Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore After Dark in Knoxville

Kieron Torres

Great gluten free options, including GF, cauliflower, and keto crusts. I could even get the half pizza meal with those crusts. The spicy sauce is definitely spicy, and everyone enjoyed their pizza. Helpful service. I found a Blaze pizza near me, so that's my new local pizza place.

Kelly Williams

The gluten-free lamb burger was delicious. The gluten-free bun was the best I have eaten. Garrett the bartender was knowledgeable about celiac disease and made a delicious old-fashioned!

Benjamin Peterson

I ordered a burger and a Reuben to go. I put in the notes. Ruben is to have gluten-free bun. I double checked before the order was placed. My daughter went in to pick it up and the bun was not gluten-free. She politely asked for that to get changed out, the very large lady with pink hair was extremely rude and cleared at her the whole time. It would’ve been way easier for her to just change out the bun and say have a great evening but instead she went Out of her way to make my daughter feel bad. This is unacceptable. We have been to Aubrey’s many times and I’ve always had amazing service. So this review is only reflection of one employee in particular as a whole. Aubrey’s has always been great.

The Rose

This is my favorite place to eat vegan and gluten free!

Deanna Houser

I absolutely love Mellow Mushroom, it’s one of my go to restaurants. I absolutely love that they accommodate my gluten free allergy. They take all safety precautions into consideration when it comes to gluten free foods. They have several gluten free pizza options and a gluten free brownie! Not to mention their friendly service!

Sarah Snow

We LOVE this taco hub! This is one of the only places my husband (who is very allergic to gluten) can find hard taco shells. Laney was our server this time and was fabulous! Everyone we’ve ever had wait on us here has been wonderful. The tacos are second to none. We LOVE love love this restaurant; it’s our favorite here! If you’re on the fence, go! Support local artists (the place is full of local art!) and delightful tacos!

Jammie Davis

Blaze has great gluten free pizza!!! I love the options and have been going here since day one that they opened. The service is sometimes off but it’s what happens unfortunately when the staff turnover is very quick.

Susanne Forst

I am gluten free and dairy free and ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese, mushrooms, spinach and pepperoni. It was delicious!

Sidney Geldmeyer

Great vibe, and better food! Kitchen staff was knowledgeable about gluten sensitivity and came out to correct our order out of extra caution to avoid a food that had gluten in it!

Money Maker

Great atmosphere. Friendly, smiling faces greeting and seating. Drink order prompt, nice friendly chat with server to start the order. Food was delivered quickly with everything as ordered. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. I will eat here again and bring my family next time. Wish i had room for dessert because it looked tasty in the pic. A server was at a near by table explaining they offered a gluten free dessert. Go & enjoy some great outback food when you are in knoxville.

Samantha Posey

I always have the best time here! Me and my boyfriend are obsessed with the pasta bravo! And being gluten free they have sooooo many options! Basically any pasta can be turned gluten free which is such a plus!

Samuel Mangin

Some of the best food in Knoxville. Gluten free options and very affordable too!

Terry Higgins

We had a great server who took good care of us while we were there. Their gluten free buns for their burgers are very tasty!

Shane Delaney

I wish the gluten free option was cooked away from contamination but for a pizza place it's understandable.. seen Evan Honer. Server was awesome

Gavin McCormack

I came here with my girlfriend on our 1 year anniversary and the service was phenomenal. Our server, Noel, catered the gluten free experience perfectly. She caught everything and was extremely sociable. 10/10

First time visit. My wife has been intrigued for some time, but we’ve never taken the opportunity to dine at Firebirds. Thankfully, we were not disappointed! I’m not a foody food critic so I won’t pretend to be, however, we were both extremely delighted with our meals. We both ordered from the Three-Course Dinner portion of the menu. She had the mixed salad, Grilled Salmon & Shrimp (requested Gluten Free) and Ice cream for her desert. I chose the Caesar Salad (wonderful), Grilled Sirloin (medium), and Seasonal Bread Pudding (comes out hot with vanilla ice cream and a raspberry sauce on the side). She had water and I drank Sweet Tea (very good southern sweet tea). Absolutely nothing to complain about the food, service or facility. We enjoyed everything about our visit! If we were to be extremely “picky”, neither of us felt like the music playing over the speakers fit the atmosphere. It was a bit distracting. But that’s it! Everything else hit the mark. Normally we to not spend this much on a meal in Knoxville, but for special occasions, this will be our pick for sure! Thanks Firebirds for a great meal and first impression!

Valerie Morgan

We frequently go here for lunch. The service is always top notch. I love that they have a gluten free menu and do what they can to make modifications of other dishes to fit allergens. The crab dip is spectacular and the ahi tuna stack has quickly become my go to.

Donna McClure

Finally got to go for a late lunch. I was not disappointed. I received a gluten feee menu at the front. My server was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free options and when I asked a question he wasn’t 100% sure of, he asked the kitchen staff. I had the steak burger on a gluten free bun (which was delicious) with cheddar mashed potatoes and a gluten free brownie with a kahlua chocolate sauce. It was delicious. The staff was great, the atmosphere was laid back and easy and the food was extremely good. A new safe go to place for me!

