No rules, just right---that's what they say at the Outback, and what we find particularly right are the Queensland salad (seasoned chicken salad with lettuce, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, bacon, chopped egg, tomato and toasted almonds) and, of course, grilled shrimp on the barbie (shrimp sprinkled with seasonings and grilled, served with a house-made rémoulade). The signature appetizer, as most restaurant-goers know, is the Bloomin’ Onion---a whole onion sliced into an artichoke-like design, battered and fried, and served with a dip. Definitely a guilty pleasure. Entrées include the aforementioned shrimp as well as grilled pork chops and chicken on the barbie, pastas and a choice of one, two or three lobster tails. The décor is dark wood and very ’80s with neon signs and mirrors. The past couple years have been hard for the locally based chain, but it has been slowly trying to update itself to appeal to a hipper dining public. Other locations.
