I wouldn’t trust items that were listed GF. I got a steak and salad and was sick afterwards.
I went here for my birthday dinner because I recently heard about their gluten free menu and was excited to go somewhere different. I ordered a salad from the gluten free menu and it arrived covered in croutons. I then tried to order the gf brownie sundae that was mentioned by another reviewer, and is on the gf menu, only to be told by the waiter that they don't have it and he doesn't know why I thought they did. I then showed it to him on the gf menu and he told me again that they don't have any gf desserts so at this point I just gave up. Not worth the risk.

The waitress was very knowledgable and asked the manager when she did not know something. They now have a separate GF menu. The food was delicious. My daughter loved the GF brownie ice cream dessert.
Markets being GiG trained, but after reviewing the gluten free menu with my waitress, she still asked me if I wanted some honey wheat bread? Wish I could.

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.
