Free Bloomin Onion for Outback Bowl?
On Saturday, January 2, the Mississippi State Bulldogs played the Illinois Fighting Illini in Tampa, Florida. As much as I like football, I would watch this College Bowl Game to see what free appetizer from Outback I could get.
The big question on everyone’s mind always was, “Will I get a free Bloomin’ Onion of free Coconut Shrimp?” Now, there’s a bigger question…
Outback Bowl is now the Reliaquest Bowl
It seems we may no longer get to enjoy a free Outback appetizer after a Bowl game. I just learned the Outback Bowl is now known as the Reliaquest Bowl.
Outback Steakhouse sponsored the bowl game from 1995-2022. Reliaquest signed a four-year sponsorship agreement on June 9, 2022. Starting in 2023, the Tampa Bay Bowl game will now be known as the Reliaquest Bowl.
2022 Outback Bowl Free Appetizer
Arkansas defeated Penn State 24-10. Usually, that means you could visit your local Outback Steakhouse on January 3, 2022 and say “Outback Bowl” to your server to receive a FREE APPETIZER with any purchase.
Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any mention of a free Bloomin Onion this year. If anything changes, you know I’ll let you know here.
2021 Outback Bowl Free Bloomin Onion
Last year, the Ole Miss Rebels (SEC team) won, so we all got a FREE Bloomin’ Onion® on 1/3/21. Say “Outback Bowl” to your server to receive the offer.
2020 Outback Bowl Free Appetizer: Coconut Shrimp
If Auburn University won, we’d all get an Outback Steakhouse Free Bloomin Onion on January 2, 2020. But since the University of Minnesota won, we got a FREE Coconut Shrimp Aussie-Tizer.
Where food is concerned, everyone is a winner at the Outback Bowl. But since Minnesota won in 2020, anyone got a free Coconut Shrimp from Outback.
Keep in mind, this free appetizer offer is limited to one per table per visit. The other important distinction is that you cannot combine it with any other coupon or discount. So just make sure the value of the coconut shrimp is larger than whatever coupon you may have.
