Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in North Carolina

Alexi Moutafis

It's a good place to eat. The service is typically great. The food and drinks are what they should be. I would classify this as a new-school Greek diner. A very casual, inexpensive, sit-down restaurant with a huge variety on the menu to suit a wide variety of tastes. We have many similar restaurants in the northeast. Some of my family members have celiac (gluten allergy) and Bernie's has done a great job both with preparation as well as variety. I have one complaint: my gyro platter only had 3 kalamata olives on it! Μαλακίες!

Bad Birdi

Fantastic gluten free menu! Definitely recommend the hush puppies and Boat Entree's. All dessert is gluten free and they even have gluten free beer which unfortunately wasn't available the day I went, but usually is.

Parish Wolfe

Bida Manda is amazing. I go there regularly and it’s always a good experience. They have a lot of gluten free options and the menu is well marked for gluten.

Liz F

Amazing gluten free food and service! We always love the calamari and split the entree.

Rocked socks

Bad food for the price. Only really good as a gluten free option, but even then it's still very expensive for what you get. Pancakes suck too.

Fred Schneider

Incredible! So many gluten free options, marked clearly on the menu. And FANTASTIC gluten free key lime pie! The owner, Nelson, made sure we knew how much they cared about making an affordable and safe GF dining experience. Loved the ambience and the food; the burger was one of the best I've ever had and the gf bun was soooo fluffy! They give you a FREE cookie at the end and the gf cookie was actually soft and not crumbly. I cried a little I was so excited. I will be back!

Chewy

Very good burgers, with gluten free options both for buns and for sides. The medium rare beef burger just melts in your mouth, and the gluten free chicken tenders and tater tots are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The wait is also quick, we've been here twice and got our food within 10 minutes. We ate our food before I could remember to take photos, so here's the clean plate club. They also have a rewards club that offers free burgers and such, if you like app/rewards clubs.

Kendall Bradley

Amazing fish tacos and beautiful outdoor patio area! I also appreciate the gluten free bread option for sandwiches.

Mica Baker

Authentic Italian cuisine. Gluten free options. Always delicious!

Taylor Clark

I never review restaurants but I cannot say enough good things about this place. My girlfriend and I are gluten free and it is often difficult to find a full spectrum menu of things we can eat—however, even if you aren’t gluten free—this place is incredible. From the atmosphere, to the view, to the service; even down to how the dishes are plated…everything is immaculate. The Duck Confit…I would highly recommend. Their deconstructed tiramisu for desert—amazing. Even their coffee there we got with desert…best restaurant coffee I’ve had, period. You have to check this place out. Well worth your time and money.

They have an extensive gluten-free menu. Everything was great and the service was amazing! Very delicious food!!

I’ve been going to Lugano’s for almost 7 years, it truly never disappoints! The food is incredibly delicious, the staff is very friendly, and we leave happy every time. Their kids menu is $10 for any of the items, they have gluten free options!

Chris Kerr

Snooze lives up to its fantastic name and only gets better from there. The atmosphere has a quirky diner vibe, complemented by exceptionally hospitable service. My wife ordered the Denver omelet with hash browns and gluten-free toast, and she devoured nearly all of it—which is a rare feat! I opted for the traditional eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and a side of bacon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life! The bacon was irresistibly crave-worthy, too. Thank you, Snooze, for an outstanding experience!

My husband and I had a lovely date night tonight at Glasshalfull! We’ve been here before with friends and enjoyed it, but since we live in Durham, it’s not a restaurant that comes to mind as often. I was looking for a place to have dinner for a little celebration and saw that they had an extensive gluten-free dessert selection :) So we came tonight and plan to definitely keep this on our list of places to go! From the delicious, delicate salads, to the gluten-free crisps (yum!!) that came with the cheese appetizer to the entrees, to the gluten-free desserts, to the wonderful server (India), it was such a great night. I have to say that it was the best brownie that I’ve had in quite a while (GF and otherwise). It was baked in its own ramekin so there were “edges” all the way around and on the bottom - if you are someone who loves the edge pieces of brownies, this is the one for you! Yes, the prices are a little higher, but that’s because they pay a working wage for their staff and so tipping is optional. The tables are nicely spaced so that you’re not right up against others. It was a cool night tonight, so we sat inside, but it looks like they have nice outdoor seating, so I hope we can come sometime and enjoy that :)

Danny Husted

Only safe place for a celiac that i have found where I never get cross contaminated and the staff is more knowledgeable than some Dr's.

