    Great job making the Huckleberry Houch even though it was no longer on menu. That is going above and beyond. Great customer service.

    First time ever trying Outback Steakhouse. Our server, Anna, was friendly, quick, and professional.

    Overall i had a really good experience at this restaurant.. It was begining to pick up when i walked in . It took about 10 mins for me to be seated and another 7 mins for the waiter to ask me what i would like. Once i placed my order the food was brought to the table by 3 different servers very promptly. I was surprised at how quickly the courses were brought out. I barely finished my appetizer before the main course arrived. I ordered the potato soup, shrimp on the barbie with sweet potato, and cheesecake for dessert. The bread that they bring out before the meal was warm and soft and the butter just melted on it nicely. Really good, reminds me of the bread offered over at the cheescake factory. The shrimp was very well seasoned and cooked just right. I enjoyed it very much. The sweet potato came with brown sugar and butter on it and really ignited my tastebuds. The cheescake was a decent slice and complimented the meal nicely. Only thing that wasnt up to par was the watered down bottomless lemonade that they offer. Other than that everything was good.

    This blooming onion is Always good. After eating the warm soft bread we had the blooming onion and a salad we were both full. We both took our dinners home. The waitress helped a great deal. Although they said a 20 min wait it was less than 10 minutes.

    Not sure the servers name he was the bartender I think his name is Dan. My wife and I came. I can’t tell you the experience we had with him, guiding us through the menu very knowledgeable. The bar was very clean. I didn’t notice how attentive this gentleman was so if the manager or owner of the establishment sees this, I wanted to let you know after surveying the restaurant with my 800,000 on my content. Dan is an asset to your establishment. If there’s anything you do that you wanna help out then I would give the guy a gold star. …
