Outback Steakhouse

Gluten free menu made it easy to determine what was safe to eat. If you're looking for anything with bread (burger, sandwich, etc.), they do not have gluten free bread. However, they do have a gluten free brownie and clearly identify gluten free salad dressings and side items.

So first of all, haven’t been to Outback Steak House in 10 years and I what I discovered in returning left me pleasantly surprised! My waitress was Jenn, she was super attentive and awesome at explaining everything. The gluten free menu is extensive and will leave any celiac quite happy. I had grilled chx breast with bbq sauce, a Caesar salad, ribs, and finally had the desert all with zero problems! I’m a very sensitive celiac and its been an hour since I ate with zero problems. I would recommend to any celiacs or even normal people.

It's great that outback recognizes being gluten free with a detailed, separate menu, but with all of the compromises they have to make, they may as well just put little symbols on their main menu like most other restaurants. For starters, they explicitly state that their Aussie fries (a flagship dish of Outback's) are not gluten free. That in its self is nearly a deal breaker, but their hamburgers, which were excellent when I could eat the whole thing, are only gluten free if they don't serve it with the bun. So if that's what you order (it would be a hamburger with Aussie fries typically), all you are getting is a grilled beef patty. Gluten free, but a very poor compromise, which I think does not justify eating at Outback until they figure out how to prepare more of their menu items actually gluten free.

They had a separate GF menu making it very easy to see what they had for a selection. It was a great selection with a wide variety of options. My meal was great!!

Great service at this location! I had salmon with white rice and it was good. No reaction at all.

Update: My son seems to have had reactions twice here since. :( not sure how serious they take cross contamination. Our first server there seemed really aware, the others in not sure. Be careful. I don’t know we’ll be returning and especially without a conversation with a manager. Staff seemed aware and careful when bringing gluten free menu items to the table. My son had no reactions following the meal. Would be nice if they could offer a gluten free fryer. Menu is pricey for a chain, but a good option to add to our local list.

My son has celiac. There was a GF menu. He ordered a steak, baked potato and skewer of shrimp. Did not get sick.

Had Jesse as a waiter he was absolutely wonderful. The menu was awesome my daughter had ribs even with barbecue sauce. I got ranch on my salad. Potato was yummy and the dessert I thought my daughter was going to take out my husband lol. But their never seems to be dessert that’s gluten free so we were so excited. I would definitely recommend for celiacs and gluten sensitivity what a wonderful experience will come back next time we’re in town

My celiac daughter ate a baked potato here. We even tested it with the Nima and it tested <20ppm gluten. The only complaint is a limited menu that my child likes at least. Other, less picky people, may find the menu to be acceptable.

Staff is very knowledgeable and takes care of my allergy needs.

Best gluten free meal experience we have had anywhere since diagnosis. Cody our server was very knowledgeable and took great care of us!! The food was delicious...don’t leave without the chocolate thunder from down under!

Eaten here many times and never had a problem. Food is always great

Absolutely amazing!!! My waiter lashonda did an awesome job and we were extremely pleased and happy with the service. They were very careful to avoid cc and my meal was amazing!

I’ve eaten here 3 times and each time I’ve been very specific about being celiac. The servers are uneducated about what it means to be “gluten free” and one even asked where I got their gluten free menu. I ate basic food (grilled chicken, steamed veggies, salad) and all 3 times I’ve gotten sick. I won’t be going back, even though they have a “Gluten Free Menu.”

Large gluten free menu with quite a few options! Staff was friendly and I didn’t get sick from my meal. I had a steak with the garlic butter, mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies.

Knowledgeable wait staff, great service. Most of menu available GF. My daughter was SOOO excited about the GF dessert Chocolate Thunder from Down Under (Choc brownie w/ ice cream)!! Will definitely be back.

Full GF menu with knowledgeable staff. Had a steak and potato and felt great!

Gluten free menu and really good selection compared to like Texas Roadhouse

Very good gluten free menu. Had prime rib, baked potatoe, and broccoli. No upsets at all.

I got a gluten free menu and the waiter I had didn’t even write down that I was celiac and sure enough I got sick. So tell them to write down you have an allergy or they won’t! But the food was good.

Awesome menu choices. Servers are educated about celiac disease and quite helpful. We go almost weekly and they go out of their way for me every time. I have my mushrooms sauteed in butter because their roux contains flour. I never knew that - they go above and beyond!!! I highly recommend Outback Steak House!!!

We always enjoy Outback. Very grateful for their gluten free options.

The server and manager were great! I was well taken care of and had plenty of options. I ordered the Alice Springs Chicken, mashed potatoes, and side salad with no croutons. Everything was prepared well and I had no issues.

Daughter had a reaction this week when we ate there, but I did not. Ordered off the gf menu. I had Alice Springs Chicken and she had steak. Possibly seasoning on steak or cc from the grill?

Great food and service! I was very impressed how this Outback handled my gf needs. There is a separate gf menu, so make sure to ask for it and reinforce with your server that you're ordering specifically from the gf menu. They use a separate part of the grill and clean utensils for gf items. When I told my server I couldn't have gluten, he brought out a veggie platter so I could have something to munch in lieu of their bread, which was a very nice touch! I had a delicious and juicy grilled chicken breast, baked potato, and mixed veggies. They even have a gf brownie for dessert, which I regret I didn't have room for. I left the place very satisfied and feeling great!

They were so helpful after finding out about how I needed not only gluten free food but also dairy free food. The manager came out and answered all of my questions. There was a lot to choose from on the gf menu.

