    I was there a few Sundays ago with my daughters and my grandson. We were seated fairly quickly but we were seated next to a big party (they had 12+adults and that wasn’t counting children). Everything was going great until this party began to wrap things up. There were numerous bill questions and then the food complaints came. The manager came out once and our waiter had to field ALL these complaints by himself. After we ate our meal it took me 45 minutes to get my check. I waited patiently because this young man was going through it and no one was helping. They complained about everything, even having to pay the gratuity because of their policy. They even complained about a person who left in their party that didn’t get their salad. I knew they took off some of the gratuity, which was unfair to this gentleman. I gave him double because of what this party put this gentleman through. He apologized profusely to me but I told him that it wasn’t his fault. Outback needs to help their people who have big parties especially if they are fielding complaints because he left us to take care of them.

    The curbside service was atrocious. We asked the server for another bread, it was as if someone asked her to clean the latrine. We generally checked over the bags’ contents to ensure the food was correct, but found when we returned to our hotel room, the order was missing several items. Eating in the restaurant may be fine, but buyer beware of to-go.

    Requita was fabulous. Best service we've had anywhere lately. Steaks were perfect 👌 Even the host was great. Did not get his name. It was veterans day and hubs chose it for dinner. They were extremely busy. The experience we had didn't reflect the hustle going on. They made it personal and we will definitely be going back!

    No rules, just right. Outback is exactly as you remember it 20 years ago, just with fewer people. No wait on this random Monday night. Seated promptly. Drinks and apps en route. While you wait, you receive the bread course! It’s the old standby. The rock…, a.k.a. pumpernickel loaf, it comes out. Served with Creamy butter, - hot, slightly sweet bread- what’s not to love?!❤️. Pumpernickel translates to the Devils fart…really. Who knew devils fart 💨 bread could be so good!! Then here comes the bloomin’ onion. It’s huge! It’s crispy, salty, spicy and fried onion blossom perfection. Served with a tangy, spicy sauce. The calories, listed on the menu, is 2/3 of what you need in a day! Of course, you can share it. The steaks are stellar. The filet is tender. It was cooked a little less than ordered. It came out more rare than medium, but was seasoned and flavorful and the outer edges had a good crust/sear. The Caesar was a thick, plastic bottle type dressing. The greens were ice cold. The croutons, dry as the Sarah and crispy. The baked potatoes are amazing. Salty, creamy, puffy, loaded with bacon pieces, sour cream, butter, cheese and chives. The potatoes are legit. Service was excellent. Friendly and attentive but not too much. No complaints on food quality or service. Outback is the same as it was in the 1990s and that can be comforting…their hot new menu item was Mozzarella cheese sticks in the shape of a boomerang! 🪃 Welcome to the 2000s!!

    My son's father took us out to celebrate our son's 33rd birthday. My steak, as well as his father's, was great. But our son's steak,which was supposed to be medium rare, was nearly well done and had that bitter burnt taste. Not only that he received a lobster instead of grilled shrimp. The only thing right on his order was the baked potato, and the mashed potatoes for his baby daughter. He couldn't eat the steak. Unfortunately, he's the type that doesn't like a fuss and wouldn't send it back. I had nearly 3/4 of my my steak left and put it in his to go box and took his. After eating a couple bites later .... I gave it to the dog. She enjoyed it. That's the 2nd time we've had a bad meal there. The last time the asparagus was so salty that that was all you tasted. This will be the last time we eat there. You would think that for $178 you would get an exceptional meal. I can make make a better steak at home in my cast iron skillet and I have!
