I normally do not review big chains such as Outback but they did an exceptional job on Sunday.
We wanted sushi but every sushi spot was either closed or didn't open until 5. We just wanted a light meal since we had purchased steaks to grill in the evening. Low and behold we end up at Outback's bar for apps. I ordered a side salad and we split the cheese fries. The fries were pretty killer. They were layered with ooey gooey cheese and perfectly cooked bacon.
What really sets outback apart is the service. Adam our bartender was fabulous! When we mentioned we were on the hunt for sushi he brought out a complimentary sampling of their seared tuna rare and it was shockingly delicious ( I may have to get that on a salad next time). Adam made the visit great, he asked us questions, shook our hands, and did a great job with recommendations (i.e order your cheese fries layered...you will never encounter a spare fry sans cheese). I must say overall he was one of the best bartenders I've had in Charlotte and he deserves to be recognized!
