Outback Steakhouse

Came to the Outback for a friends birthday.
Terrible service, I had to remind the waitress for my salad and refills; had I not have, I would have never gotten said items.
My friend had to send a steak back.
From the appearance of the fried items such as chicken strips or blooming onion, it is apparent that the oil they are using needs to be changed. It is only the middle of the day.
A higher standard of quality was expected out of this restaurant. They were neither understaffed, nor packed with guests. One star to the waitress for her effort.

Had dinner here last night, and my experience was absolutely unforgettable. My family had planned a surprise party for me which they made reservations for about 20 people. Upwards of about 40 people showed up. The manager Brandon Hume was accommodating and hospitable. My server was amazing his name was Brandon also (forget the last name, sorry) he was waiting on about 25 of us and made sure we had enough drinks, checking on us several times. He was friendly and had a great attitude. The food was really good, and came out pretty fast. I was impressed to say the least. I had the Ahi tuna salad, I would recommend it to anyone. Part of the group sat at another table but had all of the same positive comments about how friendly and attentive the staff was, and just the great service that was provided. Thank you so much Outback!!!

Have tried all Outback Steak restaurants in South Sound. This establishment hands down has best service staff of them all. And the prime rib is evident of the chef’s care to detail. Intimate booths surround central bar where Heidi and/​or Amanda? Are very attentive to your wishes. Good steak, good service staff, and plenty of easy parking make this a weekly stop for my friends and myself.

Have eaten at this location several times but loved our last visit he most. Thank you to Brandon our server for making the experience that much better. He accommodated everyone at the table right down to sweet tea that wasn’t even on the menu. Thank you for going the extra mile man. That was a meal with 3 generations that was long over due and 2 people at the table that have never eaten there.

Unilocal says they close at 10 PM Monday through Thursday. The Outback website also says they close at 10 PM Monday through Thursday. But the door says they close at 9:30 and the front door was locked at 9:40 PM on a Wednesday.
If they won’t be honest about their closing time, it’s a good thing because I can’t trust what they say about food quality.

Went here for our Anniversary and Valentine’s Day dinner at 1:00. I can understand it going to be busy but why not staff up for it. It took forever to get the salad we ordered. When it finally arrived out came the steaks following them. The server took a long time refill the drinks I was afraid to drink my sodas to fast knowing it would not be filled or take long time to have it done. We had ordered the special for two for $ 50. When we were almost done we over heard another table had ordered the same thing and wanted the cheesecake to share. Find out they had been out since Friday. You would think the server would have said something when you placed your order so you can possibly do something different or be ok with it. We asked for the manager to explain everything he came over and apologized said he was understaffed in the kitchen. On that note why not the server do better to make the guest feel taken care of while they wait for food. Thanks again for making Anniversary not so good.

My husband and I eat at this location once a week. We always sit in the bar. The bartender (I won’t post her name for privacy reasons) is phenomenal. We are always well taken care of. Do yourself a favor, sit in the bar!

Staff is phenomenal! Greeted warmly and cheerfully, sat in bar. Server and bartender went out of their way to make sure we were happy and satisfied. First time here in years. We will come back! Wedge salad was amazing… Food wasn’t superb, but staff takes the award. Bartender Lee (I think was her name) was so attentive and did everything in the bar, if the waitress was busy she was right there to help back her up. They are lucky to have the staff they have!
Atmosphere was good, clean. We never had an empty glass or an empty great tray, or dishes left! Service was 10 star!

You know it’s going to be a swell meal when it starts out with your waiter bringing your bread over and saying «watch out its a little crispy»
Why would you even bring it over then??? Grab another loaf!
There were two other tables besides mine and it still took forever to get my salad. Well if you want to call it that. Half the lettuce was brown and the dressing had been in there so long the crotons were soggy. My steak was half undercooked on one side and my potatoes tasted like cardboard… They should be ashamed to have «steakhouse» in there title.

This place is a joke. Fiancé and I decided, we wanted to have a nice dinner out. In total, our visit lasted over 2 HOURS. It took the server 15 minutes before she even asked us what we wanted to drink. We finally got to order. Our appetizer (blooming onion) was half raw and still uncooked batter. Next, the server brought my side salad in which I found hair. Lastly, our meals were cold and not cooked how we asked. This was our first time there and definitely our last.

