Outback Steakhouse
Reviews
Been to this place a total of about 4 times in the past 5 years. The first three were decent... nothing to really complain about . We were there last Saturday (which happened to be Valentines Day.) They sat us at a really tiny table (which is fine) but it was super wobbly, we personally put a stack of 5 coasters under the leg just to keep it from shaking every time we moved. I noticed other tables had the same thing going on. A few other turn offs.. We asked our server for more butter for the bread and she forgot. Then when she brought another loaf (upon our request because we were starving) she forgot ONCE again for extra butter. My husband asked for more butter with his potato and again, she forgot. We also had to ask for silverware (we heard the couple next to us complain and make jokes about the same things we were annoyed by.) Another turn off... the music. It couldn't be any more inappropriate. Not only was it not the kind of music adults would like to hear while having a nice quiet dinner, the fact that it was Valentines Day did not set the mood much (some kind of party pop mix.) I'm not sure what the staff was doing in the back, but we kept feeling a burst of cold air every few minutes.. that went on for the last 20 minutes of our meal (had to put my winter coat on.) When we finally left we saw some employees carrying dining tables outside, not sure what was up with that but i think it had something to do with the cold bursts of air throughout the dining room (it was zero degrees out the night we were there.) Our server was nice but not on top of her game. Overall the whole restaurant was a mess. There was food and other debris all over the floor, the bathroom garbage had paper towels overflowing and they were all over the floor. It was very unkempt. In the past we typically had a manager walk by and ask us how things were, that never happened on our last visit. I feel this place has gone WAY downhill. For what they charge you could easily go down a little further to Red Lobster and get a MUCH better (and bigger) meal with more variety and better service for the same price.
When the server walked up I heard her say "oh here we go" with this nasty tone in her voice. I am sorry but that is really rude. We also had to ask several times for things that we needed, like silverware. The steaks were not cooked to how we ordered them either.
Average portion size for the price. $4 all day happy hour. Went with the prime rib sandwich which was good but found a nice long hair under the fries after eating most of my meal. Made me want to throw it back up. Hopefully it wasn't there on purpose though bunch of high school kids work there so you never know...I guess I'll prepare my own steaks for now on.
Never had anything but a positive expirence here. The food is great, and the service has also been excellent. We don't go out often, but when we do, we go here.
Awesome service and great unlimited shrimp service fast
