Outback Two Times

This past week I have been to The Outback two times! Lucky me! It pains me that updates are so sparse, but school has been taking my time and internet here has been killing my entries mid way. I soldier on!

First thing you get at the outback is this lovely pumpernickel bread. Warm and soft with a little bit of sponginess. A little bit of butter and man this is good stuff, if you've been to the Outback

you know the power of the bread.


The first time this week(actually a week and a half ago but who's counting?) I went with Zak. Another thing the Outback is known for is the bloomin onion. Its basically a fancy onion ring that you pick each individual slabs out of. Its pretty good, but it gets a little greasy after a while. Its served with a zesty dipping sauce its strong but it doesn't stay in your mouth long. A good appetizer for a table of people.



Now I've never had soup from the Outback before, and I was surprised. This was baked potato soup: bacon,cheese and chives. This was incredibly creamy and tasted like , who would of guessed ,a baked potato. It was hearty and warming like a soup should be! An excellent soup!




Now last night Bill took me out and we got coconut shrimp as an appetizer. I'm not a fan of coconut in the slightest, but these were palatable. Good sized shrimp and fried golden these were great even for me. They were served with an orange marmalade which I don't have a particular stand on.



This was a burger with the works, it had everything. Onions,bacon,mushrooms,cheese,tomato, pickles,lettuce. You name it it had it. The burger itself was cooked perfectly and was a great burger in its own right. The toppings might of been too much to handle and definitely had and intense flavor. Just a little too much at once.




Now Last night I had another burger, but this time it was just enough. Picture a bloomin onion on top of a burger. It was Fantastic, the onion pieces gave a great crunch. The sauce complimented the burger and gave it the zing that give it such life. This was definitely the better of both burgers and I would probably order it every time if there weren't more enticing items on the menu.




The fries (pictured below) are very seasoned fries. I like that, everything at the outback has a certain seasoning that's just indescribable. Its spicy yet doesn't overpower. The fries themselves are meaty, but are still standard cut. it feels like there is more potato in them. Crispy enough, sometimes a little soft. I like them







PINK LEMONADE FOR THE WIN!
