    Been years since we've lived near an outback steakhouse. Instead of over 60 miles now it's just over 2. Was very good food. Tried their Assie 3 course meal starting at 14.99. For us very filling, brought back desserts 🍨. Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us just the right amount.

    Veterans Day lunch was great food wise. Server was nowhere to be found, never got our salads and food took forever. Food quality was excellent when we finally got it

    Let me tell you, dear, that if you're Latino, you're not welcome in this place. I sat at the table for 17 minutes waiting for them to bring me at least a glass of water. The waiters walked right past me and acted like I wasn't even there. That was after the nasty look the person who greets you at the door gave me. This is the first time I've felt so discriminated against, and it's the second time this has happened to me at this place. The first time I thought it might be a coincidence and didn't give it much importance, but for the second time, I don't think I'm going to let it slide. In the end, they provide a service that you pay for; it doesn't matter what nationality you are, the food isn't free. One less customer, and a frequent customer at that, because I should mention that it used to be my favorite restaurant. I used to go at least 4 or 5 times a month, and I say "used to" because I don't plan on going back to that hostile environment.
