Outback Steakhouse - Salinas

The service was excellent but the food was not so good. I asked for a steak without spices on it but it came with spice anyhow. The potato was barely warm. They offered me free dessert which I declined but did take a fair amount off the bill which I did not request. So service was great, they tried to make it right. I would try there again.

Bad Service, Bad Food ........I Felt like I got robbed after leaving there. I would have gave them negative stars. Very bad experience.

Decided we’d like a simple steak dinner, but this was terrible. The service was good, but the 1 star is for the food. The potato soup was slimy, the pecan, blue cheese salad was wilted and beginning to brown. My steak was overdone, they were out of sweet potatoes, (early on a Friday evening? and served it with white rice on a white plate. I wasn’t sure what to think when he brought it out...It was simply the worst meal I’ve had in a restaurant in years. My husband’s burger was soaked in yellow mustard that made McDonalds seem like a better option. Even the ice tea was muddy looking and the place was cold because the heater was out. Unsure what’s up with the Salinas location, but someone needs to look into this- absolutely terrible. Again, wait staff and service was good, food and drink- atrocious.

The food was great. Service was excellent. I ordered the 13 ounce rib eye (medium rare) with a sweet potato and coconut shrimp and a small side of Steakhouse Mac and cheese. It was delicious! The atmosphere was calm, playing sports on the TV. Cool and relaxing.

The staff was great, but the food was inexpensive. Backkartoffel was not the largest, you can get a better baked potato on the flea market for less.
