No gluten free options are apparent on the menu. Nothing is labeled gluten free. I would not risk cross contamination as bread is served from the same kitchen as many of the meals.

They have a gluten-free menu with lots of options. For salad dressing the menu states oil and vinegar, but online if you look at their menu and click on the allergen information for ranch dressing it’s gluten-free. I ended up ordering the pork chops with a sweet potato and salad with ranch dressing and did fine. I did tell them I was celiac and the manager came over and told me that they would change their gloves and they would take care of me and I would be safe. On the menu it says the peppercorn sauce for the pork chop is not gluten-free so to leave it off. When they brought me my food the peppercorn sauce was on the side and it spilled onto my meal so they had to remake it. Because it took so long to get my second meal, I did not have to pay for my meal at all. I would definitely come back to eat here again as the food was very good and they attempted to make it right, which they did.
Amazing experience!! As soon as I told my server about my wheat allergy, she excused herself to go get the allergy menu. The ‘allergy menu’ was literally one of the managers with a handheld that had their menu with the option to modify it to. your. allergies!!!!!!! It brings up a list of only what you can eat, specified to your allergy(ies) they were very careful, respectful and kind about it. I had the filet, mashed potatoes and a salad. It was all amazing!! Fresh shredded cheese and boiled eggs, tomatoes, and purple cabbage on the super crisp with a yummy, house made ranch on a fresh bed of lettuce, the homestyle mashed potatoes had amazing flavor but the filet?!?! The filet was not only perfectly cooked and seasoned, it was the most tender steak I’ve ever had. It was so thick I had to cut it both with and against the grain and it was like cutting butter. Not a bit of a reaction. It’s a bit pricey but worth it. Only downer was there’s no GF desserts.
They did not have an in person allergen menu and instead at first tried to point out which appetizers would be gluten free. This felt unsafe and very guesswork-y to me. They eventually led me to their website that has a way to filter out food with allergens. This was a weird way to determine what was gluten free and gave me no idea of protocols or cross contamination. I had a sirloin, salad (no cruotons), and baked sweet potato and did not get glutened, but I was still uncomfortable with the process.
Celiac: I went here, they're able to change my dish to be gluten free. I thought it was delicious and felt good after! I got my steak without seasonings but i'm not sure if they're able to, I was just worried.
I personally have never had any issues with Texas Roadhouse up until this point! I’ve eaten there multiple times since my celiac diagnosis before Thanksgiving and I’ve never had any issues issue! About a week ago I ate at Texas Roadhouse with some friends! I ordered the same thing I always do off their gluten friendly menu and I ended up getting sick the next day! When I ordered I let the waitress know that I was gluten free and she advised me the cook will take it seriously (she said they’d switch gloves, get a new piece of chicken from the fridge and they’d clean the grill before cooking my food)! I’m not sure which part the cook didn’t do, but I ended up getting sick the next day! I personally am going to be very cautious the next time I eat here!
