| - We went early evening on a Saturday and even then there was a 15 minute wait which is fine...tells us the place can't be that bad. Typical Outback decor and was clean and decent. Amanda, our server was fantastic and friendly which kept the third star because the food was just plain mediocre at best. My daughter had the filet and lobster tail. The lobster was overdone and a bit chewy, but since this was her first time with lobster and she didn't seem to care for the taste, I didn't send it back. My wife had the chicken and filet and she liked it but didn't care for the mesquite taste the chicken had. That was not Outback's issue, since it was wood fired LOL! Point is, if you like the wood fired taste then it's definitely there. I had the 10-ounce Rib-eye ordered medium rare. It was served with barely any pink in the middle. In other words, medium to medium well. The manager came by for a visit and I pointed this out and she agreed that this was definitely not medium rare and offered to get me another which was nice, but I chose to keep it and not make the rest of the family wait for me. So, two over-cooked dishes out of three. One of which was a steak. If you bill yourself as a steak house, like Outback does, you should never, ever serve an improper steak. I just don't get that. We had some gift cards which is why we went, but the experience was just so-so at best. There are other places that I would prefer to spend $$ and a weekend evening out.