Worst outback I’ve ever been to. My family of 4 and I ordered our food for take out. The service was slow.
When we got home to take our food out, 2 of the steaks were not cooked the way we ordered them. We ordered them well and got them medium rare.
3 of us ordered LOADED baked potatoes and all they gave us was a potato. Absolutely nothing to put on it. No butter, no sour cream, bacon bits nothing. Just a potato.
They left out 2 of the sides we ordered and got the dressing wrong on the salads that came with the meal.
We can easily say we will NOT be coming back to this outback as this is the 3^rd time they’ve gotten our orders messed up.
WE DONT RECOMMEND.

Waitress in the bar area stated, «I don’t know what else to tell you.» The food was great and didn’t ask to see if I wanted another drink. Jennifer was rude and had an attitude. I will not come back to this outback.

We here last night with friends sat in the bar. The service was very slow kept having to ask for someone to take our order. The food was ok the guys liked there steaks my chicken was very small and for 15 dollars all you get is a small pc of chicken and some vegys no potato or rice or salad without paying more

Sadly they have ruined their classic recipes and still are packed! Shrimp on the Barbie was a sad imitation with white toast, tomato and no orange sauce at all! Steak was over cooked with soapy awful garlic mashed potatoes. It sucks. The meal made me cry for what the food was in 2002.
They over cooked the steak for their own guide. What a waste of time and money. I’ll never return again.

Date night at Outback wasn’t too bad. The wait time, at a busy hour, was only about 15 minutes. When we were seated our waiter came very quickly and was very polite. We got our drinks fast as well as our Blooming Onion and bread. Parts of the onion were over cooked but it was still good. The bread was awesome… but the butter was frozen. When our meal came it looked very delicious. I had the Alice Springs Chicken and loaded mashed potatoes! Amazing! My husband had the shrimp pasta… great taste… but cold. Overall not too bad… but could have been better.

Frozen butter with the bread. No clean olates for the bread. Took 10 minuets alone just for our drinks (sprite and water) to come out.

This was not a good experience! We should have sent our steaks back; because not only were they undercooked, but I think we got the wrong steaks, too. Mine looked more like a Flat Iron vs. Victoria’s Filet. And, I don’t know what kind of steak my husband got, but it did not look like Prime Rib. The Blooming Onion appetizer & garlic mashed potatoes were really good, and I really liked the Bleu Cheese Pecan Chopped Salad.
Our waiter was nice, but another table got our bill & credit card, and we got theirs. That’s not good! Then to top it off, I got cheesecake to go. You know for $ 5.49, I would have gotten a huge piece at any other restaurant. This was a third of the size it should have been. We’ll never go back to Outback Steakhouse again!

Worst experience ever! So dark I had trouble reading the menu, our appetizers served after the dinner and the lobster was a deformed rubbery dried up mess. Our plates came out one at a time and my food was cold by the time the others arrived… one… by…one.
This is the last time I go to any outback.

I was not impressed with my experience at the Puyallup Outback Steakhouse. The service was very slow and the waitress didn’t seem to know what their promotion was. We asked for the Date Night Steak Night dinner for two– a promotion that’s been going on for over a week. It was barely advertised in the restaurant (though it WAS advertised there) so we looked it up online. Two sirloins, two sides, two salads and a blooming onion and cheese cake for $ 38. She was totally clueless and when we got our check she had charged us $ 40. I know it’s only $ 2, but I don’t like being overcharged. We would’ve asked her to fix it, but that would have required waiting another half hour for her to return to our table.
Only giving two stores because the food was not bad and cooked to order. Just upset with the service.

really dont get the bad reviews here, been here 5 times now at this location, and every time the food is perfect. Most of the time I get the Outback Special Medium cooked, always been cooked perfectly and taste great!
I just LOVE that bread they have! I wouldn’t mind taken a Whole big loaf home with me it’s so good!
And of course, the salad is good, I always get the Tangy tomato sauce with it, my only dislike here is they have Coke products– BLEAH!
The service started out rather slow tonight IMO, but after he got to us he was real good and making sure everything was good and all, and bringing us refills for drinks, and that yummy bread!
