    I came in there to celebrate a birthday and had Maci as a server. She was the most polite and helpful server I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back!

    This was a mediocre experience for an Outback Steakhouse. This is honestly one of the worst NY Strip steaks I have had. It was tough, over cooked, and heavily seasoned to cover up the low quality beef that was being served. The shining star was the service which was on top of their game. I do not think I would return to this location.

    Tough steak and it was ordered medi7m. Ranch dressing was way too salty. Service was great.
