The waitress's grandmother had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. My daughter ordered the steak and fruit for kids. Also she got a lemonade and vanilla ice cream. The waitress (Jill I think?) made sure the kitchen staff changed gloves and everything. She did not bring out bread at our request. Their GF menu was pretty large. I ordered a grilled chicken salad for myself.

Outback is great because they have a good sized gluten free menu and the staff was willing to ask the cook questions instead of guessing. The only complaint it the lack of knowledge on gluten free beverages.

Gluten free menu has everything from beverages to desserts. Waitress offered it when I asked, also available online. There doesn’t seem to be a possibility for cross contamination. I ordered a Cobb salad, no croutons, with gluten free ranch. Will definitely go back.

The service was great!! The waitress was educated and trained on gluten intolerance and had a separate menu for gluten free. They cooked my food separate as well! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is gluten free.

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
