I stopped here for veterans day and had a meal with my family. We had the Blooming Onion 🧅 and a mix of steak and chicken meals with sweet potatoes and broccoli. All steaks were cooked to order, we have medium, medium rare eaters that will send them back if over cooked. All steaks were perfect. The Polaris restaurant is very open and charming, great place for a meal.

Food was good but the one thing that stood out was the server, she was very attentive and looked after us very well. The best service I have had for a long time!

Server was great. Restaurant was great, but the food was nearly inedible due to too much salt. High blood pressure folks, beware.

Bring back the 11oz Center-cut sirloin! Used to come here 3 times a month and now I have to say I will be going to Texas roadhouse over this place. Only reason i would come here again is for the mac & cheese!

Service was great. Waitress was very nice and did a great job. Food was meh and not as good as Longhorn. Won't go back to an outback if I can help it ever again. Marginal food marginal not so great steak quality and the bread tastes like brown cardboard. The water even with a lemon in it tasted like a cross between pond water and pool water.
