7 Discontinued Outback Steakhouse Menu Items We Wish Would Make a Comeback

Taking advantage of seasonal deals, shopping at affordable stores, and buying in bulk can help you save money on groceries, freeing up funds for the occasional splurge. But there's nothing more depressing than saving up for a meal at your favorite steakhouse only to find that one or more of your favorite menu items have been discontinued.

Outback Steakhouse fans have said goodbye to these items over the years. See if your favorite has disappeared, and hope that one day, they'll make a comeback.

Quesadillas are far from traditional Aussie flair, but Outback put its unique spin on the dish with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, portabella mushrooms, parsley, and garlic salt. Tender chicken breast brought the dish together, resulting in a flavorful, protein-packed entree.

While you can no longer order this item, Alice Springs Chicken is still available as a standard Outback menu item, and last night's leftovers can make for a tasty quesadilla addition the next day.

You'll find a fine spread of soups on Outback's menu, but sadly for fans, the Walkabout Onion Soup is no longer one of them; with its creamy combination of sweet onions, Velveeta cheese, warm creole seasoning, and chicken stock base, the cozy soup made for the perfect start to your steak dinner.

If you whip up your own batch at home, top it with plenty of cheddar cheese and serve it alongside an order of the chain's sweet, hearty bread.

Outback's one-of-a-kind brownie cake, made with Australian Tim Tam cookies, has recently left the menu for good. In a post about the dessert, Reddit user HEP311 lamented, "[T]hat dessert is what brought me back to Outback time and time again… the Tim Tim cake was something I couldn't find anywhere else."

The grilled pork chops currently on Outback's menu come with creole marmalade and a side of homestyle mashed potatoes. It's a tasty entreé option, but the flavors are quite different from Outback's former Jackaroo pork chops, which were grilled with a tasty honey-mustard marmalade.

Plus, you can no longer order warm cinnamon apples as a side.

Like everything else on Outback's menu, its one-time apple-centric dessert was larger than life. The recipe called for warm apples topped with heaping scoops of pecan-coated ice cream dusted with cinnamon sugar, drizzled with caramel, and finished with homemade cinnamon-sugar croutons.

Though it's been removed from the main menu, there's still a chance this dessert could make an occasional appearance on a seasonal menu, so keep your fingers crossed.

Longtime Outback fans will remember when the chain once served waffles. Like Outback's foray into beignets and milkshakes, its waffle flirtation was short-lived.

Fortunately, the dessert menu is still packed with rich desserts that suit any palate, and most are a little more Aussie-inflected than one of America's favorite breakfast items.

Outback's now-retired sundae included everything you'd expect from a typical sundae—including whipped cream and chocolate sauce— with one key twist: the sundae's vanilla ice cream was rolled in toasted coconut, elevating the dessert from a tried-and-true classic to a truly inspired Outback original.

If you've been saving money so you can go out to eat more, only to be disappointed by the loss of your favorite Outback appetizer or steak dinner, don't lose hope. Chains from Taco Bell to Applebee's have been known to bring back customer favorites.

Consider leaving a comment after your next visit to let Outback know which classic dishes you'd love to see again.
