Outback Steakhouse

My family came here to have lunch while in Sioux City running errands. I notified our waitress of my dietary restrictions due to my Celiac Disease when ordering. When my salad came out it was covered in crouton dust (like croutons were on the salad but just picked off). I sent the salad back and it was remade properly. My husband and I split the ribeye and grilled shrimp plate. Upon receiving the plate the shrimp were served on a slice of rye bread. We sent that plate back as well. It was returned within 2 minutes having just removed the bread from the plate. At this time we involved the manager. A new steak and new shrimp were prepared. The food was very delicious but it was apparent that the kitchen either were not properly trained in cross contamination or did not care. The manager bought our appetizer and our plate for our inconvenience. I did not get sick from the experience but I would advise to be careful when eating here with Celiac. Definitely get the manager involved from the beginning would be recommended.

Great GF menu. I can enjoy a meal with family and friends without feels weird. Good food.

Outback is very g/f friendly. Great food, even a hot brownie offering on the dessert menu. : )

My company wanted to order us a holiday lunch. We order with outback. My food was marked gluten free and put in its own bag. It was a great experience.

I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and explained to our server that i had celiac disease. He came back with a gluten free menu with a variety of options, i felt so comfortable eating there and my dinner was amazing! he explained to me that they take it very seriously and that he will explain to the cooks and write an extra note. It was an 100/10 experience for me.

I was on a trip to Splash Lagoon with family and was very hesitant to eat here as I get sick at one closest to where I live. I ate here with no issues! I got the wedge salad and loaded baked potato. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful!

This place was awful from our walk in to our overall experience! First thing when we got there the hostess told us that they only had one table available by the bar, but when I looked around only a few tables were occupied and mostly by the bar. She went on to instruct us that all the other tables were dirty!! My husband did not want to create a scene so we sat down and decided to order simple and had burgers mine with no bun. I did not get sick from the food or at least not yet but I will never return to this restaurant!! Very sad that the manager didn’t even try or get someone to clean off all those tables including wait staff!
