Lexington Welcomes a New Outback Steakhouse!

Hey there, Lexington! Exciting news is on the horizon for all food lovers and fans of the classic Aussie-style dining experience. Outback Steakhouse, the beloved restaurant chain known for its hearty steaks and relaxed atmosphere, is officially set to open its doors at 5595 Sunset Blvd. at 4 p.m. on October 15.

A Fresh Start

If you’re wondering what happened to the old O’Charley’s that used to occupy the space, we’ve got you covered! That building was closed in 2022 and has since been demolished to make way for the brand new Outback. The new facility is a spacious 4,700-square-foot gem complete with modern touches that will surely impress diners. Guests will find a comfortable dining room along with a large bar area, all designed with a vibrant Great Barrier Reef theme — a nod to the restaurant’s Aussie roots.

Seats for Everyone!

With a seating capacity of 187 guests, this Outback Steakhouse is built for both intimate dinners and bigger gatherings. That means whether you’re grabbing a meal with family or celebrating a special event with friends, there’ll be plenty of room for everyone. To offer a wonderfully warm community spirit, approximately 125 employees will be joining the crew, ready to serve up delicious plates and friendly smiles!
