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

Tampa, Florida (August 2007) – Outback Steakhouse was recently honored with the Platinum Award (first place) in the best steakhouse category in Restaurants & Institutions magazine’s annual Consumers’ Choice in Chains awards. This is the third year in a row that Outback has received this honor.

“This is a significant honor for Outback,” said Jeff Smith, president. “We have strived to provide our guests with quality food and service over the past nineteen 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 27th 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 968 Outback Steakhouse restaurants throughout the world. For more information and locations, visit www.outback.com.
