Top 50 Gluten-Free Places with Outdoor Seating in Southwest Orlando

Mariesa Baker

Great food, for celiacs! They have a house made GF bread.

A new absolute must for my family when we come to universal! Unexpectedly reasonable prices and genuinely fantastic food that you wouldn’t normally get at a theme park. The inside atmosphere was a lovely cross between whimsical under the sea, elegant and cozy. I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather end our long (but awesome!) day. Servers were fantastic, friendly, attentive and charismatic, everything you’d want them to be. There were even great options for my mom and her gluten allergy! Only drawback is it was absolutely freezing inside. Noticeably colder than regular chilly air conditioning in the summer, and we were so uncomfortable, we asked to be moved outside (which ended up being beautiful so no real problem).

We ate here two times in a week and had a great time with each visit. The food is good, plentiful, and there are many gluten-free options. The atmosphere is what you expect for a Jimmy Buffet-started restaurant, with continuous videos of his concerts and an erupting Volcano. My kids loved it.

Susan Bradford

Simone provided us above and beyond service today! My gluten allergy was taken very seriously. The chef delivered my food. Great selection for non gluten free folks and a decently good selection for GF folks, including GF soy sauce!

Kylie Kurzmann

The Gluten Free service here was above and beyond. Our server was fantastic and fully knowledgeable. After I placed my fully GF order, she still got it "approved" by the chefs, which was awesome. It came out clearly marked as 'allergy'. The Atmosphere here is very cool, with a large stage, and live music. Everywhere you look is vibrant and fun true to universal nature!

Mark Polson

Kim and Nicole were on it! Accommodating my son’s gluten intolerance. Refilled drinks in prompted, seemed to really care. Just awesome!

Melissa Gossett

Great place to eat and great experience. Food was delicious and came to our table fast. I especially love the care and attention they took with my food as I have Celiac Disease and needed all my food gluten free with no cross contamination. Chef came out to take my order, she prepared my food to ensure safety and brought it to my table herself covered. I greatly appreciate when I can eat somewhere and know that my food is safe to eat and won’t make me sick. No reaction at all and it was delicious! I had the chicken with roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and lemonade for the drink. Husband had the chicken and ribs and said it was delicious as well. We both loved it!

Carrie Ponce

The food was delicious! Loved the truffle fries. They offer a gluten-free bun.

Mariah Perez

I have a gluten allergy and was very well taken care of. The assistance chef Heidi was very helpful and took her time preparing my order separately. 10/10 would recommend, thank you Heidi!

Dale Rigdon

Without a doubt the best dining experience we have had at a theme park and our new favorite restaurant at the parks. My wife had the roasted chicken which features a Moroccan inspired flavor profile. It is served on a potato cake with root vegetables. Each element was cooked perfectly. The menu did not indicate it was gluten free but the chef was kind enough to assure us that it was (so either the menu had not been updated with the new item or it was modified). I had the seared tuna noodle bowl. It is served cool and has a higher spiciness so maybe not for everyone. This was truly an elevated meal that we would have been happy with at any restaurant. We honestly felt that the meal was a bargain for its quality and portion. How often can you say that about a restaurant inside a theme park? Don't sleep on Confisco.

Colleen King

Truthfully I haven’t been to a PF Changs in a long time but I am so happy I went back. The service was really great your staff is so well trained in customer service. Jessica was our server and she guided me through the gluten free options available. When I took my first bite I had to call her over and have her verify it was gluten free. It was so good that I was in disbelief! Thank you so much ! I will be back!

Aryn McKnatt

so delicious!! and so many gluten free options! my mom (gluten intolerant) and I were so happy- the coconut chicken soup, pad thai, and dessert were so yummy and filling. highly recommend!

