Had dinner at Outback Steakhouse
We haven't been there in a really long time, decided to head over there
after attending the county fair. Shared a blooming onion and I ordered a roasted beef filet with port sauce and mushrooms. Now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any mushrooms. It came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. However, when it arrived, there were the (very good) mashed potatoes and a good size portion of haricots vert. Holy crow, I don't know what was up with them, but they were fabulous. I wish I finished them. Darned tasty they were. Don't tell anyone, I gave up trying to eat them with a fork and took to using my fingers. Hey ... if it's okay for asparagus, it's good enough for the green beans. I'm sticking with that story, you're supposed to eat them with your fingers. nancy |

I really don't know if you'll like it. They have a nice rack of lamb, if you like that. Anyway, the place was hopping! People were piled up waiting for a table. What recession? Yikes. nancy |

Do you know whether they serve Australian beef or U.S. beef? There's never been a case of Mad Cow Disease in Australia. That would be a good reason to go there. I haven't had any beef in about a year, and I'd really like some. |

SWMBO and I grill various things like asparagus and fresh green beans, on iron, and do the same. Delish. Bout the OS. Been to our local, wasn't much. Steaks were poor, service indifferent. More ambience than substance. Onion was nice, but greasy. Must be a local thing.... Alex |

Because Peter Lucas -- that self-appointed spokesperson for Aussie cuisine -- believes that if it isn't eye filet it might as well be a plank of oak. And if you paid more than a dollar fifty, he'll tell you that he could have gotten it cheaper. > It came with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Sometimes it's better than other times, and for what it is, I like it better than in other places that serve it. In no way is it good for you. It's not really my thing, but I had some of it. nancy |

If I was in a booth, I really wouldn't care. We sat at the bar, though, and this woman came in and sat rightnexttome. I had a hard time cutting my steak, then I was picking my beans off my plate with my fingers. Sorry, lady. My manners suck tonight. nancy |

I've been in an OS once, but not being a beef lover, I found little else to choose from. I think there was one shrimp dish on the menu and maybe one chicken. I went with a group, no knowing what to expect. I hear that blooming onion is a cardiologist's nightmare, no? |

I thought there were a number of chicken and shrimp dishes, but I really didn't pay attention as I was looking for steak. Looked up the menu, they have a variety of foods, but maybe all menus are not the same. I had to put in my zip to find the menu for the place I visited. > I hear that blooming onion is a cardiologist's nightmare, no? Aside from being an onion, this is not health food. Each one is plenty for at least 4 people. I think anyone eating one by themselves would be a Bad Idea. Heh. It's like anything else, too much is too much. nancy |

Oh live a little... millions of people (and thousands of them RIGHT WHERE YOU LIVE) eat beef every day and don't get sick from it. Go ahead, take chance,.... go for it. |

I go to Outback maybe once or twice per year on average, but lately I've not been there for about 3 years as I'm on a budget of both money and calories. <g> I think one once in awhile is NOT going to kill you! -- Peace!

Steaks were >poor, service indifferent. More ambience than substance. I'll second that. And, I think that's what a lot of others found here in Ontario, Canada. All nine of the Outback Steakhouse locations in Ontario were closed back in March 2009. Their website says 'The decision to exit Ontario was a difficult one, and it was made only after considerable reflection and analysis.' Translation: Our customer base fell off to the point where we weren't making a profit. Ross. |
