Top 22 Gluten-Free Spots Open Late to Explore in Grand Rapids

One of my favorite restaurants. I love that they change up the menu regularly. And as a celiac, they are somewhere I feel super safe eating (and can actually have fries since they have dedicated fryers!). Their GF carrot cake is amazing and it's rare I order a dish that I don't love. Also very much love the rooftop dining in the summer.

Had the best tapas paired with the best service from Derick, our waiter. Loved that they had a gluten free baguette with pesto, and all of our food was delicious.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the size of the check afterward. We ordered the Chef's feast thinking we would save money, but if you have to eat gluten-free like I do, you have to order the premium appetizer and premium entree, for which you are charged extra. Our bill was $94 for 3 people and we ordered the Chef's feast for 2. We will not do that again! The food was excellent and the service was very good. I just didn't know it was going to be so expensive.

First visit here was several years ago on an overnight stay for a concert. Today I had to go back because that time was so good. Today I went and sat at the bar for brunch the staff (all 4 I encountered) were friendly and helpful answering questions and making suggestions that made my visit amazing. I went for this avocado toast gluten free with added egg and coffee, followed up with a citrus drink they mixed for me (not cocktail) that was the perfect refresher after the delicious meal. 10/10 recommend going here when in Grand Rapids, it is a super adorable yet smaller space so try to go outside the typical meal times or be patient and willing to wait. It’s worth it in my opinion.

Amazing service and good was fantastic! Many gluten free options and server was very helpful!

Megan Foster

The cocktails were yummy and very reasonably priced ( most around 10$ with more than decent liquor). Our server was great and very attentive. I had the hoppin jane dish. As a gluten free, vegan I thought it was very delicious. Be sure you ask for extra green goddess dressing as it really made the dish. So flavorful! I wish I lived closer, this would become a regular for me! We would love a Noco in the Ann Arbor area!

Good pub with a nice burger and fries. Service was a bit lacking, though nice. - Big Easy: Half pound standard burger ordered medium and got it medium. The burger was juicy and cooked the way I like it. The rest of the burger was fairly plain and not much else to write home about. The cheese was not melted much. I saw it had mustard and no ketchup, so I freaked and asked them for ketchup instead of mustard which they did. I thought the burger was a little overpriced compared to the many of the other places I have visited in the area. If it were that good, I wouldn’t have a problem paying the price, but it was too plain to charge $16 and only get chips. - Fries: I upgraded to the fries. They were again fairly plain, but done right. They are medium sized steak fries with a good fluffy center and medium softer outer skin. They stayed warm until the end and were cooked just right. - Crispy Brussels Sprouts: WOAH! Powerful taste. There are several well balanced flavors that were nonetheless screaming for attention on this dish. I do like brussel sprouts and these were great, but a bit too much. That said, the parmesan was added as large shavings rather than grated which gave a great texture. The bacon is always a nice touch. The sherry gastrique was very sweet and powerful. There was a sour flavor to it as well that hits you at first, but settles down as you become acquainted with the initial shock. I liked it and it is worth trying. You’ll have to be the judge, though. It is a unique flavor. Not on the menu, but they have gluten free buns. Also, their Barnyard Burger was listed apart from the other burgers and I missed it. Their menu needs a bit of organization. They also have Shepherd’s Pie. Maybe I’ll come back and try that some time. They also list specials on their website. They are mostly drinks, though. I do see occasional specials for food listed on their Facebook page. - Service: We were greeted at the door immediately and seated at a booth at our request. However, that is where it seemed to go downhill. We looked over our menu and were ready to order and waited a good while (it was NOT that busy). Finally, I ended up sticking my head into the isle and being served by someone who wouldn’t have served us otherwise. Waters were finally brought (though never refilled) and our orders were taken. When served, it did come in a timely fashion, though. Paying also took a while. We had the credit card on the table for a good 5 minutes or more waiting to pay. BEWARE: The tip by default is 25% when paying by credit card. I didn’t notice until it was too late, especially since we were trying to get out as soon as possible since it was taking too long. I would NOT have tipped that much for our experience. Lesson learned. - Atmosphere: The booths have hard wooden backs, but cushioned seats (a bit worn, but not bad at all). The wood is warn down I think on purpose. It gives it that old-world feel they boast of. I felt like we were in Ireland or Scotland. There is a decent amount of old-world decor and the main of the inside is dark wood. It was overall comfortable in spite of the wooden backs. The music playing in the background was almost imperceptible. I could not hear it unless I really listened for it. Talking to my wife was not an issue and I appreciated that. The bathrooms were a tad small, but were okay. My wife mentioned the women’s room was a bit unclean, but I didn’t think the men’s room was bad. To call this place a “gastropub” (according to their Google Maps description) I think is a bit of a stretch. I think it is more of a pub with a slightly greater emphasis on the food than a pub. Maybe somewhere in the middle. I am guessing they have been around for almost 14 years (November 5, 2010 according to their Facebook page). Visited on a Friday night 7-8 PM. It was not terribly busy for a Friday and there were plenty of staff on hand from what I saw. Even a couple of the cooks came out for a few minutes.

