Some Better Gluten-Free Options to Consider

- Outback Steakhouse
- The Melting Pot
- Olive Garden
- Lemon Grass
- Red Robin
- The Tavern Grill
- Carrabba’s
- Wilder Wood

Always consider food safety and seek clarification, if necessary, on the kitchen tools being used.
Knowing that the Texas Roadhouse kitchen was not made exclusively for gluten-free meals and that there is still a chance of cross-contamination will help you make a better decision.
