Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Long Beach

Nicole Johnson

Great food! Easily accommodates a gluten allergy.

From food, to service (Andrew), to management (Ricardo), they run this place like it is some fancy restaurant like Spago and that is beyond impressive. My mom and I went here on a lark and it made our day! To have an experience where you want for nothing, your drinks are always refilled promptly, and the food tastes amazing, you can't be disappointed. Then, when your server (Andrew) hears you off-handedly mention that you can't eat gluten and he realizes you ordered something with gluten in it, he stops what he is doing and has it remade so you can eat, you're going to feel like a VIP. TLDR - When you come here, ask for Andrew. He was BEYOND conscientious, kind, went above and beyond, and could willingly accommodate some dietary restrictions. If I had a restaurant I would actually woo him away from here. Good service is rare these days, and they have it in spades here!

We ate here safely with Gluten Allergies. GF buns are better than usual and the fries are great.

Danielle Badrya

Urban Plates in Long Beach is a great spot with plenty of tasty gluten-free options. Fresh, organic, and fast. Shoutout to Amy, she was an amazing server!

Julie Gray

Great gluten-free crepes and the orange juice was wonderful

Dawn Bern

This place is so amazingly good! I have to avoid wheat, so I ordered the chile relleno which is gluten free, their ranchero sauce is made in house, incredible! The pintos, oh so good, the service, the decor, and there are so many gluten-free dessert options, the lemon cheesecake Takes the Cake :-) thank you!

It was my turn to pick where my girlfriend and I went for date night and because she can’t have gluten I searched gluten free and saw this place. I was so impressed with how they presented themselves online I took her here. We stayed downstairs and the vibe there was just wonderful and perfect. Our servers name was Randy who was by far the best server I have ever had in my life. We was super nice, really attentive and excellent all around. Now let’s talk about this food, my girlfriend and I ordered the wagyu beef meatballs For the appetizer and the entrées were the filet mignon and the steak fries. The food was cooked to absolute perfection. I we are eating we both were already talking about what we were going to have the next time we come here. Definitely the best of the best eating experience of my entire existence.

Jennifer Miller

This is a lovely restaurant right by the marina with indoor/outdoor seating. The food is delicious! They offer many gluten free and vegan options.

Shawn Sardinha

Usually, this place is packed. And for good reason. Since my wife and I can't eat gluten or dairy and I get off work late sometimes, this place is our go-to. Order when I leave work, pick up, and go. Staff is quick, kind, and sure to check the order belongs to you. Love that, love them.

CYNTHIA CÁRDENAS

Definitely the best place to eat in Long Beach. Unmatched service, many food options, including gluten-free, delicious, with little waiting time and ideal to attend with family and friends.

Kathy S

Eat here weekly. Celiac-friendly for some dishes. Great food.

Lauren Molyneaux

I have celiac and the menu is somewhat labeled with gluten free options, however the server was unsure about if their chips were fried in a shared fryer. I asked him to check with the kitchen and he didn’t - kept saying “should be fine to eat”. Regardless the meal I got was delicious.

Sinh Luong

Great little stop for brunch. They have great options and gluten free options, but it's hard to resist the pancakes and french toast. Service is fast and friendly, and the portions are good.

Susanna Walker Clark

Lots of variety, not just pizza. Gluten free pizza options , as well. Great service.. thanks, Angel.

Barret Kendrick

My family is in town every few months. This became a favorite place for breakfast. They have gluten free options, fresh fruit, and plenty of other items to bring us back.

Rayan Ghanbari-Martinez

Went to order takeout and we had questions about their gluten free content which Mary was super helpful with. Their orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and Singapore noodles were amazing. Highly recommend

Chantal Regan

Great place. Service was amazing and friendly. They have a gluten free menu and waiter was very knowledgeable and super kind. Highly recommended

Lydia A

Very friendly, but the gluten free menu isn't good

Maddiy Cook

celiac, didn't have an issue and the staff was knowledgeable, the tacos have to be made as lettuce wraps though

Erika Toepfer

So happy we stumbled upon this place! Visiting from out of state and reviews raved the gluten free pancakes and waffles so I had to check it out! If you’re celiac it’s a must! Servers were personable & friendly! Met the owners and expressed they take the food allergies seriously which is every celiac’s dream! Pancakes were absolute fire - great flavor & NOT DRY! A definite must check out!