Greg Morris

The quality of the food and the service has been outstanding each of the 8–10 times that I’ve eaten dined here. They do an amazing job with their gluten-free pizzas, they’re the best that I’ve had anywhere, and their wings are amazing.

Nicole Carlisle

We were on a little birthday excursion when hunger hit hard. We stumbled upon this place by accident and I am SO GLAD we did!! I have a gluten allergy so the fact that they have a separate menu and gf v and vg markers is a huge bonus! The food was fantastic and service was excellent! I got the chicken bacon ranch on a gluten free bun and we split the Brussel sprouts.. fantastic, highly recommend!! My husband got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and loved it! Not so hot that he was uncomfortable but great heat and flavor!

My Girlfriend and I went to the Olive Garden. I wanted to write a little review of the Famous Olive Garden. Olive Garden has been around for years, almost as long as I have know. When I was younger, I never understood the Olive Garden salad but I love the Breadsticks. It took time all these years later, the Breadsticks are still good but the Famous House Salad is absolutely wonderful. I wish that I could go to OG just for the Salad alone. The Homemade Soups are Chicken & Gnocchi, Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone & Zuppa Toscana. The Dipping Sauces are marinara, homemade alfredo or five cheese marinara. There are Gluten Free options and there is a Kids Menu. Also, Olive Garden offers Catering too. Flipside -> The Lasagna Frites are not that good, I was very disappointed. Their restaurant is clean, plenty of parking, Wheelchair accessible as well, and The Staff are friendly & helpful.

I went to this restaurant on the 6/28, a Saturday. I was very careful to explain to the server, Mattie, that I have Celiac Disease and cannot digest rice. She wrote all these details on the order form. When my food came, the fajitas looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. I took a tortilla, filled it up and took a bite. I realized it was not a corn tortilla, which i specifically and clearly requested. Mattie checked and confirmed it was a flour tortilla. They removed the cost of the meal from my bill, so I paid for my granddaughter’s food and our drinks. The manager and Mattie apologized. So, here I am on Monday, 6/30 still in bed and very very sick. One bite of a flour tortilla gave me food poisoning. It is not worth the price of a free meal. I have not had food poisoning in 4 years, also at a restaurant, PF Changs. I request that all staff responsible for serving meals should have some kind of checking system to ensure a customer’s needs are seen to. Those customers with food issues should double and triple check with the server since nobody can be trusted.

Amy Cramer

I am gluten free our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu items. So it made it easier for me to order safely. I also learned that their rice is safe unlike wgat I had read and online. The corn tortillas are hand made daily so they are also safe. I was so excited to be able to enjoy a meal like i had before I had a gluten sensitivity.

Michelle Dené

This was an incredibly disappointing dining experience I was visiting my family from out of town and wanted to treat them to donner. We waited over an hour for our food and when we got it it was all dried out obviously it had been sitting under the heat lamps far too long. Everything was ruined the steak was completely dried out and well done from ordering medium rare the salmon was so dry it was unedible the pork sandwich was more like beef jerky. BUT WORST OF ALL they tried passing off a gluten free hamburger with a regular bun to my daughter who has severe celiac . They said they ran out of gf buns. Then they brought a dried out hamburger with no bun and forgot the cheese in a to go box after everyone was leaving to late for her to eat. TERRIBLE!!

Frank Haviland

Really enjoyable steakhouse here in the Knoxville area. Offers a lot of different entrees, appetizers, unique proteins, and hardy sides. Healthy list of wines, spirits, and unique mixed cocktails. They are able to accommodate allergies, with a knowledgeable staff that can help you navigate the menu. One of our favorite dishes was the Wagyu. They are specifically able to accommodate gluten allergies and cross contamination concerns.

Allison Gentry

Their menu listed items as gluten free, however they informed us as we ordered that the "gluten free street tacos" have corn that is not gluten free. We asked if the corn could be left off, they said they did not like to modify any of their menu items. The corn was not removable. We then ordered chips and dip, asked if they were gluten free and our server said yes and left to put our order in. We looked at the menu again and saw corn listed, so we asked again. They informed us that the chip corn was gluten free even if the taco corn was not. Then after the rest of our table received their food, they then told us the chips and dip was *not* gluten free cause the dip roux has flour in it. So two of the menu items that were listed gluten free, were absolutely not gluten free. Upon hearing that, we decided to play it safe and not eat the fries anymore after they had assured me those were gluten free. Just couldn't trust the level of gluten free anymore. The owner came over and while they were very nice, they explained that some kitchen staff are not as educated much about allergies yet, and that they were in a "transition" stage where some gluten free items still contain gluten and flour. If this is the case, then the menu needs to accurately represent this. The menu should *not* say gluten free until the transition period is over and the foods do not have gluten. I understand cross contamination possibilities, and I understand shared kitchens can cause contamination. However food containing gluten in the regular recipe should not be labeled gluten free at all.

