There's steakhouse action in the mid-cities with a new branch of Outback
Steakhouse opening in Euless at 2601 SH 121 on October 18. Managing
partner Scott Ruka says in a release that the company is honored to be part of
the community. Following the company's pattern with new openings, the
restaurant will make a donation to a local charity, this time a group called 6
Stones.
If you haven't left your house lately, Outback is the Australian-themed chain
serving steaks, seafood, and steakhouse fare. Its parent company is Bloomin'
Brands, which also owns Carraba's, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Steakhouse.
This opening is a pleasant surprise, coming as it does after a round of closures
that Bloomin' Brands executed in February, when it shuttered 43 restaurants
that were not performing well.
But before you get overly excited, it really just replaces a previous location at
1031 W. SH 114 in Grapevine, which closed on October 10. A spokesperson
calls it a "relocation," following a trend of recent Outback relocations in
Florida and Oklahoma City.
"The new Euless location is at the new Glade Parks retail center, which offers
improved access and visibility," the spokesperson says.
There are 14 Outbacks overall in the DFW area, with the closest branches to
Euless being in Hurst and Irving. If you live in the mid-cities and you like
Outback, you're all set.
The new Outback will serve all of the chain's signature dishes: grilled steaks,
chicken, seafood, and the famed eye-catching Bloomin' Onion fried appetizer.
This location also boasts a new-ish "Modern Australia" design, which seems to
consist of photos of kangaroos, desert and seaside landscapes, wood fittings,
and images of random kitchen accessories such as seasonings and knives.
Bloomin' Brands, Inc. was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in Tampa,
Florida.
Here’s why the sky was so
smoky near Arlington
Thursday

ARLINGTON
If you noticed the sky was extra hazy Thursday, particularly near Arlington and
Grand Prairie, it was likely from a controlled burn in the Midlothian area,
officials said.
Arlington firefighters received 15-20 calls about the smoke on Thursday morning,
said Lt. David Tyler, fire department spokesman.
Euless and Grand Prairie fire departments also were receiving reports of smoke
in the area. Some of the heaviest smoke was being reported at the south end of
D/FW Airport, according to a Facebook post from Euless police.
The controlled burn was about 30 miles south of the airport, off U.S. 287 in
Midlothian, the post said.
