“A big thank you to the staff at Outback today! We had a mistake with our takeout order, and since we weren't able to come back to pick it up, the takeout employee handled the situation with professionalism and genuine care. She worked with the manager to make things right and made sure my wife got her meal quickly.
I've had the opportunity to work, train, and develop restaurants around the world, so I know great hospitality when I see it. The experience the Orange Outback team provided tonight was outstanding. Hats off to you all—you've definitely earned a few raving fans!
And to top it all off, the food was excellent too“

“It's Sunday and every once in a while... more often than not, we brunch! Lol. We heard about the bottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they smoothed out throughout the brunch. Food/Drinks: The mimosa was okay... It was REALLY strong because there's orange vodka and orange liqueur in it. It kinda killed the flavor for me because I'd prefer a traditional mimosa with minimal juice, but... no matter. They're bottomless... or supposed to be... Just be mindful of who your server is. Brunch can consist of a prix-fixed menu, which is what we did so we'll be going through that. First up were the Homemade Sausage Gravy and biscuits. These were super smothered and fantastic. Hot, savory, meaty, salty and even had a bit of a subtle sweetness. The biscuit was soft, butter and had crispy edges. Next up were the Cinnamon Rolls. These were HUGE. Lol. Like, how are we supposed to eat AND drink all of this stuff?! The exterior of the roll was crispy and the inside very soft. Not over-the-top sweetness or anything. These were very balanced. Next up were the Bananas Foster Pancakes. But this thing was enormous. It was so thick, like literally an inch thick. Lol. Fresh bananas sliced right on top, it cut like butter, was soft with the perfect crispy edges and these were AMAZING. Punch of sweetness up front, fluffy texture and just a great pancake. For dinner, this restaurant usually serves Cast Iron Popcorn instead of bread, so Stacey let us try it! It was smokey, a little-little sweet with a little bit of salt and maybe a hickory barbecue flavor. I liked it. Lastly, I chose the Steak & Eggs over Salmon & Eggs, but got to try both since my wife was with me. Each comes with gigantic fried potatoes, 3 eggs, a piece of toast, caramelized onions and your protein of choice. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare). The flavors were excellent. It was a little fatty and just was done very well. Value: $64.96 for bottomless mimosas and the prix-fixe menu. Probably the best value brunch in the state. SO MUCH FOOD and strong drinks. I don't know what else you'd want! In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and have revisited since my first time! Everything was just as awesome as the first. Check this place out if you're in the area!“

“A Marine and Officer took his wife for 24 years anniversary dinner Asked for a military or police discount and they gave us a free dessert Dinner was delicious and when we got home the dessert was absolutely awesome Definitely recommend John & Flavia“

“We had a great meal on a Friday evening at about 5:30 PM

The waitress was very friendly, quick and responsive to all our requests

The salad was crispy and fresh no wilted lettuce. The bread was fresh fresh baked, and warmed with whipped butter

My steak was cooked perfectly and the grilled shrimp was served over a Spanish flavored rice was excellent

The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery very nice. The shrimp or cooked perfectly not overcooked. They still had some snap to it when you bite into them please refer to the video.

My friend had the Parmesan crusted chicken breast, which was also fantastic when she let me have a bite. Also would be in the photos.

We will definitely be returning to this place and have visited this place before great experience all around for a busy Friday night. The Restaurant was at capacity with a quick 15 minute wait but we got right in with a party of two. We got a large booth and it was great.

We will be back👍🏻 👍🏻“