I enjoyed everything about this place. The options for tacos was beyond expectation. The host was very hospitable. I love the menu set up, you fill out your order at your table. Everything is marked if it is gluten or dairy free. Service was great. Price was very reasonable. Food was excellent. My peach margaritas was just the way I like it...tart 😊 They also have a pet friendly deck you can enjoy with your furry friend.

One of the few places in town that caters to Celiacs like myself, with a very good gluten-free pizza.

Alice Dreger

Great food and drink and VERY careful with food issues including gluten. YUM!

Isabella Perez (Bella)

We really enjoyed this spot. The ambiance and service were great. Love how you can get a waffle any time of the day, especially a gluten free waffle! My favorite out of the love me tender, ol’ blue eyes, and hashtag (all were ordered gf) was the love me tender. If you are a peanut butter lover like me you have to get this one!

Food was wonderful and staff was very knowledgeable about gluten/cross contact.

David Gentry

An incredible steaks with phenominal service. I sat at the bar and if you get Adam your service level will exceed any expectation. The dry aged NY Stripe Oscar Style paired with a Woodford Reserve Old Fashion created a party on my palate. The gluten-free Cheesy Brazilian pop-over bread is a must that would have made my Gkuten-Free friends run around punching the homless.

Yvonne Alexander

Worst ramen I’ve had- very bland and did not taste authentic. A lot of authentic ramen shops offer soba noodles, which are a great gluten free option, but the noodles here did not compare, and dissolved in the broth immediately, which was very unappetizing.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary tonight with a special dinner at Butcher's Union with our older children. Great service. Loved how different the patio room was with the huge skylight, rustic painted brick walls and tons of hanging vines and ferns. I appreciated that the Chefs were able to make my dinner free from gluten. Everyone loved what we ate. Dark and Stormy Mule was perfect. Steaks were tender and flavorful. Desert was good, too.

Donkey is one of my favorites restaurants to go to! Not only do they have the best chips and guacamole and margaritas in Grand Rapids, they are somewhere where as a celiac I feel safe to eat (super informed plus dedicated GF fryers so I can actually have the chips :). Great tequila selection and tacos. The staff is also amazing and always welcoming. Having such a large outdoor seating area makes it an a great place for summer dining.

Best gluten-free crust in town, closest to hand tossed I've found. Unfortunately, their doordash menu doesn't allow for custom gluten-free pizza's and the restaurant itself doesn't deliver to their full food app coverage. This limits you to only the specialty pizza's for delivery. They have a wide variety, but no pepperoni lovers. You cannot get a gluten-free cheese pizza delivered by food app.

