Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Delight in Chicago

Svenja M

There are three different types of gluten-free donuts, kept separately. I have Celiac disease and had no issues.

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

Went in on a Monday night. Very busy and sat at the bar. Wxplanes to the bartender our allergies, I’m celiac and my wife is allergic to cilantro. Placed our orders and the kitchen manager, Manny, came out and discussed our orders and issues and talked us through what we would enjoy within our allergies. The food came we wished we had ordered 2’nd’s !! Delicious

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Emmy Johnson

Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

Claire Nelson

Elizabeth was a fantastic server and very helpful with my dietary restrictions! I am gluten free and dairy free.

Charlotte Slater

I initially visited this restaurant for its gluten-free options, but it exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, incredibly satisfying, and left me eager to return. I dined here multiple times during my visit and always left happy and fulfilled. The service was consistently friendly and professional.

Nicholas Sanchez

Very bed establishment. Very accommodating to my celiac girlfriend, and food was delicious as always.

The place itself was really clean, and the workers were super polite & nice!! Location is also good because you can buy a bowl and then walk on over to the lake, which is exactly what we did. In terms of food, I think there are better-tasting places and a better bang for your buck. This place is REALLY good for those who are gluten-free and also if you’re vegetarian. The amount of protein you get, especially if you opt for the salmon or crispy chicken, is VERY small. It is not worth the price you are paying. But, if you are vegetarian and care more for all the other toppings, you’ll be satisfied. I think this is a very unique place with its korean-inspired ingredients combined with a make-your-bowl experience. I love that i could get a quick fix of kimchi (although it wasn’t really authentic kimchi). The noodles were good, i would like to try the rice next time. Perhaps it’s also the combo of ingredients that you get that make a difference in taste. I wasn’t able to finish my bowl. Not sure. I would be willing to come back & try again but not for a while. Service was 5/5 though!

Chase was amazing! Made my sister’s bday dinner special & gave special attention to the gluten-free choices to make sure the dishes were gluten-free. 10/10! Highly recommend Aba!

Favorite restaurant in Chicago. Never disappoints! Always accommodates gluten free allergy.

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.

Went back-to-back mornings, delicious GF breakfasts, separate GF menu, food and beverages were excellent. We had Jack as our server both mornings and he was excellent, provided great options and understood gluten allergy options well.

Whitney Dreher

This place was so good!! I got the chorizo and cheese taquitos and they were fantastic. The drinks were all pretty good and the price wasn’t crazy! Would 100% go back

Meghan Simon

This crew is so lovely and kind! I came for a chicken sandwich and fries (all gluten free AND delicious which is a DREAM) and left with a Shake of the Month which was chocolate covered strawberry. Thanks guys 🥰

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Kaitlyn M

I’m a celiac and these donuts are the only ones I’ve ever had to have a good texture! I didn’t get sick and the gf donuts were in a separate case from the rest. Also try the Havana iced coffee, it was amazing!!

Beth Cummings

So many options and very knowledgeable

Liv Laine

Such great knowledge about allergies! I notified my server about being gluten free and almost immediately the manager came out saying she’s noted the allergy and let the chefs know and went over their allergy protocols. They can make almost anything gluten free, they told me just to pick out what I wanted and they can make it happen. Probably the best restaurant experience I’ve had!

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Phil Cole

Rock music, best burger I've ever had and Gluten free buns, fries and wings!!! Go you won't regret it!

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

we got the shakshula with gf toast, enchiladas, and chilaquiles!! it was amazing and they put an allergy marker for celiac.

Elena Dowin Kennedy

Excellent cider and food. As a celiac it was wonderful to have so many gluten free options. I tried the cauliflower wings, fried pickles, shrimp and grits, and paella. All were excellent, but if I had to choose the paella was the standout. Trying many ciders the Vibes from the Orchard and E-phoria were the standouts. Both were uniquely flavorful, crisp, and not overly sweet. We sat outside as a group of 7 with little kids and they had a blast moving about outside, but service was slow.

Lauren DiSandro

First time eating here. They were great about handling my gluten allergy. The mushroom casserole was DELISH, the horseradish cream with the prime rib OUT OF THIS WORLD, yes it is thin sliced prime rib. I have NO IDEA why anyone is upset about this??? The meat is great quality, cooked to the perfect temperature, well seasoned (the only dish we had that WASNT over salted). It’s a generous serving- the two slices equal the same size hunk of beef I’ve enjoyed at any other steak-centric elevated pub type restaurant. It’s like a cooler version of RPM steak. My partner loved the sticky date cake for dessert, the brown butter ice cream was mid; only improved by the “hot” fudge (more lukewarm than hot in temperature). The ice cream didnt taste much like brownbutter at all. Would have appreciated the option for a salted caramel instead of only hot fudge. The service was really quite good, if veering on too eager. Our server was kind, approachable, made a great surf and turf entree recommendation. The shrimp scampi (about 6 large two-bite shrimp in a buttery sauce; no noodles) alongside the prime rib, mushroom casserole and the wedge. She also offered to bring a sample of two pinots and a procesco for my partner try, which we would have never presumed to ask for. My biggest complaint of every dish, except the prime rib, including the wedge salad were 2 notches too salty. I would have enjoyed it much more if I didnt feel slowly dehydrated by the sodium. A dry wine or soda water is a good idea to have on hand. The place is quite large and noisy, leaning dangerously close to a cheesecake factory vibe, though it’s saved by the decor which is incredibly charming and homey with bespoke touches like a vintage linenkugel, very midwest, sign and what looks to be grandma-stitched, framed needlepoint roses. We will definitely be back and look forward to sitting in a more secluded part of the restaurant.

