The first good Outback. Holy crap, I've never been to an Outback Steakhouse that serves food this well cooked until now. This place has really upped its game; typically, Outback is only so-so, but I've been to this one a couple of times and it's never disappointed. The staff is great, and the cooks are apparently artists of their trade. I'm really impressed. Even though the atmosphere is really casual, the food is really great.

Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor.. 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.

Incredible food. Outback is one of my favorite restaurants. When I hunger for a steak, that's the place I think of first. The food is always top-notch; I've never been disappointed in the slightest. The biggest drawback is that it's not a quiet, romantic spot for dining. When compared to other similar restaurants, such as Lone Star and Ned Kelly's, the ambience is as good if not better. It's an active, occasionally noisy restaurant, but the food and service more than make up for it.
