Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Galveston

Hayley H (Hayley H)

I can’t say enough good things, every experience I’ve had here has been great. I’m gluten free and visit family in Galveston a couple of times a year but just found this place. Everyone has been so helpful when I’ve had questions. I’ve tried the gluten free pop tart, gluten free cinnamon roll, gluten free key lime pie, and gluten free vegan meatball pocket and gf v curry pocket and it’s all been soooooo delicious. It’s all so flaky and moist and some of the best gf pastries I’ve ever had. Their matcha is fine, kind of bland and too sweet but their iced tea is tasty especially when paired with a nice sweet treat. Cannot recommend this place enough and I’m so glad it exists!

Loved this restaraunt. Very friendly to gluten allergies with separate kitchen, GF menu, and knowledgable staff.

My husband and I are from Houston and visit Galveston often, but this spot is officially going on our must-visit list every time we’re in town. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. The restaurant was packed, but we were seated quickly by the sweetest staff member, Sherry, who made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Blanca, was an absolute gem—kind, attentive, and quick to bring me a full gluten-free menu the moment I mentioned my food allergies (gluten and dairy). I had called ahead to ask if I could bring my own dairy-free alternatives, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. And the best surprise? They have gluten-free bread! For anyone with celiac or dietary restrictions, you know how exciting that is. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and quick to strike up a conversation. We never once felt like we were just another table to turn over—there was so much heart in the service and it truly made the experience stand out. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great food . Great service. Clearly marked gluten free options

Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff.

Always our favorite stop when on the island. They offer gluten-free food so this makes my wife happy.

Kasie was great! The burgers were huge and we needed three gluten free special orders that were handled perfectly 11/10

I ordered the shrimp burger and it was fabulous. My sister who is celiac and allergic to fish was with me. She ordered a simple burger patty, but as they make sure the grill was clean. They must’ve done just that because she enjoyed every bite and had no flareups. Really enjoyed this restaurant and we’ll go back to try something new next time.

Took FOREVER. We got the wrong pizza & had to figure out ourselves whose it actually was. The pizza was so burnt & dry. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The gluten-free pizza was good but the other pizza took another 50 mins to come out so my family couldn’t eat together. My mom had to go ask about our pizza and then they finally brought it out.

Rebecca Bentley

We stopped here for gluten free pizza. Everything we ordered was great. The gluten free crust was nice and crispy and the marinara was delicious.

Grab yourself a slice of Galveston Paradise at Papa’s Pizza! My recent visit to Papa’s Pizza in Galveston was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly smiles and a lively atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of this beautiful island. These folks know how to work hard and have a good time while they do it. Of course, the pizza itself was the star of the show. We got the Gluten-Free Philly Cheese Steak Pizza.. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and you could tell that high-quality ingredients are a priority. The Papa’s team made sure our order was correct and that we had all of the sauces and condiments we needed. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the outstanding service. I want to give a special shoutout to three amazing staff members who went above and beyond: Isabelle greeted me with such genuine enthusiasm and made me feel right at home. She helped me pay at the counter and was very kind and thorough. James gave me my pizza, and he had a few laughs about my order. The team thought that we had ordered a gluten-free Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which would be a pretty hilarious order at a pizza shop.Tony took our order over the phone and was exceptionally courteous. He made sure that our order went through even though we ordered really late. The combination of delicious pizza, a vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service from Isabelle, James, and Tony makes Papa’s Pizza a must-visit in Galveston. I can’t wait to come back for another slice (or two!) of paradise!

Super cute atmosphere, a few allergies in the party and chef alberto came out to the table to help and made the BEST food-steak was so good and the redfish tacos were out of this world!!!!!!!!! I'm celiac and it was totally safe for gluten free :) also the cheddar grits were fab

Gaidos is a standard in Galveston and it's clear why! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They assisted with any questions I had regarding gluten free items on the menu and were able to make great recommendations. Our appetizer and dessert were amazing, I'm still dreaming about the soup of the day made by the chef! I was a bit disappointed for my entree as the sides and the meat used the same seasoning so the dish lacked depth, but everything else was amazing. The gift shop inside is also very cute.

Layne Trantham

Food was delicious! They offer gluten free pasta, buns and pizza crust. I have celiac and they made sure to take the extra precautions so the food was safe for me to eat. Great flavor. Crème brûlée was so so good! Our waitress was very friendly and sweet.

For being celiac they went above and beyond--from the server to the owner. Nathan our server knew the menu so well and directed me with the gluten free options that would be safe. Nathan made our experience amazing. The owner was also so friendly and welcoming. Since it was our wedding night the owner and Nathan made it very special for us and we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our evening. Hands down one of the best places I've ever been. I will definitely be coming back here!

A cozy restaurant for cozy food! They had all gluten free options marked on their menu. I ordered the catfish tacos and they hit just the spot! I definitely recommend this place for a reasonably priced, tasty meal.

Angel did an incredible job of answering all of my gluten allergy questions. He ensured that I felt safe with my meal and the service was wonderful! We truly enjoyed our experience and will be going back! There is no gluten free menu but most items are already gluten free. The chips are not gluten free but that was fine by me!

Victoria Gilliland

Went here for valentines, hands down the BEST Italian food I have had in the states. Amazing atmosphere and experience. Must try their risotto and their signature Bellini! Lots of gluten friendly options too!

Ian McLeod

Easy to book, initial service great. Asked about a gluten free bread option for a patty melt and it all started to fail from that point. Initial order ok, some alcohol, an appetiser for 2, and patty melts (one regular, one with gluten free bread). Patty melts never arrived after an hour and we asked and they re checked our initial order. Blamed the kitchen for being confused, but I think they forgot to put the orders through. They arrived 5 mins later. No swiss cheese, looking overdone. Taken away to sort and arrived later. Other cheese mix was used, non-gluten free patty melt meal had burnt patty and burnt bread and some odd cheese mix that had set like rubber. Complained again but past feeling hungry. Given them their due, we only paid for alcohol in the end. However, it was the worst meal I can recall in many years. Warning: make sure they fully understand what’s required for gluten free as you order. We won’t be visiting again… I’ve now altered my review (overall star rating) based on a discussion I’ve since had with the Gen Mgr, and I believe it was a one off issue, and he has already used it as the basis for training and I thank him for offering credit and moreso for reaching out to me.

Great for beach side casual food and drinks. Staff very attentive and helpful. Made my gluten-free lunch enjoyable and were careful about cross contamination.

Maria Newton

We are proud and frequent Landry’s members. Waited an hour for our food! Couldn’t find our waiter. Got water but no bread! Service at our table was sooo slow! Other waiters were working hard. I had to ask one to find our waiter. My husband ordered white rice off of the gluten free menu. Came out crunchy, not fully cooked. Put fried onion rings on my grandson’s gluten free taco plate. No gf bread at any Landry’s except Saltgrass…Why????? So very disappointed!

Melanie Wright

I liked the atmosphere of being at someone's house, especially with the relaxed way of ordering and sitting yourself, but the food was just okay. There were not very many gluten free options.
