Outback Steakhouse

Really bad, been to other outbacks that were good, but this one was poor all around. Bad service, waiter was hard to find even with the blinking call waiter sign on table. Menu items were not what was in picture. Missing chives, missing the sauce for crab cakes. Brought us the wrong drink and took forever to get a refil of my water. If I were outback steakhouse I would be revoking their franchise because they are not doing good by your name. You can see in my pictures of menu and the sauce for the crab cakes it is not the same thing.

We hadn't been to an Outback for a while probably around 6-7 years so we decided to go. We got there around 8:10 pm on a Tuesday. It was not crowded and we were seated very quickly. The Waiter came promptly and took our drink orders. as we talked and waited. 5 min. 10 min. and then some more. By this time there was only us (2) and one other table of 4.. We sat back to back in the Bar area. Finally our drinks arrived. I ordered a Strawberry Lemonade and my friend had a bottled beer.The Waiter then took our order, and brought some bread. I ordered the Surf and Sand which was a small steak and a skewer of broiled shrimp. My friend ordered the Salmon. And we waited. The other table had their dinner so they were fine. We waited some more. I heard someone from the kitchen say "Order" twice but the waiter was not in site. Finally the Bartender brought our food. it was now 9:12pm The shrimp was very tasty and my friend enjoyed the Salmon. My steak was tough though ,so I brought it home. The baked potato was also very good but cold and the bottom had a large rotted black spot . which was not edible So I actually got a 1/2 of a potato. It was not all bad but for the price we paid, I probably wont go back. We don't go out often so when we do it is a treat for us.

Not bad, but not amazing either. Price is fair for what you get, but I was not blown away either. Service was nice, friendly and on point while I dined, so that was a major plus in my book. The food was average though, but tasty and enjoyable. It wasn't anything above and above beyond however, so maybe I came in at the wrong time or perhaps next visit will be better. Only time will tell.

The service was excellent but the food was not so good. I asked for a steak without spices on it but it came with spice anyhow. The potato was barely warm. They offered me free dessert which I declined but did take a fair amount off the bill which I did not request. So service was great, they tried to make it right. I would try there again.
