What diners say — our read

Diners rate this place well. The inspector did not. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.5 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

The split is 15 positive to 2 negative across 18 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 14 of the 18 reviewers who rated.

Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen a D (66/100), with 3 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 7 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. That inspection was on April 21, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 6% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and handwashing.

Taken together, this is a place diners like and inspectors do not. A good meal and a clean kitchen are different questions. Everything above is computed from the 18 reviews reproduced below.

    So I ordered DoorDash at around 9 PM due to my schedule And ordered a blooming burger and fries ordered my burger well done when my burger got there. It is nearly completely raw cold and the fries taste old. I understand that sometimes mistakes happen but it just seems like no effort was put in whatsoever and it’s really unfortunate. I spent over $20 on this and can’t even eat it

    Just went recently. The experience was meh. The staff was very friendly, but our waiter seemed like they didn't want to be there. The food was seasoned well, but was overall a bit lack luster. Not the Outback I grew up with. We'll give it another shot in the future, but it won't be for a while.

    Update 5/10/26 On mother's Day We went for dinner and even though was super busy our server managed to take care of us fast, diligent and amazing personality. The food was on point and She always was getting the beverage refilled without asking or waiting for it., dirty dishes were been pick up as we finish, follow by the next plate. We even asked if she was a manager and she said no. So I want to say great job to Amber and thank you for your service.
