My wife and I had the best time! Amazing food and exceptional service. Shout out to our server Tiana for making us feel very welcome; chatting with her felt like talking with a friend. Brandon was a nice gentleman to talk to as well! Phenomenal staff and delicious food.

Went in at 1:45 and was nicely greeted by the host, sat at the bar and one of the servers a few minutes in said our server would be there shortly. Saw many servers walking around, we finally left. A 2 minute greet in service industry is a must and even if you’re behind or say someone will be right with you, grab them a menu so they can look over it and not stare around aimlessly for help. There’s never a bartender behind the bar..the whole purpose of going to the bar. I get lunches are slower but can you get more attentive service or everyone acting as a team to make sure customers are promptly greeted and not an afterthought. The two employees who were prompt and friendly, thank you! Will never come back for lunch bc it’s obviously too slow to have anyone behind the bar and that’s more my speed. Ale house down the street is extremely prompt! We ended up going to bonefish grille and got drinks and apps in within 3 mins of sitting down

Always delicious. I love the Bloomin onion and the steaks are always cooked just as I tell them. You also HAVE to try their baked potato soup. It's the best. I have eaten inside once and I thought the tables were a little close together but it was Valentine's day so maybe they put extra tables out. Curbside Take-A-Way is great. They get your food done and out to you fast.

Very disappointing experience. We arrived 8/8/26 around 12:15 PM on a Saturday, only about an hour after opening, so I expected the restaurant to be ready and attentive.
As soon as we walked in, there was an extremely strong rotten-egg smell near the bar. The hostess seated my family, including our small child, in that area even though there wasn’t a single person seated there. I mentioned how strong the smell was and asked if we could sit somewhere else. She immediately understood and moved us to the other side of the restaurant, where there was no smell at all and roughly 30 people were seated.
Unfortunately, after being moved, we sat for about 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us—not even a simple “we’ll be right with you.” We were ready to spend well over $100, but after being completely ignored, we decided to leave.
The hostess was friendly, but the overall experience was extremely disappointing. This is the second time in four years we've tried this location, and the second time we've walked away disappointed. At 12:15 PM on a Saturday, just an hour after opening, there really shouldn't be an excuse for customers to walk in, be seated, and not even be acknowledged.
Sadly, I won't be returning to this location, even with a gift certificate. Outback has really fallen off.
