Lexington Welcomes New Outback Steakhouse!
Hey there, Lexington! If you’re a fan of hearty meals and a cozy dining atmosphere, get ready to clear your calendar because there’s a brand-new place in town! Outback Steakhouse, the beloved Aussie-themed restaurant chain, is all set to throw open its doors at 5595 Sunset Blvd. on October 15 at 4 p.m. It’s a fantastic addition to our community, and here’s everything you need to know about it!
A Fresh Start in a Familiar Spot
The new Outback location takes over the space that used to be home to O’Charley’s, which closed its doors in 2022. The old building has been completely removed, and a shiny new facility has been constructed in its place. This substantial investment means fresh experiences are about to unfold for all of us!
What to Expect Inside
Stepping into the new restaurant, you’ll notice it’s quite a big space! With around 4,700 square feet, there’s plenty of room to accommodate your family, friends, or even a large gathering. The dining area boasts a modern design that invites a relaxed atmosphere, making it perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual dinner or a special night out.
And let’s not forget about the bar! The large bar area features an exciting design inspired by Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, making it a spot where you may want to grab a drink and unwind. The entire restaurant has a seating capacity of 187 guests, so bring your appetite!
A Nod to Local Charm
What’s extra special about this Outback is that it pays tribute to some local vibes. You’ll find artwork showcasing a kangaroo basking in the sun on a dock at Lake Murray, adding that touch of Lexington charm to the overall ambiance. It’s these little details that make local dining experiences uniquely delightful!
A Friendly Face for Job Seekers
In addition to being a tasty haven, this Outback is also set to be a significant employer in the area. Approximately 125 employees will be hired to keep things running smoothly, providing friendly service to everyone who walks through those doors. It’s great to see how the community is benefiting from this new establishment!
More Choices, More Fun!
Outback Steakhouse is part of a larger family of nearly 700 locations spread across the United States, with other branches in our neighboring Columbia, including spots on Harbison Boulevard and Two Notch Road. Established back in 1988 in Florida, the chain is famous for its delicious steak menu along with a variety of options like sandwiches, seafood, desserts, salads, pasta, and, of course, the iconic Bloomin’ Onion. With something for everyone, it’s hard to resist these tempting dishes!
Busy Location, Hungry Customers!
Location is everything, right? The Sunset Boulevard site is strategically placed right near other popular retailers like Papa John’s, Tractor Supply Co., and Verizon, as well as big names like Home Depot and Walmart just across the street. With over 35,000 cars cruising this stretch of Sunset every single day, it’s bound to attract plenty of hungry guests ready to dig into a delightful meal.
