Outback Steakhouse
In short
An American chain of casual dining restaurants that uses an Australian theme to serve American-style food. It is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and operates over 1,000 locations globally.
In plain words
It is a restaurant chain where you can eat steaks and other meat dishes. Even though the name and decor look Australian, the food is actually American. It is owned by a company called Bloomin' Brands.
A simple example
A customer might visit an Outback Steakhouse to order a Bloomin' Onion, which is a large, fried onion shaped like a flower.
Why it matters
It is one of the largest steakhouse chains in the world. Its success helped popularise themed casual dining across many different countries.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse it with actual Australian restaurants; the theme is just for style, not the cuisine.
