I love the food. It is always top quality and the service is excellent.Charlie was our server in the bar area. He is one of the most professional, genuine and congenial servers we have ever had at Outback. Keep up the good work Charlie and Outback!

Just know that they do not use REAL butter, SO many things have soybean oil, but they do fry the foods in beef tallow, which is a plus.
And the cheesecake with the chocolate sauce is to die for.

Been to this location several times and had a nice experience each time. Wait staff have all been wonderful which is a HUGE deal to me! The food comes second and it was great as well! Seemed a bit cool in there so I'll remember to wear a sweater next time.
