Irene Jiang / Business Insider Outback Steakhouse and Texas Roadhouse are similarly branded restaurants, but Texas Roadhouse vastly outpaces Outback in customer loyalty. I went to the Outback Steakhouse in Manhattan and the Texas Roadhouse in Teterboro, New Jersey, to see how the dining experiences compared. I ordered the same meal at each restaurant: a house salad, the chain's most popular appetizer, a house margarita, and a bone-in ribeye steak with a loaded baked potato and a side of vegetables. While both restaurants had their strong points, such as service, the quality of Texas Roadhouse's food and the overall cohesiveness of its dining experience made it the clear winner of this comparison.

Texas Roadhouse and Outback Steakhouse are similar at first glance: They're both American chain restaurants that serve steak, and they were both founded thousands of miles away from their namesakes.
