My friends and I were coming back from the Blue Mountains and we decided to stop by Outback Steakhouse because why the hell not? What's more ironic than a group of Americans going to an American restaurant posing as an Australian restaurant, except that it's IN Australia??? We rocked up on a Saturday night around 7pm and we were surprised to find a huge queue waiting. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait and we didn't care one bit because lo and behold, they were showing ESPN and MLB at the bar. It felt like America. We ordered beers and some diet cokes (haha) and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that soft drinks had free refills. FREE REFILLS?!?! IN AUSTRALIA?!?!? It felt like...
My oh my what a taste of home... I use Togo here all the time back in Toronto before they closed them down.. There was no way I was going to cone here and not order the blooming onion!! Its a must for anyone who comes here.. As always its a big ball of yummy goodness.. I was a bit disappointed it seemed to be a bit over cooked but the flavours were still the same..Next I decided on the Alice Spring chicken which is something I do not remember being an option back home.. It was grilled chicken breast topped with honey mustard, sauteed mushrooms, crispy strips of bacon and melted cheese... Do I need to say more?? It was like heaven in my mouth.. So good.. And it was served with chips.. Always...
The food and interior ambiance are decent. However the service could seriously be improved. We were a group of 20 people and as it seems to be the case in most restaurants in Sydney, they did not want to divide the bill. You can easily imagine that it was pretty hefty for my friend who decided to pay. They don't keep track of who ordered what, so obviously we kept being interrupted every time a new dish would come. Not to mention those who forgot the name of what they order or who thought they ordered something different. The waiters are not properly trained to serve wine. Note to North American clients: there is no tipping policy in Australia.
BEST Outback Steakhouse experience... I highly recommend! First off, our server (didn't get her name, but she is an engineer from Brazil) was worth mentioning for her great service. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience and she was so kind! There was a small problem with my boyfriend's entree and the manager on duty was quick and generous with accommodating the issue. We were highly impressed! Five stars all around.

We have a large group of 17 here tonight our waitress was very patient and helpful tonight. She did an amazing group catering to 17 people. Our food came out very quickly and the food was cooked perfectly. I always have my steaks blue.. YES BLUE.. and it was cook perfectly! It was also very busy here tonight and they manage to still keep up the good service. A big thank you to our waitress Zee, you are amazing!!!
Our server was Eric and he was wonderful. It is St Patrick's Day and we just asked if he had any green cocktails, he has two off the menu, one was a caramel apple and one a creme' de mint (I think) if you happen to go be sure to ask him,they are fabulous. We also had Liz check in on us and she was perfect, definitely a five star.
Service is excellent here! Friendly and easy to get the attention of . The food for me was good,had the chicken and ribs combo but my partners steak wasn't cooked right! Wasnt medium rare and this is a steak house? A little expensive here but it's prices you expect to pay! My partner would of given this a lower score
Food was alright and service was friendly and attentive. The ribs we ordered were all bones and no meat, they were just covered in barbecue sauce which was disappointing. The wait for food was quite long.

Not even worth awarding any stars but the app won 't let me post without a star. The meal was terrible and the service nonexistent. I could not recommend anyone eat at this establishment.
My favorite steak house, especially for the pork ribs and sirloin steak. Never going wrong and highly recommend it to you for a good time or weekend
