Top 50 Gluten-Free Burger Joints Across North Carolina

I was so excited to try Burtons with their huge gluten free menu, but I was really disappointed. I ordered an appetizer of the bread and it was so tough and dry. Still, I was excited for my entree. I ordered a warm lobster roll with fries. The fries were AMAZING. I actually have a hard time finding good GF fries but theirs were fantastic—which is why I gave 2 stars. The lobster was okay but the bun was pretty gross. The whole thing was just dry and not flavorful at all. The service was not good either :( I got 1 refill after eating most of my meal without a drink (except the table water), and we sat there for 30 minutes waiting to pay. Hopefully today was just an off day for them but based on my experience today, I don’t recommend it.

Great tasting gluten free fried chicken and friendly atmosphere.

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.

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!

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.

Though a little worn (and obviously well patronized), and the outside comes in.... this is a really well designed menu, fabulous staff, and the cheesecake is above the expected. I love how much is gluten free, and no questions asked about the allergy, and that the menu reflects a variety of tastebuds of well researched foodies. These are definitely not the digs of your average pub in a small town. They know their food. I recently brought a group of ladies there, and there was something for everyone. *The Greek Burger needs more sauce, but that's just me. I love Tzatziki sauce. And the Sweet Potato fries are also good with Tzatziki sauce. Thanks to the staff for quick service and accurate drinks (Unsweet tea is a huge deal for those of us with that taste bud). lots of love to Dooley's!

Kim Erb

A great experience from start to finish. My cousin has a gluten allergy and our waitress Carly and the manager Ian personally made sure everything was safe for her to eat. We appreciated going above and beyond for that. Try the elote dip!

Marie Coffin

Authentic neighborhood café, has great down-home cooking, including all-day breakfast. Lots of gluten-free options. Service is outstanding!

Kay Somers

Good burgers and fries! The food tasted pretty good, I’d say the prices are a bit outrageous for what it is though.

Andy Smith

Gluten free bun could quite possibly be the best I've had yet. Burgers are amazing. Staff was helpful and careful with my gluten allergy.

This place is one of my favorite spots for burgers but with a Spanish twist to it. Has a good variety of burgers and their sides of either fries with truffles, sweet potatoes, and the Mac and cheese. You can’t go wrong with those!! This place also has gluten free bread option that comes in a separate package for you to assemble, very well made and done. Delicious and Gluten free!!!

Yanni Bistro is truly a hidden gem in Matthews, NC. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved their food—especially the salads, which are consistently fresh and flavorful. And let’s not forget the gingersnaps. It seems like every time I visit, they’re generously offering complimentary gingersnaps. Today, I stopped in on a whim during my day off and ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and a gluten-free BLT. I decided to sit outside, soaking in the minimalist decor and letting the sound of birdsong become the soundtrack to my morning. Then something unexpected and lovely happened—the owner brought my BLT out to me personally and struck up a conversation. What started as a quick meal turned into a 30-minute, soul-filling talk about food, wellness, and the importance of clean ingredients. I learned that everything on the menu is sourced locally from the farmers market next door, and I could genuinely feel his passion and care behind every bite. Yanni Bistro gets 10 out of 5 stars for their incredible customer service, peaceful atmosphere, and commitment to healthy, locally-sourced ingredients. They also offer fantastic gluten-free and vegan options, which is a huge plus. If you’re in the area—go. Take yourself on a breakfast date. You might just leave with more than a full belly.

Love that they have gluten free bun!

Krystal Aubry

Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

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

Mikaela

Delicious food with options for everyone. Vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/everyone friendly, pet friendly, people there were very kind.

Tracy Thomas

The food was top shelf and the menu for celiacs was identical to the main menu and cooked separately. Fine dining on every level as well as being family friendly. I highly recommend this place. The service was fantastic.

Burger 21 offers a diverse menu with options for various dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free. The prices were reasonable, considering the food and service quality. Overall, the dining experience at Burger 21 was exceptional. The welcoming atmosphere, service, and expertly crafted dishes made for an unforgettable evening. Burger 21 is highly recommended for anyone looking for a culinary adventure. Planning a return visit to explore more menu options is already underway.

Rebecca Woods

I love that our server Bee was attentive to all of our needs, made sure that I was safe with my gluten-free diet, and had a huge smile on her face while she was taking care of our large party here tonight. We appreciate you!

