When we first reported on the planned Outback Steakhouse along Preston Road in Prosper back in March 2024, it was still just a filing and a construction site. That has since changed. The restaurant officially opened on April 1, 2025, with a grand opening ceremony a few days later. Industry coverage also confirmed the debut, with Nation’s Restaurant News noting the Prosper opening as part of Bloomin’ Brands’ growth strategy (NRN).
Construction and Opening
The Prosper location came together over the course of 2024 and into early 2025. Outback Steakhouse, part of Bloomin’ Brands, confirmed the project with filings, and construction wrapped up in time for the April opening. The new building features a modernized look with colorful interior murals and lighting that customers have noticed and commented on.
Location and Community
The restaurant sits at 840 S. Preston Road, a corridor that continues to attract national chains and retailers as Prosper expands southward. The area has seen steady growth, and the arrival of another well-known sit-down option gives residents and visitors an alternative to nearby Texas Roadhouse and similar dining spots.
Reviews and Reception
Feedback so far has been mostly positive. On Google, the location holds a 4.3-star rating from more than 140 reviews. Customers highlight the vibrant design, attentive staff, and consistent food quality. Some even say this location has restored their faith in the brand.
Not all feedback is glowing, though. A few diners mention long wait times for seating and food, with delays of up to 40 minutes noted. There have also been occasional complaints about steaks not being cooked to order. Still, the overall sentiment is favorable, and many locals are adding this Outback to their rotation of dining options.
