Outback Steakhouse
First, let’s get one thing straight. Outback Steakhouse has really nothing to do with Australia, no matter the boomerangs on the walls or the crocodile-themed decor. It was founded in Tampa, Florida, and even if it were the largest steakhouse chain in the United States with almost 700 locations, there are zero in the land Down Under.
What’s even more important is that diners stated it has nothing to do with an actually good steak, either. Moreover, a 2021 Mashed poll discovered that 23% of voters called Outback’s steak the worst one in America.
That might have had something to do with the fact that the chain uses USDA Choice beef instead of the Prime one, which automatically means less marbling, less flavor, and a higher chance of ending up with a tough and dry cut. Somehow, people still go there, and we couldn’t help but think it’s most definitely for the Bloomin’ Onion.

Sizzler is mine and my husbands favorite restaurant but unfortunately they have closed
in our area. The food is always good and the service is very nice too. The restaurant was always clean and we enjoyed it very much. We miss it.
We had Sizzler in San Bernardino County too. It was soooo good. I can’t even think of another steakhouse that we went to except for Pinnacle Peak. They just had steak and beans and bread.
Sizzler Ontario California..
Still awesome.
Sizzler is great..Ontario California to be exact. Great friendly familiar service.
We loved it, but it’s been gone in IL for a long time.
Click bait rubbish and too frustrating to deal with, basically you get drawn into downloading PDF reading software you don’t want. AVOID.
Agree. Bs ad’s
Of the aforementioned restaurants, only Outback and Sizzler’s are the ones I’ve heard of, and I think Sizzler’s may have been, during my Navy days, during the last century. I live in the northern panhandle of WV, about 30 miles west of Pittsburgh. None of the other named restaurants are around here, and the last few named seems to be praised more than criticized as a steakhouse.
Since I never found the body of the article, can’t tell how accurate it might be.
One of my cousin’s worked for the State of California in their Agriculture where they tested food products at various restaurants. He “used” to eat at fast food & cheaper steak houses like “Sizzler” and “Golden Corral” BUT when he discovered how diseased & ridden with bacteria, HE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT EATING AT THOSE TYPES OF CHEAPER “restaurants”.
You get what you pay for!!
interesting
To me the best steakhouse by far is Texas roadhouse
You can’t beat the ambience along with the great prices and delicious food
I though my steak was thin and cooked wrong ; I asked for medium rare and received well done meat – for $100 meal between me and the wife – very disappointed
Loved sizzlers when it was back in the day in New Jersey. Gone with most of the salad bars in this state. We do Texas Roadhouse these days or Longhorne for ribs.
Since this article did not exist because of million ads I don’t know. If you want an opinion get rid of all these damn ads that are stupid thanx
Longhorne is our favorite place for steak but the prices aren’t Great. Texas roadhouse is another place we like.
I have tried Logans steaks numerous times over a period of a year, it is always tasteless and tough. I do not go there any more.
My family and I went into Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Tampa. Everything was great except the steaks, which had hardly any taste. They have competition too, with Burns, and others. As they say down there , “Oh Well.”
Berns is like Ponderosa, Charley’s is best in Tampa
