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.

AMAZING! My husband and I ordered out and I put on my order celiac just to give them a heads up since I did order a salad and a couple items that could come in contact with gluten. They went above and beyond! They not only made sure that nothing with gluten was on or near my food, they packed my items in one bag and marked it with an allergy note and then packed my husbands items separately and when they brought out our food they even double checked that everything was okay that was in the bag!

ordered from the gluten-free menu (filet mignon & lobster, a house salad w/ no croutons and mashed potatoes). house salad came with crouton crumbs on it. when i asked a waiter if they could fix it for me and i pointed out the crumbs and how it looked like the croutons were put on and taken off, they tried telling me that the workers change their gloves every salad and that they "didn't do that", but they brought a new one anyway. the owner even came over and said the same thing. did not feel safe at all eating here. the lobster was really good but i was pretty upset with the salad experience.

I love Outback. It was one of the few places I could go and eat and not worry about being “Glutened”, then there was a change in management. They hired some new staff as well. I never had to test my food because I KNEW the food was safe. A couple of weeks ago we went in with the whole family and I ordered my go to, The Alice Springs Chicken, which is supposed to be gluten free, (period). I ordered a salad, (no chives tomatoes or croutons) with Honey Mustard and a Baked Potato (without chives). I ate almost a quarter of the chicken when my stomach started hurting really bad. I stopped eating it. I thought I was crazy. I took one more bite and confirmed it, what I already knew, it had gluten in it. I was in pain at this point. I didn’t say anything I asked for a To Go box and took it home so I could test it in my Nima. I never used to even take it in Outback because I had never had a problem in there before. By the time I got home I was in excruciating pain. I tested the chicken and it had gluten in it. I called them. i spoke to the Manager. I told them I didn’t want anything from them I just wanted them to know so they could fix whatever happened so it didn’t happen again because I loved eating there. I just wanted to be able to eat there and not get sick. They apologized, she said she had no idea what had happened. It should have been gluten free. She said the waitress noted I had a gluten allergy. That it was cooked properly. She said they even cook the Alice Springs Chicken on tin foil so it isn’t contaminated. (Apparently something didn’t go correctly…) She said another higher manager was going to call me the next day but no one ever did.
We went back a couple of weeks later. I ordered the same thing. I took my Nima with me this time. It tested without any Gluten in it. I was able to eat. I did not get sick. However, it was a different waitress and it was a different night of the week. I am not sure if that is the problem or not, but it seems like the ONLY similarity between the Glutened meals.
We went again On a Monday and two of my items came out wrong. The Alice Springs Chicken tested positive for Gluten. I took the onions off of my salad and ate it anyways. I didn’t send the potato back and I was brought a new one without onions. But, I am currently sitting here in horrible pain because something I ate had gluten in it. It wasn’t the chicken because I didn’t eat it. I didn’t test the salad, dressing, or the baked potato. We had the same waitress that we had the last time it happened and it was the same night of the week. I am sorry for the long post BUT if I am able to save ONE person from going through what I am going through right now then it was worth sitting here and typing all of this up. If you don’t have a NIMA then DO NOT GO EAT HERE. It is not safe enough anymore unfortunately. I’m sorry only gets you so far. They did offer to recook my food but I declined. I didn’t want to waste another capsule because I can’t get anymore right now. She said that she would remove my meal from our ticket then. We did ask if they had cooked the chicken on a piece of tin foil because apparently that is how they keep it gluten free. She said she thought so. If you read all the way to here then take it for what you will but know this. There is a 50/50 shot that you WILL be Glutened. It sucks because it was one a handful of places that was safe to eat. Plus The Alice Springs Chicken was my absolute favorite meal…..If you do go make sure you test your food before you consume it. I ALMOST ate my chicken tonight because the first capsule I used came out inconclusive. I think I put to big of a piece in it. I didn’t want to waste another capsule AND I was STARVING. I am so glad I didn’t.

