Outback Steakhouse - Tucson

Yesterday here in Tucson I had the best main rib I had on this earth in my 60 years. Best meat and spices, I'm drooling, as I think. Too bad it was the day before my diet began.

My rating for this restaurant is a strong 4 stars. We had lunch at this Outback and the lunch scene had not become very busy at the time of our arrival. I ordered a lunch salad with ranch dressing, and the Alice Springs Chicken with fries. We also had the gluten-free Chocolate Thunder Down Under for dessert. My salad was basic, but well-presented and all of the ingredients were fresh. They were a bit too generous with the ranch dressing, but I love ranch so no problem there. Oh, I also shared a starter version of the Shrimp on the Barbie, which was seasoned nicely, cooked correctly, and was overall very tasty. My Alice Springs Chicken was juicy and delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and how can you go wrong with chicken topped with mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and a honey mustard sauce? Yum! The fries were hot and fresh. Our dessert was rather fabulous, too. The brownie was rather light and not dense. The ice cream and whipped cream went with it perfectly. Finally, the service was good throughout. The team at Outback did a good job and we will return.

Food was fresh and quickly brought to the table. I was impressed at with the quantity and quality of the food for a great price! But the thing that stood out the most was the vibes from the employees working that night. Each staff member was working with ease and thoroughness. This was a nice change to see because I've definitely noticed in the last couple of years this is really hard to come by. I know for a fact this is ultimately from good management. I just have to say it really made my dinner experience a great one! I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a place to eat in that area for dinner!!

My first time eating at this place. Our waitress was amazing and very well informed on everything on their menu. She explained the custom dishes on each page. She asked where we’ve eaten before and the types of dishes we usually ordered so she was able to recommended things based off of what we liked to eat. Her timing was perfect when coming by to check on how we were doing and if to see if we needed anything. She was an older waitress so her way of customer service was old school, which as a former waitress myself, I greatly appreciated! I had a prime rib sandwich, which was cooked to perfection! A lot of places mess up prime rib! I would go back there to eat not only because the food was excellent, but also because of the waitress we had!

We went early. The hostess and wait staff were very friendly and attractive. There was a small wait for our bar order and some confusion on what drink was what. I ordered the black cherry mule and the first time it came out with mint and the second time with a black cherry and a slice of lemon no mint. Both were good but weird that they were that different.
