I’m a big fan of stopping at an Outback when I’m travelling. Ask for a gf menu when you’re being seated. I always say I have a gluten allergy when I’m ordering. Every time I’ve been to an Outback the kitchen has been so careful about cross contact. They follow all allergen protocols, use separate spaces and change gloves etc. The gf brownie is a muuuust! I know there is some risk with chain restaurants, I do tend to avoid busy hours because I know how busy the kitchen can be so I’m either eating here at 4pm or 8pm!

The waiter took good care of me when I identified myself as a celiac. He brought me a GF menu and watched the chef as my meal was cooked to make sure I would be safe. The cook placed my steak next to bread and my server had him recook my meal before bringing it to me.

I’ve only had one bad experience here. They brought my salad out with croutons and instead of making a new salad they just took the croutons off and they came back. I was joking around with them saying did you just take them off and they said no but then I found crumbs all over the side of the salad bowl

GF menu available with plenty of options. Staff and food was great. Surprised to see a GF dessert options as well (didn’t try it though, simply didn’t have room!)

Agree with other comments that this particular outback used to be quite bad, but they greatly improved
