Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across Charlotte

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.

Wonderful food with a variety of health-conscious options including gluten free and dairy free, including their desserts. We loved it so much we went back twice in the same day haha. Parking is the only challenge, but the food and very friendly service makes it worth it. Highly recommend!

Jersey was our waitress and absolutely was amazing. We came with 3 children and she did everything to make sure the whole family was happy. You can’t find great waitresses like her anymore but she goes over and beyond to ensure her customers are well taken care of. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience. Our family is gluten free so going to a breakfast place with gluten free pancakes/ waffles is really a treat for us. Not only are they gluten free but they are so delicious to eat!

Mystic Mirror

I loved that they had gluten free toast & pancakes. Our guy Tyrone was amazing and attentive. Bringing hot maple syrup for the pancakes was a great touch.

We are so thankful for Sunflour Bakery! For the past 4 years, we’ve ordered a gluten free, vegan cake due to wheat and egg allergies for our daughter, and they always turn out so delicious and beautiful. This year was our favorite! Having a local shop able to accommodate this request is SO amazing to us!

Anthony Monioudis

Great food for those that need to eat gluten free with a large selection of choices. Ditto for those without gluten free needs. From the GF menu: gluten free bread with three option platter; she crab soup; and fish sandwich (haddock) with fries. From the regular menu: chicken picatta with angel hair pasta.

The service was very good, All of the staff are very attentive and very polite and professional. The pizza is delicious We had a margarita a cheese and a gluten-free cheese and pepperoni All of the pizza was very good. The gluten-free was surprisingly good. We had the arugula salad It was delicious My wife said the meatballs were good.

Lindsey

Pastas are great! They have Gluten Free & it is quite tasty. Ask for "no salt" - they tend to oversalt their food.

Sarah Hall

Fabulous food and our server, Jules, was wonderful! Took care of everything needed and did a great job with gluten free. We will for sure be back - thank you, Jules!

Amber Easterling

Had a really great lunch here with my mom. They cook their gluten free pizza on a separate pan and use separate utensils. You do need to let them know that you have celiac so they can note for the kitchen to take extra safety precautions. They offer vegan cheese for those that are dairy free as well!

Chris Kerr

Snooze lives up to its fantastic name and only gets better from there. The atmosphere has a quirky diner vibe, complemented by exceptionally hospitable service. My wife ordered the Denver omelet with hash browns and gluten-free toast, and she devoured nearly all of it—which is a rare feat! I opted for the traditional eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and a side of bacon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life! The bacon was irresistibly crave-worthy, too. Thank you, Snooze, for an outstanding experience!

Susan Estrella

I have been to Sanctuary Bistro many times many times over the years even though it’s over 30 miles away from my home. It’s probably the best restaurant of my lifetime even though I have been blessed to experience many exquisite restaurants especially in the Southern California area where I lived until 6 years ago. The food is amazing, all vegan, gluten free and very delicious! The atmosphere is delightful and so are the people!!! I simply cannot express how much I love this experience and no, I am in no way profiting from this, except in the sense that I believe this business is making our world a better place!!! 😋💝

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.

Amazing food! A lot of natural and organic ingredients with transparent sourcing. So many gluten free options too.

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!

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.

Andrea James

I try to eat at Sixty Vines every time I visit Nashville, you can never go wrong! Most recently I got a gluten-free pizza and devoured the entire thing!

Michael Brock

My wife and I had a fabulous experience at O-Ku! We want to give a special shoutout and thanks to Jewel for taking such great care of us. All the other members of the staff we interacted with were wonderful and so friendly too. Jewel went above-and-beyond to make sure our first meal at O-Ku was special, including taking extra care to make sure my gluten-intolerant wife was well taken care of. O-Ku has an entire special GF menu with an incredible amount of variety of delicious options- this restaurant is a phenomenal options for GF folks. You'll be in heaven. All the food we tried was fantastic, flavorful, and beautifully served. The cocktail we tried was also wonderful! We'll definitely be back. Thank you again, Jewel!

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!

Mel Z.

Great food and amazing sangria! Nice to have a proper restaurant open late. Server was very friendly and attentive, even highlighting gluten free items. 10/10, would definitely return!

Rebecca Woods

Delicious drinks, fantastic food, great service. I especially appreciate that they can make a majority of the menu gluten-free for those of us that are celiacs. They have a fantastic menu of mocktails as well. Definitely plan on going back

C P

One of the only places we found that could cater for gluten and dairy allergies! Very good !

Mary Lathem

Delicious gluten free waffle! Alma has been our server twice and she is always so lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

Lizz Newing

Everything on the menu is gluten free!! Some vegan options too! I love the Mac and cheese bowl and hubby had the Mahana bowl. Great prices for a good amount of food. Did I mention that everything is gluten free??

Blanca Hermida

Best burger and gluten free bun!

