I enjoyed my dining experience! Our waitress was very knowledgable and helpful. The atmosphere was great, too. They accommodated my soy allergy, also.
I hate giving a bad review for Outback because I have been to many other chains with great experiences. This one is one to stay away from, however. They didn't have a gluten free menu and simply printed out their "allergen" menu, which had conflicting information with their gluten free menu (which I looked up on my phone to verify since the items listed as gluten free on the "allergen" menu haven't been gluten free options in the past, such as fries and soups). When I asked about the conflicting information on the menus the server told me that "honestly everything is just fried in the same fryer" and that he didn't know what would actually be gluten free. The manager was also no help. Very frustrating and my family had to leave and go to a safer restaurant option. Will not be going back to this location. The one in High Point is wonderful, though!
I was pleasantly surprised that there was a gluten free menu which clearly marked what was safe for me to eat. I was also excited about the gluten free chocolate brownie dessert and it did not disappoint. Service was great, but most of the food had way too much butter and was soggy.
I thought I loved Outback Steakhouse for their wonderful *blooming onion*, but now I adore them for putting the effort into having a specific GF menu available to help make your dining experience more accommodating!
Although the blooming onion is not at all GF (sigh) they have many other tasty items available to choose from.
Side note: Might I recommend you try their blue cheese vinaigrette next time you order a salad. No, it tastes nothing like blue cheese (as I’m not typically a fan of that flavor). Yes? it’s GF :)
I’ve been to at least 50 Outbacks all over the country and they are always safe and so celiac friendly!
