What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Victoria’s Barrel-Cut Filet Mignon (gluten-free by ingredients)
- Outback Center-Cut Sirloin (gluten-free seasoning; no gluten in preparation)
- Ribeye (gluten-free)
- Melbourne Porterhouse (gluten-free)
- Chimichurri Filet (gluten-free sauce/prep)
- Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie (gluten-free when ordered without garlic toast)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant states it does not operate a dedicated gluten-free kitchen; foods may be prepared in shared cooking and preparation areas. This means cross-contact remains possible, even with a comprehensive gluten-friendly menu.
- While many diners report safe experiences, several accounts describe gluten exposures or symptoms after meals, often linked to high-traffic times or not strictly following gluten-free procedures.
- A recommended approach is to order off the gluten-free menu, inform staff of celiac needs, request fresh gloves and cleaned surfaces, and avoid high-risk items (breaded starters, shared fryers, etc.) when in doubt.
