They have a gluten free menu and I’ve had the chicken, ribs, and salads and haven’t had any problems.

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.

They were great about watching for cross contamination and brought my plate out separately from my family's. They didn't really have many menu options that weren't steak, but I ordered the grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and side Ceasar salad. The food was really bland, and the mashed potatoes were worse than school lunches in the 80s. They were flavorless, almost translucent, and disappointing. The chicken was decent but not my favorite. I had better food at another steakhouse chain.

Outback as a chain has always been safe for me. I order the grilled chicken on the barbie with double veggies and have never had a reaction, including at this location!

I ate here twice while I was in town. They note the GF allergy for the kitchen and when they bring it to the table the server knew it was designated GF
