Outback Steakhouse worker shares her menu hacks. Then she explains why she skips competitors: ‘This is why I don’t eat at Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse’
An employer that has happy employees.
Franchises and chain restaurants that serve the same kind of food often compete against each other, which means that you might be particularly loyal to one option and avoid the competition. For former Outback Steakhouse worker breakfast_ellevensies (@breakfast_ellevensies), she remains loyal to Outback even when she no longer works there, saying, “I’ve never eaten at a Longhorn, and I never will, because Outback is very anti-Longhorn, okay? I don’t work there anymore, but I’m still going to hold, you know, to my ethics and morals.”
Breakfast_ellevensies doesn’t just say that she remains loyal to Outback; she goes into detail about what she believes makes it better than its competition: “This is why I don’t eat at Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse.”
Outback lets customers customize as long as they have the items
Breakfast_ellevensies started her video with comments about Outback Steakhouse’s employee discount, which is nice information for employees, but for viewers who aren’t employed and have no intention of working at an Outback in the near future, the menu tips that breakfast_ellevensies shared will likely be more useful.
Those tips included information that you don’t have to get the kid-sized sides if you order from the kids’ menu. She said, “You can get whatever size you want. You don’t have to get what the kid-size options are. You can get a house salad. You want that wedge salad? You can get the wedge salad. You want the mashed potatoes where they put everything on it? You can get that.”
Additionally, you can allegedly order anything as long as the restaurant has the ingredients for it. As breakfast_ellevensies described it: “So the no rules, just right thing means that you can order anything off menu as long as they have the ingredients to make it. You want fresh OJ, they’re supposed to make it for you; you want one of the syrups, like, um, the blueberry or huckleberry syrup mixed in your butter that goes with your bread, they’re supposed to do that for you.”
The only part of Outback that she didn’t like was that they allegedly steam everything in the microwave, so she suggested that you request to have any item you order that says it’s steamed, such as the lobster, to be grilled instead.
The Outback website supports these claims
As breakfast_ellevensies mentioned, the No Rules, Just Right slogan is part of Outback’s philosophy, and it appears on the restaurant’s website, which says, “They’ve stood by their ‘No Rules, Just Right’ mentality: Outback Steakhouse’s team takes food seriously, without forgetting any of the fun, knowing that nothing stands in the way of making you happy.”
Other Outback employees joined in the comments, mostly agreeing with breakfast_ellevensies or adding slight corrections, like the half-off discount only applying to the store you work at. One commenter said, “Also an ex-Outbacker… everything said here is true!! Haven’t worked there since 2008 but still loyal to that place. They treat their employees sooo good too.”
It seems like Outback Steakhouse might be a solid option for employment if you have a location nearby and are looking for a job.
