I had to think real hard about this review. In the past years we have used Doug for school events, and have not been completely satisfied with his quality of food and his service. We liked that he offered many options, but every time he would come our events he demanded that we supply lighting for him. Most recently he was at one of our events and his son was eating cotton candy and taking money, while serving food at the same time.
While I encourage kids to step up, he saw nothing wrong with his son sticking his fingers in his mouth and serving food. This was unfortunate. Many of the parents also.complained that he was rude in his demneor, and appeared to be angry at requests by patrons. Most recently he got angry because he was told he could not sell his popcorn or cotton candy due to the school having another vendor, and he began to get nasty and upset.
The Board and the committee felt it was time for h to no longer service or sell at our school. Oh and one parent was disgusted by the fact that he was pouring BBQ sauce from what she said was a smart and final gallon container. "8.00 for for a sandwich dipped in smart and final sauce, sad." One parent said. I know he may be good at catering non vendor type events, but he was not what our school and board wanted.
Just beware he is not very nice when he does not get his way : Update: Doug says he was called back 4 or 5 years.yet he was only called back for a total of 2 events, and after the second event with all that happened the board voted to not use him anymore. So BEWARE

We planned a Christmas bbq using Out Back Catering. It was held today and we could not be more pleased. They showed up right on schedule. The food was ready right on schedule. They made a beautiful presentation and the food was delicious. When lunch was over Doug and his crew cleaned up everything. I highly recommend Out Back Catering. I felt the prices were very reasonable. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

We just had them cater our year end Thank you luncheon for about 120 employees. Because of the type of building we are in we could not have a cook on site event. Plus we've done the more BBQ type food the last couple of years and people wanted something new. So we went with the Italian feast menu. Pasta, Cesar salad, veggie skewers, lemon chicken and garlic bread. Heard great reviews from our employees about healthy choices, good food, Which is what you want to hear.
The staff who worked our event was a wonderful team; they made this event one of the easiest set / clean up and most enjoyable I've done. We would use them again. Thank you Doug & team

Warning: This is a rip-off! I talked to Doug who sounds very nice and helpful. I explained him what I need for my party and he sent me the quotation this morning which at first I thought he made a mistake. But turned out that it was not a mistake. Let me start by saying that I plan different parties for my office, charities and my home at least three to five times a year.
This time I decided to go with a casual Brunch at my house and had Out Back Catering in mind to try. Below is what I gathered from their quotation compare to other caterings: - Mandatory 17% Gratuity(tip): No other catering charge for tip. That is something you will pay onsite based on catering service. When I told Doug about this he said "All Hotels have service charge".
I made sure he understood that you don't compare hotel to catering! Hotel's charge is for location and they add service fee but catering use your own place as a location! - 5 hours minimum charge for staff $240+ $180 setup/ breakdown: I don't have any problem with 5 hours or $180 set up/ delivery. The problem is they charge separate for set up and 2 hours for the staff preparation.
In other word you only have 3 hours of staff. Where other caterings charge for setup+ hourly staff. Example: I asked for omelette station starting at 1pm to 3pm and mini hamburger starting at 5pm to 7pm and have no problem paying them the minimum of 5 hours. They are charging 9 hours of staff for $432+another $180 for setup/ delivery. When I asked why 9 hours, he said they have to be there at 11am (two hours preparation for the omelette station + $180 setup/ delivery!

I just went to a party catered by this company yesterday evening and I must say, I have never seen such rude attitude by the staff (which I am assuming is his extended family). They refused to serve me food because they thought I was in line for seconds even though I had just arrived to the party (late). I asked them what the problem was (even IF a guest wanted seconds) and they told me that they needed to save food for those who hadn't arrived yet.
I literally had to beg for a piece of chicken. I managed to get a bite of the dry and tough piece of chicken when a friend sitting next to me snapped his plastic fork because it was so tough. I know this may sound ridiculous but he went through THREE PLASTIC FORKS until he eventually gave up. But then, I couldn't believe what I saw next. The catering employees started to make plates for THEMSELVES while still serving the last few guests arriving.
A majority of them took their plates to the back area, but some of them just stood there EATING AT THE BUFFET LINE. WHO KNEW THEY WERE JUST SAVING FOOD FOR THEMSELVES?! Other guests quickly commented on this as they too were given small portions and refused seconds. Eventually, the staff seemed to completely disappear from the serving area and left it unattended and a bunch of us ended up serving ourselves the dry and under-seasoned fried rice and salad with lettuce that looked a bit aged.
I don't want to hate on this family businesses, but in this case I could see how it negatively affected the service. When I raised a complaint initially about not being served by the older gentleman, two females servers quickly dismissed his mistake and defended him without hesitation. If you're thinking of hiring these guys, please think of your guests first.
Their memories of your special event, like mine, will want to be completely forgotten. PS, I wanted to write this review yesterday but decided to sleep on it. I woke up this morning still pissed.

After calling several caterers and not feeling very confident I was going to find the right one, I spoke to Doug. He was responsive and helpful I creating the right menu for my party. He handled any changes quickly and followed up with me to ensure everything was correct. His catering team were on time and very friendly to me and my guests (50 people!). Everyone LOVED the food and wanted to know more about who the caterer was. I highly recommend Outback Catering

Catered a birthday party for 80 people on my tennis court. The guests were raving about the food! We had a dinner options of Tri tip, custom pizzas, and chicken. Appetizers served before meal were great! Staff were very helpful and friendly. This is the third time I've used them and I'll use them next time as well. Money well spent!

I hate to write this review because the service people were AMAZING! However the food, the price, and I'm assuming the owner weren't the best. Everything was done through email or mail. And since it was alot of $ I wanted to check it out in person, so I drove there. As a result I felt as if Doug Got upset, and started adding so many fees, long story short service alone was $600 plus a $200 gratuity, taxes another $200!
I got hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, and Philly sandwiches, which were nothing special, buy the pack at costco and do it yourself. I wish I can hire the people without having to deal with the business.

Well all I can say are good things about this place. I was very happy with the food I absolutely love their BBQ sauce and omg their horseradish is amazing and I don't usually care for that. The tri tip and baby back ribs are my favoirte oh and their mixed ngreen salad with his rasbery vinaigrette is something you must try. This family owned business is very affordable and gets the job done.
I have to say I'm very happy I hired them. Doug is such a great person after talking to him and telling him about my job and how our school was having a fundraiser for our special ed class. He helped out by donating the use of his pop corn machine and the supplies. We are so much closer to achieving our goal for our amazing children. Thanks Doug we are truly great full. I will definitely use them again and recommend to all my family and friends.
