Aussie Grill is essentially a fast-casual, drive-thru version of Outback. The Outback brand, synonymous with steaks, cocktails and bloomin onions, is more of a dine-in type place. So Aussie Grill seems to be Bloomin Brands answer to the growing convenience-based dining market, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first Aussie Grill locations opened just two years ago in Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and in the U.S., where it now has restaurants in California, Utah, Colorado, Nevada and Florida.
On the menu, diners will find fast-casual menu staples like chicken sandwiches and burgers, and also large plates that seem to take their inspiration from Outback.

Stuff the Bus accepting school supply donations at Westfield Brandon mall
It s what s right with Tampa Bay
TAMPA, Fla. - The first day of school is just a month away and school supplies are needed for children with parents that can t afford them. A local business is leading the way to Stuff the Bus.
Thanks, to COVID-19 there s not much inventory at the Hillsborough Education Foundation Teaching Tools Resource Center in Tampa. Our largest source of school supplies is through our supply drives, explained Kim Jowell, the CEO of Hillsborough Education Foundation.
So, last year when the pandemic hit, businesses were closed and people were not out, social distancing was in place. Now, that restrictions are lifting, businesses like Westfield Brandon are paying it forward by participating in the Stuff the Bus campaign.
