The stakes we had are really good. Perfectly cooked. Best around actually. The blooming onion was greasy and the oil needs to be changed I think. Everything else was actually pretty awesome!

We were driving through town on our way up to Seattle from California and decided to stop at this outback for dinner because we wanted some meat.
I came in pretty high energy, and the host up front as well as the servers matched my enthusiasm and made me feel welcome.
We had a great time and a great meal, highly recommend.

I'm giving the food review a 2 because of the lack of changing the oil more frequently. The service was fantastic, but the atmosphere I gave a 3, do to the womens powder room being closed, therefore sharing the mens room. The mens restroom was clean and presentable, but be sure to lock the door to keep out the opposite sex.
We joined the Puyallup Outback Restaurant the week before Thanksgiving. I ordered the deep fried shrimp dinner plate with a baked potato & wedge salad. The shrimp that was deep fried was soggy do to old oil. My partner had the steak dinner which included a loaded baker, and salad. His dinner was to his satisfaction.
On December 29th we ordered take-out. The blooming onion and deep fried mushrooms...once again the oil is over used and both the onion and the mushrooms were soggy. We love the Outback, with one exception, the lack of dirty oil. Please bring this issue to the attention of the store manager/cook, whom ever will address this concern. I would love to have the Blooming Onion fresh like it was when it was first introduced. Really miss that!!!

Wife and I went Christmas Eve. Place was packed,we did not think to make a reservation but they had small tables in bar which was fine with us. Even with a full house service was great. Steaks were very damn good. For a chain place I was impressed and we will be back 😁

I came here with two other adults and one child around 1:30 p.m. We were seated right away, and our server came by shortly after to take our drink order. There isn’t an Outback close to where we live, so we made a point to visit this location since it’s the closest one to us.
When we arrived, it wasn’t very busy, but it started to fill up while we were waiting for our food. Unfortunately, we noticed that several tables who arrived after us were already being served. After about an hour, our server came back and let us know she had accidentally not sent our order to the kitchen on time. I did appreciate her honesty, but by that point we were already irritated and very hungry.
She brought us our salads, which helped curb our hunger a bit, but we were still frustrated. Our food finally arrived after well over an hour. The disappointing part is that the food was actually really good, which made the long wait even more frustrating, as it negatively affected the overall dining experience. The only item that was comped was our appetizer. They offered dessert, but we were not in the mood to wait for that too. Plus, I rarely order dessert at a restaurant. It seemed like a corporate way to move us along.
I understand that the food and service industry isn’t easy, and human error can happen anywhere. It’s just unfortunate that it impacted this experience so much. We did enjoy the ambiance and the food itself, and if we decide to return, we’ll likely check in sooner to make sure our order is on track so we don’t end up disappointed again.
