Outback Steakhouse

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hector helped us and got it right. We got the Rib Eye gluten free and it was excellent. No sign of any reaction from an extremely sensitive Celiac. Two could easily split that steak.

Celiac friendly?

No

After checking with the chef, the waitress informed me that the only option for me was a steak-if I had veggies, they would need to be dry as ALL their butter has gluten. Same with their baked potatoes. No butter available. The salads are all prepared with croutons, so there would be no guarantee there wouldn’t be croutons or crouton-crumbs in every salad.

Nice stop for gluten free at the airport. Thomas was very helpful. Made sure my food was gluten free

Excellent. Very knowledgeable about Celiac. No cross contamination. They change gloves and cook your meat/chicken/fish on aluminum foil. I had Nancy as my server, she works day shift and was awesome.

They have a separate GF menu. I am not sure if there’s any cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered a Aussie Cobb Salad from the gluten free menu and expressed my need for gluten free. Our food was delivered by the manager and my salad had croutons on it. I don’t send food back so I didn’t eat while my family was able to enjoy their food. My husband wanted to leave but I insisted on letting them eat since we waited over an hour (Saturday night) and the kids were hungry and their food was fine. The manager did offer to make a new salad and told me he would make sure it was ok for me to eat but I am a one strike and it’s out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here fairly regularly. They are always great about making sure my order is gluten free. Great service and food.

I eat here frequently and you have to confirm its gluten free but I have had no issues so far.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

CHOCOLATE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER!!! SOOOOOO good. The staff was amazing. They answered all of my questions and ensured my meal was 100% safe!

Great options on GF menu, a little less communicative when I said I had an issue than I like, but overall good experience.

Great service and wonderful tasty Wheat free Menu! Just ask and they have their own Menu for food allergies.

Celiac friendly?

No

Separate GF menu. Ate grilled chicken and broccoli and was glutened.

Waiter was very knowledgeable, but apparently, the chef was not. I had a steak, mashed potatoes and a salad. Told waiter I was GF, but still got glutened - bad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf menu. Knowledgeable waitress.

I’ve eaten here 3x since diagnosis and have had no problems. Loved the dessert option!!

Celiac friendly?

No

That was expensive and awful...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here several times with no issues and no symptoms after. The staff seems well-trained and the gluten-free menu has many options.

Informed the waitress I was celiac and have gluten, peanut and soy allergies. She wrote it down and told the chef as well as checked all spices and sauce. Also was given a GF menu. I had grilled chicken, baked potato and vegetable. Was very good and had no issues. Will definitely return!

Went today for lunch - requested gluten free menu, no issues. Waiter asked if I wanted bread brought to the table since I was gluten intolerant. I said yes - my family members are bread lovers 🤪. Food was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu. Kind and accommodating staff.

Celiac friendly?

No

Tasted good, but I got glutened from the steak and mashed potatoes. Not worth it.

Look, it's an Outback. It's food is consistent with every other Outback you've ever been to in your life. The waitstaff is always very kind. The sweet potato is baked (boiled?) so much that it's watery, but maybe that's your thing! I eat it and enjoy it well enough. Their BBQ sauce is a 3 out of 5 if that matters to you lol

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter ordered the Alice springs chicken off the gf menu and specified that she needed it prepared gf for celiac. She ordered mashed potatoes for her side. When the waiter brought it out the side was fries. We told him that if the fries were gf, it was ok as she would actually prefer fries. He said yes, the fries are gf and he had specified it to the kitchen. He had also told us he had worked there for a long time. My daughter had already eaten two fries when he came back to the table and told her not to eat them, he needed to check on it. He came back out and grabbed her plate and said he was wrong, they are not gf.

First time trying outback, they have a variety of gf menu items. I ordered the alice chicken with mashed potatos itwas really good! No reaction.

Celiac friendly?

No

Got sick twice even though I spoke to the manager and owner

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While I felt okay eating there were things not great about this location. First, parking was difficult. Small lot. 7 spaces dedicated to take away. My salad had very little dressing. I had the pork chop and baked sweet potato which were good. Not the best Outback... not the worst either.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My extra sensitive daughter has had a great experience here both times. It is unnerving when the server doesn’t seem knowledgeable, but I could tell the last time that consult happened with the kitchen staff when she wasn’t sure. Good GF menu with several options.

