I ate at Outback last night AMA

Friend,

1. Did you get the cheese fries?
2. Why do you prefer medium rare over rare?
3. How many loaves of bread did you eat?
4. Which Outback?
5. Are you on vacation or doing CME?
6. Did you put extra butter on your steak?
7. What toppings did you have on your potato?
8. How many glasses of water did you drink (high sodium content there)?
9. How long did you have to wait for a table?
10. When you return, would you like to take me to the Outback on Severn for a critics' comparison?


I too enjoy Outback. Not as much as Golden Corral, however. Outback's steaks are never big enough. I need at least 50 oz of beef for satiation.

This board shits on chains. Rightfully so usually. But I eat at Outback maybe once a year when out of town and there is an Outback next to my hotel. Have never had a bad experience.

Wedge salad - average piece of lettuce but above average bleu cheese with nice chunks of cheese

Ribeye perfect medium rare, good flavor

Solid baked potato

Glass of average Cab

Total with tip $35. A “good” steakhouse would be at least twice that. Service was polite and prompt.

Not a damn thing wrong with Outback

I have never had an issue at Outback. The same can be said for Texas Roadhouse here in Alexandria. It is affordable and food is consistently good.

The wife and I eat at very nice steak places all the time and I'm constantly disappointed over the flavor of $60 ribeyes in comparison to the $24 ribeyes at Outback. And they have a blooming onion. You're correct, with only a couple exceptions, I'd choose Outback over most of the expensive places most of the time.

Crab cakes are pretty good as well

I occasionally go for sone Walkabout Soup.

Outback is consistent AF.

If I’m traveling for work and not in a cool city with good local options, I destroy some outback.

IMO, as far as chains go that aren't "higher end" like Capital Grille, Flemings, etc Logan's steak >>> Outback and other comparable chains. Maybe it has changed because I don't think I have eaten at either in at least 5 years.

Texas Roadhouse in Lake Chuck is always packed. That used to make sense but now that we have better steakhouse options I can't figure it out. I have never eaten at one.
