Disappointment – I frequently eat at Outback and have enjoyed it tremendously in the past. With this in mind, when it came time for me to obtain some raffle prizes for a charity event, I figured Outback would be a great place since they have such good food and service. I was sorely disappointed when I spoke to a manager and he told me that they are only willing to donate to customers who are willing to come in and have a meal (and maybe not even then!) He didn't even take into consideration that maybe I was a customer, or th... read more

Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – 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'... read more

Service was a let down. – Our party of 16 adult bikers visited the FootHills location a few days ago. In spite of our reservation, we waited one half hour for seating. Outback food and portions were satisfactory, however our one waitress for 16 people had to be constantly reminded to focus on her job -- that being servicing her customers. She appeared to be either overwhelmed by her duties, more interested in joining our conversations or deeply relieved by the 15% gratuity added onto each bill.

Salty as the Pacific Ocean... – My first visit to an Outback in about 6 years... Was a little dissapointed. I saw someone mention the pepper which doesn't bother me much but the salt was atrocious. This chain started up after the Australian Tourism slogan "throw another shrimp on the barbie" which was dreamed up for the American audience. In all actuallity a shrimp is called a prawn down-under and the flavors of Australia barely compare to the MSG ladden dishes you will receive here. Last time I visited Outback the lamb chop... read more

Frequent Flier – This Outback is by FAR the best I have ever eaten at. The waitstaff is attentive and very prompt. I recommend the Aussie Cheese Fries, the Prime Rib, and the Filet. Even if you just want a great burger it's the place to go- you can even have it cooked to your liking! Their desserts are sinfully good! You can never be let down by the Outback on Grant and Swan!

Pepper anyone? – I rarely go out to dinner. The novelty is enough to make up for any flaws of the food. Outback managed to outdo the novelty all together. To The chef must have emptied a whole can of pepper on everything. The onion blossom (I LOVE fried onions) was so spicey I had to dip it to dull down the pepper. The fries were so seasoned that my hubby took a bite and pushed them away. Again the pepper. The onion soup, usually my favorite was bland, but pepper free. The steak was pretty good. The texture was nice and the ... read more

Best in the West – Excellent steak, primerib, salad, drinks and service. You name it; it's above average at the Outback. By far my favorite place to go for steak in Tucson.
