Myself and a couple friends went in on Friday night at 7pm. We only waited for what felt like 5 min before being seated. Once seated, we were well taken care of by Tyler M. Best service ever!!! He was so kind, friendly, and attentive. I ordered the sirloin and shrimp and it was so tasty. Would definitely go back again and request Tyler.

We went to dinner last week and Kari was great! Very friendly, attentive to our requests, and made sure our special requests were met. Our drinks were never empty - this is a pet peeve of mine so this was very much appreciated!! Kari always had a smile on her face!

It was a celebration for my mom‘s 86th birthday, Allison was amazing! Patient, kind and fun! She gave great suggestions for our meals, ample time between courses, and checked back with us frequently. It was surprising busy for a Monday night but she worked the room like a champion! She made all the difference in our celebration. When you’re at outback ask for Allison’s section! She’s a doll!

The absolute best experience I've had in a very long time we did come in looking kind of homeless so I do apologize for that but I will say that the staff there was amazing are waitress did not make us feel any less than because we weren't dressed to impress in fact I think she went above and beyond and I can't be more grateful for the service that we received I absolutely love the food the atmosphere and the waitress whichever female was working last night is the most sweetest and kindest woman ever we came in on 3/3/26 around 7 pm or so and she was the absolute most sweetest lady and made us definitely want to drive 40 miles to come back
