A woman who ordered Outback Steakhouse’s $75 chicken family meal for a dinner with friends shared her experience in a TikTok video. Kat, who posts under the username @katscraving, showed the foil containers that arrived and walked through each item while standing in her kitchen. She said the meal was meant to feed a group of six and that she wanted to see whether the portions matched the claim. Kat explained that she selected the chicken version of the Blooming Bundle instead of steak. She stated that friends were coming over and that the group probably would not eat for about another hour. Reheating steak felt wrong to her, she added, so the chicken option seemed more practical for the evening. She noted that the order was supposed to serve four adults and two toddlers. In the TikTok video, which has gained over a million views, Kat held up the tray of grilled chicken and said the six pieces were a really good size. She claimed that one piece felt perfect for an adult. She then described the sides that came with the six-person option, pointing out that the restaurant only offered three side choices and that her group had taken one of each. Contents of the $75 chicken Blooming Bundle and the bread that arrived Kat first showed a tray of French fries and said she knew the toddlers would like them. Next she lifted a container of mashed potatoes and tilted it toward the camera. She stated that the portion was not even halfway full and called it pretty disappointing. For the third side, she held up a tray of broccoli, explaining that the seasonal vegetable option had looked better in the promotional photo. She said she was kind of disappointed that it was just broccoli and that the choice felt a little bit boring. She then displayed a large family-sized salad topped with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, shredded cheese, and croutons. Kat noted that the restaurant offered several dressing choices and that her group had selected light balsamic. After the salad she pointed to two loaves of Outback’s brown bread sitting in paper bags on the counter. She said the meal came with only two pieces and added, “I don’t know why they only gave us 2 for 6 people.” Summarizing the full order, Kat stated that this was one of the more expensive family meals she had tried. She told viewers, “I’m honestly a little bit disappointed. $75 is just a lot of money for like the amount of food that we got.” She asked whether people thought the deal was worth it and said she was not sure. She also invited viewers to return for a second video showing what remained after the group ate. In a follow-up TikTok clip, Kat showed the leftovers from the same order after the four adults and two toddlers had finished. She claimed the toddlers had barely eaten and that roughly half a piece of chicken was left. The chicken breasts had been large, she said, but the children had not eaten them, so the meat had mainly served the adults. About one-third of the fries and one-third of the broccoli remained, while more than half of the mashed potatoes was still in the container. The salad container had arrived full, she explained, and a good amount was left. Both loaves of bread were untouched because she had forgotten to put them on the table. Kat said the quantity had been more than enough for the group, yet she still could not get past the $75 price. She then compared the bundle to individual meals, holding up a tablet that listed Outback’s grilled chicken on the barbie at $19.49 at her location. Family bundle math has raised eyebrows elsewhere too, like when a customer said her Olive Garden family meal didn’t add up. Four of those meals would have cost over $77, she calculated, and six would have been about $116. She stated that if the group had ordered separately, she did not think each person would have chosen the same item, and she was unsure whether they would order the bundle again. Portion complaints like hers are common at steakhouse chains, as when Longhorn Steakhouse served a pathetic chicken salad. In a third TikTok video, Kat recreated a similar spread at home using ingredients from Walmart. She said the cooking took less than 40 minutes and that she used boneless chicken thighs because her family prefers them to breasts. She prepared fries, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and a large salad with the same toppings, plus larger brown bread loaves from the Cheesecake Factory. A receipt graphic she showed totaled $38.72. She claimed that was a $37 difference from the restaurant price and that the homemade version tasted better and provided more food. Several viewers reacted to her first video by questioning the value of the $75 bundle. One commenter suggested a simpler approach at home and wrote, “You could’ve made this.” Another dismissed the offer outright, stating, “easy pass.” A third focused on the price versus the portions and wrote, “$75 for that not really a good deal.” Some comments compared the meal to grocery costs. One person estimated the ingredients would cost far less in a store and wrote, “About 17$ at the grocery store.” Another went further, saying they could have prepared more food for less money, writing, “Absolutely not I could’ve made something better and cheaper and more food.”
