Tucked inside Syracuse, Indiana, Down Under Bar & Restaurant delivers a surprisingly diverse and flavorful menu that punches well above its casual vibe. Their Aussie Burger is a standout — stacked high with bacon, a perfectly fried egg, and beetroot, it’s a hearty nod to its namesake. The Boomerang Shrimp is another crowd-pleaser, lightly battered, tossed in a zesty sauce, and served with just the right crunch. For something indulgent, the Down Under Mac & Cheese with smoky bacon and a hint of spice brings serious comfort food energy.
Seafood lovers won’t want to miss the Grilled Mahi Tacos, loaded with fresh toppings and a citrus slaw that cuts through the richness beautifully. The Fish & Chips offer a golden, crispy batter with tender white fish inside — classic, yet expertly executed. On the lighter side, the Outback Chicken Salad is surprisingly fresh and colorful, topped with grilled chicken, seasonal veggies, and a tangy vinaigrette that ties it all together.
Their Steak Bites appetizer is tender and boldly seasoned, great for sharing or hoarding all to yourself. The Loaded Aussie Fries, smothered in cheese, bacon, and house-made ranch, are sinfully addictive — definitely not diet-friendly, but absolutely worth it. If you’re into wings, the Down Under Wings come in a variety of sauces from mild to fiery, each packing its own punch without overwhelming the meat.
Even the pizzas surprise — the Kangaroo Pie, loaded with pepperoni, sausage, and jalapeños, is a spicy, meaty explosion that’s hard to stop eating. And don’t skip dessert — their Deep-Fried Cheesecake wrapped in a crispy shell is warm, creamy, and dangerously good. Every dish has its own character, making the Down Under menu not just a meal, but a tasting journey across comforting, bold, and creative flavors.
