    Went to eat out last night at Outback Steakhouse . Ordered two steaks for me and the wife . Our server was Ben . The steaks were improperly cooked . She ordered med rare and I ordered rare . Both were very rare . My wife did not want to make a problem she ate hers . My steak was sent back and was recooked fine and correct . The manager was nice enough to take my steak off the bill I did not expect that but he did try and make things right . Ben spent more time at the bar talking with bartender and not servicing the tables he was serving . Twice my wife had to go to the bar for refills very poor service .

    Outback is so tasty on so many levels. They serve complete dinners (which I enjoy often), but the burgers are just sooooo good!!!!! I have enjoyed the perfect medium rare burger on a number of occasions. Consistently delicious, perfectly cooked with excellent fries as a side.

    Good steak options, lunch and 3-course dinner deals are reasonably priced. Great dinner and drink service at the bar. I recommend the Rewards Program and AARP members should be sure to ask for 10% off. Great place to eat, watch sports, but noisy. The Newington Outback is better than other Outbacks. Have a Bloomin’ Onion!
