text: I went here as a last resort after being unable to secure a table at BeefnBottle so my expectations in regards to meat quality that day were a little highnnThe first thing to expect at Outback is a fairly long wait on weekends if memory serves me correctly the wait on a Saturday night was about mins There is a small waiting area to the left of the door that has complimentary lemonade and they also pass out samples of appetizers This small space is a real life saver when it is really cold outsidennRegarding the food I recommend either the Victoria Filet or the New York strip rare or medium rare Since the prices are so reasonable you are basically looking at a steak if you get the sirloin and based on the comments from the table next to us a piece of meat is what you are going to get While we enjoyed our filet and New York strip the couple next to us was unable to finish more than half of their sirloins They said that the meat was kind of tough and dry I personally found my strip to be tender and juicy however it was lacking in the seasoning department let just say I needed a lot of steak sauce The loaded baked potato was cooked well but the cesar salad that I had was very bland The dressing had almost no taste and the parmesan cheese was bland with an odd peppery tastennThe service was great our waitress was very attentive and friendly If you asked me if I would return I would probably say no The food quality just is not what I am used to in the realm of steaks To be honest I have had better steaks at some of Charlottes local bars If you are on a limited budget and want a steak dinner for or less you cannot beat the pricing here
