Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Minnesota

Nick Larsen

We've been here quite a few times and we're bringing the whole family for this trip. There was concern about gluten as another person posted that they changed their menu. I called and talked to the restaurant, and they stated they have 4 new sandwiches on the menu that contain gluten, but they are prepared away from the other items in their kitchen, and they are very diligent about cross contamination. This is important as we have celiac folks in our party. Everyone loved it, everyone ate every bit of it, and everyone is happy. And the horchatta rice crispy bar is insane.

TL;DR - Substantial drop in food quality and service. I can't imagine myself visiting this location again, and you shouldn't imagine yourself going here either. Pizza Luce has always been a place I could rely on for great food and service, but my most recent visit was incredibly disappointing. During my visit I got a Breggfast pizza to eat there, and Gluten Free Bruscetta to go; both were entirely disappointing. Pizza - I got the Breggfast pizza with their Buffa-Luce sauce... well, at least that's what I ordered. What I got was a pizza crust with some ingredients on it, but no sauce. When I mentioned it to the waiter, he told me it was there. I restated that in fact, no, it was not, and showed him the pizza, and he informed me that I was incorrect and it was there, and then just walked away without another word. So apparently as far as this waiter was concerned, I'm blind and have no taste buds. Gluten Free Bruscetta - Oh, I'm sorry, did I say Bruscetta, I meant the cheapest, most terrible gluten free hamburger buns you can find. Pizza Luce's GF Bruscetta used to be, hands down, the best around. I believe they got the bread from a local bakery and perhaps they aren't around any longer, but if you can't find a good alternative, then just don't have any. If I had to guess, they just use Schar hamburger buns, though that feels like an insult to Shar. These were terrible; they tasted like cardboard and were soggy. Pizza Luce was always a safe bet when I was in the area, for both Pizza and gluten free items, but this visit was a joke, and an expensive one at that.

My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Pamela McCurdy

Always the best food. Very large place with a beautiful patio. It is one of my favorite places to go. Everything is always good. Only took a photo of my item last night which was the shroom burger. Beautiful baguette and tasty cheeses to make it the perfect burger. Friends had a poke bowl, Salad and another burger. My friend needed Gluten Free and they were helpful. At the bar they also have THC drinks 🍹 One of my favorite places to get wings. Also one of my favorite appetizers is the Ahi Tuna Crisp. Servers will help you makes choices if you have not been here. Friendly staff! This is a great option in the North Loop.

Kathy Madzelan

Gluten free pasta was excellent. Server Ryan was excellent. Sticky Toffee Cake dessert is to die for Cocktails were terrific. What else can I say?

We just visited on our vacation to the North Shore. We were blown away by this great pizza restaurant! We started with the garlic cheese toast. I believe it had cilantro on top which was delicious. There was a hearty serving of marinara included, and it was only $1 to add another marinara. My daughter ordered the spinach salad - it had a great balance of savory and sweet, and was a good-sized portion. I ordered the Hulapeño pizza. I don't like pineapple on pizza, so I requested it removed, however when it showed up at the table it was included. I was really hungry from a full day of hiking, and didn't want to wait for another pizza to be made. It was so delicious with the pineapple! The real star, though, was the Hot Honey - I couldn't get enough of it! Who thought that would be great with pizza?? Such a delicious combo!! I have a vegetarian son, and we were astounded by all of the vegetarian options available! Vegan bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and more. Also there were vegan cheese available and gluten-free options. I felt that the variety was more than any restaurant in the much larger city we're from! The atmosphere inside was great. Lots of outstanding local art on the walls to enjoy and available for purchase. A really cool avocado table for big groups. And you can watch them toss pizza crust while you're sitting at a table, which is always fun. The area outside was the only place I felt a little unsafe on our travels, and I skirted the kids away after one Pokemon Go battle. This restaurant is definitely on my list when we return to Duluth!

I got sick after eating here, but it may have been from the coffeeshop I went to beforehand (Royal Grounds). Pros: I was very impressed with the menu- lots of GF options and easy to navigate. The pizza was delicious although the crust was average. The watermelon salad was great. Three different GF dessert options but I was too full to try any! Cons: The bruschetta was bad- just a pile of diced tomatoes with some shaved parm, and two bad GF dinner rolls. I asked for some balsamic vinegar to dress it and was told they didn’t have it. A total waste of $12. Lemonade was supposed to have free refills but I never got any. My order ticket gets weirder the more I look at it. First I’m glad that they put in so many allergy alerts. But they say “ALLERGIC TO WHEAT” which is wrong. I told the server “I have a gluten allergy.” So they lost some trust there. And why is every allergy alert on my ticket different? Is the server typing them in manually? If I lived nearby I might try them a second time, but since I would be traveling to Minneapolis I will try a different place next time.

