Waitress was clueless about gluten free. She brought bread to the table and put it down right in front of me. And then my Brisbane Caesar Salad came out without dressing and … wait for it … RAW SHRIMP. Not impressed. Not sure that I’ll ever go back to this restaurant.

I took HC13’s advice below and got the fire grilled shrimp (that sauce!!!) and asparagus, and I added a side salad with ranch. Amazing! This was in State College, PA, but I’ll be looking for an Outback close to home. Can’t wait for that shrimp again.

Knowledgeable and aware! They do have a gf menu, but I choose to get the Wood Fire Grilled Shrimp (without bread) with a side of Asparagus which are both shown as gf in allergen menu. Delicious!

Went there on Mother's Day and then today on Father's Day. The manager (Megan) was fantastic and the owner even made our son's salad himself. The owner and the manager both came and checked on our meal throughout our time there. We don't eat out much due to our son having Celiac, but having gone to this Outback twice with no issues, we will be going back. Our waitress worked with the manager to ensure that every precaution was being taken to avoid cross contamination.

Gluten free menu - with great options! Knowledgeable staff! We ate here twice on a trip to PSU with my Daughter, who has celiac, and she was great each time. The only thing that would make Outback better is a separate fryer so my daughter can once again have the Aussie cheese fries!! Will definitely eat here over and over.

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!
