| - Just don't do it.
I'm giving Outback 2 stars because the service was great. Our server was enthusiastic and friendly, answered any questions we had.
But the food? The prices? I don't understand how anyone can eat here wit these prices. Luckily, we only ate there because my mom had gotten a $50 gift certificate, but I regret having ingested the food at all, free as it was.
For an appetizer, we got the famous Blooming Onion. It was SO salty. I've never had anything like it. The sauce is good, but my God, the next day I felt hungover from having eaten this mash of fried onions, breading, and salt.
I ordered the fried shrimp and fries. The shrimp and fries were just like anything you can get at any diner or even Dairy Queen for around $6, except Outback Steakhouse shrimp and fries cost around $16.00. The fries were very clearly frozen fries. The shrimp probably was too (it was't that good), so how on Earth can they justify charging more than 5 or 6 bucks? Madness.
My parents both order hamburgers (medium rare) with frozen fries.
Just like the shrimp and fries, their burgers were exorbitantly overpriced. Except, the quality was way worst than what you would find at your average diner. The patty was relatively small, way overcooked, and flavorless. I'm not sure if the buns were stale, or Outback just uses really low-quality bread for their buns.
My wife fared better than the rest of us. She just ordered some asparagus and a baked potato. Surprisingly, they didn't screw up the baked potato (although the skin was insanely salty, as expected).
So yeah, the food is bad, and way overpriced. Just don't do it.
There are so many great restaurants in the area that serve quality food at half the price.
Don't give Outback your hard earned money for sub par food.
You deserve better.
