I hate to rate a restaurant low, especially a chain that I have loved over the years, but here goes.
I have been to the Round Rock Outback numerous times and they simply cannot get my steak or prime rib cooked to the right temperature. I ask for a medium rare and get a thin strip of pink. While the management is great in fixing things, there has to be a time when I have to say sayonara.
This is a shame, since I really like the bartenders and wait staff at the establishment. It is further a shame that I like Outback steaks (the taste of cayenne mixed into the seasonings? mmmm!) With so many other steakhouses in the general vicinity, I just don't see wasting more time here.
My sincere hope is the management will see this and straighten things out, as I would consider another try if things were better. -

I didn't really care for the atmosphere here... I think maybe this location was an old one, because I remember the one in Killeen being pretty nice.
For the food... we got the coconut shrimp for an appetizer. While the outside was a little well done, it was still really good. I got a house salad, and the croutons were awesome! Buttery and garlicky goodness. They gave me bleu cheese instead of the ranch I asked for, but it was still good. Their bread with the whipped butter is pretty tasty, although I like Saltgrass' better.
For my dinner, I got the ribeye with baked potato and a lobster tail. The steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare, although I had to add salt to it. The potato was really good, it had the salt on the outside, I love that. The lobster tail was delish, very sweet.
We got the dessert trio (brownie, cheesecake, carrot cake) to go. They were just ok, I wouldn't order them again.
While the food was pretty good, I can't see giving them more than 3 stars because the atmosphere sucked and their desserts sucked. I would try another location, perhaps, but why when I can go to Saltgrass. I will have to see if Saltgrass has lobster tail, because that is the only reason I would really go back. -

I used to work at an Outback during college so I am familiar with the menu and what it is supposed to taste like. Our cheese fries were awesome. TONS of cheese and a good amount of bacon. That is where my pleasure with this experience ends. It took forever to get our drinks and my steak (an Outback Special) was awful. Weird texture and no flavor. My vegetables, which have always been AMAZING at Outback, were bland and soggy. I was so disappointed. I will come back for the appetizers but Texas Roadhouse gets my vote for the main course!
If you do eat here, ask for a little side of the raspberry sauce they use for the cheesecake and mix it in with your butter for the bread. Awesome! -

Great service, the manager and waitress, Alyssa, were both very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. I'd recommend this location to anyone

I usually loooooooooove Outback. I worked at one during college and have been a regular ever since. Most of them have VERY high quality standards for service, freshness, and promptness.
That's why it's so surprising that this one is just "meh." We went there last night and it was uncrowded, but yet our food took FOREVER to get to us, and was not spectacular. I told my husband, "This is no Morelia Grill, you know."
Given how relatively expensive the food is here, it ought to be a lot better. Like the other Outbacks in the world. -

What was I thinking? My hubby and I never go to chain restaurants. We love the local dives and familiar spots. We went to visit a family member in the hospital in Round Rock and stopped in at the Outback for dinner. My hubby had the prime rib and sweet potato and was not impressed but not unhappy. I, for some stupid reason, ordered the tilipia with crab meat. (I'm not big on red meat) It was obviously a frozen entree zapped and plopped on my plate. It was over salty, tough and bitter tasting. What was I thinking????? I don't plan on going out to the Outback again any time soon.

Outback at best has a menu of food that is...well, what you'd expect from most chain restaurants: pretty good for a casual evening out.
And the service is nothing above and beyond the norm.
HOWEVER, I have found the best item on their menu: The Ahi Tuna Appetizer. Wonderfully seasoned and accompanied by two flavor exploding dipping sauces. Get ready for a powerful blast of goodness in your mouth! BOOM! Love it!
That is the ONLY reason I give them 4 stars. -
Review from Gary K.
Which will it be? When we want to go to a middle range steakhouse we have to pick form Outback Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse or Montana Mikes (now in Georgetown).
BTW: MY BOOMERANG STILL WON'T COME BACK!
We have been going to Outback 3 or 4 times a year since they opened in Austin and area. The restaurant has many locations all are consistent and keep the food consistent as well. We like the steaks (quite the variety), hamburger and prime rib along with the baked potatoes. I like mine medium rare, wife like hers medium. I did send mine back once because it was well done instead of medium rare.
Always had really nice young wait staff most of which look like they are working their way through college. Always enjoyed there verbal intercourse. They know the menu and go out of there way to please you most of the time.
Time to sing: Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down ...........
To sum up: nice place, good steaks, good service, right price, good drinks, nice full bar, some TVs for sports; so what's not to like. So if you are one of the few who haven't tried it give them a chance.
One more item, our favorite desert at Outback was the Cinnamon Oblivion, ice cream covered in Carmel coated pecans along with cinnamon apples and some kind of sweet croutons, we loved it. It keep calling us back my wife would fight me for more than her share. WOW! We loved it. But Boo Hoo they dropped it form their menu a year or so ago. Maybe that is why to started going to Texas Roadhouse more often.
Would I go back? Yes, I will. -

