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......

A gluten-free blogger wrote about this location - it is apparently just amazing. Janet, I'm so happy you were able to enjoy it.

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.

      My only proof

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @rei.b, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and Celiac Disease can occur together in genetically predisposed individuals.  Losing ones gallbladder is common with celiac disease. I'm glad Naltrexone is helping with your pain.  Naltrexone is known to suppress tTg IgA and tTg IgG production, so it's not surprising that only your DGP IgG and DGP IgA are high.   Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol diet designed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself?  The AIP diet helps lower inflammation and promotes intestinal healing.   The AIP diet is a Paleo diet that eliminates foods that can cause intestinal inflammation until you heal on the inside, then more foods can be added back in.  The low histamine AIP diet will help reduce inflammation further.   Histamine is released as part of the immune response in celiac disease.  Foods also contain various amounts of histamine or provoke histamine release.  Lowering the amount of histamine from foods helps.  The body, with help from B vitamins, can clear histamine, but if more histamine is consumed than can be cleared, you can stay in an inflammatory state for a long time. Cutting out high histamine foods is beneficial.  Omit night shades which contain alkaloids that add to leaky gut syndrome found with celiac disease.  Night shades include tomatoes, peppers including bell peppers, potatoes and eggplants.  Processed foods like sausages and gluten-free processed products are high in histamines.  All Grains are removed from the diet because they are inflammatory and provoke histamine release. Blood tests for deficiencies in B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels show a deficiency.  Blood levels do not accurately measure the quantity of B vitamins stored inside the cells where they are utilized.  The brain will order stored vitamins to be released from organs into the blood stream to keep the brain and heart supplied while deficiency occurs inside organs, like the gallbladder.  Gall bladder dysfunction is caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 and other B vitamins.   The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea and constipation, and the malabsorption and inflammation that occurs with celiac disease.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete any excess B vitamins in urine.  The best way to see if you are deficient is to take a B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and look for health improvements in the following weeks.  Most B Complex supplements contain Thiamine Mononitrate which is not bioavailable.  The body has a difficult time utilizing thiamine mononitrate because it doesn't break down easily.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Remember your intestines are in a damaged, permeable state.  Treat them tenderly, like you would a baby until they heal.  You wouldn't feed a baby spicy bell peppers and hard to digest corn and nuts.  Change your diet so your intestines can heal.   I use a combination of B12 Cobalamine, B 6 Pyridoxine, and B1 Benfotiamine for pain.  These three B vitamins have analgesic properties.  They relieve pain better than other otc pain relievers.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.
