Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was the first bad experience we've had at Outback. We were promptly seated, but had to wait 10 minutes for our waitress, while watching several waitstaff pass us by with no water on the table. The waitress we ended up with acted like someone who is on pills. Very odd behavior. The blooming onion was overcooked and greasy, but she did offer to bring another one. My ribs were delicious, but EXTREMELY fatty. My husband's quesadilla was overcooked. I don't know if this was an off day at this restaurant or if management is bad, but we won't return to this Outback.

Understood Celiac and food allergies well. Had a diverse menu!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu, delicious dessert!

From 10/2013- Great menu options. Although server was not very knowledgeable, he tolerated my coaching pretty well.

Went again in Jan 2014- the server was very knowledgeable and willing to ask kitchen extra questions and went extra mile. Their gf menu didn't have children's items listed, so when I asked him if a child's burger is gf (their others are)- he was happy to check with cook.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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
