Great food and service!

I was very impressed how this Outback handled my gf needs. There is a separate gf menu, so make sure to ask for it and reinforce with your server that you're ordering specifically from the gf menu. They use a separate part of the grill and clean utensils for gf items. When I told my server I couldn't have gluten, he brought out a veggie platter so I could have something to munch in lieu of their bread, which was a very nice touch! I had a delicious and juicy grilled chicken breast, baked potato, and mixed veggies. They even have a gf brownie for dessert, which I regret I didn't have room for. I left the place very satisfied and feeling great!

They have a lot of gluten free options, even dessert. That being said, I still got glutened. I ordered strictly off of their gluten free menu - steak, baked potato and salad (no croutons). Our waitress was very attentive but I’m sure it’s a case of cross contamination in the kitchen. The next day, I felt the affects. I’m giving 3 stars because my son who is also celiac felt fine.

Wife has Celiac and is very thorough in making sure there is no cross contamination when eating out. We have gone here twice since finding out they are celiac friendly and have been impressed both times. The waitress both times knew everything about not having cross contamination and didn't bring out bread until I asked (I can have gluten). Thought that was well done. Manager came out both times after ordering to make sure that we knew they took the allergy seriously. Really enjoyed going here and would recommend. We went on busy weekend nights too and they were still very accommodating and helpful.

Even the manger came out to talk with me! They used different ingredients and pulled fresh items out of the back to ensure my safety. Talk about a sigh of relief!

I asked for the gluten free menu and ordered a grilled chicken salad. it came out with croutons so the waiter took it back. I knew it came out far too quickly for them to have made me a new one. Sure enough they missed a crouton. The waiter came at the moment I had found the crouton, so my face said it all. He got his manager and they made me a new one to go free of charge (forgot the dressing though). If I had a severe allergy then this would have caused a reaction. I wasn't very impressed.

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!
