Review of Outback Steakhouse

Absolutely avoid this specific location if you have a allergy or sensitivity.

First, we ordered salad with no croutons as appetizers. The gentleman who brought them out saw our gf menu still on the table and asked "gluten allergy"? We said yes and he insisted that he go back and "make sure" they are gf. My husband told him it was fine, as long as there were no croutons, it should be fine. The gentleman set down the salads and there was a single crouton in one and a bunch of crouton crumbs in both. We thought he was being overly cautious until we saw that there were clearly once croutons on the salad. I'm assuming the gentleman himself picked out the croutons when he realized the order asked for none.

He did bring back some new ones. That is forgivable. It happens.

After dinner, we ordered a gf brownie sundae. THE PLATE WAS SO DIRTY... it had leftover strawberry sauce of some sort (no strawberry ingredients in the sundae), hairs and lint stuck to it, and a ton of beige crumbs all over it.

I sadly took two bites before I noticed and stared having an immediate panic attack and now about a half hour later, the stomach cramps are starting.

Not to mention there was a very long wait at 3p.m. due to them only having two servers in the whole restaurant. I know that's not their fault, but worth mentioning.

I'll probably never eat there again because I think the cross contamination is unavoidable.
