Gluten & Allergen Information
While the Chicken Dinner features high-quality grilled chicken, it’s not gluten-free due to the Texas toast and possible cross-contact in the kitchen. Waffle House kitchens handle many gluten-containing ingredients on shared grills and cooking surfaces.
In addition, the dish contains milk, soy, and wheat, so it’s important to check with staff if you have food allergies or sensitivities. Though the grilled chicken from Springer Mountain Farms® is known for its clean sourcing and contains no artificial preservatives, always verify with staff for specific ingredients.
For guests avoiding bread, the Pork Chop Dinner offers another hearty, protein-focused plate without Texas toast as the main element.
