Last week, one of my friends came over to visit, and we thought ,instead of cooking at home, why not try somewhere new for lunch? So, we ended up at Outback Steakhouse, and honestly, what a great decision that was!
There were three of us -me, my husband, and my friend — and each of us ordered a different steak. I can’t remember the exact names of the dishes anymore (classic me ), but every single plate that came to the table was amazing.
The steaks were juicy, flavorful, and had that perfect smoky, slightly charred edge that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. The sides were simple but went so well — soft mashed potatoes, buttery veggies, and that little burst of seasoning in every forkful.
What I loved most was that each dish had its own character. One was perfectly tender and melt-in-your-mouth, another had a rich garlicky butter flavor, and the third one came with a slightly tangy sauce that balanced the whole plate.
The restaurant had that cozy, warm vibe — perfect for catching up with friends over good food and laughter.
So yes, even though I can’t recall the exact names of what we ordered, I definitely remember how amazing everything tasted. Sometimes, the best food experiences are the ones that don’t need fancy descriptions — just that one simple thought: “I’d come back here again!” ❤️
Great service, great food, great atmosphere… a perfect Sunday lunch!! Not real busy, which surprised me.
Thank you, Outback!!
The meat was delicious, cooked exactly like I asked for. Generous portion. Price more than reasonable. My wife burger a d entree was also very good.
Our waiter was very kind and professional.
Very good surprise, we will come back for sure!
While I was eating, a spider fell from the ceiling directly into my food.
When I asked for the manager, Gerard Campbell, he became angry and said the situation was “out of his control.” He did not remove the contaminated food and then told me that he did not need my business and that I was not welcome and should not return to the restaurant.
When I began recording and asked him to repeat what he said, he walked away.
Then — unbelievably — I was presented with my bill.
After a spider fell into my food.
After being told to leave.
I had to ask again through the server for a manager.
No apology. No professionalism. No basic food-safety response.
As a customer who was casually dressed, I could not help but feel that I was met with unwarranted hostility and disrespect while raising a legitimate safety concern. At a minimum, the response was dismissive and demeaning, and it left me questioning whether I was treated differently than other guests would have been.
This was not just a sanitation failure — it was hostile, dismissive, and humiliating treatment of a customer reporting a serious issue.
Corporate leadership and the Health Department have been notified.
I would strongly caution anyone considering dining here.
