Outback Steakhouse - Milpitas

Nice place for steak or combo. Had steak with a bowl of soup and salad. Good hang out dinner with their beer on the tap. But do make reservations if you do not want to wait. Waited abt 30 mins to get a table.

The service at this restaurant is excellent, but the food leaves much to be desired. We ordered the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and rice. The chicken portion was disappointingly small and quite dry. The mashed potatoes were enjoyable, but the rice tasted like something you’d get in a school cafeteria. We also tried the chicken and shrimp pasta, which was an improvement over the other dish—the shrimp was tasty, while the pasta was just average. The strawberry salad, on the other hand, was very good! The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant, but it could use more attention to cleanliness, as the floors were quite dirty and the tables sticky.

We sat at the bar so much fun. Great wine and food!

I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered the 6oz steak, which was cooked just the way I wanted. The server was also very friendly and attentive.

The shark drink (Aussie jawsie) was fun and delicious, but so sweet I couldn’t finish it. It was like drinking fruit concentrate.The bloomin onion is apparently too big for two people, so we were offered a bloomin onion plate instead, and that was the appropriate amount. Bread and butter good. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, cuz everything else was so expensive, and it was unfortunately pretty dry. The server was very nice and formal.
