The Outback is in a free standing building at the northwest corner of the Plaza Bonita parking lot. Patio dining is available all year long--except maybe when it is raining--and heaters are provided for chilly days or nights.
They are only open for dinner, except on Saturday and Sunday they open at noon.
Favorite Dish: This is a comfortable spot to have a few drinks with friends and the Appetizer menu has many items to appease the the palate before the main meal. Prime rib is what I usually order and end up taking most of it home as I'm almost full after a few drinks and a sampling of the appetizers.

Applebee's is not one of my favorites, mainly because it offers no outside dining. It is a "local neighborhood" type restaurant, sporty, and nicely decorated. Service is good, sometimes slow due to the volume of customers and the food is tasty.
It is an ideal place for larger parties as the atmosphere is festive and relaxing. The price of a meal here is less expensive than at the Outback. They oftentimes offer a special dinner deal $20.00 for two. One appetizer, two Entres and dessert. The menu for this deal is limited, but not too limited and the choices are good.
Favorite Dish: Order your favorite cocktail from the full service bar and munch on chicken wings, the cruncy onion rings or any of the other offerings. Mexican food is on the menu, but as this is not a real Mexican restaurant, I usually choose one of their chicken dishes or a steak.

At the Plaza Bonita food court there are many options to choose, from a simple drink at Orange Julius or the Cyberbrew Cafe to a full meal at any of the American, Chinese, Japanese or Filipino food stalls.
The advantage to eating at the food court is that everyone in your party can order their favorite type of food. Plenty of tables and seats are provided and it is a refreshing place to take a break from the days shopping.
Update:
Plaza Bonita has gone throught a total rennovation and the food court has moved to the southern side of the mall, next to the movie theater.
Favorite Dish: Toyko Teriyaki has very good chicken teriyaki and the food served at Panda Express has a good flavor.
The Cyberbrew Cafe is new, so I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a place I'd like to stop at for a cup of coffee.

Soothing Muave decor, attentive service and delicious food. Ken, our very accommodating waiter, turned out to also be our cook and the restaurant's owner. He along with his wife runs the place with pride and they do a fine job of it. I hadn't been here before, nor had I even beem aware of it.
Most of the menu items were $6.96 (If you want to add duck or shrimp to the dish, add $2.00, which seems a fair deal to me.)
Favorite Dish: Mixed Vegetables with peanut sauce is what I ordered and the flavor was very good. The other dishes my friends had were very satisfactory for them as well. We could have our food as spicey as we liked, or not at all. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes looked as nice as they tasted.
