Top 7 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in 12 South, Nashville

Bailey Connell

We recently moved to Nashville and are still finding the local haunts - we loved this spot! The ordering system is efficient, the food is well priced and fantastic. Service was also wonderful, our waiter was so friendly! Great place if you have a gluten allergy as well. Check out the pork belly and sesame ribeye tacos!! 🌮

The food here is absolutely delicious! Everything is fresh and has such depth of flavor. They’re also very knowledgeable about gluten free foods and have many options for those who can’t eat gluten. We’ll be back soon!

We ended up at Urban Grub after finding out the wait at a nearby breakfast spot was 2.5 hours for 2 people- yikes! Whisper was our server and she was amazing! So personable and sweet. She was also able to help my celiac friend navigate the menu and even offered options for substitutions. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits which was FANTASTIC. I ordered the Oscar Bennie which was OK. The crab comes cold and on the side, which was odd, but the crab was tasty nonetheless. The hollandaise was flavorless, although it was advertised as being “citrus”. I got it with a side of Gouda grits, which were so yummy. Overall, pretty happy with our experience! And kudos to our server, Whisper!

The food and the service at Ladybird is unmatched! I’ve been coming here for three years and can always count on them to give me a consistent 10/10 experience. Staff is amazing and the food is incredible. Also, I’m always blown away by how great their coffee is. In the past three years I’ve been vegan, and then gluten/dairy free, and they have always had the best options for that as well!

super cool spot! unassumingly chill considered its on 12S but they have excellent service, reasonable prices, and great food! get a bloody mary, bleu potato wedges, and blackened tilapia tacos!! also keep an eye out for the daily drink specials like 2 for 1 beers on tuesday, $5 mules on wednesday, and $5 mimosas / $7 bloodys on sunday! worth noting that they have an extensive vegan / gluten free menu as well

This is my favorite restaurant in Nashville! I found it some days ago and the food is so tasty, fresh and I felt great afterwards. I was there with my husband and another couple for dinner and just had their lunch today. Our friends were gluten intolerant and I am vegan, and they had amazing dishes for all of us! The cocktails were the best too, especially the lavender gin drink! It’s not often a new restaurant hits all the marks like Epice. Top location on 12 South, cozy and beautiful environment for both lunchtime and dinner. You must try their crispy cauliflower side! 😍 Epice is great for any occasion; wether it’s a celebration or just a casual lunch - you'll have a great experience. Thank you!
