There are some things we normally love about Outback. We've been to quite a few Outbacks and there are some things we normally love about them. Usually we visit for dinner and usually we order the ribeye.
We visited this Outback during lunch. There were three of us. We put in our appetizer order for the onion ring petals. It was just an appetizer but we had a long wait for that appetizer. Eventually a comment was made to the hostess that we were concerned since it'd already been a long wait that we'd be getting our lunch on top of the appetizer. We didn't. Eventually, the onion petals arrived.
The potato soup served at our table was delicious. It was ordered by two in our party. One was a bowl and one was a cup. Besides that two of us ordered the 1/2 ribeye melt. We had expected au jus with it I think because we thought it was a french dip type sandwich. It wasn't but the waiter brought us au jus anyway. The au jus was very watered down and very cool -- not good with little flavor. The sandwich was tough and just not that good either.
Timing turned out okay. Waiter was also okay but when he brought the ticket he tried to spark a conversation with us while we were involved in our own conversation. First it was about our plans for the day and then our plans for Easter. I thought he'd never leave to go back to the kitchen. That was awkward and we didn't like it. It just didn't sit right. We noticed on our bill that he had deducted the onion petals. We still weren't thrilled with this Outback and doubt we would return here.
