As the holidays approach and family budgets feel the squeeze, Outback Steakhouse is offering 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 Passport to Down Under Deals 🇦🇺

Outback has a schedule of weekday value 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.

Tuesday Tails: Surf & Turf 🦞🥩

Tuesday brings “Tuesday Tails.” We’re talking surf and turf at a tasty price. Every Tuesday, 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 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 deal includes a soup or salad, choice of select Down Under entrées, and a slice of New York-style cheesecake.

$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.”
