Outback Steak & Oyster Bar

Oh I enjoyed here despite having head-to-head food like applebees.the place was so packed and felt good in a overly-welcoming way. we were seated next to the kitchen and there were chalkboards with peoples names! I liked reading out the names, but I'm dissapointed to say I couldn't remember any of the names.Immediately after that, we ordered and were bought bread rolls, which were ultimately delicious. The oysters were also a nice touch with the cheese and vegetables. I'm sad to say I don't like oysters, so I only ate the chees-veggie sauce, but I'm really proud to say this place did well on the condiments and garnishes.for my own food I enjoyed a bit. I'm saddened to say the mashed potatoes were not to my liking. I found it distressing on how they could stick to my fork so easily, which I'm pretty sure mashed potatoes CANNOT do that (unless I'm wrong, that is).I enjoyed my stay, from the service, the ambiance and the food, it was hearty and enough for me to be satisfied.

The Outback Steak is not part of the chain. In fact, it was the original location. This one remains as the sole proprietorship and his partner left to form the chain restaurant. This is the history I recall from when we visited Branson 20+ years ago. Nicely decorated. The parking lot is tight.The alligator bites were phenomenal. Sadly the mango is now a basic pico and not the marmalade it once was.The Aussie onion was okay with the exception of the outer skin. You're supposed yo take off the inedible skin before battering and frying. My wife ordered the shrimp tacos. Don't do it! She brought a knife to a gun fight on this one. It's an Aussie restaurant after all.My ribeye was just ok. The twice baked potato was dry. The ettofe was ok, but no depth of flavor. I felt like I was at a chain restaurant.

We had a great lunch on a Wednesday here...didnt know it but oysters were half priced until I saw the bill. I would have ordered another dozen, staff was attentive, hubby also had surf and turf (filet mignon) and was very pleased. BE aware the restaurant is at the bottom of the parking lot..sign on road but it down in the gulley...Definitely would eat here again next trip to Branson

Food was very good. I had the prime rib and it was cooked perfectly. Very interesting decor, fun looking at the different alligators around the restaurant. Service was great and prompt. My drink was very tasty as well, had to substitute the coconut rum severe allergy with tequila and it was delicious!

I liked my Aussie mixed greens and berry salad with a nice raspberry vinaigrette, and the complimentary Aussie onion was the best blooming onion I've had from anywhere! My dad wasn't a fan of the Aussie Dip sandwich, but then again it's never best to order something the restaurant doesn't specialize in. The server was quick and took care of our needs indefinitely, he even saw the Aussie Onion offer coupon on my phone and brought it without need ask. The restaurant was clean, orderly, and the decor was really fun, overall I think this place is a great spot for a family outing to get a good bite to eat!PS. Our servers name was Shane, he was fantastic, took care of us, and got our food to us quickly; I didn't even have to ask for drink refills or anything!

What can I say? The food was great. The service was great. The restrooms were clean and well-stocked. Our waitress, Kelly, was amazing. She pretty much anticipated our needs before we needed things. She was very friendly and cheerful. It was a nice change from some of the places that we've been this week while visiting Branson. We really appreciate the upbeat and friendly demeanor.The decor is fun and interesting. The whole vibe of the restaurant is very upbeat and unique. We will definitely be back. My only complaint is that the garlic mashed potatoes were a bit on the dry side, but that was easily fixed with a little bit of creamy horseradish. Looking forward to our next visit!Oh, and I should also add that this place knows how to cook a well-done steak without turning it into shoe leather. That was very much appreciated!

Nice to rediscover the original Outback Steak & Oyster Bar, tonight. This is not the chain restaurant. Locally and veteran owned. Had the Mahi mahi and it was delicious. My wife had the ribeye and it was perfectly done. Also the onion appetizer was so good. Not overly done, but done enough to pull apart easily. Will need to go back and try the gator appetizer, shrimp, lobster, wings. I'm not an oyster guy, but there are plenty of great options for them too!

We thought this may be the chain of Outbacks, but I don't believe so. The setup wasn't the usually and it had an open grill where the chefs prepared the food. We had a party of 4 and was seated immediately. I checked in on Yelp and received a free Onion Bloosom but wasn't able to redeem the offer in addition to a military discount. The blossom was hot, seasoned, fried to perfection, and served with a great remoulade dipping sauce. The rolls were moist and buttery, and you could taste the delicious yeast! The Alfredo, by far, is a game changer when it comes to quality of ingredients, season, creamy, quantity, and taste! Even if you're not a pasta eater, you would love this Alfredo. Hands down, the chef is making the sauce from scratch! The sausage had a little spicy as well and great quality. The grilled shrimp is next on the list that you by far should order when you visit this gem! They were seasoned so good, Juicy and grilled perfect. This place isn't the normaly Outback and you will be very pleased with the quality of food.

The food was amazing i had the burger and my family had the 8oz filte and the 16oz prime rib. The service was amazing our waitress was Kelly and she was always giving us refills and was funny and cheerful and was some of the best service while we were visiting branson. The ambiance is upbeat and log cabin vibes everywhere with Aussie vibes . The restrooms were extremely clean . Somebody was playing with the restroom lights and it was very annoying . Overall this was an amazing experience and we will be back very soon with this place in mind.

Place sucks, walked in 45 minutes before closing and they turned us away because we were the only ones there. Will not be returning with service like that.
