  Our waiter was awesome. Younger guy with dark hair and some facial hair, Liam I believe. He said he was fairly new and was extremely personable and attentive. The blooming onion was extremely greasy (pictured). I know it is deep fried, been going to Outback since they opened in Tampa in 1988, but it was excessively so. We barely ate any and it was taken off our bill. We all ordered steak and all three baked potato toppings wrong. Liam had them correct on his order tablet so not his fault. When food runner brought out our meals, one of my daughters and I had our plates set in front of us. My other daughter was furthest away from the gal who brought the plates and handed the third plate to her and it was VERY hot! She had to practically drop it onto the table as it was burning her hands. We all ordered our steaks medium (warm pink center) and two came out borderline medium/medium rare but we were okay with that. The other steak was very much medium rare borderline rare and bloody. Since we have been eating at Outback Steakhouse’s many times, in several states, in the 37 years they have been around we have seen the evolution of the restaurant. There have been a lot of family gatherings and celebrations over the years so it remains in the lineup to occasionally visit, but more and more there is disappointment in the food. My house salad was easily half very hard white lettuce pieces that are not ideally the edible part of the lettuce head with a very large hard core included (pictured). The biggest issue by far is that for a steakhouse they invariably, on every single visit, get at least one steak’s doneness wrong. When it’s in your name and it the primary thing on your menu you should get it right. The manager, Justin, who came over and took my daughter’s very rare steak to cook it longer had a lukewarm attitude at best. With tip our bill totaled over $100 for the three of us. The best part of the experience was Liam. He is an asset to the Forney location.

  The portion sizes are terrible for the price. Ordered the 6 and 8 once Filet and Toowoomba shrimp to go and there was maybe a tablespoon of that with and it looked NOTHING like the picture. I also didn't notice much difference between the 6 and 8 ounce filets but one is definitely more expensive. I was told by the takeout person that they give 1 loaf of bread for every 5 entrees, which sounded very odd but she ended up adding another loaf as I told her that the order was for 2 people and one ended up being stale and hard which seemed almost intentional. Overall I am disappointed as the amount paid doesn't reflect the food quality and portion size.

  My grandmother came here sometime in the last week and has just told me what an amazing experience she had. As a restaurant manager myself, her review of this restaurant was outstanding, from the greet at the door, to the excellent service from the new server on his first day. Thanks guys for taking such good care of my Nonnie. Much love from Colorado 🤙🏼
