Outback Steakhouse

45 minutes... No food. Fairly empty. Never seen it take 45 minutes to make a burger

Food not as good as it use to be. Did not have Sweet Potato fries.

Stephany provided great service. Wallaby Darned drink was fantastic!

A Disappointing Experience at Outback Steakhouse** --- I recently attempted to dine at Outback Steakhouse for an evening dinner, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Let me share the details: 1. **Lack of Acknowledgment**: - Upon arriving, I settled into my seat in a high-traffic area near the bar. Surprisingly, despite the bustling surroundings, no staff member acknowledged my presence for a staggering **20 minutes**. - As a guest, I expected prompt attention, especially given my visible location. However, the lack of acknowledgment was disheartening. 2. **Cleanliness Concerns**: - The establishment's cleanliness was a major disappointment. Food remnants on the floor indicated a lack of proper maintenance. - Walking on the greasy and slippery surface made me question the hygiene standards. It felt as though the floor hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in quite some time. 3. **Service Misstep**: - Just as I was about to leave, the server assigned to my area suddenly appeared. It seemed intentional, as if they wanted to avoid serving additional customers. - This final interaction added to my overall dissatisfaction. 4. **Consistent Decline**: - Over the past year, I've frequented this restaurant several times. Regrettably, each visit has revealed a decline in service quality. - The subpar food offerings further compounded my disappointment. 5. **Local Influence vs. Corporate Standards**: - It appears that the restaurant's corporate influence has waned. The current management, likely locals, now dictate the food quality and service. - Unfortunately, this shift has not been in favor of patrons like myself. --- In summary, my recent experience at Outback Steakhouse was far from satisfactory. I hope the management takes steps to address these issues and restore the restaurant's reputation. As a diner, I value both quality cuisine and attentive service, and I hope future guests receive a better experience. *Note*: Always consider that individual experiences may vary, and it's possible that my visit coincided with an off day for the restaurant. However, the consistent decline over multiple visits is concerning.
