A Chicago Outback Steakhouse restaurant is relocating to Des Plaines at 2805 Mannheim Road, northeast of O’Hare International Airport and five miles away from its original location.

Though the new restaurant is expected to open this month, according to an August 2 report from DailyHerald.com, no specific date has yet been announced by the company.

The state and territory with the most number of Outback Steakhouse locations in the US is Florida, with 95 restaurants, which is about 14% of all Outback Steakhouse restaurants in the US.