Russell Buckner

It's a chain. Kinda reminds me of start Ruby Tuesday used to be when it was decent. It's what Ruby wishes it was I guess. Food is decent and consistent between visits but it's nothing too exciting. It's good, don't get me wrong but I haven't found anything yet that makes me want to put it in my go to list. Service has been good. One thing they do really well is provide gluten free, dairy free for friends of ours. It's worth a look overall.

Lindsay Jackson

Rosati's pizza is lovely! Their sauce is tasty and not too sweet, their ingredients are quality. My family prefers the thin crust and I love their gluten free. We love it despite its cost!

Latisha Steger

Gluten free bun available

If you’re looking for the best tacos in downtown Knoxville, you have to come here. Compared to Chivo and soccer taco, this is the best. We really love the fish tacos, dip trio and the Cuban. Portion sizes are really good. Our vegetarian friends love the black bean burger. I even have gluten-free friends that can enjoy a meal here. Their margaritas are the best downtown. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, which matches their neon sign, paying homage to the name. It’s always lively, and there are some days you can catch live music. Prices are fair and good for what you’re getting. Portion size is filling. Since they’ve come under new ownership a few years ago, it has greatly improved. Previously, I would not go here. But now it’s become one of my favorites. I have even brought out of town clients here for dinner who have enjoyed it. It is a laid-back atmosphere. The service has always been excellent, and the staff has always been attentive. You can tell that people enjoy it there. I do recommend getting a reservation here if you are looking for outdoor seating or having a large party 6+, especially during their busy time at dinner. The patio feels quickly in the warmer months, so if you want that space get a reservation. Their back door leads to Marble Alley’s upstairs bar, which is a great place to go after you’ve had your fill for games, or to enjoy the bowling alley.

Scott Reynolds

Great food, friendly staff. The burgers and fries so always outstanding here. They also have bun-free options for all their burgers, so people with gluten allergies can eat here without worry. This menu option is also Whole 30 approved, for anyone on that diet. Great food, good prices, fast service, health-conscious options. Will eat here again!

Sheila Perry

Fantastic dining here! We had a fabulous waitress named Kate, who was very knowledgeable of the menu and what was gluten free (I am celiac). We had the cocktail flight (chose the house margarita, house mojito and house punch), hummus, spicy feta, salmon, short rib, Greek salad, chicken and the cheesecake dessert. FAB🙌🏼 Highly recommend this place. Ambiance and music is wonderful.

The food wasn’t very good, but the jazz on Monday night was nice. Get here maybe just 5-10 mins early for the jazz. The band doesn’t arrive until right before they start. The kale artichoke dip was tasty, and the accommodated my gluten allergy by cutting up some veggies for it. The salmon and lentils weren’t great. The desserts were terrible — skip them.

Corinne Barranco

Literally the best service I’ve ever had in my life. Gordon went above and beyond to fix my Uber eats order which was not by any means the restaurants fault, but he hooked me up with everything gluten free and was sweeter than I could have ever asked for. Uber eats owes them a huge one. Thank you Gordon and team at Nama!!

Dawn Horney

Ordered, waited 15 min max and took our pizza home hot and delicious! Gluten free pizza crust is terrific.

Here me out; I NEVER write reviews using half eaten/reheated/paper-plate-photographed food... but this, THIS pizza deserves a heartfelt no-matter-the-physical-documentation-available review. (I do apologize for not photographing sooner in the consuming process, but to be honest, I didn't have unrealistically high expectations for this particular pizza joint. The existing reviews were "so-so," and the menu didn't depict anything truly special. Clearly, I was misled.) We ordered this pizza today purely out of convenience, not realizing it was going to be some of the best local-to-Tennessee-pizza we'd ever eat. I've been gluten-free (by choice, not celiac) for 4 years now, and typically, pizza is an extremely underwhelming experience for me, so I didn't expect much else this time. Surprisingly, not only did their cauliflower crust have an actual appealing flavor (🙌) it was perfectly stacked with FLAVORFUL toppings and mounded with the perfect amount of cheese (for cheese lovers, like ME) to make it an acceptable "REAL" pizza! (I think it was called "The Hoss"?. *Pepperoni, Italian sausage (which had an amazing flavor and I highly recommend!!), and extra cheese. Then I added onions... because'duh'.) It was a lovely UNEXPECTED surprise, and I wish we would have taken a chance on them much sooner than we did. 🍕

We’ve only gotten food from Snappy a couple of times, but they have excellent customer service and their pizza is amazing! Their gluten free crust is delicious. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Nice people, great staff, cool company to work for. Nice quality products put out for the customers. Everything is fresh as fresh is from the kitchen. If your Goin Keto(?) or stayin Gluten free(?) The Papa Bowls the way to go.

Amanda Bouchelle

Love the lettuce wrap burgers! So glad they offer this here for people who can not have gluten!!

Best gluten free pizza crust and service. I like my pizza more on the doughy side verses a typical GF thin crust. Everyone working were so nice and helpful. I will be going back!

Delicious! I ordered the lettuce wraps with agave hummus sauce with cabbage as the side. I appreciated the gluten free options and the freshness. I will definitely be coming back.
