Outback Steakhouse

The last dining experience me and my family had was such a positive one. With a newborn baby, finding restaurants that will accommodate us is difficult. Eating out has been something we now shy away from. My husband saw an ad for a lunch special with options for both of us (as well as in our price range.) I am vegetarian, while he is not. With our family recently having grown finances are tight as well, but we decided to try somewhere new. When we arrived we were greeted instantly by the smiling hostess as well as an amazing aroma of homemade mashed potatoes (although my husband swears it was the smell of grilled chicken) the waitress was able to find us a table that would fit our car seat and we asked about the lunch specials. We were able to order lunch, appetizers and drinks all within our budget. The food was delicious, and served very quickly. To my surprise I even was able to bring home leftovers! We will definitely be returning! Our experience at the outback steakhouse has made us feel like a normal family again, and was well worth the visit

For years I have gone to Outback’s in many locations in upstate NY and the reason for that is their high standards. Not so at the Albany location on Wolf Rd. tonight. I always eat at the bar when I travel alone, it was not busy at all tonight . I ordered my steak med rare and a salad. A good 20 minutes pass and the manager delivers my steak, I asked him where my salad was, he went back to the kitchen and brought it to me with no apology. My steak was maybe medium but I could see the lack of any management qualities in this man and could not wait another 20 minutes for them to get it wrong again. The waiter /bartender was not engaged at all. I had to ask for pepper as well. My water glass was empty for I asked the waiter for more water he acknowledged and went on to wash glasses right in front of me. 60seconds or so later I asked again for water, I did get eventually. When I was leaving I asked to speak to the manager he came to the front to see me and I told him this is not the Outback experience I have been accustomed to, he said he was sorry that’s it, remember this is the same person who never brought out my salad. The hostess was actually more apologetic and sincere, as I left I told her you should be running the restaurant. So I can see the old Outback satisfaction guaranteed is no more.

The family and I went here for dinner today, party of 6. Malaysia, the host, was super personable, friendly, kind, welcoming, the list could go on. Our waitress was also very nice. I only gave 4 stars because the kids food came out last and my son was done with his chicken before his fries even came out. Other than that, food was great, good service and a clean restaurant.

Conley was the best server ever!! we had a delicious time at this outback steak house with some tasty drinks and even tastier food!! to top it all off the silverware was actually clean and polished and they clean their tables well using paper towels instead of the the same old dirty rag. I'll definitely be coming back here in hopes that the gentleman Conley will serve us again.

We went for my fathers birthday dinner and got a blooming onion… well it was taking a long time but we didn’t complain just being patient. And the manger comes out and apologized because it wasn’t up to her standard to serve out so she made us another one and took it off our bill. All I can say is that truly habe good management and appreciated they cared so much

One of the best experience’s! Went on a date night with my fiancé and the food was great I got a sirloin medium and he got the same but medium rare! The drinks were delicious as well! I want to show appreciation to the server we had! Our server Aleia always made sure we had everything we needed and if we asked for something it was brought to us right away! She was so sweet and polite. Definitely will be going back soon for another date night.
