I think it depends on the particular franchise. I was at one 2 weeks ago that served me an excellent New York strip. I like their fried pickles too.
But yeah, they usually are mediocre at best. |

I dated an Australian girl who lived in Los Angeles when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. She thought Outback Steakhouse was hilarious and asked if she could have a menu to send home to her friends down under. When I was in Brisbane I didn't see anyone drinking Fosters. Which is considered like Natty Light. Everyone was drinking VD and XXXX. As far as the food goes, it isn't Australian, its cheap corporate chain food. No vegemite, tea, musk candy, sausage rolls or meat pies. And thats the fair dinkum mate.

Outback is great for a $10-$12 meal. (My fiancee and I get the 6oz sirloin + sides).
ETA: they also have a readily available gluten free menu and have never f'ed up an order for my fiancee (she has celiac). I can't say the same for some classier, more expensive joints who claim their food is gluten free then my fiancee gets a massive headache before we leave. This normally means the food she's consumed contains gluten. I pretty much raise hell at that point. |

I worked at an Aussie pie shop and the Aussies who came in there fresh off the boat often would ask me if I knew about this so called "Outback" steak house and order a pie or sausage roll or whatever.
Seems the real deal Aussies like places run by Aussies with REAL Aussie food.......Whoda thunk it?

Don't get me wrong, it's not great and I can cook a steak better, but they are everywhere and pretty consistent. They are a safe bet when you're out of town.

America: make all the world's shitty ethnic food better since 1776. So true. Don't get me wrong, some of it is good in its own right, and some is actually even better... Americanized German food, for instance, fucking blows compared to real German food. But that's an aberration. Most of the time it's a case like Mexican food. That really good stuff everybody loves here in the US? That's Mexican food significantly altered for a Texan palate. Real Mexican food is often dry, bland, and extremely blah. It's interesting just to try it out every now and then but it's certainly no treat like Tex-Mex. |
