They were like $3 on Thursday’s at The Library.  We often started Thursday nights with a couple of those.  

Nice. I must have missed those, but I didn’t go The Library very often. I remember Paradise made a really good Texas Tea.

Wasn't the Mexican Martini just basically a margarita in a shaker with orange juice? No wonder they had to limit us at two. Man, I generally like our Generation but that was a bad era for us.

Had Outback a month or so ago (80yr old mom's favorite spot) and it couldn't have been worse.  On a slow Saturday lunch, w/ maybe 20% of tables sat, it took damn near an hour to get our orders and my ribeye was ass.  If I have to suffer that place again, I'll go w/ that smashburger.

Outback has always been proprietor-driven. If the proprietor is present and worth a shit, the Outback tends to be consistent and worth it. If not, the place sucks. I worked at the one near the Arboretum in the 90’s and that place was clean and terrific. Back then, they were pushing big on expansion and began watering down the talent and qualifications of who they let buy-in for new locations. It became hit or miss depending upon location. 

If I’m out in Katy for some baseball tournament or other terrible reason, they have a good one. The one in Sugarland is solid. Others in Houston suck and the one near the Arboretum sucks last time I went also. 

That said, my kids love visiting them every time. It’s the least expensive option for a potentially good steak available, in my mind.

Good Mexican martinis involve lime juice and little to no actual mix. It’s far less sweet than a margarita. Add olive brine and it’s an entirely different taste and experience. Orange juice may or may not make it into either ritas or Mexican martinis, depending upon where you’re buying.
