The food was good I ordered ribs with bbq sauce , mash potatoes, and sweet potato. I even ordered the gluten free desert (best desert I ever tasted omg ) it’s been a day later haven’t got sick . I order my food in Togo boxes and use plastic silverware that helps from cross contact. I let my server know to make sure they let the kitchen know a lot .
My husband and I ate lunch here today. I ordered the grilled shrimp for an appetizer. When it came out it was on toasted bread, I immediately told him I couldn't eat it. He apologized and took it back. The chef even came out and talked to me. they brought me a new one. Everything tasted great and MOST important I did not get sick. This is why this is one of my favorite places.
Two of our party of 12 are diagnosed celiacs and one is suspected celiac. One of us got glutenned. The waiter did not correctly put in our allergy order and salads came out with croutons. We sent offending salads back and they allegedly remade them. The person bringing the food was different than the waiter, had no idea about the three allergy orders, and did not announce the stats of the food being brought. This restaurant needs a big overhaul of training. There was unsafe food being placed down at the seating of the celiacs place.
Update Nov 2024
We have eaten here several times since my first review, and again yesterday.
All still good at this location. I had the Alice Spring Chicken from the GF menu. The manager checked on us twice. No reaction a a very enjoyable meal.
Aug 2022
Happily, no reaction to a nice streak with fully loaded baked spud and asparagus off the GF menu. We all shared a chocolate Thunder as well. Our server was fully aware of the need for caution.
Next time we are in Jonesboro we will eat here again.
I love Outback. Most of the time I go, I get grilled chicken on the Barbie, with a Caesar salad minus croutons, and a sweet potato. Delicious, satisfying and I don’t feel like I ate horribly. This past time my mother got the fried blooming shrimp which I believe is a seasonal thing and she very much enjoyed it. I had no problems what so ever.
