Outback Steakhouse

Really tasty food, our server was great. The steak was a little bland, the fact that the waitress asked if I wanted A1 sauce before I had even tried the steak didn't give any confidence in the taste, and I wish I had taken the sauce. If your steak needs steak sauce, then it wasn't cooked well enough. Other than that, everything was great. Very tasty, amazing Mac and cheese, great customer service.

Worst food I’ve had. Tasted like Golden Corral. 🤮 I asked for medium rare and got a super rare, bloody, chewy steak. And they gave me my side 15 minutes before I got my food. I’m sure they don’t care, but will never in my life come here again.. and I’m telling everyone I know NOT to eat here…

TBH

The service was so good. We came around 8:30 and were sat immediately. Service was prompt and the food came out very quickly. We were checked on regularly, my cup never hit the bottom which I always appreciate. As for the food, it was nice and hot. Ribs fell off the bone, mashed potatoes were delicious and so was the mac n cheese. My husband loved the steak and shrimp pasta. The food is very heavy though so neither of us finished what we ordered. It was a bit expensive but that's to be expected at this type of establishment. Definitely would go back because it was an ideal experience

My son’s Birthday dinner request was a resounding, “steak and ribs!”. With no time to cook, that narrowed the search down to a few restaurants in the area. The Blooming onion commercial recent within my memory, Outback Steakhouse was as fine as choice as any with both offerings. Excited for a good meal, we were happily seated in a small booth in the bar area. A smaller table seemed acceptable for a family of 4 with 2-under-10 year olds. However, upon noticing another section of the restaurant with bigger booths available, and lacking any beer-chugging bros who’s language would make Eminem blush, I realized that perhaps we were being punished for bringing along 2 uncultured nuisances to such a fine dining establishment. My kids did not pay much attention to their surroundings throughout the night, thankfully, and my child happily exclaimed to our waitress, “it’s my Birthday!” once we arrived. I will say that she seemed nice, and she provided a nice scoop of ice cream with chocolate and caramel on it for the birthday boy at the end of the night. An appetizer and 3 entrees were split between us all, it was more than enough food and the steak was cooked perfectly. I thought the food was pretty good but at $25 per entree that is debatable. I’ll cook next time, but I digress. Our bread and beverages came out together, which would be fine if it were quick, however it was not. I ordered our bloomin’ onion at this time which came out after another 10 minutes and plopped right on top of our bread board, so I guess no more bread? Fine, we have plenty of food, but picking it up would have been the better choice since we’re working with a small amount of surface area here. After retrieving an onion, my wife plops her wool coat sleeve promptly into the dipping sauce, “oops, here’s a napk….wait where’s the napkins?”, I say. I frantically look around for the first sign of help, it’s the hostess, “can I get some napkins?” I ask. Now even though these were intended to keep the moisture off the bottom of beers, I’ll happily receive them. I Ordered our mains and requested some silverware, “maybe those even come with a fancy cloth napkin?”, I thought. They did, but not before we spent 10 minutes contemplating the most civilized way to eat soup and salad without cutlery. We would drink the soup like a hot beverage and dunk crisp lettuce leafs into the dressing with pinkies pointed outwards, we had figured it out. But alas, my numerous reminders finally paid off and we were provided our backordered silverware. A few other gentle reminders throughout the evening proved to work wonders. “This isn’t what we ordered”, and “You forgot something” was a common discussion. I know a bone in rib-eye from a boneless, and certainly know when my mashed potatoes are missing. Our plates were stacked high, much like you see at a crab leg buffet, but eating in your lap is convenient. And since you are always leaning over your plate, we didn’t even have to remind the children of this manner through the night. The full rack of ribs would have been believable, should it have been a rack of rabbit. I had to double check, since it was missing the largest ribs, and was wondering where they got such small pigs. As I mentioned, we did get the ice cream, which tops off any night, and we’re grateful for that. This evening has left a scar of sorts that will never heal, which is okay. My children will inevitably hear worse things as they grow older, and we will have worse dining experiences, hopefully in a 3rd world country, later. We go out to a restaurant to be waited on, for the experience, and to eat good food. There are many other restaurants in the world and even in Layton that can provide that, so I say, goodbye to you Outback, and god speed.
