Texas Roadhouse Gluten-Free Menu: Gluten-Friendly Guide
Texas Roadhouse Gluten-Free Menu: use the official gluten-friendly suggestions as a starting point, understand the required modifications, and account for cross-contact in a scratch-based kitchen.
First: this is gluten-friendly, not a gluten-free kitchen
This page summarizes the official suggestion sheet; it does not certify any item as medically safe for celiac disease or a food allergy. Ingredients, suppliers and kitchen procedures can change.

Items that need extra attention
Prime Rib is specifically excluded in the official sheet because its marinade is not gluten-friendly. Several sandwiches require removing the bun and fries. Salads require no croutons and oil-and-vinegar dressing in the published suggestions. Pork chops need the peppercorn sauce removed, steak kabob is listed without rice, and mashed potatoes are listed without gravy. These are preparation instructions, not a guarantee against cross-contact.
Fried foods, shared fryers, sauces, gravies, breads and breading deserve special confirmation. If your concern is a diagnosed allergy or celiac disease, communicate it directly to restaurant staff instead of relying on an online list alone.
Gluten-friendly FAQ
Does Texas Roadhouse have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen?
The official suggestion sheet warns that cross-contact can occur in its scratch-based concept, so the guide should not be read as a dedicated-kitchen guarantee.
Is Prime Rib on the gluten-friendly suggestion list?
No. The official PDF specifically says Prime Rib marinade is not gluten-friendly.
What should I do for a burger or sandwich?
The official suggestions list several burgers/sandwiches without buns and without fries; confirm current local preparation.
Can I rely on this page for a severe allergy?
No online guide can replace communication with the restaurant about current ingredients and cross-contact controls. Tell staff about the allergy before ordering.
How to place a gluten-friendly order step by step
Start by naming the exact entrée and the modification shown in the published suggestion sheet. Next, choose only sides that are on the suggestion list and apply the listed changes, such as mashed potatoes without gravy or a house salad without croutons with oil and vinegar. Then ask the restaurant to confirm the current ingredient and preparation information before the order is finalized.
Do not rebuild a gluten-friendly meal by assuming that “plain” automatically means suitable. Marinades, sauces, breading, seasoning blends and shared cooking equipment can matter. The Prime Rib note in the official document is a good example: it is a steak item, yet the published sheet excludes it because of the marinade. The safer research method is item-by-item verification rather than category assumptions.
Questions to ask the restaurant
- Is the current recipe for this exact item consistent with the published gluten-friendly suggestion?
- Can the listed modification be made today?
- How are shared fryers, grills, utensils and preparation surfaces handled?
- Have any sauces, marinades, side recipes or suppliers changed?
For current nutrient or allergen records, open the official-linked Nutrition & Allergens portal as a second check. The published gluten-friendly PDF is useful because it explains modifications and cross-contact, while the current portal is useful for checking today’s item data.
