| - During the previews for Iron Man 2 at Sam's Town, Outback Steakhouse boasted a free appetizer with entree purchase with our ticket stub. Being Mother's Day and since my mother and I are both fans, we decided to head on over.
Even though upon arriving they told us it was a 20-30 minute wait, we got in there in less than 15 minutes. We let our server know about the deal which he did take off our bill at the end of the night. My mom got the Outback special with snow crab legs, with a side salad and baked potato. I got the bloomin' onion to share, a side caesar salad and a baked potato as well. There aren't too many vegetarian options obviously (and I didn't feel like getting the Parmesan pasta dish that they did have) but the sides are a meal on their own.
The pacing was very nice on the food. Got the bloomin' onion first which was hot and fresh and super delicious, then we got the salad and the bread (the salads definitely needed more dressing, but our server brought us more right away - also I'm pretty sure they changed the dressing recipe as well which is not as good. And $4.75 for a small salad bowl is kind of a rip-off.). Shortly after my mom got her main course and I got my baked potato. The potatoes are always great but I got mine with cheese, but there was hardly any on it. Although with the amount of butter I have consumed today, maybe that should be a non-issue.
My mom's steak was made to her satisfaction, and holy shit at the crab legs. I think this was a good winter because these snow crabs were freakin' mutant-size. They were so big my mom only had one bite of her steak before calling it a night.
Overall I do love the food (the salad was the only "meh" part, I really hope we got some weird dressing batch) and the price wasn't bad, evened out to $15 each including tip, and we got the bloomin' onion free. I was also expecting the customer service to be awful since they were extremely busy but we got excellent service which is the main reason I will continue to come here, butter overload and all.
