The Outback Steakhouse secret menu exists because the kitchen already builds every part of it. Nothing here appears on a board or in the app. Each build combines two or three standard items that a server rings up separately.
Outback Steakhouse runs table service, which changes the ask. A counter crew hears a description and assembles it; a server at Outback Steakhouse carries plates from a kitchen that cooks to a ticket. Most of these builds therefore finish at the table, by the customer.
The short answer
Six builds make up the Outback Steakhouse secret menu, and all six come from items already on the card. Tasmanian Chili tops three of them, over fries, a baked potato or a burger patty. A steak dip or shrimp entrée carries the rest. A server rings up the pieces separately, and the customer finishes the build at the table.

Outback Steakhouse Secret Menu Items and How to Order
Every build below starts from something Outback Steakhouse already sells, and the components ring up as separate items. Tasmanian Chili and the Three Cheese Steak Dip are the add-ons, and each row pairs a base item’s price with the add-on beside it.
None of this counts as an official offer. Outback Steakhouse trains its kitchens on the printed card and its calorie counts, and a manager can decline any assembly. Ordering at a quiet hour improves the odds more than any wording does.
Outback Steakhouse Chili-Topped Builds
Tasmanian Chili does the heavy lifting on three of the six Outback Steakhouse secret menu builds. Poured over Aussie Cheese Fries it turns a shareable starter into something closer to a main. The same cup works on a Dressed Baked Potato or over the Outbacker patty.
Aussie Cheese Fries arrive under melted cheese and bacon already, so the chili adds heat and beans rather than dairy. One cup stretches across two burgers. The kitchen sends the chili in its own bowl, which keeps the fries crisp until the pour.
| Item | How to order it | Base price |
|---|---|---|
| Aussie Chili Cheese Fries | Order Aussie Cheese Fries and a Tasmanian Chili, then pour the chili, cheese and scallions over the fries | Aussie Cheese Fries $13.79, plus a Tasmanian Chili |
| Chili Cheese Baked Potato | Order a Dressed Baked Potato, which arrives with sour cream, bacon, cheese and scallions, then tip the chili over it | Dressed Baked Potato $3.99, plus a Tasmanian Chili |
| Chili Cheese Hamburger | Order The Half-Pound Outbacker Burger with a Tasmanian Chili, lift the top bun and spoon the chili and cheese over the patty | The Half-Pound Outbacker Burger $14.99, plus a Tasmanian Chili |
Outback Steakhouse Rice Bowl and Mac Builds
Three Cheese Steak Dip carries two of these Outback Steakhouse secret menu builds, and a shrimp entrée carries the third. Asking for an empty bowl is the step most people miss. Broccoli and seasoned rice both arrive as standard sides, and what each component declares does not change when they meet in a bowl.
Half the Three Cheese Steak Dip is enough for a full mac, so the rest still works as a starter for the table. Bloomin’ Sauce came free at the location where these builds were assembled, though that is a local call. Crumbled tortilla chips finish the mac well.
| Item | How to order it | Base price |
|---|---|---|
| Bloomin’ Shrimp Rice Bowl | Order Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie with broccoli and seasoned rice as the two sides, ask for Bloomin’ Sauce and an empty bowl, then stir it together | Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie $15.99 |
| Loaded Cheesesteak Mac & Cheese | Order a Three Cheese Steak Dip and a Steakhouse Mac & Cheese, then stir roughly half the dip through the mac in two stages | Steakhouse Mac & Cheese $5.99, plus a Three Cheese Steak Dip |
| Cheese Steak Rice Bowl | Order a Three Cheese Steak Dip with sides of broccoli and seasoned rice, ask for an empty bowl and combine all three | Broccoli $4.99 + Seasoned Rice $3.99, plus a Three Cheese Steak Dip |
Ordering the Outback Steakhouse Secret Menu
Where the order goes in decides whether it arrives at all. Outback Steakhouse servers ring up two menu items and bring an extra bowl without troubling the kitchen. Asking the line to combine them puts the whole build in a server’s hands, and no one has to agree.
Curbside and delivery orders leave no room to pour the chili or set out the extra bowl, so all six builds fall apart in transit. Dine-in works best for all six. A quiet table grants odd requests more readily than a packed Friday evening at Outback Steakhouse.
| Where you order | What works |
|---|---|
| At the table | Best. A server rings up each item and brings an extra bowl |
| Curbside pickup | Limited. No table to assemble on, and the chili builds travel badly |
| Delivery | Poor. Components arrive cold or already combined, and the fries lose their crunch |
| Mobile app | Not possible. The app lists standard items with standard options only |
