Top 18 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Boston

Bret Warren

Great food. Very easy to order online and identify food allergies.

Samantha Patterson

Having visited this establishment on several occasions, I have consistently found the food to be delightful. My nephew and I often encounter challenges in locating dining options that cater to our dietary needs, as he has a gluten allergy and I have a dairy allergy. However, the staff here have always been incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating. The food is consistently served promptly and prepared to perfection. I would certainly recommend this place for a quick and enjoyable meal.

Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!

Erica Marinaro

Delicious burger and the bun was tasty. Had a side salad. It hit the spot!

Dan Weller

This place is so good and takes lobster rolls very seriously. They respected my girlfriend's gluten allergy, and that was huge. We loved it!

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

Coming from Chicago, we've been struggling to find a proper brunch experience in the Boston area (meaning elevated breakfast dishes, with interesting ingredients that are both delicious and well made). The search is over! This place is excellent with great food, a marvelous atmosphere and great service. Plan for reservations, though, as this place is popular! They also did a phenomenal job accommodating gluten free with a lot of care for cross contamination.

I recently dined at Boston Ale House and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, offering a diverse range of options, including impressive gluten-free choices. The ambience was welcoming and enhanced the overall dining atmosphere. A special shoutout to our waitress, Juliana, whose exceptional service and attentiveness added to the enjoyment of our evening. Highly recommend this place for a satisfying dining experience.

This place was amazing especially for people with gluten and dairy allergies. It's like a Chipotle styled home-cooked meal is the best way I could describe it. Staff is friendly food is great overall and awesome take out spot.

Went here for a lunch-dinner date after a hospital appointment and got steak to celebrate some good health. It was so good! Shoutout to the dedicated gluten free menu, which was very helpful. It’s not cheap — if you order apps and mains you’ll find yourself racking up a bill. I split an app (the gf buffalo cauliflower for $16 I believe) with my boyfriend and we each got an entree and a drink and the bill was about $100 after tip. But damn was that steak good

If I could give this 10 stars I would. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have celiac and I need to eat fully gluten free and I felt safe here. They marked up their normal menu with all of the naturally gluten free items I could eat, which was about 80% of the menu including desserts. It was delicious and made even better by being allergen friendly.

Stopped in on a Saturday night, expecting it would be packed. It was, but we were still seated very quickly. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was friendly. Despite several large parties seated near us, our food was also brought out quickly. Since we were going to a show after at the House of Blues, it was an added bonus that they had tablets to check out with on the table. Convenient walk to the House of Blues from Yard House. Normally, eating out without plans to head directly home is a risk for me (gluten sensitivity). Food from Yard House was fresh, had a ton of flavor, and the BBQ chicken Salad gave me no stomach unrest at all. I will likely make this a regular stop when I go to shows.

Perfect place for great american food. It can get awfully loud especially if you aren’t sitting at the bar. Great place to please all types of eaters. Great place to bring your gluten free friends as well.

Jessica was great! Super sweet and helpful with finding gluten free food options.

Sean Michael Walsh Connolly

The best hidden gem in Boston. Do accomdate gluten sensitive, do not have gluten free pasta though, do have amazing pasta dishes.

The food was food except they need to be schooled on how to make beans. The beans tasted like they came out of a can. Not saying that's terrible but coming from the Midwest and being a BBQ country, beans also have to be on point. They can't be an after thought. 😁 Other than that, the burgers we had were great. Their homemade chips were good. They were able to accommodate my gluten intolerance needs. Service was excellent.

A fun place to have dinner with nice ambiance. We really enjoyed listening to the good live jazz band. The Gluten free fish and chips were delicious and the fryer was celiac safe. Our waitress was attentive and helpful when asked about the gf menu.

Very good chain, plenty of gluten free choices, the cakes are...rich

Carlie McClinsey

Dig is a great fast casual option if you’re looking for food that’s isn’t super processed and filled with veggies! As a gluten free person, I feel good eating here and appreciate their attention to detail. The workers are also the friendliest and always brighten my day!

D Dopfel

The Westland had great service, a nice festive atmosphere, and decent food for a no frills brunch. Chose to go here for given the cozy and festive decor that was perfect to catch up with friends just after the new year. The food was nothing too fancy and decent overall. Seems like a few dishes can be hit or miss, e.g. the cinnamon bun was a bit over toasted and not great. Might have been a mistake with the one. One of the best gluten free buns I've had dining out and had no issues with gluten exposure.

Clam chowder was good and it was gluten free. Service was slow. Glad we had a long layover. They took a long time to come take our order. Didn't even refill our water.

They are all fabulous!! They also have sweet potato fries which are the bees knees! Enjoy!!

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

We hosted a jack & jill baby shower for our daughter and son-in-law on Cunard Tavern's roof deck. Ours was the first roof event this 2025 season. The weather was great, food & drinks fantastic, and service top notch. You couldn't ask for a better venue for a small private party (we had 30ish people but their capacity is a bit more). Emily and John met us in advance of the party to talk about the set-up and food options. I could go on and on how good the food was (stand outs were the mortadella boa buns, shrimp cocktail, Mexican street corn, brussels and the freshest veggie crudité than I've seen in a long time... but there was so much more good food in addition to these!). Emily staged the food so that the buffet-style table was constantly replenished with more food and options. Our daughter is a vegetarian (and a few guests are gluten/dairy/nut free) and the staff were incredibly conscientious with these concerns. The bar is just as awesome... they have a roll-up window so your guests are not waiting on drink service as it is "manned" full time for your event. Sam did a wonderful job, and my guests loved their beverages (both alcohol-based and mocktails). Finally, the view from the roof is beautiful as you can see the water from their location. We chose to use the retractable awning because the weather was hot and sunny in the afternoon, but you can certainly go without for a night time event. Finally, this venue is one block from Tall Ship so it's easy to keep the party going:)

Positive experience for someone with Celiac. The staff were very knowledgeable and ensured the chefs would follow contact safe cooking methods. They do not have a GF safe fryer. The food was absolutely delicious, although the plates were small in portion size. Overall, a safe and delicious experience.

Chili was mostly tomatoes and peppers. Caprese sandwich was good, but soggy. Mediocre GF bread. GF macaroon was good, sugary, and right next to the gluten brownies.
