| - Goodness what a long dinner and not in a good way. My boyfriend and I went to dinner here because we had some gift cards from the holidays. We got seated in a booth which I was happy about and the waitress came pretty quickly to take our order so I though things were going to be super easy peasy for dinner.
They had a valentine's day special going on, which included the blooming onion, 2 entrees, 2 sides each, 2 side salads, and cheesecake for dessert for $42. We decided that was pretty good deal and ordered it as well as the valentine's day special drink, the love potion. This drink was super good. It was not too sweet and had a really good fruity flavor to it.
The drink came out almost immediately, so again I was thinking dinner service was going to be on point. The blooming onion came out shortly after with no salads so I thought those were coming out later before dinner. The blooming onion was good. The breading was crispy and very seasoned and the sauce that came with it helped balance out the seasoning. Without it, the blooming onion may be a little too salty, but who eats it without the sauce anyway? Once we finished the blooming onion we sat there for quite a bit of time before our waitress came over to see if we needed anything. I asked her if we could maybe have our side salads since dinner was talking a little long. She told me we had the option to pick between the 2 sides or the side salads. I told her no I'm pretty sure it's both. (I even check on the way out to make sure I was right, which I was I am never wrong when it comes to reading the menu.) She then continued on that I was wrong, so I decided not to argue with her. Then, I kid you not, we waited 30 minutes before our steaks came out.
The steaks weren't really charred, but to the point of burnt and thankfully still (mostly) medium rare in the middle. I personally like the taste of burnt, but I think I can say that most people do not like that. My boyfriend, for example, would be one of those people, but asking for a different steak would have possibly taken another 30 minutes to come out. For sides, we ordered the mashed potatoes, the baked sweet potato, and upgraded to the asparagus and mac and cheese. We obviously shared all of the sides. All the sides were decently good, with the mac and cheese being my favorite of the 4. I felt like the cheesiness was what I needed to help with the overall saltiness of the steak and asparagus. I have no comments about the side salad since I never received it. I can't imagine I would have had an critiques about it though.
When we were done eating, it took us another 30 minutes before we were able to sign our receipt slip and finally leave. We were literally sitting there waiting. We weren't talking, still eating, or making it seem like we wanted to be there for any longer than we needed to be. I don't know whose fault it was that dinner took so long... whether it was that the kitchen lost our ticket, messed up our order and had to redo it, or the waitress completely forgot to put our order in. I don't know but I could tell the waitress was feeling pretty pressed about how long we were waiting for food. She was very nice, but I wish she would have told us what was up. I also don't know why it took so long to run our gift card and credit card.
All I know is Outback Steakhouse owes me 2 side salads and at least an hour of each of our lives back. I was super not happy about this trip at all.
