I asked the server if they knew about needing gluten free options to my surprise they have an entire menu just of gluten free! It was delicious and didn’t upset my stomach at all!

Update to my earlier review: I placed an online order for the Aussie Cobb salad with grilled chicken and a chocolate thunder from down under. Specified that my order needed to be GF for an “allergy”. I Nima tested the grilled chicken alone, the salad and dressing, alone, and the chocolate thunder. The grilled chicken came back positive for high levels of gluten. The salad/dressing and dessert came back positive for low to moderate levels of gluten (likely cross contamination). I had previously tested their pork medallion dish and it came back GF, but I won’t be patronizing them anymore since they aren’t consistent and the dessert is supposed to always be GF!

They have lots of GF options. I've eaten here many times. Only once did I have an issue. After eating the majority of my salad, I found a crouton in it. The server was extremely apologetic and gave me a new salad to take home for free.

We hadn’t eaten at an Outback in a long time. Although the options for gluten-free were limited we had an excellent waitress with food allergies herself who made sure we were well taken care of. The service was great and the food was good.

The manager Naomi was amazing! She was so thorough, sat down with me and explained what i could have on the menu and personally handled making the salad for me and over seeing the food get made in the kitchen. Awesome experience!

Our waiter Caleb was amazing. He was super helpful. Very attentive and careful not to pass gluten containing food/plates over mine. I had the sirloin w/ grilled shrimp. Loaded mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Chocolate thunder from down under for dessert. I had no issues. We were very pleased with the trip and the food was fantastic.

My company wanted to order us a holiday lunch. We order with outback. My food was marked gluten free and put in its own bag. It was a great experience.

I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and explained to our server that i had celiac disease. He came back with a gluten free menu with a variety of options, i felt so comfortable eating there and my dinner was amazing! he explained to me that they take it very seriously and that he will explain to the cooks and write an extra note. It was an 100/10 experience for me.

I was on a trip to Splash Lagoon with family and was very hesitant to eat here as I get sick at one closest to where I live. I ate here with no issues! I got the wedge salad and loaded baked potato. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful!

This place was awful from our walk in to our overall experience! First thing when we got there the hostess told us that they only had one table available by the bar, but when I looked around only a few tables were occupied and mostly by the bar. She went on to instruct us that all the other tables were dirty!! My husband did not want to create a scene so we sat down and decided to order simple and had burgers mine with no bun. I did not get sick from the food or at least not yet but I will never return to this restaurant!! Very sad that the manager didn’t even try or get someone to clean off all those tables including wait staff!
