Outback Steakhouse at 3401 Granville Ave is a full-service steakhouse on Muncie’s north-side retail strip, beside the Muncie Mall area and just off the McGalliard Road commercial corridor. This Australian-themed chain location, rated 4.2 by diners, draws families, groups, and Ball State visitors for grilled steaks, generous plates, and a dependable sit-down meal.
Most tables start with the Bloomin’ Onion, Outback’s signature fried, petal-cut onion served with spicy dipping sauce. The menu centers on seasoned, grilled steaks such as the Center-Cut Sirloin and Victoria’s Filet Mignon, which is a tender cut. Non-steak eaters often order Alice Springs Chicken, ribs, or seafood. Warm, dark bushman bread arrives early, and Aussie Cheese Fries round out the shareable plates. The bar pours cocktails and beer for diners waiting on a table. A dedicated gluten-free menu makes the restaurant easier for guests with dietary restrictions.
