If you didn't know any better, you would think Outback meant cooking steaks "out back in your yard" or something. Just in case you really don't know, Outback is a region in Australia :)
Anyhoo, we had a gift card, and so felt much obliged to visit this chain. To drink, I ordered the margarita trio: Three 4 oz. samples of fruity pomegranate, mango and lime made with El Jimador Reposado Tequila. Very good and got a nice buzz from them.
Then came the caesar salad. It was decent.
We split the entree: 11oz open flamed seared sirloin (cooked medium) with shrimp on the barbie; and we added-on coconut shrimp. Our 2 sides where garlic mash potatoes and french fries.
First of all, it was alot of food. So glad we split! And I hate to sound like some sort of steak snob, but I usually won't go lower than Ruth Chris or Flemmings for steak, with places like Maestro's and Harris topping my list. Well, I learned my lesson on that type of attitude! I was very suprised at how perfectly the steak was cooked and how tasty it was. The garlic mash was appetizing and the french fries were... just french fries.
I wanted to order dessert but I was too full.
We had a great dinner here. Service was efficient. Atmosphere was typical chain like feel, not bad really. Great budget friendly steakhouse that I will come back to when that steak crave kicks in and I don't feel like dropping $$$$ for meat.
