    Isabel was an excellent server with a great balance of giving us privacy and checking on us. Our food was delicious and expertly prepared. The Coastal Fried Oyster appetizer with jalapeño tartar sauce made us want to make the sauce at home. We selected the 6oz filet entree with preselected sides of shiitake mushroom, asparagus spears and red mashed potatoes with a red wine Demi glaze that was perfect for us. The steak was expertly cooked to order and paired well with the tasty sides. We came to Frank’s Outback to celebrate our anniversary and the “outback” gave us the romantic atmosphere we were looking for with all the trees, tents and dazzling lights. The evening just kept getting better when we selected the 14 layer caramel cake with ice cream and caramel drizzle. This dessert was one of the best we have ever eaten. Thank you Frank’s Outback and Isabel for making our dinner the perfect evening celebration! We hope to see y’all again soon!

    Every aspect done to perfection! This is how dining out should be! Entrées, sauces, side dishes were flawless in their temperature and flavors. Multiple staff members meant our wine, waters, and needs were seamlessly attended to. Laura, our waitperson guided us to a great wine to accompany our dinners. Only suggestion, we would have preferred a less soft bread with a french style of crispier crust. Advise making reservation far in advance.

    Dinner was delicious. I had the lamb chops exactly the way I wanted them. My husband had a grouper which was delicious. He said I just think it’s a little expensive. We received a gift card for Christmas and that’s why we went.

    Wow, Long drive but so very worth it. The ambiance was fantastic and the food was amazing. What a great choice for my husband, Frank’s birthday. Whenever we have out of town guests, we are definitely bringing them here.
