OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE VOTED BEST STEAKHOUSE BY RESTAURANTS & INSTITUTIONS MAGAZINE
Restaurant Receives 9th Platinum Consumers’ Choice Award

Tampa, Florida, August 2009 – Outback Steakhouse recently received the Platinum Award (first place) in the best steakhouse category in Restaurants & Institutions magazine’s annual Consumers’ Choice in Chains awards. This is the ninth year that Outback has received this honor.

“This is a significant honor for Outback,” said Jeff Smith, president. “We have been committed to providing our guests with quality food and service over the past twenty one years, and we appreciate their loyalty to our restaurant.”

Now in its 29th year, the Restaurants & Institutions annual awards program recognizes restaurants that are selected through a national survey of 3,000 restaurant customers. Diners were asked to rate nearly 120 chain restaurants on eight guest satisfaction points: food quality, menu variety, value, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, reputation and convenience. Winners are named in 13 menu categories.
