"The Barbeque Smash Burger was a hit. Fresh, tasted like it came fresh off the grill!!!!! So good I inhaled that mf! Also, I asked if they could kindly switch the fries for onion straws and they actually did. No restaurant ever does. 10/10 service, delicious fresh food. Will be frequenting here from now on"

"Solid Classic Rib-Eye*, well seasoned and good portion of meat and sides! Also affordable price for rib-eye, which many places charge $40 or more for just because it's steak *eye roll*. Pleasantly surprised and would purchase again."
"True rating is 3 1/2 stars....The prime rib was a decent size and the potatoes were disappointing. it's supposed to be cheddar cheese and I'm not sure what kind of cheese was in the cup. I was disappointed with the small amount of potatoes scooped. I was also disappointed with just one scoop of ice cream. The picture advertised 2 scoops of ice cream to go with the dessert. I will go back to Outback. The Cesar salad and mashed potatoes had skimpy portions. Don't feel like what I paid, was worth it. The prime rib was the best part of the meal. The au jus came out of the container but that was okay They could have sealed it better."

"Wow, I actually received all the Food items I had ordered. I even received all the condiments bbq/horsey sauce neatly packed in a seperate bag. I lucked out because there was a Driver by the store right when I placed the Order, so everything was still hot and fresh when received. This review is for the Ellicott City Arby's."
"Arby's got my order wrong. I ordered Curly Fries (Large), but got Crinkle Fries instead. I am not happy with the mix up. The other food on my order was good. The Bourbon BBQ Chicken Slider was delicious. I'll enjoy the King’s Hawaiian® Sweet Heat Chicken Sandwich later along with Loaded Fries. I enjoyed the Jalapeño Bites® (5 ea.) also. They were bigger than Jalapeño Bites® (5 ea.) you get from Burger King. Both Re delicious."

"The salad was fresh and the dressing wasn't overpowering. I paid $14 for add on shrimp and received about five. They were cooked and seasoned well. The Crispy Fried Lobster Tails was too salty and slightly burned imo. I really wanted to like it but I likely wouldn't order it again. My 9 year old son loved it though. "
