Gluten & Allergen Information
The Grilled Biscuit is not gluten-free, as it contains wheat. This makes it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. In addition, depending on preparation and customization, it may include dairy, eggs, soy, or butter. Waffle House also notes that its kitchens handle nuts, fish, and sesame, so cross-contact is possible.
For guests with dietary restrictions, it’s best to consult staff about allergen information and consider alternatives like hashbrowns or eggs prepared without gluten-containing ingredients.
