    Are servers were very helpful. I swear we needed every condiment known to man, and they were very attentive in retrieving them for us. I felt bad but they stayed cheery. Nice people. Our bloomin onion was way greasier that I ever thought possible and I really didn't enjoy in to matter what I dipped it in. My chicken shrimp alfredo was delicious. Prices are getting out of hand.

    I was very disappointed in my dining experience at Outback in Oak Ridge earlier today. The food was ok but the service was not acceptable. The dining area was not busy at 11:30 but for some reason service was scarce. After dessert was delivered, our table was not cleared of plates to make way for dessert, drinks were not offered to be refilled, we waited for the check for a bit and after paying a detailed receipt was not brought with the credit card receipt. I hope this lackluster experience is not the standard.

    So good! Had a great waitress. Fast, friendly and the steak and lobster were both very good and cooked perfectly.

    Not only did I get Ahi Tuna Togo, but I also got a hot cookie with ice cream. My order was ready sooner than estimated, but OUTBACK communicated throughout the process so I was there on time and all of my hot food stayed hot and frozen food stayed frozen. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience at Outback in Oak Ridge. My meal was excellent!
