Do people still like Outback? The last few times I went there, they put hardly any of the seasoning on the steak (my favorite part of Outback food), and it was more fat and gristle than meat, despite being touted as Filet Mignon, despite the prices going UP. This was several years ago, and we haven't gone back. Has it gotten better again? That would make me happy, as the Lone Star across the street from it closed, which was my go to after Outback went downhill. Sully's, a local steakhouse, also went under during the recession, which was better than either IMHO, and cheaper to boot. They also had this REALLY cool floor to ceiling pair of fish tanks with two big tunnels running between them, so you could see the big fish swim between the tanks every once in a while. The only place I've been going lately is "The Original Steakhouse" (kind of a cross between a steakhouse and a sports bar) which has a couple locations in the DC area, one of which is on the FAR side of Woodbridge from us, so we don't get out there as often as I'd like. The problem is that my wife likes the way I grill a steak better than just about any restaurant outside of Ruth's Chris (and we can only afford to go their like twice a year), so a lot of times, she just has me make them at home (and we can do it cheaper). Sometimes, I just like other people to do the work, but she doesn't see it that way. Anyway, if Outback has gotten better, we might go once in a while. JMHO.
