Outback Steakhouse, American restaurant in Rochelle Park, US.
Outback Steakhouse is an American steakhouse restaurant in Rochelle Park, New Jersey, specializing in grilled steaks, chicken, and seafood. The menu also offers a range of appetizers and desserts, all named with references to Australian-sounding terms.
The first Outback Steakhouse opened in 1988 in Tampa, Florida, with a focus on serving affordable steakhouse meals to families. The chain grew steadily over the following decades and is now one of the most recognized steakhouse names in the United States.
The restaurant uses an Australian theme that runs through the decor, the menu names, and the overall feel of the dining room. Words like "Outback" and "Down Under" appear on the menu, giving the meal a playful tone that families tend to enjoy.
The restaurant accepts both reservations and walk-ins, though arriving early on weekend evenings or booking ahead is a good idea. There is parking nearby, making it easy to reach by car.
The Bloomin' Onion, one of the chain's most recognized appetizers, was created specifically for this brand and has no roots in Australian food tradition. It is a purely American invention that became a calling card for the whole chain.
