Outback Steakhouse (founded 1988 in Tampa Florida by Bob Basham, Tim Gannon, Trudy Cooper, and Chris Sullivan with an Australian-outback editorial theme inspired by the popularity of the 1986 movie “Crocodile Dundee”) is a casual-dining steakhouse chain with about 700 US locations across all 50 states plus international expansion to 14 countries, owned by Bloomin’ Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: BLMN) alongside sister chains Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Outback open today, when do they close, are they open Sunday or for lunch every day, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, what is the Bloomin’ Onion, and where the nearest Outback Steakhouse is located.

Two Outback Steakhouse specific things worth knowing: most locations run 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday with extended Fri-Sat hours to 11:00 PM and shorter Sunday hours 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM (Outback serves lunch every day, a contrast with sibling sit-down steakhouse Texas Roadhouse which is dinner-only Monday through Thursday). Christmas Day is closed chain-wide; Thanksgiving Day is OPEN at most Outback locations (often with a holiday menu); Easter Sunday is open with regular Sunday hours.

Is Outback Steakhouse open on Saturday?

Saturday Outback Steakhouse hours run 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM (extended weekend close). Saturday is the busiest day of the week at most Outback locations; Saturday-evening dinner reservations 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM concentrate the heaviest traffic.

Is Outback Steakhouse open on Sunday?

Sunday Outback Steakhouse hours are reduced: 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM at most locations (1 hour earlier close than weekday). Sunday lunch and Sunday family-dinner traffic are both meaningful Sunday-business windows; Sunday afternoon is one of the busier weekend lunch periods at Outback (after-church family dinners). Easter Sunday is no exception (most Outback locations open with regular Sunday hours; Easter Sunday is one of the busier sit-down dinner days of the year). Mother's Day Sunday is the busiest single Sunday of the year at most Outback locations; reservations strongly recommended.

Last seating is typically 30 minutes before posted close; the kitchen accepts new orders until 15 minutes before close at most locations.

Is Outback open for lunch?

Yes, every day. Outback Steakhouse serves lunch every day from 11:00 AM at most locations (the lunch menu starts and overlaps with the dinner menu starting around 4:00 PM). The Outback lunch menu includes lighter portion sizes of popular dinner items plus a dedicated lunch-portion steak selection at lower price points. This is a meaningful contrast with sibling sit-down steakhouse Texas Roadhouse which does NOT serve lunch Monday through Thursday (Texas Roadhouse opens at 4:00 PM Mon-Thu, dinner only).

Is Outback open on Christmas Day?

No. All Outback Steakhouse locations are closed Christmas Day chain-wide. Christmas Eve typically runs reduced 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM hours; the chain reopens December 26 with full Saturday 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM hours.

Is Outback open on Thanksgiving?

Yes. Most Outback Steakhouse locations are OPEN on Thanksgiving Day with reduced hours (typically 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM), often featuring a special Thanksgiving menu with turkey, stuffing, and traditional Thanksgiving sides alongside the regular steakhouse menu. This is a contrast with many sit-down restaurant chains that close Thanksgiving entirely. Make a reservation through the OpenTable booking integration on outback.com or the Outback mobile app for Thanksgiving dinner; Thanksgiving Day at Outback typically has high demand.

Is Outback open on Easter Sunday?

Yes. Most Outback Steakhouse locations are open Easter Sunday with regular Sunday hours (11:00 AM to 9:00 PM). Easter Sunday is one of the busier sit-down dinner traffic days of the year for casual-dining steakhouses; making a reservation through OpenTable or the Outback mobile app is recommended for Easter Sunday dinner.

What is a Bloomin' Onion?

The Bloomin' Onion is Outback Steakhouse's signature appetizer and one of the most iconic casual-dining-restaurant signature dishes in US retail: a whole large onion is cut to fan out into a flower shape, hand-breaded with the chain's proprietary seasoning blend, and deep-fried until crispy and golden. Served with the chain's bloom sauce (a horseradish mayonnaise dipping sauce). The Bloomin' Onion has been on the Outback menu since the chain's 1988 opening and is a primary brand-recognition driver; many Outback regulars order it as a starter regardless of the rest of the meal selection.

What is the Outback Steakhouse loyalty program?

Dine Rewards is the free Outback Steakhouse loyalty program (also accepted at sister Bloomin' Brands restaurants Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse). Members get $5 off every fourth visit to any participating Bloomin' Brands restaurant; the visit-counter is shared across all four sister chains. Sign-up is free at the Outback website or in the Outback mobile app. Reservation-booking and online order also tie into Dine Rewards through OpenTable integration at most Outback locations.

Does Outback take reservations?

Yes, at most locations. Outback Steakhouse locations participate in OpenTable reservation booking through the OpenTable website, the OpenTable app, or directly through outback.com and the Outback mobile app. Walk-ins are also welcome; expect 30 to 60 minute waits Friday and Saturday evenings at most locations and longer waits on Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and other major dining holidays. Reservations are strongly recommended for parties of 5 or more, for Thanksgiving Day dinner, and for Easter Sunday dinner.
