Outback Steakhouse — Restaurant in Spring Township

Absolutely fantastic! We started off with a blooming onion (no surprise to anyone) which came out fresh and hot. To drink my wife had their blueberry-lavender lemonade and I just had a Coors Light. My wife had the Toowoomba Salmon which she said was outstanding. I had the 8 oz sirloin (cooked medium) with the roasted garlic butter and grilled shrimp with the seasoned rice and loaded mashed potatoes as sides. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and was also perfectly seasoned which carried lots of flavor. The rice was delicious but was a tad bit bland.

The mashed potatoes had chives, bacon, cheese and sour cream (standard for loaded mash) but it also bits of the skin in with it which, in my opinion, breaks up the texture while also added an earthy flavor note to them and makes it unique and delicious.

The main entree, the steak, was cooked to perfection. Very well seasoned and not over seasoned and was also nice and hot when served. The garlic butter was a bit of an overkill on my part because the steak really didn’t need it, however, it was a great flavor addition to the steak.

In conclusion, absolutely OUTSTANDING cooking by the line chef Joel. Hope to have his food again soon.

Of course, nothing gets done without a fantastic wait staff and Binta is a shining example of this. Super friendly, honest, and really well knowledgeable of what is on the menu and was able to answer questions promptly and if she didn’t know she told us so and soon came right back with the information in a very timely manner. Well done!

Last, but certainly not least, a productive restaurant is nothing without an effective leader and that clearly shows through with our experience tonight. Jadon does a fantastic job of helping when needed and was very polite when we discussed how amazing his staffs service was.

Rest assured that not only will my wife and I be coming back on a regular basis, whenever possible, but we will also be recommending it to friends and family and communicating to them that the Outback Steakhouse of old, with lack luster performance, is dead and gone and that the new Outback Steakhouse is far better than...

My girlfriend and I went to get the little kola that comes on certain drinks. We made it known to the waitress that was what we were there for, and she informed us we must purchase one of the specific drinks to receive it. This is fine and what we expected. I ordered one of the drinks (that I normally would not order, but figured I would try it and get the kola in the process) only to be informed after that they did not have any more kola buddies there. A shame, but not the worst part of our experience.

I ordered the French onion sirloin and my girlfriend got the filet mignon, both ordered medium rare. My girlfriend's steak was more rare than she generally likes, but still edible. Mine, however, was entirely raw in the center. I requested a manager, and we ensured the waitress it was not about her. The manager approached with hostility right out of the gate. I politely informed him my steak was raw in the middle, although he claimed it was cooked rare. I told him we would still pay for the meal, I just wanted him to be informed (I know if I was a manager, I'd like to know if food is coming out undercooked or, in this case, uncooked). He continued to insist it was rare and edible (even though the meat was still purple in the middle), then proceeded to blame me for not saying something sooner. He told me they cook it by putting it through an automated machine, and they could have sent it back through the machine to cook for longer. Although I was polite during the entire encounter and was not looking for a comped meal or free voucher, the manager was significantly more hostile than my girlfriend and I would expect from someone in the service industry.

I understand working in that field may be frustrating at times, but the way this manager spoke to me felt unreasonable, especially since he was attempting to invalidate my concerns. The blooming onion was great, but not worth the $80 bill.

Thinking about it now, I believe I was meant to get a side of French onion soup with my meal that I...

Alex, your Picky Eater here! The food is great, the cuts are on point, and my steak was the temperature!🌡 The kids menus have things to do to keep your toddler occupied. 👶 The person I was with said the salmon had good flavor! The only improvement I would recommend (from my own picky eater perspective!) Is the desserts...I think that if the desserts did not have nuts in them it would benifit everyone. I don't like nuts, so personally if there are nuts in the dessert I will be skipping the dessert. It interrupts the texture. Brownie with vanilla ice cream sounds great! If you served the nuts as a topping then customers can choose. Carrot cake sounds great to me until I see that there are nuts in it. I think it could be offered as a topping or on the side. If there were no nuts, the company would save money! If they made it somewhere that also does not make nut products, then you could offer it as allergy friendly alternative dessert! You may say "Alex, what about the cheese cake?" Well, I'm lactose intolerant and that would be way too much dairy for me! 😂 all in good fun Now, the accessibility ♿️ the side where the path starts to get to the entrance is lined with handicap parking making it more likely that you might actually get one on a crowded night compared to other restaurants. The employees in the front had opened the door for me before but hadn't this time. If you need the doors open I would suggest waving to the host on the inside. They do not have handicap buttons to...
