3 reviews for Outback Steakhouse
I've been to this particular Outback twice since I moved down here. Both times I had a really good experience. The first time I'd been there, I had walked in with Gail and Dianne - I think we had just finished watching some gawd-awful movie in the theater and needed to compensate by stuffing our faces. After arguing in the car for a good twenty minutes about where we ought to eat, I suggested Outback - which was met with a series of agreements - one of them being an enthusiastic pounding of the dashboard. So in we walked - and Dave, who for whatever reason introduced himself as Justin "as in - Just In Time" (haha, clever.) was our waiter.
He was this eager, overexcited, enthusiastic, buoyant ... THING. I have no words. He was bouncing from here to there, shaking our hands ferociously, singing, -- he even proposed to Dianne while holding our appetizer in one hand (didn't see THAT coming). All in all, he made sure our experience while we waited for the food to arrive was entertaining at least. Well, for me. While the other two panted and swooned over him, I rather impatiently looked up and down the aisles, waiting to see if our food was coming.
The wait took a bit, but when it got there - oh God. I dove into that like a starving pig in Timbuktoo. Err ... or something.
I don't remember what I ordered - but I vaguely remember being stuffed to the point where I wanted to cry from the food coma that I knew was inevitably going to come (and yet looking forward to it!). It was delicious, and to top that off - Dianne was so besotted by dear Dave aka Just In Time, that she wrote her cell phone number on the back of a napkin and discreetly slid it into the receipt holder.
Did he ever call? Let's just say ... Just In Time was the wrong name for him.
Cheese Fries!!! Damn I do love those fries. This place really is pricey for what it is but the food generally doesn't let me down too much. The service here was pretty standard and you know what to expect. Go for the drover's platter, but avoid the dinosaur snot- 15 minutes of bad luck if you eat it.
Standard Outback. I hate that they have a smoking section, but I guess that's just the way it is. Food was pretty good and the staff was nice. It's pretty expensive for what it is. I'd rather cook the steaks myself. I am a sucker for that damn bloomin onion though.
