I'm actually surprised how much I like Outback. I think it is one of the better chain restaurants. I'm consistently had better steaks at Outback than a lot of the more high end, expensive restaurants. I don't get to Outbacks too often, but every time I do, I leave very impressed by the meal I just had.
I came in here the other night as I was staying in the area and this place was pretty close to my hotel. I grabbed a booth and was greeted by my server very quickly. Service was good and attentive throughout the meal which is always appreciated.
My go to order here is the Outback special. I went with the 9 ouncer on this visit. I ordered it with fries and a caesar salad. Outback makes one of the best caesar salads I've ever had and it is always served on a freezing cold plate. The salad was excellent. I hate to go on and on about a salad but it really is excellent.
I ordered my steak medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Once again, it was a phenomenal cut of meat. At about $15 or $16, this steak was much better than others I've paid $40+ for. It was so lean and there was barely any fat/waste to it. I was very impressed by the steak and I'll definitely be getting it again. The one negative to Outback is that their fries aren't very good. I kind of always forget about that before I order them. I'm definitely going with another side next time.
This particular Outback can actually be a little difficult to find and I recommend they put some better signs out on the road. The parking lot is huge so it's not hard to get a spot. For the quality of food, the prices are very reasonable and they weren't too packed on a weeknight. I'd have no problem returning.
