The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Absolutely horrible! Don't waste your money. I was so disappointed. I always go to the Outback in Wesley Chapel and have never had a bad meal. I invited my son's girlfriend to dinner and we chose the Brandon location because it was a halfway point between us. She had never been to an Outback before. I was so embarrassed and felt horrible for inviting her. Not long after ordering they told us they ran out of baked …”
“Disappointing! It's not that the food was bad it just did not add up to $100.00 in value. Staff was wonderful - they cannot help that the product the chain is turning out is lacking! OB used to be a memorable experience its now become a regret. Worst thing is to obtain internet you need to give up you personnel info! I don't know how much corporate saves but its not worth it!”
“They either had a very shorthanded night or maybe they need to rethink the idea of how expensive going out and how much that we spend. Money is kinda tight in both directions. So if I shell out money that it cost to go here, things need to be at least close to being right. Now that being said. We waited for 27 minutes to be seated, 2 people. We came in we were ask to sit in waiting area. It would be 10- 15 minutes. …”
Positive
“I did curd side she was nice and smiled I asked for a extra sour cream, sure give me a minute!!”
“I dine here through takeout at least once a month. Just dropped here to say "thanks" for an orderly take out process, an order that is always right, and consistent food. Thank you!”
