Gluten Free at LongHorn Steakhouse

We asked for the GF menu at the front desk and the manager was able to explain how the allergy book worked, so I was able to look at what items I was able to eat. We had Zena as our waitress and she understood what my husband and I were in need of. I was able to have a steak, the rice and a salad with no issues. It was delicious.

The service was ok. The food tasted great! However my wife who has Celiac got sick shortly after. It says on their menu that they can't guarantee no cross contamination. I would not suggest this restaurant to anyone who has Celiac.

I've been a couple of times and the staff is careful to ask management and kitchen about any questions I have. You can have basics like steak and shrimp. I was especially excited that I could have soup so I didn't feel left out when people at my table ate bread and appetizers.

Ordered chopped steak with onions off GF menu. Supposed to come with a garlic herb sauce but it looked like gravy. I specifically questioned the waiter about the gravy and he went and got someone from kitchen who said if it’s on GF menu then it’s GF 🙄. My daughter had symptoms after eating. I should have stuck with my gut feeling.

While on vacation my husband and I didn't eat out but once since I'm afraid of being glutened. After looking at many menus online we decided on Longhorn Steakhouse to go. They have a really nice selection of gluten free menu items and took great care in making sure that my allergy was noted. It was on the order receipt and hand written in large letters, NO BREAD OR GLUTEN TO TOUCH THIS ORDER. It was also printed on my dinner box, ALLERGEN CUSTOMER: GLUTEN. The food was beyond delicious and could tell they took care with my meal. No sickness whatsoever! I highly recommend and will dine with them again next time we visit!

Waitress was also gluten free and went to the kitchen to ensure my food was prepared correctly. Food wasn’t great, but it’s only the 3rd day they’re open to dining since the COVID lockdown. Happy didn’t have to cook and didn’t get sick.

We ordered takeout for my celiac daughter while on vacation. She got the kids meal with steak, seasoned rice and pineapple juice. She loved it and no reaction! Even though they specify that these items are gluten free, I still made a note on her specific meal when I ordered. Thank you Longhorns!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server has a sibling with Celiac. I ordered the 7 pepper salad and specified no croutons and mix in a separate bowl (as per Longhorn website instructions). Salad came out covered in croutons. Server stated she rang it in correctly. No confidence at all in the kitchen staff. Manager was not even apologetic.

I no longer will visit here after this mistake.

Kitchen staff is not trained at all.

Went to this Longhorn with a friend the other day. They have a gluten free menu with intricate allergy detail on the pages after the menu. I asked to speak to the manager and informed him of my condition and asked that he make sure the chefs change gloves, use new utensils, etc... after I explained my condition the manager assured me my food would be safe, as he was going to cook it himself to ensure my safety. I had a grilled chicken sandwich (without the bun of course) broccoli (no butter sauce because it has bread crumbs) and a sweet potato.

It is now the next day and I feel perfectly fine. I also used to work at this longhorn and we always did our best to ensure the happiness and safety of our guests.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu with allergen info was offered. Server was helpful and made sure my meal was flagged for the kitchen. Perfect meal of steak, potato, and salad!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly about my gluten allergy (super sensitive), we didn’t experience a single problem throughout our entire meal. She left croutons off the salad without being asked and preemptively said she’d put a “gluten allergy” note on our meal, which was evidenced in the bill. We don’t eat out often, so this was a lovely Valentine’s dinner for us on 2/16. Only 4/5 stars because the appetizer was super greasy and almost inedible.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My boyfriend is celiac and ordered the strip steak, sweet potato and salad without croutons. He did not get sick but our steaks were cold.

They have a gluten free menu that also includes other allergies. The waitress was very helpful and I had the strawberry chicken salad. It was very good.

I usually have good luck at any Longhorn that I go to and I did this time as well. It does frustrate me that they do not have gluten-free markings on the menu or on a separate gluten-free menu. If you’ve ever been given their book of allergy information to look up all those things yourself you’ll be annoyed too.

Prime rib is excellent. Tried other places, but Longhorn really tops it off with this and of course a longpour drink.

They do not have many options, sadly. The only things that Are gluten free are the steaks and the salads without croutons.

It is so good . I love it so much and my sister who is Gluten Sensitive loves it to

Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, but not indicated on menu. All steaks & corresponding seasonings are gluten-free. Lots of gluten-free side dish items including salads, broccoli, baked & sweet potatoes. Have gluten-free Lea & Perrin Worcestershire Sauce. Unsure about cross-contamination, but for non-celiac, good option!

They will give you a gluten free menu here if you request it. One of the few restaurants that have a list of ingredients in food. If you have any questions, the manager will answer them. Always a pleasure to eat here! They always give us extras!