I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and explained to our server that i had celiac disease. He came back with a gluten free menu with a variety of options, i felt so comfortable eating there and my dinner was amazing! he explained to me that they take it very seriously and that he will explain to the cooks and write an extra note. It was an 100/10 experience for me.

This place was awful from our walk in to our overall experience! First thing when we got there the hostess told us that they only had one table available by the bar, but when I looked around only a few tables were occupied and mostly by the bar. She went on to instruct us that all the other tables were dirty!! My husband did not want to create a scene so we sat down and decided to order simple and had burgers mine with no bun. I did not get sick from the food or at least not yet but I will never return to this restaurant!! Very sad that the manager didn’t even try or get someone to clean off all those tables including wait staff!

I have always enjoyed Outback Steakhouse and when I was first diagnosed 20 years ago, Outback was one of the first restaurants that I knew of, to offer a gluten-free menu. AND, they offer a gluten free dessert. But my latest visit was disappointing. Not from a celiac standpoint, but from a overall taste experience. The steak was way over-seasoned and was very fatty.

So happy to find a safe GF place to eat near 95 during our trip from NY to SC. They had a GF menu and were very careful to note down our orders correctly. They even have a GF brownie for dessert but we did not have any.

I was looking forward to eating here because I've heard good things about their gf menu and the website also says that they try to be careful with preventing cross contact. I ordered the Alice Springs chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes for my 2 sides. Everything turned out yummy and I enjoyed it! I made sure to tell the server that I have Celiac so that the chefs were aware. A couple of hours after lunch my stomach got really upset and I needed meds and tea to feel better. It was pretty soon after eating lunch so it would be weird if my stomach reacted that quickly, but I do have a sensitive stomach. They also offer a yummy gf pecan brownie that I was impressed with! I enjoyed the food and the service was great, but unfortunately I don't think it would be wise for me to eat there again.

Sadly I was glutened at this location. I ordered the Cobb salad and was sick about an hour later with a gluten response. I was advised that they had safe protocols in place. It's a shame because my salad was delicious.

Gluten Free Menu has a pretty good variety of options. Staff seemed knowledgeable about the allergy precautions, and whenever bringing out the food handled it carefully while noting that it was an allergy order. I had already been glutened elsewhere before eating at Outback but didn’t feel worse after eating there, so not completely sure how clear of cross-contamination it was, but was impressed by the menu and overall effort so I’d be willing to eat there again!

Went here for dinner. We haven’t been to an Outback since before Covid, but we’re here from out of town and wanted someplace with outdoor seating. Food was classic Outback. Taste very good, just w bit heavy on the salt (which is probably the norm for them these days). Served knowledgeable and had no reaction.

Phillip Morris had a gluten free girls back. He pointed me in the right direction on the menu and made sure all of my food was safe to eat. Staff like this make you feel safe to enjoy your meal without the nagging fear of getting served something you can’t have. I will definitely be back for excellent service.

I’m from out of state and our Outback closed so I’m always excited when I find one! I was diagnosed with celiac in 2002 - back then no one knew what gluten was and Outback was one of the first restaurants to offer a gluten free menu
Stopped in for lunch, their gf menu is pretty much updated/current (2023)
Server was knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free told me the chef will cook my chicken on foil on the grill
Had salad w ranch dressing, chicken on the Barbie , and loaded baked potato
I usually get the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under (gf brownie with gf ice cream) it’s sooooo good but it’s shareable size and I was alone…. I could eat it by myself but saving the calories so if you do go here save room for it so you can order!

The waitress's grandmother had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. My daughter ordered the steak and fruit for kids. Also she got a lemonade and vanilla ice cream. The waitress (Jill I think?) made sure the kitchen staff changed gloves and everything. She did not bring out bread at our request. Their GF menu was pretty large. I ordered a grilled chicken salad for myself.

