| - I don't think anyone expects Outback Steakhouse to be comparable to real steakhouses - the food is generally overpriced, and the decor tries to basically be a fancier Applebees or Chili's. This location has a nice ambience and good decor - it does certainly seem like you're eating at an upscale steakhouse.
However, their steaks simply fall flat. It's really not TERRIBLE - the 6 ounce tenderloin is $13 and it's okay steak. The aussie fries are actually quite delicious, and the caesar salad side I got was pretty good too. I would love to give this a smack dab 2.5 average rating, but I boosted it to a 3 (maybe even a 3.5?) for the exceptional service we got.
They have a $8.99 unlimited shrimp (which is actually a FANTASTIC deal) thing going on right now, and it's delicious! It's literally unlimited shrimp - you can choose crispy (popcorn shrimp) or grilled (garlic herb shrimp) and they're both pretty darn good. I mean, for the fact that it's unlimited and fairly priced. Don't expect amazing shrimp, though, it's just really cool that it's unlimited!
Overall, Outback Steakhouse is not a place I would want to go to if I'm trying to find good steak, but it's really not a bad place if no one can make up their mind on where to go for some "fancy" food. I would give it a 3.5 star review if I could, but it certainly doesn't deserve 4 stars.
