Outback Steakhouse is a well-known and well-loved Australian-styled steakhouse, featuring a huge variety of steaks, burgers and seafood items, amongst others. The range of items is indeed impressive - we spent almost 15 minutes poring over the menu, unsure of what to order as everything looked so good!We finally settled on a good mix of appetizers and combos, allowing us to sample a bit of everything Outback has to offer.

We finally settled on a good mix of appetizers and combos, allowing us to sample a bit of everything Outback has to offer. The Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla consisted of a tortilla stuffed with grilled chicken, mushrooms, bacon and cheese, accompanied by a honey mustard sauce. While the quesadillas were overall toasty and delicious, the morsels of grilled chicken breast were unfortunately rather tough and dry. A good dollop of the honey mustard sauce masked this flaw well enough though.
We also had the Aussie Cheese Fries, topped with Monterey Jack, Cheddar and bacon. A ranch dressing was served on the side. This was a plate of good old greasy cheesy goodness, so sinful but so timelessly good.
We ordered a Crab-topped Sirloin to share, and together with the two accompanying sides of baked potato and sweet potato, the portion was huge. The steak itself was tender and juicy, although there appeared to be a strange aroma wafting from it. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but my partner seemed completely oblivious to it. The chunks of lump crabmeat were similarly soft and satisfying to the bite although the taste was a bit too pungent for my liking.
The side carbohydrates were outstanding. The baked potato was topped with the obligatory cheese and bacon bits, finished with a huge dollop of butter. It was extremely fragrant and buttery, and absolutely delicious. The sweet potato was so huge and so exceeding sweet! I certainly had not expected an entire sweet potato to be served. It was a pleasant and welcome surprise though, as its soft and crumbly texture was so moreish.If you are looking for a classic steakhouse to have your fill of excellent grills, look no further than Outback.