Amy Reeder

10/10 recommend!!! The food was so good and the staff was exceptionally friendly! I have a gluten intolerance and they were so knowledgeable and accommodating!!

Ann Hughes

I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here with a friend. The gluten-free and vegetarian choices were plentiful, the food and cocktails were great, the wait staff were friendly and just the perfect amount of attentive without hovering. Can't wait to visit again. Perfect place for a fun night out with your women friends or your family.

DK Kirik

I will plan a trip around my ability to get their gluten free pizza. It is the absolute best I've ever had.

Kearston Vanderstyne

We were seated quickly and the food came fast too. Michael was very attentive. Our whole party enjoyed our food and experience. I appreciated the gluten friendly menu and both the gf bourbon street pancakes and gf toast were delicious!

Rebecca Woods

Delicious drinks, fantastic food, great service. I especially appreciate that they can make a majority of the menu gluten-free for those of us that are celiacs. They have a fantastic menu of mocktails as well. Definitely plan on going back

Faith Chislock

Our waitress was incredible big shout-out to Sierra she was kind helpful attentive and sweet. The gluten-free buns were very delicious. I don't prefer a sports bar type setting but other than that the Ambiance was great.

Rhys James

Great cocktails, great gluten free food for coeliacs (highly recommend the Buddha bowl), and so good for veggies and vegans too! Cool atmosphere would hands down recommend.

Had a lovely lunch here-food & service were excellent. Appreciated that they offered gluten free options. Reservations are a good idea!

Danielle Martin

Brought a group of friends from out of town (6 of us total). Service wasnt terrible but our server was very absent and had to be flagged down and she seemed not to care or want to be there. 2 people asked for no ice in their water and she said "I'll just do no ice for all 6" when that's not what we wanted. She brought the waters then took 4 peoples cocktail orders and then walked away. We watched our drinks sit at the bar for so long when she was nowhere to be found. Someone else had to bring the other 2 people their cocktails when she finally let them order, someone else also brought our second round of drinks to us instead of her. Please keep in mind it was not busy at all when we went- less than 8 tables of people in the whole place. Our other friends (group of 7) at another table arrived after us, got their food before we were even able to order ours. Our server incorrectly told us there was gluten in the items we wanted to order off of the gluten free menu. I was so excited to share this place with friends and we left very disappointed in the service we received. Our other group of friends received excellent service. Additionally, we had a question as we were leaving about the parking at the designated garage for this area and the hostess said shes new and didn't know but also wouldn't ask anyone standing around up front. There appears to be several people working here that just can't be bothered to do anything more than the absolute bare minimum, even on a slow day. In all of our previous visits service has been a bit lack luster but not this bad and the food has been good but not great enough to justify the poor service

Joshua Rauscher

The supreme omelette and gluten-free pancakes were delicious. Chelle went out of her way to answer our questions.

Julie Sell

Allergen Friendly! We had a knowledgeable and friendly server who was able to assured us their staff could handle our family's dietary restrictions. They do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer but there were several gluten free options on the lunch menu. The dinner menu had more options though and we look forward to trying that out. Call ahead if you have multiple allergens but they are worth trying out if you have multiple allergens.

Donna Dixon (MeandQt)

Loved it! Gluten free pancakes! All the food was awesome. We will be returning soon.

