Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Indianapolis

NJT Trip

Pro’s: Great options for Celiac Disease + good GF bread. Coffee keeps flowing, it’s $5 for unlimited self serve. Central location next to Capitol. Con’s: Slightly underwhelming portions. Lox bagel does not come with cream cheese. Not a ton of unique / strong flavor for an $18 meal. It generally felt like a restaurant that used to be charming in its origins but has commercialized.

Visited here for a birthday dinner the night before a Fever game. Amazing dining experience, top notch service. The staff were very accommodating with my gluten free and dairy free needs.

Brooklynn Filstrup

Super nice staff 100% gluten free!!!

Kelly Gallaway

I was there for a meeting. 1st time visit. The Food was good. I was offered Gluten Free options, which I had requested. The Server was friendly, and timely.

Amanda Elsner

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

Sam Zarakovich

No words, absolutely fantastic. World class, this should have a michilin star. Food? Fantsstic. Ciders? Amazing. And its a nut free, allergen and gluten concious kitchen? What more could you ask for.

Amanda Elsner

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

Stacey Dishman

I took my daughter who had a gluten allergy. There were Gluten Free options and so many to choose from. We had the best service. The server was Wil and he had the best hospitality. The manager Ethan came and asked us how everything was. Ethan had great hospitality as well. We had the flaming turtle chocolate that gets lit on fire. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Made a reservation for 8 for Prom last week and the kids were pleased. They said the food was great and the manager came out to check on the gluten free order to make sure it was right and that they were having a good experience. They were excited to be treated with such great service after not being served well at a steakhouse farther north a couple of months ago. They promised they tipped appropriately, but look it up on my open table to make sure that is true. Thank you for treating them with kindness and respect and for making it a good experience for them.

The roasted brussels sprout appetizer is amazing! Also, pair your meal with one of the CH house wines. We chose a smooth merlot with our dinner and will do so again, it was that good. Our server was very attentive and professional, very knowledgeable on the menu and wines. He insured that my meal was prepared gluten-free which I greatly appreciated. Reservations are recommended on the weekends.

Educator Barnes

I’m gluten-free. Even though I’ve had the gluten-free pasta at this restaurant before, I was not in the mood for pasta. I understand that this restaurant has a lot of pasta options, but there are other options as well. For my meal, I asked for asparagus and lobster on top of mashed potatoes. When my meal came out, the lobster and asparagus was on top of pasta. I explicitly. stated that I did not want pasta. Despite this, I was asked if I wanted to keep the meal or wait for it to be remade. I chose to have it remade while I watched my husband eat his dish. Once the dish was corrected, I did enjoy it. However, I do wish this restaurant had more gluten-free options.

Jonathan Hilber

We make this a usual stop about once every 3 months. Service was far better this time than last. My wife has to be gluten free and she hasn't had any issues when eating here! The tacos are fantastic!

Juana Saldana

Service was quick and friendly. They have plenty of gluten-free options. My husband’s gluten-free meal was delicious! My French toast wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was solid. Overall, a great place for breakfast with something for everyone.

Joe Sacher

Burgers are really good. I was super disappointed in the onion rings. Really thick breading, like a limp pretzel dough and no crisp. Wish I didn't pay extra and just got the fries. Wife is Celiac and proper handling of this is main reason we came.

Trevor Darley

An update after my visit: despite noting that I have an allergy and needed the gluten-free pancakes, I was served pancakes with gluten. Through sheer luck, I commented on a separate allergy-related issue, and a new staff member (not the one who took my order) got confused and asked "You do realize these have gluten, right?". They prepared a new, safe, order quickly, but it was concerning. I recommend that those with allergies place their order through a manager, and have the manager double-check with the kitchen that they read the order correctly. I haven't even been here yet, but I already love them due to their commitment to safe gluten-free food for those with Celiac and other severe medical responses to gluten. I'll update this review after I eat there this weekend

Can be busy, friendly staff! Many items labeled gluten free! Not a bad place for diabetics if you’re smart about carbs. All meat is excellent here! Pricey but worth the money! Be sure to get wine with steak 👍 👍

Cyndi Brenner

Loved this little sandwich shop. The gluten-free bagel was so good, it made me so happy to find a great place for a quick bite with gluten-free options! Next time I’m passing through again, I will definitely be stopping by!

