The Texas Roadhouse allergen menu is a published allergen guide covering the nine major allergens: milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish and sesame. There are no dedicated allergen-free fryers or prep areas, so cross-contact is possible on any item.
What is the Texas Roadhouse allergen menu?
It is an allergen reference chart, not a separate menu you order from. Texas Roadhouse publishes allergen information for its menu items on its own website, and locations can pull up or print the current version for guests who ask a server or manager.
Two things matter more than the chart itself. First, it tells you which allergens are in the recipe, not what happens in a busy shared kitchen. Second, recipes and suppliers change, so a screenshot someone posted on a forum two years ago is not a reliable document. Ask for the current guide in the restaurant on the day you eat.
This site is an independent guide. We do not host the official allergen PDF and we are not affiliated with Texas Roadhouse; the authoritative version lives on texasroadhouse.com.
Which allergens does Texas Roadhouse list?
The published allergen information covers the nine major allergens recognized in US labeling: milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish and sesame. The table below shows where each one commonly turns up on this menu so you know what to scan for.
| Allergen | Commonly appears in | Usually clear of it |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | Rolls, cinnamon butter, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cheese fries, loaded sides, most desserts, buttered vegetables | Plain-grilled steak (no butter), plain baked potato dry |
| Egg | Rolls, breading on fried items, some dressings and desserts | Grilled meats, plain steamed vegetables |
| Wheat | Rolls, Cactus Blossom, Chicken Critters, country fried items, croutons | Steaks, grilled chicken, salmon, baked potato, green beans |
| Soy | Fryer oil, marinades, sauces, dressings, seasoning blends | Hard to avoid entirely; ask the manager |
| Peanut | In-shell peanuts where still served, peanut oil in some kitchens | Varies by location; confirm on site |
| Tree nut | Select desserts and toppings | Most core entrees |
| Fish | Fried catfish, grilled salmon, Caesar dressing (anchovy) | Steaks, chicken, pork |
| Shellfish | Grilled shrimp, steak-and-shrimp combos | Non-combo entrees, but shared grill space applies |
| Sesame | Select breads and sauces | Plain grilled proteins |
One item worth flagging: the steak seasoning blend contains several ingredients. If you are avoiding anything specific, order the steak with no seasoning rather than trying to reverse-engineer the blend.
How do you use the Texas Roadhouse allergy menu when you order?
Tell your server about the allergy before you order anything, then ask for the manager. At most locations a manager handles allergy tickets personally, walks the order through the kitchen and can tell you what the fryers and grill are shared with that night.
A script that works:
- State the allergen by name and say whether it is severe. “Dairy intolerance” and “anaphylactic milk allergy” get handled differently.
- Ask for the in-store allergen guide rather than relying on a printout you found online.
- Order plain: no seasoning, no butter finish, no bread on the plate, dressing on the side.
- Ask the rolls to stay off your table entirely if wheat, dairy or egg is the issue. They arrive automatically and shed crumbs.
- Skip anything fried. There is one fryer system, and it handles breaded chicken, catfish, fries and the Cactus Blossom.
Off-peak visits genuinely help. A 4:30pm Tuesday kitchen has more room to clean a section of grill than a 7pm Saturday one.
What can you eat dairy free at Texas Roadhouse?
Dairy free is workable here because the core menu is grilled protein plus plain sides, but butter is the default finish on a lot of items. You have to ask for it to be left off, item by item. Below are dishes that can usually be built dairy free on request, with the calorie figures we have verified.
| Item | Calories | Price | How to order dairy free |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 6 oz | 250 | $16.99 | No butter finish; ask about seasoning |
| Herb Crusted Chicken | 260 | $18.49 | Confirm the herb crust and any glaze |
| Dallas Filet 6 oz | 270 | $26.99 | Plain, no butter |
| Grilled BBQ Chicken | 300 | $16.99 | Sauce on the side, verify sauce |
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 8 oz | 340 | $18.99 | No butter finish |
| Grilled Salmon 5 oz | 410 | $15.99 | Plain grilled, no butter |
| Grilled Pork Chops (single) | 440 | $15.99 | No butter, check glaze |
| Grilled Salmon 8 oz | 560 | $21.99 | Plain grilled, no butter |
| New York Strip 12 oz | 640 | $22.99 | No butter finish |
| Grilled Shrimp | 670 | $17.49 | Usually butter-basted; ask for plain |
| Sides (green beans, baked potato, house salad) | ~120-500 | $2.99 | Dry potato, no cheese/sour cream, no butter finish |
What to avoid outright if you are dairy free: the rolls and cinnamon butter (roughly 230 calories per roll plain, 300 to 330 with butter), mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cheese fries, loaded anything, and every dessert on the board. Also ask how the green beans are prepared. Many locations cook them with pork, and butter is common.
