Gluten & Allergen Information
The Grilled Biscuit & Gravy is not gluten-free, as the biscuit contains wheat. Additionally, both the biscuit and sausage gravy contain dairy, making this dish unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. Some seasonings may include soy, so individuals with soy sensitivities should check with the restaurant.
If you have gluten intolerance or celiac disease, it’s best to avoid this dish and choose safer alternatives like grilled chicken with hashbrowns or a side salad. Waffle House does provide some gluten-free options, but unfortunately, this classic biscuit isn’t one of them.
For a safer gluten-free alternative, many customers opt for lighter meals such as the Two-Egg Breakfast with a side of fresh fruit.
