Texas Roadhouse — Restaurant in Duluth

Unless you enjoy an MASSIVE amount of monosodium glutamate poured all over your steak, this is a warning for anyone allergic to it. I wish I had been warned…..I had such a severe reaction after eating four bites of steak with mushrooms that my dinner wound up consisting of chewed up Benadryl as my son watched me shaking from head to toe from the reaction. no, I did not ask about MSG usage because we’ve eaten here two other times… But not the steak! His meal was ruined because it was so greasy, but my allergic reaction obviously over shadowed it and I wound up having to pay for his meal anyway. I was offered a replacement steak with no seasoning at all and was given a fresh hot flavorless steak That was so tough I couldn’t even get the fork into it. The staff was very nice, but I will never be back because I no longer trust any of your food and just The thought of that horrible night is nothing but stressful. I should’ve gotten a full refund for the entire meal plus I just wanted to go home instead of doing the other things we planned on doing. My entire gastrointestinal system has been unwell ever since and I haven’t slept well in three days. I have never had such a severe reaction to Food in my entire life and I know that small amounts of MSG are in most food at restaurants (which hardly effects me) so that tells me Texas roadhouse uses a huge huge HUGE amount and needs to have a warning out there for people like me. I’ll never be back To hear that horrible music blaring,...

Update!!! 6/21/25

I am back!! And good changes have been made at Duluth's Texas Roadhouse for celiac friendly food!

Quick seating even though it was just hours after Grandma's Marathon concluded.

Peggy Sue was our fantastic server tonight, introducing us to the QR code for their allergen menu. She was careful to ask us if we had any questions. A manager stopped by to say a hello at some point. We appreciated the service today and gluten free & other allergen assistance.

Today we tried & enjoyed:

Strawberry Cucumber Fizz drink - refreshing

Gluten free foods: *8oz sirloin w/baked potato *Full rack of ribs + baked potato & sweet potato

Note: there is a Celiac "button" in kitchen for my order so all precautions are taken to not have cross contamination.

From a couple years ago: Gluten Free menu was limited but good, not ceiliac recommended as my skin was reacting to wheat in the establishment. Food was good! I had: sweet potato and butter, shrimp with sides of sauteed mushrooms and green beans. Friendly staff & excellent cooks. Takeout window available through an outside window, very efficient and clever. Quite crowded as is a popular place to eat, just didn't feel like the cleanest of places as table & seat were sticky. Rolls on the table are awesome for most eating here, but tough on wheat allergies. Sad for me. But I had zero reaction to wheat contamination in food. Was filling...

Not often do I do a lower review but it was a little tough when we started with a table of 9 and 2 bread baskets with a total of 8 rolls. So we had that very awkward moment where nobody would take the last 3. We requested more but the waitress stated she would bring more (5 min later) We called ahead due to so many people in our group and the manager did accommodate but we asked if prime rib was being served as that’s what 5 out of 9 people wanted. We specifically went there and not another location specifically for prime rib. We got there and were seated within 5 min. That was nice but a lack of bread (we all come here for that, let’s be real) then were told no prime rib was being served. I’ve never experienced that at the Shakopee MN location or the north metro location. So that was disappointing. We will go somewhere else to try next time we go north as too many great options up here to be that disappointed. If you’re not a prime rib snob like our family, this is a ok place but I would step it up with communication to people calling in advance and checking to not serve something that is on the menu and was stated that product was being served. I didn’t take any pictures which is a rarity but I just didn’t want to be more negative if I didn’t have to be. The bill was over $300 and we have higher...