This was the halfway point to meet up with our son to celebrate some family birthdays. We waited at the bar and had some drinks and an appetizer. (super excited that they had chambord and could make my favorite drink!) We put our name on the wait list and moved to a table closer to the time of his arrival. The staff was very accommodating in helping us make sure we had a table when he arrived. The place is super laid back with a lot of locals in to watch the game on a Saturday night. The food was all yummy and there were gluten free options for 2 family members. Everything is very reasonably priced. If you are in a hurry, don't go here, it is not a fast food restaurant. If you are looking to sit back and relax, this is the spot. We will be back!

Amber Perino

Delicious food and cocktails. Wonderful staff was knowledgeable and accommodating to our dairy free/gluten free dietary restrictions. Sushi was wonderful!

mike chera

They also do a good job with their gluten free options, and avoid cross contamination. Great for the whole family.

celeste vaillant

went here for lunch while in southport and it was such a good find! the gluten free pizza was crispy, light, and tasted very good! my parents had the regular sandwiches (not gf) and said they were amazing! they do offer gluten free bread but i stuck with the pizza as the other reviews said it was so good. i would come back!

Ebonique Morman

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

April Flowers

Delicious!! We got a regular pie and a gluten free pie. Both were so good! We are from NY, and this is the closest pizza we’ve had that taste like New York pizza!!

Restraunt Overall - 4 stars Chase (waiter) - 10000 stars This place would normally be awesome already, but I want to give a shoutout to our waiter Chase. We had a group of 9 including kids and a couple challenging adults, but he immediately made us feel perfectly at home. He was super friendly, to the point were it made us feel like we had known him for years. One person in our group has a gluten allergy, and Chase provided many things such as a gluten free menu, customization options to remove gluten, and reassurance that the allergen processes would be strictly followed. I wish he could be my server everywhere I go to eat, his service was truly above and beyond. As an out of towner this was truly a great experience and made me feel a lot more comfortable here. The food was delicous and not to expensive, $17 for a really good burger and fries and a bottomless drink. I reccomend the "Bonzai Burger", with grilled pineapple and teryaki glaze. Management, Chase deserves all the raises and tips he can get that was a truly special experience and helped take our meal from good to outstanding 😁

Heather Waters

Great place for dinner. Recommend the fish sticks. They are gluten free, not that you would know, and delicious. Raspberry hot wings also great. Service excellent. Nice open space with outside seating. Interesting cocktails as well.

Laura Eidem

Great place for work dinner or to catch up with friends. Love the food and friendly service. Many gluten free drink options or alternatives for those who don’t enjoy beer

TaraTom Neuweiler

Amazing pizza place!! This is a kid-friendly spot, but it’s still giving “upscale” eating. The food was delicious, their cauliflower crust tasted so good and they offer gluten free options as well. They were so flexible with my kids and got their meals out super fast & kid temp! Would def recc this place to anyone who needs a quick place to eat!

Richard LaBrosse

We've never had a bad meal here. Whether reservation or bar walk in the service is great. And the food is superb. Gluten free options on practically everything... except on bread for the amazing mussel wine sauce.

Ninabeth Bunn

Nice but comfortable setting with great waitstaff. Plenty of gluten free options and some desserts as well!

Cecilia Brodersen

Jeffrey Scearce

Excellent wood fired pizza!! There are lots of options, including cauliflower and gluten-free crusts. I highly recommend the 4X4. A carnivore dream!!!

The bison burger was delicious! I have to be gluten -free, so I had mine in a lettuce wrap with a side of duck fat carrots. 😋 The "Cup o' joe" was delicious for an after-dinner drink. My husband enjoyed his steak and fries.

Rebecca Noyes

Gluten/Dairy allergies; server was well informed of the allergies and didn't give me that eye roll that those of us with food restrictions know.

R L.

What a cool spot! The sandwich was perfectly made, loved the flavor and crunch combination and I couldn't tell it was gluten free, best bun I've had in a while! The place is a bit loud but the design is amazing and so unique 😍

Amelia Palma

Heather Carney

Hailey is the best server. She was so attentive and made sure my gluten free order was done correctly. My family and I loved having her. Personality, food and service were all 💯

Shayna Grogan

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!
