Outback Steakhouse-3 Course Steak Dinner $11.99

http://www.outback.com/menu/3coursesteakdinner_apr2012.aspx

I usually pay $10 for the steak, fries, and salad. How is this a deal of any sort? I guess because I'm paying $2 to eat their mini apple pie things?

These deals are typically $5+ more in California....

thees eez no deell maytee..

Paying 12 bucks for sirloin???

For 12 bucks the outback special is pretty damn good. I usually pig out after Ryan Newman wins a race and I get a free bloomin onion...

Onion + bread + loaded baked potato + house salad + steak + beer for <20 out the door.

The shrink ray is pretty annoying though... portions seem to get smaller by the month, probably have shrunk in half over past 5-10 years.

This is HOT!!!

I've read in several health articles that your steak should be the size of a deck of playing cards. It's pretty hard for me; it's more like torture because after the first few bites, I always want more.
That's the rough size of one standard portion of meat - any kind of meat.

I think the accounting department, not the nutrition department at Outback is setting the portion sizes.

I saw this advertised on the table the other night when I was there. This is no deal. It cost $9.99 for the 6 oz. steak, salad, and potato. So you're paying $2 extra so you can have the beignets.

Sorry but the steak in that picture doesn't look very appetizing. It isn't going to bring me in for the deal. I'm sure they had to show what it is but Outback's Marketing department could have done better IMHO.

"Onion 2000cal + bread 350cal + loaded baked potato 400cal + house salad 350cal + steak 500cal + beer150cal = 3800cal..... for <20 out the door."

ooo ooo.. do the fat and carbs now too

Or...if you skip the *onion*, limit the bread/dressing, and get veggies as your side you can be well under 1000. If memory serves the 6 oz sirloin by itself is only ~350cal and veggies are <100. All depends what you're going for. I like to sub Cheesy fries for my side (only $1.25 more).

Keep in mind the 6oz outback special (this meal but without dessert) is 10 bucks. Oddly, even in NYC they have it for $10. $2 difference for a small dessert is a pretty good deal.

Doesn't the offer include a "loaded" baked potato (as shown in the ad)? I think they cost more than the regular one.

edit: Just looked on the menu. Nevermind.

this and Panera Bread i'm in heaven!

6 ounce steak? pleeeez

ooooooooo............
