**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

Hidden in a quieter part of Pleasant Hill, this Outback Steakhouse has a charming, old-school American design that feels both nostalgic and welcoming. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of the appeal – comfortable booths and large tables based on your party needs, warm lighting, that could be dark in cases, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay for a while.
The menu offers a solid selection of meats, including some standout options like the medallions. Just a heads-up: you’ll want to know your cuts – occasionally they may present a different cut as a premium option, blaming the tenderness, so it pays to be specific when ordering.
We kicked things off with the Bloomin’ Onion (of course), but they’ve got a few other appetizer options like coconut shrimp worth exploring. Tap beer selection is surprisingly good, with a variety of choices to pair with your meats.
Customer service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely polite throughout the evening, even though we had a return & replace.
Overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu and enjoy the relaxed, classic steakhouse feel again.

They closed our Pinole location ☹️ we used to celebrate year long there and a few other places that have since closed.
I’ll update my review after we visit.
This is a milestone celebration so please make it one to remember
Update: Well, let me clarify some things and debunk/update some things. This is one of the nicer locations, and there was not one scent of sour towels or one sign of dirty surfaces. Very clean and tidy inside and out so cleanliness and ambiance are 5 stars. 2nd is the service is A+ not too much or too little and everyone was very approachable/professional with a smile. Our server was sweet and precise. Never coming or leaving empty handed. We wanted to split the bill and she was very accommodating.
3rd part, the food… I am giving a very honest review. This is where you need just a little work. Don’t get angry, it’s good. Food is great but execution and timing is equally as important as flavor and presentation. So the quick fix items (soup/salads/etc) and blooming onion came out quickly/fresh. The rest of the food, for our party of 10 was just a little longer than we expected (not much) and some of the steaks were not quite cooked as they were ordered. And birthday girls salad was over mixed which (with hot steak on top) made it more soggy as I was eating. Again, all the flavor was on point and the presentation was nice too.
All in all, we will be back! We miss outback! One last tip/request, well 2. Please bring back the pork chop and the Tasmanian chili! Those were so good and they weren’t on the menu.

We went when they first opened for lunch. Server was attentive. I had a bowl of Potato Soup and a Steak Salad. Soup was barely warm and my steak was med-well to well done. I had requested medium. I did not say anything at the time so I guess I shouldn’t ding them here. I would go back but would say something next time if not meeting expectations.

This is the closest Outback after they closed the one in Pinole, CA.
We came for a farewell dinner for my nephew who will return to Peking University for schooling.
He probably will not be coming back to the States for at least 2 years.
The food was excellent.
It was well prepared.
We had the prime rib dinner and we took a take out sirloin steak dinner back to a family member who had to work.
Marcus was our server and he was top notch, attentive and patient.
Recommended highly if you’re looking to fulfill a steak event.
Will definitely be returning.
Keep up the good work.

We had the best customer service experience on Sunday 5/16. Emily came to our table with bread and butter on hand. I was impressed with her level of attention and top notch service. This is how it should be, and when I ordered my drink she asked me if I wanted a flavor. I didn’t know you could customize your drinks further and I love that. She was attentive, genuine, never forgot about us and had amazing energy. We will be back because of her! When it was time to go, she offered a bread to go, and a cup for my fiancés soda. I like that we didn’t have to ask, she offered and was so sweet to us. Her service is 10/10, the only reason why I’m only giving 4 stars is because the food is a 4/5. Thank you so much Emily

My mom and I had the best experience at your establishment on Saturday night. I can’t remember the servers name but she had the cutest little bullring in her nose, she was absolutely amazing!! You guys should cherish her and her commitment to excellence!

Just went to Outback last month for my Birthday dinner. I’ve been to other Outback locations in the past, and quite frankly wasn’t impressed. The steak was tough, not cook properly and just not quality.
I am thrilled that it’s improved immensely. We had a lovely dinner. New York steak cooked to perfection. (I happen to like mine rare) with shrimp and baked sweet potato. A huge piece of chocolate cake for dessert with vanilla ice cream. 3 of us shared the dessert, and there was still some left on the plate.
Great portions, many choices and quality service. I can’t wait to go back

The serving team was great, the food was good but has room for improvements. Some of the steaks could be trimmed better and some had a bit more outside char than I’m used to but were tasty nevertheless. The blooming onion was a bit salty and oily for me. Not a bad place to have a meal. Easy parking outside.

Food was good but the server got my order wrong and when he brought the food to the table the table next to us had a problem and he started talking to them while our food sat there on his tray.
