| - Never again, I mean NEVER again. The only reason this place received one star is because of the manager and waitress. They tried their best to be congenial and were both very pleasant.
Outback needs to know not everyone is a steak idiot. Every time I go there I am sorely disappointed and tonight was no exception. I keep going back hoping it will be different that I will be wowed, instead I am irritated. I'm a glutton for punishment ... no more.
I knew I was going to Outback for dinner and anticipated the Victoria's Filet Mignon all day. I ordered it medium are. I was hopeful, I mean, the salad was good. No bread was served. why is that? Why do they not have bread?
Anyhow, the steak arrived and I and my dinner partner had to question if it was a filet Mignon, it wasn't even a half inch thick, and when I cut it to check for tenderness, it was like shoe leather. No Filet that I know needs that much work to cut. The waitress responded, "It's six ounces that's why it's small."
I have never seen a filet that thin it was less than a half an inch. As you can see by my picture, I had to really tear it apart to cut it. Anyone who knows steaks knows it isn't a filet mignon. It was a filet, but I believe they ran out and the cook just cut the filet from the porterhouse.
Anyhow, I took a bite. ONE bite it was so spicy, I couldn't eat it. The delay heat. You know the kind, "Good. Good." then ..." WTH?" mouth on fire I wanted to scream. My lips burned. There was so much pepper, it was so hot they could have burned out a virus with it.
When I complained, I was told it was the seasoning and did I want another steak with no seasoning. Now, why would I do that?
"How about half seasoning?"
Why should I come to a steakhouse and not have a seasoned steak? Nowhere on the menu does it say, "Hey, this steak is doused with pepper."
I have been at outback, and my chief complaint is they never know how to cook a steak medium rare. I have never had the seasoning so hot I couldn't eat it.
The woman in the booth behind me ... didn't eat hers, she told the manager it was too spicy.
A pathetic over a peppered piece of meat passed off as a filet mignon.
They comped my meal, of course, they did, I didn't eat it. I left Outback dissatisfied and hungry.
It never does any good to reach out to Outback, they don't get back to you .. AT ALL.
I have in the past actually reached out to compliment the wait staff .. I never heard a word.
Hey Outback, if you're gonna call yourself a steak house, learn how to cook a steak and for goodness sake, serve a filet mignon when one is ordered, not a tough piece of meat that you try to pass off as a filet mignon.
