Outback Steakhouse

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.

I spoke to my wait person about having celiac disease and explained it as an allergy to wheat, rye and barley. He said no problem, we've got you! Then he showed up with fried coconut shrimp rather than than the grilled shrimp I had ordered. Unfortunately, my steak order had to be sent back bc it was way overdone. When it came out 30-minute later there was a 6-inch wheat bread stick lying mid plate 😵‍💫

The waiter was very confused and did not understand what celiac disease was even after further explanation. Took my order as I was sure to say once again I couldn't have any gluten. I was sick for 3 days.

I've eaten there a number of times. Manager and staff take it seriously. Safe for Celiac's.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good service and the managers seem to really care about getting your GF order correct.

Please increase your selection of Glutin free items to include fish, shrimp etc...1 out 5 people have Celiac disease.

Thanks,

James Jones

very careful with your food

They were great about watching for cross contamination and brought my plate out separately from my family's. They didn't really have many menu options that weren't steak, but I ordered the grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and side Ceasar salad. The food was really bland, and the mashed potatoes were worse than school lunches in the 80s. They were flavorless, almost translucent, and disappointing. The chicken was decent but not my favorite. I had better food at another steakhouse chain.

Outback as a chain has always been safe for me. I order the grilled chicken on the barbie with double veggies and have never had a reaction, including at this location!

I ate here twice while I was in town. They note the GF allergy for the kitchen and when they bring it to the table the server knew it was designated GF
