Outback Steakhouse

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Several grilled and salad items to choose from. Staff listened to my concerns and was accommodating. I have not gotten sick from their steaks and baked potatoes & veggies. Visited twice post diagnosis.

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter ordered the Alice springs chicken off the gf menu and specified that she needed it prepared gf for celiac. She ordered mashed potatoes for her side. When the waiter brought it out the side was fries. We told him that if the fries were gf, it was ok as she would actually prefer fries. He said yes, the fries are gf and he had specified it to the kitchen. He had also told us he had worked there for a long time. My daughter had already eaten two fries when he came back to the table and told her not to eat them, he needed to check on it. He came back out and grabbed her plate and said he was wrong, they are not gf.

First time trying outback, they have a variety of gf menu items. I ordered the alice chicken with mashed potatos itwas really good! No reaction.

Celiac friendly?

No

Got sick twice even though I spoke to the manager and owner

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While I felt okay eating there were things not great about this location. First, parking was difficult. Small lot. 7 spaces dedicated to take away. My salad had very little dressing. I had the pork chop and baked sweet potato which were good. Not the best Outback... not the worst either.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My extra sensitive daughter has had a great experience here both times. It is unnerving when the server doesn’t seem knowledgeable, but I could tell the last time that consult happened with the kitchen staff when she wasn’t sure. Good GF menu with several options.

Waitress and kitchen handed my son’s allergies (gluten, dairy, egg) just fine. Thank you Outback for being a place we can trust when home or away!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not celiac friendly, they brought out a salad with croutons on it and then just tried to take the croutons off and served it back to me with breadcrumbs everywhere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not much to choose from and the filet wasn’t as good as other places! No appetizers other than salad. Much better steak houses

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free option just like other Outback locations. Attentive staff that is knowledgeable.

Food was fine. Delivery was slow-ish. Still no ribs

We waited an hour with no food delivered. They ran out of ribs so we left.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and service. Would return.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our 9yo daughter is celiac and has been sickened at a different Outback location. She chose to eat at this Outback in Chico for her birthday dinner. Armed with our Nima we took her. The wait staff was knowledgeable and sent a manager to speak with us as well. We tested her steak and potatoes with the Nima and no gluten was found. She enjoyed her dinner and went home happy and healthy!

The staff here actually have a clue. I had a great safe steak dinner. They have a printed out gluten free menu.

Ordered the Alice Springs chicken as I had read that was a tried and true option. Ordered without bacon, came with bacon but was remade. Broccoli on the side. Thunder from down under dessert. All tasted great and no reaction.

Food was fine and they seemed to understand when I mentioned celiac. However, I don’t usually have really clear cut indicators when I get “glutened” so I can’t say for sure but I think I got glutened here. Went a few days ago and have just felt crappy since then. Eat at your own risk,

Great place to enjoy a nice meal with the family. We all found something we liked.

I didn’t get sick, but had to send the steak back. The first time, it came out with butter and seasoning which are not GF. The second time it was cooked perfectly. Pay close attention if you order a steak.

They have a separate GF menu. Server was knowledgeable about gluten free. Since my son does not show symptoms I am unsure about cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and what was GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered a caesar salad after disclosing allergy and it came with croutons. Mistakes happen so we sent it back. Salad comes and we notice some crumbs. Ask the server if this is a new salad or if they just removed the croutons. They were told by kitchen staff it was a new salad. Turn over lettuce---sure enough there is still a crouton in the salad. A final salad is brought out without croutons, but all trust is gone. I've been to outbacks that are okay but this one really doesn't know what it is doing.

Never had a problem ordering or obtaining gluten free, and never sick so fairly confident I've not been glutened here. Updated 2019 to reduce to 3 stars. Brought salad with croutons and sandwich with bun last, said vanilla ice cream has gluten now. New wait staff not knowledgable or not paying attention. Haven’t ingested gluten but it’s been much more stressful here the last few visits.

Celiac friendly?

No

I loved Outback before I was diagnosed, but I’ve been back twice since I was diagnosed and I’ve been glutened both times. The first time I found a piece of angel hair pasta in my salad, and the second time, I found a crouton in my salad. The waiters always seem to be knowledgeable, and the steaks seem to be okay, but I’m not entirely sure if I trust the restaurant anymore.

Celiac friendly?

No

I normally have good luck with the GF menu. But last two times I’ve eaten at outback I have gotten really sick. 1) was the mashed potatoes on gf menu 2) was chicken

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate gluten free menu to order from so be sure to ask for one. I normally order their Ribeye, baked potato and broccoli which have been delicious. I’ve also had their lobster tails, asparagus, side salad with no croutons, and twice mashed potato as well. I love their gluten free brownie/ice cream dessert!!! Overall, I love this place, their food and service has been excellent.

Celiac friendly?

