tOutback Steakhouse has been referred to as the number one steakhouse in a survey conducted by 2009 Zagat Survey of National Full-Service Restaurant Chains. They sell not just yummy and delicious food but also care for affected soldiers of the U.S who need both financial aid and emotional support.

“The sacrifices that our troops and their families make so we can enjoy the freedoms we have in the United States is something Outback employees have recognized and appreciated since we opened our doors 22 years ago,” said Liz Smith, CEO of OSI Restaurant Partners, parent company of Outback Steakhouse. “Our commitment to donate $1 million to Operation Homefront reflects our appreciation to those who give so much.”

So Outback Steakhouse has teamed up with an NGO called Operation Homefront to ensure that some of the very affected soldiers of wars get all the help that they actually need when it comes to both mental and financial support.

“As a retired member of the U.S. military and on behalf of our troops serving in locations far and wide, I’d like to thank Outback Steakhouse for its support over the years,” said General Tommy Franks (Ret.).  “This support, coupled with the current effort to help our active and retired servicemen, women and their families, is greatly appreciated.”

In order to further the cause they have also paired up with Tim McGraw and made him a face for the campaign to get more help and raise a lot of awareness for this important cause of the NGO.

“When I learned about Outback’s commitment to the troops and history of helping our local communities, it really felt like the perfect fit to partner with them in their efforts,” said McGraw.  “Together with Outback, our shared goal is to help raise awareness and funds to help our selfless servicemen and women.”