Angelica Rodriguez

This place was great! Loved the overall environment and the feel of the restaurant’s look. Not to mention the waiter we had was extremely nice and our food came out awesome and delicious! This place is also very good for those who are celiac with the many delicious options you can have other than salads. Overall, awesome place and would come back again and again.

Dana Davis

We happened upon this amazing pizza when we were downtown while on a recent trip to Charlotte. Our daughter is gluten free and it was by far the best pizza we have ever had. The GF crust is made in house and was fabulous. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a great GF pizza.

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.

Archie Smiley

Abby Wisher

Nice grille downtown. Food is pretty tasty, and many gluten free options

Lael Rudisill

Visited some friends out here who highly recommended this place and they were Right! Amazing food with gluten free options! I haven't had a crab cake in forever due to celiac and theirs were GREAT!! Even had one of the cheese dip appetizers that was gluten free as well! Wife really enjoyed her catch of the day tacos too. Live band was playing and the cool sea air blowing thru the open windows really made for an outstanding evening. Would give 10 stars if possible!!

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!!

Kaycee Edwards

I have found myself here multiple times since I found this place. Not only are the employees and service wonderful, if you have to be gluten free this place is the jackpot! It allows you to enjoy a burger without missing gluten in the slightest. The gluten free buns are soft and delicious and they made sure to tell me the fries are not gluten free as well. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a burger and milkshake!

Jawanaka Wilson

Out waitress Emma was great, I have celiac disease and she got me a gf menu and made suggestions but the food and service was great.

Streamlined Weddings

Amazing Gluten Free Experience! Wonderful staff, clean space, and everyone was super friendly!

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.

Kat Duszynski

Beautiful gluten free fried (yes fried - with a designated frier)!

Blanca Hermida

Best burger and gluten free bun!

atc

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

Michael Pickerill

Amazing Gluten Free options. They actually change their gloves if you ask. Gluten free chicken nuggets were “kid approved”! Burgers were juicy tasted fresh and the gf buns did not fall apart! And most importantly we were serenaded with Christian music.

Dave Baco

No gluten free options as provided. Terrible wait staff... loud personal conversations, music playing had explicit language for all to hear! Chicken was dryer than our table. The cheese dog was just a sliced burnt hot dog with slices of processed american cheese. No windows! Sad service and food for the price!

Ashlie Collins

Gluten free fryer, gluten free buns or lettuce option. Variety of GF sauces and toppings. Knowledgeable staff and protocols - have always loved it here and so excited I can keep coming post Celiac diagnosis!

Kara Nash

What a lovely and magical place! This was a trip to Brevard to get my Sylvan camper serviced. I plan to come to the Morning Social every time I'm in Brevard now. I love how kind and present the staff was. The food was amazing and catered to many different dietary restrictions. I loved my gluten free waffles and the portion was incredibly generous. Even my dog enjoyed herself. Also, the bathroom stalls have hammers for door handles. How cool is that? A+ and many thanks.

MaryAnn Barnes

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Taylor Freeman

Five people's thoughts are included in this evaluation! We made the right decision when we dropped by to lunch on the way from Washington, DC, to Atlanta! Oh my goodness, the burgers that we all ordered looked fantastic. Because I have a gluten sensitivity, I went with the gluten-free bun, and it was the softest gluten-free burger bun I've ever had. Despite the crowds (which we can understand because it's so delicious), the service was prompt, and the staff was really kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed this place!

Connor Butterfield

The best burger place! Great grass fed beef and good gluten free buns

Norman Carter

Stale gluten buns fall apart when you touch it. Good burger otherwise

Marilyn Wallace

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!

Anna Crist

this place is amazing! they have scrumptuous fries and tots (try them fire-spiced) and a killer veggie smashburger. their sides are gluten free and they have a gluten free bun available. duke's mayonnaise packets abound.

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.

Chiwoowoo

In town with family and didn’t know if there was a place I could eat safely since I am gluten, dairy etc “free”. Found this place on a gluten free app and my family lovingly decided to try it out so I could join them in a meal. Had to do take out with time constraints in mind. Service was A+. Shocking and unexpected that EVERYONE loved their food. My mom was concerned about not eating “badly” while in town and she was so pleased. She even said that it was the best meal she has had in a long long while. Everything was absolutely delicious. Three of us had the same meal choice and we all devoured it.

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 😁

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
