Outback Steakhouse, Concord, Nh

I went to the Outback Steakhouse in Concord, NH, last night for dinner.

My fiance waved away the bread because of my wheat allergy. To my surprise the waiter said "Oh! We now have gluten free bread and hamburger buns!" He then proceeded to order up some for us and returned several minutes later with a small loaf of some of the most delicious, moist, and fluffy gluten free bread that I've had yet.

Apparently, they have only been serving gluten free breads for a month or two. The waiter was very excited about being able to tell us about it and he said that he had tried it and loved it.

I cannot wait to go back and try a hamburger!

That's great news. I hope they serve the bread everywhere. My youngest is so hard to control when the bread arrives for the rest of the table, but we can't eat it.

Wow how exciting. The Outback on Cape Cod has glutened me the last 3 times I've been there. I finally called the General Manager of the entire chain. They told me they are going to go over the gluten-free protocol in Hyannis and try and fix the problems.

Lets hope so!

Hmmm, I called my local restaurant and had not heard anything about gluten free bread.

I wrote to the company about it and here is my email and the response I got-

Comments:

I heard that at your Concord, NH Outback Steakhouse location you now

offer gluten free buns and bread. I called the location nearest me in

Madison, WI and the manager said they have not heard anything about

this. Is gluten free bread going to be offered at all locations or just

specific markets?

Response:

G'day,

Thank you for your email! I have attached a gluten free menu to this

email. You will want to avoid our bread and buns. They are not gluten-free.

Thanks,

Michelle

Are you SURE the waiter knew what he was talking about, what if it wasn't gluten free?- you did say it was the most delicious, moist, fluffy bread! (most gluten-free bread unfortunately is not). Did you have any sort of reaction? If I were you, I would call back and talk to the manager of the restaurant you went to, just to make sure.

I have been back there since and had their gluten free hamburger buns.

I have a severe headache reaction whenever I eat something with any gluten in it within fifteen minutes of eating it. I'm talking knocked out and in bed migraine headaches. The only thing that gets rid of them is a Benedryl and about 6 hours of sleep. I didn't even get a thought of a headache with these.

When I went in this time, I acted as if I had just heard about it and wanted to know if it was true. I had a different waitress and she was just as excited about them. She says she likes them better than the regular breads and buns. She told me that she has tried them, but employees are not allowed to just eat the gluten free stuff because it's so expensive.

After eating the hamburger buns, I can definitely say they had the taste and texture of something made with rice flour. Not as good as the gluten free bread they served. Perhaps this is something that they started doing at this particular location because of the demand for their gluten free dishes in this area? I'm not sure, but it was confirmed for me when I asked the original waiter if he was sure the breads were gluten free.

What great news! thank you so much for the heads up on this one. I live 20 minutes from Concord, so I emailed the Outback to confirm this information and was pleasantly surprised when the manager/owner, Mark phoned me himself. He stated they are the only ones with gluten free rolls and hamburger buns right now. Can't wait to try them out! I usually frquent the Bedford, NH Outback and have been treated very well -- never glutened.

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to the forum (and to the whole Celiac thing), I've only have posted a couple times so far, but I wanted to confirm that this is 100% true.

I live on the Seacoast of NH and went up to the Belmont dog track/poker room tonight and on our way we stopped at the Outback in Concord to find out if the too good to be true news was indeed true.

I walked in asked for the gluten free menu and before I could even sit down the hostess let me know they had gluten free bread. I literally said to her "so the rumors are true" and she laughed so I'm guessing she must hear that alot.

The server brought it out with the regular bread and drinks and it was just awesome to be able to eat some bread before dinner. It was pretty good too (I actually asked for seconds lol), but of course not as good as the regular ole bread :-( but hey how can you even complain lol. My wife, who is not a Celiac, tasted it and said it tasted like corn bread to her.

Unfortunately luck was not completely on my side, I asked the waiter about the burger buns and they had JUST ran out earlier during the lunch rush, but they do indeed carry them!

Anyways sorry for rambling but this was very exciting and cool to find out that it is true. I only wish the one near me in Portsmouth would follow suit.

Anyways thanks for posting about this, otherwise I would have never known and probably never bothered making the trip.

I went to the Outback Steakhouse in Concord NH on November 24, 2008. They no longer serve gluten-free bread. I was told that Corporate said they could no longer serve. I'm sure it was risky for them. They did have a variety of gluten-free menu items with their own menu. It was tasty.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the a...

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me ...

Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
