Top 39 Gluten-Free American Diners to Explore in Kentucky

This was lovely. As a human with gluten intolerance it gets old feeling like I have to apologize for asking what the ingredients are and explaining why and what half the time in restaurants. Here, everything is clearly marked, our waiter asked about preferences right up front and was able to say what menu items to avoid and how other menu items could be easily modified. He was fantastic. The food and cocktails were delicious as was the ambience.

Found this gem while traveling from Gatlinburg, TN to Chicago, IL. I LOVE BBQ and I am also gluten intolerant, so this was an oasis in a sea of McD’s and Taco Hell’s 😜 Try the Spicy Sweet BBQ, so good! All sauces and seasonings are made in-house and gluten free 🙌🏻 Gluten free buns weren’t dry like I usually encounter. Tator tots were crispy bites of perfection! I can’t say one bad thing about the place. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive! Offered multiple refills and to-go cups… that’s unheard of in Chicago! Definitely coming back next time we’re in the area! Thanks for a great meal!! Note: I got the BBQ pulled pork and topped it with coleslaw. My husband got the BBQ ranch burger and he said it was amazing (and he is quite picky). We both cleaned our plates!

Service and atmosphere of the bar was great! Very nice people. The regular bread sliders were pretty good (I'm told). The gluten free bread was just okay. Taste and texture akin to an undercooked homemade biscuit, but it was certainly better than no option at all! We had banana pork, halloumi, and venison & pork. The pork was the standout - very good! I can only imagine how delicious the pork belly is. They have gf fryers for the tators and fries, but everything else is fried in the shared fryer. There were a couple options that were technically gf but were in the shared fryer; so they were cross contaminated. Service staff were great! They answered all my questions and were very accommodating. Not sure why Google lists this as a "new American" restaurant. It seems to very clearly be a Nordic restaurant of some sort...?

This is my kids favorite restaurant. It’s one of the few places where we can find a gluten free burger and gluten free fries. All servers are great but Mina has always been super attentive, efficient and friendly.

Maggie Groff

Always a delicious meal here! Their prix fixe is an amazing deal and they have plenty of gluten free options! Perfect for a date night.

Olivia was a great waitress and very knowledgeable helping my daughter and I navigate the menu for gluten free food options. We appreciated her help and honesty. It would be great for the restaurant to actually have dedicated fryers for their gf options and make it safe for all who dine, including those with Celiac Disease. Thanks Olivia for keeping us safe!

Absolutely EXCELLENT Food with a big focus on Gluten Free. Wonderful Beer and Bourbon selection in a great atmosphere with wonderful servers.

Always amazing; staff, food, service, clean facility! We love to go here b/c of the gluten free options and the burgers are just that good!

Mindi McKinney

The best place to eat with allergies! The food is amazing and the staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to allergy safety! I felt like they actually cared! Even my family loved the food! Truly a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience! So excited to find they have one back home where we live also! This is now at the top of my list of favorite places to eat!

Place was great and they even had a gluten free bun! Burgers cooked perfect, sweet potato fries are fantastic.

J Flummy

I love Reuban sandwiches and they not only had it on their menu, but they also have gluten-free bread. (Win'win1😁) The sandwich was delicious. The fries were not hot. In fact, they were barely warm. I would try this restaurant again.

Doc Crow’s has the most number of reviews (+4,000 as of 4/2025) and they are all consistently high. Plus, I was in a hotel around the corner - definitely had to stop by. Ate at the bar. Great atmosphere - plenty of bourbon and beer for you to choose from. They have a dedicated gluten free menu - a photo is attached. All the meats and the obvious sides are okay - as are the wings. Got the wings and the ribs. I did politely ask if I could sample a small piece of brisket and was told my only option was to “order the sampler platter.” It’s great that they have that - but I’m not interested in sampling pulled pork or chicken. My preference is beef brisket and ribs. The ribs fell off the bone. The wings were good - nothing special. The baked beans were really good. The guy next to me was unhappy with the food, as he doesn’t like dry rub style and prefers lots of sauce, and he doesn’t like fatty brisket - they charge $2 for lean brisket and I guess he didn’t go for it. Again, I didn’t get to try the brisket and there is no ability to order just meat, and there are no 2 or 3 meat combo plates.

Rhonda was a great server attentive and quick to ask if we needed anything. The portions were generous and we received our food fast! The fried chicken and waffles were great! Also they had gluten free options which makes this a place we can go with all of our family! That was a really nice surprise!

We always love Culver's! Great food & shakes 😋. I also love that they have gluten-free buns & a dedicated fryer for those with Celiac & gluten intolerance issues.

Joanne Andres

Great place. Delicious menu with gluten free bread.

