"If you want to keep it healthy by getting a salad with your steak, avoid ordering the Outback Aussie Cobb salad. When ranking popular Outback Steakhouse menu items, we found the Aussie version of a Cobb salad to be very far from the classic Cobb salad recipe that we know and love. Rather than including chicken, bacon, tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, and cheese on a bed of fresh Romaine or mixed lettuce greens, Outback's dubiously named Aussie version only includes ingredients typically found in a side salad."
"According to the Outback menu, the salad is meant to include chopped hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, bacon, croutons, and a blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese served on a bed of fresh mixed greens. Unfortunately, when we ordered it, we only got a small amount of hard-boiled egg along with bacon bits rather than fresh bacon. This made it seem more like a sad side salad than a rich, flavorful main course."
"Some customers love the Aussie Cobb salad at Outback. On TikTok, @sarahmargareteats went to her local Outback restaurant and asked her server what the least popular meal was at the steakhouse chain. He told her that it was the Aussie Cobb salad, so she ordered it to try it for herself. She said she ordered it with crispy chicken and ranch dressing, and rated it a nine out of 10."
The Outback Aussie Cobb salad departs significantly from a traditional Cobb, omitting key elements like substantial chicken and fresh bacon in typical servings. Menu descriptions promise chopped hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, bacon, croutons, and a blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese atop mixed greens. Actual orders have produced only small amounts of egg and bacon bits, leaving the dish closer to a side salad than an entrée. Customer reactions vary: some diners praise the salad when customized with crispy chicken and dressing, while others describe it as the worst Cobb they have had.
