Outback Steakhouse (Orchard Gateway)

Got this steak medium rare. The steak was firm and juicy, but not impressive and the seasonal vegetables were a little too dry. Was worth it only with 1 for 1 with burpple beyond!

The Typhoon Bloom (S$15.90) was described as “hand-cut, fresh onion strings” in the menu, but it turned out that I was presented with a mountain of onion rings.

I was okay with the flavours of their special seasoning to the food, but fretted upon the portion of onion rings. Strangely, the portion could be easily conquered by two persons if they came in strings, but just seemed overwhelming when served chunky. Not cool, because I was still confused over my degree of liking (or disliking) towards it.

Since it is a steakhouse, you would think their steaks wont disappoint. IT WAS A DISASTER.
STEAK:
I ordered their best seller, a new york strip medium rare. The fat was not rendered, so it still tasted raw, steak was not seasoned. The meat texture was tough and rubbery overall.
SIDES/ SAUCE:
The price of the coleslaw is $3.90. The given portion is even smaller than your regular sized KFC coleslaw. Yes i kid you not. It was sour too. The accompanying sauce for the steak was salty and it honestly tasted like concentrated chicken stock. Overall it was a bad experience. I took the recent bad reviews here with a pinch of salt and i regret it terribly.

Steak is juicy and goes well with the sauce. Not worth for normal price, going with 1 for 1 deal is fine.

The first time here I was alrdy disappointed with the food. This time I tried the steak that many had rave about. But it was really bad, I ordered medium rare but medium came.
And it wasn’t hot as well, just warm. And I paid what? $50 for one slice of beef. Hmm. I came with a friend who swear by Outback Steakhouse’s steak and she was disappointed as well.
Food was realy really plain, and not worth the money at all. Even for 1 for 1.

What exactly: “This is the steak lover’s steak. Well-marbled, juicy and savory ribeye. Have it seasoned and seared with our secret 17 seasoning blend or chargrilled over an open flame. 10 oz. (284 grams).” — menu. Came with two sides so I chose rice pilaf and mashed potatoes.

Price on menu: $49.90

Thoughts on food: Dry, overpriced, meh. Rice was decent.

Will I order this again: No.

Will I visit this place again: Even if there is 1-for-1, I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Also there is a nasty odour in the restaurant, smelled like detergent that did not dry properly.

Also, if you are using two BB deals in a receipt, they basically offset the cheapest two item.
