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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
