3.5!!!
This was my first (possibly second) experience at Outback Steakhouse and they definitely exceeded my expectations. We went on a Friday night around 5PM and they had a full house! I never knew Outback was so popular. They gave us a beeper and we waited about 30 minutes.
I really like their booths, they are nice and spacious. Our server, Ryan, was attentive, friendly and fast. They start you off with warm bread that reminds me of the honey wheat bread at Cheesecake Factory. We ordered a few items, nothing stood out but everything was good. They currently have a steak and AYCE shrimp special that starts at $15.99.. My only complaint is that the fully loaded baked potato was overly salty so I will probably ask for no salt next time.
HOT TIP: There is a "light bites" menu that features some items starting at $4.. I suggest the Blooming Onion Petals (smaller portion of their famous Blooming Onion) and their Melon Chelada!
