Outback Steakhouse

Manager was very accommodating and made sure I didn’t get sick with any of my many allergies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great service and wonderful tasty Wheat free Menu! Just ask and they have their own Menu for food allergies.

I placed an order for pickup. I was a little nervous because the online gluten free menu didn’t indicate whether the recipe had been altered to make the entree gluten free. I just indicated celiac disease in the special instructions. The takeaway manager was super knowledgeable about celiac disease and, unprompted, assured me that all precautions were taken to eliminate cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Did really well with my allergy. I just stuck to meat and veggies. The meal was good and I didn't get sick. The gluten-fee menu is always nice to have. Makes ordering so much easier.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was able to eat steak and a salad while out with my gluten loving family. I'm new to the gluten free lifestyle but this place had plenty of gluten free options for me. Even had a gluten free desert even though I didn't try it. Bring gluten free, having plenty of options is a wonderful thing. Definitely recommend for a nice meal out.

Wonderful food and trained waiters.

very knowledgeable will go out of the way to make sure your food is as contaminate free as possible

The service was amazing! I am new to the gluten free life and didnt know how much they would offer or know about it but I had a good bit of food options and the staff knew about it too. I’m very satisfied with them !

Went there with my husband and celiac son. I always eat gluten free in case my celiac son would like to taste any of the food off my plate, so I order my food like if I was celiac too. The waiter had no clue what gluten free was and went and got another person. She came and said that they used to have a gluten free menu, but that they no longer have one. She said I could tell her more or less what we want and we could try to get it gluten free. She gave the example of like taking the croutons off a salad. And of course—NOOOOOOOOOOO. I was immediately scared that they were not aware of cross contamination. It was a scary experience and we did end up ordering a steak for my son with a baked potato. We decided we would never go back to that restaurant. It was just too risky.

Found the gluten free menu online and ordered through an app delivery service. I had the ribs, baked potato and a Cesar salad without croutons.

The staff is always happy to accommodate my needs with gluten free and dairy free requests. They will cook steak without butter on foil to ensure it doesn’t endure cross contamination for dairy free, etc. There is a gluten free menu, which contains a lot of the items from the main menu.

I have dined here dozens of times since 2006. When I had surgery at Albany memorial hospital in 2006 and the hospital kept trying to feed me gluten (I am a very sensitive celiac) this restaurant gave me my meal for free when they learned my family was bringing the food to me in the hospital. They have also never made me ill even once.

The server seemed very knowledgeable about celiac disease and gave me a gluten free menu. The food was excellent. Either the food was not gluten free or there was cross contamination; I was very sick later. 😕.

30 minutes now still haven't received the menu after every 5 minutes having a waiter pass by and say they would print it out at that moment. Once the menu came service was good

One of the best gluten free places to eat !!!! Even have GF dessert too !!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good gluten free food and nice variety

Went there the other night and found a tiny piece of the bread in my salad! Waitress had manager make me a new one and said manager is making my meal as well....but no manager came out and no meal discount on my food. I just hope I didn't ingest any crumbs from that bread I had unknowingly mixed around with my dressing. Not going back, can't trust it.

This location has permanently closed.

This location does not take Gluten free seriously. Last night my family visited and I’ve been ill ever since. Ordered off the GF menu and expressed my issues to the waiter ahead of time. My first salad plate had croutons all over it, the second plate had bread crumbs on the rim of the plate. Then my entree came out with a piece of a French fry, purposefully mixed inside of my sweet potato hidden under the butter and cinnamon. Horrible experience!

Celiac friendly?

No

Waiter made sure manager was aware of allergy. Staff made food in separate containers, double checked ingredients, and wore gloves.

It’s a steakhouse so there’s a lot of options just be careful about spices

This Outback is awesome! I also skip dairy most of the time so I order steak with no butter brush or seasoning, plain steamed brocolli and plain sweet potato. Just add salt and pepper at the table and I don't have to worry about any gluten sneaking into seasonings.

