Texas Roadhouse

[gabrielle]

I am going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner tonight for my friend's birthday and I wasn't sure if they had anything that was gluten-free on their menu or anything that would be safe. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you!

I found this website with menu options is it a good place to go?

they have some gluten free options...sadly the amazing rolls with the cinnamon butter are not on them, but i always get the salad sans crutons, oven roasted chicken and mashed potatoes...and it is a FANTASTIC meal

I always have the fillet, let the server know my food issues and order a salad, sans croutons, cheese, and dressing - with lemons on the side. I used to eat their green beans but they bother me now so hubby gets those. I didn't have a problem with them too much until bacon started to bother me.

We went to Texas Roadhouse this weekend and they let us know that they no longer have "Gluten Free" items because they were sued for never really having Gluten Free items!! They told us they us MSG in EVERYTHING and the only options were steak without seasonings and a baked potato. After we ate we both got sick, Celiacs BEWARE!!!

This place can be tricky, but at the one near me, the manager has celiac so I didn't have a problem. But I think exact recipes vary from place to place.

Just to clarify, MSG is not gluten related. It might not be good for your, but it's not gluten.

I was told by a manager that they rub bacon grease on all their potatoes before baking! (Gross, huh?) So part of your problem could have been from that if you had a potato!

You may want to do more research because I know for a fact that MSG (Monosodium GLUTAMATE) does contain Gluten...

MSG. does NOT contain gluten. In Clan Thompson's 2008 food guide it clearly states no gluten in MSG , found on page 37.

I also went to ask.com to confirm.....

Gluten is a protein found in some grains. MSG. is a compound used to enhance flavours. it is a natural by -product of the fermentation process for soy sauce.

Pure MSG contains only MSG and no gluten.

Many of us react to MSG so we don't eat things with MSG in them but not because it contains gluten. I get severe migraines from MSG.

I might add just because a product has the beginning letters GLUT that does not always mean it contains gluten.

Nope, in the USA MSG is gluten-free. It's made from "fermentation of starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses". It's called Monosodium glutamate because it's made from glutamic acid, not gluten. Many on here eat it with out a problem. If you react to it it's a separate intolerance, though it does bother some.
