Outback Steakhouse Opening 3rd Bucks Co. Location

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — Bucks County steak lovers will be getting a new spot to chow down, if they don't fill up on bloomin' onions first.

The Falls Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously voted to approve land-development approval for a group bringing an Outback Steakhouse to town.

The vote will allow Oxford Valley Road Associates to demolish the former Old Country Buffet at 650 Commerce Blvd. and build a 6,620-square-foot, 240-seat Outback restaurant in its place.

It will be Outback Steakhouse's third Bucks County location. The Australian-themed chain currently has locations in Bensalem and Jamison.

Outback representatives say building plans are under way and construction will start by spring 2019. Demolition of the current building and construction of the new one is expected to take about five months.

The new restaurant will include a concrete patio and be a big smaller than the Old Country Buffet, which closed in March 2016. Entrance and exit at the site, which is next to Best Buy in The Court at Oxford Valley, will remain the same.
