Top 38 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Louisville

Julie Harwood

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.

Great spot, amazing food. Great presentation, atmosphere is solid. Would gladly go back. Multiple gluten free options.

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...?

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

Suzanne Andrew

Shelby (with the awesome hair) was our server on our first visit. She helped us pick menu items that could be adjusted to be gluten-free, and she was spot-on about the amount of food two ladies needed for lunch. Appreciated that!

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.

Yum, yum, yum! They sat us in less than a min after walking in the door even though it was busy, huge gluten free menu, Rachel was super friendly, the food was so fast and so yummy! Definitely would recommend!

Jessica Hoffman

So good! Easy to do gluten free. Great atmosphere. Spacious seating. Indoor and outdoor options available during warm months. Good food!

Kaila Ryan

I have a gluten sensitivity so I really enjoy that they have gluten free buns for their burgers.

Ogechukwu Tabugbo

I really enjoyed the food! The service was kind of slow because it was only one waiter for my party of 20! But I appreciated the gluten free options for my friends. I would definitely visit again. Only negative is the bourbon maple syrup had way too much bourbon…if you’re a bourbon person, then you’ll like it. I didn’t it.

Megan Forbes

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.

Christiane Sehlinger

Be prepared to spend money, but be prepared to eat in one of the finest restaurants in Louisville. The food is exceptional. Service is impeccable. Our waiter overheard us discussing our future grandchild (due 2023) and presented the expectant parents with a cute onesie and bibs. My husband has gluten allergies and they immediately presented him with a gluten free menu. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend this restaurant.

Brian Jenkins

Not a bad place to eat, burgers are delicious but they barely ever get my wife’s order right. She is a celiac patient and I express to them a gluten free bun they usually get that right but I always say Red Robin gourmet burger the last 2 out of 3 times they got the gluten free bun but the wrong burger. I say the burger 3 to 4 times they still got it wrong

Pat Leenerts

Key West Chicken and Shrimp (gluten free option) with awesome fresh pico. It was amazing. I talked about it so much that others at the table wished they had ordered.

Alex Milan

Gluten free breakfast! I was so happy to find this place during my stay. It was pricey but, I had a kale and tomato omelette, gluten free toast (toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven to avoid the toaster) and mint berries. Worth the money and I did not feel sick!

Crystal

Enchiladas are gluten free. So are the chips with the white dipping sauce.

Jacob Robertson

I cannot recommend le moo highly enough. The atmosphere is amazing. I’d call it hunting lodge chic. The furnishing are stylish and comfortable. Our server was polite and attentive. My wife and I were in on a Monday morning, so it was pretty slow. I got the steak and eggs (Supremoo) and a plain waffle. She had the love love me do. The food was outstanding. Mine was a great cut and perfectly cooked medium as I ordered. The eggs were cooked to sunny exctly and were nice and runny. There were plenty of gluten free options, as well. My wife doesn’t tolerate gluten well, so that was really important to us. I hope to be back!

Love Biscuit Belly! They even have some delicious gluten free bowls and sides for us allergy people 😊

Kaylie Plauche

I don’t give out a lot of raving reviews - but as soon as I took my first bite of their gluten free Rueben, I knew this would be receiving one! This space used to be the the Silly axe cafe so when I saw that Good Belly opened here I had high hopes for them to do well, and after my first meal I think they’re going to exceed expectations! My boyfriend got the hot ham and pineapple sandwich special and I got the Rueben with both pastrami and corned beef on gluten-free bread that comes with some crispy and delicious house made chips and a spear pickle. The black cherry soda was also delicious. We spent about $55 between the two of us (each entree was about $16.50 and sodas are $3 plus tax and tip). For the price tag, we felt it should be exceptionally good - and one bite in, it lived up to the hype! This is a must eat! So good, didn’t even have time to take a photo 😂

Game? Wow. Really surprised in a good way. So you'd think this was just something they do to draw attention to themselves... In reality it's an amazing kitchen knocking it out of the park with their menu. We had a motley of meatballs across the spectrum of animals. All of which were amazing. Then there is the duck fat fryer for your fries and even brussel sprouts. Did I mention this was all gluten free. That means no fillers. Just all high quality foods. Great service. Amazing kitchen. Fun place. I posted a picture of all the animals they serve. If you're in Louisville and don't want to break the bank but want to have great night, come here. Seriously, you want regret it... if you found this review helpful please like it.

