Tabor’s Taste: Outback Steakhouse

This week I went to Outback Steakhouse. This restaurant is Australian themed, with boomerangs and pictures of kangaroos everywhere. If you go on a Friday or over the weekend, Outback will usually be packed with people, so you will have to wait. The good thing is that it’s a big restaurant that moves pretty quickly, so you will usually have to wait about 10-15 minutes maximum.

When you get to your table your waiter/waitress will give you some really great bread with butter, so luckily you don’t have to wait for appetizers. For my dinner, I got a fillet (steak) that comes with a salad for an appetizer. For my side dish I got some cheese fries that have bacon bits on them. First I ate my salad, it was ok, I mean it tasted like all the other salads I’ve had. Finally I got my steak. Their steak is unbelievably good. It’s so juicy, and so flavorful. When you first eat it you get a flavor of garlic an onion. And as it goes down your throat it has a spicy kick to it, like chili peppers. Then I ate my cheese fries. When they say cheese fries they mean it, there is an enormous pile of cheese on them. I think there’s way to much cheese on them, I mean its hard enough just to find one french fry in the giant pile of cheese. Now it’s time for desert so I ordered a spotted dog sundae, which is vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate syrup, cookies and cream, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Now doesn’t that just make your mouth water? It made mine. The sundae was so delicious, I loved it and all the chocolate in it. But it is very filling so leave some room for it.

Overall I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. It’s not just a steakhouse; they also serve seafood, chicken, etc. But this restaurant is pretty pricy, so if you’re on a tight budget I would not recommend this place for you. I give this restaurant a 9 out of 10.
