75 Essential Gluten Free Restaurant Menus You Need to Know

Last updated on by . These menus are unofficial meaning they may not be accurate and can change at any time.

One of the most stressful parts about eating out on a gluten free diet is trying to figure out what’s safe to eat.

Some restaurants don’t provide gluten free menus and others require you to search through those annoyingly long “allergy/nutrition” charts online that literally takes you hours to navigate.

And then there are times when restaurants don’t do neither of those.

So basically, you have to email every restaurant that you want to eat at just to get their complete gluten free menus.

And even then, some restaurants may just ignore your emails.

It’s honestly just a tedious, time consuming task that you have to do just to discover which restaurant menu items are gluten free or not.

Too bad there isn’t an all-in-one resource that provides you with a large majority of major fast food and chain restaurant gluten free menus.

Or is there?

Well you’re in luck because I created this huge listing of over 75 essential gluten free restaurant menus you absolutely need to know.

    I definitely appreciate what you are doing in attempting to help gluten – free people with restaurants to find – as someone who has celiac it is difficult to find restaurants. However, your list has some restaurants (that I know of/been to) that have major cross contamination issues and no one who has celiac, wheat allergy or is gluten intolerant can eat at them it will make them sick.

    – Chilis
    – On the Border
    – Olive Garden
    – Wendy’s
    – McDonalds

    With that being said here are some restaurants that have gluten free options and do not have cross contamination issues.

    – Five Guys (specifically with french fries)
    – Mooyah Burger
    – In and Out
    – Kenny’s Italian Kitchen
    – Blue Mesa

    I hope this was helpful and I just would hate to see someone who is recently diagnosed with a gluten issue and get sick from eating at a suggested restaurant.

      Hey Klein,

      Thanks for the extra information regarding cross contamination at Chilis and the other 4 restaurants you listed. My personal recommendation would be for Celiacs and the gluten intolerant to avoid these restaurants just to be on the safe side. However, if anyone is just on a strict, non-medical, gluten-free diet, these restaurants will be a somewhat good choice.

      Once again, thanks for the information Klein and I so glad that you appreciate this post!

        Five Guys in our area use peanut oil in their fryers. Since I am highly sensitive to peanuts, I’m glad I asked. But they make great burgers.

        You might want to add Legal Sea Foods to your list. They are only on the east coast, but they have had a pretty comprehensive gluten free menu for about 10 years. They have separate fryers and cookware for all gluten free items to avoid contamination, and they take allergies VERY seriously. They have amazing food! http://www.legalseafood.com

They also have a separate GF menu, as the the article states they do not. I have heard my wife discuss the cross contamination issue first hand, they are aware of it and continually working towards resolutions.

          My daughter and I are gfs due to celiac. We do eat at Wendy’s. I usually get a baked potatoes and salad. My daughter usually gets a potatoes and burger party. We have avoided their fries under the impression they aren’t prepared in a dedicated fryer.

      I ate at Picazzo’s in Flagstaff and Sedona (they have several locations in Arizona) while there on vacation and for all practical purposes it is a menu completely gluten free except that you can order non GF pizza if you want. I had ravioli, pizza, flat bread with appetizer and skillet sized chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Salads come with gluten free croutons, cheese garlic bread comes on gluten free bread they make (they also make the pizza crusts themselves). The food was excellent, mostly organic and local ingredients and you wouldn’t even think it was gluten free. I honestly wonder if there are any other restaurants in the rest of the country that have GF as the norm and non GF as the side exception menu. Maybe they are the best gluten free restaurant in the country! http://picazzos.com/

      Are there any restaurants in colorado that take gluten allergies and cross contamination serious. I have gotten seriously sick dining at some of the restaurants. Even though they claimed they try to be carefull. Why advertise that they have gluten free items if they can’t guarantee there won’t be any cross contamination?

    I wanted to add Red Robin (as I don’t see it listed–sorry if I missed it). They do a really good job and will even make their fries in a separate vat of oil to make sure there’s as little cross contamination as possible. They have a gluten free menu and offer it protein style or with a gluten free bun. Their menu is a lot of –have this without the dressing, topping, what have you–but I’ve found it gives a good idea of what they have, and you can mix and match some things and they’ve never been anything but helpful.

    Thanks. It’s always good to check ahead of time. However I have celiac and had a major reaction at the Outback Steakhouse. It could only have been the dressing or seasoning. Unfortunately I am also sensitive to msg and lately I have been trying to avoid GMO soy. So I pretty much have to cook at home, (which isn’t bad for my waistline!) or order salads, and bring my own condiments. Food producers are quick to jump on the marketing bandwagon. . .but sadly a lot of it is just smoke and mirrors. The food system in this country needs a serious detoxification and overhaul. Fructose, sodium, gluten, additives, gmo’s. . .it’s a health

    I see that Starbucks oatmeal is listed. Do they use gluten free oats? If not it is most definitely not gluten free.

