Outback is perhaps not as good as it used to be.
A friend took me to celebrate my birthday. Ordered the grilled shrimp appetizer and the prime rib french dip sandwich.
Apparently they no longer have the remoulade sauce to go with the shrimp. A server valiantly tried to make it but it really just turned out to taste like thousand island dressing. The shrimp were still good, though, and there were more of them (8) than there used to be (6).
The sandwich was a huge disappointment. Overpowered with the flavor of too many onions and no other flavor (like MEAT for example) to stand on. Also, was served on a sour dough bun which did not add to the flavor quotient. I informed the server, who was just as nice as could be, and he had the manager come over, and she was extremely nice as well. When I provide feedback to a manager (who the server sent over automatically; I did not ask to speak with her), it's more to help the experience for future diners; I'm not trying to get them to comp. anything and, since I was not paying, I don't know whether or not they did. I do think that next time, I might opt for the new Lone Star Steak House that's opened up across the street and see if they can do better.
