Top 10 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in Jacksonville

Marina Hirshfield

Epik staff take allergies quite seriously. While they don’t have a dedicated space. They changed gloves and tried led up the paper on the work surface. They also changed out cooking equipment. There was an error on the milkshake and it was handled in such a respectful way. But the best part was the BUN on the burger. I got a juicy burger and the bun didn’t fall apart. Better news is they are opening a second location in the Nocatee area?

I'm not a big chain restaurant fan, however, True Food kitchen is an exception. It really is whole food. I appreciate that there are several vegan and gluten-free options. The butternut squash soup and the hot tulsi ginger and tea are somethings I always look forward to.

10/10 new fav spot! We needed a healthy lunch spot. So glad we found this amazing place!! My daughter had spicy chicken hummus and cucumber salad! Both so good and full of flavor. I had the chicken sandwich on Gluten Free bun! So happy to find our new favorite lunch spot.

I have reviewed this exact location before and gave it five stars but I need to update it. It’s only worth three. Food wasn’t nearly half as good as it was last time. The sausage was dried out. The pancakes were average. I got the peach ones that were on special this month. My wife had gluten pre-pancakes, which were OK for gluten-free. Let’s be real here. But the waiter was rude. He was normally rude to us. He was rude to other people and they may be shortstaffed, but there’s no excuse to treat people like that. They need to be knocked down a notch accordingly.

O what an incredible meal we had at Cooper's Hawk! I'd seen a few people mention it in a local fb group and decided to take hubby for his birthday. He often eats gf to keep me safe and we had so many options! They mentioned they just overhauled their gluten-free procedures not long ago and I felt very confident in all of our meal. Everything is made from scratch. Started with a warm gf roll and butter Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Hubby's Plate: Blue Cheese Burger w/ Fries My Plate: Cilantro Ranch Chicken Sandwich w/ Fries Dessert: Truffles (as a birthday gift from Cooper's Hawk) The bacon wrapped shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal as the taste was one that just lingered. I mean fabulous. Just an incredible meal with great service and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Also loved our server Christine.

Great views of the water, the fried shrimp and cod were great and the halibut and salmon were perfect. Knowledgeable staff for food allergies. A family member has Celiac and our server talked through cross contamination and ingredient concerns. The gluten free fried batter is one of the best we have had. Above and beyond service: my toddler dropped a toy and a staff member picked it up before I could see where it went.

Our waitress Kate was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable about the gluten-free options and the kitchen procedures to make sure the food was celiac safe. She was also very kind and the service was amazing!

We stopped for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the great food and service. Our server, Matt, recommended the Bison Burger, Avalon, and it was delicious. It’s nice to have gluten free dining options, too.

Very full Gluten Free menu and a dedicated fryer

My Mom and I love coming to Vale Foods!! They have many gluten and dairy free options!! My favorite bowl is sweet potato noodles, broccoli sweet potatoes, vale sauce, avocado, and vale sauce!! The employees are so friendly and nice!!

Suzan Bryant

We always have a great experience. The gluten free bun is one of the best available 😋

They have the best eggs Benedict around! Everything I've tried is amazing. I was shocked that I think I liked their gluten free pancakes better than their regular ones!

I fell in love with both the neighborhood and the restaurant. Their food is so good, and I can order almost anything I like due to the gluten free friendly substitutions. Instead of breaded chickun they grilled my soy curls unbreaded, substituted their house patty that has gluten for a Beyond burger, and served me both on GF buns. I was ecstatic!!! A restaurant where I can enjoy Plant-Based Comfort Food, then enjoy the fantastic nearby shops (I’ll share in upcoming posts) is everything my heart desires. 🥰 FYI: I caution anyone with Celiac’s disease that cross contamination is possible, and the fryer/grill are shared. Gluten Free Fried Pickles: This was the #1 reason I wanted to eat here. Yes, their menu is amazing, but I wasn’t sure I could enjoy much even with a gluten free bun as an option. However, fried pickles have long been a favorite that I haven’t enjoyed in almost a decade, and this is the first restaurant I’ve seen that has them. They were so good, I would order them, even if they didn’t have anything else I could eat. But, thankfully, they do! I had these as a side for the Buffalo Ranch Chickun, specifically prepared to be gluten friendly, per my request. It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to eat it again! I'm also looking forward to another Black Cherry Tarragon Stubborn Soda because it was delicious. Murray Hillbilly has a laid-back atmosphere with books to read and games to play while you wait for your food. There’s even a small assortment of items to buy including t-shirts, hand-crafted hats, and a variety of eco-friendly items. I had to try on the crochet hats. They were absolutely adorable, and for those who don’t know I used to not be able to wear hats because I had too much hair. 😆 I loved that each one was different not just in color but in style, and it was neat to see how they each looked on me. Perhaps next time I’ll leave with one.

