In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.

Key Points

  • Award-winning steaks.
  • Discover our New Menu
  • 15 meals under $15

The Inside Scoop

  1. What to Drink - If you're not a fan of Foster's, try another Australian beer: Newcastle Brown Ale.

Ratings_icons Best steaks in Sacramento

WhizKid1

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

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

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.

Ratings_icons Abit Above Average

petfirefly

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

Ratings_icons Can I get a refund on crap?

ccandaaron

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?

Pros: none

Cons: everything about the, place

Ratings_icons This place sucks

happyhugz

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

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

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

Ratings_icons Like a Salt Lick

jeanneb2000

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

jack340

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.

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

Ratings_icons If you like your steak tough!

longleggsz

I have eaten at Outback probably 10 times within the last 2 years and I have to totally disagree with this restaurant being ranked at #2. Every single time that I have ordered a steak, I have ordered it medium rare. Does this establishment know what medium rare is? My answer to that is NOT! Each time they have returned to my table with my steak, it has been over cooked and very dry. Not one time can I recall them ever making my steak to order.

The people in Sacramento must not know what a "good" steak is. Because if Cattlemen's ranks beneath the outback, then we are a city with major problems when it comes to food!!

Pros: locations

Cons: crowded, long wait, tough steaks

Outback has excellent service as well as a variety of food categories. The steaks are outrageously
melt in your mouth. Just enough seasoning to spark taste buds.

Outback has one of the best sirloin steaks I've ever had, but you gotta get it medium-rare to get all the flavor!

Pros: Simple, Steaks are tender

Cons: Crowded, Not very much seating
