Texas Roadhouse
Various locations.  The phone book listed more locations in Louisville than their web page.
Steaks are cut fresh and are not marinated or pre-seasoned.  You can order without seasonings or bastings.  The butter for the potatoes is real and gluten free.  Salads are nice and without croutons.  They shred their own cheese so pile it on!  Beef tips are pre-seasoned / pre-marinated so avoid those.  Last review - mid-2003.  Please ask for their GF menu.

Nearly every entre is GF.  The staff are friendly and anxious to please, but some have difficulties with English.  The manager is English-fluent and is pleased to answer your qeustions.  The decor is pleasant and the atmosphere relaxing.

This restaurant in Old Louisville has entrees ranging in price from $5.75 to $7.00 and has a wide variety of items.  The owner is most willing to accommodate the GF diners if they call ahead of time.  She is willing to bake up a batch of GF bread and keep it in the freezer just for our use.  Teh wait staff was friendly and competent.  Last review - mid-2003.