No

I got so sick eating here. I’ll never go back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! Entire gf menu with appetizers, main course, and even dessert!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Standard chain food. Tried this location twice. Never got glutened but ended up with a salt hangover after the last time due to the high amount of salt in the food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We go all the time! I alway order with the manager due to my daughter having celiac & the fact that she is super sensitive. They are great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the best GF menus! I’ve eaten here dozens of times and never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Do not eat here. Ever since they moved to the new location they can’t get it right. Gave it too many chances, with the manager involved every time. Still croutons, etc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have stopped here a couple times now on our way home from the Chicago area (where family lives). This is a fabulous Outback location, and the GF menu is great. They are very informed and understand that Celiac is serious. They even ask if it is ok if the other guests at my table eat bread and make sure they position it far away from me. This last time we visited, they allowed me to do the Aussie 4 Course with substitutions (broccoli instead of soup and a GF dessert instead of cheesecake) for a only a $2 upcharge. I was thrilled and stuffed! Great deal and accommodation for someone who never gets “the deal” because she has Celiac. Would highly recommend this location. I have never had ill effects eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff here all knew what Celiac is, and what I needed. There is a fair number of gluten free options, and my food tasted great. I did not get sick, and I'm usually very sensitive to cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Typical Outback gluten free experience! Always get a steak and gluten free sides. Never get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server didn't know but passed my concerns on and came back with several suggestions. No reaction to the good. YAY

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What an awesome experience!!! I love going someplace and telling them I have a Gluten Allergy and they are like...OK. They are well educated and friendly. They have a delicious desert - The Chocolate Thunder From Down Under!!! Gluten Free and OMG... Is come here just for that. Plenty of GF options and Lilly in Dover was the best server we have had all year!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They did a great job let the server know I was celiac and even had a manager come buy our table letting us know she was over seeing the order to make sure it was safe

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eat here often as it’s minutes from the house...never had an issue as the staff is trained to accommodate for celiac disease

Definitely ordered things that’s we’re supposed to be gluten free and got sick. Filet, grilled shrimp and a Ceasar with no croutons. Bread was never even brought to the table per my request. Had a rash within an hour. Very sick later. Server seemed to not really care about me needing no gluten, doubt she told the kitchen.

No issues at all! Great GF menu. Manager brings the food to you! They cook the steak or chicken I get on tin foil.

Celiac friendly?

No

The menu is gluten friendly, not gluten free. Took that chance, had to stop at a DQ to use the bathroom for 20 minutes on the way home. The ride home is only 10 minutes smh

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nima tested the pork chop and it was safe

Loved that they had a gluten free menu. And dessert! Food turned out great! Very happy.

Celiac friendly?

No

Sadly I have to change my review. Not safe to eat here anymore. Found croutons buried inside my salad the last few times I ate here. Old review: Have stopped to eat here for many years. Very dependable. Food is your usual chain fare, unimpressive but still tasty. Make sure to ask for an experienced server.

Felt weird after I ate my meal even after telling the server specific instructions on my food since I have a gluten and soy allergy. Got a salad to go explaining the same thing. Got home to find my salad covered in croutons and got a stomach ache again from eating my leftovers from dinner so I know he didn’t specify my allergy. Have eaten at other locations without problems. Just be careful at this location.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu and reassuring staff! Can get a variety of celiac friendly meals here.

Celiac friendly?

No

My celiac daughter ate there twice and was sick both times. Waiter seem unconcerned and dismissive about celiac and GF. The first time brought the salad with croutons, came back with the salad without croutons and she felt sick immediately. The same happened the second visit, no croutons on the salad but sick within minutes of eating the salad. This is particular to this Terre Haute location. They must not follow procedures to avoid cc. We have had consistent no issues back in Plano TX.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After talking with the manager I decided to give Outback a try. Food was amazing and everything tested with the Nima was found to be gluten free!!! You have to try the GF desert. Delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This Outback has a great GF menu! Salads, steaks, chicken, seafood, and even dessert. It was really good and it didn't hurt me!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

UPDATE: NOT celiac friendly. This was one of a few places in the LV I would eat but they are disorganized. They do not have fries on the GF menu but said the fryer is dedicated GF. A manager confirmed...so I had been ordering them and wondered what was making me sick. Suddenly they told me they were NOT gluten free and bad things were happening in the kitchen so they were transitioning to a new kitchen manager... fast-forward and I decided to give it another try 1+ months later. They gave me a salad that had cheese picked off with residual cheese and a few small pieces left (I also can't eat dairy), but it was obvious they weren't following proper procedures for gf with fresh ingredients, changing gloves, etc. I did make a big deal about having celiac. AFTER that I alerted the manager and said my entree NEEDS to be made carefully and properly. When it was delivered the broccoli had butter all over it. The manager then made my broccoli again herself. After all this they didn't comp ANYTHING from the bill. They made me sick, I paid them $80. They are too sloppy in the kitchen, not checking themselves, getting people sick. Stay away if you have celiac and other allergies/intolerances!!
