Outback Steakhouse - Melbourne

We had a great meal and it was paced the way we wanted it. Not rushed

About five minutes later, the hostess noticed the error and quietly informed the waiter. He then went out of his way to retrieve the food from the dirty table and brought it to us as if nothing had happened. Although the food had been sitting for a while, it was still warm, so we decided to eat it. I tried to speak with the manager about the situation, but she was preoccupied with serving food and chatting with someone at the bar. I ended up sending an email regarding my concerns, but I never received a response. Based on this experience, I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

We celebrated our birthday at this restaurant, just the two of us. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our bread and butter were served promptly. We ordered steak dinners, which arrived at just the right time and were absolutely delicious! We decided to take some cake home but were pleasantly surprised with small brownie sundaes served at our table—such a treat! It was a fantastic birthday celebration. Our waitress was outstanding, and even the manager stopped by to say hello, as her birthday was close to ours. My only minor issue was with the Bleu cheese chop salad; it wasn’t as high-quality as I expected, with very few pecans and a bit soggy. However, the rest of the food more than made up for it. I had the 13 oz ribeye, and my wife ordered the filet mignon. We can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend that you eat here now!

Our meal and service was excellent on this occasion. The daily lunch specials are a great deal. We also tried the fried mushrooms for the first time and they were awesome. I wish we could remember our server's name because he was fantastic.

We visit every year to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and I want to extend a huge thank you to all the staff for making this occasion so special! They were incredibly patient with our group of over 20 people. I want to give a special shout-out to Alex and Alice, who were both amazing! I spoke with Alex on the phone before our dinner, and she was so kind and helpful. She assured me that if I needed to make any changes, I could just call, and she would ensure everything was just as we wanted it. This was truly a birthday to remember, especially given the circumstances. Thank you, Outback! We look forward to seeing you next year!
