History
In 1988, Outback Steakhouse® was founded in Tampa, Florida by four friends who were all veterans of the hospitality industry and had the dream of opening their own restaurant. They wanted a place with a casual atmosphere and a strong focus on quality food and service.
They had a “No Rules, Just Right” mentality and took food very serious, but without taking themselves too seriously and operated under the premise that nothing stands in the way of pleasing the customer. Outback Steakhouse® quickly became known as the place that serves great steak at a reasonable price by people who genuinely cared about the comfort, well-being, and joy of their guests.
