I have been to several outbacks. Menu didn't include all of our favorites. Was there only 10 minutes. The salad had a bug in it. We let the manager know and left immediately.

We had a $5 off coupon and weren't particularly excited about coming, but we did. My husband's rib eye was perfectly cooked, as was my prime rib. Service was fine, sides and bread were O.K., nothing special. Overall a good experience. Better than we expected.

Outback is not in the Ballston Commons Mall - but rather just off Route 50 at 4821 North First Street. The food is fine - nothing fancy - but good. The service is great and casual atmosphere. If you are looking for a steak at a reasonable cost - this is it.

Lacks character and uniqueness. Booths small. Nothing special to report.

Just what we expect at every outback we go to. Good Food, Good Service. Some are better than others, Some servers more personable than others. But the food is consistantly good.
