Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Discover in Downtown Nashville

Jack Irwin

Very good dinner at Sixty Vines Monday night. The menu clearly identifies a large variety of gluten free options and the staff did well in asking about dietary restrictions. Had one of the best filets I’ve had in a while, along with a few vegetables on the side. Nice (but pricey) wine selection too. If you’re eating on broadway you’re likely going to have to spend a bit, but this is a great spot to treat yourself!

Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

The experience was so great we went twice in one day! The head chef came out and we talked over my multiple allergies. Then came up with a dish that was safe for me. The chef made sure the waitstaff and kitchen staff knew how to ring in the order and make it safely.

My boyfriend and I are both celiac. We went back three times on our week long trip to have the gluten free pizza and Cloud 9 wings. Nef is the best bartender and even showed us the ingredient list for the pizza dough incase it interfered with another allergy of mine

Roark Perry

We had a great meal. I had the machos (nachos plus beans and coleslaw). My wife had the pulled pork tray with potato salad and beans. My wife's was gluten free and she did not get sick from cross contamination. Great place for those with celiac or gluten allergies.

Had the most amazing lunch at the Omi Hotel! They had a dedicated fryer for gluten free buffalo wings, tots and fries and gluten free buns for the burgers as well!!

Had a very good breakfast here. Service was great and the waitress didn’t hesitate when I asked for gluten free options and recommendations. The gluten free pancake was fantastic and had a nice rise/fluffiness to it. I also had eggs with sausage, hash browns, and a side order of some special bacon. All in all a fantastic meal. A little pricey but the price suited the quality of service and food.

Made reservations.it was not too busy.service was wonderful.celiac friendly . We had Frenched chicken breast very strong on the ancho glazed but chicken cooked perfectly. Grilled filet mignonette was overcooked but more because I said medium instead of medium rare.

Had the chance to go last Thursday while in town for a wedding and chose to sit at the Chef’s Counter either my girlfriend. Outstanding experience and choice, great service and server was very good about accommodating my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. Even more impressive was the food, some truly just well done dishes. One of the Chef’s, JD, that we met was awesome and helped give recommendations on fan favorites from their new menu. Check out that pork ribeye and s’mores dessert especially, out of this world. Would travel back to Nashville just to have dinner here again!

The Chipa sándwich is the best I wver had, 100% GF. They also offer other GF options

Daniel Batten

Incredible food. Helpful waitstaff. Pleasant, fun atmosphere. My girlfriend is gluten free and tries to limit dairy. It was easy to have a great GF meal, and their various sheep and goat milk/cheese dishes made it super easy to go low lactose, too. She’s very sensitive and says this is the best dinner she’s had in years. The portions were appropriate for the richness of the food, and we tried almost everything on the GF menu and both left satisfied (and pleasantly surprised by the bill). The pastel de chocolate was a delightful dessert, too.

Liz Abrams

Becky was our waitress and she was fantastic. Lots of gluten-free options and they were very careful about making sure we were safe to eat. Wonderful place to eat.

Bryan

On the website they said that had gluten free options and then when we went there and asked about my friends gluten allergy they said everything is cross contaminated. GF people go at own risk. Idk why is says they accommodate on the website.

Tania Caceres

Amazing modern Mediterranean cuisine. Lots of gluten free options. Every dish was delicious and beautiful. Great vibe and service.

An invite from our friend @thetipjarnash took us to @sundanewasian for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. Its name is a nod to the Southeast Asian continental shelf underlying the region inspiring the myriad of flavors highlighted by the array of cuisine from founder @billydec and executive chef @mike_sunda From Dim Sum to sushi rolls, main courses and “new Asian creations,” there is truly something on the menu for everyone. As always, we’ve posted a guide to our “reel” menu below in case you want to say, “I want what they had” (and we’re pretty sure you will.) 🍹: Grass Tiger & Strawberry Fields 🍣: Signature Crispy Rice {Wagyu & Spicy Tuna} 🥗: Crispy Brussels Sprouts 🍱: Sweet Potato Caterpillar & Island Maki 🐟: Tom Yum Sea Bass 🥮: Bibingka* Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting seating in his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, start to finish. *Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing!

Sophie Lennon

Both my boyfriend and I are celiac. We were lucky enough to have Becca as our waitress and she’s also celiac! I got the wagyu sliders modified to not have a bun, but they do have gluten free burger buns for the full size burgers! My boyfriend got the steak salad. Both dishes were delicious. Definitely ask for Becca if you’re celiac and come to eat!

