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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
