Outback Steakhouse

Went there with family on Sat 5/11/13 for dinner with family. Went to washroom and really thought "Do I really need to go?" after seeing the condition it was in. Wife happened to go as well and when we walked out commented about the conditions. Went back to the table and waited 16 minutes before deciding "Let's leave" because no one had taken our drink order even.

Now this is the best part, while waiting outside the parking lot at the light I called the restaurant and asked for the manager. I pointed out what happened and was grilled as to whether or not I was actually in the restaurant? When I described every patron around our table she then remembered us. When I pointedly asked "Why should I choose Outback Steak House vs. continuing across the street to either The Squire or TGIFs?" my reply was "because I answered the phone?" OMG...  That was her answer.

So if you like chain restaurant frozen prepared appetizers with lazy waitstaff and a franchise manager that doesn't care about the customers that come in. This is your place to be.

If you are a little more discerning with your budget dollars for a family dinner, keep going because this Outback is not worth the money.

Stopped in for the steak ad lobster special, for a steakhouse they dont know how to cook steak. the filet was raw so i sent it back then i tasted the lobster tail(which was not a true tail it was 2 small pieces....the lobster was also raw, i spit it out and sent the whole thing back, then the manager returns wih the same food i just spit out i told her to take it away and i left, cant believe they put food back on the grill that i took out of my mouth,the manager kept blaming the waiter but she is the one that took it and had it REGRILLED HA this is gross and disgusting. The manager then told me i should have told the waiter i spit it out. whaaaaaaattt???????????? never again would i walk in this place.

Typical chain food.  Steaks are way over seasoned, fish is tasteless, lobster is rubbery, and the veggies are mushy.  The beer is over priced and the cocktails are under poured.  Wait staff is always good but that's the only good thing about outback.  Try Dukes or Giorgio's in downtown CL instead.
