Outback Steakhouse

My celiac daughter ate there twice and was sick both times. Waiter seem unconcerned and dismissive about celiac and GF. The first time brought the salad with croutons, came back with the salad without croutons and she felt sick immediately. The same happened the second visit, no croutons on the salad but sick within minutes of eating the salad. This is particular to this Terre Haute location. They must not follow procedures to avoid cc. We have had consistent no issues back in Plano TX.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

Favorite gluten free meat eaters paradise

Waitress didn't seem to take my requests seriously. Didn't eat much just because I was unsure. Baked potato was safe. Not sure I will eat here again.

Told them I was celiac and ordered a ceasar salad with my dinner. They brought out a regular salad with croutons on it. Made me wonder about my dinner so I asked for the manager. He did go back and start my food from scratch but not sure what would have happened if I had not intervened.c

No

Good experience here. The waitress assured us the manager knew all about making sure things were gluten free. Good GF menu and the food was great!

Wonderful staff that know about food allergies! Great GF menu and say how things Are prepared separately from other foods even before asking.

Impressed with all the gf options. Dos was great!

This is my favorite GF place in Terre Haute because they take me seriously when I mention my gluten allergy. They will mix salads separately and will ask follow-up questions when taking your order.

Lots of gluten free choices, excellent food!!

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!!
