Went there with my husband and celiac son. I always eat gluten free in case my celiac son would like to taste any of the food off my plate, so I order my food like if I was celiac too. The waiter had no clue what gluten free was and went and got another person. She came and said that they used to have a gluten free menu, but that they no longer have one. She said I could tell her more or less what we want and we could try to get it gluten free. She gave the example of like taking the croutons off a salad. And of course—NOOOOOOOOOOO. I was immediately scared that they were not aware of cross contamination. It was a scary experience and we did end up ordering a steak for my son with a baked potato. We decided we would never go back to that restaurant. It was just too risky.
I don't eat out that often due to celiac and multiple, severe food intolerances, but this is one place that I have found that I can go and eat safely. They take food allergies very seriously. I have eaten there many times over the years since my diagnosis, and I have never been sick or cross-contaminated. And FYI - THEY NO LONGER HAVE A GF FRYER which the Outback chain forced them to remove; personally that didn't make a difference to me since I'm focusing on maximizing my nutrition and fried food tend to disagree with me, even with healthy oils.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is currently in search of a new gluten free food supplier. Previously, they had practically every food a gluten free-er could hope for. They had everything from gf macaroni and cheese and blooming' onion to gf bread and dessert! It's definitely worth the money and travel!
MANY GF options, I was overwhelmed by the choices. The staff was incredibly helpful. Our order got mixed up and we received a dinner that contained gluten but the staff quickly resolved it and was apologetic. We will be going back again.
I live in Atlanta, work in the food service industry as a food safety educator/consultant and I am gluten-free. I drive past 2 other Outback locations to drive nearly 20 miles to visit this Outback.
They have an extended GF menu and a staff that is well versed in the nuances of cross-contamination. They also have a dedicated fryer and all my gluten eating friends say that a Gluten Free Bloomin' Onion is much tastier than regular one.
This is by far the best gluten free option in Roswell. The entire staff is very well trained on gluten free items and they have dedicated areas for preparation and cooking. This particular outback also has several additional items they prepare gluten free (more than most of the Outbacks). One of the manager's there has Celiac so they have perfected many of their menu items. This is my fave gluten free dining option!

They had a gluten-free menu, and I mentioned that I was an allergy person. We made the point that I could not eat the appetizers or the complimentary bread. I ordered the 6oz sirloin with grilled shrimp, broccoli, and potato. When my order arrived it had the shrimp on a slice of bread. They took full responsibility for the mistake. Our waitress apologized and so did the one delivering the food. The waitress said she knew, but forgot to put it in the right way. They remade me a whole plate even swapping the potato I had originally ordered for a sweet potato on my next plate. It was spicier than I like, but otherwise, it was a good experience. The manager even came out to make sure everything had worked out.
The waiter was super knowledgeable about CC and ensured that the kitchen is great about ensuring no CC. The salad was great and I had no reaction.
They have a great gluten free menu and waiter was really knowledgeable about celiac.
I was shocked to find out they had a separate GF menu and the waitress seemed knowledgeable and comfortable with the topic. I was there with a group of 6 people and when the food arrived another staff member brought out my GF dish 1st. So far so good. No reactions. It's been a few hours and I would usually know soon after eating if I had an exposure.
Service was wonderful and such supportive staff for my child’s Celiac. Very knowledgeable on cross contamination.
