Chili’s Gluten-Free Menu

Last Updated on by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff

One of my favorite restaurants to go to used to be Chili’s Grill and Bar. Unfortunately, many restaurants these days are off limits to me, or anyone with gluten intolerance, so I decided to go out and do some checking to see if Chili’s had some gluten-free options available.

Much to my relief, it turns out they do have a gluten-free menu, and their menu is very impressive. If you are interested, you can check out their gluten-free menu here (PDF). As I have yet to try their gluten-free menu, I went out and located the following review, discovered via the Examiner:

As in most restaurants the best service comes from the best wait staff. I have frequently visited Chili’s restaurants in Wilson, Goldsboro, and Raleigh and I have continually had very good service with knowledgeable wait staff and chefs.

I generally order a bunless hamburger, grilled salmon, or salmon with garlic and herbs. I usually request black beans and rice, corn, or fresh vegetables as my sides without additional sauce or butter. The allergen friendly menu clearly states how you should order your food and what you need to inform your waiter or waitress about in ordering.

The menu also clearly states that they cannot guarantee a Chili’s meal to be completely free of allergens because they do not have a dedicated allergen free or gluten-free cooking station. The experiences I have had at Chili’s have always been positive and my food has been delicious. But with all gluten-free dining outside of your kitchen, you need to be aware that cross contamination can easily happen, especially in large chain restaurants.

I’m sure many of our readers have also tried Chili’s gluten-free menu. We’d love for you to share your restaurant review in the comments!

As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.

Texas Roadhouse Gluten-Free Menu

Last Updated on by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff

When I first began my gluten-free diet about 4 years ago, one of the first places I discovered that I could still go to is Texas Roadhouse, forever giving them a warm place in my heart. However, back on March 16, 2009, we were disappointed to report that the Texas Roadhouse had since canceled its gluten-free menu.

After reviewing their official website today, it looks like they now have the following message posted (on their contact page, click the gluten-free menu):

We are sorry but we no longer offer our gluten-free menu. It was a very difficult decision, but we concluded that due to the multi-use of utensils, supplier changes, substitutions or the possibility of human error, we could not offer our guests a total assurance that the items were indeed 100% gluten-free. As such, we decided that the best approach was for the management team at each restaurant to work with guests individually to ensure that they can make the most informed menu decisions. Please ask to speak to the managing partner, who will be happy to accommodate any requests or provide information about our food and preparation. Thank you for your interest in Texas Roadhouse.

In other words, they still have a gluten-free menu and a knowledgeable staff, they are just handling these requests at the local restaurant level and protecting themselves in case someone gets cross-contaminated (gluten) by accident.

We can confirm that since this announcement a few months ago, we have eaten at the Texas Roadhouse several times without any trouble, so if you decide to eat at Texas Roadhouse, just let your server and their manager know about your gluten-free needs.

As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.
