Texas Roadhouse gluten free menu does not exist as a separate certified menu. Many items are gluten free by ingredient, including hand-cut steaks, grilled chicken, salmon and baked potatoes, but there is no dedicated gluten-free fryer or prep area, so cross-contact is possible.
Does Texas Roadhouse have a gluten free menu?
No. Texas Roadhouse does not print a certified gluten-free menu or offer a gluten-free kitchen. What it does publish is allergen information covering wheat and the other major allergens, which you can use to build a meal from items that contain no gluten ingredients.
That distinction matters more than most menu roundups admit. “Gluten free by ingredient” means the recipe as written contains no wheat, barley or rye. It says nothing about the grill surface, the shared fryer oil, the prep counter where rolls are handled, or the tongs a busy line cook reaches for. Texas Roadhouse runs one kitchen with shared equipment. There is no allergen-free fryer and no segregated prep area, so trace gluten can reach any plate.
Searches for a “Texas Roadhouse gluten free menu 2023” or a downloadable gluten-free PDF turn up third-party lists, not an official document. The only first-party source is the allergen guide on texasroadhouse.com, which the chain updates as recipes change. We link to it rather than reproduce it, because a stale copy of allergen data is worse than none.
Does Texas Roadhouse have gluten free options?
Yes, quite a few. Steaks ordered without seasoning, grilled chicken, grilled salmon and shrimp, plain baked and sweet potatoes, green beans and a house salad with no croutons all avoid gluten ingredients. The table below pairs each with its verified calorie count.
| Item | Calories | Menu price | How to order it |

Calorie figures above come from published chain data for the entree alone. Side calories are not individually published in the data we verified, so treat them as roughly 120 to 500 depending on the side and any butter finish, and check the official nutrition guide for exact numbers.
The steak seasoning is the single most common trip-up. It is a blend, and blends change. If you are avoiding gluten strictly, order the steak plain and add salt and pepper at the table. A 6 oz sirloin at 250 calories plain is one of the cleanest orders on the menu in both senses.
Does Texas Roadhouse have gluten free rolls or bread?
No. Texas Roadhouse rolls are white-flour yeast bread containing wheat, dairy and egg, and there is no gluten-free roll, bun or bread substitute. The chain has not introduced a gluten-free bread product at company locations as of July 2026.
The cinnamon butter itself contains no gluten ingredients, but it arrives in a ramekin next to the rolls and gets spread with the same knives, so anyone reacting to trace amounts should skip it. If your table is sharing a roll basket, ask your server to keep it at the far end or leave it off entirely. Loose flour and roll crumbs travel further than people expect on a table that turns over every forty minutes.
There is also no gluten-free bun for kids’ items or sandwiches. If a bun is central to the order, plan on a plated entree instead.
Are Texas Roadhouse fries gluten free?
Not in practice. The potato itself contains no gluten ingredients, but the fries cook in a shared fryer alongside breaded items like Chicken Critters, country fried entrees and the Cactus Blossom. That shared oil carries gluten, so fries should be treated as off-limits.
This is the answer that surprises people most, because fries look like the obvious safe side. The same logic rules out every fried item on the menu regardless of its own batter. Swap to a plain baked potato, sweet potato, green beans, applesauce or a salad without croutons. All are $2.99 as sides and none touch the fryer.
What should you avoid if you eat gluten free?
The clear no-list is short and mostly predictable: anything breaded, anything from the fryer, anything served on or with bread, and the rolls. Here is the practical version, with calorie counts where they are published, so you can see what you are actually skipping.
| Avoid | Calories | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Rolls with cinnamon butter | ~300–330 each | Wheat flour bread |
| Cactus Blossom | 2,250 | Battered and deep fried |
| Chicken Critters | 480 | Breaded, shared fryer |
| Country Fried Chicken | 780 | Breaded and gravy-topped |
| Country Fried Sirloin | 1,180 | Breaded and gravy-topped |
| Fried Catfish, 3-piece | 990 | Breaded, shared fryer |
| Cheese Fries | 1,240 | Shared fryer |
| Tater Skins | 1,320 | Shared fryer |
| Fried Pickles | 550 | Battered, shared fryer |
| Twisted Mozzarella | 710 | Breaded, shared fryer |
| Mac & Cheese (kids) | 280 | Wheat pasta |
| Granny’s Apple Classic | 1,110 | Pastry crust |
| Big Ol’ Brownie | 1,290 | Wheat flour |
Gravies, soups, marinades and some sauces are the quieter risks. If a dish arrives smothered, sauced or glazed, ask what is in it rather than assuming. Desserts are effectively out; the published dessert lineup is flour-based across the board.
