Outback Steakhouse

It was my wife's 40th birthday and we decided Outback for lunch sounded good. We got there right about noon when they opened , we were greeted and seated quickly. I was surprised how many people were already in there . Our waitress had a lot of tables in my opinion and was just on the edge of too many but I think she handled it well as our meal came out just right in my opinion. We got our drinks and blooming onion quickly which was done perfect. Then our salads, my wife had a garden and I had a Ceasar . We enjoyed them mine was a bit heavy on the dressing but im sure most people prefer it that way. Then our NY strips and baked potatoes came . I had zero expectations for what this steak was gonna be like with food prices the way the are right now but it was surprisingly good and not over cooked. Only thing is really complain about was out Diet sodas did not taste good had a bleachy taste . So all in all a good experience but fairly expensive for 2 people at 90 dollars and we tipped 20 so 110 all in . I guess for us and our income level this will have to be for special occasions only lol ! I would definitely go back.

If you're looking for a great piece of grilled salmon..look no further. It was huge and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of char. The fillet was so moist and it just melted in the mouth. I paired it with a sweet potato that was also very large and delicious. Don't mess with the baked potato. Definitely get their dinner salad. It's a meal in itself and loaded with veggies and shredded cheese. The staff was friendly and kept that warm bread and whipped butter coming.

The quality of their steak has really declined. While the steak I had was cooked exactly as I asked for it, the quality of the cut was so poor, I left most of it on the plate. The bill was far too high for such low standards on the food. Salad was watery and of a consistency of old produce. The potato was fine. Staff was really nice a always, but I can't go here anymore. The food sucks, though they charge the price that a good, edible restaurant does.
