Outback Steakhouse Charlottesville

Steak was good, solid and as expected. The 'mixed vegetables ' were just a couple slices of zucchini and a pile of carrots. Left a little to be desired. But the mashed potatoes were good. Service was attentive but not overly so.

I wanted to write a review specifically to recognize our server tonight, Chris Cherry, provided us with phenomenal service. He gave us multiple recommendations on drinks and food along with being incredibly attentive throughout the night. We will definitely be returning and specifically requesting him whenever possible.

This Outback has been hit or miss for several years now (way before COVID) but the last several time I've been here the service has been great and the food has been tasty. Some servers are better than others in that some will take better care of you. Two of these are Elliot and Derek. There is also a bald African American gentleman who I've only had once but he's good too. On my most recent visit my girlfriend and I sat in the bar lounge instead of waiting for a table. We enjoyed where we sat and if the exact spot is available whenever we come here my girlfriend wants to sit there again. Our server was Derek and to say he was on top of his game is an understatement. It was busy but he still managed to keep checking on us regularly. Two things that impressed me about him was 1) my girlfriend and I both ordered soup and when he brought our drinks (and maybe bread too I don't remember) he had the soups with him!! 2) he brought us our first refill without asking!! This wins me over almost every time because I drink a lot of soda at least my first glass). One time when I did ask for a refill my girlfriend did not ask for one but he still brought her her drink just in case! The food was great and my girlfriend enjoyed the strawberry salad. Thank you Derek for taking such good care of us and thanks to Elliot for the time he had my mother, sister and I for his awesome service. This Outback has really improved in the last few years in my opinion and it's one of the few places my whole family agrees on.

One of my favorite locations, smaller than most , but great service especially at the bar.

Very clean. Didnt have to wait in a line. The food was good I would have gave it 5 stars but my burger was more pink than I would have liked. But the best part was the service my server, Angel was very pleasant always checking if I needed anything. Will be coming back
