Outback Sacramento Howe Ave

We have been fans of the Outback for years, but just the other day we went to the Texas Roadhouse in Elk Grove and found out what a real steak tastes like for the same money.. 20 ounce Rib eye, bone-in and an inch plus thick....yummy! beyond wonderful.....As for the OUTBACK....lately I have never gotten a rib eye cooked the way I ordered it at 2 Outbacks we frequented lately. Always over cooked...and they keep getting thinner and thinner...and lighter and lighter...use to offer a 14 ounce rib eye, now it is 13 ounces if I can believe that to look at the steak..and about a half inch thick..shame shame...and priced at over 20 bucks to boot..remember to tell the waiter to pace your meal...or you will be getting the appetizer with your steak, or your steak before the appetizer. The waiters are on a timed service so they can turn their tables fast and get another family in your place quickly..(more then one waiter has spilled the beans on that one).They seem nervous if you lolly after eating...not a relaxed meal...and the check comes before you are done eating with a smile...funny you have to ask for refills and more bread if you can intercept your waiter as they run by...and I found it funny that a friend who is from Australia says they have no Outbacks down under...food for thought...Drive a bit to the Roadhouse in Elk Grove and be happy happy!!! My husband still raves about the soup and the drinks though..I guess something has to be good there... more

I loved it! From the fun inviting atmosphere, to severs who are very atentative! The food was well prepared, with a very filling portion at a really reasonable price! The foods where very flavorful, from the croutons in the salads, to the slice of cheese cake with raspberry sauce (which seemed more like the whole cake rather than a ""slice""). The drinks made from the bar where superb! Wallaby darned? more like heaven! It is like getting Ruth?s Chris food for Chili's price! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! Pros: Great food for a great price Cons: Parking lot needs improving more

Very disappointing. We waited 15 minutes to get waited on. We had to ask someone to find our waitress. Apparently we didn't have one, because many people waited on us all night. We got our meal before the appetizer, and our steak had to be sent back because it wasn't even cooked on this inside (we ordered a medium). Then, when I asked to speak with a manager, this joke came out and told us that ""it happens to one or two tables a night, you just happened to be one of them."" What a lame excuse! I wanted to talk to the manager's manager! I do not recommend this place to ANYONE, unless you are willing to drink away the stress because the bartender did alright. Pros: Good drinks Cons: Dumb manager more

I love their kookabura wings and their onion bloom as an appetizer. Their usual garden salads are amazing, with their croutons (i am in love with their croutons..its nicely seasoned). I'm a bread & butter freak, so the rye bread is nice and warm with fresh butter. I love a good ribe eye and sometimes it comes out more overcooked..when I asked for medium-rare, but eh. Good baked potato with the typical fixins. I am usually wayy to full to have dessert, but I always end up oogling at them anyways. I also have tried their salmon and alice's stuffed chicken, which are also tasty. more

For one thing, Koalas ARE NOT BEARS, they are marsupials!! The food is better than average, the portions are more than adequate, the prices are abit steep, the attitudes of the wait staff needs improving, the waiting area needs to be expanded. Pros: Food above average, Portions ample+, Good Lager Cons: Abit pricey; Crowded, Inadequate parking, Staff Attitudes more

This place sucked. It was a long wait, bad service, poor food and way too noisy. I tried it twice just to give it another chance and this place screwed up everytime. The cooks need to go back to McDonalds and try some cooking that is at their level. Not as good as Cattlemens!! Never will be. Cattlemens Rocks!!! P.S. Aussies never heard of the Outback Steakhouse and there are none in Australia. hmmmmm? Cons: everything about the, place more

I heard good things about the resturaunt and tried it myself. It was the worse experience. The wait was long, they messed up the orders twice, and when the orders came out, the steak was over cooked. I asked for medium rare and got crispy well done. The food also took forever to come out and it came out all in different times and by the time I got the food, I lost my appetite. I would higly NOT recommend this place to any one more

This just shows there are no good places to eat in Sacramento if Outback makes anyones list. more

Overcrowded, noisy and expensive. I do not need a piece of meat that badly. I do not know why people go to Outback! Pros: interesting Cons: noisy, crowded, expensive more

The Outback Steakhouse delivers the most succulent steaks I have ever tasted. However, if you really want it medium-well, order the well-done. more

I think Outback Steakhouse is the very Best place to eat in the whole USA. Pros: just over all good Cons: Crowded, not enough parking more

If you like salt, this is the place for you. The fries which came with the ribs were so salty, we had to return them and request a baked potato instead. The steak also was loaded with salt and tough. The waiter was so intrusive, my husband asked me if he was an old boyfriend. I also asked my husband if HE knew him. Haven't been back and no intentions of ever going there again! Pros: good parking Cons: crowded, loud, over rated more

The food over all was not very good. And the steak was a tough. Just didnt enjoy the meal at all more

I would go elsewhere for my steak. It was OK but certainly not the best. more

Best Steaks I have ever tasted. The marinate is superb the texture divine. Even tried the take-out and the meat was exactly as ordered! 10's all around! more

nothing special...quality of meat has gone downhill. lots of food for the money is the payback Pros: quantity Cons: quality more

The price is right, I love eating at outback the prime rib is my number one meal, I like it rare but also had it well done and it melts in your mouth every time. Cons: more parking more

Outback came into my town with much fan fare. I like that kind of confidence so. one night my wife and I tried Outback out. I don't know what all the hype is about. Service was fine, not outstanding.........just fine. And I would decribe the food the same way. Just ok. Not bad..............but not as outstanding as all the ""you gotta try this place"" advertisment. I have asked my friends and they say the same thing. more

Consistant value and good food. Filet is always good and the coconut shrimp are wonderful! more

My family goes there to eat meals together, you can't miss! Seafood, steak, ribs, salads and good service. It's never a risk! Pros: good service, good food, great take out more
