Top 50 Gluten-Free American Diners Across Texas

Lyndon Dueck

We have recently started frequenting In N Out, and have enjoyed them a lot! They don't have a lot of menu options, but they excel at the items they offer. Pricing is affordable in today's age. They offer bunless burgers, which is amazing for people with gluten intolerance, or those looking to reduce carb intake.

Great with the order once we requested allergy protocols for gluten-free food handling for a celiac kid; even traded out a shake when it was ordered with cookies and cream and we forgot about GF sensitivity momentarily. Great service!

Rose Punzel

The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free! The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!

Joanna Dumont

Delish!

Renee Greer

Great burger place, many options. Onion rings quite popular, also pretzel bites. All you can eat sides. Our server offered us fries up front- instead of appetizer. Burgers are customizable and all ingredients delish. Their campfire sauce is amazing! Competent friendly staff check on you without hovering. Kid friendly and I understand quite gluten friendly as well. Full bar. Loyalty program. Military discount.

Kimberly Hughes

An Austin must-dine restaurant, especially if you're into healthy eating. The food ingredients come from local Austin farms, and the menu changes seasonally. Plan to share bites and experience odd and tasty flavor combinations. Even cooler is that they are included in the goodfoodfighter.com top 15 Austin restaurants and have a gluten-free menu. Our experience, starting with the valet, hosts, and server(s) was outstanding! See ya'll again soon.

Phyllis Bell

Great food, ample servings many gluten free options including dessert

Stephanie Wong

Oustanding help from Devon and twin, espy regarding GF gluten-free food sensitivities

Megan Palmer

Almost the entire menu can be made GF. Super accommodating. Ask you right when you get there if anyone in your party has allergies, celiac, etc.

Lisa Scally

Chicken tacos but are lots of options

Victor A

I’m the most complicated individual in terms of how stringent I am with food. I look into quality ingredients, seed oil free, halal, sugar free, soy free, gluten free, grass fed butter etc & Huma & Fabian understood my language & concerns & we’re able to accommodate my every request 100%. This shall be my go to spot for late lunch or dinner. Restaurant that promote quality down to the ingredients is rare.

Sabrina Matouk

I loved that they got gluten free food

Ryan Perel

Great spot with wide selection of celiac safe eats, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Dominic McFarland

An absolute must visit if you have allergies! Especially gluten free.

Laura McKinnis

I ordered gluten free items on the menu (told the server I have Celiac - he said he had a celiac button on the register). The food did not come out with the gluten free flags. As someone with celiac, this is a great comfort to know the food was prepped with caution and not mixed up in the kitchen!

Syrene Starchilde

Love the patience and genuine friendliness of the staff, and the food was good! You can tell thought was put into texture and taste. Nice and casual spot for your omnis, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten abstaining besties.

Laurel Morris

Great Gluten Free (GF) options labeled on menu, although I wish places just had a separate GF menu. Pork chop & Peahces was phenomenal, along with the soup, Cesar salad, and meatloaf! Usually no wait so reservations not always necessary. Feels healthy.

Brennan Keller

Love this spot. Great atmosphere and fantastic food. They even have an amazing gluten free dessert that isn’t just ice cream/sorbet. Highly recommend!

Erin Zachary

I literally eat here everyday because they are one of the few restaurants with gluten sensitive options. Staff is A1 food is A1!

Michelle Wendt

Loved the gluten-free chicken.

Lawrence Powell

Great place for Tex-Mex. Lots of gluten free options.

Carolyn Barrett

Excellent food! And it is gluten free, dairy free, nut free. The nug box is a staple. The smoked chicken salad box is my personal favorite. The smoked salmon is quite good also; I recommend with the salad and rice. Food is so fresh here and the music they play is always fabulous and puts me in a good mood.

Jack Allen's is legit one of the best places in Austin. We've been a fan for years, and they've even catered our wedding back in 2011 when they used to do that. Jack's menu has stood the test of time. Their specials are fantastic, and when they found out the margaritas has gluten in them (my wife is allergic) they even changed their recipe for it. Hands down great value. You can seat 2 adults, two kids, appetizers, drinks, and dessert for far more reasonable prices than "trendy" places who either charge more or dont have nearly as good food. If you don't like Jack's, your standards are wrong and I suggest you just move back to LA where at least you can feel important about it.

As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!

Ceasar Jamandre

Nice place but not the menu for me. If your a healthy food eater who really needs gluten free this is the place. I'm almost 100% sure if you fit the description I just listed this is the place for you.

Janet T.I.

Very pleasant experience. The waitress told me “we take allergies very seriously here. We don’t have a seperate GF menu because the majority can be made GF”.

Casey Glaude

A good spot for gluten free brunch! You can get any of the pancakes in gluten free or get the pancake flight like I did if you want to sample multiple flavors! I think there is a gluten free French toast as well. Definitely join the waitlist before you leave the house if it’s a weekend!

