Top 50 Gluten-Free Casual Spots to Enjoy in Massachusetts

Grace Innamorato

Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Kristin Knowlton

Very loud and a tad over priced. Best gluten free pizza crust in the area. Most, if not all the dishes I sampled needed salt, but otherwise delicious and excellent ingredients.

Fred Lybrand

Ask for what’s fresh! I was so Excited for gluten free donuts doughnuts 🍩 I asked for what I wanted - what I should’ve done is ask for what’s fresh! Or freshest? 2 of the 6 I ordered weren’t fresh anymore. They were a little stale. And the coconut oil - which I was really excited about - had gone a little rancid. Who knew? Maybe they should toss things out quicker? Or maybe GF don’t have the shelf stability. I will definitely be back - for the blueberry, the plain cake, and the plain + chocolate, but I may never eat coconut donut again. Also, the jelly stuffed was really brittle, dry and crumbly. I did make it in right at closing ~ 2 pm.

GF fryer! Say less.

I had heard a lot about Legal Sea Food and had been advised to try it out especially as they pride themselves in gluten free fish fry and have other fried items all dedicated gf . We started with the house sangrias : one red & one white . Refreshing especially on a hot and humid summer evening . Ordered the classic fish and chips prepared gluten free (no pictured) and the cod that was salt-vinegar crusted with a bed of bacon slaw , potato wedges and a lightly mustard remoulade. Delicious dish . Fish was perfectly cooked and crispy . The sauce was just right and tied it all together . Staff was a bit slow but there was a huge amount of people during peak times so they tried to keep up . I could have had more sangrias but it was a little hard to flag staff down . Not a big concern . The food was excellent ! Although I had been told no reservations were needed I was glad I made them in advanced as the place was hoping and can get a little loud . Very nice experience will be back next time in Boston

Arianna Goldstein

Amazing. They have a celiac family member. Fresh pasta homemade!!

Michaela Hummer

Tuesdays are full gluten free nights!

Danielle D

Delicious and dedicated gluten free, mostly dairy free as well

Jordan Tessler

Amazing mexi food! The tacos were awesome and basically everything on the menu (besides dessert) is gluten free. We got a bunch of tacos to try and the guac, which was so flavorful and a decent portion size. Pork belly taco was the best imo, also so fun to try the fried fish (I was told it’s fried in rice flour/batter). Watermelon marg was delicious. They have outdoor seating, but it’s not the nicest views (street/parking lot) and indoors is a nice atmosphere, so I’d recommend going inside

Lewis Beynon

Fantastic spot for interesting, creative food without breaking the bank. 1 drink and enough food we all left satisfied was only 120 bucks total for a table of 4. Our servers were fantastic and the kitchen and serving staff were very accommodating of my girlfriend's celiac concerns. Absolutely fantastic.

Samantha Patterson

Having visited this establishment on several occasions, I have consistently found the food to be delightful. My nephew and I often encounter challenges in locating dining options that cater to our dietary needs, as he has a gluten allergy and I have a dairy allergy. However, the staff here have always been incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating. The food is consistently served promptly and prepared to perfection. I would certainly recommend this place for a quick and enjoyable meal.

Amber Easterling

Always a great option for gluten-free Asian food! All GF options are listed on the menu! We had the chicken lettuce wraps, as well as the chicken and broccoli! It was delicious!

Amber Easterling

Homemade GF pasta and mozzarella sticks!!! Yes please!! My sister and I both have celiac and our waiter put us at ease right away, letting us know that the gluten-free food was prepared in a separate area. I did have my 10 year old niece with me. She was not as appreciative of the menu. There were not many options for her as a child.

Hannah Berry

They have a separate kitchen for the GF foods, and they have amazing GF calzones!

Every single thing we ordered what amazing. Best gluten free food I've had in my 8 years of being diagnosed with Celiac disease

Lorna Vaughen

Dedicated to gluten free. The afternoon tea set was just like when I went to London (before I had been diagnosed with celiac). Amazing! Expensive, but so so fun.

Raena Woods

Great selection of gluten free treats. I was thrilled how much care the server took and my meal even had a little toothpick that said gluten free. So reassuring!

Eryn Thompson

I never thought, after being diagnosed with Celiac, that I'd get to enjoy a butternut donut the way I did as a kid. It was a staple of my childhood that I didn't know I missed until I got a chance to try it again, and it was 10/10. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who is Gluten Free. I've had no gluten flare, and I'm highly reactive. And it wasn't a compromise, or a "best we can get". It was genuinely delicious, with the right texture to the dough, crunch, and flavor. I hope the people at Kanes know how much being able to truly enjoy their amazing donuts means to those of us who miss it. Thank you!

