Wow I haven't been to Outback for many years!  Like 8-10 years!! Don't know why not, maybe because I do not usually eat at full chain restaurants and trying to eat at more locally owned restaurants or trying different foods?? Well all I can say is I kick my self for driving by Outback for this many years. For Christmas I received a gift card so now I had no reason not to go. \n\nWe were promptly seated and had a very nice server. We skipped any appetizers and went into  the open flamed seared sirloin with the shrimp on the barbie.  (our new years resolution was to share more at certain places, to cut calories and save money since we are always TOO full to finish, and doggie bags suck)  We added some coconut shrimp too. We started our dinner off with a split Caesar salad. \n\nThe salad was very good. Surprised me coming from a chain. lol.  Had a lot of flavor. By the time dinner came I was really looking forward to it. We had cut the steak in half (it was 11oz and my wife can only do 3-4oz so it was perfect split)  and shared the shrimp and had our 2 sides of garlic mash potatoes  and French fries (my idea) and had ourselves a meal!\n\nThe meal was very good! Steak was asked for medium, and was perfect. Shrimp was great, not my favorite was the coconut shrimp. The sides were great. Even just sharing I was too full to even LOOK, at a desert menu. \n \nAlso we added our meal with sharing the margarita trio. 3 samples margarita which were really good. I liked the mango one the best. \n\nOverall we had a wonderful dinner here at outback. Price wasn't  to bad either for steak. With or without the gift cards ill be back!
