Called around 3:30 to make a 4:00/15 reservation for a larger party (6-8, maybe 9 while we waited for teenagers to decide if they were joining). We all were arriving from 40min away so wanted to get as early as possible. Constant ringing, never went to voicemail. Made an online reservation that only allowed a max of 4 under my name. Attempted to make another under my name but the system recognized I already had one so I made an additional under my spouse's name. We arrived with the whole party (minus one en route). Identified myself as the 2 reservations for 4:15p since the system wouldn't allow duplicates. The hostess (possibly the manager) smiled condescendingly and said "that's why we have you call us." To which I responded "I tried but there was no answer". (Also, this is my family's second trip here in about 2 years, so it wasn't like we were familiar). Someone in my party asked if we could just put two tables together (in an empty restaurant). The hostess put 2 tables together, and then our additional teen showed up so we needed another chair. I offered to have 4 on my side or if wasting another table was best for 1 more chair. Hostess decided another table was ok. In our party were two high-profile local businesses that pay for business meetings/ meals for a lot of local clients in the area. Hopefully there's a better system in place for large-party same-day reservations when phones are not being answered less than an hour before opening. Stars for the waitstaff's kindness and professionalism, and all meals were great value & flavor for the costs. The location has great parking, a beautiful ambiance and a nice view of the river. read more

Ambience: very cool, fresh and urban decor and vibe. Almost felt like we were in a cool Austin bar. Indoor and outdoor dining right by the river. Chef also came out to check on food and diners. Been awhile since I've seen that. More chefs should have that level of interest to engage w guests and here their feedback. Service: spot on. Wish I remembered our servers name. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and ingredients while also making exceptional recommendations. Her timing was impecable and she made accommodations when one of the folks in our party struggle w the flavors of his meal. Food: amazing. 5 of us dined. We had not wedge salad. Fresh and nice it was already chopped for us. A couple of orders of their delicious artisan bread and special in house made butter. Items we ordered: - CAB PRIME RIBEYE - AUSTRALIAN WAGYU NEW YORK (shared and they split for us) - fish & chips - Brick - Roasted Chicken Their mashed potatoes were creamy w just the right amount of garlic and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. Recommendation: food is a little pricey, specifically for the area, but delicious. read more

Great everything. One of the best places in the South Puget Sound area. Get the brussel sprouts and love your life.

This place is hopping every time we have visited. Servers are great. It's always on our list when in town. I love the decor, and I love the outdoor area as well. Every entree I've ordered there has been exceptional! read more

Super glad I saw the billboard for the restaurant earlier in the week on HWY 167. Was in the neighborhood today and decided to stop and have some lunch. I guess I really haven't been around the area recently as they been open for more than year. Saturday and Sunday they do brunch, and have live music on the patio pending on weather. There is plenty of parking with EV charging station, so a great place to bring all your friends. Lots of signature cocktails, and full bar. The service and food were great, and will be back for sure to try the regular dinner menu soon. I'm intrigued be the 24 oz ribeye . Was told the menu changes seasonally, but it has been a mainstay for them. It does make me excited to come back to see what new offering they will have. read more

Our experience at Oxbow was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed our meal at the bar top which was nice and roomy and still allowed for a decent amount of privacy. The atmosphere was nice and chill and it wasn't too loud or chaotic. They have a great selection of signature drinks as well as a full bar so your options are aplenty. I ordered the ravioli and I honestly could barely pull my attention away from how incredible it was. The flavor was unbelievable and the truffle flavoring was just the right amount. My wife had one bite and was dying for more. I highly recommend the ravioli and their oxbow salad is very tasty as well. The service was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, you can't go wrong! Cheers! :) read more

My first time visiting this restaurant. And I was very impressed. I had the steak and salad, and it didn't disappoint. Cooked perfectly. We took a look around and I liked the outside deck overlooking the river ,very nice. I hope we will be back soon. It's located across intersection from the "The Cannery" read more

We've been here now a few times - dinner tonight outside. Such a great patio! The fajitas with wagyu beef are incredible. This is a great local spot and I love coming to. Great service, amazing food (and molten lava cake for dessert)! read more

I was here when they first opened up and have to say that their service just keeps getting better and better! We sat at the bar this time as we were only here for drinks but ended up ordering their hummus and pita + wings! Travis and Nikki were amazing! It was such a fun night overall and I'm very glad to have come here. read more

The food is very good and atmosphere is okay although very loud and echoing sounding. The main issue we had was with a party of 5, everyone received their entrees except for one person, they said it would just a be a couple minutes, ended up being like 20-30 minutes and everyone at the table was pretty much done with their meal when the last person finally received theirs. It was not a good look for them if they are trying to be this nice fancy restaurant in town then you really shouldn't be making those kinds of mistakes. They did comp the meal that was brought out super late, but honestly that didn't really mean much, we were there to have a great dining experience and it's just awkward for everyone to be enjoying their food while one person sits and waits forever to get their food. read more

