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 have a lot of gluten free options, even dessert. That being said, I still got glutened. I ordered strictly off of their gluten free menu - steak, baked potato and salad (no croutons). Our waitress was very attentive but I’m sure it’s a case of cross contamination in the kitchen. The next day, I felt the affects. I’m giving 3 stars because my son who is also celiac felt fine.

Wife has Celiac and is very thorough in making sure there is no cross contamination when eating out. We have gone here twice since finding out they are celiac friendly and have been impressed both times. The waitress both times knew everything about not having cross contamination and didn't bring out bread until I asked (I can have gluten). Thought that was well done. Manager came out both times after ordering to make sure that we knew they took the allergy seriously. Really enjoyed going here and would recommend. We went on busy weekend nights too and they were still very accommodating and helpful.

Even the manger came out to talk with me! They used different ingredients and pulled fresh items out of the back to ensure my safety. Talk about a sigh of relief!

I asked for the gluten free menu and ordered a grilled chicken salad. it came out with croutons so the waiter took it back. I knew it came out far too quickly for them to have made me a new one. Sure enough they missed a crouton. The waiter came at the moment I had found the crouton, so my face said it all. He got his manager and they made me a new one to go free of charge (forgot the dressing though). If I had a severe allergy then this would have caused a reaction. I wasn't very impressed.

For a chain restaurant they are great. Up front about the possibility of cross contamination. But they are very careful. They have a gluten free menu,you just have to ask. And if it is on there menu and it can be made gluten free with just a few changes, they'll make it for you

I had the chili and the mashed potatoes because I wasn’t really feeling a steak that day. Gluten free menu is available but with somewhat limited choices if you don’t feel like having steak.

Horrible, will not go back

Had a GF menu but half the things on the menu were no longer available. Had to repeat gf salad order twice and it was still brought out wrong. Waiter could have cared less.

I ordered the gluten free Shrimp and Steak combo. it's only GF when the shrimp are not placed on a piece of toast.

My dinner arrived with the Shrimp on toast. I asked to check if the toast was GF. The server returned with a small plate stating the toast contained gluten and offered to remove the piece of toast or the shrimp and toast.

I explained that they had to remake the meal which they did.

Therefore, beware when eating here. The staff is not properly trained!!
