Had a great evening outing with my family at this Outback location. The Aussie 3-Course Meal was perfect for each of us. Pictured is my grilled shrimp entree with garlic bread and green beans. It was excellent. I also ordered the Blue Cheese Pecan Chopped Side Salad which was nice. To fill the table, we added two more appetizers. The staff were very nice. We had four generations of family at our table, and our server Azzy went out of his way to make sure everyone was take care of.

Had gotten the free veterans meal and my wife came and service was subpar. Waitress seemed like she didn't want to serve us. Maybe a stigma with people getting part of their meal free is that people would tip less, but isn't true for me.
Food came out and steakwas over-seasoned and lack flavor. My wife's had tasted better and she got the same thing. Even the appetizer was a bit much, to be able to appreciate the food and balance everything out. I appreciated the free meal, but sometimes the workers don't appreciate the customers as the workers are working harder for less or the same tips.

Have ordered lunch for the office twice now, as Outback is a staff favorite. Since we want the Bloomin' Onion, we can't use the catering menu. Calling the restaurant directly, the managers I spoke with were A-mazing, and super helpful, making recommendations and ensuring we were well taken care of. Since it's nearby, I've only gotten takeout - you get to pull right up to the restaurant and they meet you at a side door with everything well packaged and clearly labeled. Setting up is a breeze and packing away leftovers is easy, the restaurant provides everything we need - highly recommend!
