    Ruby Tuesday Makes Dairy-Free Dining Easy with Detailed Allergen Menu

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 4, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated February 2023! This casual American bar and grill serves a wide range of meat and seafood dishes, and is well loved for their burgers. Although I wouldn’t recommend Ruby Tuesday to vegans, it is a great find for dairy-free diners. They offer a big array of chicken, steak, seafood, burger, sandwich, and salad options without milk.

    Ruby Tuesday has been on a downward slide since 2016, and did have a very tough 2020. Like many restaurants, they had to close several more locations. To stay alive, they chose voluntary bankruptcy in 2021. The move allowed them to quickly come out on the other side, and hold onto over 200 corporate-owned and operated locations.

    Ruby Tuesday Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom Order & Vegan Options

    Ruby Tuesday Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom Order & Vegan Options

    Of course, experiences can vary by location, due to differences in management and staff. But overall, Ruby Tuesday has received top marks by food allergic customers for their attentiveness to needs. This is our quick and organized list of the dairy-free options as supplied by Ruby Tuesday. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Butter Note: Ruby Tuesday uses a liquid margarine on the grill, buns, and vegetables that is dairy-free.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All of the items listed below are made without egg, peanut, and tree nuts, unless otherwise noted. The burgers and sandwiches can be ordered with a gluten-free bun, and the entrees and sides listed below can be ordered without gluten. The Barbecue Ribs, Baked Potato, and Marinara Pasta are made without soy, but other items will need to be special ordered without the margarine for soy-free needs. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Appetizers

    • Boneless Wings with Mild Buffalo, Hot Buffalo, Sassy Honey, or Hickory Bourbon Glaze (no dipping sauce) (contains egg)

    Heads Up! The Bone-In Chicken Wings do contain milk in the ingredients. But Ruby Tuesday lists them as containing milk, and other top allergens, due to potential cross-contamination in the deep fryer. The Coconut Shrimp and Onion Rings do contain milk in their recipes.

    Salads

    • Cucumber Salad
    • Honey Glazed Salmon Salad  (no cheese)

    Garden Salad Bar Dairy-Free Toppings: All Fresh Produce & Legumes, Bacon, Ham, Banana Peppers, Beets, Black Olives, Crispy Cucumbers, Crispy Onions, Crispy Jalapenos, Diced Eggs, Dried Cranberries, Pepperoncini, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Pico de Gallo, Lavash Crackers

    Dairy-Free Dressings: Balsamic Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinegar, Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, French, Golden Italian, Honey Mustard (contains egg), Thousand Island (contains egg)

    Heads Up! The Brioche Buns and Gluten-Free Buns at Ruby Tuesday are dairy-free, but the Gluten-Free Buns do contain egg. As mentioned, the “butter” used on the buns is a dairy-free liquid margarine. Their Crispy Chicken does contain milk.

    Pasta

    • Blackened Shrimp & Sausage Pasta (no alfredo sauce)

    • Grilled Chicken
    • Marinara Pasta

    Heads Up! The Slider Buns at Ruby Tuesday do contain milk, so the kids burger sliders cannot be ordered dairy free.

But Ruby Tuesday lists them as containing milk (and other top allergens) due to potential cross-contamination in the deep fryer.

    • Breadsticks
    • Coleslaw
    • Grilled Zucchini

    Note: The French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, and Tater Tots at Ruby Tuesday do not appear to contain any milk-based ingredients. But Ruby Tuesday lists them as containing milk (and other top allergens) due to potential cross-contamination in the deep fryer. The Rice Pilaf and Onion Rings do contain milk in their recipes.

    It’s very cool that Ruby Tuesday’s offers a dairy free menu because most restaurants do not 🙂
