Thunder from down under brownie birthday dessert
Dari P.

I came today with my son and his girlfriend to celebrate my birthday. Service was great and the staff were very nice. I had a steak and a baked potato and a salad. Everything was so good. I had the thunder from down under dessert which is a brownie sundae. It was so delicious. It was definitely worth the calories. You get a brownie and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on top and some little decorations on it. Sooooo Siri good.

05/10/2026: Reservations at 5:30pm; seated at 5:50-ish. It was Mother's Day and busy. Host was helpful and server was too. Friendly as well. Food: Ate a lot of shrimp, which were good. Lol I think my 9oz Sirloin steak was medium rare, but I didn't really mind if it wasn't because I would just eat it. I really enjoyed my two sides though which was the Caesar salad and Baked Potato soup. For dessert, New York style cheesecake and wish I had one more slice of that. Overall experience: great service, good food. I give 4 stars.

The spinach dip and chips were so tasty. . The blooming onion is good. It's just a bit much. My steak was pretty good. I like mine medium well but I got Freddy Krueger bloody. Of course I still ate it and it was good. I got a strawberry lemonade and it was sweet how I like it. The service was great. Server upgrade our table to give us more space. That was nice. I felt it was a little dark in there but no biggie. Prices were par for the economy. I'd go back again.

Grilled chicken on the barbie.

Today I ordered the grilled chicken, bake potato and onion petals. The chicken had good flavor even though the chicken was cut very thin. The bake potato was small but came out really hot and loaded. The onion petals are pieces of the blooming onion. The service was very good.

Bone-In Ribeye* 18 oz.

I haven't visited this place in about 3 years. It appears they have remodeled; it's way brighter and it looks much better. My kids and I ordered the same thing- we ordered the bone in rib eye and I was surprised how good it was. It was perfectly cooked and flavorful. They clearly upgraded their cooks in the back- on my last visit- approximately 3 years ago, it was lacking taste an size. They clearly upgraded all the way around- service was good also- in regard to the price, everything is expensive so it's not different here. I'm just blessed I'm able to afford it.

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free Dessert for Rewards Members G'Day, Mate! Don't be a Sheila. Order yourself a Tim Tam Brownie Cake from Outback Steakhouse, like I did! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&select=T1321IVFrVrayfbZqRHSEQ Tim Tam Brownie Cake- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&select=sBoPdSkHWzBWUVOBXvZ93A Chocolate & peanut butter mousse on top of a chocolate brownie, adorned with Tim Tam cookies & caramel sauce. So decadent, so rich! Those Tim Tam cookies are to die for! The Tim Tam Brownie Cake is a quality dessert to celebrate my birthday, but so indulgent, I'd eat another only when my next birthday comes around. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&select=v-4uZ9e3t3e_pthErUVnUg Over the Top brussel sprouts https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=uS40l_OKocHZvU6xX-jMCw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Get some greens in your life! The brussel sprouts were prepared well, and a fine appetizer. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aHdI6KiUASuLyJKIREmNCg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was excellent. I utilized Curbside Take-Away on two separate occasions, and the employee was prompt & friendly, both times. Outback Steakhouse Lakewood has been always a pleasant & welcoming experience for me. Curbside Take-Away is ran like a well-oiled machine, and the free birthday month dessert is a great perk for Rewards Members. I'll definitely be back.

How does someone eat plant-based at Outback Steakhouse? I want to give major props to the team at this Lakewood location for making special accommodations for the token vegan of my family (me). My dad loves steak and every Father's Day we take him to a steakhouse. I do my best to get creative with the steakhouse menu. At Outback they have a house salad but I wanted a little bit more for my meal. In another section of the menu, they offered sautéed mushrooms on a sandwich. Though the sautéed mushrooms are typically cooked in butter, the manager said he could have it cooked in oil instead. I requested for a light amount of oil to be used. It came out in a cute mini cast-iron pan. I appreciate this presentation to top off my meal. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/outback-steakhouse-lakewood?select=XLg8A4TaqLSgVUEA15DtVQ Side note, the Tangy Tomato Dressing for the salad is tasty! A little on the sweet side. Also, we nixed the croutons on the salad too. I also ordered a baked sweet potato with no butter and no sugar. The sprinkle of cinnamon was flavor enough. My meal was actually quite filling! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/outback-steakhouse-lakewood?select=kZoj26ZVxHH30kk2F-Rwiw I had to come back the next day because I accidentally left my credit card here. I appreciate that they asked to see my ID before handing the card over. I had a surprisingly a good experience! This location in Lakewood is quite spacious. The only downside about this location is where the entrance is in relation to the parking lot. It could be quite a walk for somebody elderly. I saw two elderly ladies attempt to enter through a side door then decide to leave instead when they saw that the main entrance is all the way around near the street corner.

Is reservations needed?

They never had reservations. They call it "call ahead seating". You are basically put on a wait list. It gets very crowded.

Is there happy hour for their bar?

