Texas Roadhouse Or Logan's Roadhouse?

DH's holiday party is this weekend. The girls always spend the evening with the grandparents. They go to dinner and then to Chuck E Cheese's to play (we don't eat there!). I'm concerned enough about the little one even being at CEC without my supervision, but I'm also wondering if she'll be able to eat dinner. My mom has already told me they are going to either Texas Roadhouse or Logan's Roadhouse, depending on which one has the shortest wait.

Has anyone had a good experience with either of these steakhouses? I do plan to call ahead and talk to both places about the menu, but I am interested in thoughts from those who have been there, done that.

My family has gone to Logan's. I don't know if it was because of gluten or not because when I went I wasn't that into watching gluten. I had thought I was safe with ribs. But I got violently ill. I was in bed for 2 days (and usually when I get that bad I push myself to get out of bed). My grandmother and her boyfriend had also gotten sick (they have no issues with foods). I also don't know how young your kids are....and if people will watch her carefully...but also my experience with the rolls (with gluten) were NASTY...very yeasty...and here's me loving bread...

So to be honest our whole experience stunk...but then again we don't know what exactly it was.

I had contacted Texas Roadhouse because my daughter keeps getting gift certificates for a free meal from school, but so far no one has bothered to call me back or e-mail me back... when I called the local one they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

I've done well with either. I ask for the steak with only S&P, not their seasoning, I get the baked sweet potato and veggies without seasoning, and I do fine. When I was traveling, Steak places were my "least risk" place to eat out. The last time I was in a Texas roadhouse, they even did the steak in a pan instead of on the grill <_< to protect me. I just use the easy -- "I'm allergic to wheat and the seasoning most likely has wheat in it" that simplifies the problem, but makes me understood.

I eat at Texas and if I have a new server, I let them know I have food allergies and don't have any problems. They clean a portion of the grill for me. I haven't tried Logan's yet - we just got one in town. I eat a plain salad and steak - the green beans I give to hubby because they have bacon. I also shield my food (imagine my arms and hands forming a small wall around my plate) when I go with family and they are eating break or peanuts. My kids and DH are OK, it is my father I have to be concerned about since he is not around me enough to know how truly sensitive I am.

When I first started this, I actually put my menu up as a wall between me and my bread-weilding hubby. That embarrased him enough that he got more careful! :lol:

I didn't have any problems at Texas Roadhouse. I made sure the server knew I had food allergies & they wrote in red ink several times on my order slip "NO SEASONINGS!" -- ribeye, sweet potato, and lettuce salad with just lemon juice. I forgot to ask about a clean spot on the grill, but it was the only meal during my trip I didn't get sick from.

Well, it seemed to go well at Logan's Roadhouse. DD's reaction time is almost exactly 24 hours and she has been fine all day. She had a plain sweet potato and unseasoned veggies, which was simply broccoli this time of year (surprised it didn't include any winter squash though).

Thanks for the feedback! I decided to let her have a go at it. Even though she's only 1, I just don't want her to feel isolated and left out all the time. Grandma and Grandpa said she had a great time. She took her own "appetizers" and they kept the rolls far away from her.

I printed off a copy of the Texas Roadhouse gluten free menu from their website and use it when we eat there......our waitress understood what I was talking about and made copious notes for the kitchen staff. I am very happy with them.

I haven't tried Logan's lately because I have never liked their food.

Can you post the link to the webiste for the menu? I tried finding it on their website but didn't have any luck. Thanks.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
