Texas Roadhouse is not the most vegan-friendly restaurant out there. But if you happen to find yourself at this steakhouse, we’ll help you find something to snack on.
Many chain restaurants are very upfront about the ingredients and allergens in their food because they serve so many people. This is usually very helpful to vegans, because they try to avoid many common allergens, such as milk, eggs, and fish.
However, when putting together a list of all the vegan options at Texas Roadhouse, I noticed that this chain restaurant can be more secretive about what’s in their food. (Like their sneaky baked potato that is cooked in bacon grease.)
At the very bottom of Texas Roadhouse’s website, you’ll find a link for nutrition and allergen information. Although you can’t filter for vegan food, you can eliminate many animal products, such as milk, eggs, fish, and shellfish.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the restaurant directly. Their disclaimer is that because all of their food is made fresh, there might be some differences between locations, so always tell your server that you are vegan before ordering.

Thank you! This was really helpful as I am a new vegan and am not sure what restaurants have vegan options!
Glad this could help! 🙂
I was looking for allergen information. Pretty tough to go to a restaurant and not have allergen info. Thanks for posting. I got a gift card from someone… now, can I use it…
