The new location looks nice. I went with my wife on a Wednesday night, it was busy, not packed, but busy. The waitress who we had was sub-par.
We wife went to the bathroom...I perused the menu...my wife returned and I went to the bathroom, about 7-8 minutes passed before we were even greeted with a "I'm your waitress I'll be right with you." We subsequently ordered drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer came out first. Before the drinks, before the bread...
The food was fine. I mean its a chain steakhouse. I got exactly what I expected I would get. I'm not going to complain about quality here, food was par for the course.
My drinks (a water and a soft drink) each remained empty for about 75% of my visit. I got one offer for a refill.
Then we got the bill. I'm not sure when the soft drinks jumped up to $3.50 a piece, but that was a little absurd.
My wife and I used to eat about once a month at Texas Roadhouse, which was located in the same shopping center as this Outback before it shut down after a slip and fall lawsuit. Our order is always the same, the house special, a six ounce steak with two sides. My wife gets one, I get one. We pay about $25 at Texas Roadhouse. Our bill here for the same two specials was $39. Between the increased drink prices and the higher steak prices...I miss Texas Roadhouse. They are miles above this place in both value and service.
