    Stopped by on a Monday at 4:30 with my family (5 total). We were seated immediately, at a table for 4, then waited for 12 min. No one said hi. No one stopped to ask for a drink order. People who came in after us were greeted immediately by a server. We left. Won’t go back to this location ever again.

    Food was great as per usual, however lately the staff had been rude she stand offish. The last 3 times i went, i ate alone at the bar and STILL received terrible service even as one person. They kind of ignore you. I don't know, maybe i just look like i won't leave a tip, so they don't bother being nice, helpful or attentive

    The food is always great! Mainly writing a review because of the young lady working curbside. It appeared as if it was just "one of those days" be she had a great attitude and never stopped smiling. I hope this makes it back to her.

    URGENT WARNING: DANGER FOR SHELLFISH ALLERGY SUFFERERS - This is not a complaint about service or food quality; this is a critical public health warning about a potential life-threatening experience at Outback Steakhouse. I have a severe shellfish allergy, and I was led to believe my order would be safe. However, I have since learned that this restaurant regularly uses the same fryers and oil to cook both shellfish items and non-shellfish items like the Bloomin' Onion. It is absolutely unacceptable and frankly shocking that a major chain would have such a dangerous practice. The fact that a shared oil could have been the cause of my death—just from ordering a standard appetizer—is appalling. To anyone with a shellfish allergy: BEWARE. Ordering anything fried here, even seemingly safe items, poses a significant, potentially fatal risk. Outback Steakhouse needs to immediately revise its kitchen protocols to ensure separate, dedicated fryers are used for allergens like shellfish. Until this fundamental change is made, I strongly advise those with food allergies to avoid this restaurant.
