Review Outback Jack's - Glenelg

Had a disappointing meal here. Wanted to have a small family gathering but told they couldn’t handle a group of 11 despite there being 3 unreserved tables of 4 right there?! Had to split up the group with grandkids and grand parents in different parts of the room. Otherwise, Staff were friendly and attentive. Kids meals were ok, kids ribs were great! Sadly all other food wasn’t so good. Brioche entree was doughy and tasteless, not at all fresh like it should be. The fillet mignon was bland and lifeless. The bacon was watery, the salads meh and the baked potato tasted weird. Only the garlic butter dressing offered flavor. My wife’s meal was the same, she consumed half the garlic dressing to get through her meal. Other family members that ordered steak meals were also disappointed. When paying $36+ for a steak meal, you expect it to be amazing, this was very poor. Not sure how you could ruin what looked to amazing cuts of meat.

Went here for lunch on a sunday, the lack of people should have been a warning sign. Ordered our entres and meals, only to be informmed they were out of salt and pepper squid. Nothing else appealed to my partner so we just ordered the entrees and decided to have mains elsewhere. The waiting staff were very inexperienced, looking at you blankly and all looking like they did not enjoy working there. Entrees were out in about 40 minutes, the limit you would want to wait for an entree in a quiet resturant. The potato skins were poor value, 3 small (6cm) long slices with bacon and cheese. The chicken taco things would have been ok if it were not for the overbearing blue cheese. In all not that great.

Portion size very small for $36, had to go get something to eat after coming here. Steak was ok, and chips tasted like the frozen McCain's ones you cook in the oven. Wait staff were lovely.

Always great service and food. For every bad review there are 2 upset customers. For every positive review there are 15+ happy customers. Check out the great view from the back two tables that seat two people each.

Food was ok, nothing special. Although my husband's steak was a bit overdone. A bit pricey for what it is...

Had an absolutely amazing meal here. Table of 7. All meals came out very close together. Massive servings, especially for the price . Kids meals were great value (kids ribs). Went there for my birthday, we brought our own cake. They supplied a platter, plates, forks extra serviettes and a knife at no charge. Beautiful view of the beach and fantastic service. Little slow on drinks service but we prefer to be left alone when dining anyway.

I would not recommend going to the Glenelg one , however the Darwin one was amazing. Glenelg wasn't very busy when we ate there and it still took along time to get sort of service. The staff where not friendly and didn't smile. They didn't know stock levels as forty minutes after ordering they told me they didn't have a dozen oysters available only half a dozen. The waiter didn't care about my wife's three allergies that can make her very sick. Steak is the main thing she can eat but was still all to difficult for the waiter. Avoid the disappointment.

Place is tired and worn out. They fact they cant be bothered with a little touch up paint says a lot. Place is in a premium location with premium prices. Steak was fine, oysters were crap, way to much topping.... Without new management that was my last time there. Garlic bread was probably best i have ever had.
