My husband and I tried Fajitas tonight for the first and were sorely displeased. Our drinks were mediocre, the salsa was terrible and our food was completely disappointing.

Wow, this place misses, by a loooooong shot.\n\nFood wise, this place should be rated zero stars, but the server was SO nice and did such a great job, I had to bump it up.

Great homemade tortillas (nice and thick)\nThe service is good\nThe food is good.\n\nLosing a star because they're priced a little high, but if you go family-style and share the whole-pound fajita plate(s) it eases the sticker shock a smidge. \n\nAlso, try the pork fajitas, they're much better than the chicken.

I'm from southern Cali and I feel I know really good Mexican food. The only thing that was good was the chips and that's about it. For a place called fajitas, the fajitas were terrible. The price for what you got was bad. The service was below average. I will not be going back.

The food was decent, but prices were stupid expensive. The lunch portions were minimal for $8.50, the 1/2# fajitas were $20. Small sides of guacamole are $2.25. Given the early 90's cheese decor, your money would be well spent elsewhere.

Never had anything but the fajitas here...because they are the best in town! If you want multiple meats, ask for one pound of meat with half of it beef and half of it chicken (for example). Cheaper than ordering 1/2 lb of each. Good service. Great salsa and salsa con queso. I repeat, BEST FAJITAS!

Its been years since Ive been to an Outback and I was so pleasantly surprised how wonderful everything was this evening. My boyfriend and I both got the 4 courses for $15 which is a screaming deal for the amount of food you get! The french onion soup was a $1 up charge but totally worth it. We asked for our steaks medi...

Above average location. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was solid and cooked as ordered. No wait when we arrived. Their 4 for $15 menu is great! Soup, Salad, Entree and dessert all for fifteen bucks is a DEAL! :O)

Me and my wife were in Phoenix for a couple of days, and wanted to have steak. Having heard about outback and their consistent steaks, we decided to give it a try. We started with their specials - crab stuffed mushrooms which were dripping with butter but were delicious. They came out within a few mins of ordering. \n\...

We had a horrible experience several weeks ago. I ordered 14-ounce Rib Eye dinner.... what I got what looked just like my dinner companion's steak in the 8-oz sirloin/(shrimp) dinner.

The waiter did an excellent job explaining the different cuts of meat. The staff was well educated about the product they were selling. I would have loved to see a better variety for non steak lovers. I had the salmon and it was not seasoned.

Great little sushi spot with a heck of an all-u-can eat deal. I like it. The staff is great, the food is great quality and the prices are fair. My only complaint: Nearly every time I leave Sushi Q I get hit up by the pan handlers working the liquor store next door. 4 stars for price, quality, and staff.
