Outback's Great Barrier Eats menu is here, but not for long

Talk about nature-inspired food: Australian-themed restaurant chain Outback Steakhouse has just launched a limited-time menu that’s being marketed as the “eighth and most delicious wonder of the world” – inspired by Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The Great Barrier Eats menu is available now at all Outback Steakhouse locations, but will only be available until November 12. The lineup includes a wide selection of hearty dishes, including the Twin Reef Shrimp, which is breaded and comes with a side for $14.99.

Other items include the Tasmanian Shrimp and Scallop Pasta (fettuccine tossed in Alfredo sauce and topped with parmesan, shrimp and sea scallops, sautéed tomatoes and mushrooms for $21.99), a Bloomin’ French Onion Sirloin (a seasoned and seared center-cut sirloin topped with melted provolone cheese and Bloomin’ Onion petals for $16.99), and a $32.99 Reef and Beef Platter described as “the ultimate trio featuring…a 6oz Victoria barrel-cut filet mignon, grilled shrimp and sea scallops with lemon butter.”

Steakhouse fans can rest assured that the chain’s classic menu items will still be available, but since Outback’s Great Barrier Eats menu won’t be around for long, you might want to try it while you can.

Another newcomer, the Kankagaroo Krush cocktail, deserves a special mention. Made with Cruzan passionfruit rum, orange liqueur, sour blood orange, mango and soda, this sweet concoction is then topped off with a kangaroo figurine as a souvenir. The Australian theme clearly resonates throughout the menu and dining experience.

Speaking of cocktails, the company took to X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) to announce this latest drink, which follows the debut of the Koala Punch and Aussie Jawssie. The post prompted followers to guess “which creature made its way to the Outback next,” and the responses were pretty hilarious.

“I bet that’s a dingo with a pineapple slice on his head,” someone wrote on the platform.

“A MAGNIFICENT OBSOMETER???”, someone else astutely suggested.

It seems that Outback Steakhouse fans not only have big appetites but also incredible senses of humor.
