    Not sure what’s happened in the kitchen lately, but my last few takeout orders have been consistently disappointing. The food has progressively gotten worse, no real flavor or seasoning at all. The “seasoned rice” is especially misleading; it’s just bland rice swimming in oil with no seasoning to speak of. Unfortunately, due to the poor quality and lack of flavor, I won’t be returning.

    Great food. Great service. Just don’t sit ANYWHERE near the take out door during the winter. That damn door is constantly opening and closing, and sometimes left opened to the point our children’s jaws are chattering. BRING YOUR COATS!!

    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service provided at the Outback Edgewater on the evening of December 16th at 8:00 PM. We were seated for five individuals, including two children. We placed our orders, and after an hour, our meal did not arrive. I politely requested to speak with the manager, who emerged from the kitchen and engaged in an unprofessional and rude exchange with me, asserting that the entire restaurant was experiencing similar delays. Subsequently, she inquired whether I desired the meal. This incident is not an isolated occurrence at this Outback unit. The manager’s inability to resolve issues and confront paying customers is a recurring problem. As a long-standing Outback customer for two decades, I have encountered only a few instances of such subpar service and experience. In those instances, we opted to leave the restaurant without our meals. Regrettably, this is the second time in less than two months that my food has taken over an hour to arrive at this restaurant. The previous instance occurred even after I had lost my appetite, as the appetizer and salad were served before I had requested the main course. Unfortunately, I am unable to return to this restaurant in the future.