Lori Davis

As someone with Celiac Disease, I was floored that the fried chicken can be completely gluten free. The servers are knowledgeable and happy to accommodate with gluten free needs. Food was incredibly fresh and delicious. There are so several sides and appetizers that are also gluten free. There are a gluten free option for dessert too! I will be back for the food and the amazing service! Highly recommend!

Candy Kuhl

The gluten-free cheeseburger was delicious! Although the French fries are not gluten-free, I opted for a side salad instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Alicia Mendoza

Sam P was a great server! Abundant gluten free options. Will be back again!

Nicholas Froggatt

We really enjoyed the jerk chicken wrap and the BBQ chicken salad, and left with some delicious desserts! Tons of gluten-free options, and it was great meeting the owner and her family.

Shalyse Ise

Food was very good. Our server Alyssa was very nice. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten free

Trevor Darley

Absolutely amazing! The staff were very friendly, accommodating and careful with my Celiac / gluten intolerance, and the food was delicious. I attached a photo of my Rainbow Trout with chimichurri (I wrote "FISH" with my rice, which was an excellent addition to the meal)

Kimberly Wiselogle

Amazing service. Extremely through and safe with a Gluten Allergy. Highly recommend the Metro Diner and Casey as a server. 😊

Sarah Chidister

Brittani was our server today and she was really lovely! The food as always was amazing and I love the gluten friendly options they have available.

Tyler Ann Hopkins

First Watch is so so good! The atmosphere is fun and inviting and kid friendly. I love the Mint Mocha and Traditional Breakfast! It's perfect for dietary restrictions to as they have gluten free options and cater more to the healthy side. We drive an hour one way to eat at First Watch and it's so worth it!

Chelsea Meyer

We went to The Capital Grille a couple weeks ago for our anniversary celebration. They truly made us feel special at Capital Grille. They knew we were celebrating our anniversary and they acknowledged that many times throughout the night. The table was nicely decorated for our anniversary, they left us a card and a rose. I can’t eat gluten and they were attentive and cautious with all of my food to ensure I had a safe dining experience. They even had a GF menu! All the food was delicious! They surprised us for dessert and brought out two deserts, one for my husband and a GF chocolate espresso cake for me. It was divine! They paid attention to every detail and really made us feel valued and appreciated for spending our night with them. It made us feel we chose the right place to spend our time and money. I’d definitely go back there!

J Riker

Sarah is amazing! Gluten-free, YES PLEASE! So many Gluten-free options! Ive never been anywhere with more Gluten-free choices!!!

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

James Murdock

Rick’s Cafe Boatyard has been on our list of date-night restaurants to check out for a long time. We finally made it and we’re happy we did. Even with some construction work happening, the atmosphere was nice. They had several gluten-free options for us to choose from. We chose bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp tacos (see the photos), and it was all delicious. Our server was great… very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Ketsiah Malakai (LilKetsi)

Gluten-Free!!! The amazingly fluffy flat pancake breading of most of their meal options is absolutely amazing....The Reina Pepeada (what I got) comes normally with shredded chicken, avacado, cilantro, and mayo. I got mine without cilantro and chose a combo deal that came with Lays potato chips and a soda (I got Sprite). The arepa had like a pound of chicken on it and very likely a whole avacado! So so good....They offered plastic silverware, but I ended up eating with my hands. How you know it was delicious. XD The Reina Pepeada itself is $12 (menu price); the meal deal was $14 (menu price). My whole price was $19 and change ($3 tip included). The Reina Pepeada is one of the cheaper options, but you can easily get out for under $20.

Extra thick cut, 98% fat free, and cured well. Best of all, it's gluten free for a person with celiac disease like me. What am I talking about? It's Kirkland's Signature Premium Extra Thick Steak Strips, of course! You can't go wrong with this food package for a car trip to a city like Indianapolis for a convention you've been looking forward to attending for over six years. It especially hits the spot after you've been waiting over 3 hours for food at a restaurant that, once delivered, wasn't cooked properly and didn't match your order nor met your dietary restrictions that you asked about (and which was never answered by staff). But don't worry, Kirkland's Steak Strips won't put you in the hospital - they're already cooked, ready and safe to eat. Kirkland's Steak Strips are so good even at 10pm, after a long evening of waiting for an order that actually got cancelled by an inept Liquid Death-chugging manager after yourself and your friends expressed concerns over your wait countless times, being told again and again that it would just be 5 more minutes until your food arrived. But you know what you don't have to wait for? Kirkland's Steak Strips. They're always ready for you, sealed in that snazzy black bag and packed with a blast of flavorful protein. Costco is there for those who care about what they eat and want to have a good time chowing down. For everyone else - especially in Indianapolis - there's Punch Bowl Social, where you can go to play a tournament of Exploding Kittens at your table and eat... well, as it turned out for me, absolutely nothing!

