Hungry for steak? Outback fit the bill. We were actually trying to eat at First Watch, but when we pulled up to the parking lot of First Watch and were overwhelmed by the Sunday brunch crowd, we skipped over next door to the Outback.
We debated on whether it was opened because eons ago, Outback did not serve lunch. We entered and there wasn't a large crowd. We were ushered to a booth immediately. I shared an 8oz Outback Sirloin with my daughter with a Caesar Salad and loaded bake potato with sour cream on the side. My husband got the 10 oz Ribeye.
While we waited, I checked in with Yelp and noticed they had a Dine Rewards. 3 qualifying visits gives you a 4th visit for 50% off up to $20 (Outback, Fleming'ss, Carraba's). We also munched on their delicious loaves and butter.
Marguerite, our server went above and beyond in hospitality. She gave us 2 full servings of Caesar Salad even though we were sharing. My husband was thrilled with his House Salad where they cut their grape tomatoes. We also enjoyed the pepper mill at table.
When our steaks arrived, the baked potato was halved beautifully on two plates beautifully dressed. The sirloin was cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. The ribeye was also medium rare and was nicely marbled. Our server asked cheekily, "Now, would you like sauce to destroy the steak?" I requested for a side of Cabernet sauce and grated horseradish. My husband asked for Heinz 57 sauce. There was no room for dessert. Our bill came out to under $40 before tip. Great value for money! I only wish that I had room for a Blooming Onion.
