Outback Steakhouse

I got off late today and needed to eat something with a lot of protein. My son decided we should go to Outback Steakhouse. The minute I walked in the door, the two ladies in the front ignored me and clearly had a lot of negative attitude due to my appearance. One of the ladies finally took my son and I to our seats, after they finished their brief conversation. When we got to our seats we ordered and everyone who came in after us seemed to be getting their food in a timely manner. We finally got our food and I tasted my steak and it had this gritty sand like texture, as if someone dropped it on the floor and put it back on my plate. After I asked the waiter about the texture of the steak she took my plate and had the kitchen prepare a new steak. The manager offered me soup, but I declined. I got the steak in another 20 minutes and it taste a lot better. Three individuals were seated next to my table and I noticed they had a special menu. A menu I didn't receive. So I asked to see the menu. The lady politely gave me the menu and I immediately went upfront to the hostess and inquired about why I wasn't presented with this special menu. In a very rude tone she said, sorry. The manager offered me a slice of pie, but again I declined, after I expressed to him that I wasn't upset about the pie, I was upset that they couldn't do their job as hostess. I'm in the military so I am sorry if being a hostess doesn't emit pride. I would hope people took pride in any job they had and worked honorably, but I guess that is way too much to expect.

Always Good food just a little to pricey for it

I gave it 3 stars due to our server/bartender. We always sit at bar because we don't have to wait for a table. When I ordered the drink I had there last time that I loved , the bartender looks at me and says"75% of the people who order that drink send it back" I let him know I have had it before. "Most people don't like Sailor Jerry's rum" well, I drink Sailor Jerry's rum and do. Why would he even say such a thing? He never smiled. Acted better then everyone. Had to be asked repeatedly for things. If he's bald with a hairy face, don't sit at the bar. Only left a good tip cause the young sidekick tender was very nice and didn't want to see him loose out because of "better than everyone else here". Wish I knew the names of the two female bartenders from our last time! Service, drinks, correct order and wanting for nothing. They were on!

I love taking my dogs to Tailwaggers. They always have an opening for them, they do a GREAT job, and they are affordable. I tried taking them somewhere closer to home once, and decided to NEVER try anywhere else again. Nobody compares. They have the cutest things to buy there, too!! I work at a vet clinic and as a pet sitter and I refer EVERYONE to Tailwaggers.

This grooming salon refused to trim my beautiful, sweet puppy's nails because she is an American Pit Bull Terrier. I have never heard of a salon being this ignorant before. For a store that claims to "love" and "know" all about animals, they sure don't know how to research and read statistics. APBT's received a better score on their temperamant tests than golden retrievers and labs. I have never heard of a salon refusing to serve a customer based on the type of dog it it. I am appalled and I will be spreading the word that this business is prejudiced and are not the animal lovers they claim to be.