The food and service is absolutely amazing here!!! Today our server John, was a delight and made sure we had everything we could possibly need (and more) at all times. I got the lamb and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The Tuna Tar Tar starter is so fresh and delicious! (as well as everything on the menu) My hubby and MIL got the cedar planked salmon and loved it! They are also great at accommodating with allergy’s— I knew I didn’t need to worry with my gluten intolerance. This is our second time and we definitely will be back again!!

We stopped by another Broken Egg Café on a whim one morning. My gluten-free pancakes were very light and fluffy; I would definitely order those again. The sausage and eggs were also very tasty. However, the city grits were quite loose and more watery than I expected, so I probably wouldn’t choose those again. We also tried the spiked coffee, which was a bit strong; I think a little less alcohol would have improved it, as it was barely drinkable. We mentioned this to the waitress, and she noted that she tends to pour heavily, so if you enjoy a stronger drink, the spiked coffee might be for you. All in all, it was a good breakfast for a quick bite.

When you initially come into the restaurant, you order and are given a buzzer; this is perfect because it eliminates a wait staff rushing you to turn a table, allowing you to enjoy your meal with your family or friends. The restaurant is perfect for large families or solo dining. The portions and quality are worth the price; you feel satisfied without feeling like you overate. Best part, they ask you what temperature you'd like your burger! Can't go wrong with their Cajun burger or Cajun and jack chicken sandwich, that seasoning is magic! My friends typically get a personal pinsa and a side salad, so i'm happy that there are options for my vegetarian and gluten free, lunch group.

Brooklyn was our server. She was incredible. Knowledgeable on the menu and very quick to recommend alternatives for my wife who has celiacs disease.

This was my second time going to Coopers Hawk in Mandarin and it was even more amazing than the first. I was with my daughter, her husband, and 4 kids ages 7 to 15. Parking is a breeze, we were seated quickly, and greeted by our waitress, Leslie, right away. Leslie was perky and informative and unfriendly and attentive. She made sure to give the kids attention and even catered to my gluten free granddaughter. They have a great gluten free menu! All of the food came out hot and tasted amazing. My daughter and I got a flight of wine, which was amazing and a great price, and Leslie was great at helping us pick out what we liked! There was a minor mix up on my daughter’s plate which was very quickly and easily rectified! I would highly recommend going here. And you’ll be blessed to get Leslie to wait for you!

Amanda Suter

Mia was especially helpful when we were choosing our beverages. She also gave a great gluten free option!

Linda Jennings

Very clean restaurant, great wait staff that were knowledgeable about gluten free requirement. Food was very good, reasonably priced. Will be returning!

A. Cook

Always great to eat there. I know the crowds are painful right now, but something’s are worth the wait. Having a burger on a gluten free bun makes this place even more special!

My sister and came here Dec 12 2024 as she recommended this place. We got hungry and waited on my sister's car to be fixed down the road. Beautiful decor as we walked in and clean. Right away we grab the menu, took a seat, chose our food then walked to register and ordered. Chose blue cheese chips(reccomend) and rosemary chips(tasted like reg potatoe chips). You get alot. Chose soup of the day bowl which was my favorite Italian wedding soup😋lovely suprise. Sis chose cup of onion cheesy soup. Looked delicious. We thought we ordered 2 side salads but they were big and fresh. Could of used more salad dressing next time. In all not bad 2 soups, 2 salads, 2 chips and 2 drinks for $45. Noticed business people stop by here and families as well. They do have kids menu and baby changing station here. There's gluten free and vegan options as well on menu. Would love to come back and try their pizzas and sandwhiches.

The staff is extremely well trained in gluten and cross-contamination. They go the extra mile to clear a space while preparing your food. They will even breakdown the ingredients. They have 2 different gluten free breads. The best part is the gluten free brownies at the front counter. The chicken salad and potato salad are hugs.

I had a very well educated server who was able to make tons of suggestions. They do have gluten free bagels that aren’t listed on the menu. Do not order the hollandaise sauce. They were very accommodating regarding requests and questions
