Reviews for Outback Steakhouse

01/07/2011 - Welma Johnson
My husband I arrived at this restaurant at 5:20 pm for dinner and were given a 30 minute wait time to be seated. After 45 min my husband went to the hostess to see how much longer it would be to be seated and was told we were next in line. After another 10 min. and no call I went to the hostess to see what was happening and was told that patrons were "lingering" longer than expected, and it was just "one of those things that make my job miserable." She never checked her list for our name, and did not give us any idea how much longer it would be before were seated. I went back to my seat asking my husband how many people were supposed to be ahead of us. We continued to watch the hostesses seat 3-4 more tables of 2 persons, so we went back to the hostess to see exactly how many persons were ahead of us. When the hostess checked her list, she claimed that our pager had been buzzed some time earlier and our name called over the intercom neither of which ever occurred. My husband held the pager in his hand continuously and we checked the flashing green light several times to be sure it was working, and there was never any intercom announcement of any kind the whole hour we sat waiting to be seated. We were treated rudely each time we spoke with this hostess and will find it difficult to consider this restaurant again. '
