Outback Steakhouse

I love the thunder from down under is so yummmmmmmmy dessert

Went recently to Shelton Outback and was very pleased with take away service. Server Patrick was attentive and careful with my order. He made sure the gluten free part of our order was correct and packed carefully to avoid cross contamination. Very pleasant server and experience.

Had an Amazing Dinner and Dessert(Choc Pecan Thunder Brownie! To Die for!) didn't get sick after! A great experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good meal and nice to have a separate GF menu. I only wish they didn't put things like to make the burger GF leave off the roll or it comes with French fries but they are not GF so don't get them. Wish they had gF rolls and fries.

Very good gluten free menu nice to have more choices than just salads. Our waiter was fairly knowledgeable on gluten free.

Ordered from dedicated gluten free. Many options!

Decided to try outback since there were good chain reviews, but the service and food quality here was lacking. They did offer a GF menu, but options did still feel limited. I got the sirloin steak, baked potato, and a house salad. Steak was cooked well, but bland. Baked potato was drenched in butter, which I was not expecting. No burger options for GF.

My husband got normal, gluten filled food, and it was also sub par. We thought it was funny that his burger bun was falling apart as badly as GF buns do! I had little pitty for him lol

We got the chocolate thunder down under dessert, which was yummy, but very very rich.

All in all, it was over priced for the quality of food we got. I did not have a reaction, so good on that front.

AMAZING! My husband and I ordered out and I put on my order celiac just to give them a heads up since I did order a salad and a couple items that could come in contact with gluten. They went above and beyond! They not only made sure that nothing with gluten was on or near my food, they packed my items in one bag and marked it with an allergy note and then packed my husbands items separately and when they brought out our food they even double checked that everything was okay that was in the bag!

ordered from the gluten-free menu (filet mignon & lobster, a house salad w/ no croutons and mashed potatoes). house salad came with crouton crumbs on it. when i asked a waiter if they could fix it for me and i pointed out the crumbs and how it looked like the croutons were put on and taken off, they tried telling me that the workers change their gloves every salad and that they "didn't do that", but they brought a new one anyway. the owner even came over and said the same thing. did not feel safe at all eating here. the lobster was really good but i was pretty upset with the salad experience.