    I appreciate this list very much, however I do think that as a Celiac things are getting more difficult rather than easier. So many people are eating gluten free now that the tern gluten free is becoming too loose. It can be very dangerous for those of us that must be 100% gf by creating a false sense of safety.

    • Rachel

      I’m afraid I have to agree with you, Kristin. I have Celiac Disease and I believe too many restaurants are jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon but not really doing a proper job with their preparation. Too many restaurants have this half-assed approach to having a few token “gluten-free” items without understanding the complexity of cross-contamination. I think many are just trying to cater to the “trendy” and “hip” crowd, whose latest fad diet is the “gluten-free” craze. As a Celiac, I approach most of these places with extreme caution and make sure to read plenty of reviews and do my research ahead of time to make sure that they are indeed safe options for me.

    I think it’s important that we all understand that it’s our responsibility to know the risks of eating out. Cross contamination is always a risk…as long as there are gluten containing items in the restaurant, it’s impossible to be certain all requirements are being met at all times. I’ve also found that the depth of knowledge about being gluten-free is still limited in the restaurant world. Rachel put it very well, do your homework, and then find safe places to go and enjoy! Thanks Adam for making it a little easier to navigate!

      Hey Lauren, I’m just here to help! And yes, I definitely agree that it’s literally impossible to avoid any cross contamination unless you go to a 100% gluten free restaurant or if you just decide to skip eating out in the first place and cook at home instead. But I’m glad that you found this post to making eating out a little easier for you!

    Thank you for your hard word regarding this list. I agree, Starbucks oats are very questionable. Also, I have heard McDonald’s fries, even if in dedicated oil, have been bathed in beef broth that contains gluten. Taco Tome used to be my favorite fast food back in the day. Here in Washington, they do have GF items, but was told their beef and mexi fries are NOT GF as stated in you link. Just wanted to let you know.

    Adam, Do you know of any choices when eating out that are almost guaranteed to be safe choices? Salad or baked potato maybe? I’m curious because I avoid eating out because of fear but I miss a lot of social opportunities. I would definitely pass on a good meal and eat anything at all just to be able to be present at dinner.

    Reply

    • Adam Bryan

      Hey Kristin,

      In my opinion I think some of the safest choices are salads (without croutons and caesar dressing), baked potatoes like you mentioned, and steamed vegetables. Usually, most grilled chicken dishes and steaks are gluten free as long as they are cooked plain. Some restaurants like to add a rub or special sauce to their steaks which may or may not contain gluten. If a restaurant offers gluten free pasta, then I’ll definitely go there. This include Macaroni Grill, Biaggis, and the Olive Garden. But of course, the safest dishes are the ones that are the most unnatural and plain such as veggies and salt/peppered meats.

    If anyone is in Chicago, this restaurant opened last year. It is a completely Gluten-Free restaurant, and its awesome. I also recently went to a pancake house in Wheaton,IL called Butterfields that has Gluten-Free pancakes and waffles. They were awesome, but I am not sure about cross contamination. I am only sensitive to gluten, where I bloat and feel uncomfortable, so I do not have a serious issue, but I noticed that I felt perfectly fine afterward.

    This is an awesome list, and I really wish this was available when we made our 4 week trip to the USA a few years back! I was very stressed about dining out because I’m a very sensitive celiac. But there were so many great options (especially compared to here in Australia, pretty bleak). One thing I’d like to add is we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co several times, and I had zero adverse reactions. They have a separate gluten free menu, and I found them very helpful. Also Margaritaville at Universal Studios Florida was being run by a man who’s daughter was celiac, so another great experience there (tried the one in Vegas, didn’t end up eating there).

    Maggiano’s is an excellent choice for gluten free Italian dining. They don’t have a dedicated GF menu but have always accommodated me. As a Celiac, I love going there. Just meet the manager when you walk in and explain your need for GF food and he/she will shepherd your order through with care. They have gluten free pasta and gluten free meatballs. I was just there last week and the manager told me that all of their sauces are now gluten free. I had shrimp alfredo. Simply wonderful.

    Also, Texas de Brazil Brazilian steak houses have numerous great GF meat choices and – hold on to your seats – GF rolls which are really great.

