Texas Roadhouse Gluten-Free & Allergen Menu

Gluten-Free Options at Texas Roadhouse

These items are usually made without gluten ingredients, but recipes and suppliers change, so check the current official allergen guide and tell your server:

TypeGluten-friendly choices
SteaksSirloin, New York Strip, Ribeye, Filet, Porterhouse, ask about the seasoning
Chicken & fishGrilled chicken (no breading), Grilled Salmon, grilled shrimp
SidesBaked potato, sweet potato, green beans, steamed vegetables, steamed broccoli, applesauce, seasoned corn
SaladsHouse salad without croutons, with a gluten-free dressing

Avoid: rolls, anything breaded or fried (Chicken Critters, Fried Pickles, Cactus Blossom, Country Fried Sirloin), gravies, pasta and most desserts. Fried foods share fryers, so cross-contact is likely.

Is Texas Roadhouse Safe for Celiac Disease?

Texas Roadhouse kitchens are not gluten-free environments. Grills, fryers and prep areas are shared, so people with celiac disease should speak with the manager, ask for the official allergen guide, and order simple grilled items with plain sides. Many guests ask for their steak cooked on a clean part of the grill with no seasoning or butter.

Peanut and Tree Nut Allergies

Texas Roadhouse is known for free peanuts. Many restaurants now serve them in bags instead of open buckets, and shells are no longer thrown on the floor, but peanuts are still in the dining room, so people with severe peanut allergies should be careful. Read more in Texas Roadhouse peanuts.

Vegetarian and Vegan Options

Vegetarian: the Country Vegetable Plate (pick four sides), house salad, baked or sweet potato, mac & cheese, Fried Pickles, Cactus Blossom and Twisted Mozzarella.

Vegan: options are limited. A plain baked potato, steamed vegetables, steamed broccoli, applesauce and a house salad without cheese, egg or croutons with oil and vinegar are the safest picks. Green beans are cooked with bacon and the rolls contain dairy and egg, so they are not vegan.

Dairy, Egg, Soy and Shellfish
