Was cross-contaminated. Even specified that I had a “gluten allergy” and couldn’t have cross-contamination.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!! I have celiac disease and went to this outback because they have a gluten free menu. I ordered steak with grilled shrimp with veggies and a side salad with no croutons. Well salad came out with croutons, had to send it back. Then my order came out and the shrimp was laid out onto a piece of bread. Had to send it back. About 5 minutes later they gave me a new plate. They said they threw out my plate and made a new one. Well they didn’t make me a new one. Got sick later on in the day. If you have a GF menu at your restaurant please train your staff properly. I hope this doesn’t happen to other people. So letting others know to be very cautious!

My friend likes Big Meat do we used to go here. I'd get the filet and salad with no croutons or bread. It wasn't great food but it was okay. Then one day my friend says "hey Ellie they have a gf menu!" And makes the server bring it over. I look out over and I'm all like "wow they have gluten free barbeque! How often do ppl go out of their way to make gf bbq?" So I ordered it. It was just okay, kinda not great bbq but whatever it's gf and I didn't hafta makeit!

I was sick for a week, couldn't work out anything. I mentioned it on Facebook and my gf friend who's tapped into ask the gf communities tells me she got sick at a different Outback of the gf menu and so had a lot of ppl in her gf groups.

Not to be trusted. Mediocre food, anyway.

For a chain restaurant they are great. Up front about the possibility of cross contamination. But they are very careful. They have a gluten free menu,you just have to ask. And if it is on there menu and it can be made gluten free with just a few changes, they'll make it for you

I had the chili and the mashed potatoes because I wasn’t really feeling a steak that day. Gluten free menu is available but with somewhat limited choices if you don’t feel like having steak.

Horrible, will not go back

Had a GF menu but half the things on the menu were no longer available. Had to repeat gf salad order twice and it was still brought out wrong. Waiter could have cared less.

I ordered the gluten free Shrimp and Steak combo. it's only GF when the shrimp are not placed on a piece of toast.

My dinner arrived with the Shrimp on toast. I asked to check if the toast was GF. The server returned with a small plate stating the toast contained gluten and offered to remove the piece of toast or the shrimp and toast.

I explained that they had to remake the meal which they did.

Therefore, beware when eating here. The staff is not properly trained!!
