Editorial Review for Outback Steakhouse – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.

I went here for dinner back in the summer of 2007 and i experienced the toughest prime rib EVER. I let the manager know and he recommended choosing the ribeye instead. So i did. It was edible, but without doubt one of the toughest ribeye I've ever eaten. They were very nice (the management) but i stayed away after experiencing such low quality meats. I tried them again last week, when i craved their bread. They have some new menu items. One is the new 16 oz. bone-in ribeye. The waitress said it was heads above their regular ribeye, so i tried it. It was GREAT! Cooked to perfection and one of the most tender cuts below Prime i've ever tried. The grilled lobster tail was also delicious, as was the sweet potato. I'm going back tonight with my workmates. The price is $22.95, so a little higher than most are used to for Outback steaks, but so very worth the quality.
Pros: Great bone-in ribeye and friendly service
Cons: a little loud sometimes
