    Possibly the worst experience ive ever had at a restaurant, 4-5 tables around us also sent back food. First my tea came out with an inch thick layer of sugar on the bottom that almost made me gag, the the bloomin onion was so burnt it was barely edible, then both mine and my wife’s steaks came out as raw as possible, we sent them back and both came back with the outside burnt and rock hard and the inside cold and still raw. The fact we had to pay $80 for that meal is absurd. The cook in the back needs to be fired.

    I wish I could post a picture of the advertised Bloomin’ Onion vs what was delivered. It’s like thinking you’re getting a nice ranch home and ending up with a trailer by a dumpster.
