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 great! She even checked with the manager that the chips and French fries have their own fryer!

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.

The waiter took good care of me when I identified myself as a celiac. He brought me a GF menu and watched the chef as my meal was cooked to make sure I would be safe. The cook placed my steak next to bread and my server had him recook my meal before bringing it to me.

I’ve only had one bad experience here. They brought my salad out with croutons and instead of making a new salad they just took the croutons off and they came back. I was joking around with them saying did you just take them off and they said no but then I found crumbs all over the side of the salad bowl

GF menu available with plenty of options. Staff and food was great. Surprised to see a GF dessert options as well (didn’t try it though, simply didn’t have room!)

Agree with other comments that this particular outback used to be quite bad, but they greatly improved