    Recently I visited my sister in Indianapolis, we found that Scotty’s Brewhouse has excellent food AND they offer a rather large GF menu. (If you are a true Celiac (rather than just non-medical GF) they do suggest that you mention your allergy to your server so they can take extra precautions)

    Great compilation of menus and “take off’s” to be gluten free. I’ve searched for other listings like this, even apps that I’ve paid for and I’ve found nothing as detailed as this. Most apps/websites just don’t have the item listed as an option at all instead of saying you can have the salad, just remove the wonton strips, or you can have the burger, just no bun etc. This is new to our family. It all started with my daughter experiencing headaches and felling sick every time she ate. With a 6 week elimination diet we’ve solved the mystery! Now the whole family is doing it and we all feel great not to mention the weight loss! My husband is struggling though because he eats out often. This guide will be incredibly helpful for him. Would love to see Taco Bell added to your listing.

    Smokey Bones has a gluten free menu. It even states on the menu if there is risk for cross contamination.

    I may have missed a mention of the Margaritaville restaurants on your list. As chains go they do a good job of “getting it” and have a great gf bun for the cheeseburger in paradise. The fries also come from a dedicated fryer.

    Adam, if you make it to Chgo for the EXPO you must stop into DaLuciano’s in River Grove…about 30 min. from downtown Chgo. http://www.dalucianos.com The owners, Rosa and Luciano have 7 children 4 are celiacs. They have a HUGE gf menu including pastas, pizzas and desserts even, tiramisu’s and they have a dedicated kitchen with a seperate ventilation system. Rosa does the baking and pasta making a few times a week. It is worth the trip west from downtown Chicago to meet this family and stuff yourself with homemade Italian food!!

    I just wanted to mention Nothing but Noddles. Our local Nothing But Noodles advertised a gluten-free menu, so we decided to try it the other day. They noted our allergy on the order. They used separate cookware & different bowls for the gluten-free entrees. They use rice noodles. They seemed to have a good understanding of the needs of gluten-free patrons.

      I’ve never heard of them before but from what you have to say, it seems like they don’t take cross-contamination lightly, which is great. Thanks for the restaurant suggestion Susan!

    Thank you! thank you! thank you! My 4 year old was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. We used to eat out a few times a month, but we haven’t been anywhere since the diagnosis because I wasn’t sure where he could eat. This list is so helpful! It has been a bit overwhelming so I’m so glad I found this. We can go out again!

    With any of the the chain restaurants, the gluten free menu is only as good as the staff’s education. On a recent trip to Olive Garden, even after stressing emphatically to the waiter and having him acknowledge my concerns, I was served a “Mixed Grill” with demi glaze (sp) on it, even though it isn’t mentioned on the gluten free menu and was chastised by one of the managers for not telling them to not put on the sauce (that I had no idea even existed)
    . This is a great list and I’m sure I will use it, but if you have Celiac disease, you still have to be on your toes!!! Sadly this wasn’t the first issue I’ve had with the local Olive Garden, thankfully I have had no trouble at any of the others I have visited.

    One Dish in Ellicott City, Maryland is a completely Gluten Free Restaurant!!!
    I have dined at most of these places throughout MD and have had cross contamination issues. It is disappointing that they’ve put so much effort into a specialty menu and can’t remember which pot of water to boil noodles in… The excitement of a special menu follow by the adverse reaction to the contaminated food is such a let down.

    Awesome list and great resource!

    My input (from the Lehigh Valley area, Pennsylvania):
    Copperhead Grille – has a GF menu, but when I ate there, I had a very bad reaction after eating specifically from the GF menu and indicating to the waitress I was allergic to gluten.

    Grumpy’s Roadhouse – does NOT have GF menu. They said the ribs, at some point in the process of bbqing are coated in a liquid that allegedly has gluten in it. That being said, I have eaten the ribs more times than I can count and never had a reaction. Ever. And I’m extremely sensitive to even small bits of gluten in food. The garlic mashed potatoes are delicious and gf. The cornbread (sad!) is not GF.
    They have a dessert, the Tuxedo Bomb, which is mousse on a small cake round. If careful, you can cut about half an inch above the cake, and eat the rest – having done that, I’ve not had a reaction. Not something I’d recommend to someone with celiac’s, butI miss dessert!!

    Olive Garden – the gf pasta is gross. Flat out disgusting. The salmon dish, however is gf and delicious!

    More later… 🙂

    Hey Adam. GREAT list of gluten free menus. We’ve been kicking around the idea of dedicating a menu on our site to gluten free options, even though our claim to fame is creating your own masterpiece. We’d love for you to come in and check us out to see if we’d make the cut to get added to your list here. Please let us know if you’d like to stop by. We’re in South Park, but have 2 more locations opening up this year (hopefully). Thanks for putting together a great resource for people leading a gluten free lifestyle!

