  Food was ok. A bit salty but in general the meat was good. Service was pretty good. I registered for new dine reward account and they managed to get me a free blooming onion.

  The smell when you walk in is pretty bad. It smells like dirty rags. Service is a bit slow. Food is ok, but chef can be better on steak temp.

  Our server Sierra ( black hair n glasses ) was very rude I’m surprised she’s a waiter at outback when she lacks of people skills . Ask her for water also and brought warm tap water no ice ? 🙄 wouldn’t sing happy birthday to us when we heard other table doing it brought cold food to the table list goes on and on awee also never showed up in the middle of service to provide nappings refills etc what a bummer

  **Subject:** Concern Regarding Improper Gratuity Calculation and Dining Experience – 9/9/25 Dear Outback Steakhouse Management, I am writing to bring to your attention a concern from our recent visit to your restaurant on **September 9, 2025**, where our party of four dined and received a bill totaling **$191.99 before tax**. The sales tax was **$17.76**, bringing the total to **$209.75** before gratuity. However, I noticed that the **suggested gratuity amounts (18%, 20%, and 22%) were calculated including the tax**, rather than being based on the pre-tax subtotal. This practice is **not legal in California** and takes advantage of customers who may not realize they are tipping on the tax as well. To illustrate, the suggested gratuities were listed as follows: * 18% – $37.76 * 20% – $41.56 * 22% – $46.15 These figures clearly include the tax in the calculation. While I did speak with the on-duty manager, **Claudia**, she indicated that she had no control over how gratuities are printed on receipts. In the end, we paid **$250 in total**, which included a **$40 tip**, even though the **food quality was mediocre** and the service did not justify an inflated gratuity. I wanted to make you aware of this issue so it can be corrected at the corporate level. Including sales tax in suggested gratuity calculations is misleading and unfair to customers. I would appreciate a response confirming that this concern will be reviewed and addressed appropriately. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Sunny