This Pizza Lucé location is very clean, accommodating and has friendly staff. Bathroom and Dining areas all well kept and presentable. A great dining spot for anyone, especially with being able to make pizzas half & half. (My sister and I spilt a pepperoni and elote pizza, My mother got the Gluten Free Greek Pizza!) There are several vegetarian options as well, We tried the Greek salad, it was phenomenal! I highly recommend coming here!

Zoe

Very good! Our server Travis was very helpful and accomodating to one of us having celiacs disease, offering tips and things to watch out for.

Rowan Forrester

So here's the thing, it's a great spot, and if you dine in, the food is pretty good. They hand-pour cherry Coke on request and take pride in their beer offerings, too. Twin Cities natives LOVE them their local Pizza Luce. BUT - and it's a BIG but (sans Sir Mix-a-Lot) - I got nasty food poisoning from their chicken wings last year, and haven't been able to look at chicken wings since. They also have a problem remembering to add extra cheese on their pizza when you order online. Has happened several times when I've ordered delivery as well as pick-up. Both of these issues are specific to the Roseville location. On the other hand, Katie at the Selby location in St Paul is wonderful if you're lucky enough to be in her service. I was there last week with a VERY diverse group of people - there were about 10 of us - and she was great. She was even juggling a late Friday night when the carbonation ran out at the bar, so no carbonated drinks. They also ran out of their summer special pizza (Taco Supreme), and the kitchen dropped one of our orders. Katie was pleasant, kind, generous, on top of it. She handled her business, as we say in NYC, amidst the chaos. Kudos to you, Katie. I hope you -and your corporate boss - see this review, because you're the reason I will continue to recommend Pizza Luce despite clear ops issues. The vegan meatballs are pretty good, and even have a fire-seared flavor to them that's unexpected in vegan products. I happen to be an omnivore, and also tried the meat meatballs, which are also quite good - though I don't recommend mixing and matching. Generally, the pizzas are super yum, but have a thin, crispy crust, fyi. Also important: they have a pretty good gluten-free selection, including the pizzas. I recommend asking about spiciness if you have sensitivity to burning foods, though. Not everything with "kick" is labeled on the menu. So, after all of that, I still go. I still recommend them. Just know that there may be a learning curve, so I also recommend you go with locals the first few times if you're a traveler or a transplant. Cheers

The Red Cow has delicious fare and great service. I was part of a group of four. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so all the fried potato dishes (e.g. french fries, sweet potato fries, etc.) can be made gluten-free (and oat-free).

Drew Losure-McDermott

We had a reservation for six; My parents, my wife, my cousin and his husband. It was sort of a "welcome to Minnesota" dinner, as the two of them just moved here from out of state. We consider Andiamo the best Italian restaurant in the South Metro . My cousin and his husband have Coeliac's. So the universal availability of gluten free options was much appreciated. A good experience overall, as we have come to expect.

Ban Banabhuidseach

Food is fantastic. Gluten Free options available (French Fries for the WIN). Wait staff is wonderful.

Seven Bates

Pretty great pizza options for gluten free, and dairy free. Staff were outstanding.

Jason Knowlton

Jeff Nester

I have gluten and dairy allergies and felt very safe to eat here and the food was great!

Shylo Benz

Best breakfast I’ve EVER had. I got the Scromble of The Day. Tomatoes and Chimichurri *chefs kiss* I’m gluten free and the GF English muffins were great.. I got TWO with my breakfast. My dad got the breakfast burrito and he loved it! Super cool spot to check out in downtown Minneapolis.

Lauryn Olson

The first time I had Hazelwood was in 2021, then I used to go regularly in 2022 and they had changed their menu, then I came back in 2023 and they had changed it again. Unfortunately, both times they had gotten rid of what we came for, but it was my favorite place so I would always try to pick something again. At this point, though, the only thing left for me is the dessert, and while it seems that’s never going away and I can’t recommend it enough, it makes me the odd one out at work meetings. I praise them for their gluten free options and their ability to make me- the biggest bread pudding lover of all time- order the banana creme pie when i’m there though. The bread pudding is splendid as well, I recommend the dessert sampler, that’s just how good the pie is.

sarra torborg-johnson

Great place to eat for everyday or special occasions. Food is great, but a bit spendy. Would love if they offered a gluten free bread option for the bread basket.