Stopped in after a Lego event downtown. The only tables they had were Hightower, which were not my favorite. I enjoyed splitting a gluten-free pizza and a nice salad with my wife. Both were very good. The salad may have been even better. The kids only had a little food to take home. The best moment there was when there was a dad and a toddler waiting for the bathroom. After waiting, they discover there is no changing table in the men's. The speak to the servers and the servers post guard outside the women's for him. As a father and human, I really appreciated that. Enjoyed this place and would go again.

Food is always good, I'm enjoying the new gluten free items, that they are able to substitute for noodles in their delicious dishes! There is some cross contamination, I believe. But gluten free noodles are huge! Still no bread sticks sadly... But maybe one day!

My go to for sushi. Good food and service is always good. The Gluten free items on the menu are clearly marked, which is a bonus.

Good burger. Gluten-free pizza is AWESOME. Everyone loves their pizza. It is odd that no one has reviewed their burger at this location yet, but here goes. - Classic Burger - $13: Half pound patty, ordered medium and was served medium to medium well. It was medium quality meat. I liked the shredded lettuce. It was a tad on the sloppy side with the mayo and ketchup I ordered, but was tasty. The bun was a tad tough on the exterior, but plenty soft otherwise. Served in a wire basket on wax/paraffin paper, which is unique. Overall, I have no complaints at all. The price was actually spot on compared to what is out there, the quality you get, and the size of the patty. Actually, if you factor in the fries, it is great value. - Fries - (comes with the burger): Excellent battered fries. A tad thicker, served hot, and goes down easy. Cooked just right, soft inside, crispy outside, and delicious. - 10” Gluten Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza - $17+toppings: Expensive, but the best I know. I couldn’t even tell it was gluten-free or cauliflower! It is my daughter’s favorite, so I decided to check it out with her. It is a thinner crust, but still soft. It is greasy. Everything about it is true to the Vitale’s mode of operation. Tons of toppings, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious! With Pepperoni and bacon, it cost $19. For a 10” that fits on a dinner plate rather than a pizza pan, it is not much. My daughter will take leftovers home and have two meals to eat, though. Vitale’s knows pizza. That’s for sure!! - Service: Happy, pleasant, helpful, and punctual. We were taken care of very well. Nothing was left undone for more than a minute. - Atmosphere: Casual and a bit of an American bar and grill feel. Sports is a huge emphasis, but they have a wing with a bit more classy feel to it that they open during higher volume times. It was generally clean and well kept. Our table was quote wobbly, though (very back corner on the northwest). - Conclusion: I’d recommend their burger and HIGHLY recommend their pizza. If you are gluten-free and want a special treat, this is THE place in Grand Rapids for sure! Visited on a Tuesday at 5pm.

A real unique place to dine. Great food! Including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian options! Service was outstanding as well.

Audrey Baker

The gluten free options were extremely limited and uninteresting. Our server was polite but not well informed about which things could be made gluten free. Somehow roe sashimi could not be made gluten free. I've been to dozens of sushi restaurants, and I'd say my roll was on par with Meijer deli. Except it was room temperature. My husband's food was not gluten free, and he enjoyed his meal more. We will definitely not return.

Got the gluten free goat cheese pizza with the staff recommendation of the calabrian honey. It is now my favorite combo. Staff was super nice and didn't have to wait long at all. Going to make this place a tradition everytime I come to the city.

Corey Soyka

Had a decent amount of gluten free dishes that were celiac safe.

Mary Fridsma

The view and setting at Blue Water Grill are stunning and stylish, and they always have creative options for a gluten free entree. We went on a busy Friday evening, excited to try out a new entree that was listed as GF on the website. Sadly when we placed our order I found that the item was not actually GF. The server was extremely apologetic that the website was incorrect and suggested some other delicious sounding options. After placing my order, the head chef offered to make a GF version of the item I originally wanted and it was so delicious I had tears in my eyes! The food was outstanding, and their service was above and beyond!!
