Outback Steakhouse's fan-favorite Steak and Lobster promotion is back, and this year guests will have an opportunity to try the creamy new Lobster Mac and Cheese alongside their favorite Outback steak.
Like previous years, Outback Steakhouse's Steak and Lobster promotion features some of the chain's most popular dishes, such as its Steak and Steamed Lobster Tail and its Steak with Crispy Lobster and Shrimp combo. However, this year, the chain is also serving up a new Steak with Lobster Mac and Cheese pairing. This dish features creamy macaroni and cheese studded with pieces of real lobster meat, and cheddar-jack cheese and crispy bacon baked right in. The cheesy seafood pasta is served alongside a seasoned and seared Outback steak for the ultimate surf and turf dining experience.
