As summer heats up and family budgets feel the squeeze, Outback Steakhouse is rolling out the red carpet with deals offering exclusive deals that speak directly to families. If you’re juggling work, kids’ activities, and trying to squeeze in some quality family time without spending a lot, these Aussie-inspired offers might just be the answer to your dining woes.

Your Summer Passport to Down Under Deals

Outback has mapped out what they’re calling “your summer itinerary” with a schedule of deals that makes dining out a realistic option for busy families. The restaurant chain understands that for middle-class families, eating out isn’t just about convenience: it’s about quality time and good food without the financial stress.

Joey Mondays: Kids Eat Free All Summer Long

Every Monday through September 1st, 2025, Outback is offering something that makes every parent’s heart sing: free kids’ meals with the purchase of an adult entrée. 

Here’s what makes this deal particularly appealing for families:

• Available for children 12 and under
• Works for dine-in and online orders (just mention the free Joey Meal to your server or use code JOEYFREE online)
• Runs through the entire summer season
• No complicated restrictions or fine print gymnastics

For a family of four with two kids, this deal can easily save you $15-20 every Monday night. Over the course of the summer, that’s serious money back in your pocket.

Tuesday Tails: Surf & Turf All Summer

Tuesday brings “Tuesday Tails.” We’re talking surf and turf at a tasty price. Every Tuesday this summer, Outback serves up a steamed lobster tail paired with their juicy signature center-cut sirloin, plus a steakhouse potato and your choice of side, starting at just $24.99.

This is the kind of meal that typically comes at a premium price in upscale steakhouses; a comparable surf and turf combination would typically be at least $40. Outback’s Tuesday Tails deal transforms what’s usually a special occasion splurge into an affordable weeknight dinner option.

Walkabout Wednesdays: Complete Dinner Deal

Wednesday brings what Outback calls “Walkabout Wednesdays”—a deal that runs every single Wednesday this summer and offers exceptional value for anyone looking to enjoy a complete restaurant meal. For just $13.99, you get your choice of a 6-oz Center-Cut Sirloin or Grilled Chicken on the Barbie, served with Aussie Fries and paired with a 16-oz domestic draft beer or ice-cold Coca-Cola product.

This isn’t a scaled-down portion either. It’s a complete dinner experience at a price point that makes weeknight dining easier on your budget. The Center-Cut Sirloin alone would typically cost $16.99, making this deal a genuine value.

The Aussie 3-Course Experience: Fine Dining at Fast-Food Prices

Another impressive offering in Outback’s current deal lineup is their limited-time 3-course Aussie meal deal. Starting at just $14.99, this promotion includes a soup or salad, choice of select Down Under entrées, and a slice of New York-style cheesecake.

To put this in perspective: $14.99 for three courses is less than what many fast-casual chains charge for a single entrée. We’re talking about legitimate restaurant dining for less than a typical lunch at many popular chains.

What You Actually Get

This promotion includes an entrée, side, soup or salad and dessert, though the specific entrée options vary by price point. This pricing structure acknowledges what many families know all too well: the difference between a $15 meal and a $25 meal isn’t just $10: it’s often the difference between dining out and staying home.

---

In an era where many restaurants seem to be chasing either the ultra-budget or ultra-premium markets, Outback is staking out the middle ground where most families actually live. As Outback puts it: “A soup or salad, an entrée, and a dessert for under $20? Are we crazy? Maybe. Or maybe that’s just how we do it down under.” 

The deals run through September 1, giving families plenty of time to discover that eating out doesn’t have to mean eating into the family budget.
