"While one restaurant is themed after the wild Australian outback and the other is all about Southern hospitality, Outback Steakhouse and Texas Roadhouse are surprisingly similar. They offer many of the same steaks accompanied by two side dishes, plus free bread and hearty appetizers. Choosing where to dine may come down to the prices, and if sirloin is your go-to cut, we can confidently say that Texas Roadhouse offers a better deal."
"To see if its Hand-Cut Sirloins would be cheaper than Outback's Center-Cut Sirloins of the same size, we looked at online menu prices for both chains in six U.S. cities: Allentown, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; Mesquite, Texas; Commack, New York; Modesto, California; and Ocala, Florida. In all of these areas, Texas Roadhouse's sirloins were cheaper than Outback's by at least a buck."
"Texas Roadhouse's six-ounce sirloin - which ranged in price from $14.49 to $18.49 - was $1.50 to $3.50 cheaper than Outback's, which cost $17.99 to $19.99. Meanwhile, Texas Roadhouse's eight-ounce sirloin ranged from $16.99 to $21.49, costing $1.80 to $3.80 less than Outback's version, priced at $20.79 to $22.79. That's a big "Yeehaw!" for the winner and an "Aw, crikey" for the loser."
"Sirloin is a flavorful yet lean piece of beef that's a bit tougher than premium steaks like a filet or ribeye, and it's more prone to dryness due to its lower amount of marbling. The six-ounce sirloin is actually Texas Roadhouse's most popular steak, but it's not served at fine dining restaurants for these reasons. That said, the Roadhouse's version has the quality to back "