I love coming to Oxbow, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful. It's nice to sit outside by the fire when the weather permits. The oysters, Alfredo, and the wagu burger are my favorites. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at OxBow Urban Kitchen and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary experience. The apps, main courses, deserts , and drinks were worth every penny. The service was phenomenal and got the orders out in a timely manner. The environment was awesome that includes a view of the river with Mount Rainier in the background. Definitely our new favorite spot in the Puyallup/Sumner area. read more

The view of mount Rainier is spectacular at this location. Very good for occasions and celebrations. Food was very average at this urban kitchen. Ordered 8 oz ribeye steak at medium but came out medium well. The seabass that we ordered was very fishy and still undercooked in the very middle -- just a tiny spot maybe a quarter inch wide. Service was very good though. Not very fast but the pace was great. read more

So many great things to say about this place, so let's dive in! First, for those who live in the Southside, we know a great restaurant that serves higher end meals, is hard to come by. This is such a great addition to the area, I can't believe I didn't visit sooner. The food is upscale, incredibly tasty, the service is above par and the ambiance is perfectly appointed. I have a high affinity for a clean restaurant that looks essentially brand new when it isn't. Kudos to you guys on that! Now for our experience. I reserved a table for a party of 15, yes 15! They accommodated us on a Sunday afternoon with no problem. We sat by the window and had a great view of the river. Our server (Preston) was so good! He handled us like a pro. Our food came out quickly too. We ordered essentially everything off the menu or so it seemed. I want to especially point out the Brussels sprouts. WOW! I always order them whenever on a menu and I have to say I think these are the best I've ever had! They are literally that good. I don't eat seafood and that's what everyone mainly ordered but the plates were clean when we were all done so I'm assuming everything was really good. I can't wait to be back! read more

Oxbow Urban Kitchen - Our table set up. - Steakhouses Near Me - Sumner, Washington

We had a lovely lunch at Oxbow today! In town visiting in laws and they hadn't dined here before. Good food and dining experience tends to be hit or miss or older, same old, same old stuff around here so I was excited to try a newer restaurant! Great service from start to finish, very friendly and attentive. The space is beautiful! I'd love to come back when it's warmer to sit on their patio. Beverage and food menu has something for everyone. We also dined with our 1 year old. I'm always appreciative of a kid friendly place and staff. Great local spot that we'd love to come back to! read more

Food and location are good. But it took over half hour to get food (restaurant was only half full) but prices are high and service was poor. This was at about 5:00 on a Saturday afternoon read more

Great food and even better service. The staff aimed to please! We will definitely tell our friends and be back! read more

Our first visit to Oxbow was nothing short of amazing! We tried the birria tacos, bang bang chicken, chicken sando, Brussels sprouts, and from the kids' menu, the mac n cheese and fish and chips. Every dish was a hit--perfectly al dente pasta, crispy and flavorful Brussels sprouts, and fried chicken cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding, and the restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting. Even the kids' menu impressed us with its quality. I rarely write reviews, but Oxbow's exceptional food, service, and atmosphere deserve the praise. We can't wait to return! read more

Nice location and nice staff, but the good ends there. Me and my wife split an Australian Wagyu steak and some smoked pork belly Bao's. Steak had very little flavor and the Bao's were "meh". My two daughters ordered the fish and chips and it was even worse than the steak, very soggy breading. My son's Ravioli was ok and the fries that came with the fish and chips were good. We also had an order of a dozen oysters and they were good- but quite a lot of grit inside, which is always a little off putting. So for over 300.00 I would definitely recommend spending your hard earned money somewhere else. read more

So disappointing to go to happy hour with 6 friends and have no where to sit even though all tables were empty except 2 in the whole dining area on a Tuesday. All seating in the bar is set up for singles or doubles. The couples sitting there,do what everyone does, sit with one or two chairs In between each other so no groups of 3 or more can sit anywhere for happy hour!. So, No , I would not come here for happy hour. read more

We looked at a menu on line it was wrong menu we went to oxbow and didn't know until we got there. We ordered anyway the food was good but we were disappointed that we didn't get the menu we saw online, the manager let us know people add menu all the time and say it is oxbow, she told us to go to their webpage. So if you look at a menu be sure your on the right page to see recent menu. I had salmon w broccoli it was good salmon cooked well my husband had a steak it was cooked the way he ordered it, it was flavorful. He had a baked potato with it. read more

We had an incredible meal tonight. Chowder & salmon for my husband; tenderloin with blue cheese for me. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Service was excellent & we look forward to our next visit. read more

Cocktails are mediocre and pricey for what you get. Nice entree selection. Wedge salad made me smile. Worth a try.

