"Compré ahí 4 veces y no lo recomiendo. Cada vez que llegaba tenía que espera media hora o más cuando pedía algo porque no había fritos o no había carne, etc. Pero cuando estaba lista venía otra gente y se lo daban primero. Eso pasó dos veces. En otra ocasión me dieron un costillal en 3 y ya eso era tres piezas, claramente le dije me echas mulo y pechuga y me dice "sí sí " un moreno que me estaba sirviendo. La última vez me pasó igual, una pechuga en tres y eso eran disque tres piezas y sabían a aceite viejo y sin sazonar. Como si cocinaron pescado en el aceite. Y más nunca, al principio fuí porque me decían que era muy bueno, entonces, habrá empezado bien, pero cambiaron."

"10/10. Exceeded my expectations, honestly. My steak was cooked perfectly medium, my sweet potato was hot and delcious, my side pecan salad was cool and fresh, and I even got a piece of bread included for free! Would definitely recommend this outback location."
"I always order several menu items from here and I don't know what's changed in the past year or so but the lettuce in the salads are always soggy and rotten now. Also, if I'm paying nearly $20 for salad, I expect to receive a full cup of dressing - not a quarter of the cup filled. Additionally, ingredients requested to be left out, due to allergies, were not removed. This place has gone downhill."

"The seafood was delicious of course but the real surprise was how good the steak was. One of the best I've had in the area from a chain restaurant "
"Unfortunately im leaving a one star and you know what that means. Disappointing is an understatement for this birthday dinner. $10 for 2 tenders and a handful of fries is laughable. Shouldve spent the $20 I spent on this meal on other things clearly. Retiring from ordering here after 2 painful experiences. Such a big bag for no reason should probably save some money and get smaller bags because there is no need. "
