Over at Outback Steakhouse, the meat, especially Victoria\u2019s Filet Mignon, is their main draw. \u201cThe filet is also pretty lean and the most tender(my favorite),\u201d a Redditor says.

The \u201cbuttery\u201d gruyere is melted onto a \u201ccute disc of beschuit,\u201d making it a beautiful mess of rich and smooth broth generously loaded with caramelized onions. And it\u2019s served with endless complimentary brown bread. \u201cIt\u2019s sweet molasses bread, best bread to have with butter, the perfect mix,\u201d says one Redditor.<\/p>\n