Waitress and kitchen handed my son’s allergies (gluten, dairy, egg) just fine. Thank you Outback for being a place we can trust when home or away!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac friendly, they brought out a salad with croutons on it and then just tried to take the croutons off and served it back to me with breadcrumbs everywhere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not much to choose from and the filet wasn’t as good as other places! No appetizers other than salad. Much better steak houses

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free option just like other Outback locations. Attentive staff that is knowledgeable.

Food was fine. Delivery was slow-ish. Still no ribs

We waited an hour with no food delivered. They ran out of ribs so we left.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and service. Would return.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our 9yo daughter is celiac and has been sickened at a different Outback location. She chose to eat at this Outback in Chico for her birthday dinner. Armed with our Nima we took her. The wait staff was knowledgeable and sent a manager to speak with us as well. We tested her steak and potatoes with the Nima and no gluten was found. She enjoyed her dinner and went home happy and healthy!

The staff here actually have a clue. I had a great safe steak dinner. They have a printed out gluten free menu.

Ordered the Alice Springs chicken as I had read that was a tried and true option. Ordered without bacon, came with bacon but was remade. Broccoli on the side. Thunder from down under dessert. All tasted great and no reaction.

Food was fine and they seemed to understand when I mentioned celiac. However, I don’t usually have really clear cut indicators when I get “glutened” so I can’t say for sure but I think I got glutened here. Went a few days ago and have just felt crappy since then. Eat at your own risk,

Great place to enjoy a nice meal with the family. We all found something we liked.

I didn’t get sick, but had to send the steak back. The first time, it came out with butter and seasoning which are not GF. The second time it was cooked perfectly. Pay close attention if you order a steak.

They have a separate GF menu. Server was knowledgeable about gluten free. Since my son does not show symptoms I am unsure about cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered a caesar salad after disclosing allergy and it came with croutons. Mistakes happen so we sent it back. Salad comes and we notice some crumbs. Ask the server if this is a new salad or if they just removed the croutons. They were told by kitchen staff it was a new salad. Turn over lettuce---sure enough there is still a crouton in the salad. A final salad is brought out without croutons, but all trust is gone. I've been to outbacks that are okay but this one really doesn't know what it is doing.

Never had a problem ordering or obtaining gluten free, and never sick so fairly confident I've not been glutened here. Updated 2019 to reduce to 3 stars. Brought salad with croutons and sandwich with bun last, said vanilla ice cream has gluten now. New wait staff not knowledgable or not paying attention. Haven’t ingested gluten but it’s been much more stressful here the last few visits.

Celiac friendly?

No

I loved Outback before I was diagnosed, but I’ve been back twice since I was diagnosed and I’ve been glutened both times. The first time I found a piece of angel hair pasta in my salad, and the second time, I found a crouton in my salad. The waiters always seem to be knowledgeable, and the steaks seem to be okay, but I’m not entirely sure if I trust the restaurant anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

I normally have good luck with the GF menu. But last two times I’ve eaten at outback I have gotten really sick. 1) was the mashed potatoes on gf menu 2) was chicken

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate gluten free menu to order from so be sure to ask for one. I normally order their Ribeye, baked potato and broccoli which have been delicious. I’ve also had their lobster tails, asparagus, side salad with no croutons, and twice mashed potato as well. I love their gluten free brownie/ice cream dessert!!! Overall, I love this place, their food and service has been excellent.

Celiac friendly?

No

I got so sick eating here. I’ll never go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! Entire gf menu with appetizers, main course, and even dessert!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Standard chain food. Tried this location twice. Never got glutened but ended up with a salt hangover after the last time due to the high amount of salt in the food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We go all the time! I alway order with the manager due to my daughter having celiac & the fact that she is super sensitive. They are great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the best GF menus! I’ve eaten here dozens of times and never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Do not eat here. Ever since they moved to the new location they can’t get it right. Gave it too many chances, with the manager involved every time. Still croutons, etc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have stopped here a couple times now on our way home from the Chicago area (where family lives). This is a fabulous Outback location, and the GF menu is great. They are very informed and understand that Celiac is serious. They even ask if it is ok if the other guests at my table eat bread and make sure they position it far away from me. This last time we visited, they allowed me to do the Aussie 4 Course with substitutions (broccoli instead of soup and a GF dessert instead of cheesecake) for a only a $2 upcharge. I was thrilled and stuffed! Great deal and accommodation for someone who never gets “the deal” because she has Celiac. Would highly recommend this location. I have never had ill effects eating here.
