Came for late dinner to-go. No issues! Just stick with simple stuff like steak and potatoes and you’ll be fine. It is a chain though, so I’m not sure how safe everything is. Felt fine after.

Staff was AMAZING and menu is pretty extensive for being GF in this area. I ordered from the GF menu and my husband did not. After putting the order in, our waitress came back to talk to me because my husband ordered food that was not GF and she wanted to be sure that I knew what could make me sick. Can't wait to go back!

Food was so good, service was excellent and the best part was I did not get sick from my meal. Pretty big gluten free menu, compared to most restaurants. I will definitely be returning!

Food quality was as good as the other Outback locations I've been to. Servers and manager were very careful and knowledgeable about my GF needs and knew the menu options well.

Dedicated gluten free menu has lots of options. Just ask the hostess for it. They even have a hot gluten free brownie a la mode for dessert! Management is always happy to answer any questions.

New to GF (just found out I’m allergic to wheat a few weeks ago) and wonderful experience (an exceptionally relaxed experience for a newbie). Ordered from the gluten free menu provided by the server. Ordered the center cut sirloin, mashed potatoes, and side Cesar salad. Everything was delicious and the manager brought my food out first noting that I needed to be “served with love”. And then the server brought the rest of the food for my family. So it seems like they take it seriously to keep it separate. They were so welcoming and my family felt good about it too. Great experience here!

We were at Outback on Feb. 28/23. 2 of the 4 of us are celiac. We both had really good meals with no issues. We would go back for sure.

They have a little takeout kiosk, along with an actual restaurant area to sit down. I got a chicken desert salad. I attached their GF menu below.

There is a GF menu and the waiter said the cook staff is very careful. However, restaurants are a tough place and I would not recommend if you are celiac. I ended up testing some food with my Nima and cross contamination is an issue. Sweet potato/broccoli tested together-gluten found. Alice Springs chicken off the GF menu - gluten found. Steak - smiley face. If you’re not super sensitive, they have a lot of options.
