I'd been hanging onto some gift cards since last Christmas and conveniently, this location opened less than 5 minutes from my house. I brought my kids to have their first bloomin' onion, which they loved, and outback now has a little raised tray to put it on in the middle of the table. There are some good weekly deals as well. We came on a Wednesday and took advantage of the sirloin+side+drink deal for like $13. For the price it's very good. The bloomin onion was also still reasonably priced and made for a fun memory.
We stopped going to the former Outback Steakhouse, but we were curious enough to try the new Altamonte Springs location. I'm so glad that I chose it for my birthday. For a Friday night, the wait was brief, but I did call ahead, The atmosphere was pleasant, though as seniors, we would have preferred the music to be less overwhelming.
Nevertheless, other positive elements overshadowed the music volume. Customer service was professional, yet friendly. The preparation, presentation, and flavors of the food were enticing. The loaf of black bread was fresh and hot enough to easily melt the butter. My husband was so enamored with his salad wedge that he had to finish every morsel even after the entrees arrived. Timing was ideal for me, because I had just eaten my last bite of a good Caesar salad, generously prepared with dressing and fresh parmesan without too many croutons.
Our combos arrived hot and cooked to perfection. My ribs were tender, meaty, and flavorful. However, the extra barbecue sauce was a welcome addition, because it was s-o-o good. The baked potatoes were well done without being too crusty on the outside and garnished with everything (except sour cream, which I had requested to be omitted on mine). My husband enjoyed his coconut shrimp, and both steaks were tender, not overly seasoned, and cooked to the requested medium.
We saved most of our steaks, while I added a rib and part of half of my baked potato for lunch the next day. Given my choice for my birthday dessert, I listened to the recommendation of our exceptional server and appreciated the generosity of the manager. A group joined our server in song and presented the chocolate tower cake, which was nothing short of magnificent! Enough dessert for a small group, we'll continue to savor every leftover bite.
We definitely will be returning. As a retired teacher, I would not hesitate to give this restaurant and remarkable crew a well-deserved A+. Thanks for providing us with such a fine dining experience and birthday celebration! You all made my day more special.

Love coming here when I don't want to cook. Can't go wrong with steak and beer. Our server Spencer was great and super friendly. Always made sure our drinks were filled. As a person who loves his bloomin onions and steaks, it's definitely a great Outback.
Other than the salad being spicy, our meal and waiter was on point. Very attentive, very polite. Good vibes, definitely returning
