Outback Steakhouse - Roswell, Georgia

I had the pleasure of eating at the Outback Steakhouse in Roswell, GA today. Celiacs in Atlanta have been raving about this location for several months and I finally decided to check it out. Wow! They get it. All you have to do is request the gluten-free menu and they take care of the rest. This location has a dedicated prep area and dedicated fryer that is covered when not in use. They can also accomodate dairy and soy-free (these are the ones I asked about but I'm sure they can accomodate other intolerances.)

In addition to the standard Outback gluten-free menu, they have:

Bloomin' Onion

Gold Coast Coconut Fried Shrimp

Bushman Shrooms

No Rules Pasta

Toowomba Pasta

Mac-A-Roo N'Cheese

Bloomin' Burger (with the onions)

Plus a few more...

Their gluten-free pasta is Tinkyada and their buns are Kinnikinnick. They also have a selection of gluten-free beer (Bard's Tale, Green's) and cocktails.

Wonderful! Don't I wish there was something like this close by to me! I'll have to keep watch on the one that is at least within traveling distance. I could get excited over this :lol:

It was a wonderful experience especially for a super sensitive celiac like me. I'm so excited that the concept of cross contamination is finally getting traction with restaurants. I also like that more restaurants are starting to offer gluten-free versions of their existing menu items. Hopefully if we support estabishments like this one things will continue to improve and more restaurants will take note.

Is there anything kid-friendly to do in Roswell, GA? That might actually be vacation worthy!!! Are they as knowledgeable about other allergens also? Our Outback in Lancaster, which used to be relatively safe, has really gone down hill lately and we don't go very often anymore because I got sick so many times in a row.

Being a "super sensitive" myself, I never eat in restaurants but I just can't get the thought of a gluten-free Bloomin' Onion out of my mind :D

Talk about heaven! :rolleyes: Wish I was anywhere near Roswell.....ironically, I used to live in Lawrenceville, GA......

Hi! Has anyone been here recently? I am thinking of going in about a week and a half. All the info I can find is from 2009. Also, just to make sure, this location is at

655 Crossville Rd.

Roswell, GA 30075

right?

Thanks!

Laurel,

I ate there for the Local Gluten Intolerance group for their Thanksgiving dinner. It was great. I had no problems. It is a great place to go. This is where I was introduced to Udi bread which is great also. I would recommend this one for anyone.

Roswell GA is very close to Atlanta GA and there is tons of kid friendly things to do! GA Aquarium, World of Coke, Atlanta ZOO, etc.. very vacation worthy! It is Outback's test kitchen for Allergy menus, being wildly successful I hope they plant another test kitchen soon!!

If you are travelling through Atlanta, it is worth the detour to go to the Outback. We travelled from Jacksonville to Illinois, and planned to stop for the night north of Atlanta. We decided it was worth stopping early and going over to Roswell to try the Outback. There are sevearal hotels at the interstate exit nearest Roswell, and they are just a few miles away from the restaurant. We did a takeout, and the food (3 different meals plus a bloomin' onion) were all excellent!! Now how do we get more restaurants to offer gluten-free foods of this quality?

I wonder if they will adopt this elsewhere?

FYI we got the Bloomin' onion recipe off the web and substituted Besan Flour for Wheat flour, tastes exactly the same if you want to make it at home.

There are several chains that offer gluten-free menus in Atlanta and also in their other locations. They are Outback, Carrabbas, and Cheeseburger in Paradise. The Olive Garden also has a gluten free menu, including pasta, but you have to be careful that your server makes a big point of the meal being gluten free so you don't get the regular pasta by mistake. It is obviously different in appearance though.

Other restaurants are offering gluten free choices too and many have made it to the GIG website for the Atlanta area.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