    GREAT List and as someone who is still new to GF life because to celiac disease, this helps alot since i have been very nervous about going out to eat at all… and getting married in the wonter trying to find GF options at the place we pick has eben rough. With that said I have told about Blue Moon Evolutoin in Exeter NH and a majority of the things on their menu that are gluten free since it is a small family owned restaurant with an allergy in the family. I thought I would share 🙂

    So I learned there are 2 different “groups” to Hooters, because I printed the menu off their website (which lists all the locations) and had the manager tell me, that they were apart of the “other group” of locations. I was so annoyed nothing on their site says This applies to half our stores only!

    The Great Outdoors (sandwich/deli) has gluten free bread! They are also very diligent about cross-contamination, making sure each server on “the line” changes their gloves and knives when your sandwich gets to them.

    Jersey Mikes for Subs (sub in a tub) basically everything on your favorite sub but in a to go container. Every one I’ve been to they employees have been very conscious. The one I frequent the owners daughter has celiacs and he regularly works behind the counter and makes sure his employees understand the cross contamination issues.

    Ruby’s diner has a gluten free bun for their hamburgers – and my son doesn’t know the difference. So definitely a good choice.

    Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has ever eaten at the Hard Rock Café in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I will be going there at some point and really need some help on what I should order that would be gluten free. Do they have a gluten free menu? Or does anyone know if there are large risks of cross contamination? Any information on what to order or suggestions would be appreciated… Thank you so much!

    The Cheesecake Factory in Syracuse, NY has an amazing gluten free menu! And, they assured me that they have very strict kitchen rules involving cross-contamination.

    Mix n’ Mac is another one of my daughters favorites ( I didn’t see it listed) …
    Pretty much every dish can be made GF and it’s made in front of you…
    Although, Cheeseburger in Paradise will always be my favorite for GF dining since I know they go above and beyond to avoid any cross contamination. From seperate labeled utensils, to seperate fryers to seperate food runners. Besides they have the best GF bread I’ve ever had (:

    Wheatless just opened in Bowling Green, KY and every item is GF and safe for Celiacs. It is also peanut free and every other allergen is clearly listed on the menu. Best of all, it all tastes amazing! You wouldn’t know it was GF. I’ve been 5 times and haven’t had any Celiac reaction at all.

    *Silver Diner* has a wide variety of excellent gluten free options. Their gourmet quinoa coconut pancakes make you feel like you aren’t being punished for being unable to eat gluten. They also use organic and local produce.

    In addition, they make it easy for you to find what you can safely eat. They have one single menu with all items marked as to whether they are gluten free or not. They also have a special section on the menu that consolidates all gluten free options. http://www.silverdiner.com/menu/healthierselections

    *Travinia* Italian Kitchen is a recent discovery. They also have a wide variety of options. I was amazed that 50+% of the menu was safe. They have gluten free pasta which they will sub for any pasta dish, plus they have lots of non-pasta dishes as well. Again. all GF options are clearly marked on the single large menu. http://www.traviniaitaliankitchen.com/travinia-woodbridge-va-menu.php

    I know that there’s a difference between celiac disease and those just avoiding gluten, but quite a few of these places have trouble with cross contact. I know that at Applebees when I talked to them, they said they wouldn’t feel comfortable enough trying to feed me, just as a heads up. But, I really appreciate this list! It will help a lot of people that don’t worry about cross contact, and give a starting point to those who do. 🙂

    I know that Roja Mexican Grill and Baby Blue as well as Blue sushi will accommodate to the best of their abilities with any food allergy that anyone has. I used to work there and I now can not have gluten, soy or dairy.

    Asking at every restaurant is the key. In Southern Utah, the Denny’s in Cedar City is awesome. They are so careful. However, the two Denny’s in St George will not guarantee no cross contamination and I get sick every time.
    Costa Vida is my son’s favorite place to eat out. Everything on the menu but the flour shell is gluten free. It is so wonderful to not be limited. There is no chance of cross contamination. They wash hands, change gloves, and inform everyone in the kitchen.

    I have been to Olive Garden. They have Gluten Free Pasta. They specifically asked me if l had Celiac so the could let the prep area know to scrub things down.
    Anither good reasturant is Hu Hot. They bend over backwards for all allergies. I have shellfish and gluten and my niece has Peanut allergies. They have a list of all their sauces and what they contain allergy wise. They have special allergy bowls. The waiters let the cooks know they have allergy coming thru. They scrub a portion of the grill down. They have metal guards they put up so sayces dont get with other sauces. Fantastic.

    Hi Diamondhead Studios LLC, I’m reaching out because Glutenfreeguidehq could get featured in digital newspapers in August, this is the time when newspapers get the most traffic.

    Being mentioned by digital newspapers not only boosts the reputation of your business, it also helps to enhance your search engine rankings and gives you more credibility and trustworthiness.

    I’d like to explain how it works and how you can get publications free of charge. What phone number can I reach you at?
