This protects the company from a legal standpoint because their formal statement on the status of gluten-free menu options is that they won’t confirm anything is safe – or unsafe – for people who can’t eat gluten.  For full details about this change, please read this post from Celiac-Disease.com.

Unfortunately, a review of their official website didn’t uncover any official gluten-free menu information so I decided to do some additional research and see what I can find.   Steakhouses typically have several foods which can easily be prepared gluten-free and it appears that Ruth’s Chris steakhouse is no exception.  

Here is the menu items we’ve been able to confirm is gluten-free (as is the standard disclaimer, please make sure to educate your server of cross-contamination concerns):

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse Gluten Free Menu

Appetizers/Soups/Salads

• Barbequed Shrimp
• Shrimp Remoulade
• Onion Soup (no croutons)
• Ahi Tuna is (no sauce)
• All salads (no croutons)
• All salad dressings except Ranch

Entrees

• All entrees (steaks are only seasoned with salt, pepper and butter)
• Stuffed Chicken Breast (no Ranch dressing)

Sides

• All potatoes are acceptable with the exception of Au Gratin and French Fries (both are fried in the same fryer as the Onion Rings)
• All vegetables are acceptable except Creamed and Au Gratin.

So far I’ve only been able to go once (it is a little pricey) but the food was excellent.   I had the Spaghetti Marinara which was very good.    Next time I go back, I plan on trying one of their gluten-free pizzas which it appears they make themselves.

I was not able to locate a gluten-free menu on their official website, but according to the submitter, Cafe Fraiche offers many gluten-free dishes including sandwiches on gluten-free bread and several tasty desserts.   If you decide to visit this restaurant, it is recommended that you request to speak with the owner.

So, does Cracker Barrel offer anything that is safe to eat for those of us on a gluten-free diet?   Surely the answer is yes, although they may be hesitant to put anything official in writing.    So far the only thing I’ve been able to find that has any value is the following information provided by a Cracker Barrel restaurant manager:

Meats:

• Steak 10oz. Ribeye and Sirloin (You’ll need to request that these steaks and any other meats are not cooked on the “pancake/Bun/Sourdough Bread area of the grill”.  Sometimes the cooks just don’t know what the meat only grill is for. )
• Hamburger and Kids Burgers (no bun)
• Sugar Cured Ham
• Country Ham
• Bacon
• Grilled Chicken Tenders (unmarinated)
• Grilled Catfish (no seasoning)
• Grilled Trout (no seasoning)
• Pork Chops (grilled only)
• Turkey (request it be grilled as the dinner cut is baked in gravy when prepared for dinners, but it can be cut fresh from the breast and grilled)

Veggies:

• Corn
• Carrots
• Green Beans
• Turnip Greens
• Mashed Potatoes
• Boiled Cabbage (Sunday offering)
• Boiled Red-skinned Potatoes (Tuesday offering)
• Sweet Potato Casserole (Thursday offering)
• Baby Lima Beans (Saturday offering)
• Applesauce
• Baked Potato (risky as prepped in the same area as croutons)
• Fried Apples (though you may want to avoid these as they sit on the steamtable right in front of the hashbrown casserole that contains gluten in the soup base. Cooks have been known to drop bits of the hashbrown into the apples in the process of serving up plates.)
• Seasoned Rice (Saturday offering minus the baked chicken that it is served with, just tell them you want the rice as a veggie.)

Breakfast:

• Grits
• Eggs

Salads:

Cracker Barrel uses T. Mazetti dressings for most salad dressings.  Their fat free dressings (FF Italian, FF Ranch, FF Honey Mustard, FF Thousand Island) are also from T. Mazetti, and come served to your table in a packet, so you can just read the ingredients on the labels.

• Sirloin Salad (no croutons)
• Un-Marinated Grilled Chicken Salad (no croutons)
• Turkey Salad (no croutons)
• Chef Salad (no croutons)
• House Salad (no croutons)
• Tossed Salad (no croutons)

Desserts:

• Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

** The beef consumee used in making brown rice (Friday offering) has wheat listed on the can. The brown rice is NOT safe.

The manager also recommends avoiding all foods that are fryed at Cracker Barrel locations.   The complete post and additional information can be read here.

I’ve also read some reviews from gluten-free diners at Cracker Barrel locations and the reviews have been mixed, so hopefully the information provided above helps!   Please remember to make sure to educate your server about your dietary needs.
