OutBack

17 October 2014

Early in June of this year, I was given a $25.00 gift certificate for the Outback restaurant.

Having never eaten there before and I always like to try eating at a new restaurant.  We were in Orem Utah today so we stopped there for lunch.  As soon as we walked through the door Carol commented on how dark it was.  I replied in agreement.  When it is dark it is hard to see how well the meat is cooked.  Carol order a couple of tacos and I ordered a hamburger and the waiter asked if I wanted cheese,  and bacon with that.  I said yes to both questions.  Fries came with each order. He also asked if I wanted it well done, medium, medium rare, or rare.  I asked for medium rare.

The atmosphere was pleasing and pleasant.  Nice photos on the walls represent the outback of Australia.  After an acceptable wait, our lunch was served.  The hamburger was thick.  I could not open my mouth wide enough to eat it, so I started with big nibbles.  When I got to the meat, I wonder what rare would be.  I ate most of it and some of the fries.  There was just to much to eat.
The burger would have been better if there was more tomato, sauce, onions, and lettuce.  I like the hamburger from In and Out just a little to the north.   Service was good.  The waiter checked with us often to see how things were.

We will not go back.  Carol like hers better than I liked mine.  One should not judge all the other items on the menu based on eating one menu meal.
