It was horrrreible! Went in on a Monday night while driving through ft. Smith. The restaurant was pretty empty (now I know why). We were seated, then waited 10 minutes to be greeted, asked drink orders or anything to acknowledge we were there. Once we placed order it took another 30 minutes to receive our food. Once we received food (husband had hamburger with all the veggie toppings, lettuce, onion, tomato and I had the serloin with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Both ordered med rare. Burger came out very well done, and recieved 2 pickle discs, an onion the size of a quarter and about same for lettuce. My steak was fine but had the manager come tell me at 6:00 pm they had to wait “a long time “until the mashed potatoes were done, I opted for a bake potato, I could only cut/saw my way through the “baked” potato. The asparagus I didn’t eat, but hey it might be great for babies as it was mush on a plate. Trust me , do yourself a favor and go to Schlotski’s next door!

server was very helpful when I requested no garlic butter, he listed other ingredients to make sure they would be ok.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a wonderful experience taking my Father to outback steakhouse. My food was amazing as was the food of every other member of the family. Both my waiter Stanley and the manager made it so easy although the gf menu is a little longer than I have been accustomed to and the "thunder from down under" their signature dessert is gluten-free!!!

GF brownie! Also hard cider, but not on the menu. Standard steakhouse fare. Good salmon and mahi mahi. Steak fries are not GF.

Waiter was very understanding of celiac. They had a gluten free menu. I had steak with jacket potatoes and broccoli. Steak was really tender and tasty. Will be going again before we leave. Bit expensive and with limited choices it’s the way it is

Good food and great service. The waiter even brought me an orange to enjoy while the others in my party ate a blooming onion.

Decided to try outback since there were good chain reviews, but the service and food quality here was lacking. They did offer a GF menu, but options did still feel limited. I got the sirloin steak, baked potato, and a house salad. Steak was cooked well, but bland. Baked potato was drenched in butter, which I was not expecting. No burger options for GF.

My husband got normal, gluten filled food, and it was also sub par. We thought it was funny that his burger bun was falling apart as badly as GF buns do! I had little pitty for him lol

We got the chocolate thunder down under dessert, which was yummy, but very very rich.

All in all, it was over priced for the quality of food we got. I did not have a reaction, so good on that front.
