Review of Outback Steakhouse

They do have a very nice gluten free menu. I have celiac and must avoid gluten free which makes eating out quite an ordeal most times. My waiter was able to ask questions of the kitchen and they seemed to be aware of what was safe and what contained gluten which was helpful. My meal was very good and the waiter very attentive. I was feeling safe enough to actually try the pecan brownie that was listed on the gluten free menu. My gut told me that there's no way it was gluten free, so I double checked to make sure it was gluten free and not just a typo. They assured me it was safe so I tried it. I sure wish I had listened to myself and stayed away from it! By the time I'd finished it I was in agony! I was breaking out in a cold sweat and felt like I'd been punched in the stomach. I spent the rest of the night dealing with terrible gut pain and all the other 'lovely' effects of being glutened. Sadly, this one mistake made by someone who obviously doesn't understand what 'gluten free' is will cost me damage to my intestines and close to a month long recovery. While it is awesome that they are at least trying to accommodate those on a gluten free diet, it's not much use if the kitchen doesn't know how to keep it gluten free. If your just gluten intolerant, you may be fine, but if your Celiac as I am, then I'd not recommend it.

Celiac friendly?

No