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

Shannon Farthing

Emmy Squared was amazing! We chose this restaurant bc of the gluten free crust option! This was the best pizza, you would never know it was gluten free. Hands down a win!

A great place to grab brunch! The server was really helpful and attentive in pointing out the gluten free options and figuring out what was safe for a celiac in my group to eat. The prices are a little high, but not at all exaggerated.

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

Jessica was the best server! We waited at the bar for a few minutes while our table was getting cleaned. Dinner was amazing, service was amazing, and we really enjoyed our dessert. Our server, Jessica, was sensitive to my husband’s gluten allergy. She let us know all the menu options that were available to him and all the ones that could be available to him with adjustments. We LOVED The Magi live music group!! We will definitely be back!

Liv Oaxaca

Great for gluten free! Jesse was very helpful.

We waited in line about 45 minutes. It was our second visit. It was raining so we debated going somewhere else but it was worth the wait and we were covered. The staff handled everyone and everything seamlessly. Our waitress was great. I ordered GF pancakes, eggs over well and crispy bacon. Very good. I wasn’t sure how the pancakes were going to turn out but when you’re picky (well, gluten sensitive), you can’t complain! At least I got to eat a pancake!! I thought they were good. The others said their pancakes were amazing. Great maple syrup. The eggs and bacon were cooked as ordered and delicious. We will return!

This place was kind of a cluster. The good: My wife got the aztec bowl & that was pretty good. And the baked fries that came with my burger were really good. The bad: They served up a Cesar salad to our friend without any dressing, and had a hard time finding the dressing when asked for some. The Shitake Teriyaki burger was just a smear of mushroom, cabbage, and sauce on a bun and looked nothing like the picture on the menu. The ugly: They tried to convince me that a whole wheat bun was gluten free. It took a few minutes, but they eventually checked the packaging from the buns and re-made the burger on a small GF bagle. They didn't actually have any GF buns despite it being on the menu, and it sounded like their cook didn't know what GF meant. This could result in someone with ceilac getting really sick from their food. I expect better from a restaurant like this.

Cute place. Some gluten free options

Debra Vasquez

Thanks for the coupon! My cobb salad was a bit pricey. I'm glad you have a gluten-free menu.

Jill Swisher

I appreciate that they had plenty of gluten free options!

Lauren Klipp

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Emily Borghard

It was a great place and they were so clear with the gluten free!!

Bethaney Moore

everything was awesome! our server Emma was so kind and accommodating, especially with being gluten free! great cocktails, great food, great service. get the street corn

There isn’t much to the menu but the burger was one of the best tasting burgers I’ve ever had! It was seriously so delicious. My celiac daughter had a burger with the gluten free bun and loved it as well. The fries weren’t anything to write home about and I didn’t eat most of them. The drinks (alcoholic) are really expensive, so probably not somewhere you’d want to do a lot of drinking if you have other options.

Rami Saleh

Hawaiian pizza has a very distinctive and wonderful flavour, characterised by softness and a gluten-free crust. In addition to the quiet place and wonderful service, you enjoy eating pizza in this warm atmosphere.

Love the myriad of flavors in the Poke bowl. Party in your mouth! Friendly staff. Fun place. Especially good for gluten free peeps.

Kathleen Klukas

Authentic NY pizzeria atmosphere, excellent customer service! I got the gluten free cheese pizza and Greek salad. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner, take out or dine in!

The Barista is the best, she is friendly but also makes wonderful drinks!! Very nice place for just a morning drink or breakfast… and bonus, gluten toast!

I was there with some friends this Saturday. Everyone had a different sandwich to be able to try different things from the menu. The Brie and fig was original and the brisket sandwich was really as well but for me the best was the pimento cheese with Mac n cheese sandwich, it’s definitely my favorite and the pimento cheese and the Mac combo match really well it’s a 10/10 for this melt. Overall great experience, the service was quick and their gluten free options allowed my friend who has celiac to eat with us. I also wan to mention that they have vegan and vegetarian options, a very complete menu.

I ordered the GF pizza that came up as “Gluten Free Pizza Spot” on DoorDash. I hoped if they’re advertising GF it would be good. Instead it was rubbery and a little slimy.
