    Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. Was surprised to see that they were quite busy at that time. Looked like there was only one server and a manager on duty. Despite not having much staff up front and them being busy, we received wonderful service by Kim. She communicated very well and apologized for the small wait we had, even though we really didn’t wait at all! We were greeted and sat right away, received our drink and food in a timely manner! Steak was cooked perfectly! Will be back, thanks Kim!

    I haven’t visited an outback in years!! We will be back soon. Service was amazing from the very second we walked in and were greeted. Food was fantastic!! Drinks were great and we loved the cute souvenir shot glasses that we got to take home. We even took a $10 meal to go!

    Honestly very pleasantly surprised! My husband got a gift card for his birthday and neither of had been before. Our server, Kim, was really great. We typically will go to more upscale steak houses but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. My husband and I both got filets, we got the app trio, each a salad and a potato and then the brownie for dessert. Would definitely come back!
