They had a gluten free menu which was nice. I explained to my waitress that it was an allergy and she said she understand and would let them know. I got the Alice springs chicken and mashed potato’s and ceasar salad off of the GF menu. When my salad came it had croutons. I explained it was supposed to be gluten free and they brought me a “new” one. I’m not sure if I was just the same salad that they picked the croutons off of or if some other part of the food was contaminated but I was sick all night and into the next day. I would suggest people with celiacs stay away from this location. Allergies may not be taken seriously here

Update: We have been several times in the last year since my original review. I've been safe every single time, no matter the meal I order. We ate at this particular location a few months back and somewhere along the line, I consumed gluten, as evidenced by my quick body response. We went back a week or so ago and I had my staple (Alice Springs chicken) and an alcoholic beverage (of which I did copious phone/Internet research because I'm one of those that can't have distilled beverages if the starting grain is gluten-containing). I'm happy to say I was not cross-contaminated this visit and our waitress took excellent care of me. Outback is almost always a safe place for me to eat and instances of contamination are very few for me. If I'd gotten sick a second time here, I probably wouldn't go back.

After grilling the waitress, I can tell you that the following seems to be regular practice: gluten free food is prepped in separate area, separate containers of butter are used, grill space is separate or cleaned prior to cooking. I had a complicated order, which came out exactly right and was delicious as well. A good experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

Loved the Steak and Sides, they have a GF menu and are very aware of allergies. Solid selection of gf options including a dessert that I look forward to trying next time

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!!
