Top 25 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Saint Johns

Jennifer Kiep

We stopped in for our anniversary lunch and could not be more pleased with our meals! They have so many gluten free options and they make sure those options are full of flavor! They are happy to answer any questions or concerns as well. The sushi was also absolutely delicious! Great dining experience.

The food is great but your mobile website is awful. Every time I tried to view the menu on my phone it would let me scroll down for a couple seconds and then it kicked me all the way back out to the front of the site. There is no way to view your full gluten free menu. I tried it several times and I was kicked back out every single time. Get somebody who knows what they’re doing to work on your site because I almost didn’t order anything it was such a pain. Otherwise I like everything you guys do but man that mobile website is truly terrible.

This place has become our regular spot because everything on the menu is fantastic! We always order the garlic knots, mozzarella sticks, Tony Soprano sandwich, and a pepperoni pizza — and everything is consistently delicious. The gluten-free pizza is really good too, one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Everyone should try the Nonna pizza — it’s a must! The sauce and crust on that one are on another level. On top of the great food, the owners and staff make you feel like you’re being welcomed by family. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving great Italian comfort food!

We ordered takeout. The time quoted was spot on, we had hot pizza when we arrived home. We tried the gluten free pizza and the hot honey pepperoni pizza. The gluten free crust needs a little revamping, but good. The hot honey pizza was disappointing. We’ve had the lasagna pizza before and it was excellent! Not so this time. The pizza was way undercooked so the dough was almost raw under the sauce. The sauce itself was quite bland. And this is nitpicking, but the pepperoni could have been could have been more evenly distributed by a kindergartner! This was disappointing because you really needed pepperoni in each bite as the pizza was quite bland.

Best Gluten free pizza in the surrounding area.

Wouldn’t get the gluten free pizza ever

Keira Packard

The food was pretty good. Loved that they had an option for gluten free toast. We dod have someone come up to us and ask us if we wanted to buy a print for their Christian mission which was off putting.

Aggy DiTullio

Always fresh and plenty of organic options. I eat vegan and gluten free. They cater to both these preferences with lots of animal protein options as well.

John Putnam

Amazing pizza, and the only place I know that has gluten free crust with no egg. As someone with a ton of food allergies, this place has saved me on nights where I have no energy to cook. Can't recommend enough!

Teresa Smith

Just had a Cuban sandwich here on tostones due to avoiding gluten as much as possible. It was amazing! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was fun!

William Adams

I rarely leave harsh reviews, but I and three friends really were disappointed tonight. Our server was clearly untrained and poorly managed. We waited forever for our drinks, then we were served two and then nothing for easily 15 minutes. We would prompt our server but nothing would happen. He had an air pod in one ear the whole time. We would order another drink…and it would never arrive. One member of our party clearly communicated her need for gluten free sushi. Her order arrived and was full of gluten rich tempura! Also, the protein portions of the other meals were meager.

Alexa Dagostino

I honestly am so surprised this place isn’t more gluten friendly as the owner has to eat gluten free too. The food is great but there are a LOT of things that you can’t eat here. It’s not my go to spot only because it doesn’t offer more options. And some of their dishes would be so easy to make gluten free. Makes no sense.

We eat here once a week. I'm gluten free Celiac and always order Hibachi chicken gluten free with brown rice. Always excellent food. Always clean and good service.

This restaurant served North Indian cuisine with Nepali choices too! There were many vegan options for me, and lots of other interesting choices for my partner. (Menus on iPads with markings for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free.) Cocktails: I had the “Brackish Cucumber Martini” which contained Elderflower and cucumber vodkas and freshly mulled cucumber with lime - not too sweet and very fresh tasting. My partner had the “Devdas” cocktail which had mint and and freshly mulled blueberries and blueberry syrup, with 2 oz Woodford Reserve bourbon. Delicious and not too sweet. Loved that they put a large whiskey ice cube in it. Appetizers: Appetizer flavors were quite distinct. Vegetable pakora with tamarind and mint sauces. Crunchy and great flavor! Gobhi Manchurian cauliflower was served in an amazing red sauce. Breads: We ordered poori and Onion kulchi. Both breads came out hot! Poori (2 of them) were huge! (Onion kulchi is not stuffed with onion; the dough is laced with it - fyi.) Main dishes: Butter Chicken had very tender dark meat chicken strips in a butter gravy masala with house spices. My partner described it as rich and buttery, with a delicious flavor. I had the Aloo Chana (chickpea and potatoes in onion sauce and spices) Great sauce flavor; tice was cooked perfectly. I asked for a “2” level of spiciness, which seemed like a medium spice level to me (there are 5 levels). Perfect! Desserts: The chef made me a special vegan version of the Raspberry Parfait with fresh berries, coconut cream and syrup and bits of granola on top. Fresh and delicious. My partner was had the traditional Gulab Jamun - fried dough balls soaked with a sweet (but not overly sweet!) sugar syrup. He also had the Chai milk tea, which had a strong cardamom flavor. Then the entire staff came out and sang Happy Birthday to me (a big surprise!) complete with a tambourine player and another dish of Gulab Jamun to take home! So great !!! Shout out to Raunak, who was our main server - he was extremely attentive and solicitous, with great suggestions. Actually made our cocktails! Incredibly nice - made us feel very welcome. In fact, the whole staff, including the manager, was just lovely! We will be back, with others!

Stopped here while traveling, looking for gluten-free options for my wife. We both got the chicken bowls. They were delicious. I wish there was one of these in our town. Very large portions, fresh food. Quick and friendly service.

Tickled to death to have found this place. I called ahead and spoke to Andy to ask questions about gluten free food preparation and options. Not often do I get a warm and fuzzy feeling about a new place, but I got it here. I asked if it's best to call my order in or place it online and he offered to take it then. The store still didn't open for another ten minutes. Shame on me for not getting the names of the two people at the counter when I picked up the order because they were delightful. The young woman was warm and welcoming, the young man was engaging and helpful. I mentioned I had called and spoke to Andy. Turns out Andy is the manager and is out of state even though he took my call (I had selected 1 to speak with manager) AND took my order. He called the store to tell them the order and to handle appropriately due to the food restrictions. It was really nice that even though the manager was out of town, the team was still united with proper communication. It was a great experience with the staff for sure. The burger was delicious! I do wish their was a gluten free side option, but that's ok. I will absolutely be coming back to the Burger Barn and will be sure to get the names of those individuals that helped me today, too! Thanks for a delicious lunch and taking great care of my dietary needs today. See you again soon!

Great food and thumbs up for the ability to request gluten free hibachi!

Alene Lang

Been here twice, once on a girls’ night out and again with my family (two young kids) and I’ll keep coming back. Service is good and the food is tasty! I’d say it’s slightly more authentic than your American Italian so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 1 star off because service can slip a bit when busy, needing to find a server for water and slower wait time. Big fan of the calamari, apricot chicken with tossed garlic linguine on side, and seafood risotto—HUGE chunks of lobster and plentiful seafood cooked well. A couple things to note: -No kids menu (or entertainment like crayons, not a problem)…waitress gave few options like flatbread pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken tenders for the littles -Gluten Free pasta is a minimal up charge -Happy Hour is a must for appetizers! (Half off before 6pm—Didn’t get drinks so I can’t say anything in that regard) Recommend: Apricot Chicken, Seafood Risotto, Chicken Parmesan, Calamari

Great for Celiac! They prepare the gluten free meals in a separate space in the back. My daughter has never been sick and we always have a great time.
