Outback Steakhouse - Medford, MA

Outback Steakhouse- 6.7

Oh, the Outback Steakhouse. You are fine dining for college students and young professionals with no money here in the US and abroad. Between the Bloomin' Onion, the 22oz beers and fine selection of steak, you've gained a reputation around the world for good service, good food, good portions all at a reasonable rate. This particular Outback is located at 672 Fellsway in Medford, MA.

Location: The Blokes room is a bit difficult to locate. Once in the restaurant, pass the hostess and walk past the bar area. Once past the bar, take a left and you'll be in the right place. This is the back left corner of the restaurant. The Sheilas room is there as well.
Grade: 4 out of 10

Accessibility: If you've been to The Outback, you know that they have a hostess. If you're waiting for a table I'm sure they'd be glad to let you use the facilities, if not you might be able to sneak by or just walk in as if you're taking a seat at the bar. Should be ok.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Number of Stalls: This Outback had two stalls, one of which is a handicapped stall. There were also two urinals leaving plenty of options for those who don't need to #2.
Grade: 7 out of 10


Stall Quality: The handicapped stall is very sizable while the other stall is quite a bit smaller. All in all they even each other out. The handicapped stall is much nicer.

Toiler Paper: Very nice toilet paper set up, locked up very tightly! It was also plentiful, no worries here...
Grade: 8 out of 10

Cleanliness: Some normal restaurant paper towel type mess. That said, the restroom has an over clean type of feel.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Scent: The smell in here was actually noticeable pleasant. They do have a mechanical bathroom spray device. It seems to be doing a bang up job!
Grade: 10 out of 10

Flush: Be careful here as the flush in both toilets was noticeably weak. I'd also warn that one of the toilets was clogged. There was a plunger located under the sink, but that might not be the most help.
Grade: 3 out of 10

Aesthetics: They've definitely made an effort to make this bathroom seem a bit friendly. They have a nice soap set up with nicer soap than usual and paper towels nicely laid out. They even make it kid friendly with a stool in case they are not tall enough for the sink (or the urinal for that matter).
Grade: 8 out of 10

Extra Credit:
Plunger: +1

The Bottom Line: If you're at the Outback and need to relieve yourself be confident that their facilities will get the job done. Beware of the weak flush, if you have a larger than usual delivery for the toilet, you might want to break things up into a few flushes if possible.
