IMO..their food has slipped alot since I started going to them...the Steaks are ok..the Prime Rib is good...the Blooming Onion is still good...
IF you have one in your area...goto Longhorn Steak house..heads and shoulders above Outback... |

Worst damn menu I've seen in a long while. Walked out of one a while back because there wasn't a thing on the menu that sparked my appetite.

If you went to Hooters instead, you wouldn't be asking this question. Wings or breasts?

Lame restaurant. Should spend less money on their ads and more on hiring someone who can cook.

Yeah, that was another reason I walked out. It's a typical chain restaurant that charges more than anyone else. Only time I eat there is if I'm the company tab. The rack of lamb is good. |

The last time we were there, we got the kiddos a kids steak meal to split...well done, you know the e-coli thing
1st meal that came looked like they hit with a flamethower and then napalmed it.. 2nd meal that came out looked like they stuck it in a blacksmith's furnace.... 3rd time...we said forget it....the kids had eaten so much of my steak that they were full...not one apology from the server.... that will be the last trip there for us... |

+1. I also don't care for the 45 minute wait on the porch for an open table. The sight of all the people waiting to be seated is deceiving; it makes you think there is something in the resturaunt that justifies the long wait. There isn't. The food is average at best, and their steaks have more fat than Rosie O'donnel. Texas Roadhouse or O'Charley's is much better. |

Now we're talking! These other guys don't know what they are talking about. The Outback Special steak is one of the best you can buy. I love 'em. It's my favorite meal. But then I'm a Texan and I love dead cow flesh.

Fixed it for you. Their steaks are precooked somewhere other than the restaurant. At the actual restuarant all they do is heat them up. I found this out when they were having 2 for 1 beers. I ordered a medium rare and was told they were out but had rare, medium well, and well. The Outback is great for people who bbq using gas grills. Gas grills are for commies. |

A few years back I went with some buddies to a Philippino restaurant in Northern VA. Great food, cheap, great service by a little hottie waitress. Next door was an Outback Steakhouse with a line out the door the whole time we were there.

Wanna try something GREAT?? When at Outback ask for the Prime Rib OUTBACK STYLE. They take the cut of Prime Rib and add their spices to it and sear it for a few seconds on the grill. Add creamy horseradish and Au Jus and you are ready to go.

Yikes, I sure have. More than one of them at Outback. Personally I haven't met anyone yet that can make a steak that I like more than one I prepare myself. The closest I ever had was a Fillet Mignon at a wedding reception at a high-class country club outside of NYC. It was simply amazing. |

Many local ordinances now block 'rare' meat from being sold. Other places, it is the owner of the restaraunt afraid of being sued.
I've never encountered this at any of the Outbacks that I've visited save one, at that one they wouldn't serve a rare or medium-rare steak, only medium or further along. That was not their choice, it was the town. I wasn't happy as I prefer rare or medium-rare. I like the Victoria's Filet (Mignon). Good cut of meat, and their seasoning combination suits it well. The blooming onion is a greasy, delicious mess of an appetizer like any other fried food. Making me hungry already. |

Its too cheesy though. The "Australia" it portrays is so sterotypical and touristy. |

You gotta be shittin' me. Are you serious? He wasn't making a joke, was he? BTW, gas grills may not have quite the flavor of charcoal ones, but they are so much cleaner and easier to use that it's totally worth it. If I want a super-special steak, I cook it in the kitchen anyway. |

There NY Strip is always good when I get it. They always get it rare, never overcooked which always seems to happen at most other resturants. Pre-cooked or not its still good.
Now Texas Steakhouse's Steaks.....

1) Victorias Filet
2) Alice Spring Chicken Now I have to go there tonight .Like 223Devil said, it's good steak for the price. You could get better steak from an independently owned steakhouse, but you'll also pay more. I like Outback alot, never had a problem with them, other than the wait sometimes. |

I go to Outback whenever I am come across one. When I was in Afghanistan in 2002, Outback donated steaks, bluming onions, cheese cake and the all the fixings and sent an entire staff from a restaurant near DC to come and cook and serve it to us. Imagine if you will a mess hall that serves 5000 troops with civy cooks who just got off a C17 and are experiencing culture shock. The watresses brought us drinks (non alcoholic) and the manager came around and chatted with everyone. I had an incredible meal and remember it fondly. Every single person from Outback who came over made it their personal mission to thank us all for being there in Afghanistan and did everything they could to give us a break. They will always have my loyality.
Unfortunately they don't have one near my post, but if given a choice I always go to Outback.... Jeff |

Close, but no cigar. They have precut steaks of different thickness. The thickest ones are rare, and they use thinner ones depending on how well you'd like them done. I'm not sure why the cook in that case couldn't have used a slightly less thick steak and cooked it less, however. |

I'm kinda like norman74 in that I've only had ONE steak that I did not cook myself that I thought was better than I can do. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, $35 porterhouse. Inch and a half thick, aged to perfection.
Everytime I've tried to go to the Outback here there's a 20-30 minute wait. I DON'T WAIT THAT LONG TO EAT ANYWHERE. So, maybe their food IS good, but I ain't gonna be knocking anybody aside to eat there when I can grill up a great steak myself for $10-$12 or less. |

You, sir, are quite mistaken. Perhaps you are confusing steak with prime rib(which happens more often than you'd think!). Prime rib is the only precooked meat at Outback Steakhouse. The kitchen manager is tasked to make sure that he loads the prime rib in the morning in such a way that there will be all temperatures (R-MR-M-MW-W) throughout the shift. Sometimes the amount and temperatures that are ordered are atypical and the kitchen may run out of a specific temperature as the night progresses, and the rare temperatures are usually the first to be "86'd". I can assure you all that STEAKS ARE NOT PRECOOKED AT OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE!!!! BTW, I've worked in over a dozen restaurants as a cook and manager and Outback has by far the best quality product out there for a corporate chain restaurant. Just about everything is made in house, all the dressings, all the sauces, the side dishes, even the frickin' chips (french fries). The amount of time and craftmanship put into the salad croutons is mind-boggling. Out of all the hundreds of Outbacks in the US, there are going to be some where management drops the ball and allows substandard plates reach the dining table, but they are few and far between. 82d, to answer your question, the Outback Rack (lamb) is good. The cabernet sauce it comes with is worth the price of admission. It's one of the few sauces I've copied and used at home without altering for my own use (it makes venison taste even better than normal!). A newer item is the Cyclone Chicken which is pretty daing good and if you like pasta, the Toowoomba Pasta (crawfish, shrimp, mushrooms) is quite yummy as well. As far as steaks, the ouback special is the best value out there for sirloin. If your Outback has the Prime Menu, nothing beats a prime tenderloin or strip. The combination of Outback seasoning and the cuts used make any steak on the menu a winner. |
