Outback Steakhouse — Restaurant in Chattanooga

I haven't been here in forever until this week. The last time we ended up giving it the nick name The 'Outhouse' Steakhouse. Here follows the book of a review explaining why. Oh yeah, going back was OK. Another burnt blooming onion, lobster bites that was just shrimp, and standard fair steak. On to the book!

What a night. Weekend, crowded. Waiting on the patio with drinks. Table next to us starts vomiting. Food or drinks we don't know but you better pick your feet up and pray you don't have on open toe shoes! Moved indoors to the booth. Bar fight breaks out. No biggie. Don't get us wet or hit and we're cool. Better than a tsunami of vomit coming your way! We laughed too soon. Table over from the booth starts to vomit. Had to be the food this time as they weren't drinking. At least the blooming onion was burnt so we were eating much. Didn't have to pick up our feet either as we were seated higher! The vomit gods took pity on us this time. Guess they didn't kick out all the proper patrons. Another fight. Well, you can't really call either a fight. A couple of sissy punches and some pushing but either way it's a good way to get a whole restaurant staring at you. So if you're feeling neglected or need strangers attention you know what to do!

You would think this night of drama has to end with some steak! Sure it does. After an elderly lady falls out of her chair and looks to be dying. A quick check and she's not choking as she's breathing but unconscious. An ambulance is called. She comes too a little before being taken out on a stretcher to the relief of those nearby. The rest are wondering what the heck is going on now. Not sure if it was the food or another condition.

For what seemed like forever the food finally arrives. Wrong order. More time smelling mop water & chemicals and vomit and poo and paramedic after shave. The food is here again! All the steaks are well done but ordered medium rare. The whole party isn't about to wait and choke down what we can or want. We literally hit the door running and laughing at the nights turn of events and to come out basically unscathed! To commemorate our once in a lifetime evening eating out, and the fact we stayed through it all, we nick named it "Outhouse" steakhouse. Not entirely fair, I agree, as it wasn't all their...

My husband (birthday boy) had to request a diet Coke refill five times on his second glass before he received it . It was the same with extra dips requested or other drinks. However, the waitress was pleasant and apologetic for the delays and absent items such as the mushrooms ordered with one of the steaks. The waitress was exceedingly knowledgeable and informative about the menu and drinks (alcohol). We were a bit haphazard expressing needs in a consistent manner too with ongoing conversations and interruptions. This was our first time to Outback. I am a Jeeper, and my youngest daughter (25yo & high functioning autistic) were both excited for your Koala drink for the Koala-duck for our Jeep. That's what made us all choose Outback for his birthday celebration dinner as well as your 22 oz Porterhouse & other steaks. We ordered three of those Koala drinks, one virgin alcohol free, but THREE KOALA duckies !!! Yaaaay !! Most of our desserts were taken to go, but what we tried was delicious ! The bread pre- meal was delicious and we ordered three appetizers for a table of six with the 7th being a 14 mo old baby. The appetizers were delicious, but we all mostly had to take half our suppers to go because we all got so full before our entrees were finished. There was a bit too much salt on the bloomin' onion for my husband who is a cardiac patient. Other than more timely refills for our waters and other drinks, and requested items, our service was impeccable. She was clearly busy however and other than my husband's diet Coke, we understand the delays. I believe her name was Veronica. Sweet lady. As I said, we know she was busy. I don't know how to change this review from my ex-husband 's Google account name, so unfortunately the review is going to be sent as such instead of under my own name. I did use the call ahead seating opportunity offered when I called to see if reservations would be required. A very pleasant hostess took my call and had the table and our requested high chair ready for us for our time of 7:15 p when we arrived at 7:08 pm. (I called at almost 6:30 pm). We were seated at a large round table near the door . Thank you. It was a nice, pleasant evening. Y'all have a...

14 years ago after my husband and I got hitched we were starving and stopped by Outback. Today for our anniversary we decided to stop in. The restaurant was clean except for the floor. I felt like I needed my slip resistant shoes. I was sliding everywhere. The employees were so friendly and helpful especially our waitress (I wish I could remember her name.). The food, though, was lacking. We ordered a Bloomin Onion for an appetizer and it was good to begin with but half of the onion was soggy with grease. The bread and butter brought to the table was pretty good. For my meal I ordered Alice Springs Chicken with a sweet potato and broccoli. When my plate arrived my food was resting in a pool of water and butter. The chicken was cooked perfectly but the dipping sauce had a foamy white appearance and was watery. Because of the look I didn't want to try it. The broccoli was mushy and overly buttery. The sweet potato was ok but seemed like it was old and the flesh was gummy. My husband ordered the ribeye and coconut shrimp with a loaded baked potato and chopped pecan salad. The lettuce of the chopped pecan salad was soggy and limp. No crunch at all. The ribeye was cooked perfectly but for a steakhouse it seemed like a thin cut of meat. The coconut shrimp was ok, a little greasy. The dipping sauce was like something you could buy in the grocery store condiment aisle. The loaded baked potato had no butter or salt and only had a few toppings on the top so it was just a lot of plain potato. My husband saw a piece of carrot cake on the menu that looked good and asked the waitress her opinion on it. She said it was good so we ordered it. As soon as the waitress placed the cake on the table I had regrets. The crumb on the icing had an off look and was soaked into the icing. It looked like it had been frozen and was old. It only took one bite to confirm it wasn't good. The icing had the consistency and looks of a stick of butter. The cake left a yeasty flavor in my husband's mouth. Our waitress noticed we didn't eat but a couple bites and talked to the manager about taking the item off our bill since she said it was good and we didn't like it. I thought that was...
