I am usually not big on chain restaurants. However I can't help but give the local Outback at Chandler Blvd. and the 101 five stars! The wife and I dined there last night with some friends and here is how it went:
1. The doors were held open by two waitresses.
2. We were greeted with smiles from both of them welcoming us and we were also greeted with a smile and a welcome by the hostess.
3. Expecting a wait I was pleasantly surprised that we were seated immediately.
4. We were immediately greeted by our waitress with a smile and a welcome. She was prompt, helpful, and you could just tell that she was there to make our experience a great one!
5. Our friends got some cheese fries which looked awesome but I couldn't eat them because of my diet (low carb). I was laughing when I pointed out that they just HAD to put bacon on those fries. The waitress smiled and left and came back with a bowl of bacon ON THE HOUSE for yours truly!
6. When my steak came out it was cooked to perfection.
7. My drink glass was never empty the entire time.
8. I was asked if I wanted a box for what I couldn't eat.
9. Oh and the manager came by to check on us with a smile. She also asked if we needed anything and when my buddy said he would like some more iced tea instead of sending the waitress back to do that she got it herself!
10. When we left we were again thanked for coming and the doors held open for us BY THE MANAGER!
I have to say that I have never received this high level of service from any restaurant anywhere.
BRAVO!
I give this restaurant and its staff and its management two thumbs up...way up!
