What Happened to the food???
Came in on a Saturday night and I ordered a chicken and shrimp pasta. Pasta took over 20 minutes to be served and by that time the pasta was dry. I also ordered a cheesecake and it took close to 15 minutes to get served. I hardly give out bad reviews but It was a bad experience.

A little over 30 years ago I visited the Outback Restaurant in Arlington, my New Years Eve Tradition has been a steak dinner, went to Longhorn last year and would have went to Texas Roadhouse this year, but was dining alone, so decided to do carryout, and try Outback since the menu looked appetizing, Once I got there I was directed to the back where I could place my order, which I did and was told the wait would be 10 minutes, give or take it was. I ordered the Victoria Filet Mignon 8 oz, since online it was described as the most tender and juicy thick cut seasoned and seared, along with the 2 sides of Steakhouse Mac and Cheese and Broccoli. Also got an appetizer of the Sweet BBQ Kookaburra Wings, the total came to 60.46. When I got home, I looked and what first caught my eye was the Victoria Filet, did not come close to what it looked like in the picture, but then again what does, but at least Longhorn's Flo's Filet the picture closer resembles what you get than at Outback and you get a larger portion and it is cheaper. The "meat" itself,(don't want to use the term steak), looked dry and was not tender at all. The sides were okay, but I wouldn't call them fresh, the Steakhouse Mac and Cheese was dry and looked like it had been sitting and reheated the Broccoli was okay. The Appetizer was actually the best part of the meal, the Chicken Wings were easier to chew than the "meat", I really enjoyed them despite I found what looked like a piece of plastic string in the wings.
Also want to note I wasn't giving any dinnerware or napkins, that may have just been an oversite, but considering the meat, it was best to use metal instead of plastic utensils. I think I am going to wait another 30 years before I try them again....not. This review will serve as a reminder.

My husband ordered a center cut sirloin and it came folded over like a taco. Then my mother in law asked for A1 sauce and our waitress said they had already put it up for the night. We came in an hour before closing. Really curious of the A1 protocol for closing.