We eat here often & have never been glutened. We always take gluten enzymes when eating out. Love the filet with loaded baked potato. They have a separate prep area and allergy alerts appropriate for celiac.

One of the first place ever to offer gluten free. I can always count on getting a good GF meal.

Always get ample portions with clean meals

Food was yummy. The whole drive there, I was saying I was gonna have the Alice Springs Chicken (hands down my favorite at Outback) and then when we sat, I decided I actually wanted a ribeye steak. The ribeye was soooooooo good. It definitely made up for the so-so broccoli. My baked potato was yummy, although they skimped on the toppings a bit. The broccoli would have been better if I'd had the option for the cheese sauce, as during the pre-covid days.

This restaurant makes it clear that it is not a gf kitchen and that there exists the possibility of cross- contamination.

There is a current GF menu available on their website. I have been to this location of Outback Steakhouse many times without any problems. I typcially have enjoyed one of their signature steaks with sweet potato and a side salad made without croutons with one of their gluten-free dressings. The waitstaff and bartenders have always been very knowledgeable and helpful. I can't speak to other locations, but this one has been tried and true for me.

Tried eating there tonight, but all the good stuff was crossed off the menu and only the basic foods left. Even the dessert was gone. We ended up leaving since none of us could find anything we wanted.

The were very knowledgeable and brought out all of my food separately.

I just got a steak, vegetables and a salad.

Ordered a gluten free Cesar salad due to having Celiacs Disease and half way through eating the salad there was a crouton in it.

The outback sirloin was mostly fat. Never say this before in any steak

The staff seem to have been trained on gluten free prep and on the menu items. They always verbally confirm your order and modifications.

The food is always tasty. The lobster, chicken, baked potatoes and the brownie dessert are my favorites. I love that they offer a dessert option that’s so good. My only wish is that they’d invest in gluten free bread to bring out to the table, it’s always awkward watching everyone else eating bread.

Don’t order a salad. Twice now I’ve had them pick off croutons that were added in error, which will still make me very sick!!! I love their salad but I can’t take the chance.

They've expanded their options even more and I couldn't be happier. Staff understands precautions and I have not gotten sick from here.

I have celiac disease and have eaten here many times over the last 10 years. Staff is very informed and the cooks are also very aware of the gluten issue. Great place to eat safely for celiacs.

Manager very aware of celiac and gluten free options. Separate gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

I had the GF ribeye. It was obvious that they cooked the steak in aluminum foil. It was bland and tasteless. If this is how they cook gluten free then I would not recommend eating at Outback

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was excited to see a dedicated GF menu. Waitress seemed to be knowledgeable with the GF menu since she gave it to me but I had to mention several times I was ordering from this menu and how severe my intolerance was and could not have gluten nor cross contamination. She never acknowledge me. My items such as my bake potato cake closed with topping separately but there had to been contamination because I later became very sick!!!! Be aware.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was very knowledgeable and reassuring! Had a great meal and not an ounce of sickness! Definitely win! They even tell you about the separate area in which they prep.

They were extremely careful with contamination and there are many options including dessert

Celiac friendly?

They were busy and very overwhelmed. My food was cross contaminated. Very significant sickness following my meal here.

I have had successful visits here before, however it seems like this Outback is poorly managed and getting worse with time. I will not risk it again at this location.

Celiac friendly?

No

My Pleasant Outback - Food took over an hour to get to our table...they didn’t cook the shrimp, wrong steaks presented as what we ordered. Stay away!

I eat here weekly they take allergy seriously. I have never gotten sick here. They also have a separate gf menu

The server and chef took my celiac disease seriously and mentioned they make the salads in a separate area. They have a separate gluten free menu and are very clear about what does and does not have gluten. I've gone there multiple times and it's my favorite place in Duluth to get a steak.

Celiac friendly?

Gf menu available. Absolutely love it!!!

Great steak! Get the garlic butter sauce on it!!!Good size gf menu!