I really loved this place. My girlfriend and I went to this place for dinner I got a calzone and she had a gluten free crust pizza. It was Absolutely amazing the calzone reminded me of home. Would highly recommend to friends and family! Keep up the great work!!!!

Janné Michel

I have a gluten allergy, and it can get challenging to find a pizza crust that isn't weird and soggy. LW Pizza did not disappoint. I ordered a cheese pizza w gluten-free crust, it was amazing, and they'll deliver to you at the bar across the way. The cheesecake is basic, but if you need a slice in a pinch, there ya go. Yaaay us!!!

Sara Wicht

Attended a brushstrokes and beverages event here. The location and setting are lovely. I like the conglomeration of seating options throughout. The menu felt a bit limited for any dietary restrictions. We needed vegan and gluten-free. Our server did accommodate us with gluten-free crackers on the cheese plate we ordered.

Marjan M

If you have food allergies stay away from this place. We ended up in ER even though we emphasize our kid is having anaphylaxis allergies to gluten and egg and they assured their pizza doesn't have any.

Absolutely delicious! This exceeded our expectations, not that they were low, lol. Service was impeccable and professional, prompt and gracious. Every meal at the table was perfect! Lamb chops were better than most you pay $$$$ for! Baklava was SO perfect! Easy to gluten free or dairy free here.

Sven and Janine Hurty

Delicious food! What I appreciated most is that they were diligent in addressing a gluten allergy in my family. In addition to having allergies checkable on the ordering website, they also called me to ensure I knew that some of the items we ordered were not gluten free. It made us feel very very safe in ordering with a good allergy!

Nathan Sheth

Great little restaurant. Laid back style, polished service, and great food. Appreciate that the gluten free pizza dough is higher quality than most restaurants.

Jacque Smith

Called to find out about gluten free options and the server was more then happy to answer all questions I had and accommodate our needs to the best of their ability. One member in our party is vegetarian and we were pleasantly surprised at the variety of options for them as wel. Despite all our different dietary needs, we all had fantastic food, great service and the mellow vibe of the restaurant made for a great breakfast. Thank you to the staff and cooks.

Gail Watanabe

An out of the way spot that my friend has been going to for years❣Glad we were finally able to try it! The owner is very accommodating on food limitations and l have plenty. Every one in my group of 4 loved their dish and were they were overwhelmed with the dessert! Four beautiful fruit filled crepes drizzled with chocolate sauce! It was a treat for me to eat a gluten free crepe filled with Lox and spinach with a delicious pesto sauce, heaven 😋 l will take pictures the next time l go which I hope will be soon🎉

Christine Rock

Excellent poke and awesome gluten free options. I have Celiac's and they were very understanding and helpful in identifying the food that would not make me sick. Highly suggested!

Soraya De Farias Machado

One of the very few places where you can eat a gluten-free burger and it's very tasty.

Raychel Schultz

This place has amazing food and staff is very knowledgeable. If you want to know what's Gluten-Free. I suggest for you to ask for the Gluten-Free menu.

Claire Jeffers

Manaow is delicious! They are pretty knowledgeable on gluten allergies/celiac and will callout if something has gluten. They have a gluten free menu. My fav is the chicken green bean.

Anne-Sophie Bousset

Such a gem! The staff is so nice and makes you feel like part of the family, they give great insider reccos for the food and are just the right level of attentionate checking in to make sure you're good. Plus, they have yummy gluten free options 🥰 def put that blended melted butter/syrup on your buckwheat pancakes!

Meera T

I had the most amazing gluten free ahimsa burger at higher taste!!! Would definitely recommend to anyone! I'm so excited to try their other items, also the cookies are A+

Gary Standke

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Was to be 30 min wait to be seated but no wait to sit in the bar area which worked out great. Gluten free menu showed most of th emeats are gluten free as are most of the sides. I had a duel rib combo with fries. All tasted fantastic.