Jennifer Horning

Man, SO good! I'm dairy and gluten free. Haven't had a burger and fries this good in... .dunno, a loooong time. Highly recommend!

DM B

I’m celiac and finding safe places to eat when I travel is hard. This place was amazing. At first I was skeptical but the young man that was my waiter was knowledgeable and the items are marked on the menu. Food was outstanding! His service was great. He was very kind and attentive.

christine noell

Had the gluten-free pizza. I think it's called. The wrangler was excellent. Highly recommend.!!

First Name Last Name (REvans)

Very good place if you have allergies or dietary restrictions, they are a very clean and careful kitchen, and the one place that never makes me sick! Wish I could get larger gluten free pizzas for both cost reasons and so i could share or have left overs, especially since I like eating out with friends who also have celiacs!

Robin K.

Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

Cora Brown

We love Red Cow! Excellent food and atmosphere. Tons of gluten free options.

Matt Moscho

Great gluten free options! And the espresso martini is lovely

Dawn Roggenkamp

Excellent gluten free menu options

Becky Czech

This is a great sports bar atmosphere. But, it's kid friendly. Full bar, great gluten-free options and it's very comfortable. The food is fabulous!!!

Reilly Nesbitt

I love how accommodating Red Robin is for celiac folks. Knowing that I have a safe and YUMMY place to eat is so important. Best gluten free burger in Minnesota if you ask me. I get the haystack double, sub a gluten free bun, no onion straws (sometimes I’ll sub raw onions), and roasted garlic aioli instead of the campfire mayo (since it’s sadly not gf). They also have a dedicated gluten free frier you can get the steak fries and the seasoning is also GF. They have the best interactive gluten free/allergen menu and I would SO love if more restaurants would adopt something similar. Just make sure you always tell your server about your allergy! We typically always eat there but this time i placed an order via phone for delivery because I’m usually too nervous to do it online… I was helped by the sweetest, most thorough and understanding employee named Virginia. She made sure that my allergy was understood which felt like a weight off my shoulders. I can’t wait to eat my burger!!

Christian Davis

Great burgers and fries. The triple berry ketchup was amazing. Gluten free options available and fries were made in a separate fryer to avoid cross contamination. Service was fantastic too!

Mason S

Great gluten free bun (although a little messy if you don't mind) with flavor and variety in options. Service is great as well 👍

Monique Maxwell

Accommodated gluten-free and provided wonderful service

Georgia Ferguson

Michael Hoffman

Stumbled into speed bingo, really fun. Won a nice prize. We came for the gluten-free options. Appreciate having choices

Heidi Gordon

“Gluten friendly” at your own risk. Fries are marked that they can be gluten free, but the cheese sauce they come with is beer cheese, so the waitress had to clarify that she’d bring that on the side. And they don’t have a GF frier, so she asked if that would be ok. Maybe I ate too many fries, since it wasn’t clear that they came with the burger too (w/ no other option). The gf burger bun was good (covered in poppy seeds) & held up well. Cocktails were also good and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

Zane Zbacnik

One of the best restaurants in Duluth if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but do want good food and have a good time. It gets busy during dinner time like most places and they have music every night so if you aren’t into how loud it gets it’s still worth it to order takeout, which on Saturday you have to do in person. I recommend avoid using a car to get there since parking is very limited in the area when it is busy. They have a lot of different food options so if you need vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free they can accommodate you. Honestly I don’t think they have a single bad item on the menu.

Scott Miller

Good food & lots of GF options available. My wife is celiac. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy at all. Short wait on a Saturday night.

Kayla Adams

Great service and incredible pizza - and gluten free options!

Claire Joyce

Tanner and Evan are the best bartenders to exist. Not only are they best friends that bring the best energy, but they are so personable and hard working. Crave is the only restaurant we come to at the MOA. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, because we know we wouldn’t get the service these two bring. Appreciate them and hope they stay at crave for a long time! Besides that, sushi rollers are also very hard working and the fish is so fresh. Love crave forever! (Another side note - great gluten free options!!!! Even their truffle fries can be GF!)

