    Bloomin onion is amazing! Food is a little pricey but.. there is a friendly staff and a very peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

    Outback is one of those places you go to once every five years. Why anyone would come here for steak over grilling it themselves is beyond me. But I am not one to pass up a free meal when I see one. I've visited this location twice in the past three weeks to accept their free steak promotion.

    Outback is known for a few signature items. I remember the two things I really loved about Outback was their honey wheat loaf and the Walkabout soup. The Bloomin' onion is delicious and artery-clogging at the same time. The Aussie fries is a healthier choice from a caloric point of view, but the sodium can't be good either. But who are we kidding. Nobody comes here to eat healthy.

    The Outback Special (sirloin) was atrociously overcooked and tough. It was the saddest piece of hockey puck meat I've ever seen. The grilled mahi tasted very fishy. The side of baked potatoes tasted awfully old. Everything was just suspiciously off. I felt like one of those customers that tasted the "before" food from a restaurant in Kitchen Nightmares.

    Despite the bad food, the waitresses here are extremely nice and helpful. I'll be back in a few years for some soup and bread.

    I have been going to the outback with my family and extended family for years! Maybe 10 times a year? Special occasions and when they are in town, this is our favorite place to go. Things may be a little pricey, but personally I don't think the quality is that bad! I'm sure this isn't the best, but certainly not the worst. Aussie fries are very yummy and get it almost ever time I go.

    They make mistakes sometimes and in my experience here, they have made the meal free or offer a free dessert after fixing the problem. I just think they need to be more picky about what they send out!

    Salt, salt, and more salt. They don't know anything else! And where do they get their beef? They have the worst cuts in town.

    Just for example; Texas Roadhouse is 10,000% better and much cheaper.

    Have enjoyed outback restaurants before which is why we went here for lunch while we were out. The place was pretty empty so we were seated quickly. The waiter was very nice and at first everything went well. While we were waiting for our food we heard people from the tables on both sides of us sending their steaks back because they were cooked very well done, and they had wanted them rare. When our food arrived I cut into my steak (which i wanted medium rare) and it wasn't even pink at all, it was very well done. My wife had fish and her's was fine and my side's were good but I could have made a better steak on a foreman. I wanted to tell the waiter but after dropping our food off he was no where to be see. Eventually I just ate it becuase I didn;t want to be there another 30 minutes for new food. We ate our entire meal and still no waiter, and therefore no refills on our drinks or anything. then when we were completely done eating the waiter comes over smelling like smoke, so apparently instead of waiting on us he was having a nice long smoke break.
