Outback Steakhouse In Falls Moves Closer To Opening

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — An Outback Steakhouse scheduled to open later this year in Falls Township took another step forward this week.

The Falls Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the transfer of a liquor license from Warrington for use at the yet-to-be-built, 6,620-square foot restaurant.

The Outback will be at 650 Commerce Blvd., at the former site of the Old Country Buffet. That's next to the Best Buy in The Court at Oxford Valley.

Since Falls had already reached its quota of one liquor license per every 3,000 residents, Outback had to buy and transfer an existing license from somewhere else.

Attorney Ellen Freeman told the supervisors that alcohol is served as a complement to the meal at
Outback Steakhouse restaurants. She said the food-to-alcohol ratio at existing Outback restaurants is 70% food to 30% alcohol.

Once completed, the restaurant will have seating for 200 people, Freeman said. It will have an outdoor patio waiting area, but patrons will not be allowed to take alcoholic drinks outside.
