Outback Steakhouse

This used to be a favorite of ours. Since they began dipping the ‘baked’ potatoes into the fryer before rolling them in salt to finish in the oven, it is a no go!! Bad seed oils abound. Alice Springs Chicken was a favorite. It is literally half the size it was. Browned ends of broccoli three times in a row, prompted this review. Oh! And those Brussels sprouts? Deep fried!! No nutrition whatsoever.

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 selection of gluten-free items (they'll give you a menu upon request) food is great!

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. : )

For a chain restaurant they are great. Up front about the possibility of cross contamination. But they are very careful. They have a gluten free menu,you just have to ask. And if it is on there menu and it can be made gluten free with just a few changes, they'll make it for you

I had the chili and the mashed potatoes because I wasn’t really feeling a steak that day. Gluten free menu is available but with somewhat limited choices if you don’t feel like having steak.

Horrible, will not go back

Had a GF menu but half the things on the menu were no longer available. Had to repeat gf salad order twice and it was still brought out wrong. Waiter could have cared less.

I ordered the gluten free Shrimp and Steak combo. it's only GF when the shrimp are not placed on a piece of toast.

My dinner arrived with the Shrimp on toast. I asked to check if the toast was GF. The server returned with a small plate stating the toast contained gluten and offered to remove the piece of toast or the shrimp and toast.

I explained that they had to remake the meal which they did.

Therefore, beware when eating here. The staff is not properly trained!!
