Alfredo is an amazing manager. He stopped by and made me feel right at home. Brandon was my bartender/waitor. He did an awesome job taking care of my food. It came SO fast. Felicia Stopped by multiple times to make sure the food tasted right. I can't wait to come back here again.

I ordered a kids meal with steak, I specifically asked for medium rare so that there wouldn't be a drop of blood, the first bite was great, when I came to cut the second piece, blood came out on the plate and it was terrible, we asked for bread, which was late to arrive, the bill was given a long time later, it also took a while for the credit cards to be returned, I must say that we did not pay for my steak dinner, the restaurant did me justice, it's a bit unpleasant to come to a restaurant and not get what you ask for, my aunt also had blue cheese on her salad especially when she specified not to put blue cheese. Overall it was tasty just not quite what we asked for

I was looking all over town for a perfect medium rare steak which my close friend Gavin suggested I try the Outback steakhouse. We sat at the cozy bar and was served without hesitation and after a decent wait I was delighted to cut in to see this beautiful steak cooked to perfection and seasoned as to not detract from the meat and char The manager and staff were friendly and polite and the apnousphere was spot on.

It was absolutely amazing we had our first ever date here 6 years ago so we were in the neighborhood and stopped in and it was truly so amazing! Natalia was our server and if I could give her 10 stars I would. She was mindful and just very professional. She couldn’t have improved anything! She’s definitely a keeper! But in honesty the entire staff was absolutely pleasant! From the host Andrew to the manager Kelly!

Went to the take out door. Waited over 4 minutes and finally went to the bar and he said he would get the girl. A guy came out from the kitchen and took the order. Said to have a seat while they prepare the food. Waited Over 30 minutes when a girl walked by and said "did you place an order? " said yes and she said what's the name. Gave our name and she said "oh" . Went in kitchen and came right back out with our food. "Here you go" she said. I asked did it just get done or has it been sitting in there? She hesitated and then said it had been there a while but didn't know an order was placed. WHAT? DIDN'T KNOW! I asked do you have anything else to say and she said "sorry" . If it wasn't for my 93 year old mom who was standing next to me hungry I would have told her to give us our money back. Instead we took the food and of course it was cold. Cooks did a good job but the front of the house staff is terrible here. I would go some place else. Can't believe she didn't offer us a discount or some compensation for waiting and giving us cold food...this must be a regular thing there and that's why it didn't phase her. I hope my 5,000,000 view fans see this and heed the warning. Shame on you Outback.

We had a great time! No wait and the host and waitress were great! Food and drinks were delicious and fun. The only complaint is that there's no happy hour at this location.