Marlene M

Really good, healthy options, generous portions, gluten-free and vegetarian options too. Alex was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat here again.

There was a 2 hour wait to get into Au Cheval; and many people we talked to highly recommended we go there. They said it was an amazing burger, and we needed to try it out. So... we waited our two hours and wandered other establishments, wondering what this burger would be like. Firstly, hype is a dangerous thing, especially in the food industry, and when we were finally allowed to enter and eat we noticed that the menu was down to Earth and there wasn't anything too crazy or unique... But.... I tell you what, it was a delicious hamburger, and the place reminded me of a nostalgic diner feel with a modern hipster take; it was highly enjoyable to be there and to just experience your meal with whoever you chose to share it with. They took their food and their reputation very seriously; they paid attention to every detail, and they were highly aware of food allergies and how to navigate the menu for people with Gluten Allergies like myself. The hamburger was delcious... complimented with their in-house "Dijonaise" sauce. The coffee was amazing... but what made our experience even better was when my buddy asked for some real cream for his coffee. Our waitress proceeded to go into the kitchen and to make a fresh blend of milk and cream to ensure that he could thoroughly enjoy his meal and coffee. The food was tasty, the staff was great, and you could tell that everyone who worked there cared about the customer experience and the reputation of the restaurant. Highly recommend you grab a bite when you can. Allergy friendly options are available.

Best gluten free Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Gluten free chicken Parmesan is to die for

Corie Thomas

My child and I went there after an appt just searching for a quick snack. I have Celiac and the GF donuts were PHENOMENAL!! So light and fluffy, you can't tell they're GF. We'll definitely be back!

Rebecca Manning

Fantastic breakfast! Server and entire staff were very helpful in assuring my meal was gluten free. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

Christopher Buckhalter

Great experience, gluten friendly. My daughter has celiac, and they were very accommodating

Lisa Patenaude

My sister has celiac and hasn’t had fried chicken in over 20 years. She ordered it and was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The executive chef came to our table to ask how the meal was for her. The manager spoke with us and was very friendly attentive. She sent us a gluten free dessert to enjoy. This was one of the most enjoyable meals and experience we have ever had. The staff are exceptional.

Sue Whitworth

I attended a baby shower held in the private back room of The Range. A delicious gluten free brunch buffet was served. Everything was hot and tasty. Especially loved the turnip omelets. I love trying new dishes. The service was spot on.

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Cole Nisson

As someone with celiac, finding a donut spot that actually offers good gluten-free options is rare—but Do-Rite totally delivered. Their gluten-free donuts are soft, flavorful, and honestly taste just as good as the regular ones (my non-GF friends were impressed too). I tried the vanilla bean and the chocolate glazed—both were awesome. They’re careful about cross-contamination, which gave me peace of mind, and the staff was super helpful when I asked questions. I didn’t try the chicken sandwich, but I’ve heard great things and love that they make everything in small batches. Highly recommend for anyone gluten-free or just looking for a seriously good donut. Do-Rite lives up to the hype!

Chelsea M

Love this location! It's on my walk to work and I often pick up a chai and pastry on my way in. They typically have 3-4 Gluten Free items! I appreciate how GF friendly they are.

Beth Cummings

Have been visiting The warbler for years. The staff is very knowledgeable and I’ve never had an issue. Highly recommend

Stephen Walsh

So excited to see gluten free options. Great food great service.

George W

Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.

Taylor Nicole

Au Cheval has a Small CHEVAL in Hyde Park that has gluten free options, and alcohol with ID for delivery.

Jessiah Ardor

Excellent food, excellent service. My wife has celiac disease, and the gluten-free options here are amazing! There is good customer service, but every once in awhile you get lucky and experience greatness: this is what Chris P. exemplified. 5 stars. Would come here again and again.

Rachel Mandelker

The staff is very knowledgeable and kind! I’ve never gotten sick here :)

Ellen Chlumecky

Our waitress Emily was an angel ! Took my gluten allergy into consideration and provided great recommendations. I feel she was often described as a pleasure to have in class. Will be coming back soon!
