The food was good, especially the blooming onion and coconut shrimp. We were seated right away and didn't wait long for our food to come out. Our waitress was fantastic. Overall, it was a great experience.

The 18 oz. Bone-In Ribeye—strong with the Force. Perfectly seared, tender, and flavorful, it yielded to my blade with ease. The side salad, crisp and balanced, brought harmony to the meal, while the baked potato, fluffy and rich, proved a worthy ally. Service? Swift and attentive, like a Jedi in battle. Final verdict? A feast worthy of a Jedi Master. Return, I shall.

The food was good. The email for outback mentioned one price but at the restaurant the price was $2 more not a big deal but would of been nice to match what was advertised. They forgot my allergy but did take it back made sure it was fixed. Did kinda stink tho I had to wait for my food but my hubby was able to finish his food before mine arrived. Of course I didn't want him 5o wait for mine to arrive again and let his food get cold. The food was great and the potato soup is one of the best.

I must say that the service was great- the staff was friendly and always checking on us. The food was average. The blooming onion was too oily.

We stopped in for lunch today (Sunday afternoon around 2pm). It was not super busy but not empty either, maybe about 1/3 full. Every single person we encountered — the gentleman holding the door, the host, the server, and the two people who delivered our drinks and food to the table — were exceptionally solicitous, friendly, and polite. At least 5 separate people checked on us in the short time we were there. Our food came out quickly and our drinks were refreshed before they were empty. The food was average but the service was *exceptional*.

We had lunch here today and were met with the most bubbly, friendly and absolutely delightful waitress! She told me she’d “be taking of us today!” And she did. Danielle, made honest recommendations and was really enjoyable to talk to. Sitting here eating our food, I witnessed her continued kindness to each and everyone of her tables. I wish more people were as cheerful her.
