite, and composed!
Our salads were great, all fresh from lettuce to topings, loved the hot fresh bread with slightly softened butter, quick drink refills, and pretty quick food service, especially considering the crowd!
Went with the 3 course meal deal (salad or soup, entree with side, and a cheesecake), always a super pick and filling! The 6 oz steak was on the $24, can’t beat it .

We went here for a night out. Ian was our server and he was amazing! Very attentive and fun without being obnoxious. When we left, we met the manager Leah who was just as kind. She wanted to make sure that we had a great experience and offered to take a picture of us as I was doing a selfie. The meal was great but the service was even better! Also, the restaurant looks great as they have been making improvements and remodeling!

Ian was excellent, full of energy, genuinely friendly, and fun to talk to! The food here is always consistently delicious. I worked at Outback many years ago and was surprised then to learn that nearly everything is prepared or made in house (we’re talking every sauce, dressing, the croutons, hand-shredded cheese, etc.). It keeps me coming back and doesn’t disappoint.

Ambiance was cool, waitress was cool, service was good. Even most of the food was good, we had salads, wines, cocktails. Then why the one star?
my Delmonico ribeye was rotten. Like not over cooked or undercooked…not grissly. Rotten! I started slowly eating a few bites of it and was really not enjoying how it tasted basically like an ashtray (I have 3 Weber grills and am a charcoal aficionado), but this grill must not’ve been cleaned in days…I couldn’t even taste the meat ..and there was this weird aroma in the air.
Finally my wife says to me, something smells like poop around here. I said, “yeah I smell it too, but thought it was the kids over there.” We leaned in closer and it was my steak! So my wife says, “you shouldn’t eat more of that.” So I asked the waitress to take it back and cook it a different way ( a new piece of meat). Well she wrote “sear it”, but meant to use the flat top …well the kitchen just “seared” the new piece of meat on the same grill and sent it out to me colder than rare. So the new piece of meat was blue in the middle and still had the burnt taste. At least this one didn’t smell like poop, but still disappointing in the flavor department as far as being able to actually taste the meat. I showed the server that the meat was blue and so they put it on the flat top to bring it to medium. I tried my wife’s regular ribeye and it was much better despite being cooked to well done when she asked for medium like I did. I have a stomach ache now though, so don’t think I’ll dine at outback for a very long time. To me rotten food cancels out anything else you can do right in the food service industry. This stuff should never leave the kitchen and you rely on everybody to spot it, but especially the cooks!!

I had Kim as my server and she was absolutely amazing! She brought refills of the drinks before I even finished my other drink. She was on top of everything, and gave great recommendations. The best server I’ve had in years!!!

Outback Steakhouse in Clairemont delivers a satisfying dining experience with its flavorful dishes, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere. I had the ribs which were tender and well-seasoned. The restaurant’s ambiance strikes a balance between casual and lively, featuring a bar area with few TVs—perfect for catching a game while enjoying a meal. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty dinner or a relaxed spot to unwind, Outback in Clairemont offers a welcoming environment that makes for an enjoyable visit.
