I ordered a carry out. The food was good but I bet it would have been a lot better if the warm dishes that I ordered were warm or even hot for that matter. I ordered two blue cheese pecan chopped salads. They were amazing! I also ordered three orders of Alice Springs quesadillas, one without bacon. I would have appreciated it if the one with no bacon was marked. Instead I had to pick through the three to find it. In my order was also a bowl of soup that was lukewarm. Nothing like a bowl of lukewarm soup... yes, that was sarcastic 🙄

The food was outstanding. I had taken my mom out for valentine's day. It's hard to find a bartender that knows how to make a long Island ice tea. This bartender was excellent.

I spent a lot of money for a ribeye steak dinner. Chilli was cold, the onion petals (I got as a side) were old. They were not fresh cooked at all. The steak was cooked correctly but really didn't have a lot of flavor. This was a very different experience in food quality than I've ever received at an Outback before and it may be an isolated incident. I will say it was at the end of the night which could easily explain the cold chili and old onion pedals. Still, I feel like was a total waste of money, I spent over $40 for this meal. I would have called the store the following day but was at hospital with a family member so this wasn't a priority.
