DO NOT TRUST THIS OUTBACK! I am a big Outback fan and love their food but this Outback can’t be trusted. The waiters/waitresses there are knowledgeable but the kitchen does not take proper precautions to make your food safe. Years ago, I had no problems here but since I moved here in March, I have had at least 3 reactions from this location.

Terrible experience! 1,5 hour wait to be seated, 25 minuets wait to get food(half of the tables were empty btw), asked for gluten free and was glutened and sick, also the stake was very!!! salted… Oh their GF menu doesn’t have prices, cuz probably GF people are rich and don’t even need to know prices. Very limited GF menus too…(( Oh yeah, we got our $30 back 🙄 waisted 2,5 hours and got sick… thanks…

Staff was able to discuss the celiac protocol. There is a separate menu. The dessert was AMAZING- warm chocolate pecan brownie with chocolate fudge, ice cream, and whipped topping. It was 1500 calories, but it was worth every calorie!

They actually brag about their home made croutons on their gluten free menu, that should tell you enough. The food was good, but you have to be very careful about what you order here. it's not worth the risk.

Gluten free menu is very good and very clean and gentle. The boss man has a wife that is a celiac! Or used too. I eat there several times a year.

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!
