I ordered from the gluten-free menu and was served the gluten versions anyway.
Ignored the gluten allergy label and added bread in the same package as the shrimp.
Just ask for a manager! Serving food could cross contamination, leaned food items on top of each other.

I've been here twice. They have a separate and expansive gluten free menu which is great! The first time the server was up front about his lack of gluten knowledge and went through all of the ingredients with me so I could tell him what was not okay plus he let the kitchen know. Five stars for that visit. The second time I felt like the server wasn't paying attention to my need for gluten free, and they brought out my salad with croutons which I sent back and was remade, but it made me nervous about the rest of the food. However, I didn't get sick. Three stars for that visit and I won't go on a busy night again.
My name is crystal Underwood and I love the food there it was so great I will go there again
As always, the outback was a good experience, it was my first time at this location and we enjoyed the food and staff.

Perhaps the best San Diego Outback location? Fries here are gf (some locations fries aren’t) and staff is accommodating and knowledgeable.
Make sure if you get the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under to omit the whip cream
Before arriving at the restaurant I called and spoke to the manager Matt he let me know what options I had for my allergies. He told me to let him know when I arrived. He personally managed my food and I had a great experience
Two of our party of 12 are diagnosed celiacs and one is suspected celiac. One of us got glutenned. The waiter did not correctly put in our allergy order and salads came out with croutons. We sent offending salads back and they allegedly remade them. The person bringing the food was different than the waiter, had no idea about the three allergy orders, and did not announce the stats of the food being brought. This restaurant needs a big overhaul of training. There was unsafe food being placed down at the seating of the celiacs place.
Update Nov 2024
We have eaten here several times since my first review, and again yesterday.
All still good at this location. I had the Alice Spring Chicken from the GF menu. The manager checked on us twice. No reaction a a very enjoyable meal.

Happily, no reaction to a nice streak with fully loaded baked spud and asparagus off the GF menu. We all shared a chocolate Thunder as well. Our server was fully aware of the need for caution.
Next time we are in Jonesboro we will eat here again.
I love Outback. Most of the time I go, I get grilled chicken on the Barbie, with a Caesar salad minus croutons, and a sweet potato. Delicious, satisfying and I don’t feel like I ate horribly. This past time my mother got the fried blooming shrimp which I believe is a seasonal thing and she very much enjoyed it. I had no problems what so ever.