Yes but check the website the day you go because the restaurants periodically change their Hours for happy hour.

Do they offer a Full Bar?

Yes!!????????

When we first got in they sat us at a two top and right away I need that table would be quite small for what I was planning to order, so we asked for a bigger table and they were kind enough to accommodate us. Ordering was quick as we new exactly what we wanted. We went with the all beef combo yakiniku. The guys were very organized and really worked well with each other. They immediately brought out our sides and dipping sauces and got the grill started for the coals to preheat. I knew that other table would be small as the charcoal grill took up the other half of a four top. I was surprised that they started cooking the meats for us, as I was prepared to do it myself. The experience was fantastic and the meats were very tasty. I really loved that the guys like tag team to check and cook the meats for us. The service was very smooth. Can't wait to take my wife next time for a nice dinner date for two.

Located in the same space at Bakers and Baristas, the restaurant was flipped into Luka in the evening hours. Dimly lit for a romantic vibe, the ambiance was warm yet approachable. What initially drew me to Luka was seeing photos of their Chicken Liver Mousse! The mousse itself is rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious! It comes on a croissant with a seasonal fruit compote (ours was blueberry). It's also so gorgeous! A dish that truly tasted as good as it looks. The next dish we had was the Grilled Oyster Mushrooms. These completely blew us away! Something about the use of agrodolce, garlic, fennel pollen, chili powder, and red harissa made the flavor so savory and complex. I've never had mushrooms prepared in this way before. I will really miss these! We also had the Brussel Sprouts with pork jus glaze, chicharron, scallion, and fresno. I really enjoyed the different textures from the ingredients, including the crunch from the chicharrons. We had to get one of their signature dishes, the Potato Situation! Crispy on the outside with potato and melted provolone on the inside, they give a very generous portion of parmigiano reggiano and chive dust on top. Such a fun dish to cut into! For our last dish, we got the Crab Pasta. It came with fusilli, a rich cream sauce, capers, and calabrian toasted panko--a great ending to the meal! I really enjoyed my meal here and hope that there will be plans to open up Luka again one day!

Hamachi crudo was excellent and probably my favorite of the night. Great zesty flavor, fresh fish. Beef tartare was very standard fare, albeit with a huge mound of chives (which I did enjoy). Portion sizes for both were bigger than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. If you're not that hungry, the appetizers here are sort of filling. As for the crab pasta: I liked it, but it's filled in with mainly shredded crab. I ended up taking it home and adding some frozen lobster tail, and that made it feel a tad more complete. Overall: Great for a casual but chic dinner.

Sad to see that their last day is May 11th. Would highly recommend people to try before their last day. Our latest visit was during lunchtime on a weekday. We were greeted upon entering and were told to choose whichever table we wanted. We ordered a Wintermelon Tea, Fried Pork Chop Rice, and the Century Egg Tofu. Food and tea came out quickly. Everything was so good and felt like comfort food that family would make. The pork chop was seasoned well and came with a tea egg, and vegetable sides of broccoli and tomato as well as soup. The tomato side reminds me of this tomato egg that we eat often. The century egg tofu was delicious. The tofu had a great texture -- soft, creamy, but also dense. The sauce that it came with was sweet, salty, and garlicky. The century egg was good. The winter melon tea was light on ice, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Overall, giving Formosan Restaurant a 5/5. Wish we started coming here sooner. Staff are nice, service is quick, prices are great, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend people to try if they haven't before. Will definitely be back before their last day.

Disappointing Visit: Service, Billing Concerns My boyfriend…read moreand I visited London's Pub & Grill in Artesia expecting a relaxed, casual evening, but we left feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. The service did not feel professional. I noticed beer being poured carelessly, with a noticeable amount wasted during the process. While that may sound small, it reflects a lack of attention when customers are paying for their drinks. I also encourage customers to review their bills carefully. The gratuity or additional charges were not clearly aligned with the level of service we received, and the experience left me unsure about exactly what had been added. Clear, transparent billing should be standard--especially when a customer has questions. More concerning was the way staff handled those questions. An interaction with a staff member, Parag, became unnecessarily confrontational. I had difficulty understanding parts of the communication, and the tone and manner of the encounter made me feel intimidated and physically uncomfortable. I am only sharing my personal experience--not making assumptions about intent--but it went well beyond a normal customer-service disagreement. I also saw what appeared to be a camera or surveillance device in the men's accessible restroom. I cannot verify what it was, whether it recorded anything, or why it was installed, so I do not want to speculate. Still, seeing something that appeared to be a camera in a restroom was alarming and raised serious privacy questions. Management should be able to provide a clear explanation of what the device is and why it is located there. Restaurants can be busy, and mistakes happen. But customers should be able to ask about a charge without feeling dismissed or intimidated, and they should never have to feel uncertain about their privacy. Based on this visit, I would be very hesitant to return. I hope management takes this feedback seriously--particularly regarding staff professionalism, billing transparency, and the apparent device in the restroom.
