My wife and I arrived at 8pm for dinner and Audra (the hostess I assume) immediately greeted us with a smile and hello. Our waitress Lianalei was very knowledgeable and friendly and tended to all our dining needs. Our blooming onion and sauce was crispy and tasty. The salad was fresh and crisp and the baked potatoe soup was hearty and flavorful. Our baked potatoes were hot and loaded with toppings. The coconut shrimp and sauce had a good texture and flavor too. Our steaks came out done to our desired doneness and bursting with flavor. The bread and butter were very good as well. Thank you for a great dinner out. We will be returning on another date night.

Dont usually leave reviews but was very disappointed. There was tons of available tables ( less then 5 occupied tables with double digit table openings) and hostess still indicated a 5-10 minute wait time. That was not a problem as we figured maybe they've been short staff and keeping numbers down. When being seated, had to dust off the bread off the chairs. Our beers came quick and it was good. The complimentary bread was delicious as always, but assumed it would come cut, not a problem. Ordered a burger, waitress indicated that cheese would be an additional cost even though the menu says that it comes with it. Ordered a blooming onion and chopped up battered onions arrived, nit what is pictured on the menu or what an actual blooming onion would look like.
Also ordered 2 medium rare ribeye and was expecting it to be cooked a little better. Seemed more well done. Very disappointing and not the outback experience we were expecting or accustomed too. The waitress was very nice, but literally brought the check half way through our meal. The restaurant was filling up when we were leaving, so they must be doing something right.

Outback in Kihei is a reliably great place for dinner and lunch. As locals it’s a about once a month or so we make it here and it is always a great time.
We always enjoy the mushrooms for an appetizer. They steaks are always cooked to order, and they know how to do rare.
We’re not quite sure what had happened since Covid in 2020 but prior to that there was always a wait line at the door especially on the weekends. Now when we go in it’s rarely full.
Either way it’s one of our date night go tos and we appreciate the staff and the experience.

Bartender/server was very friendly. I think I am leaving a review just for him. He made everything great!
Appetizer: Bloomin’ onion was ok. The cajun seasoning was too much, and some parts of the onion wasn’t cooked well, it was a bit raw.
Entree:
1) Aussie Twisted ribs were very good! Sirloin was cooked medium rare perfectly.
2) I wouldn’t recommend chicken and shrimp pasta. Pasta came with an alfredo sauce but the noodles were very dry and the sauce was just ok.
Still an amazing experience, 5 stars!

Was disappointed with blooming onion. They changed it to blooming chips , waitress didn't tell me when I ordered. It looked like leftovers and didn't taste like it should've. Needless to say I returned it. New items on menu was this sandwich. It wasn't up to standard by wasn't as bad as blooming onion. The best thing about that day was my salad and the waitress she was so sweet.