Barbara Payton

I love that they have Gluten free bread and buns too. Molly was the best server. Our food was so good. We live this place.

Alyssa Going

We love Delicia! The queso fundido starter is always a highlight and something we have to order every time we go. There’s just nothing quite like it anywhere else! Love that there are gluten free options and that they’re marked. Love the vibes, drinks, and wait staff here too.

Austin Reed

Eclectic friendly atmosphere. Tons of great options and even gluten free as well. Loved the vibe and will be back!

Melissa Duff

I love coming here. The food is great- I can’t help but get the baked oatmeal every time. The baristas are so peppy and kind. The coffee is solid and the seasonal drinks are always changing so you can try something new. Quite a few gluten free baked-goods options.

Sherry Wilson

Has great gluten free options. Family loves biscuit and gravy and fried potatoes!

R. M.

Great tasting food and excellent service. We stopped here for dinner & drinks when they opened before a show at Old National and the service was super fast, made it to our show no problem! They have a gluten free menu and no one got glutened, so safe for the celiacs out there (we informed them of the allergy & to please switch gloves).

Gordon Lewis

Stopped off the interstate. Looking for the drink to unwind and stumbled upon this bar. Pizzas look great. We tried the gluten-free crust. Surprisingly very good gluten free , cauliflower, crust... Also recommend the sausage (crumbled) topping on a pizza.. If you like a hundred cheese with your pizza, basil has the seasoning in your sauce, and high quality ingredients, you'll love the pizza too.

Ava Peterson

Love Venezuelan food & this was delicious! A must try, especially if you’re gluten free! I’ll be back :)

Darci James

Placed a $400 catering order for an executive staff meeting. The delivery was on time, packaged well, and the catering manager was so lovely. We got a taco bar, a few sides, chips and dips, and desserts. All fantastic. The portion sizes were wonderful and the quality of food was great. I had senior staff coming to find me to ask where it was from and say it was delicious. Worked out great to ensure my vegetarian and gluten free staff members could easily eat.

Laure Anne

Lots of options on the menu. The gluten free bread was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Evan VanCuren

We had a fantastic experience at the Fountain Room! Our server, Katherine, was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. She paid special attention to my wife’s gluten allergy which we really appreciated. We can’t wait to come back and bring our friends!

Elizabeth Brown

Connie Drake

Keith Baker

Awesome food and service. They were very accommodating for gluten free and inspired confidence they would get it right. Food came and was excellent. Only complaint was it's a little loud.

Erin & Shawn Thomas

Gorgeous brewery, friendly staff and excelle t me u with gluten free options.

Alex Carter

Mesh is yet another Cunningham restaurant with excellent food, service, and ambiance. Had the coravina and peanut butter pie, both of which were exquisite. The coravina was a delightful blend of curry, pineapple, and coconut flavors balanced with savory and perfectly fried rice and roasted carrots. The peanut butter pie also was delicious, and the heavy flavor of the peanut butter was well balanced with cream. I also appreciate their range of gluten-free , vegetarian, and vegan options. Will definitely be coming here again!

Jessica Claypool

It was Thanksgiving night when my husband and myself met some friends for dinner. I am gluten free and have a sensitive stomach so finding good breakfast food can be quite challenging at times. I got scrambled eggs which were heavenly! My husband got their dulce de leche pancakes and said they were very tasty! Our friend got berry pancakes with eggs and hashbrowns and bacon. His wife got the grand slam breakfast combo, pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and hashbrowns. They both really enjoyed their food. Our server was busy but made sure to check on us several times. The staff seemed to be working quickly but effectively. I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to go back!

Pauline Cox

My sister and I visited for the first time and loved it! Our server was attentive and very sweet, and the food we amazing! She ordered an amazing breakfast skillet that was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavour. I have several dietary restrictions but was able to find a delicious gluten free and dairy free breakfast sandwich that i absolutely loved! We both left very happy and plan to return with our husbands!!