Ordered the shrimp appetizer with no toast and asked for mashed potatoes instead. They said it would be an up charge, which is fine. I mentioned I was gluten free. The waiter came back to confirm, and I told him again that I was gluten free and specifically said no toast or bread. The shrimp came out plated directly on top of the bread. I gave the plate back and they asked me why I didn’t want it. They did offer to remake it, but I told them no because the whole place seemed a bit chaotic anyway.

I have celiac disease and had a fantastic waitress who was very lind and sensitive to my situation and explained that my shrimp would be grilled in a seperate safe area and told me she would be sure to put red flags all over my order so the kitchen would know how serious my situation was. I felt safe ordering plain grilled shrimp, plain asparagus, and a plain sweet potato and enjoyed my meal but even more importantly didn't get sick!
P.S. They provided me with a suace in a cup with my meal that I didn't not consume just to be on the safe side.

My server was knowledgeable about gluten free and even steered me away from the pink lemonade I asked about because there is a food starch in it from an unspecified source on the box of mix they use. Between that and the fact they have a separate gluten free menu, I felt safe enough to order.
I ordered Alice Springs chicken, mashed potatoes, asparagus, a side of grilled shrimp, and a glass of water. My server caught that they put my GF side of grilled shrimp on a piece of bread and had them remake me shrimp before they even brought out our entrees.
All this made me feel like they know what they're doing. It was delicious. But, I started getting my gluten exposure symptoms on the way home. I tried to shrug it off, but when I was awoken in the early hours with more violent gluten exposure symptoms, I knew they'd gotten me with cross contact.
This has been exactly like when I was taken out by a single chocolate truffle that happened to have barley malt powder in it (realized it after the fact, totally my fault), so I know it's my glutened symptoms.
I've been so ill, that I will not risk eating at Outback again.

We ate here and nobody got sick! My daughter is a very super sensitive celiac so we hardly ever go out to eat. Her brother has celiac too. We were out of town for a tournament and I spoke with the manager on the phone and at the restaurant and they reassured me they would take precautions. She had the grilled salmon, baked potato and house salad. My son had grilled shrimp and a 1/2 rack of ribs. We all loved our meals and are thankful nobody had any reactions. We made sure we went early, (4:30) so the chef wouldn’t be as busy.

Second time I ended up sick at this establishment. Ordered gluten free, started with salad. Third bite discovered small bits of croutons all through the salad. They must have just picked the larger pieces off. Ended up getting sick in the parking lot.NOT OK.

Went to outback last night and was definitely sick before I even left the restaurant. I mentioned that I have celiac disease before ordering. Plus the food was not quality.

As a Celiac the only truly safe food here is the steamed veggies and baked potato. They are very good and a decent choice when eating out with non-celiacs. The chance for cross-contamination and/or gluten in the other dishes is risky.

I pulled up gf menu on my phone, but as soon as I ordered a Caesar salad with croutons, the wait staff asked if I was gluten free. I let them know it was an “allergy”. Then when the wait staff had a shift change, they came up to ask for dessert and already knew that I had a gf requirement without my having to say anything.
Really appreciated the large menu options, the seamless recognition from the staff, and not getting sick at a chain!

We felt confident after reading reviews on this restaurant. However, we found the staff jokey and not very knowledgeable. They have a gf menu and we ordered off it, talking at length with the kind waiter. I discovered a crouton in the ceaser salad with a mouthful of it chewed in my mouth. After spitting it out, rinsing my mouth, and confirming all our food needed to be gf, we ate. The food was absolutely delicious and flavourful. And we left with cautious optimism. And then, I did not get sick at all! This experience reminded us that we cannot be confident anywhere. We always have to remind and restate that our food (every dish) has to be prepared and served gluten free. Overall, good experience (just a little scary). Long story short- Outback Steakhouse is great place to eat gf. And, you have to stress what gf is and remind staff to attach “severe allergy” to the order going into the kitchen. Everytime and every restaurant!
