Outback Steakhouse — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

Joyce was my waiter and she gave me such a nice experience for my first time coming into outback steakhouse!

Food wise I had... 1: Sydney Shrooms (deep fried mushrooms) 2: Sirloin + pork ribs combo with a side of vegetables and mashed potatoes 3: Aussie JAWSie alcoholic drink 4: Butter cake (comes with strawberries and whipped cream)

The shrooms came with ranch dressing. Honestly, the ranch dressing made it bearable to eat the deep fried mushrooms. To me, if the shrooms werent deep fried and maybe done with a different type of breading I would have enjoyed it more. So for this I give it a 3 out of 5.

The sirloin + steak combo was absolutely delicious. I had my meat cooked medium and had just the right amount of soft and juicyness. The ribs were great too I just was expecting beef ribs rather than pork ribs given the price of the combo. The mixed veggies and the mashed potatoes were the sides I picked and they were great too. Overall a 4.5 out of 5 for a main course meal.

The Aussie JAWSie was a fun drink to have! Comes with a toy shark on the drink sticking out. But upon inspection you can see they added the grenadine in the shark for you to pour it in and add a "bloody" effect to the drink which was an awesome touch for a themed drink! 5 out of 5 for sure!

Lastly Butter Cake was a to-go item for me since I was already full from the sirloin + ribs combo. The next day I had it and the cake definitely was rich with the butter and the strawberries helped balance out the overall flavor. 5 out of 5.

TLDR: Food was great! Enjoyable experience!...

The outback in Parsippany has been a mainstay for us for a really long time. Ever since covid, we've been doing pickup from there. So for the past three years I have patiently picked my way through the crappiest meals there. I have given them so much leeway because I totally get it, there is no reward for doing well right now in restaurants. There's no margins. No one's getting paid well. So I get it. So 50% of the time when I order my prime rib medium rare and blue cheese chop salad, it's cooked to well done, I get an overly salty heel piece because they know that I won't bother to turn around. Take it back. And I always say to myself, that business is hard and I just need to give them grace. But today, here I am again with my gray, dry as sand and heel piece and my blue cheese chop salad that looks like nothing but clumps of iceberg that I spent almost $40 on, I think I've had enough. Enough. They're not the only ones hurting, we're all suffering from inflation and if you're going to take my $40, at least pretend you sort of care. I just hit my breaking point, I'm so frustrated that I'm actually crying because I am tired of feeling like it just doesn't matter to them. FYI I was so bummed I called and told them, the host lost the call and that was that. End of experience. We won't be...

Last night, July 4,2019 we had our dinner delivered. I have done so several times before and it seems like each time was not as satisfying as it used to be. I have NEVER written a review before but, I find it necessary to do so. Where do I begin? My daughter had a chicken sandwich which was fine. Delivery was quick. That’s the only two things that were good. I ordered a prime rib which was so over seasoned that I had to wipe it down and it still wasn’t edible. Also, I ordered it to be cooked rare and it was WELL done. My husband ordered a steak. It was so tasteless and tough that he couldn’t eat it. Let’s get to the two sides. The mashed potatoes tasted like they came right out of a box of instant potatoes. The “steamed” vegetables were so raw and hard. Another item thrown in the trash. Another words seventy three dollars later plus a seven dollar tip to the delivery person was a very expensive inedible meal. Except for the chicken sandwich. Why didn’t we call and complain? Because they would either volunteer to send us another meal which we didn’t want or maybe a free bloomin onion! Ha! No thanks. I would give this a zero rating but, I didn’t find that option. Either the cook was asleep behind the grill or this place has gone so downhill. Very disappointed and a big...
