My plane was delayed and I missed dinner with my colleague and I could not find the Chick-Fil-A I thought was down the road and so I begrudgingly went to Outback to grab a quick dinner at the bar.\n\nAnd it was good. There, I said it.\n\nDon't get me wrong, it wasn't gourmet. But my salad, salmon, and baked potato were all very tasty, and the bread they served me was fresh and hot. I asked the bartender for a local beer, and the Red Oak she served me was refreshing and crisp. And the service was really good: The bartender recommended the salmon when I couldn't make up my mind, and followed up with the kitchen on her own initiative when she felt my salad was taking too long to come out.\n\nI can't believe I'm saying this, but I can now see a future in which I go into an Outback without dreading it. Thanks, Gastonia Outback!"^^ . "2011-10-14T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ .
