The Half-Pound Outbacker Burger

Outback Lunch Menu With Prices 2026

Outback serves lunch from about 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at most locations. Lunch entrees cost roughly $12.49 to $17.29, and combos start near $8.99. The best-value picks are the Steak and Soup Combo (about $12.99) and Walkabout Wednesday (from $13.99). Prices vary by restaurant, so confirm yours on the official Outback menu.

Lunch at Outback is the cheapest way to get the full Outback experience. You still get the grilled flavors and the signature sauces, just in smaller portions and at lower prices than dinner.

This page covers the 2026 lunch prices, hours, combos, weekly deals, lighter picks, and how to save a few dollars. I’ve also flagged where numbers differ from place to place, because they do.

Outback Lunch Menu Prices (2026)

Outback lunch prices run from about $10.79 for a quesadilla to $20.99 for a 6 oz sirloin, and the gap between the cheapest and priciest plate is bigger than most people expect. Here are six lunch picks with their price ranges and calories, so you can choose before you walk in. Prices change by location, so use the ranges as your guide.

Prices and calories vary by location. Check the official Outback menu for your restaurant.

A note on price accuracy. Outback sets prices by region, and some restaurants charge a few dollars more than others. If a number on your screen differs from the table, trust your local menu. The table is a realistic guide, not a quote.

Outback Lunch Hours

DayTypical Lunch Hours
Monday to Saturday11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Sunday11:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Most restaurants follow this pattern, though a few extend the window on weekends and some trim it on slow days.

Lunch combos are commonly listed as available until 4:00 PM, one hour later than the main lunch window. If you’re arriving between 3:00 and 4:00, ask whether combos are still being served. Calling ahead takes less time than guessing wrong.

Outback Lunch Combos

Combos are the easiest way to keep lunch cheap. You pick a pairing, and the price is set.

ComboStarting PriceWhat You Get
Soup and Salad Combo$8.99Soup plus a side salad
Classic Cheeseburger Combo$10.99Burger with a side
Grilled Chicken Salad Combo$11.49Grilled chicken over greens
Steak and Soup Combo$12.996 oz sirloin plus soup

You’ll notice the Soup and Salad Combo shows up at two different prices in this guide, $8.99 here and $12.49 in the main table. The lower price is the combo version, the higher one is the fuller lunch plate. When you order, check which one is on your screen.

The Steak and Soup Combo is the one to remember. A 6 oz sirloin by itself runs about $17.29, so you save a few dollars and get soup on the side.

Outback Lunch Specials and Weekly Deals

Aussie 3-Course Meal (from $14.99)

You get a starter, an entrée, and a dessert for one price. If you’d normally order a starter and a dessert anyway, this is the cheapest way to do it. Availability is limited, so ask your server before you plan around it.

Walkabout Wednesday (from $13.99)

Every Wednesday, you choose a 6 oz Center-Cut Sirloin or Grilled Chicken on the Barbie, served with Aussie Fries and either a 16 oz draft beer or a Coca-Cola product. It’s typically a dine-in offer. For about $14, this is the best full plate of the week.

AARP Member Discount

AARP members get 10% off their entire check with a valid membership card. Show the card when you order, not when the bill arrives, so the server can apply it properly.

Outback Rewards

Outback runs a rewards program you can join through the website or app. Offers change, so check the Specials page for what’s live this week.

Best Value Picks on the Outback Lunch Menu

Here’s the ranking, in order of what I’d tell a friend to order.

  1. Steak and Soup Combo (about $12.99). The most steak for the money, and the only way to get sirloin under $13.
  2. Walkabout Wednesday (from $13.99). A protein, fries, and a drink in one price.
  3. Aussie 3-Course Meal ($14.99). Best if you want dessert without paying separately.
  4. Alice Springs Chicken ($16.99). Pricier, but this is the dish most regulars order. Bacon, mushrooms, and melted cheese on chicken. It eats like a dinner.

What to skip: the standalone soup and salad at $12.49 if you’re properly hungry. A few dollars more gets you real protein.

Lighter and Healthier Lunch Options

If you’re watching calories, the clear winner is Grilled Chicken on the Barbie (5 oz), listed at around 160 calories for the chicken alone. Add steamed vegetables or a side salad and you have a lunch that fits most diet plans.

Grilled shrimp is the next lean option. The coconut shrimp tastes great but it’s fried and served with a sweet dipping sauce, so it’s the heavier choice of the two.

For exact numbers, use Outback’s nutrition guide. Calorie counts vary by preparation and sides, and I’d rather point you to the source than quote a figure that’s off.

Gluten-Free Lunch

Outback offers a gluten-sensitive menu. Tell your server about it when you sit down, not after you order, so the kitchen can handle it correctly. Cross-contact policies differ by restaurant, so ask what they can promise.

Kids at Lunch

Outback has a kids menu, but lunch availability and pricing vary by location. Ask whether it’s offered during lunch hours at your restaurant.

Lunch Menu vs Dinner Menu

SpecialsWalkabout Wednesday, 3-Course MealDinner-only deals
Best forQuick, budget mealsSit-down meals, bigger appetites

Some dinner-only items, like bigger steaks and rib platters, aren’t available at lunch. If a ribeye is what you want, wait for dinner and pay dinner prices. For everything else, lunch gives you the same flavors for less.

How to Save Money on Outback Lunch

  • Go on a Wednesday. Walkabout Wednesday is the best deal of the week.
  • Order a combo. Combos are almost always cheaper than building a plate.
  • Use the AARP discount. 10% off the whole check adds up fast.
  • Skip the extras. Appetizers and drinks are where the bill grows.
  • Order direct. Delivery apps often add fees and higher menu prices. Pickup through the Outback app avoids that.

How to Order Outback Lunch

You can order four ways.

  • Dine-in. Required for some specials, like Walkabout Wednesday.
  • Outback website or app. Order ahead and pick up without waiting.
  • Delivery apps. DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub carry Outback in most areas.
  • Payment. Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit and debit cards, and Outback gift cards are accepted.

On a weekday rush, order through the app, walk in, and pick up. It’s the fastest route.

Lunch Drinks and Desserts

Fresh brewed iced tea, lemonade, and Coca-Cola fountain drinks are the usual lunch pairings. Beer and wine are served at select locations, and the Wednesday special includes a draft.

For something sweet without the heavy finish, try the Mini Chocolate Thunder, the Salted Caramel Cookie Skillet, or the Spotted Dog Sundae. The minis are the right size for a work break.
