text: I'd never been to an Outback Steakhouse before. Won't bother again.\n\nAppies were nasty - deep fried mushrooms and an onion flower. Salty, dull, tough.\n\nMy companions both had racks of ribs and seemed to enjoy them. I had a rib eye steak, which probably could have been very nice had it not been immersed in a salty rub.\n\nThe atmosphere is very dated, second-rate, typical theme restaurant, and the Australian theme is pretty laughable. Other than a couple of decent Australian beers (Boags and Coopers) you won't find anything here that you can't get at just about any other mid-range steakhouse in America. You can't even get a burger with a slice of pickled beetroot and a fried egg.
