Gluten & Allergen Information
While Steak & Eggs itself doesn’t naturally contain gluten, cross-contamination is possible. For instance, the toast included in the meal contains gluten, and waffle irons at Waffle House are often shared, meaning traces of gluten may be present even if you’re not eating waffles.
In terms of allergens, this meal contains eggs and soy and may also carry trace amounts of peanuts or tree nuts due to shared kitchen equipment. If you have celiac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity, it’s best to notify the staff for safer food handling.
