Outback Steakhouse Shines For Its Meat, But This Menu Category Is A Different Story - Tasting Table

"There are five seafood entrees on Outback's menu: Seared ahi tuna, grilled shrimp on the barbie, steamed lobster tails, and then two salmon dishes, one grilled and one topped with shrimp and mushrooms tossed in a creamy sauce. Additionally, there are three different shrimp-based appetizers, and you can add salmon or shrimp to some of the entree salads, as well."

"Outback's lobster tail does rank among the steakhouse chain lobster dishes worth ordering, according to us here at Tasting Table. That being said, the grilled shrimp and salmon don't get high marks. Yelp reviews are mostly unfavorable; many say that both the salmon and shrimp are overcooked and too expensive for what you get."

"However, the coconut shrimp went viral on TikTok and has tons of devoted fans across the internet. Most of Outback's seafood is C food, but what about other steakhouse chains?"

Outback Steakhouse features five seafood entrees including seared ahi tuna, grilled shrimp, steamed lobster tails, and two salmon preparations, plus shrimp appetizers and salad additions. While seafood options are sparse compared to meat offerings, quality varies significantly. The lobster tail ranks favorably among steakhouse lobster dishes, but grilled shrimp and salmon entrees receive poor reviews for being overcooked and overpriced. The coconut shrimp appetizer gained viral TikTok popularity with devoted fans. Most seafood at Outback rates as average quality. Other steakhouse chains like Texas Roadhouse similarly lack quality seafood, though establishments such as Mastro's and Fleming's offer superior seafood options.
