I saw on their website that they had a gluten free menu. I also a few questions about other ingredients in their menu. I used their website contact us and got a response a few hours later answering my questions thoroughly. As well as the reminder they work hard to train staff so if we had any issues with getting gluten free items to respond back and let them know.

At the restaurant they did have a separate paper gluten free menu. When myself and my mother ordered (she's celiacs and I'm sensitive\intolerant) she verified with each of us that we wanted our food cooked in separate pans and for the cooks to change gloves before touching our food.

Everything came or good and how we requested neither of us had a reaction afterwards.

Not the best Outback I’ve been too. I have gotten sick once, and the food has come out cold several times. On top of that, the building has a septic issue which makes a large portion of the sitting area have a foul smell. Improvements could be made for sure.

I’m celiac and told the wait staff and was clear about the severity of the disease. I ordered the ribeye with salad and mashed potatoes (all of the special gluten free menu). Went home sick and the next day tested our leftovers with a nima tester. Came back positive for gluten. Can’t recommend this place to anyone.

They have a large GF menu that is supported by the GIG. Fantastic Service! The waitress was incredibly knowledgable about the GF items and was very good with notifying the kitchen about the gluten intolerance. I had a Pina Colada, Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie appetizer, Filet and Lobster Tails with a dressed baked potato and house salad (no croutons, honey mustard dressing), and the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. No gluten effects whatsoever. Very pleased with the selection and the speedy and knowledgable service.

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!
