My husband and I have been here many times. We have tried all their meals and never been disappointed. One thing I did try and was very pleasently surprised at, was the lamb! Excellent. We have never had their desserts, but I have heard they are wonderful. Who has the room?? The prices are good. They are busy, so there is usually a 20 minute wait. The wait staff is very friendly, very good, and we have never had a bad wait person.

Wow, is this place overrated. I had a basic sirloin. I ordered it medium well and it arrived very well done, to the point of being dry and chewy. Bleah. The baked potato was good, but let's face it, you don't have to be Jaques Pepin to bake a potato and put toppings on it. The service was fine. I think the reviewer who compared this place to Hungry Hunter or Black Angus hit it right on the head. Except for the cartoonish Australian theme, there is no perceptible difference between them.

One of the best franchise steakhouses around. I've heard that even if you don't eat beef, their other food is great too. We tried the prime rib and were surprised by the relatively larger portion they give (light to medium eaters should to consider the smallest cut for sure). We also appreciated that the meal included a very good Caesar's salad (other steakhouses tend to charge extra). Be prepared to wait a long while for your table however, and I don't think they take reservations.

Went on a Saturday night and had a very, very long wait for a table. Very casual dining. All of our party ordered beef entrees and were very pleased. The prime rib was excellent, same for the filet mignon. Also shared shrimp on the barbee which also was great. Service was OK.

Very good place to go and eat steak and have a beer. Not really a date place, but more like a place to hang out on friday night before going out. Love the food, the service and the atmosphere at a reasonable price.

This is good stuff. The meat is not top quality, but good. And there's a lot of food. I've never left the place hungry, that's for sure. Hostesses are gorgeous.

There must be some reason we come here all of the time and put up with the wait (usually 20 minutes). Sometimes if you wait by the bar you can snag a booth. The service is always good and the victorias filet is great! The caesar salad is super too, although everything is a little too salty but addictive. The fries are good about half of the time, get the baked potato. Also, if you're not up for a whole dessert, ask for the cinnamon apples in a little cup, mmmmm

I was surprised by Outback Steakhouse. The rack of lamb was some of the best I have tasted(after Fresh Creme in Monterey) and my filet was very good. When I go back, I will definitely have the lamb. For the price($50/two-no drinks), it was reasonable. The dinner included bread, salad and a baked potatoes or veggies. The potato was good, but the veggies were a bit overcooked.

This place is rather small, with not many tables, so the wait is too long. The parking is also a problem. The service was quite efficient, although not quite up to the highest level (for this kind of place). I enjoyed the quality of the meat, and for a connoisseur of good old steaks, it is nice to have some variety. You can taste the difference between the meat here and the other corporate steak chains, and although I wouldn't say one is better, I liked this as well as the others and it provided a different flavor. My kids were also happy here, and the chicken they had was of very good (adult-level) quality.

Personally, I don't see the attraction, though this place seems to continue to pack in the crowds. I've given it two tries, with an long wait for a table in both cases, and both times at least one member of the party had to return their mis-cooked steaks (which resulted in a long wait; by the time the steaks were returned, everyone else was done. As for the meat itself, it was OK, but nothing special; about the quality of (say) Black Angus, Charley Brown's, or Hungry Hunter -- in other words a corporate chain steakhouse, with service to match. I might give it a third try if I get dragged off with a group, but don't see any real reason to return otherwise.