Danielle Martin

Brought a group of friends from out of town (6 of us total). Service wasnt terrible but our server was very absent and had to be flagged down and she seemed not to care or want to be there. 2 people asked for no ice in their water and she said "I'll just do no ice for all 6" when that's not what we wanted. She brought the waters then took 4 peoples cocktail orders and then walked away. We watched our drinks sit at the bar for so long when she was nowhere to be found. Someone else had to bring the other 2 people their cocktails when she finally let them order, someone else also brought our second round of drinks to us instead of her. Please keep in mind it was not busy at all when we went- less than 8 tables of people in the whole place. Our other friends (group of 7) at another table arrived after us, got their food before we were even able to order ours. Our server incorrectly told us there was gluten in the items we wanted to order off of the gluten free menu. I was so excited to share this place with friends and we left very disappointed in the service we received. Our other group of friends received excellent service. Additionally, we had a question as we were leaving about the parking at the designated garage for this area and the hostess said shes new and didn't know but also wouldn't ask anyone standing around up front. There appears to be several people working here that just can't be bothered to do anything more than the absolute bare minimum, even on a slow day. In all of our previous visits service has been a bit lack luster but not this bad and the food has been good but not great enough to justify the poor service

On a road trip with my family 1/3 of us are gluten free due to celiac. We found this place on find me gluten free app and it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a minute. They had extensive gluten free options and everything we tried was delicious! Everyone was so nice and the place was clean too. I wish we lived closer because we’d be regulars!! The only way it could’ve been better is if they had more seating inside, but it was all amazing

Amy J

Edit: I've never been there before. I'm from out of town. I didn't know where to stand or where to order. The two ladies working around 11: oo (?) Sat were so friendly and helpful to me. They acted like I was a local and that I wasn't confused at all, lol. The half Pizza they suggested was perfect. Also, they asked me if my gluten order was because of an allergy or preference. No one's ever asked me that before. I am impressed.

Liz Conde

Tim was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my drink order was correct and my entree could be made gluten free!

James Sanchez

Online ordering and takeout is super easy. Pizza is always delicious and the gluten free crust makes this spot one of our classic go to options.

Lindsey G

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW: Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free. The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!

Anton Kossack

Honestly, our waitress was not great. We didn't make it easy for her, with a large group, but she tried to charge us for several drinks more than once, forgot to bring out a gluten-free pizza and forgot one meal completely. We were joking about it when she took the order - it would have been easier had she taken notes of our order!

Cat Rutstein

Rae is wonderful! So helpful and so attentive. Their seasonal berry French toast is amazing. This is one of the few places in south end that offers gluten free options for breakfast. They modify as many things to meet your dietary restrictions as they can, which is greatly appreciated from a girl who needs gluten free food.

Jonathan Mayhorn

This place is a favorite. It has something for nearly everyone, with gluten free and vegetarian options. The falafel is delicious!

Amber Perino

Delicious food and cocktails. Wonderful staff was knowledgeable and accommodating to our dairy free/gluten free dietary restrictions. Sushi was wonderful!

Louis Rubino

Went in today.... I am Gluten-free and Dairy Free. They had good Gluten-free option ... but as you know, Italian is difficult for anything good that's Dairy-free. We ended up deciding to leave. The waiter was fabulous. Took his time going through the menu to help us. I wish I could have tried the food. Great staff. Thanks for taking the time to really try. I have them 5 star for efforts.

A Colaco

Staple restaurant in the SouthPark area. Always appreciate the kindness of the team throughout the dining experience. They are knowledgeable about the menu and helpful when advising about the gluten-free options. There are plenty of options — but it is best to ask for guidance/confirmation. We tried the watermelon and tomato salad this visit and it was GREAT! We also enjoyed the meat and cheese tray!

Cel St.Pierre

Delicious pork barbecue! Three special blends of sauces to compliment pork, beef, and chicken. Staff is very attentive to dietary needs and recommends menu items safe for dairy and gluten-free options. Huge dining room and cozy bar area. Love the hand-wash station in the corner of the dining room.

Ebonique Morman

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

Jesse S

Decent fast casual restaurant with healthy food unless you are salt conscious. Good choice of vegetarian and gluten free food. One big complaint: about half the dishes (saucy ones) were way too salty Advice: the kids meal portion is a bit small. My below average sized toddler finished it all and wanted more pasta.

Dawn Lineman

Such a beautiful place our server took my gluten free order pizza was great it was a snow day at lunch time so quiet Perfect lunch date

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

david catherman

Good gluten free options

Adam Parks

Melinda P

So yummy! Gluten friendly options!

J Miller

I have Celiac disease and Cancer today was a very busy day for me I had a taste for Singapore Mei Fun. The Manager came to me and noticed that I said no heat, no curry no sauce. She suggested to try one of the three sauces she put in my bag. The I used th sauce they use in Lo Mein. It was very tasty, packed with chicken etc the chicken egg roll was cooked to perfection. I am giving a 10 on a scale of five. Job well done I absolutely suggest this restaurant to anyone visiting this weekend. I got the order to go but I am enjoying it as I post this review. Should have taken a photo but it was so good I forgot to lol

Let’s start with how beautiful the restaurant is and service is top notch. My server “Erika “ was very attentive and answered all my questions. I loved that they have lots of gluten free options. I will definitely be coming back because the food is phenomenal.

Dan Ferry

Rebecca Noyes

Gluten/Dairy allergies; server was well informed of the allergies and didn't give me that eye roll that those of us with food restrictions know.
