Gluten & Allergen Information
Unfortunately, the Sausage Biscuit is not gluten-free, as the biscuit contains wheat. This makes it unsuitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. In addition, dairy may be present depending on added ingredients like cheese.
Beyond gluten and dairy, Waffle House kitchens handle other major allergens such as eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and sesame. While staff take care in preparation, there is always a possibility of cross-contact in a busy 24/7 diner environment.
Those looking for an alternative might try the Chicken Biscuit, another popular handheld choice at Waffle House.
