Outback Steakhouse

Our family LOVES OUTBACK. We have been eating at Outback for 15+ years. The chain used to be in Ottawa but then it closed down. We could only then eat Outback when going to the states - it is always delicious. We were ecstatic to know there was one in Niagra so when travelling we stopped in. We were SOOO disappointed - it is nothing like the states. The steak and potato in the photo was $56 + Tax+Tip. Which is insane. The salad in the states has the most wonderful salad crutons large, crunchy and salty . The salad provided had the smallest dryest croutons. The salad also usually includes cucumber but none were found in the salad. Disappointment. The kids mac & cheese is usually cheesy of velveeta cheese. This had no cheese whatsoever it was watered pasta with a pinch of salt. Again disappointment. The bill was almost 400$ for 4 people - will not be going back to this location.

This Outback is located very close to hotels but parking was a hassle. Hotel parking lot they share was full so had to park offsite location approximately 5 minutes walk from the restaurant. It is really dark at night. I was seated right away and server was great. Tried fish special and it was delicious, wish they served fries in a different basket, juices from the fish made fries soggy and unpleasant. Coleslaw was good. I also ordered Outback special and was cooked perfectly and delicious. Price for 2 dish and a drink including a 30 CAD discount coupon was 95 CAD. I thought it was a little too much but I guess the charge is due to location and I should have checked before arriving.

I came here on a Thursday evening with my family for dinner. It was pretty quiet at that time so we were seated fairly quickly. There was a lot of pop music playing in the background which felt more of a club than a restaurant. I had high expectations with their food quality since it was quite pricey. We ordered the following: Bread with Butter The bread came for free and you can request for more when finished. It came in a tray that was holding butter. The bread itself was alright and it could of been more softer. The perfect bread would had been straight out from the oven so that the butter would melt when placed inside. Bloomin' Onion It seems like this aussietizers dish was ordered by many people so we gave this a try. Their special onion is hand-carved, cooked until golden and ready to dip into their spicy signature bloom sauce. The onions were super crispy and filled with deliciousness when paired with their signature bloom sauce. For every bite you take keeps you craving for more. I recommend giving this a try and would give this dish a . Caesar Side Salad The portion size was smaller than expected. I wish that they had more croutons in the salad. There was nothing special with this particular side dish so I would not recommend getting this as a standalone. Steakhouse Pasta This dish had a lightly seasoned portions of steak combined with sliced mushrooms, diced green onion and tomatoes gently tossed with fettuccine in a rich demi-glace sauce. Everything taste good except for their steak. It was chunky and had a chewy texture. You would have to chew more than usual before your next bite. There was no unpleasant taste in any way. However, I would say that it was not worth it for the price it was listed at for $39. Sirloin and Baby Back Ribs The description says "These fall-off-the-bone ribs are exactly the way ribs should be. Succulent and saucy, each rack is smoked, grilled to perfection and brushed in a tangy BBQ sauce. Served with Aussie fries and coleslaw." I have to % disagree that these were not fall off the bone ribs. All of their ribs were stuck to the bone. It was dry and juiceless and that was the same with their sirloin no seasoning. I was very disappointed with the quality of the food as it was super pricey at $50. I had a better appetite in eating the mash potatoes and coleslaw instead. I would give this dish a not worth it . Overall, their staff and service were relatively friendly and alright. The food came in a timely manner but the food was overpriced and mediocre. In addition, be prepared to pay for NFDF Niagara Falls Destination Fee on the bill. An 18% gratuity will be added to tables of 6 or more. I would recommend going elsewhere to dine in for a better experience.

Overpriced horrible food. Cant cook a steak right. No seasoning on it. Fries were cold. And on top of that, they quietly add on what's supposed to be an optional Niagara falls tax that they should be asking if you would like on your bill because apparently it's more of a charitable donation. Would not recommend

This was the very first stop we made after our 3 hour drive to the falls. We were starving, had never been to one and it was right beside our hotel. It was absolutely amazing!!! We both had the steak and lobster tail. Both steaks were cooked to perfection of how we had requested them and the lobster was outstanding. Even the broccoli was beyond delicious! The service was amazing, and my long island iced was the best I've had in years and came in an awesome curved glass I would love to know where to get from. Will deifnately be back on my next visit to Niagra.

Outback is a bit of a childhood memory for me. I send to go a lot with my family and I had fond memories f the place. I still enjoyed it when I went but it was much more expensive of course there's also the Niagara factor the reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because they mixed up the steaks between the person I was with and I. I didn't get the steak I wanted because they already ate most of it before I even touched mine. So that was a shame but it was still good. The blooming onion it crispy and delicious but I don't have the sauce.

Where do I start, the bathroom is gives a foul not freshly clean smell. The food is subpar , low quality and definitely NOT worth the price. My chicken was over seasoned with pepper and salt , tasteless and had traces of fish smell and pink inside . The mashed potatoes was course and clumpy . The steak was hard , burnt and could be mistaken for leather. We tried to eat the food we ordered a second time in the hotel and just couldn’t. An expensive regrettable experience.

Ordered calamari and got these overfried dry calamari, after spending $30. I tried eating them but they were dry and hard. Very disappointed makes sense now why it was nearly empty . Will not be going back!

Pros- The food is really good. Not just for Niagara Falls but also for a chain resturaunt. I saw other tables meals & everything being served looked great. Service was excellent. Cons- The prices are very high. $40 for the chicken which was really good & was a big piece of chicken. I only got 1 side since there wasn't many options to choose from. I didn't leave hungry though. $46 for the 11oz steak wouldn't be too outrageous but I didn't even realize until after we left that's what my husband had ordered. I thought he had ordered the 8oz since that is what he given.

Prices are ridiculously high, even for Niagara Falls! I understand paying $40-60 for a good steak, but you should not be charging $35 for pasta or salad. The wine is the most fairly priced item on the menu. That being said, the food was very good. The steak we ordered was cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious as well. The pasta was bland, but the chicken and shrimp on the pasta was tasty. The bread served before the meal was fresh and warm. A good experience, but don't come here if you are on a budget. Don't forget to factor in the 10% tourism fee on top of the bill..
