Gluten-Friendly FAQ
We know you have questions, and we have answers. Here are our frequently asked questions answered by our Registered Dietitians.
How does Outback Steakhouse create its gluten-friendly menu?
Our Registered Dietitians and Culinary team review each ingredient carefully to ensure that it can be used to create flavorful gluten-friendly dishes. From there, we work with our training team to teach the importance of understanding what gluten is, how to prepare gluten-friendly menu items, and best ways to serve the needs of our guests. It’s important that we execute our gluten-friendly menu items flawlessly and understand the needs of our guests from the minute they walk in the door to when they take their last bite.
Are Outback's seasonings gluten-friendly?
Yes. All Outback seasonings are gluten-friendly.
Does Outback have a gluten-free kitchen?
We strive to offer gluten-friendly menu options, but do not have gluten-free kitchens. Because our dishes are prepared-to-order, during normal kitchen operations, individual foods may come into contact with one another due to shared cooking and preparation areas. Thus, we cannot guarantee that cross-contact with foods containing gluten will not occur; however, we take every step possible to prevent this.
How does Outback reduce the risk of cross-contact with Gluten?
Outback provides gluten-friendly education to all of its employees and has a protocol for each time a gluten-friendly menu item is ordered. This includes: hand washing, glove changing, using clean cooking equipment and utensils, and special ordering instructions for our chefs.
Are Outback's gluten-friendly items certified as gluten-free?
The menu items do not have a gluten-free certification. However, our registered dietitian works closely with our chefs and supply chain to validate our gluten-friendly ingredients and menus.
