Outback Steakhouse

They don't try to advertise as gluten free at all. Anyone who knows what they are doing would never order a burger and expect a bun outside of maybe San Francisco or a place that is specifically gluten free only.

Stick to steaks and proteins just avoid anything from the fryers. The bloomin' onions spit out batter into the oil like a firecracker going off.

I do not eat here anymore as it isn't safe for Celiacs but for people with wheat allergies you are okay. Just be careful.

Celiac friendly?

No

We had to ask for the gluten free menu. I order classic burger on this menu. I had just been in the hospital for eight days because of my allergy to wheat. My order came. I took a bit out of it. The bun tasted different the gluten free. I asked if it was gluten free. The waitress grab the burger to check with the cook if there was gluten in the meal. Well, she came back with a hamburger patty with cheese , (no bun, lettuce, tomatoes or pickles. I was offered a side dish of my choice. I had bread in my car, so I ran out to the car, got my bread asked for mayo and mustard. I had my cheeseburger and a salad. I got charge for the regular classic cheese burger over $9.00. I will not go back. I could easily ended up back in the hospital and I don't feel I should have paid regular price for the meal that I had to bring in my own bread. This is a dangerous place for Gluten Free costomers.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waiter was very understanding of celiac. They had a gluten free menu. I had steak with jacket potatoes and broccoli. Steak was really tender and tasty. Will be going again before we leave. Bit expensive and with limited choices it’s the way it is

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.
