We're are going to celebrate our anniversary in a couple of weeks and this is my husband's first venture into a restaurant (other than our anniversary party a few years ago) in 3 years.

My question is has anyone eaten in this Outback and what was the experience...? Any comments?

Thanks

Deb

Hi, my family ate at the Sringfield Outback once and it is my 6 year old son with Celiac. They were very accomodating and my son did not get sick. We have not gone back because he is now dairy free as well and the mashed potatos are now out as are the fries because they don't have a dedicated frier so I don't know what he would eat with his meal. But it was a good experience.

But if you are looking for good places to eat with a gluten free menu, try the Bonefish Grill. There is one in Greenbrook also on Rt. 22 and one in Woodbridge right across from the Woodbridge Mall on Rt. 1 & 9 (in the old Chi Chi's building). Also attached to that is a Cheeseburger in Paradise which is a great choice if you have kids because even the fries are gluten free.

Nicole: The online menu states that they also have baked potatoes....I do not like "garlic mashed potatoes" and my husband cannot eat garlic (& many spices) ....did they not have baked potato on menu when you went there? How long ago was that visit there?

Well again, Bonefish has "garlic mashed potatoes" - no baked potatoes on their menu. I contacted corporate and they said to call about a week before & the restaurant can obtain potatoes for our meal - but that's too chancey. What if they forget? What if they choose potatoes that are inedible or they run out or they don't make a large enough potato for my husband (he usually eats two as he doesn't eat salad nor vegetable).

At "Cheeseburger" don't you have to bring your own gluten-free bun?

What is it with this "garlic" mashed potato? Can't they make them plain and let you decide if you want flavorings on your own?

Hi, at Cheeseburger in Paradise you would have to bring your own bun, my son eats the burger on a plate, never ate a bun even before Celiac. The baked potato was on the Outback menu when we went but he is picky and won't eat a baked potato. Says he doesn't like it even though he never had it. Anyway, now that he is dairy free too he certainly wouldn't eat one without butter.

Great news! For the first time in 3.5 years my husband and I ate out...we went to Outback Steakhouse in Springfield NJ and had a wonderful dinner...even had the gluten-free ice cream dessert. My husband cannot wait to go again. The only thing that stunned him was the price of eating out after almost 4 years.

We want to try Bonefish Grill next....

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