Kim Hock

All of their sides are gluten-free, their chicken tenders are gluten-free, queso and chips are gluten-free. Also, the gluten-free bun for the hamburger is pretty good.

Hannah H

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

Gf heaven

Christi C.

Great for Celiac! Gluten free bun was one of the best I have had. Not too dense and not too dry. Meat was fresh and burger was tasty. They yell out Gluten when you order to alert the kitchen. All sides are GF and if you like fried pickles these don’t disappoint! Not a location near me so I won’t go out of my way to eat here but worth it if you are in the area!

Maria Verdin

Food and service was i just wished the seats were cleaned the bench i sat at was stickky other than that my gluten free bread turkey and tots were delicious.

Lacy

They hype was real! Typically Im not a fan of order at the counter type places, but I’m willing to get over it for this place. I had the chicken kebab bowl and of course had the Mac n’ Cheese because that’s all I’ve been hearing I about. Everything was amazing, and I cannot believe how good the Mac n’ Cheese is for being gluten free.

Jazzae Sloan

I enjoy this place! Celiac friendly and I’ve never had a reaction.

Tonya K.

dedicated fryers, safety, great affordable food

Lauren Dyer

My entire family has celiac and this is one of our safest places with great food! Most of the food is gluten free and we’ve never had cross contamination issues. If you want something with a bun make sure to specify that you need a gluten free one, otherwise they’ll assume you don’t need one.

Absolutely incredible BBQ — way better than Franklin’s. We visited Terry Black’s around 12–1 PM and were blown away. Despite the crowd, their process is super streamlined and efficient — the line moved quickly, and they still had all cuts of meat available. We ordered the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, along with potato salad, mac and cheese, and peach cobbler for sides. Every single bite was amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — I didn’t even need sauce. That’s how good it was. The potato salad was surprisingly dairy-free (and still delicious!), and they offer a great selection of dairy-free, gluten-free, and even vegan side options. The peach cobbler was the perfect sweet finish — warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. The setup is also great with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. No complaints whatsoever. Terry Black’s is hands down one of the best BBQ spots in Austin — so much better than Franklin’s, in my opinion. Don’t miss it!

Matt Williams

Great for gluten free fast food.

Allen Mabry

Top notch. Delicious, whole food with most if not all items available gluten free or keto. Attentive service.

Lauren Nater

My husband and I are from Houston and visit Galveston often, but this spot is officially going on our must-visit list every time we’re in town. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. The restaurant was packed, but we were seated quickly by the sweetest staff member, Sherry, who made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Blanca, was an absolute gem—kind, attentive, and quick to bring me a full gluten-free menu the moment I mentioned my food allergies (gluten and dairy). I had called ahead to ask if I could bring my own dairy-free alternatives, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. And the best surprise? They have gluten-free bread! For anyone with celiac or dietary restrictions, you know how exciting that is. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and quick to strike up a conversation. We never once felt like we were just another table to turn over—there was so much heart in the service and it truly made the experience stand out. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Katie White

Great GF breakfast/brunch spot. Pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, drinks! They ask “preference” or “allergy”. Menu is not marked with GF but servers help walk through what is GF.

Monica Gordon

Alex was incredible and so attentive. She knew I was allergic to gluten and made sure to communicate that to the kitchen as well as noticed me eating from my sister’s plate and made sure to let me know that is gluten free as well. She let me sample the gluten free fried chicken and it was delicious. Alex was amazing!!!

Julie Gray

Gluten free options are delicious.

AG

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Sharee C.

I love the gluten free options

Ryan Perel

Great variety of gluten free and celiac safe options. Team is great about allergies. I love to order the wraps on gluten free pita, Mac n cheese, and soups.

Chevis LaBelle

I always have a lovely time here but writing this review to shout out our lovely sever Ariana. She was such a light and her energy made the experience that much better. The shrimp & grits is great and my friend who has a gluten allergy never has to worry when she comes here. 10 out of 10 will recommend.

Lasha

Unfortunately, I placed an order originally a few days ago. The gluten-free bun was as hard as a rock and they included hash on my sweet potatoes today I picked up the replacement order and I let her know what all was on there. It included things that I did not say I wanted it on my sandwich. I have irritable bowel to where I am not able to tolerate some things and I specifically told her the items I want there. I did not get to receive a replacement order tonight again because they were closed and now I’m without a meal for tonight. No one wants to throw away $27 worth of food that they paid for. I am disappointed in the customer service and the blame. She tried to put on me for something that she did as in the manager.

Derek Kujawski

Hat Creek is a great place for dinner in our take out. Classic burgers and fries but also tater tots and chicken nuggets. They have plenty of other options as well and gluten free options for those with celiac. I have celiac and have not had issues eating at any Hat Creek location.
