Ok, I normally don't review chains. This Outback Steakhouse has caused me to break that cycle....briefly.

Aside from the usual door greeter, which I think I've become numb with, the actual service barside is where the action is. I had the pleasure of meeting two bartenders who really seemed to enjoy their work. They even put a name tag in front of me on the bar, so the wouldn't forget my name. Seems silly, although a nice touch.

I ordered the Clam Chowder (made in house), a Kansas City Strip (medium) with green beans. When the 'chowda' arrived I was just about to get into it when the steak arrived. Figured the cooks were being efficient and was making space when the manager came over and told the server to take the steak back so I could enjoy my soup. Sort of felt bad, though I did appreciate the gesture.

They made a new steak for me and it was very good, I've never had a Kansas City Strip and will add this to my steak rotation. The green beans were crisp, just the way I like them.

I'll be here on business over the next few weeks and definitely plan on coming back.

The one drawback with this place, it really applies to all restaurants in the Missouri, is that they allow smoking inside. No matter where you are, the smoke wil waft over. Sort of surprising to see such a smoker-friendly environment and I don't mean that in a good way.

We recently went here for Father's Day.  We laid down 60 bucks for 3 people which isn't all that bad for a steakhouse, but only one of us got a steak.  I love the bread and the atmosphere here.  If you like the Outback chain, give this one a shot.
