Is Outback Steakhouse Gluten-Free?

skip the Bloomin Onion
Good gluten-free options, with precautionsYes, off the GS menu

Yes, Outback is one of the stronger casual-dining chains for celiacs. It publishes a Gluten-Sensitive Menu built with dietitians, so a celiac can order a grilled steak, chicken, or salmon with a baked potato and steamed veg and know the modifications. The one rule: no dedicated fryer, so the Bloomin’ Onion, Aussie Fries, and anything battered are off-limits. Tell your server it is celiac.

The honest caveat: cross-contact

Outback says food is prepared in a common kitchen with the risk of gluten exposure and that it cannot guarantee any item is completely free of gluten. It has no dedicated gluten-free fryer, so all fried and battered items are unsafe; the grilled proteins and baked sides are the safe path.

The move

skip the Bloomin Onion

Order a plain grilled steak, chicken, or salmon off the Gluten-Sensitive Menu with a baked potato and steamed veg, and tell your server it is celiac so they hold gluten-containing seasonings. Avoid the Bloomin’ Onion, Aussie Fries, and anything battered, since the fryer is shared.

Based on Outback's gluten-sensitive menu, checked August 2026. Menus and prep change, and a shared kitchen can never guarantee against cross-contact, so confirm with your location before ordering.

Outback Steakhouse gluten-free, answered

Does Outback have a gluten-free menu?

Yes. Outback publishes a Gluten-Sensitive Menu developed with registered dietitians, covering grilled steaks, chicken, salmon, and sides. It calls it gluten-sensitive, not gluten-free, because the kitchen is shared and cannot guarantee against cross-contact.

Is the Bloomin' Onion gluten-free?

No. The Bloomin’ Onion is breaded with wheat and fried in shared oil, so it is not celiac-safe. Outback has no dedicated fryer, which means all fried and battered items are off-limits for a celiac.

Can celiacs eat at Outback?

Yes, it is one of the better casual-dining options. The Gluten-Sensitive Menu and grilled proteins are workable, and staff are trained on modifications. It is still a shared kitchen, so order grilled, skip fried, and tell the server it is celiac.