Where does cross-contact actually happen?
There are no dedicated allergen-free fryers, grills, cutting boards or prep areas. That is the single most important sentence on this page. Cross-contact is possible on every item, including ones the allergen chart shows as free of your allergen.
The realistic hot spots are the shared fryer basket oil, the flat-top and grill surface where buttered and seasoned items sit next to plain ones, tongs and spatulas moving between stations, the roll basket and crumbs on tables and hands, and the salad station where croutons and shredded cheese live. If your allergy is severe, no ordering trick eliminates that risk. Decide accordingly, and if you carry epinephrine, have it with you.
If you have a medical dietary requirement such as celiac disease or a diagnosed anaphylactic allergy, confirm details with the restaurant management on the day and with your own clinician. This page is a consumer guide, not medical advice.
What about peanuts and tree nuts?
Texas Roadhouse historically served free in-shell peanuts and let guests drop shells on the floor. The chain has phased out free peanuts at most locations, citing allergy safety and cost, but some stores still serve them. It varies, and peanut oil or peanut-containing products may still be present in the kitchen regardless.
So do not assume a location is peanut free because a news story said the practice ended. Call the specific restaurant before you go, ask whether peanuts are served in the dining room, and tell staff about a peanut allergy on arrival even if you see no peanuts on the floor.
Is there an updated allergen menu for 2025 and 2026?
The allergen guide is maintained on the official Texas Roadhouse site and updated as recipes and suppliers change, so there is no single fixed “2025 allergen menu” version to download and keep. Whatever is on the official site today supersedes any older copy circulating online.
Two things have shifted allergen disclosure recently. Sesame became a recognized major allergen in US labeling, which is why it now appears alongside the traditional eight. Separately, California has adopted allergen-disclosure requirements that push chains toward listing major allergens in plain language directly on menus, with phased effective dates. If you are eating in California, your menu may look different from one in another state. Check the current rules with the restaurant or your state authority rather than trusting a summary, including ours.
How accurate is this page?
Calorie and price figures here come from Texas Roadhouse menu and nutrition data we verified in July 2026. Chain restaurants of this size are required to post calorie information, which makes the entree numbers reasonably stable, but they are laboratory averages for a standard preparation. Your plate varies with trim, cook, butter finish and portion drift.
Allergen placement in our table reflects typical recipes and normal kitchen practice, not a copy of the official chart. Sides in particular differ by location: green beans, vegetables and potatoes are frequently finished with butter or cooked with pork depending on the store. Where we are not certain, we have said “ask” instead of guessing.
We do not claim any item is safe for a severe allergy, and no independent site can. Last verified July 2026.
Allergen menu FAQ
Does Texas Roadhouse have an allergen menu?
Yes. Texas Roadhouse publishes allergen information covering milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish and sesame. It is a reference chart rather than a separate menu, and staff can provide the current version in the restaurant.
Is Texas Roadhouse safe for food allergies?
There are no dedicated allergen-free fryers or prep areas, so cross-contact is possible on any item. Many guests with mild allergies order successfully by informing the server and manager, but no dish can be called safe for a severe allergy.
What is dairy free at Texas Roadhouse?
Plain grilled steaks, grilled chicken, grilled salmon and pork chops ordered without a butter finish, plus a dry baked potato and a house salad without cheese. Rolls, cinnamon butter, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and all desserts contain dairy.
Do Texas Roadhouse rolls contain allergens?
Yes. The rolls are a white-flour yeast bread containing wheat, dairy and egg, and the cinnamon butter served with them contains dairy. Ask for the roll basket to be kept off your table if any of those are an issue.
Does Texas Roadhouse still serve peanuts?
Most locations have phased out free in-shell peanuts, but some still serve them and peanut products may remain in the kitchen. Practice varies by store, so call your specific restaurant and tell staff about a peanut allergy regardless.
Are the fries and fried items cooked in a shared fryer?
Yes. Fries, breaded chicken, catfish and the Cactus Blossom share fryer oil, so fried items carry wheat and other cross-contact risk even when the item itself does not list your allergen.
How do I ask about allergens at Texas Roadhouse?
Tell your server the allergen by name before ordering, ask for the manager, request the current in-store allergen guide, and order plain: no seasoning, no butter finish, no bread, dressing on the side.
Does the steak seasoning contain allergens?
The seasoning blend contains multiple ingredients, so if you are avoiding anything specific, ask for the steak cooked with no seasoning rather than trying to work out what is in the blend.