Hannah

had both the sushi bites and the poke and both were amazing. loved the restaurant was so friendly for gluten free people. Tried the fire luau bowl and it was delicious, it was a great portion too. the sauce options for the sushi bite were delicious. the passionfruit vinaigrette in particular was amazing but the spicy mayo and pineapple aioli were also great.

Kaitlin Kobrenski

All but one item on their menu can be made gluten free. All fryers are dedicated GF. Great meal!

Matthew McPheeters

Great Gluten Free donuts! Lots of variety.

Large, light and airy (think windows, wicker & large potted plants in an old factory building). However, there was no greeter; we sat at the counter and were ignored. Finally figured out we had to order around the corner at the register. The associate (they were all young) answered the phone while we were ordering. Very rude. We sat at a table and waited for our drinks (first) and sandwiches (a somewhat lengthy second) to be delivered. Gluten-free sandwiches were a disappointment--$10 & $11 for a BLT and a cheese & egg served on small sandwich-sized bread. Large drinks (the size of a Dunkin' medium) were $5 @. Neither of us will ever return. (P.S. Parking is horrendous. We nabbed a spot in the adjacent small lot but we would not have walked over from the municipal garage for the Gallagher Terminal.)

Emily Aldous

Food was delicious, server was kind and very accommodating of my friend who has celiac! She even marked up the menu with all the foods that she could and couldn’t eat to make it easier for her. We both got paellas and oh my god the portion is HUGE so if you are going with another person make sure to share it btw the two of you. Great dinner spot in the city

Paul Cannon

The veal and eggplant parm was AMAZING. These guys rival Mother Wolf in Vegas and have more gluten free options. This place is top notch!

Jana Scholten

If you're looking for flavorful food and healthy options, give this place a try! Delicious! Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available too. You'll need more than one taco to fill you up. Yummy food so worth it!

Sydney Erickson

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.

catherine stark

What a fun retro diner! Staff very friendly. Atmosphere great along with music. Food excellent with nice sized portions. I needed a Gluten free breakfast and gf Belgian waffle with very fresh strawberries was delicious! Other gluten free options available too. And real maple syrup available on request at a minimal price.

Marcy A

This was my first time here. I chose the restaurant based on the proximity to the hotel I was staying and a quick review of the menu. It had many gluten free items, like 90% of the menu could accommodate a gf option. I was not disappointed! The crispy chicken tenders were very good. Crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. The staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to visit again

Meera L

Lively, spacious restaurant! Great for groups. I was impressed by the food, especially the wide variety of gluten free options. I assume they must have a GF fryer because there were some non-traditional gluten free options, such as sesame chicken. I enjoyed the salmon bowl and brussels sprouts. The guacamole was great as well. I think these were the most crispy tater tots I have ever had. The menu is quite broad, you will find something for everyone.

Scott Jensen

Looks and feels like your typical "house of pizza" but low and behold it is a gluten-free person's dream with so many delicious options which I love they're calzones!!!!

Debiana Raposo

Amazing gluten free food. Literally so good just go.

Brendan Walsh

Best Place to come especially for my daughter’s celiac disease. They do an amazing job Catering to food allergies and have a variety of gluten free options! They take special care into serving the food by the manager specifically making sure no cross contamination!

veena manjunath

We had such an amazing experience here during our visit to Boston! My son is a celiac and Jamie, the manager was just so amazing and understanding. The whole staff was so careful, took such good care of us and made sure all the food was gluten free. The food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We loved the place so much, we came back again! Highly recommend!

Grace Anbouba

Super tasty food with lots of options and reasonable pricing for Boston. They have a build your own bowl that is great for allergies. They gave me a printed handout with labels as to what had certain allergens and most of the mix ins were gluten free.

Roxie Boston

Caters to gluten free peeps!! And Diana was amazeballs!! She was so helpful and informative on the GF stuff.

Stacy Wilson

If your gluten free this place is it!! I’m talking best food I’ve had in a long time! The staff was amazing and super personable. The atmosphere was great not too loud but definitely busy. Even so we got our food within a decent time and everything was fresh and hot. Did I mention there were so many gluten free options!! Ive been here before and will definitely keep returning!

