Amazing food, neat decor, great staff, & is a very clean establishment. This is a must stop for people with Celiac &/or require a gluten free diet. GF options were plentiful and clearly labeled on the main menu in green. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac & said many come in regularly. They modified their 'Shame Bowl' to be GF subbing the gravy for cheese. (Basically a better version of the KFC bowl.)
I absolutely loved that all the decor was of local people, people that worked there, etc. It has a cozy, southern feel with so much to look at!
We have visited many times over the years but wanted to share high praise for a recent experience. We brought visitors from out of town to dine at the Ellisville location because two members of our party of eight have Celiac Disease (total gluten intolerance). The Gluten Free menu was a big draw and did not disappoint. All the GF food was clearly marked when it came to the table. The GF diners loved the food and had no issues after dining here. Our server was attentive and even graciously assisted when a child spilled his milk. Our guests can't wait to come back and dine here again.
Our server/bartender Greg was great! He expertly advised us on food and drinks. He even caught that we were brought the wrong pizza before we had a chance to eat it. Super friendly even when balancing multiple tables. And of course the food is always delicious. Love the gluten free options.
My family decided to give this place a chance even though we are vegan and gluten free. The wait was 2+ hours to be seated. When we were seated our table wasn't clean, it was caked with sauces and stuff. I cleaned our table and chairs and the cloth was nasty. We were hungry so we stayed, but we didn't get our food for another 1.5 hours. Luckily there was a bean bag toss to keep the kids (and let's be honest adults) busy. They ran out of crayons and coloring paper.
When the food finally came out, they had cross contaminated the vegan gluten free pizza with the non vegan pizza and my daughter and I got really sick.
Needless to say, if you have food allergies, don't go there. We learned our lesson the hard way.
Waiter was extremely friendly and helpful when we had questions. I was so excited to order gluten free pancakes (gluten sensitive)- I’ve never seen them anywhere! They were SO good and I was amazed they didn’t have gluten. It’s not often you find gluten-free food that is fluffy and not dry! If we are ever in the area again we will be stopping by.
Traveling through Springfield - an app for those with celiac led us here. This was one of my favorite meals on our trip! Great atmosphere and service - the sage & mushroom soup was delicious as well as the cod which was wonderful (and I don't love fish!) My kids had gluten free meals which were also delicious! I'd definitely come back here anytime we're in the area! It was a great meal!
Delicious food, great service. It's a very casual atmosphere but very comfortable. They do offer a gluten free penne pasta option. Cheese tortellini with cream sauce was amazing and the cannoli very good. I'm definitely going back!
I was told the gluten free things were marked on the menu.. they were not, the only thing they have gluten free is bread, no pancakes. You would think you could get French toast since they have gluten free bread available, can’t get French toast with the gluten free bread because it is dipped in the same batter as regular bread. Altogether definitely a 1 in my book because when I want breakfast as a gluten free person on vacation, I want gluten free pancakes, French toast etc. not simply just toast. I couldn’t be more disappointed.
Stopped here for my lunch break. Not only is this location super cute but also has fast and friendly service. Drive thru was busy but the inside was cozy, bright and pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Perfect spot to read and enjoy some lunch! Plenty of healthy options to choose from including gluten free. The Mint Chip Energizer tastes EXACTLY like mint chip ice cream, but without the guilt!!! Delicious!! Sesame chicken salad was very fresh and tasty. H2O #5 was wonderfully refreshing during a long work day. This location will definitely be my go to place.
It's a great place to take friends and family and enjoy a few drinks, good food, and plenty of board games.
They have lots of vegan and gluten free dishes too.
It can get noisy so if you are easily affected by that in the long term, wearing something like loops will help.
Parking is kinda hit or miss, they are still attempting to get a permit for the lot across the street. For now parking is on surface streets.
The food was PERFECTLY cooked, and everything was delicious. The service was quick, friendly, and helpful. I need to eat gluten-free, so eating out can be frustrating. But not when you eat here! I had a question about a menu item, and when the waitress heard I needed to eat gluten-free, she said, “We actually have a gluten-free menu. Would it be helpful to see that?” YES! Thank you, Outback, for making it easier for your customers who are on restrictive diets to make informed choices as they order. I wish ALL restaurants were this helpful!
Celiac friendly
