Our anniversary dinner was terrific. We have never eaten at an Outback before and we are very impressed. Compared to say Apple Bees etc, these guys are prompt, we're talking not helicopter, but very attentive service. The food was phenomenal, and we weren't sure exactly what the meat quality was going to be per cut, but it was very good quality for what you pay for. Their sides were great too, seasoned rice and sweet potato was delicious. Ribs and sirloin together? I've never seen that. You have a double protein combo with sides. That was a very hearty meal. We were also impressed with their Ceasar salad, which was not like lettuce with some ranch on it. This actually deserved the name. Its not like a 5 star restaurant kind where they make it at the table, but its definitely more authentic than some store bought brand. We wanna try the Bloomin Onion and 4 Cheese Dip next time. We will be back for seconds!

Made a reservation and when arrived the young check in lady was rude whispering and laughing right in our face and told us to take a green seat which I never been there and didn’t know what that meant so we seated ourselves at the bar while looking confused while be feeling obligated to order a drink while waiting I seen several others leave while we continued to be seated at the bar waiting, now I’m stuck waiting for a order watching ever one get a seat while we wait while cringed shoulders to shoulder
