Gluten & Allergen Information
The Texas Bacon Lovers BLT is not gluten-free, as it’s made with traditional Texas Toast, which contains wheat. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s important to ask your local Waffle House if they offer a gluten-free bread option.
The sandwich also contains pork (bacon), making it unsuitable for those avoiding pork for dietary or religious reasons. Lettuce and tomato are generally allergen-safe, but always double-check if you have specific produce allergies. If you’re looking for a lighter but still protein-rich alternative, the Grilled Chicken Dinner is a smart choice with fewer calories.
