A restaurant tried to pull a switch-a-roo on the type of meat I was served.

So a group of us went to a local popular American chain steakhouse restaurant and all ordered different dishes. I ordered a filet, when my food arrived, I thought the steak looked more like a sirloin than a filet.

Upon taking my first bite it was chewy and not buttery like a filet. It was supposed to be an 8oz filet, it was more like 12oz sirloin, 2nd bite confirmed it was definitely not a filet.

I must’ve been visibly upset because the manager walked over and asked if everything was ok, to which I questioned the cut. She said it was a filet (but I think she went based on the toppings that are only offered on the filet). I said hmm ok, I guess.

She offered to switch it if I was not happy, I said it was fine, however, she insisted, so I accepted.. The second steak was a filet, appearance, taste and texture.. only the cook made it EXTRA peppery for me.. jokes on them I appreciated the extra pepper :)

Wait, so...they didn't fix it??? And you paid your bill and just accepted it? Sorry if it sounds like im blaming you, just wondering the outcome. Im never going back to Outback, either (ordered ribeyes, supposed to be the most flavorful, juicy steak, and they charge accordingly- only they didn't render ANY- and I mean ANY- of the fat- so it was a little bit of meat with giant globs of fat, so gross).

Didn't fix it! He's Canadian so he's too nice by default LOL. I just asked to box it up so we could actually cook it at home. Terrible.
