Outback Restaurant

Recently we ordered grilled chicken and grilled shrimp for our entrees. Grilled veggies, seasoned rice, salad and grilled pineapple came with this meal. However the seasoned rice had gluten so we were able to substitute mashed potatoes. Our waitress was great and we made certain that we reminded her to not add croutons to our salads and to mix the salad in a new bowl.

I wouldn't recommend the grilled shrimp for people, especially men, who have large appetites. The portion was appropriate for me but not for my husband.

ENJOY EATING AT OUTBACK!

i go to the outback alot myself , they have a gluten free menu and they look after me really well , i get a victoria steak with baked potato and salad i take with me a gluten free thai chilli sauce i like and use that to spice up the potato and steak works really well.

I used to work at an outback, but this was way before I was diagnosed.. Lots of people would come in asking for the gluten free menu. I understood that their were certain ingredients in some of the food that "these people" couldnt have. Until I myself was diagnosed I had no clue and I felt odd asking a customer to explain. So if you ever do go to a resturaunt I would like to urge people to maybe explain a little better to the waitress or waiter what evactly celiac and gluten free is. I have and you'd be surprised at the reaction you get and then they will know for the next person they wait on that needs the same specialties..

Lorraine, thanks so much for the advice! We live and breathe gluten free, and sometimes forget that not everyone know what it is.
