Stopped in for dinner, Outback has a gluten free menu. As always, let the server know that you need to eat gluten free. I had the ribeye steak which was cooked as requested, baked potato and salad. Very nice experience.

This was my last and final time ever eating at an Outback. The menu is overpriced, the steaks are tiny and small for $20. Our food was not correct, the waiter didn’t check on us not even one time. Then we asked for the bill and asked her to take off the items we didn’t receive. She brings it back telling me she took them off hoping i was dumb enough to not look at it. It was a horrible Mother’s Day experience and once again I was sorely disappointed in Outback. No matter where we go to one it’s not what it used to be

Normally, Outback does an excellent job with handling my order as a celiac. This location I'm sure was just an exception. My food came out not only on the same tray as the rest of our group, but the plate was actually touching the sandwich on another plate. Our server served my plate last with bare hands after touching the plate with the sandwich. It was a disappointment, but like I wrote earlier, my visit and/or this location is probably the exception.

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
