What diners say — our read

Something changed. Recent visits score noticeably higher than earlier ones. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.1 stars. Wait times is the next most common subject, in 41% of reviews (averaging 3.9).

No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all. The split is 13 positive to 4 negative across 17 rated reviews. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (9 of 17).

The kitchen graded a B (82/100) on 1 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 4 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. The visit behind that grade was February 3, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 23% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

He took such great care of us!One of the restaurant associates, also were very nice & gave myself & other dads a very nice Father's Day gift(s)...since it was Father's Day

    At the time that I went to this restaurant. Staff was friendly and attentive. The only thing was the bathroom needed attention, other than that everything was great thank you.

    Thomas the manager was quick to remake a grilled chicken that was over seasoned. Carol gave us attentive service and ensured we had what we needed.

    Got 3 sets of dirty silverware for three different members of our party. Food was good but server was slow and unattentive. 6/18/23 - Vineland Road store. Server was Sierra and she was awesome - very attentive and placed our order accurately. Food came out promptly and was cooked correctly. This was Father's Day and the store was full. Great job! 2025 Father's Day - great food and our server was right on top of everything. June 2026 - Server was great. Sweet potato on one of the entrees was burned.

    Last night me and my family went to this outback while we were in vacation. We were going to go to a different steakhouse but this one was on the way so we decided to stop at outback. The place was freezing from the moment we got in there I need ridiculously cold. We ordered cheese fries which were really good and fresh, my mom ordered a ribeye but it was really salty but that one was actually cooked well. I ordered the bone in ribeye and I asked for it to be rare and cooked on the flat top, it took about 30 minutes for our food to finally come out and we're sitting there freezing, when our food did come out my steak I cut into was almost well done so I told the waitress I asked for rare and it was so done it was gray in the middle so she took it back and the manager came out and just to make sure it was cooked correctly the second time again I told her that I would like it rare and cooked on the flat top. The second time it came out they brought me out the second stake even the piece I had cut off originally to show her I asked her what is this and she said it's your steak I'm like yes this is still the same steak I had before and it's cooked even longer and she's like yes that's what you wanted I then go no I wanted a rare steak and for it to be cooked on the flat top both the manager and the waitress then go ooooh okay so it is being sent back for the second time. The next time it comes out there are char marks all over it and at this point I am just absolutely fed up…

    If you enjoy the penguin enclosure at SeaWorld THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! sub artic temperatures sent everyone in the dining room to theor vehicles for jackets and blankets (not joking this actually happened). Guest were changing their drink orders to coffee and food orders too soup to counter the artic temperatures which mimics the quick freeze from the movie " The day after tomorrow". Multiple tables asked about turning the snow blower 5000 ac unit down at the beginning of our hour and a half long adventure. 3 tables that sat and ordered after us received their meals well before our tables. Once the food finally arrived over and hour in north pole temperatures battling frost bite, the food came. 3 of the 3 steaks were cooked wrong. If you've every walked into a beer cave at a gas station.... Then you understand how ridiculous cold this was. I hate leaving negative reviews, I wish we would have been able to leave an amazing review! But I can't gaslight my Google review reader homies.

    The bartender was talking to me while I was trying to pay after having a few drinks. So I completely forgot to pay with my gift cards instead of my debit card. I asked her to please refund me so I could pay with my gift cards and then tip her in cash instead. She said no because they can’t process refunds. Super upset about that. I gave her a good tip. $25. Service was good until that point. Good was great. But because she told me that she wouldn’t refund me and let me use my gift cards and tip her in cash, we will go to another location in the future. Won’t come back.
