So happy to find a safe GF place to eat near 95 during our trip from NY to SC. They had a GF menu and were very careful to note down our orders correctly. They even have a GF brownie for dessert but we did not have any.

Usual Outback menu

I ordered salmon - no sauce with sweet potato - no honey butter or cinnamon. Our server was surprised I wanted such 'plain' food. This is what you eat if you have food intolerances!

Terrible experience today. Every part of our order was wrong from a fountain drink to the meal. We ended up asking to see the manager and left. Would not dare take a bite there.

They are attentive and try their best. I've gotten sick from there, so I would recommend speaking with a manager when ordering.

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
