  Let me tell you about a fall from grace.
  
  Outback steakhouse in Ledgewood NJ has been my celebration haunt and favorite restaurant in general since at least 2006.
  
  I’ve gone with my friends and family for nearly every event. There were even periods where I was going once per week for months at a time with my friends. I just love the food.
  
  However, over the years the quality has been on the decline. It has become entirely too inconsistent for me to order things without taking that into consideration. That doesn’t only apply to the food either, but to the service.
  
  Some nights I show up and our waiter or waitress is really on point.
  Other times the server disappears for very long periods of time leaving drink glasses empty for long enough for everyone to start noticing.
  
  I try to take into account how busy a place is when these issues happen but it really doesn’t seem to matter. I’ve had great service during busy times and lousy service during slow times.
  
  Then there is the food. I was able to say confidently at one time “I’ve never had a bad steak from Outback.” But no longer. Every time I order a steak I’m rolling the dice.
  
  A few months ago they were running the 22oz Ribeye steak. I tired it and it was the best steak I ever had. The following week I had it again and my plate was filled of fat and gristle at the end that I spent an uncomfortably long time cutting away.
  
  Ribs have suffered from the same treatment. Will they be fall off the bone delicious? Or tough and slightly foul tasting?
  
  A week ago me and my friends stopped in. Service was exceptionally slow, steak was not good. Took us 2 hours from the time we sat down to when we left.
  
  On the drive home we started to discuss how Outback just isn’t the awesome place it use to be and we really should start to look at it a bit more objectively. So it’s with a heavy heart that I say we will be abstaining from future visits for awhile.
