Texas Roadhouse

I always stay leery of chain restaurants but thought I’d give this a try. I ordered a sirloin with a plain baked potato. I specifically asked for no seasoning on the steak and nothing on the potato to stay safe. Even clarified that I had celiac and asked if they could cook it in a different area. Was assured they would take care of it. When our food came out, I had loaded mashed potatoes on my plate (my husbands side) and my husband got my plain baked. Except it was only plain because they clearly scraped off the cheese and bacon (you could see some left behind). I sent everything back and ended up eating just a baked potato. The manger was very friendly and gave us a gift certificate for two free meals next time we dine there. Which, we likely won’t.

I love Texas Roadhouse, but after being diagnosed with celiac, I’ve gone there 3 times and have gotten sick each time after choosing food strictly from there GF menu, and telling them I had a gluten allergy. Depends how strict you are and how sick you get but I wouldn’t recommend going there unfortunately. So i’m unsure how hard they’re trying to take the necessary precautions or there’s just too much cross contamination.

They have a GF menu. It’s small but they have more that just a few items to choose from unlike most places. I usually have the salmon, veggies and a salad. I dislike that their butter had gluten in it. Because it would allow for more items to be on this list without it. I am satisfied with the overall experience. They were extremely sweet and accommodating. I don’t have celiac but I do have a gluten allergy. I don’t eat anything with gluten in it anymore so I don’t ask for precautionary measures to be taken. That you would have to look more into.

Small GF menu, but my steak and vegetable choice was expertly cooked and delicious. Explained to our server, Brady, that I'm Celiac and he took very good care of me and made sure everything was safe. The manager came by several times, too. If they get more folks coming in who must eat GF perhaps they will increase the number of GF choices they offer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered pick up from the gluten free menu. Steak, baked potato, and steamed broccoli. No extras since I was picking up and could add my own toppings at home. Everything was delicious and I did not have any reactions.

Very few options that would be safe. Their seasoning is not gluten free and they put it on EVERYTHING! My Celiac daughter wanted corn, couldn’t have it….baked potato? Nope, they cover the outside with bacon grease and seasoning. After a lot of discussion we ended up with a steak with no seasoning and a side of broccoli.

Yes, this is a chain, and has been safe go-to if available during our roadtrips. This location is near our home-base. They do have GF options on their website. My husband likes it there bc there are more GF options to choose from for sides. So far no reactions (knock on wood). Aside from most of the steak options, the ribs (bbq sauce or rub) have been alright for him.

Perks for me: the warm rolls with cinnamon butter, not to rub it in :)

Went to this Texas Roadhouse for a birthday dinner. They have a gluten friendly menu. I stressed to the waiter that I needed to eat gluten free. I had a NY Strip Steak with baked potato and a house salad. I ordered the house salad without croutons. The waiter seemed familiar with gluten friendly options but the kitchen gave me a salad with croutons anyway. Steak was cooked to order and was good.

Staff wasn't friendly about it but they do have a gf menu if you ask. The food was good, but not many options. Pretty basic meat, rice, veggie, salad.
