One of Baton Rouge's two Outback Steakhouses has closed

The Outback Steakhouse on Jones Creek Boulevard in Baton Rouge has closed its doors, wrapping up its final day of service Sunday.

Located at 5280 Jones Creek Road, the Outback Steakhouse took down its sign after 24 years of operation, according to company spokesperson Elizabeth Daly.

The Tampa-Florida-based Bloomin' Brands chain restaurant has about 670 locations in the United States and is known for its Australian-inspired flair, steaks and Bloomin' Onions. Bloomin' Brands also provides management team and infrastructure support to other well-known restaurant chains, including Bonefish Grill, Carrabba's and Fleming's.

"Closing a restaurant is never easy," Daly said in a statement to The Advocate. "This was a business decision that is not a reflection of the management or staff."
