If you have celiac, I highly recommend to never ever come here. 2 of the worst times I’ve been glutened was the last 2 times I came to this location. First time I ordered a steak, potato, and salad. Second time I started feeling sick even after eating the salad. I assume there is just a ton of cross contamination going on in the kitchen since I got sick after the salad. I did express to the waitress both times that I have celiac and a severe gluten allergy. I have ate at other Outback locations and been okay on occasion but after these last 2 experiences I will never visit the Outback chain ever again.

They have a separate GF menu if you ask for it at the hostess stand. There was also a QR code on the table where you could access the GF menu, so they are clearly making a good effort at providing GF options. My celiac daughter’s food was brought out separately, prior to the rest of the food which I appreciated. She did not get sick. We have only been there once, but I would definitely go again.

Phillip Morris had a gluten free girls back. He pointed me in the right direction on the menu and made sure all of my food was safe to eat. Staff like this make you feel safe to enjoy your meal without the nagging fear of getting served something you can’t have. I will definitely be back for excellent service.

I’m from out of state and our Outback closed so I’m always excited when I find one! I was diagnosed with celiac in 2002 - back then no one knew what gluten was and Outback was one of the first restaurants to offer a gluten free menu

Stopped in for lunch, their gf menu is pretty much updated/current (2023)

Server was knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free told me the chef will cook my chicken on foil on the grill

Had salad w ranch dressing, chicken on the Barbie , and loaded baked potato

I usually get the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under (gf brownie with gf ice cream) it’s sooooo good but it’s shareable size and I was alone…. I could eat it by myself but saving the calories so if you do go here save room for it so you can order!

The waitress's grandmother had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. My daughter ordered the steak and fruit for kids. Also she got a lemonade and vanilla ice cream. The waitress (Jill I think?) made sure the kitchen staff changed gloves and everything. She did not bring out bread at our request. Their GF menu was pretty large. I ordered a grilled chicken salad for myself.
