For former Outback Steakhouse worker breakfast_ellevensies (@breakfast_ellevensies), she remains loyal to Outback even when she no longer works there, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve never eaten at a Longhorn, and I never will, because Outback is very anti-Longhorn, okay? I don\u2019t work there anymore, but I\u2019m still going to hold, you know, to my ethics and morals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast_ellevensies doesn\u2019t just say that she remains loyal to Outback; she goes into detail about what she believes makes it better than its competition: \u201cThis is why I don\u2019t eat at Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    Outback lets customers customize as long as they have the items    <\/p>\n<p>Breakfast_ellevensies started her video with comments about Outback Steakhouse\u2019s employee discount, which is nice information for employees, but for viewers who aren\u2019t employed and have no intention of working at an Outback in the near future, the menu tips that breakfast_ellevensies shared will likely be more useful.<\/p>\n<p>Those tips included information that you don\u2019t have to get the kid-sized sides if you order from the kids\u2019 menu. She said, \u201cYou can get whatever size you want. You don\u2019t have to get what the kid-size options are. You can get a house salad. You want that wedge salad? You can get the wedge salad. You want the mashed potatoes where they put everything on it? You can get that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can allegedly order anything as long as the restaurant has the ingredients for it. As breakfast_ellevensies described it: \u201cSo the no rules, just right thing means that you can order anything off menu as long as they have the ingredients to make it. You want fresh OJ, they\u2019re supposed to make it for you; you want one of the syrups, like, um, the blueberry or huckleberry syrup mixed in your butter that goes with your bread, they\u2019re supposed to do that for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only part of Outback that she didn\u2019t like was that they allegedly steam everything in the microwave, so she suggested that you request to have any item you order that says it\u2019s steamed, such as the lobster, to be grilled instead.<\/p>\n<p>    The Outback website supports these claims    <\/p>\n<p>As breakfast_ellevensies mentioned, the No Rules, Just Right slogan is part of Outback\u2019s philosophy, and it appears on the restaurant\u2019s website, which says, \u201cThey\u2019ve stood by their \u2018No Rules, Just Right\u2019 mentality: Outback Steakhouse\u2019s team takes food seriously, without forgetting any of the fun, knowing that nothing stands in the way of making you happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other Outback employees joined in the comments, mostly agreeing with breakfast_ellevensies or adding slight corrections, like the half-off discount only applying to the store you work at. One commenter said, \u201cAlso an ex-Outbacker\u2026 everything said here is true!! Haven\u2019t worked there since 2008 but still loyal to that place. They treat their employees sooo good too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Outback Steakhouse might be a solid option for employment if you have a location nearby and are looking for a job.<\/p>\n<p>Have a tip we should know?
