Spicy CFA sammich is bangin.

Most disappointing item was the Arch Deluxe.

dang he just brought up the Arch Deluxe

wow what a throw back

1/9/2012 8:42:08 PM

Don't get me wrong, I still love Outback 'cause it's not crazy expensive and still a decent steak.

It's just not what it used to be.

Plus ever since I started working out and watching what I eat etc... it's hard to go there and find something decent without giving yourself a heart attack. haha (Lookin at YOU you delicious Bloomin Onion)

1/10/2012 10:58:57 AM

yeah talk about butter and salt. the veggies don't even taste like veggies anymore.

1/10/2012 11:09:12 AM

if you can't find something healthy to eat at Outback, you're doing it wrong.

1/10/2012 11:10:04 AM

i'm going there for lunch

i like to stuff bloomin onion parts inside the loaf of bread

1/10/2012 11:10:31 AM

usually you can ask to get the vegetables and potatoes plain at any restaurant.


of course, if i'm going out to order a plain potato and veggies i'd probably save some $ and make it myself

...and so completes the cognitive decision cycle of TWW shut ins.

1/10/2012 11:15:47 AM

just order double broccoli or double green beans and a salad with balsamic, then chow down on your steak/chicken.

1/10/2012 11:18:07 AM

if you are worried about eating healthy when you go to outback, then you go out to eat entirely too much.

1/10/2012 11:19:50 AM

I personally don't like to leave outback with the feeling that I need to lay down and let the insulin coma subside.

If you go to Outback looking to eat healthy, you're doing it wrong.

1/10/2012 11:23:07 AM

i'm not a shut in! but a steak is not something i generally go out for. i'm pretty sure i've already said stuff like this in this or other threads. meh

or you have specific dietary needs that have to be addressed.

1/10/2012 11:34:02 AM

We have this girl with like 500 food allergies in our "group" that usually goes out, and she fucks everything up. "No, its got peanuts in it! WAIT..is that gluten free? Are you SURE this doesn't have dairy?" It gets to the point where its almost not even fun anymore.

1/10/2012 11:37:08 AM

I like outback steakhouse quite a bit but i don't get steaks there because i can make a better one myself. I don't go there much because its a cesspool of rednecks and fat people.

part of the reason i like going to places like outback is that i enjoy being one of the smallest & least trashy looking women in the restaurant

Funny, I thought TWW was almost entirely comprised of rednecks and fat people

1/10/2012 12:06:13 PM

Noooo really?

1/10/2012 1:48:47 PM

i'm going to skip this whole page and point out that you need not trifle with the chick-fil-a spicy chicken because the biscuitville spicy chicken biscuit is "back" (make it permanent damn it )

I don't hate the CFA spicy chicken sammich, but overall if I want a spicy chicken sammich I'll get a regular CFA, then take the patty off the bun, put it in the empty wrapper bag, pour a container of buffalo sauce on it and shake it up.

Then I put it back on the bun and top with ranch.

I do that about 50% of my CFA visits, the other 50% I just put that honey roasted BBQ sauce on them, that stuff is amazing.

I hadnt had CFA in over a year (Closest is Boise, ID...I live in western WA) and I tried the Spicy sandwich with extra pickles and I liked it a lot. They don't have chicken joints over here, besides your occasional Popeyes or Churchs

I used to put Zaxbys as better than CFA, but I went there also while I was back home and its gone down the shitter in the last 5-6 years.

I just don't eat steak when I go out anymore unless its at a non-chain store. If I go out its for Mexican or Sushi or some Teriyaki.

1/10/2012 6:37:11 PM

^^oooo good idea

1/10/2012 11:27:27 PM

Outback serves "choice" grade beef by the way.

1/10/2012 11:52:47 PM

Good place to get a mediocre steak.

Although they always cook it the way I want it, so no complaints here. For the price range, I'd give them a A-

[Edited on January 10, 2012 at 11:58 PM. Reason : a]

1/10/2012 11:57:24 PM

I've never been to Outback without someone else paying for the meal. When the meal is free, I'm a bit less critical.

I'd never go there on my own bill--I don't really go out for steaks, it's so much more affordable (and tastier) to cook your own steaks. That tired excuse aside though, I will say that Outback is one of the only places that will give me a "very rare" steak when I ask for it. none of that medium rare bullshit.

1/11/2012 12:20:19 AM

The GF likes her steaks that way. She always asks the waitress if they could just walk it past the grill. I can't do it. Medium-rare for this guy.

1/11/2012 12:43:48 AM

I go there when we are meeting friends since it's one of the few places that does gluten free stuff reliably. Otherwise, I'll just have a frozen meal because I'm a cheap bastard.

this is brilliant.

1/11/2012 1:05:33 PM

Well Outback isn't Ruth's Chris, its not bad for what you get and what you get is the same no matter which Outback you go too; this in itself makes it pretty decent. My biggest gripe is that the amount of food (like shrimp skewers) has waned over the last 5 years but they still charge about the same.

1/11/2012 1:16:52 PM

I'm doing Outback takeout for Valentines Day.

JUDGE ME TWW.

I recently ate at Outback. Their side salad bowl has now turned into a slightly concave plate. Pretty soon you'll be able to get a piece of lettuce and a crouton as a side salad.

I have a giftcard, maybe I'll have a mediocre steak dinner tomorrow.

2/15/2012 1:21:09 AM

my family is Australian, they came to visit us 9 years ago, they requested that we eat at outback so they could see what they thought of australians. Then they pestered the waiters by asking facts about australia, the cuisine, and animals. It was pretty funny

2/15/2012 1:23:52 AM

now I want a steak and some green beans and broccoli

2/15/2012 1:35:07 AM

unlimited shrimp?

Good bang for your buck as far as steaks go.

9/4/2013 2:32:03 PM

You wanna know a place that's really gone downhill? Fucking red lobster man. They used to have a nice array of yummy seafood, now it's all greasy and bland. I'll be ok if I never step in one again. Only good thing is those dam biscuits.

9/4/2013 2:36:02 PM

^ Agreed. I recently went to Red Lobster because I had gotten a gift card from a coworker. The shrimp was literally dripping with grease, and both me and the GF got sick that night. I e-mailed the GM of the location to tell him about it. He offered me another gift card, I declined.

this, and when i'm in a yolo mood i'll even add a lobster tail

9/4/2013 2:51:22 PM

Outback, Olive Garden, Red Lobster are all in the same boat for me.

I'm sure that none of these are new developments, but I have only have the "treat" of eating at an olive garden and an outback recently. Both were terrible and felt like they were watering themselves down to fast food sitdown.

I'm sure Bonefish isn't far behind.

9/4/2013 2:53:36 PM

^^^ when I go to Red Lobster I just order a water and eat enough biscuits to get full, then leave before they ask me about my entree

[Edited on September 4, 2013 at 2:54 PM. Reason : add another note]

9/4/2013 2:53:53 PM

i don't understand why people in this part of the world go to red lobster when there are buttloads of better seafood restaurants around.

9/4/2013 4:06:48 PM

^ This

Also include Olive Garden and Outback in that statement for being able to find better Italian and Steakhouses

9/4/2013 4:09:50 PM

Can you name some of the boatloads of Seafood restraunts around? I can't really think of many except the few other chains: Bonefish, McCormick & Schmidt...Shuckers, ....Captain Stanley's

9/4/2013 4:13:55 PM

Or just chains in general...go someplace local. The food and environment is always better.
