I just recently went here to eat with my mother for Veterans Day. One would think that they would be properly staffed for a holiday like this. When we walked up to put our name in there was quite a few people up front waiting to be seated. There was absolutely no parking so I knew it was going to be busy. I had to park across the street which is fine. When I got inside I noticed that there were quite a few tables open. I went to the restroom and counted all the tables and there were 18 tables available. We waited for 40 minutes to be seated in a restaurant that had that many tables available. Come to find out they weren't properly staffed and that's why everybody was waiting. The manager was very rude to us especially when I told her I didn't want to be seated in the corner and that I wanted a table. She had the worst attitude. When I told her she wasn't going to talk to me the way she did she started backing up and apologizing. At this point I was over it. We had been waiting for quite some time and we were both hungry. Once we were seated our server was horrible. We had our drinks refilled one time and it wasn't by her. The manager never came over to apologize for talking to me the way she did. I never eat here and now I know why. The food was great and the people in the kitchen cooked it to perfection. The service and the attitude of the manager made me never want to go back there again.

We had a great lunch at Outback Steakhouse this past Saturday around noon. There were three of us in our party, and we started with the three cheese spinach dip appetizer — it was hot, creamy, and full of flavor. All of our meals were cooked perfectly, and each of us agreed we’d gladly order the same dishes again.
The restaurant was clean — plates, silverware, and glasses were spotless — and the atmosphere was very comfortable. The noise level was low enough that we could easily enjoy a private conversation at our table without having to raise our voices.
Our server, Mr Vasilios I believe was excellent — friendly, attentive, and checked on us just the right amount without ever being intrusive. Prices were reasonable and in line with other casual dining restaurants offering the same level of service and quality.
I also appreciated the convenience of being able to order and pay right from the table device — a nice modern touch that made checkout quick and secure without needing to hand over my credit card.
Overall, a very enjoyable lunch experience. We’ll definitely be back.

We met two of our Octogenarin friends for lunch there. They loved the food and the price. My wife and I: Meh.
Salads (House and Wedge): Good. Grilled chicken: Tiny, thin, and meh.
Service was good, but the restaurant was mostly empty.
Bathroom was clean.

Excellent food, well prepared and arrived via DoorDash well sealed, and hot! The shrimp and steak were cooked to perfection. Secret tip for travelers by the gallon of tea. If you have a refrigerator in your room their tea is excellent and only $6.99 a gallon. It is an excellent deal. The only thing missing from the entire order was the toppings for my baked potato, but there was butter in the bag for the bread so I just used it instead. utensils were included. I’ve ordered from outback several times while traveling in different areas and it is consistently good.
