Massachusetts has seen a number of restaurants shut down recently as people are saving money on dining out. Restaurant chains like Friendly's, 99 Restaurants and Chili's have all shuttered underperforming restaurants in 2024.

One restaurant that shut down 41 stores in 2024 was Outback Steakhouse. The casual dining restaurant is one of the places I like to dine at when I'm in the Springfield area. I'm a big fan of their steak options and clam chowder, and of course who doesn't love the restaurant's Bloomin' Onion appetizer? I've had nothing but great experiences and service at Outback.

Just like some of the other restaurants that were mentioned earlier. Outback has felt some setbacks as 41 locations across eight states were closed in 2024.

Were Any Outback Restaurants Closed in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts wasn't one of the eight states included in the 41 Outback closures that occurred in 2024. Likewise, there hasn't been any word that any of the Massachusetts locations are planning to shut down in the near future.

 

If you're looking for a casual dining experience or somewhere to go for a special occasion, Outback may just fill the bill. There's enough on the menu for everyone to choose from.  Outback Steakhouse has 9 locations in Massachusetts including the following:
