Top 50 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Asheville

We've been twice and it is just so good. The gluten-free biscuits. You have to ask yourself if they really are. They are that good.

Ryan McDonald

I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit. The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly. The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place. And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates. Come check it out! Totally worth it.

Food was excellent, including the gluten free biscuits. The bacon and eggs were excellent. Seating is a little cramped.

We stopped in for an early dinner tonight. It was our first time at Nine Mile and needless to say, it was amazing. We brought some family from out of town, some with dietary restrictions, and they had plenty of options for gluten free/dairy free meals. I had the Kingston 12 (not pictured) and would highly recommend it! We will definitely be back!

DK Kirik

I will plan a trip around my ability to get their gluten free pizza. It is the absolute best I've ever had.

Kurt Lituma

Excellent service and best gluten free biscuit I've ever had!

Brittany Cochran

Amazing vegan, gluten free ice cream!! They had a big selecction or vegan and dairy ice cream. Lots of topping to choose from. I am vegan, gluten free, corn free and I got chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and had no issues. Truly delicious.

Keith Hanlon

Nice setting and gluten free deserts

Krifka Steffey

Stopped in here hoping to see some gluten free options and was surprised to find not only biscuits, but full brioche loaves! They also had THE only oatmeal cream pie I've had in over 15 years of being gluten free. Amazing!

We were seated quickly and the food came fast too. Michael was very attentive. Our whole party enjoyed our food and experience. I appreciated the gluten friendly menu and both the gf bourbon street pancakes and gf toast were delicious!

Faith Chislock

Our waitress was incredible big shout-out to Sierra she was kind helpful attentive and sweet. The gluten-free buns were very delicious. I don't prefer a sports bar type setting but other than that the Ambiance was great.

Kat Duszynski

Beautiful gluten free fried (yes fried - with a designated frier)!

Always great food and service here. As a celiac, I appreciate the car and attention the team show to label my food and offer me substitutions for the items I cannot eat. Love the southern scramble and biscuit. A thank you to Joey for taking care of me today, and the sisters who often look after me at this location

Pat Hanna

Gluten pizza out of this world. Thank you from buffalo, NY yum

Andrew Hayes

Gypsy Queen has been a favorite for a long time. They are great with allergies, and their gluten free Pita is amazing (which is rare to find). The chicken shawarma is my go-to!

Jordan Glover

We had the best meal and waitress today! Sooo much better than our Knoxville experience. Our server was very knowledgeable of our gluten free and dairy free options! Holly was truly amazing!!

Rachael Janson

Honestly, if you don't need gluten free then the food tastes good. But gluten sensitive and celiac please stay away. I got gluten and so so sick. The dish I had ordered was naturally "gluten free" and dairy free. Marked on the menu. The waitress seemed to acknowledge and act like they would be careful. Unfortunately, cross contamination happens here.

The gluten free pizza crust was delicious!

MOD pizza is easily one of the best custom pizza places around. I got to a point I was paying for thicker crust at places like Blaze Pizza but I absolutely love the thin crust at MOD because they don't burn it and the taste is amazing. A variety of topping choices and gluten-free options as well!

Ben O'Connor

Great gluten free crust

Ian O'Shaughnessy

Potatoes were amazing! Food was great and they were so accommodating to my celiac 20/10

Olivia H.

Our lunch was delicious! The restaurant and city are recovering from the hurricane, so the menu was limited, but very tasty! We had delicious salad, sweet potato fries, the soup of the day, and a BLT wrap with slaw. The salad and fries were our favorites. Great gluten free options, and a nice cafe location with patio. The staff did a great job despite the challenges they are facing. Thank you Green Sage!!! We appreciate your service and delicious food for those with allergies and dietary restrictions 😊

Went in for dinner tonight and got a table for 3 after maybe a 10 min wait, which was amazing. The host was super friendly and got us situated. Our server (Asil) greeted us with waters and sold us on hibiscus teas, stating if we didn’t like them we could swap them out. We ordered pretty quickly after. We ordered cauliflower for an appetizer, falafel gyro (gluten free) with potatoes, lamb gyro (gluten free) with a side Greek salad, and a chicken kabob platter (no dietary restrictions). I expressed our gluten sensitivity to the server. She seemed to be understanding of what we needed. After that she never came back except to drop the dishes and I mean literally drop. Halfway off the table. No check back, no water refills, nothing. I realized upon trying my salad there were croutons, which I can’t have. We waited, waited and waited. The whole table finished everything (minus my salad) and still no sign of our server. It wasn’t until another server overheard me say “I guess our server forgot us?” that anyone checked back at all. She took the salad and went to correct it. We sat there a while longer and then our server finally came over. I explained the salad issue. She said “yeah the salad has croutons” like I was supposed to know that even after a full discussion about me being gluten sensitive. She eventually came back with the salad…dropping it as if I was wrong for having an issue. It was almost confrontational. I’m not sure how else to describe it. Everyone else at the table had long since finished their meals so I asked for a box. She stormed back over with 4 boxes. “I brought different sizes because I don’t know what you need.” Over the treatment from the server, who literally didn’t provide service throughout the entire meal, I got up and brought her my card. I asked “have I offended you in some way?” A nearby server promptly quipped “no one’s offended we’re just really busy” to which our server said “yeah I was just really nervous because your salad was taking so long.” I responded stating she never checked on us once… Long story short…the food was excellent…BEWARE if you have dietary restrictions though….the service however was so poor that at that price point we won’t be back.

Just had an unforgettable meal at Gemelli’s in Asheville and had to share! If you’re craving authentic Italian—think house-made pastas, risottos, and desserts that taste like they came straight from Italy—this is the spot. The atmosphere is cozy and European-inspired, perfect for a date night or family dinner. Favorites from our table: the cacio e pepe, calabrian scampi, and the cannoli (seriously, don’t skip dessert!). The staff is warm and attentive, and they offer gluten-free options too. Bonus: prices are reasonable for the quality, and there’s plenty of parking. Highly recommend Gemelli’s for anyone looking for a true Italian experience right here in Asheville! 🇮🇹✨

MaryAnn Barnes

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Christine Rotondo

Short Street Cakes provided us with the most delicious gluten-free sheet cake for our wedding. So good, nobody could tell it was gluten-free. The lemon filling was rich. Their communication was excellent!

Андрей Соколов

This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I had a misunderstanding with the waiter, but the way they handled it was beyond unacceptable. I specifically mentioned that I’m gluten-free, but they still brought me soup with gluten noodles. I assumed they would substitute it with rice noodles, as that’s a common practice in most decent restaurants. When the soup arrived, I politely informed the waiter that I couldn’t eat gluten and wouldn’t eat the soup, as I hadn’t even touched it. I asked for a replacement, but instead of accommodating my dietary restriction, the waiter rudely responded, “That’s your problem, you have to pay for the soup,” and then walked away without offering any solutions. The service was absolutely horrendous. They didn’t care about my dietary needs or the mistake they made. The staff here clearly doesn’t care about their customers at all. If you have any dietary restrictions, be prepared to be treated like it’s your fault. You’ll be forced to pay for food you can’t eat, and they’ll just shrug and tell you it’s not their problem before walking away. I will NEVER come back to this restaurant again. Avoid this place at all costs if you value basic respect and decent service.

Best salmon I've eaten in a decade! How do you do what you do? I'm a 35+ year local, and from day one onward, the food is always excellent! I was so delighted by the many gluten free entree options, and the best treat was the *gluten-free* fried green tomatoes (which my husband and cousin always order everywhere we go, but I am unable to enjoy, myself) I had 2 all for myself since I never get to have any, and everyone agreed the were the best they'd had, anywhere! YUM!

