I find it funny that there’s at LEAST 3 postings from people who work for Outback. The food is not good nor is it good for you. Wait until the nutritional content has to be labeled in the menu. All of these fast-casual dining places will have to spend a fortune retooling their menus.

I like how alot of the people who ate at Outback say the EXACT amount of times they’ve eaten there….not a fan of the company, but it does serve good food at a decent price. There is lobster AND mushroom in the sauce, and it isn’t 5 star dining. It’s affordable for people, especially in that overpriced hell that is Vegas. Which, by the way, I love.

About 14 years ago when I was pretty much broke, I had a damn good hamburger at an Outback in Louisiana. Perhaps it was my hunger or that I wasn’t paying for it, but I can say that although my wallet and culinary lexicon have certainly advanced to where I probably wouldn’t go in an Outback now, I certainly savored that moment and Hamburger back then. It serves it’s purpose.

The biggest reason for Outback’s success is PRICE! Esepcailly with the economy being what it is, most familiies will trade quality for price. To get what they think is a decent steak with all the trimmings for under $25 (and sometimes under $20) is very important to most people. Quality I have learned is not as important and most really don’t know (or care) as long as the steak is not too ‘chewy’ and a generous portion. That is all they care about. Remember ‘Steak and Ale’ and ‘Steak and Brew’? Cheap meat and cheap suds. Ever notice how many people line up for that “steak’ at Ellis Island? Need I say more?

Never ate there, probably never will. As an Australian, my only hope is that no one ever believes that any of the food served there is representative of my country. Baby back ribs? Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla? Isn’t quesadilla mexican? Bloomin’ onion? The hell IS that?

Thanks, atdleft. We’re always up for trying out new pizza joints! Found one in Temecula called Fillipi’s Pizza Grotto. Great pizza, friendly server.

RC-

It’s OK. I’m not judging you. There have been times I’ve felt good after a meal at Cheesecake Factory, and there have been times when “breakfast” means a quick stop at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. It’s just that I like supporting local eateries as often as possible, and that I find it fun to occasionally hop up The Strip to eat somewhere exciting.

I’ve just never found anything decent at Outback, but that’s my opinion. The great thing about this blog is that Mr. ELV offers his suggestions, then we debate and discuss.

And btw, did you see my above comment on local suggestions? Off The Strip is a great location for great meals (including steak!) at great prices. Even on The Strip, you’ll be surprised by the deals you’ll find at places like First at The Palazzo and Society at Encore.

Oh, and have fun in San Diego! The food scene there has really grown up in the last few years, so try ditching Outback and tasting the true local flavors there. India Palace is a fabulous Indian spot in the city… And if you can drive up PCH for some awesome pizza, try Besta-Wan and/or East Coast Pizza in Encinitas.

I’ve had both good and mediocre meals at Outback. I don’t go there very often, but when I do I keep it simple. No toppings or grill sauce on the steak, no bloomin’ onion; just MR meat, a baked potato and a beer. I used to like their chopped salad, but it was pretty awful the last time I went. If you have the bucks to pay $50 and up for a steak, more power to ya. Just don’t write it off as a business expense when it’s not. : P My new current faves are MRKT Land and Sea and Del Frisco’s. I only get to go to Del Friscos when it’s a company function, though. My woman is taking us to San Diego for my birthday next month. We’ve been many times, but we’re always looking for new good places to eat. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
