Outback Steakhouse

If steaks were nothing but thick shoe leather, this meal would be a perfect experience. Outback steakhouse is a shadow of it's former self. I honestly don't know why I keep going back. It's like they are everywhere, so it's easy. I tell myself, "Self, maybe this time they won't totally screw it up". But alas, every time I have ordered anything from Outback Steakhouse in the last ten years, it has been dreadful. Do yourself a favor, and order food from Texas Roadhouse. They still care about quality, and their steaks far surpass the quasi-protein grey lumps of canvas that Outback serves as steaks. Features: I mean really. Who cares anymore?

Let me start by saying I am really giving them a 3.5. But idk how to do half a star. So me and the family went there a few days ago to celebrate my step son birthday. The big 11.. he wanted to go there for his birthday. Now keep in mind none of us ever ate there before. So i went in a bit skeptical. And i am.not a big steak fan. So just ordering took a minute. The one steak item I wanted to try they sauce that came with it.. they were out so I was not happy about that. But we all ordered. I got a rib and chicken plate. And to my surprise the food was actually pretty good. The free bread they gave was fresh and delicious. The employees seemed nice. Service was a little slow. Which I was shocked because it was not packed. But other than that. It was a surprisingly good meal. It was more thumbs up and than down. So yeah. I would recommend outback. I would go back. There were a few things I wanted to try.

First when we get there we are told that there is a 30 minute wait, in a restaurant that had several empty tables. Luckily we didn't have to wait, and that is about the last good thing I have to say. They didn't have clean silverware, we waited at least another 45 minutes for silverware and bread. Finally we ordered our food and that is where the fun begins. I ordered the strip and wings, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the wings looked like they came off of "Tweety bird" .
