Prime rib is a lie don't waste your money. Drinks took 20 min to get to the table. Tuna was old. Only thing decent was the Mac and cheese. Even the coconut shrimp came out half mushy. We won't be coming back

Upon arrival around 3 pm on Saturday Nov 15, the place was rather quiet – a sprinkling of customers. We like this time at restaurants – before they get too busy. I ordered a ginger ale with no ice (my usual) and hubby ordered a coca-cola (his usual). Both tasted as expected. For the appetizer, we got the Ultimate Trio with boomerang-shaped mozzarella sticks, bloomin’ onion petals, and loaded fries – MMMMMM, GREAT!!! That was a most-scrumptious, delicious appetizer! And of course, the dark-brown bread with butter that they serve – always delicious!! Next were our entrees…as part of mine, I ordered a wedge salad. This was my first time getting a wedge salad and it was absolutely delectable!!! I LOVE blue cheese dressing, and it’s also drizzled with a balsamic glaze dressing. The grape tomatoes, bacon bits, etc., also added to this flavorful wedge salad!!! The only thing I can think of that would make it better is to add more bacon bits and/or offer chunk/shredded chicken or crumbled beef or shredded steak to this wedge salad!!! The salad is served with a steak knife in the middle – needed for cutting the lettuce, of course. On to my main dish – Toowoomba Salmon!! I can’t express enough how audaciously delicious this salmon, shrimp, and creamy sauce was! Keep in mind that I try salmon at a large variety of restaurants. So out of like 20 places, this salmon is tied for #1 with Glory Days!! Soooo juicy, NOT overcooked, and seasoned well (not overcooked or over seasoned)!!! I would order this meal again and again!! Note that I forgot to take a picture of this when it came to the table, so the only pictures are from the takeaway container – shrimp on top and salmon on bottom. The 3rd item that was part of my meal was steakhouse mac and cheese. Being honest according to our tastebuds, this didn’t taste as creamy, cheesy, and delicious as we remember from around 2004 (we used to live near an Outback and ordered takeout like once a month). We don’t know whether the recipe is different or whether there’s just a difference between the Outback in Lorton, VA, versus Charlottesville, VA – all we know is what we got this time was definitely different from what we used to get in Lorton. To get back on the positive track, my husband ordered 2 grilled lobster tails and he said they were really, really good!! In the past, he got steamed lobster tails, but he said these grilled ones were WAAAAAAY BETTER!! His sides were the mac and cheese plus mashed potatoes. Above is his opinion on the mac and cheese, and he said the mashed potatoes were good – nothing spectacular, but was like a 3.5 out of 5. Overall, of course, we’d go back to eat again! Just wouldn’t order the mac and cheese. Everything else – would order again!!!
