Re: Busting my Outback cherry
The Walkabout Soup (when it's their brocoli/cheese type program) is pretty awesome. The bread they give you while you wait to eat is also good. My problem with the Outback is the wait staff sits in the booth with you (or at least they used to). This drove me nuts... please don't sit next to me, especially guys and/or fugly waitresses.

[ QUOTE ] Wow, I never knew people hated Outback so much. Sure, it's a chain, but I think they burn a pretty good steak. Not as good as Morton's or whatever, but pretty good. Buncha snobs on here. [/ QUOTE ] What's the cost of a "good" steak at Outback? If it's like $20 bucks, I'd rather go spend $30 at a much better steakhouse. [/ QUOTE ] I usually get the NY strip, I think its $18.99 which unlike most $30 steaks also includes a side and a salad. Also, add me to the list of people who love the bread at Outback, but I also tend to think the butter has a lot to do with it. I wish more places would just give you butter instead of the prepackaged butter wannabe crap.

[/ QUOTE ] mbillie1, As an Outback lover, I would like to share this tip with you: If the server is a hot chick, sit in the middle of the booth as you normally do. If the server is not a hot chick, and you don't wish them to sit with you, then when you and your dining companion sit down, make sure that both of you sit on the very edge of the booth, that gives the server no leeway to sit down. I haven't had any server try or ask to sit when doing this, although some have appeared confused at first because it throw their script off.

I'm really more of a Friday's person though, although I do enjoy the Outback sans the aforementioned booth issue.

Bleh. I wouldn't describe anything from Outback as "great," or even, "good." You're looking for "okay," and I think that's about the best you're gonna do. I had $35 in gift cards there - good old dad really came through on my christmas present, as always - and I recently bought dinner for myself and a friend at work. I don't even recall what we had, but my medium rare steak was rare and her rare steak was medium - we did the whole curbside to go thing (probably a bad idea, but hell if I actually wanted to set foot inside that place) and I was really, really underwhelmed. Bloomin' onion is actually half decent, if you like the sauce. Otherwise... I'd steer clear of the steaks, because in my limited experience, neither I tried was very good. Buca di Bepo was a far better choice. yasher [/ QUOTE ] You can use outback gift certificates at Fleming's.
