Lone Star Steakhouse - Anyone Been?

I was just wondering if anyone has eaten at a Lone Star Steakhouse without any trouble. I'm trying to go to dinner with DD and my parents tonight for her birthday. She *loves* steak but the web site doesn't have any allergy/gluten-free indications. I'm going to call later this afternoon but would like to know if anyone else has tried it with any success.

Our other options in the area are a Village Inn or a Perkins, neither offering gluten-free options and those places scare me a bit since it's mostly sandwiches and breakfast fare (pancakes, toast, etc.) Too much CC risk for me.

I talked to the manager at the Golden, CO location and he was very helpful. He said when we get there to let the server know to have him come to our table and he will help us order. We talked briefly about the menu and it sounds like she'll be able to get a steak seasoned w/ salt and pepper, a baked potato, and some veggies.

I hope this goes well *fingers crossed* as DD has had a rough couple days and I'd love for this to work out for her.

The manager said he'd even open a NEW container of ice cream and use a new scoop so she could have dessert. (Those pesky scoops are always touching cakes and brownies and the like, yikes!).

WISH US LUCK!

We had an awesome meal last night. DD said she did feel gassy but not "glutened" so who knows, but the manager really took care of us. He made her steak himself on a clean grill w/ just salt and pepper and she had a baked potato with butter and steamed veggies (more butter). Plus, he did open a fresh carton of ice cream just for her.

He was a really nice manager and totally seemed willing to bend over backwards for whatever she needed. We totally will be going back. He even said on all you can eat rib night we can bring our own sauce and he'll make her ribs for her. :D

Not to shabby for a chain restaurant. We also went when it wasn't incredibly busy, so I'm sure that helped!

That is awesome! I had a decent experience at the Westminster, CO location. The manager didn't come out, but the server took back the dining card and was right on top of things. It was a good meal, and I didn't feel "glutened" either...

buffettbride hello,

I have been eating at the Glendale Az Lonestar for at least 2 years and the manager at the time I first tried it had a relative that is celiac and so had made up a special menu and even had it laminated, with specific instructions and also trained the staff. it is always a good experience to eat there without a lot of the normal concerns that go with eating out. I went to a different Lonestar in Az and had to give the normal explicit instruction talk to a waiter that at least admitted that he had no idea what gluten was. He did take care to insure our meal was safe. :D

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
