Outback Steakhouse Honored As Best Steakhouse By
Restaurants & Institutions Consumers’ Choice

Tampa, Florida (September 2006) – Outback Steakhouse was recently honored with the Platinum Award (first place) in the best steakhouse category in Restaurants & Institutions magazine’s annual Consumer Choice awards.

“This is a significant honor for Outback,” said Paul Avery president. “We have strived to provide our guests with quality food and service over the past eighteen years and we appreciate their loyalty to our restaurant.”

The Restaurants & Institutions annual awards program recognizes restaurants that are selected through a national survey of more than 3,100 restaurant customers. Diners were asked to rate nearly 120 chain restaurants on eight customer satisfaction points: food quality, menu variety, value, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, reputation and convenience. Winners are named in 13 menu categories. This was the 26th year for this annual award to be presented.

Outback Steakhouse was founded in Tampa, Florida in 1988 by a group of restaurateurs who believed in hospitality, sharing, quality, being courageous and having fun. Renowned for its bold flavors, Outback Steakhouse features a menu of uniquely-seasoned steaks, prime rib, chops, ribs, chicken, seafood, and pasta. Serving only the freshest food possible, all Outback Steakhouse dishes are made from scratch every day with only the highest quality ingredients.

There are presently 947 Outback Steakhouse restaurants throughout the world. For more information and locations, visit www.outback.com.
