Outback Steakhouse Inverness

The staff were very accommodating for our large group. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! We will definitely be returning.

My husband and I decided to dine at Outback in Inverness, Florida for our date night, as they had new menu items my husband was interested in trying. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, receiving compliments from other tables as well. We debated between the original Bloomin' Onion and the new Bloomin' Fried Shrimp for appetizers, with the Bloomin' Onion winning by a small margin. It was a delicious choice, with a nice-sized onion battered, fried, and served with a spicy bloom sauce. I opted for the Alice Springs Chicken instead of the spicy jammin' meatloaf, and it was a boneless, skinless chicken breast topped with mushrooms, bacon, honey mustard, and cheeses. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the fresh veggies and seasoned rice sides were excellent. My husband tried the new Bloomin' Fried Chicken, and he loved it so much he wished for a bigger portion. The Caesar salad he chose as a side was also excellent. The meals were accompanied by pumpernickel bread and butter, and we enjoyed multiple glasses of unsweetened iced tea. It was a great date night with delicious food and wonderful service.

Went there with wifey for my birthday. OMG! Food was awful. I like pepper on my food, but not food on my pepper! Everything I ordered: fried mushrooms, Bloomin chicken, etc. was so laden with black pepper that I could not eat it. I am not allergic but is it absolutely necessary. Will never go back. Avoid this restaurant unless you love, I mean absolutely love black pepper and have a cast iron stomach!

We experienced a great dinner before going to the rodeo. Very busy so we sat at the bar and received very friendly customer-care service by Cassie and Heather! Both ladies were attentive and very polite wanting to ensure our meal was as ordered and to our satisfaction! The atmosphere at the bar was really nice as several customers engaged in conversation and Heather and Cassie added value to the conversation and experience! Congratulations to the Manager of this restaurant for having employees positive attitude who engage and care about their customers demonstrated by Cassie and Heather!

A VERY pleasant surprise! Everything the way it should be! Thank you! Right out of the box I 'll admit that we 've been staying away from Outback. We 'd had multiple less-than-stellar experiences at our nearest Outback. We gave them opportunities to win us back, but after four attempts, we called it quits. So, it took a HUGE leap of faith, a different location AND a $50 birthday Gift Card to bring us back to the Bloomin ' Brand. Bathed in a twilight splash of colors, awash in a light drizzling rain, we hopscotched over puddles on the glossy black tarmac. Roof edge waterfalls cascaded down as we ducked in, to this Outback. Leading my lady by the hand, Fab One I chose to sit in a cozy booth. In the adult libation area. Some would call it the 'bar '. What a great choice and lucky us! For this was the service domain of the inimitable Sherry! She welcomed us with 'open arms '... We were soon to realize that our past down under frown blunder journeys were fading away, just as the lights that go down in the city at sunrise. We were so impressed with the reprieve that Sherry was serving, I insisted on speaking with the manager. That would be Jennifer. In no time, we all had a high vibe, high five kind of feeling. And plenty of applause for Sherry. Awesome! Am I leaving anything out? OH! The food! Fab One chose the 8 oz. Outback Sirloin, I believe these used to be called The Outback Special? For sides, she got the obligatory loaded baked potato and a chopped pecan salad. It was a pleasing relief to see her smiling eyes, as she dabbled in some mighty fine fork knife feasting. (I know that look. Wink! I REALLY wanted to get a Bloomin ' Onion. HOW can you NOT get a Bloomin ' Onion? I just knew that I 'd better leave room for my steak-craving plate that was to come! So, there was to be NO Bloomin ' Onion in our future. Not tonight, anyhow. I witnessed a virtual light bulb go off over Sherry 's head, as she pointed out an item on the special 'Specials ' menu. And there, in bold colors, was the answer to my Outback comeback! I could get a Steak 'N Mate Combo! I 'd get my Outback Sirloin paired with Bloomin ' Fried SHRIMP! Imagine the taste of a Bloomin ' Onion but wrapped around succulent shrimp! Shrimp swimming in that spicy bloom sauce. AND this came with TWO sides! Craving completely satisfied! Pinch me! Naturally, I got a loaded Baked Potato and a take-me-back House Salad. Ohhhhhhh, did we ever hit the jackpot! A raindrop falling, memory recalling, Sherry grand slamming, old hangout homecoming... It was a magical night. A great belated birthday present and a much-needed repast....
