SYDNEY -- The Outback Steakhouse restaurant is everything that is wrong with Australian-themed restaurants, and now someone is fighting back.
A poster on Reddit, known only as themeandoggie, shared a complaint he said he received while working at the restaurant. The complaint read: "Not satisfied, nobody spoke Australian".
To be honest, it is a pretty fair call. If your bloomin' menu changes the name of 'prawns' to 'shrimp', you deserve a clobber.
Commenters agreed, sharing their anger on the forum.
"F*cking oath, you f*cking call it fries on the menu not chips as well," one fuming customer wrote. While another called the restaurant a pack of "flamin' galahs!" (That's Australian for dummies.)
This classic responder definitely needs to get out of the U.S. of A.: "Aussie friend of mine called Outback and was mad when they said they didn't put beach root on their burgers." Ermm... that would be beetroot.
Then someone finally got to the bottom of the issue: "No one who speaks Australia has ever been in an Outback Steakhouse."
Outback Steakhouse is Australian-themed with 116 restaurants across the U.S. There are also seven in Australia, yet no Aussie would know where they are.
The company claims its strategy "is to differentiate its restaurants by emphasising consistently high-quality food and service, generous portions at moderate prices and a casual atmosphere suggestive of the Australian Outback."
Not suggestive enough, if Reddit is to be believed.
