We went here last night for my mothers birthday. We went at 5 and were seated right away. As it was in Surprise, I was shocked that we were seated so promptly because it was prime dining time. They also were able to set up for the 2 kids, so that was nice. Everything seemed to start out fine. The service was good and our server was pleasant and able to get the food to the kiddos fast.
I just wish the food was better. This was one of the worst meals I have had in a long time. First off, my mom and I ordered margaritas. We should have just ordered lime juice. There was no alcohol in it. My mom even ordered a double and could not taste it. Since I had the baby, I rarely drink and am a cheap date after 1 drink. Even after ordering 2 margaritas, I felt no buzz. It was sad for my one night with cocktails in a long time.
My husband and my mom both ordered steak and lobster. The lobster was so chewy and tasteless. The meat was grizzly and had no flavor or the promised rub. I had mahi mahi and it was so rubbery and flavorless. The toppings on it added nothing.
It was so disappointing. We have not been to an outback in many years. I am not sure if the quality has gone downhill in the overall chain or just this location but I will not be back for such mediocre food.
