I spoke to a waitress who was very accommodating and helped me problem solve with the kitchen how to prevent any contamination with dairy or gluten. She was great and the food was good!

I ordered online for carry-out. I very specifically noted in three different spots on the order (with steak, with salad, and with shrimp appetizer) Celiac - NO Gluten, please. I also requested No Toast with the Shrimp Appetizer, No Croutons with the salad, and No Bread with the order. When I opened the big bag there was a smaller bag with a loaf of bread sitting on top of the order. I wasn’t thrilled but it was in its own bag so I felt ok with the rest of the order other than the baked potato topping that were under the bread. As I got into the entree container, though, the add-on shrimp that I ordered with my steak was wrapped up in foil but sitting on a piece of toast. I get that I am taking a chance with cross contamination by eating at restaurants but I would have thought that they would be careful enough not to actually stick both a piece of toast and a loaf of bread in an order with Celiac marked all over it. Obviously they don’t take any care or pay any attention to food allergies.

Every time I've eaten here ice gotten great service. The manager usually takes and prepares my order to ensure that it's GF. They have a pretty good variety of GF options. Of course, make sure to tell them not to bring the bread. Lol. Oh and the brownie desert is AMAZING! And completely GF.

Waiter was very understanding of celiac. They had a gluten free menu. I had steak with jacket potatoes and broccoli. Steak was really tender and tasty. Will be going again before we leave. Bit expensive and with limited choices it’s the way it is

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.