P West

Had lunch there because they have great gluten-free options. I got the fish and chips and hubby got the shrimp and crab cake combo. They were both delicious. We thought we had room for dessert and while the key lime pie and Boston Cream cake were also very good, we were too full to finish them. We came in contact with several employees and each one was cheerful and helpful.

Naomi Schneider

Truly most amazing gluten free dining experience I’ve had since being diagnosed in may. Gluten free bread which was wonderful and in a separate bowl from the normal bread. Everything fried is gluten free so I ate the calamari which was delicious. I ordered sushi and they gave me gluten free soy sauce. Overall, they are very accommodating and will make sure you are eating safe and make you are satisfied! I highly recommend if you are in the area!

QFamily

Our server Vivian was excellent - professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food and wine were great too (as always). We really appreciate all of the gluten free options as well and the gluten free rolls are delicious.

Liz Purvis

Dedicated GF Fryer and amazing cornflake crusted Chicken Tenders! So delicious and everything is brought out by the manager with an allergy pick in it. This Celiac recommends~ Definitely enjoy it on your next outing 💚

Burlington Mall's Legal Sea Foods is located at 75 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. In every aspect, Legal Sea Foods at Burlington Mall surpassed my expectations. The spotless, airy, and stylish ambiance set the stage for an incredible meal as soon as we entered. To make us feel cared for and welcomed, the staff went above and beyond. Eating out can frequently be stressful for someone with celiac disease, but this was not the case here. The fact that practically the whole menu had gluten-free options truly delighted me. Such a wide selection is uncommon, and the level of care taken to accommodate dietary requirements was unmatched. A considerate and comforting touch were the gluten-free rolls, which were brought out by a different waiter to prevent cross-contamination. The waitress who waited on us was simply wonderful. Extremely kind, informed, and went above and beyond by suggesting a favorite dish. When my friends adopted their recommendation, he was ecstatic! It's encouraging to see that the employees actually care about the experiences of their visitors. Fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared, the food was amazing. The feeling of being able to savor a meal without worrying about gluten contamination is difficult to describe. I felt "normal" eating out for the first time in a long time. I would go here every day if I could, so my only wish is that it were closer to home! We appreciate Legal Sea Foods for reviving the joy of dining out and setting the bar for outstanding service. Strongly advised!

Came in around 7 pm on a Saturday night and got a table for 3 right away! It is not too fancy and I would describe it as more of an upscale casual restaurant. As a gluten free person, this restaurant has tons of options and all of the fried foods are already made naturally gf so there’s plenty of dishes to choose from. They also gave me gluten free dinner rolls when they brought the bread by! I ordered the lobster roll and had it on a gluten free bun (you can also ask for a lettuce wrap). The waitress felt like my gf lobster roll looked smaller than my brother’s regular lobster roll (even though they said they weigh out each portion), so they brought me an extra portion of lobster to make up for it! All that to say, we really enjoyed our experience at Legal Sea Foods and will definitely be back!

Alexandra

All I need to say is YUM! The food was on point! Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. They catered to my son’s Gluten allergy with care. TOM is amazing! He didn’t just give customer service, he gave us a guest experience to make us feel as if we were a guest in their home. He blessed our family with an experience we won’t forget.

Alicia D.

Awesome spot! Our server (Luisa?) was fantastic - very kind and attentive. The menu is marked for all different allergens and they have a separate fryer for gluten-free (the pit-spiced fries are so good!). Great vibes, great drink selection, and really good food.

Lauren Murawski

Stayc

I was throughly blown away when the waiter told us that everything is fried in the same oil. Seafood and French fries, same oil. So forget about French fries if you have a seafood and gluten allergy. Why aren't fries cooked separately? The waiter was kind and considerate. He waiter was kind, and his service was excellent.

Ryan O'Donnell

Delicious! A solid, gluten-free meal that my wife and I could both enjoy. The cocktails were strong and food. The lobster was delicious. A very good option for folks eating gluten free.

The last three times we have been here, the fish has come out still frozen on the inside. The fried haddock used to be fresh (a work of art) but it appears they have pivoted to buying frozen fried haddock and tossing it into the fryer which does not completely cook the frozen fish. We also received beans with macaroni bits in it. My household has celiac's so we did not appreciate the cross contamination. Overall the quality has gone wildly downhill. You are better off just cooking at home.

Mel

One of the best places to go if you have a gluten allergy. They are super well trained in allergy stuff and incredibly accomodating. Chicken sandwich and Louisiana pasta are my two faves.
