The server was very attentive about making sure my order from the GF menu for GF was carefully entered. Dinner tasted awesome. Woke up with symptoms of being glutened anyway. It’s a gamble to eat out but I feel like this location maybe put on a show without delivering

I asked about their kitchen process and our server reassured me they deep cleaned pans and grill, changed gloves, the whole nine yards! I got the chicken and baked potato and everything sat really well! delicious and safe :)

Talked to the Manager and Kitchen manager, they both assured me they have separate fryers for the fries and the oil is not re circulated, so no chance of cross contamination. Gloves get changed, streaks cooked on foil, and changed to fresh clean utensils due putting together sides. Had a great steak with steak fries. The kitchen manager came to check on us several times, overall a great experience.

They have a dedicated gluten free menu with great options to choose from including a dessert. We had a great experience and happy to report no cross contamination side effects after eating there.

Our server was great about helping me order something gluten and dairy free. She even listed other allergies to help eliminate cross contamination issues. The food was great and service terrific!

Amazing service, waitress was so nice and knew what gluten was, I had no reactions at all, Alice Springs Chicken was delicious, and I loved the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under! The only problem was that we ordered a salad, and they put croutons on it, so they made us a new crouton-free salad. If you have celiac, tell your waiter or waitress that you are very allergic, and they will tell the cook to be very careful.

One of the first place to have a GF menu way before it was cool and I have never had a problem/reaction to it. They are very knowledgable and have a lot of options compared to other restaurant claiming they have GF menus

Decided to try outback since there were good chain reviews, but the service and food quality here was lacking. They did offer a GF menu, but options did still feel limited. I got the sirloin steak, baked potato, and a house salad. Steak was cooked well, but bland. Baked potato was drenched in butter, which I was not expecting. No burger options for GF.

My husband got normal, gluten filled food, and it was also sub par. We thought it was funny that his burger bun was falling apart as badly as GF buns do! I had little pitty for him lol

We got the chocolate thunder down under dessert, which was yummy, but very very rich.

All in all, it was over priced for the quality of food we got. I did not have a reaction, so good on that front.

AMAZING! My husband and I ordered out and I put on my order celiac just to give them a heads up since I did order a salad and a couple items that could come in contact with gluten. They went above and beyond! They not only made sure that nothing with gluten was on or near my food, they packed my items in one bag and marked it with an allergy note and then packed my husbands items separately and when they brought out our food they even double checked that everything was okay that was in the bag!

ordered from the gluten-free menu (filet mignon & lobster, a house salad w/ no croutons and mashed potatoes). house salad came with crouton crumbs on it. when i asked a waiter if they could fix it for me and i pointed out the crumbs and how it looked like the croutons were put on and taken off, they tried telling me that the workers change their gloves every salad and that they "didn't do that", but they brought a new one anyway. the owner even came over and said the same thing. did not feel safe at all eating here. the lobster was really good but i was pretty upset with the salad experience.