Good place. I went here and had a great dinner. The potato soup wasn't that great, but the martini's were awesome and so was the steak. The service was slow. Especially since there were so few people there, but the food made up for it. Too bad it is so far away.
Update: So I went here and ordered a T-bone steak. You think that a steakhouse would do steaks pretty good, but no. So chewy, and that is their most expensive steak. Of course, this isn't the first time I had steak there, still, better off doing it yourself at home. I like their food, but avoid the steaks. -

This used to be one of my favorite hangouts in the area. I would go to the bar and order me up some jackaroo chops with a salad and mashed potatoes, but alas, they changed their menu and no more chops. Boo hoo!
That was definitely a deal breaker for me so I don't go anymore. When I did, though, it was a nice little place to hang out, relax, eat and drink. -

It's no secret that over the years Outback has so significantly declined in food quality and overall service from it's heyday years in the nineties...
In fact ordering a steak nowadays at Outback whether in Texas or any other state and you might as well be at a breakfast diner ordering steak and eggs in overall quality.
But during a recent visit to the Round Rock location (no steaks ever anymore) the most obviously worst of our times in cell phones and adolescent restaurant employees hit an all time low.
During my and friends visit on one of the busier nights of the week the bartender or one of them, lets call her "cindy" could not keep herself from the phone. It became so out of control my companion was about to say something before we just figured it wasn't worth it and left. As soon as the second bartender was away from the bar serving bar tables or stoclking she began a non stop in your face texting barragae. She would stand right in front of the customers all around her and text back and forth. As soon as a text came back she would stop what she was doing to respond. People had to wait for her to put the phone down for a sec to get her attention. At one pont a couple began to try and talk to her and she went over to the edge of bar with phone in hand and slid it under the counter so she could look back and forth at them and the phone. When done she slyly slid it in her pocket and kept her hand on. Minutes later she actually forgot what what she was just doing in helping one of the other bartenders and had to catch herself and put e phone down. If she wasn't texting it sat openly in front of the register always lit up as it was a non stop texting process with someone...
It was the worst immature and unprofessional display of service yet and clearly helped to represet the decline of these now lower end chain restaurants across the country. Management is virtually invisible hiding in front of back expo lines, no management in fact on this eve was ever once seen and it was a busy night....but that is typical of these chains today..
Quality restaurants do a better job of forbidding cell phones to be on and or with the server...many in Austin now fire or cut shifts for such.....Outback has always been a very adolescent hire with very poor overall mamangement presence at least in past decade. I think most of us can deal with that but to sit there and watch the youthful bartender endlessly play on the phoine while customers and the service well are busy is deplorable.
The nails of the Outback continue to be placed in their coffin.... -

We went to this Outback twice in the past few weeks because they are open later than most places, and we wanted darn good burgers. Not only are they darn good (as long as you order them medium or medium rare), but they are very reasonably priced for a normally pricier restaurant ($7.50-$8.50ish). I do wish they had a mushroom swiss burger (there weren't many options really), but they did a great job of slaking my late evening burger craving. Their fries are tasty -- though a bit over seasoned. I love that they send you home (we got take out) with their yummy bread, too! Online ordering is awesome, too!

So, yeah, pretty much, it's an Outback. If you've ever been inside an Outback Steakhouse, you'll recognize the decor instantly. As always, the service is competent, but not exceptional. The food is meat, and lots of it, with the occasional fish or shrimp for distraction. The steaks are decent. The appetizers are tasty and bad for you. The desserts, frankly, look so boring I've never tried one.
You'll rarely have a great steak at an Outback, but you'll seldom have a bad one, either. That being said, this place misses a few of the little touches I'd come to appreciate at the Outback where we lived before, and the prices seem a shade higher. All in all, I don't feel like this is going to be one of our regular staples like our old Outback used to be. -

I have eaten at Outbacks all over the country, one thing I like is consistency. I am more of a chicken guy so the Alice spring chicken plate is my dish. The salad is always fresh and the service is good as long as you avoid the rush!

This place is a joke. Why would you eat steak or burgers at a sudo Ozzy chain restaurant in Texas of all places. What the hell are you thinking?

My husband and I used to go to Outback at least once every couple of weeks. It used to be really good food, but I don't know what happend to it the last couple years or so. The food has been horrible the last few times we have gone. We have tried several different locations but they all seem to be the same now. I didn't mind paying that much when the food was good but will not be going back. Too expensive and yucky taste. It used to feel more upscale and not so much like a chain but a chain is exactly what it feels like now.
