Outback Steakhouse Reviewed


Outback Steakhouse may have some really good food, but their thought for the disabled is not so hot. There are only 2 handicapped parking spots available in the front of the store. The front and inside door are a heavy wood variety that again like Vinny's if you have any strength related issues you will struggle with getting open.

I can tell you right now that you will not be able to use a mobility scooter inside as there simply is no room for the size. Manual wheelchairs and power chairs are the only 2 ways you will be able to get inside and move around, and this is not without some effort. The tables are very close together and if you have a wheelchair you will find yourself sticking out in the way of the people at other tables or the main aisle for the servers, and forget moving around after you get your table.

Outback Steakhouse gets an D+ for disabled accessibility, because they don't have enough parking, and it is very close quarters for someone in a wheelchair. If you want to enjoy the great food I would suggest curbside pickup.

You should probably also cover the bathroom accessibility issues in the various places you review. That could potentially be a problem area as well.

Just an idea.

Your wrong on this one. Outback is my favorite place to eat. Two reasons. Food is good. And they hold the door for me to get my chair in!

The parking lot is not owned by Outback. Spaces are assigned using a math formula that take in consideration the number of spaces and size of lot. I will do research and advise you of the method. Not totally the businesses fault. Property owner.
