The Outback Steakhouse is a chain steak restaurant in Tyler just off of Broadway/I-69 south of Rieck road. They go for the "Australia" theme with kangaroos, boomerangs and koalas decorating the place. Every Outback has a pretty good bar area and this place in Tyler keeps pretty busy.
The spread: They have again an Australian theme so the appetizers range from the Bloomin onion, Aussie cheese fries, grilled shrimp on the barbie, ahi tuna. The entrees range from chicken selections, salads, to steaks of various kinds as well as hamburgers, sandwiches and seafood options. They always start you out with a pumpernickel bread and butter. The have a full bar and offer a couple of different kind of beers with the "big bloke" being my favorite.
The verdict: I like Outback. The service is usually pretty good. The steaks are cooked fairly well to specifications and are flavorful. The Aussie cheese fries are bacony, cheesy goodness. I really enjoy the house salad, with their delicious croutons. The place is fairly kid friendly as it is a little noisy, so a couple of unexpected screams go relatively unnoticed. The only drawback is that the theme is a little contrived and the menu is built to please the most people as possible, so there isn't a lot of originality (to be expected from a large chain). Tylerites love it, and this place usually has a wait.
Edible Tyler Roses: 3.5 out of 5, my wife loves this place, and it is a decent steak for the price.
