This was my second visit here since my celiac diagnosis. I ordered the grilled shrimp both times. The first visit a manager came out and explained their process and asked if that would be acceptable. It included using a pan instead of placing on the grill to avoid cross contamination. Also, she said the seasoning would not be used as it was not gluten free, but I would be provided with some garlic butter to dip them in. All was good. The second visit was for my daughter's birthday and it was a horrible experience. I ordered the exact same meal and explained my needs. The waitress had no education on food allergies. I explained THEIR process to her, including no seasoning, no rice, and cooked on pan instead of grill (as explained by the previous manager) and asked that the kitchen be told this was a true gluten allergy. The shrimp came out covered in the seasoning. When I questioned the guy serving the food, the waitress interrupted letting me know she spoke to a manager and they don't cook things any different for gluten allergies and they just consider it "gluten friendly." Unacceptable! After explaining the situation again, she said she would have it cooked again without the seasoning. After everyone was done eating, I still hadn't received my food. Asked the waitress to put it in a to go box when they did have it ready and it was another 15 minutes before it came. We had even paid already! I was starving so I ate the food on the way home, but I may pay for it later. I have zero confidence in the way it was prepared. Go elsewhere!

This was probably the best GF meal I’ve ever had at a restaurant! I asked for GF menu, our waitress had one with her. I ordered the Steak Kabob with no rice. Mashed potatoes with no gravy and a side salad with oil and vinegar no croutons. They brought out the salad with a small container of oil and another small container of red wine vinegar so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. I really appreciate that! Then the Kabobs and mashed potatoes came out… absolutely fabulous! I was so shocked. Will be adding Texas Roadhouse to my favorites list ❤

Texas Roadhouse is usually a good chain for gluten free. This was not my vest experience with them. I ordered my food with allergy prep. When my steak come out, it had a stray piece of a not-gluten-free topping mixed in, which was highly concerning. They remade my steak and the manager brought it out. Granted, it was extremely busy and I was with a large party. In the end, I did not get sick. This is probably a decent stop for GF, especially considering there didn't seem to be much else in the area. This was an obligatory dinner stop on a road trip.

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 :)
