From Server to Owner: Gretta Jackson Makes Outback Steakhouse History
Gretta Jackson started at Outback Steakhouse at 18, a college freshman and young mother working part-time to support her daughter.

Nearly 20 years later, she has achieved a remarkable milestone as the first Black woman to own and operate an Outback Steakhouse franchise in the Detroit area, in Roseville, Michigan.

Her inspiring rise from server to franchise owner is gaining recognition worldwide.
Gretta shares that her greatest joy is motivating other Black women, especially her own daughter, proving that dedication and perseverance can turn dreams into reality.

Family-style service turns any event into a shared experience. Passing plates, lingering conversations, and a table that feels warm instead of formal. If you’re looking for something that feels intentional and connected, family-style is always a good choice.

Success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built day by day. Some days you’ll feel unstoppable, and others you’ll wonder if it’s even worth it. But if you believe in what you’re building, keep showing up. Even when it’s quiet. Even when no one’s watching. Because every step forward still counts. 💪🏽
