Our local Outback Steakhouse

Sometimes it's nice to not have to cook and do dishes, right? I agree. After picking a friend up from the airport who was coming home from Scotland, it nearly dinnertime. Jet-lagged about 8 hours off schedule, she was too exhausted to get a bite to eat. So we dropped her off and I realized I hadn't pulled anything out for dinner.

Hmmm... (waiting for the Hubby to say lets eat out)

Quickly, the Hubby has a bright idea - "Let's eat out!" (Love that guy). So we headed down to Outback, knowing they always have some kind of special we can share, but never knowing which one. Low and behold, they have a "No Worries Wednesdays". Thank you Holy Spirit for directing us there. I got my 6 oz sirloin and the Hubby ordered an 8 oz prime rib. We both had salads, bread, and shared cheese fries (with a side a jalapenos) and our bill was only $32. With all that food, we actually had enough to have lunch the next day - so you do the math on what dinner really costs us. :)

About the service... our server was Mark and he was okay. The salads came out about 90 seconds before our entrees and when we were ready to pay we honestly waiting about 7-8 minutes for him to come and collect payment. He was very nice though, so I'd still give him a thumbs up. The manager, Kori, however was one of the best I have ever seen in quite a while. I give her 100% on management travel paths and touching tables. With our issue of the food coming out too quickly, she came by unexpectedly and tripped over herself apologizing and offered to buy us dessert. She was kind, gracious, and acted like she truly enjoyed her job. Not very often do I see that these days. A great manager - I pray she is recognized for her efforts.
