Outback restaurant/Florida food?
 
My beautiful wife loves this restaurant, and she was so excited when one opened up in Birmingham, as shes being missing their food.

Problem is, I am so bloated as I overate considerably.

Not a pretty sight, a fat arsed wabbit!

Do they get Outbacks in Florida, or Macaronne Grill. I know theres fast food Taco Bells (which I adore), but are they numerous in Fl?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No, stop it Lee, or you shall pop!!!

Del Taco is better, seems to have fresher produce, as for outback steakhouse they open a new restaurant everyweek according to thier website, growing faster than starbucks

We found it was a case of let's go to the Shite house outback after we went. The blooming onion was extremely greasy. Still it is the only place I can eat lamb as Mary Ann hates the thought of the stuff lol.

Have you tried a chillis restaurant, I was most impressed:)

ladyofthelake Nov 17th 2003 12:59 pm

There are plenty of Outbacks in Florida, bound to be one close to where you'll be. I know of 1 Macaroni Grill, in Tampa, so there's probably plenty of them dotted around too.

Does anybody find the outback comercial where the football player is out cold on the field and they wake him up with the smell of their onion blossom, a little distasteful?

Taco Bell is great for a quick cheap snack. Its far from gourmet, but fills a spot. I reccommend Baja Fresh for fast food Mexican. No Freezers in the restuarant, as everything is fresh on the day. It is a little more pricey than your taco bells or dell tacos.

Rockgurl, your coming to the right place if you like Mexican/Tex Mex food. So much so that I have burnt myself out on it in the 4 plus months I've been living here. I've moved onto Italian as my new favorite dish.

Nothing can ever replace curry! :( So it's just as well you gave me the address of the Indian restaurant in Phoenix! You rock! :D

Try the Outback Ribs and chicken mix- my favourite meal
Chillis Mushroom Jack Fajitas comes a close second

Can anyone still get the Chillis carrot cake in their area?

Mmmmm The Olive garden (they are all over the country too) is a must try,,, the chocolate lasagna is to die for :D :D :D

Ash :)

Patrick Nov 17th 2003 7:06 pm

Olive Garden! Outback!

You people need to get out more, there are so many better Italian restaurants than OG and so many better steak houses than Outback (their mash is trash). It may all be subjective but come on, Outback and Olive Garden top of anyones list of top restaurants has to be a joke!

Ash UK/US Nov 17th 2003 7:24 pm

Hey Patrick...

Each to their own... I never said anything about it being 'top of a list' although I do really enjoy Olive Garden.

Ash :)

Pimpbot Nov 17th 2003 7:41 pm

I always have the tour of Italy at Olive Garden.

We have a small chain called "Streets of New York" that does fairly good Italian food. And I saw a comercial on TV for Fazolies(sp) the other day and their twice baked lagsagne looked pretty good.

Why is it twice baked? Didn't they cook it right the first time? :D :D

No wonder 90% of new restaurants fail in their first year when everyone, and not just people on this board, Americans in general only ever eat at chain restaurants.
Chain restaurants where you get fed the same old crap you can get anywhere else in the country. For few dollars more, or less in some cases, you can get some amazing meals at local restaurants, ran by local people, using local produce. I tried a couple of these chains when I first moved here, just to see what all the fuss was about and now I refuse to eat at another one ever again.
There are so many amazing local, unique, restaurants out there. We should make the most of them while they are still around and before the whole world becomes a McOutback or McOlive Garden.

Who has said they only eat at these restaurants and nowhere else? Bit presumptous isn't it?
Just because someone says they've gone to OG or Outback and like the food there, it doesn't mean that's the only place they will ever eat at ever again.
This is my favourite restaurant:Columbia Restaurant
but I guess as there are 6 locations it doesn't cut the mustard with you.

I love Outback, especially the 'outback steak special' and the salad with tangy tom sauce.

OG is great value for the family, the kids love the thick soup, and I love the salad, then my wife and I share the chicken parmesan its way to much for 1 person.

We also have some great local resturants, with equally good service so I don't have a problem were I get my fill.

Its a shame some people have a problem with OG and Outback but there the same ones that have a chip on their shoulder about everything.

I go to Outback, its just not the best steak house as people seem to think. Its cheap and cheerful but the food is nothing to write home about.

I would never go to OG again as I found it overpriced and under taste, there are far better Italians.

You would be the expert of having a chip on a shoulder.

Isn't it strange that when people think of "restaurants" here they think of McDonalds, Wendy's etc.

But when we think of restaurants we are actually thinking of restaurants and not Burger King, Taco Bell etc.

Posh bunch we Brits !
