Quick Burger Break at Outback Steakhouse, Glorietta

As can be gleaned from its name, Outback Steakhouse is inspired by the hearty meals of burgers and barbecued meats in Australian cuisine.  Being a core component of the Australian diet, meat does take center stage in the restaurant’s menu: with Signature Steaks of various cuts cooked to order, Australian-themed appetizers, burgers, sandwiches and more.

As my daughter #ExhibitA and I were on our way to the grand opening of BLK513 in Glorietta, we decided to while away some time with some light lunch at the Glorietta branch of Outback Steakhouse, taking advantage of a Metrodeal offer that gave us Php500 worth of food for only Php299.

The place is not as full as we expected despite the lunch hour on a Saturday.  The ground floor dining area is for smokers but the second floor dining space is more geared towards families and non-smokers.  The darkwood floors and furniture give the place a masculine feel (quite appropriate for a steaks and grill place).

Light lunch fare and Outback steakhouse’ offerings do not usually go together but my daughter and I solved this dilemna by splitting an order Bacon Cheeseburger (Php499). This consisted of an Outback Steakhouse’ humungous ground beef burger patty, grilled to medium doneness per our request, topped with bacon, American cheese, pickles, onions, mayo, lettuce and tomato between warm fluffy burger buns, certainly juicy and meaty with every bite.  It is served with Aussie Fries, large fried potato wedges which helped make this meal filling enough for two.

Considering availing of the same Metrodeal offer?  Here are some friendly reminders:

• Note the validity period of the Metrodeal voucher.  It may not be valid for use during holidays or special events.
• You can only use a maximum of 8 vouchers per table per redemption.
• Be sure to reserve your table before you go to the resto.
