I love this idea! I would serve it with excellent wine from our cellar to be ironic but secretly it would be my favorite thing at the get-together. I will admit- I very occasionally go to Outback on purpose.

Bloomin onion, loaded cheese fries, a few beers, and the chocolate thunder

Reviving this thread. Went to Outback tonight after a six-month hiatus. Raised their prices again and the quality just wasn’t there. Texas Roadhouse is far better in terms of food, pricing, and service.

Go up to the bartender and in your best Crocodile Dundee voice shout “Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!!” and order a tall Foster’s Big Bloke

Outback recently raised their prices so $50 doesn't go that far. You'll survive.
Oh she knows that. The whole post is virtue signaling, from the orthorexic pearl-clutching about the calories on the menu to the snobby "it's not a place at which we dine" remark like she can't figure out something to order at a steakhouse. Essentially - OP would like everyone to know that she is very healthy and high-brow.
lol at "Steakhouse". Maybe OP prefers to dine with Burger King, since that's actual royalty.

Funnily enough, I went to Outback a few weeks ago (in nowhere MD) and it was EXCELLENT.
From the server to the food to the drinks, it was what you want when you go out. The server was attentive, the food was cooked just right, it was plated nicely, and the drinks were strong. We only went because we could walk to it from the hotel and my DH made an executive decision since our kids couldn’t agree on what they wanted.
Was it the best food I’ve ever had? Not even close. But there was absolutely nothing to complain about.
Now, to answer the question, I’d just use it at Carabba’s.

This. Sit at the bar so the drinks come when you want them. You will have some good people watching in the employees coming to get the drinks, the bartender, maybe some flirting or drama between the employees. Plus anyone else who is sitting at the bar at Outback. This could be a fun little date and the bartender might be interesting chit chat.

If that doesn't suit your fancy, get a takeout and give it to the first homeless person you see ( I have done that before with giftcards).
Why not just give them the gift card?
Either way, but I suggested she get the food because most O.S.'s are in the suburbs and the homeless people I encounter are in the city near where I live. I don't know any homeless people with cars nor any O.S.'s near a metro stop. And who knows if the bus would go near any O.S.'s.

I've never been to one (the opportunity has just never presented itself I guess) but based on this thread I now want a blooming onion. If I truly didn't want to spend more than the 50 sounds like I should bring a friend, and get drinks, an onion, and another app. Sounds like a good happy hour!

Why not regift or sell the card?
