I had dismissed the chain from my list of favored restaurants when they got rid of Toowoomba Pasta many years ago. That left sweet potatoes as my only option on the menu. Mind you, I never ordered steak when eating out as it was never cooked to my liking, until recently. This location presented an opportunity to visit during soft openings.\n\nBack to my long-awaited visit to Outback. We were a party of 30+, a fete not easily managed. We served a portion of menu items including:\n\nAussie Bloom: Topped with fries and sirloin = 1/5\nAussie Cheese Fries (not for me): 3/5\nMixed veggies: zucchini, squash, and carrots = 5/5\nSirloin: Sliced prior to serving (rare) = 2/5\nGrilled Shrimp = 2/5\nLobster Tails: perfectly cooked = 5/5\nSalmon cakes served with mixed vegetables = 4/5\nLemonade: 1/5 \nChocolate Cake: Lush deliciousness! 5/5\nBoomerang Beer Flight (paired with foods). I am not much of a beer drinker but I appreciate the effort = 3/5\nBlackberry Sangria = 4/5\n\nGiven the above, I would opt for a lobster tail, sweet potato, and grilled veggies. For dessert, I would definitely go with the chocolate cake. As the menu is not a la carte, I don't plan to visit Outback anytime soon. However, I may make an exception for a late night snack of chocolate cake with a nice glass of wine!"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
