Yeah but chick's think its a classy joint, and you don't really have to pay classy joint prices because most chicks wont buy a huge ass filet. That's the only reason I've ever gone. I've never had a reasonable steak there either.

It's sad when you live in bumfuck and that's considered a good place to eat. Kinda like me. The Longhorn across the street has the same quality of steak for a higher price.

outback is...sub-par but they've had decent specials in the past for vets so they're ok.
|
|
never had a problem with that place. i know its not aussie. though... i wouldnt mind trying some roo burgers
|
|
Same reasons you don't see Mexicans who pine for authentic grub at Taco Bell? Or Italians at Olive Garden?

I have always enjoyed the food at Outback. The chili cheese fries are great. I think it had a slightly better Australian menu back when it first opened than it does now.
Chicks do like it. My wife and daughters in law love going there. |

Because it's only OK to lampoon other cultures for marketing and profit as long as they're white?
Can you imagine Outback -same menu, same service, same everything - but reskinned as "Bushman's Steakhouse" with a Zulu theme? OMG, racism! Right? I've had steaks and beer in Australia. Neither have a single thing in common with anything on the menu at Outback. |
|
Me and one of my ex wives ate at outback once. I sent a t-bone back 3 times. Worst steak I've ever paid to have cooked.
Never again. |
|
Steak. We have that here. Shrimp. We have that here. Salad. Chicken. Onions. Fish. What exactly is Australian about it? They don't serve wombat or kangaroo, and you can get Foster's at any liquor store. Why the hell would they go?

One of my favorite places to go is The Bush Camp. It's in the Congo, so it's a bit of a long drive from the US. |

I don't recall Outback every saying they serve authentic Australian food. It's an Australian themed restaurant.
|
|
I like their food, but I do note the food quality and portion sizes are in decline in recent years.
|
|
I've never walked out of one saying "that sucked for what I paid."
I can't say the same about Ruth's Chris. Still, the best steak I've ever eaten was a Filet from Omaha Steaks that I ate at my parent's house. Awesome. |

It's decent. It, as has been said, is an Australian THEMED restaurant, not necessarily representing actual Australian cuisine...

The 12oz house steak and a couple Newcastles is what my happy is made of.

Quoted: Same reasons you don't see Mexicans who pine for authentic grub at Taco Bell? Or Italians at Olive Garden? Yeah I don't think anyone has claimed that Outback has authentic Australian food (whatever that would be) it's just a gimmick. Steak is okay for that kind of establishment. |
|
I never eat at that fucking place. Overpriced and mediocre at best. I like Logan's and Texas Steakhouse.

We've had a couple of the Australian members here post that they go to Outback when they want American food.

Outback has nothing to do with Australia. The guys who started it were from Orlando or something.
that being said, we have a software development team from Sydney, EVERY Time they come to town we always take them to outback because we know they are missing their "food from back home". they HATE it. We always have to lie to them that we're going somewhere else then drive there anyway, it's great. Oh and they also all hate Fosters. They it's swill beer in Aus. I, however, love outback. one of my favorite restaurants. |

Its about as Australian as taco bell is Mexican.
ETA::damn, I was beat, by a long shot. |