Shannon Penrod (AutismLive)

My son and I are gluten and dairy free. Jonathan made our food and did it with such care and so much enthusiasm! We super appreciated his awesome attitude and professionalism! Thanks Jonathan for making us feel welcome and cared for! You were awesome!

kathy magana-gomez

I love the steak and eggs breakfast. It’s gluten free, filling, and delicious. On this particular morning my steak was cold and a bit tough. I could have sent it back and I’m certain it would have been rectified but I was too hungry and didn’t want to wait. Nonetheless I still enjoyed my meal. The star of the show was the vegan Trea Leches Pancakes. I wanted a sweet treat after my meal so the waitress suggested I order it as a side (1 pancake ). It was so delicious!!! It is a must order!

Jenny LeCroy

We had the best server Ben F. I have celiacs and he went above and beyond making sure everything was safe. He also suggested a dish I would have never thought to order and it was divine I want the Romasco sauce by the gallon.

Vone Buckels

Gluten free pizza. Amanda is awesome!

Shannon Writer

I have been coming to this place for quite sometime. As someone with Celiac I was excited to see the gluten free options, especially the fries! After eating there multiple times and asking about the fries being in a separate frier we were told they were. It wasn’t until the last time that our server informed me that they cannot guarantee the fries weren’t fried with the pita, even though they have 2 friers! She did check and was told that on that day they hadn’t fried pitas in the same frier. Sadly we went again hoping for the same outcome, but that was not the case. Evidently both friers had fried the pitas. Our server actually tried to charge us $10 for some cucumbers to have with our hummus, despite not getting the pita. It makes me super sad that we cannot go there safely and I won’t be able to bring friends and family there anymore. *Edited to update. I so wanted to give them other chances after my last review, based on the owner’s response. However, just tonight our server informed us that my regular dish is NOT dairy free! The manager doesn’t even know, how can they expect their servers to be properly trained? He gaslit me by asking if I had a reaction before! It’s none of his business! Every reaction can vary and before they someone, PLEASE train your staff m!!!

Flew in from out of state and staying at the Hilton down the street. Wanted to get a local feel and good food. This place hit all the buttons. Highly recommend. Gluten free options as well!

Micah Becker

There's a lot of dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, options.

Stoney Dudebro

When you have a fast food craving as a vegan it’s hard to find good options and I was really impressed with this place. Everything was amazing. The “Bacon Cheeseburger”, the sweet potato fries, the organic lemon lime soda…. and the gluten free peanut butter pie was AMAZING!!! The whole menu is vegan!!

Sendi “SoCal Realtor” Mora

Visited for the first time on Saturday afternoon. The service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and it came out fast. The variety of seasonings they offer for your pizza is fantastic. (No basic red pepper flakes here!) I definitely recommend this place. We ordered 1 Gluten Free Pizza, 1 Regular Pizza, Ceasar Salad, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was tasty.

Kristen Marie

Have had great meals here in the past, but super bummed about how simple, boring, and dry the burger is now on the new menu! Granted I always order it gluten and dairy free, but the older burger had sauces and fixings which still made it mouthwatering without the cheese. Now, not so much. Not sure how common this complaint is given the dietary modifications, but it would be amazing to get a slightly more exciting and tasty burger back on the menu.

Morgan Sullivan

Excellent all around - in my personal experience, the personal pizza was reasonably sized - don't understand the other reviews complaining. Pasta was gluten free, appreciated much. All was amazing, nice subtle heat. Will visit again.

Street parking. It could take time to park during the busy hours. There is only one rest room. The service can be a little slow. The food is good and the price is average. They can accommodate gluten sensitivity

Ground Hideout is like a home away from home. I moved in a few blocks away during the beg of the pandemic ,and found this spot during one of walks. The family is beautiful and makes you feel welcome every time you come in. The drinks are delicious and creative, and they sometimes have vegan and gluten free options for their pastries!