Pierce Rowley

Came in for a burger and a beer at happy hour. Restaurant was clean, and has a higher caliber (if not fairly common) gastropub aesthetic. First thing I noticed was the abundance of staff, even on a weekday afternoon, which was nice. Multiple hosts, they sat me at a nice private seat away from other tables without me even needing to ask, had a server right away with multiple people checking on me throughout my meal - always a plus. My server was happy to pour me a sample of a cider I’d never tried before without me even needing to ask, which was a nice gesture. Absolutely massive draught list, which is great. As for the burger, I have to say it was fairly mediocre. California Burger, fairly standard burger toppings with the addition of a cilantro mayo and avocado slices. Couldn’t taste the cilantro at all and the lettuce was this cheap, flavorless, shredded romaine that looked like it came fresh off the subway prep line. I ordered it on a gluten-free bun, which was an up-charge, though I honestly would’ve preferred eating the components over a salad instead. The bun appeared to have been briefly grilled, but it was horribly dry, flaky, and crumbly, falling apart all over the table before I was even halfway through eating it. I’ve had plenty of great gluten free buns at burger joints, this wasn’t one of them. Either the supplier or the preparation needs to change. Fries were actually quite good, at least! Interesting cut, I’m not sure what the prep method is. Nice combination of thick steak fry and thin crispy fry textures, with a subtle, but tasty seasoning blend. Overall an okay experience. Perhaps some of the other food is better, but if you have anything poorly conceived or consistently poorly executed on your menu, it doesn’t make me excited to spend money taking a chance on anything more. I’d be most likely to return for nothing more than a side of fries and another pour from your impressive draught list, which is unfortunate, given the size and decent atmosphere of the rest of the establishment.

Alexandria Pearson

The server was very busy but they were still able to check on me regularly and made sure I got everything I needed! I had a mushroom thin crust pizza with cashew cheese and it was great! You wouldn't have been able to tell it was dairy free if you hadn't known. Would highly recommend if you are dairy free and still want the pizza experience! They also offer gluten free options if you need it!

MARTI JONES

Terrible food, worse than mediocre Mexican! Sever was great and helped me with gluten free food. Margarita was good. I do not recommend eating here.

Bri Johnson

Great food and fair prices! Loved the number of gluten free options. Piano player was such a beautiful touch.

K Jin

Ordered the Gluten-Free Orange Chicken. Extremely disappointed. Not only did it not look like the picture, there was also no flavor whatsoever, let alone flavor of any orange or citrus. It also lacked any oranges in the dish. It was also very soupy. The fried rice was also overly greasy. Attempted to add soy sauce and while that made it edible it was still disappointing. Definitely will not be ordering this again and unsure if I will order from this restaurant again. Interestingly, I almost ordered multiple dishes but I decided to try just one to see how that went and I'm glad that I did not waste more than the 25.00 that I did.

Cali Bowers

Awesome pizza, great service and laid back vibes. Best gluten free pizza of my life and my husband loved the regular pizza.

Don & Kim L

GLUTEN PARADISE! Very good farm to table homemade food, right down to the pickles. Many gluten-free offerings, including sandwiches with the gluten-free bun and gluten-free wraps. They also have a variety of gluten-free pasta items, including Chicken mushroom Macaroni and cheese. They now have a gluten designated fryer for fries, chicken, wings, etc. If you tell them you have celiac, they have a very strict protocol in the kitchen. The restaurant is decorated old farmhouse, fashion with chicken theme. They serve wine, cocktails, and mocktails. Staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of gluten free needs. They can also adjust for gluten-free and dairy free and have a few vegetarian options.

Mary J

I was able to get gluten free scramble and bday cupcake and mother got a bfast croissant. Very good.

Meg Hoehn

Consistently excellent burgers - in my opinion the cheeseburger is the way to go. Awesome pickles. This has become our go-to take out spot. At the time of this review, it is also celiac safe, with a dedicated fryer for fries if you request it.

Sandy

First, our server Noah was AWESOME, helpful, informative, and fun! Second, our food was beautifully displayed and incredibly DELICIOUS!!! I’m gluten and dairy free, so enjoying a beautiful and delicious meal is sooooooo appreciated! We will definitely be back! This may be our new favorite! (fresh guacamole, and fresh vegetables. GF & DF blackened shrimp tacos)
