Our first experience was so great! Will be back! We walked in and two great hosts greeted us and immediately sat us down around 5pm. Our servers name was Rico, he was probably the best server we’ve had while out at a restaurant, super friendly and helpful with anything we needed, SUPER accommodating. Food was 8.5 super fulfilling for the price! Normally I get anxious with a busy restaurant but they ambiance wasn’t overwhelming or overstimulating! Pretty nice for a date night out, and delicious steak!

Me and my family went to Outback today for the first time, and I gotta say, the food and atmosphere were just outstanding. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the service was top-notch. I ordered a meal to go, and this sweet young lady named April helped us out. She was real friendly, patient, and just a pleasure to deal with. We asked for a few extra sauces and utensils, and she made sure we had everything we needed with a big ol’ smile. April is a wonderful worker and a great contribute to this location. I will be coming back!