How do you order gluten free at Texas Roadhouse?
Tell your server at the very start of the order, before drinks, and ask them to flag it to a manager. Request the in-store allergen guide, order proteins plain and unseasoned, skip the fryer entirely, and ask that the roll basket stay off your side of the table.
A few things that make a real difference in a steakhouse kitchen:
- Say the word “allergy” if it applies. Kitchens route allergy tickets differently from preference tickets. “No gluten please” and “wheat allergy” do not get the same handling.
- Ask for a clean grill area or a fresh pan. They cannot guarantee an isolated surface, but the request often gets you a cleaned section rather than the same spot a marinated item just left.
- Order the potato plain and dress it yourself. Toppings get assembled on a shared line.
- Go off-peak. A Tuesday at 5pm gives the kitchen room to accommodate a special ticket that a Saturday 7pm rush does not.
- Re-check on repeat visits. Recipes and suppliers change, and what was clean last year may not be now.
Is Texas Roadhouse workable if you have celiac disease?
It depends on your tolerance for risk, and only you and your clinician can set that line. Because there are no dedicated allergen-free fryers or prep areas, Texas Roadhouse cannot guarantee any dish is free of trace gluten, and no item here should be described as safe for celiac disease.
Plenty of people with celiac eat at Texas Roadhouse without incident by ordering a plain steak and a plain baked potato and being direct with staff. Others react to trace exposure and avoid shared kitchens entirely. This page is a menu guide, not medical or dietary advice; if you have a medical dietary requirement, confirm the current details with the restaurant and with your own clinician.
How accurate are these figures?
Calorie counts on this page come from published chain nutrition data for standard portions and were verified in July 2026. Prices are typical US menu prices and vary by market. Ingredient status reflects recipes as published, not the conditions in any individual kitchen.
Three reasons the numbers on your plate may differ. First, portioning: hand-cut steaks are cut in-house and vary by an ounce either way. Second, preparation: butter finishes, seasoning and sauces are added by hand and are often the difference between a 250-calorie sirloin and something noticeably higher. Third, regional and supplier variation, which affects both nutrition and allergen status. Chain restaurants of this size are required to print calorie information on menus, so the in-store menu board is your most current reference for calories.
On allergens specifically, we do not host or mirror the official allergen guide. Formulations change and a cached copy would eventually be wrong in a way that matters. Check the current guide on texasroadhouse.com and ask in-store. Cross-contact is possible on every item on this menu, including the ones listed as gluten free by ingredient.

Gluten free FAQs
What is gluten free at Texas Roadhouse?
By ingredient: hand-cut steaks ordered unseasoned, grilled chicken, grilled salmon and shrimp, plain baked and sweet potatoes, green beans, applesauce and a house salad without croutons. None of these are prepared in a dedicated gluten-free area, so cross-contact is possible.
Is Texas Roadhouse gluten free?
No. It is a shared kitchen with no gluten-free fryer or prep area and no certified gluten-free menu. Individual items can be free of gluten ingredients, but the restaurant cannot guarantee any dish is free of trace gluten.
Does Texas Roadhouse have gluten free options?
Yes, mainly plain grilled proteins and simple sides. A 6 oz sirloin (250 calories, $16.99) with a plain baked potato and green beans is the standard order. Ask for no steak seasoning and skip anything fried.
Does Texas Roadhouse have a gluten free menu?
There is no separate gluten-free menu or gluten-free PDF. Texas Roadhouse publishes allergen information covering wheat and other major allergens on its official site, and stores can provide the current guide on request.
Are Texas Roadhouse rolls gluten free?
No. The rolls are white-flour yeast bread containing wheat, dairy and egg, at roughly 230 calories each plain. The cinnamon butter has no gluten ingredients but is served alongside the rolls and shares utensils.
Does Texas Roadhouse have gluten free buns?
No gluten-free bun or bread substitute is offered. If a bun matters to the order, choose a plated entree such as a steak, grilled chicken or salmon with plain sides instead.
Does Texas Roadhouse have gluten free bread?
No. There is no gluten-free bread product on the menu. The only bread served is the standard wheat-flour roll, and it is baked in the same kitchen as everything else.
Are the fries at Texas Roadhouse gluten free?
Not reliably. The potatoes contain no gluten, but the fryer is shared with breaded items such as Chicken Critters and the Cactus Blossom, so the oil carries gluten. A plain baked potato is the safer swap.