Asked for the gluten free menu when taken to be seated. Good options. Server was very attentive and understanding. No issues with the food. It’s outback..

We ate vegetables, stuffed potatoes, pork and meat. I tested potatoes and barbecue sauce in Nima. I ate the only gluten-free dessert option. It is not adaptation, it is gluten-free in its original version. Also tested and approved by Nima.

I was very impressed with the manager! I told our server that I am gluten free when I ordered. The manager came to our table to let us know that the kitchen staff would change gloves, aprons, and wipe down everything before preparing my food. His daughter has celiac, so he understands! We had a fantastic experience at this Outback.

They have a separate gluten free menu if you ask for it! I ordered the filet, baked potato and broccoli. The broccoli was a little soggy and meh but I had no reaction from my meal there. The staff was very polite and attentive.

When I went there I asked about the GF-Menu. I ordered a filet with mashed potatoes and broccoli that were on the list. The stuff asked me if I would like some bread and I said no I eat glutenfree. After eating my meal I had my usual symtoms which I have when I eat gluten, so this place is not safe for people with celiac deasese l!

Very large selection of GF options and I was very happy: my first and BEST steakhouse experience I’ve had since being diagnosed 2 years ago!

Stake is really good also service dessert is very good

This location is great with regards to GF. The gluten free menu offers options including salads and steaks. No problems at all.

The gluten free menu here is great! They even have a gluten free brownie that was awesome. Definitely a friendly place for celiacs. I will be going back a lot!

Gfree dessert is always great xtra, they have some knowledgeable staff, decent selection of food

I honestly should give one star but my waitress was “nice” but totally Uneducated when it came to GF. My family went to LEGOland and was exhausted afterwards so we trusted Outback as an option for dinner because it was conveniently located near our hotel and we trusted the chain. They presented me with a beautifully organized and separate GF menu BUT THEN kept messing up my order after I specifically told them I had a gluten allergy and was ordering off the GF menu that was given to me. My first salad came out with breaded chicken so I sent it back and then my second salad (attempt) came out with croutons!! Long story short....she told me I “shouldn’t expect the kitchen to know what gluten is” 🤷🏼‍♀️

The staff was very knowledgeable.

Have eaten here on many occasions and never had any issues or been sick after.

Staff was very knowledgeable and assured me that precautions would be taken to prevent cross-contamination. I had grilled chicken and mashed potatoes and it tasted great! They were busy but managed to keep my meal safe!

Great GF menu. Staff is knowledgeable and trained. Ate here on a business trip and had no reaction.

Server not well trained on Gluten. Asked if I wanted bread. Then even after I ordered off the GF menu getting the Aussie Cob with chicken, he asked if I wanted the grilled or crispy chicken. Not exactly inspiring confidence. Looked ok, but this morning I’ve been cleaning out. Not 100% sure that was it, but celiacs be cautious. Have had the same meal at other Outback’s with no issues.

Huge GF menu. They even gave me a gf dessert as part of a trio meal deal to accommodate my allergy.

They are very aware about celiac and they even have a gluten free menu. They will make sure nothing gets contaminated. The Aussie Cobb Salad is usually what I get and it is soooooo good!! Make sure when you walk in you ask for the gluten free menu from the hostess.

Gluten free menu and my daughter loved her gf brownie sundae!

Multiple visit and never an issue. Nice options and staff have always been helpful. They stated tell server you have celiacs.

They advertise gluten free menu, but have no follow through with cross contamination. We ordered dinner sakad, Ceasars salad, and after having a few bites found croutons crumbs. Plain coming sense doesn't go through the wait staff. I've been sick for over 24 hrs! Shame on you Outback Steakhouse, Burleson....

Great selection of steaks and chicken all gluten free. Chips are not Gluten free cooked in same fryer. But plenty of other options mash potatoes, salad, veggies and bakes potatoes. Great sauces which are Gf as well. Staff had great knowledge

Never had any problems at any Outback, husband had steak, loaded potato and salad and wine. I had Alice Springs Chicken and a salad

Outback on Alpine continues to impress. Brought my food out separate from my wife’s. Had ribeye, baked potato with back, and broccoli. No butter on baked potato as requested. Thunder down under available if you can have dairy. Total confidence.

I’ve eaten here safely several times but thankfully know how to order safely, ask about ingredients and how they prepare the food. They do have a gf menu but will still bring bread to the table automatically even when you have the menus. I ALWAYS double check my food that they’ve given me the correct plate. It’s happened to me often enough that they try to give me the wrong food or a salad with croutons. They really need to work on training the staff & kitchen on celiac/allergen safety. Compared to other chains, they’ve a long way to go here.

I love Outback! I always tell the staff about Celiac, and they have protocol in place for “allergies” and such!

I had to order delivery because I was worn out from riding from Erie, PA. The woman who took my order understood I have a gluten allergy-Celiac. When my order was delivered to the hotel there was bread wrapped in foil with the dressings for my potatoe. Unbelievable I have this to say. If Outback Steakhouse is going into business selling fat and grisle and ligaments as ribeye steak then I will not give you my money again. Or maybe because it was a delivery piece of meat/ligament/grisle the cook felt it acceptable. I ordered a medium cooked steak. See photos. See photos. Unacceptable to do this on a delivery. I don't know if I should eat the salad.

Wonderful manager, Eric, prepared my food. I have gluten and soy allergies and he looked through all the ingredients to see what I could safely eat. Wonderful meal and service! Victoria was a great waitress!