Traditional Southern soul food unvarnished without pretense. Served to you hot and delicious by the lady who made it who also owns the place that carries her name. I ordered the slow cooked and tender "Trotter" also k own as a pig's foot. It was piping hot and delicious ( never low cal, never low cholesterol, never low fat but always gluten free!) I took Greens as my side. Greens here come with fresh tomato and onion, which is a variation on greens I've not had before. The greens were excellent with or without the tomatoes and onions. I gift recommend the sweet tea too.

I ordered breakfast for takeaway. It was simple: over easy eggs, bacon, turkey bacon, & gluten free English muffin. My food was still hot when I got to my destination. The bacon was very tasty. I've had better turkey bacon but it wasn't bad. The gluten free English muffin was fine. It was my 1st.

Sharon Nassar

Stopped in with out of town guests. The food was amazing! Southern home cooking. The chicken blt was a hit , for me. The fried chicken went over very well with the horseradish mash potatoes. We tried several of the sides. Our bartender and waiter made the whole experience that much better. They were great! Lots of gluten free options.

Kara Knorr

Almost all their dishes are gluten free or can be customized gluten free. The brussel sprouts are a must. I know what you are thinking brussel sprouts?!?!? But seriously no one does Brussel Sprouts like Varanese

Beverly He

Omg...the food is amazing. I had the hot brown biscuit and I cannot rave about it enough! They have gluten-free and vegetarian options and my son who is dairy sensitive got his without the cheese and he really liked his too. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Cassandra Neal

Grace

Loved the atmosphere! Perfect spot for a date 🩷 i had the tomato basil artichoke soup and the highland morning salad and they were delicious!! The soup was one of the best gluten-free soups I've ever eaten! Staff is also very friendly & food arrives with great timing! Loved it here!!

Angela Gramer

Food was great except for the gluten free bun. My daughter did not care for it. She did enjoy the meat and fries.

Christine Melvin

Wendy Batdorf

Yummy food. Wish they had more gluten free options like for pizza & burgers

Libby Berman

A celiac can eat here- the hard shell tacos are gluten free. Fast service; the staff will work with you on dietary issues. The bowls are gluten free as well. I am hoping the tortilla breaded items are- if they use hard shell. And now they serve hot coffee. I want to go back.

Stavan Bhatt

It's a good, just needs more options with poultry and fish to balance pork and beef as well as dairy and gluten tolerant folks.

Katie Ryan Fotiadis

Delicious Gluten free & dairy free or vegan options!

Jon N

Stayed at hotel for a conference and went to have breakfast in the morning. They were only offering the breakfast buffet for $18 per person. I have a restrictive diet due to allergies - no gluten, eggs or dairy and so the only things I could eat at the buffet was bacon and potatoes. I asked kindly to be charged less than $18 as I would only be eating bacon and potatoes due to my allergies. They declined my request and accommodation and made no offer or alternative. My spouse would of ate the full buffet and so we would of still spent a good amount of money.... but instead went somewhere else. Wouldn’t recommend simply based off unwillingness to accommodate to people with food allergies.

Celia Hibben

Fast easy to go... Philly cheese steak hashbrown bowl... with hot sauce... gluten free. Delicious

Adam Miller

I wish our waitress Debbie was our neighbor. She was the sweetest human I've met outside of our aunt Annabelle. They are very accommodating when it comes to gluten/dairy free. Dinner was a 10. Breakfast 9.5. Service was above and beyond. Thank you once again Debbie.