Top quality food, service, and ambiance. I will definitely return whenever I'm in Sumner. read more

Came in for brunch yesterday, and there were so many good menus items to choose from we'll have to come back so we can try them all! I got the Neptune salad, it had huge prawns and big beautiful Dungeness crab segments as well as a lovely soft boiled egg and other veggies, just what I expected. Husband order the (gigantic!) Pork Royale sandwich with pork sausage, pork belly and a perfectly cooked egg. I've worked in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years and I can tell you, eggs like that are tricky, but these were perfection! Our son couldn't decide so we got him the mac and cheese as well as the chicken tenders on the menu, they were both obviously hand made and not from a box or the freezer like some kid menu items. We noticed that no one ordered anything sweet, so the server suggested we start with a "Side" Belgian waffle! (who knew that was a thing?!) I loved it, berry compote and fresh whipped cream piled high, it was perfect for everyone to have a couple bites and we all satisfied our breakfast sweet tooth. Coffee was fantastic, (refills fast and numerous) and we also tried one of their breakfast cocktails to share, the Burning Orchard. it was well balanced and it went beautifully with not just his sandwich and my salad but the Belgian waffle too! Can't wait to come back when the patio opens for Happy Hour (and back for brunch of course!). read more

Dinner was ok. Just ok. Dessert wasn't edible. But still got charged for it. The dinners were good tho. But not worth coming back for.

Yum! Yum! Yum! I took my mother to Oxbow for brunch after it was recommended by a friend. She did not steer us wrong. I got the Wagyu Corn Beef Hash which was incredible. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The Oxbow Old Fashion was excellent and definitely one of the best I have had in a long time. We were seated right away, and our waitress was very attentive. Even the manger checked in on us. Wow! It's a cool and hip restaurant with outdoor seating on the water. My mom and I left full and satisfied. We can't wait to go back for dinner next time. read more

Don't waste your money. So disappointed. Over priced drinks and food. Our steak was served rare and cool when ordered medium . The salad was advertised to have an anchovy dressing and there was not a hint of it to be found. Just an overly wet lemon forward dressing with basic croutons on top. You will get better food and service and value on the waterfront in Tacoma. 2 drinks ($20 martini $15 mixed drink), 1 entree and 1 soup = $100. read more

I had the shrimp with zucchini noodles and got food poisoning from it 10/10 don't recommend.

Service was outstanding. Wife had Ravioli that was sub-par and my $70 blue rare steak was medium rare. We don't complain as to draw attention is not in our DNA. Would like to try the fish & chips next time if we decide to go again. read more

What an awesome first time at Oxbow Urban. The servers are professional, friendly, and the bartender was excellent. Dinner was fabulous (king salmon, steak fajitas, mussels and oysters). Happy Hour small plates were delicious and uniquely flavored. Cocktails and margaritas were also freshly made and some on happy hour! We will definitely return to try their weekend brunch and to sit outside along the river! read more

I liked the steak and salad combo for the 7 oz wagyu. The salad was huge and tasty, but not what I expected from the description. Excellent cocktails. Husband loved his salmon. Service was attentive, not intrusive. I liked the ambiance. read more

Welcome to Oxbow, a modern urban restaurant with variety of foods and nice vaulted ceilings. Parking is available onsite and is spacious. It took a few minutes to be greeted and seated but after being seated our server was very attentive moving forward and throughout our meal. For drinks, we got the pomegranate cosmo and my boyfriend got the Sumner. I loved the pomegranate cosmo, it was sweet with refreshing. Definitely recommend if you like sweet mixed drinks! My boyfriend liked his drink, it wasn't sweet but you have a balance between the gin and champagne. Next, the BLT Buns! It's was delicious and I loved the tomato jam! Next, he got the chef's special which was black pepper steak medallions! The sauce was delicious and the mashed potatoes were delicious as well. I did get the Ribeye which was seasoned well and tasted great. My only recommendation is get mashed potatoes instead of fries. I didn't enjoy my fries. Overall, the places was clean and the service was great. Would recommend as a mini date night like we did. read more

Last week had a wonderful meal during Happy Hour with my son. Fabulous Happy Hour menu. Looking forward to going back. Lyn

Having gone there three separate times: 1. Grand opening 2. 4 months later 3. 3 months ago My general opinion is that you have a restaurant with a beautiful location that hasn't a clue on how create premium cuisine. With wine marked up at an excessive rate (John Howie Steak, Daniel's, Ascend, etc. don't mark their wines up at the % Oxbow does), inexperienced bartenders, and extremely inconsistent staff, food that is either over salted or simply all over the place taste-wise, it's somewhat of a miracle they are getting the reviews you see. In addition, let's talk about the sound quality - with no sound dampeners, the inside is extremely loud. Talking to someone right across from you can pose as a challenge if the establishment is 80-100% full. Fix this and that would be a start. Someone else commented about Seattle prices in Sumner -- yes, I would agree the prices are way too high for the sold product. Price isn't a big deal when the product is actually of high quality. It's surprising to me that Oxbow could be missing so many marks when their sister restaurant, Toscano's is so good. After given this place three chances, all strikes, I won't go back nor would I recommend this place. Toscano's on the other hand--definitely check that place out. read more

They were super busy, but the staff still made contact with us within a reasonable amount of time. The food was phenomenal and the drinks were very tasty. The atmosphere was upscale, but you saw many people dining in there in all different types offashion ware. read more