They had amazing French fries there and the food was delicious! The staff was very good about my allergies. They don’t have any gluten free buns though, which is the only downside.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had an allergy menu with a specific page that listed gluten free options and how to order them. I got the Parmesan crusted chicken without the breadcrumbs with mashed potatoes and broccoli as sides. My waiter was very respectful of my allergy and let me know my food was prepared separately.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff listened as I told them I was allergic to gluten, meal still came out wrong. After another plate came that was supposed to be correct I ate it and still ended up very ill afterwards. Do not recommend if you get sick from gluten!!

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter and I are here. Cesar salad no croutons, filet, mashed and baked potato. All great and no reactions!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Longhorn has a great menu for GF. They had no problem getting the GF menu. They had many options. Our waiter Kevin was great. I highly recommend Longhorn.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My server Hannah was very knowledgeable about celiac disease. Their gluten sensitive menu has some discrepancies on it and some recommendations that seem risky. But, my server spoke with the manager to make sure my order would be safe. She recommended that I leave off the dry seasoning because they could not guarantee what was in it. My meal was great and I feel fine so far.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress listened to me about my gluten free allergy but I don’t think she was that attentive. Did not get sick, but would not feel comfortable going there again.

They have a “guide” to help you. Waitstaff have absolutely no clue! The waitress was so rude!

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered a ribeye, sweet potato and steamed broccoli. My plate came out with a piece of cheddar cheese and a piece of white rice on the plate. I used my Nima to test the food, and it indicated gluten free. I ate all but where the cheese and rice were touching the steak. I talked to the manager about finding those items on my plate after I had discussed food allergies and gluten issues with the waitress. I told him he needs to work on more training with the staff, as someone with food issues should never find those random things on their plate. However, I did not have any issues after eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the potato soup, a filet mignon and asparagus. All were delicious and I had no issues. I’m Celiac and very sensitive.

The waitress was knowledgeable and helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff. Extensive allergen supplement to their menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Allergen menu is clearly written, but there weren’t many options. Also the service is slow. Not a bad meal but this location seems poorly managed.

Be careful eating here! Went after the dinner rush on a Tuesday evening, not too busy. Advised server of gluten allergy/sensitivity and she said no problem and got me the gf/allergy menu. Ordered the sirloin and grilled shrimp, plain sweet potato and a cup of the shrimp and lobster chowder, all are listed as gluten free. She even wrote gluten allergy on the order pad. Everything tasted great, steak cooked perfectly but on my drive back to the hotel only 12 minutes away I started to feel sick to my stomach and itchy welts appearing.

I’ve eaten here several times. The food is great and the waiters caring. I’ve never gotten sick. I get the New York strip, baked potato with butter, sour cream, and the side salad no croutons or cheese. It’s great! I order steak medium because their medium rare is more rare than usual. I have celiac, no reaction

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I get sick every time I eat here. I ordered the parmesan chicken with no breadcrumbs and told them it was a gluten allergy and I was still sick after. It was absolutely delicious but the same thing has happened twice

They have a list; but every time I’ve eaten there I’ve gotten sick. Maybe a spice or marinade / cross contamination. Not recommended for celiacs

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was meh felt sick after staff acted as if they New what celiac disease was 😕

Very disappointed as the reviews were high. The hostess was very clueless gave me big book of nutritional info never told me last page was menu. Cause I must be the only person that’s come in with gluten allergy. Waitress was very rude kept argue about what I could have but was different than what was on gluten menu. Never told me their was an up charge to a salad that was on the gluten menu that had my choices I was to choose from. My husbands steak was burnt like really really burnt. And their was no sorry no discount nothing. And when I asked about up price I got a lesson on how expensive strawberries and pecans are. Will not be back ever felt like my allergy was an inconvenience been a long time since I’ve had this bad of service and treated this bad. And honestly steak was terrible and baked potato was cold

It took the staff ~15 minutes to find their allergen menu. Then the waitress didn’t seem like she cared about being careful with the order at all. We had to confirm that she heard and understood there was a wheat “allergy” (easier than explaining celiac). I got a steak, the mushrooms and onions, and broccoli. Steak was fine, the mushrooms were delicious. Broccoli was mushy, bland and over cooked. I was sick the next few days after eating out here, so I suspect it was cross contaminated in the kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

No

Dine here quite often. Always good food and knowledgeable staff. They have even informed me that I shouldn’t have some things that would seem safe if I’m celiac. Highly recommended it.

Staff did not seem very familiar with gluten free options

They have an extensive allergen menu. But my waitress did not even attempt to accommodate me. Home girl legitimately rolled her eyes at me when I was trying to ask her questions about menu items to make sure they were safe for me. Not to mention I waited 20 minutes and couldn’t even get my salad brought out to me so I could eat something while my boyfriend was eating bread and soup. Won’t be back.