Angela DeVisser

This is mine and my daughter's favorite restaurant! My daughter usually gets the Ole Prospector and I love their gluten-free pizzas!!!! If you stop by, ask for Jasmine, she's our favorite server 🥰

The use of the building is pretty cool. Bar is hidden somewhat from main dining area. Food presentation is cool. Had the eggs to start. They were vey good with a tangy taste. Ordered a poutine to split. Came out in a large bowl. Unfortunately the burnt ends were laden with nothing but salt and made this inedible. Sent it back and it was replaced with cornbread at no charge( nice call on management to make things right). The cornbread was good but not to my liking. No sweetness of corn or even a hint of it mostly cornmeal taste. I felt like I was eating Bobs Red Mill gluten free product and was turned off. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes were the highlight especially the gravy. Both well done. Our waitress was younger and absent most of the meal but could be seen hanging out behind the wall at the bar area. I would return if back in the area to try again.

The food was lackluster, my tacos were dry, and the flavors were just ok. The service was absolutely minimal, a little snippy at the register and food delivery was fine. The atmosphere is loud, and kinda worn out but clean. I thought this place was great when it opened. I went every week, but I became gluten intolerant and they only have 3 tacos that I can eat, so I've only come back a couple of times. Both visits in the last year were like this so I feel fine saying that it's mediocre.

Food was great but at this particular location they do NOT have dedicated pans and fryers unlike the app says they do. They have lots of gluten free options and are very understanding and accommodating, but also are upfront about how their food is handled. They had a sign talking about their policies and that there is a risk of cross contamination. The information on Atly is incorrect, but they do have tasty gluten free food. Just a decent risk of cross contamination.

Caitlin was an EXCELLENT sever, and it was funny to try all the sauces. Very good GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS. Big plus! Big fan of the smoky ketchup and the campfire mayo. The queso is some of the best american restaurant queso i’ve had recently, and they gave such a big bowl. Chips were great too!

The food was good, but the pricing seemed a little ridiculous. $16 for the Southern burger was a lot. Okay, it's "wagyu beef," but once you grind it up, you've lost the benefit of it anyway. And it's got brisket on there, too - which you can't really even taste, competing with all the other flavors. Add $2 for a gluten free bun. Usually after you're paying a certain amount for your food, they're willing to accommodate you. Add $4 for "premium sides"? That sounds like a big upcharge. Maybe they're really exciting? No - sweet potato fries are a premium side! Suddenly this burger is $22, which seems considerably less reasonable. Seems like you're paying for the idea that it's an "upscale" place, without the benefits that should go with that.

I had a wonderful experience here last weekend! With Celiac disease it's sometimes hard to find a place that's safe for me to eat, but the server and the manager of Proof On Main both assured me of how seriously they take food allergies. It meant the world for the manager to take the time to speak with us. My meal was delicious and it was even better knowing that they care about food allergy safety! Next time I'm in the city we will definitely be back.

Samantha Whitaker

Great food, great service! Love coming here! Kara was our server/bartender, she did a fantastic job. I had the mini-mag nachos, which I loved, they're like loaded bbq nachos. My friend got the fire grilled shrimp and we shared. The manager, Billy, came out to check on us while we ate and made sure we were enjoying everything. I'm gluten free and not only does the menu clearly mark what I can eat, but Billy and Kara were both able to help me. Super impressed.

The family was excited to have individually wrapped gluten-free burger buns for their excellent burgers. The fries were a bit salty, but otherwise great and thicker cut than the average burger joint. The shakes, etc. were good enough that we went back for more the following morning after we checked out of a local hotel! The restaurant appears to have a good reputation in the local community and works with local good causes.

Server was really friendly, and food was reasonably priced. Great gluten free options!

Katie Ryan Fotiadis

They were incredible to work with on dietary needs for food allergies. Delicious gluten and dairy free options that felt like I was fully participating in all the restaurant has to offer (from appetizers to dessert)! I was blown away that they offered me a dedicated fryer so that I could have soft shell fried crab for the first time, as well as yucca fries. I felt delightfully indulged and will definitely go back! We had a group of 10+ and they handled it with no issues: food came out timely, correct, and hot.

Deserves every 5 star review on here. The Reuben is amazing. House chips are the best I’ve had. Gluten Free bread if you need it. Very accommodating and friendly staff.

Hailey Ausbrooks

This was my first time at Fords Garage and our server Maddy was absolutely phenomenal. She was always smiling and definitely made me feel welcome here! We even joked around and the service was super quick! The food overall was great too! They had gluten free options which was a bonus! I ordered the Ford’s signature burger and fries and it was probably one of the best burgers I have had. My significant other also got the same burger and on the regular buns they have the fords signature stamp on them (photo). I loved the atmosphere and the decorations and will say that this restaurant is definitely unique!

Jennifer J.

I tried it today but definitely got glutened! I ordered a butter burger with a gluten free bun and a side salad. My tummy is VERY upset an hour or so after eating it😩😩😩

Truly can't say enough about this place. Food, cocktails, service, ambiance are all 10/10. We have a celiac/gluten free in the family and they always are very careful in food prep!! Super accommodating to all meal preferences. A spectacular meal every time you go, with an every changing list for food and cocktails, its worth a trip several times a year.
