Server load is extremely heavy, but you can get through with enough tries. Took me about 10 minutes. If it “crashes” on you after you fill out the form, just hit backspace and the form should remain still filled out, ready for you to click the “proceed” button again.

Free steak? What the hell. I got mine. Maybe they’re better than I remember. It’s been many, many years.

“Got” mine. Just waiting on the physical coupon now.

I’ve never been displeased at all by the “Outback special”. I can almost always eat every bite, since there’s very little or no fat on it. I’ve had the ribeye and the filet there too, but I think the “Special” is the best bang for the buck by far IMHO.

Outback is solidly in the middle as far as decent steaks go. They’re far better than an Applebees, Waffle House, Ponderosa etc. They’re also far behind a Ruth’s Chris, Smith and Wollensky, Morton’s etc, but they don’t cost $45 for an aged sirloin either.

I like my steaks medium rare, but order them medium there. It always comes out perfect to me, probably cause the worst thing they can do is overcook a steak and render it unusable.

I tried to get a voucher for my mom and dad, (no steaks for me, thanks) but they are all out of them here at the Utah locations.

They offered to give me a coupon for $5 bucks off if you buy 2 meals, but that didn’t sound like much of a deal to me…

Heh. Yeah, I got a free steak at Outback as well, some time ago. Of course it was because I only had one bite off the stack, and only finished the salad and potato.

Says they’re going to verify my address and mail it to me in about 4 weeks. By which time I’ll probably have forgotten I signed up for it.

What the heck - I was less than impressed the last time we went - is everything there a la carte now? But a free steak is a free steak…

Awwww, a bloomin’ onion, the JohnT household pregnancy test _par excellence_. 😉

It was early February, 2001. Mrs. JohnT was hungry and we like Outback’s, so off we went. Oddly, Laura was in the mood for an appetizer, specifically, the Bloomin’ Onion and since I was feeling flush, we decided to order one.

Laura ate the entire thing.

In five minutes.

I looked at her and asked “What the hell?”

“I don’t know… but when is that steak going to get here? I’m _starving_.”

“Sure you’re not pregnant?”

: crickets :  
: pins start dropping :  
: eyes growing wide in dawning realization :

We waited until the 14th for the test (happy Valentines Day, baby to be!) but by then it was obvious that Laura was eating for two.

It’s been a great 10 years with our daughter, Sophia. :love:

My wife and I went there when she was pregnant, back in 2006. I believe I ordered an 8 ounce steak, and she ordered a 16 ounce one. They tried to put the big steak in front of me, but she said, “Hey, that one’s mine!” Wolfed it down and stared at me while I finished, then ordered a giant piece of cheesecake for dessert.

Maybe that should be a commercial. “Outback Steakhouse: Preggos Love It!”

Huh. Fancy - there was still some available in a suburb 'round these parts. It’s a bit of a drive, but free food never hurt anyone!

The free steak offer wasn’t available at the Outback we go to, but the $5 coupon was, so I signed up for that. Hey, we go to Outback once or twice a year, and $5 is $5…

I wonder if someone signed you up and your address was already in the database? I pulled out my phone contact list and signed up friends/family since I had their address/email handy (of course, opted all of them out of the spam email request). Then, I sent them a quick text message saying they might get a coupon in the mail in 4 weeks (so they wouldn’t just throw out an envelope from Outback).

$5 is $5, but I’m curious what sort of deals and offers they may be emailing in the future. Every so often, Chili’s sends me offers of free dessert or apps. Not enough to set the world on fire, but on those “I don’t wanna cook - let’s go out” nights, having a coupon for a freebie may be enough.