April Flowers

Delicious!! We got a regular pie and a gluten free pie. Both were so good! We are from NY, and this is the closest pizza we’ve had that taste like New York pizza!!

Mary Mayes

Jax Hammond

Thank you Vinnie's for having Gluten Free pasta and for having the option to prepare the Chicken Marsala gf! If I had known that sooner I'd come every week!

Kate Hardwick

Excellent gluten free pizza!

Mike LaBarbera

friendly staff and food was great. i briefly mentioned it was my girlfriends birthday and they surprised us both with this. very nice. gluten free options which is a plus

Lorna Festa Hanson

A lovely spot in the vibrant and rebuilding Ruver Arts District. Great espresso and fabulous baked goods. Try the gluten-free macarons.

Sebastian Finch

Came here on Friday night, and it was a little sleepy. The staff were fantastically friendly, and the pizzas came out quick! Sat on their patio, and had a one regular pizza and one gluten free. They warm you the gluten free dough edges come out a little charred, but I wouldn't have known the difference otherwise! Good beer, good pizzas, good staff, what's not to like?

Lo Hd

Buffet food is excellent& yummy server yatin help us for vegan & gluten free food thanks for plenty of choice

Angie Pangie

As someone who has been gluten free for 10 years due to severe reactions to it, I was thrilled to find this place which serves all gluten free beverages and snacks! My husband and I each enjoyed a flight and also picked up several 4 packs to go. I wish I lived closer! Gluten free options are difficult to find and I've had my share of seltzers and ciders. These do not disappoint! I most definitely will be stopping in each time i make it to Asheville!

Laurie Tollman

Excellent quality "fast " food. I've eaten here many times. They have a variety of options, including vegan and gluten-free. Inside dining can be noisy. Outdoor dining in the backyard is preferable if the weather is nice. There's lots of picnic tables with umbrellas.

Bill L

Went there for a bite to eat before seeing a show nearby. There's a great selection of tacos, along with gluten-free & dairy free options for them. All of them were excellent! Plenty of seating, friendly & prompt service. We'll be back again!

Andy Smith

Staff was careful with my gluten allergy. And the pork, chicken and brisket were all delicious.

Randy Archer

Sunny C

Absolutely loved the buffet so many options if you are a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. The ambiance is so cozy and service was on point. Loved the watermelon juice it’s at the bar.

Bill L

Excellent place with lots of great options for vegan, gluten-free pastries. Only issue is few parking spots.

Ashly Ulrich

Excellent! This was my first visit to Tupelo Honey, but so many people have told me how delicious their food is - and boy were they right! They have a great selection of menu items with plenty of choices for people who are gluten free. They also have delicious mocktails and a substantial bar menu. We went for brunch on New Year's Day, so it was probably more busy than it would typically be - but we only had to wait a short time before getting a table and enjoying our brunch.

Michelle Pierce

While I have been gifted treats from here, this was my first time visiting for myself. We opted for the drive thru window. We had to wait a few minutes for service. There appeared to just be one person helping people inside as well as the drive thru. The wait gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted. There was a handwritten chalkboard with all of the menu items for the day. Unfortunately the regular breakfast cookies, which are our go-to, were sold out. My son did snag the last gluten free breakfast cookie. My daughter opted for a blueberry muffin while I had the pineapple banana bread. Both were good but not quite as good as our usual breakfast cookies. The gluten free breakfast cookie was put in a bag along with the non-gluten free items, which was a little concerning. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to support a small business and look forward to returning again!

Phoebe Isaacs

This place smelled amazing before you ever go inside! The flavors are outstanding! Celiacs rejoice! Asian we can eat! This establishment uses the traditional tamari gluten free soy sauce and has rice noodles. Pad See Ew and Thai tea made my afternoon. The portions are HUGE in a laid back, casual, fun atmosphere.

Dawn Holland

I bought a gluten free peach pie that was recommended to me by the staff, and it was tasteless and disappointing to serve to my guests.
