The waiter took good care of me when I identified myself as a celiac. He brought me a GF menu and watched the chef as my meal was cooked to make sure I would be safe. The cook placed my steak next to bread and my server had him recook my meal before bringing it to me.
My experience here was great. They have a separate GF menu and the server was knowledgeable about what I definitely could and couldn’t have when I wanted to make substitutions. No illness at all and I thought the food was good. I don’t like steak ironically but I got chicken and it was perfectly cooked. BBQ sauce is GF and basically all meats. I feel like it’s easy to be safe here.

Always go to Outback as a go to place when traveling, however, this Outback brought a salad out with croutons. Sent it back and second salad had croutons. Canceled order. No one had a concern about leaving or even asked why.And they were not busy!
The staff has been knowledgable and helpful every time I've eaten at Outback. No reactions and everything has been delicious. If you are salt sensitive, may want to request low salt for the meat.
Got the GF prime rib, so juicy and tender! Also had the garlic mashed potatoes, perfect! Love how big of a g-free menu they have, must go back and try more.

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.