Dale Rigdon

This place is such a great amenity for Cabana Bay. There is something for everyone. My wife has a gluten allergy and the chef prepared her a meal to accommodate her dietary needs. WE ate two meals here during our stay. I had churrasco beef and then the super salad. My wife had gluten free pizza and gluten free chicken nuggets. The salad was probably the best salad I have had in a very long time and felt like a great value at under $10. The gluten free chicken nuggets were top notch. Glad to report that my wife had no adverse reactions after eating here. Don't make a special trip here if you are not staying on property, but if you are there take advantage of the options.

Lynn Sweet

Let your server know that you need GF!

Ross H.

This, by far, was one of the best hotel restaurants we've ever experienced! It had a great mood, day or night, great lighting, and spacious. The staff were awesome, including the hosts and the waiters. We had Jeremy multiple times and we was awesome. The menu includes multiple Gluten-free items, and the kitchen has separate facilities when making those items. This was perfect for us with one of kids having Celiac. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant multiple times. Although the prices were high (no surprise, it's a theme-park resort hotel), the food was always great! Breakfast buffet has tons of options, definitely try it.

Hillary

Gluten free and vegan available!

Tucked in a corner in the Jurassic area, we got an outdoor table facing where the Jurassic water ride splashes down. You can find a seat & order from the app, or have someone get a table & you can order at the register. But you need to know the table number. They deliver the food to you. My rotisserie chicken salad was excellent! So freaking good. My hubby got pork nachos that he said were good, not great. We both loved watching the water ride while we ate. If you are gluten free, they had lots of options that were clearly marked.

Marc Sing

Great food and great service as always!!! Wife has Celiac and the menu was filled with wonderful gluten free options!! Their low calorie options were great as well!! The sesame ginger chicken was great! We always love coming to The Cheesecake Factory and this time was another reason why we will be back!

Andrea Tremols

Sadly disappointed by this restaurant. We went out of our way to come here as I had heard it was very accommodating for gluten free individuals. Our server was terrible and not accommodating at all. He made us feel as though we weren’t wanted and he didn’t want to be there which I can understand having worked in food and bev but a good waiter never show that, especially at a restaurant at this price point. The gluten free empanadas were excellent but make sure to ask that it goes to the gluten free fryer. The mocktails were also very yummy as was the soup but don’t get the chicken wings. They are overpriced and mediocre in flavor. While food was decent with service this bad we won’t be back.

Stacey Pearce

We had Christina who was so lovely and welcoming. She made us all feel at home and was very knowledgeable about gluten free foods etc would highly recommend

Charlize Benenati

Excellent service here. The chef came out for gluten allergy. The cashier Justin was super friendly. I recommend the Tots Carnitas for a quick lunch.

Sabrina “beautiful jewel” Carty

I visited Orlando with my family and after a full day at Disney we stopped at Giordano's for dinner. I got a gluten free pizza and it was the BEST gf pizza I have ever had. It didn't taste like cardboard and had so much flavor. Our server Carlos was exceptionally nice and attentive. I would 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Keenan

Fantastic food. I had the chicken fusion bowl and the chicken was delicious, very well flavored. My wife is gluten free and had plenty of tasty food options as well.

Pilar Rodriguez Formoso

Exquisite always does not fail, it has a GLUTEN FREE / GLUTEN FREE menu, since any burger can be ordered with gluten free bun (gluten free bread)

Hannah Gray

I came here with my son on a mommy-son date, and I was so impressed with our food and service. Our server, Eduardo, was amazing. He was very attentive and very knowledgeable. They have a lot of gluten-free options here which made it wonderful to be able to have a normal meal. Also, the gluten-free pizza cookie for dessert was amazing. Our service was fabulous and made for a wonderful dining experience. We do not live close by, but if we are back in the area, we would definitely dine there again.

Jennifer Murray

Amazing place to eat! It is a unique concept with delicious food and gluten-free options. I encourage everyone to give it a try!

Tom Bergeron

really good gluten free food fries are in a separate fryer. nice to have fries and a burger and a bun in a theme park, super rare for me.

Duncan Magendanz

We were warmly greeted upon arrival and informed that, unfortunately, there was a short wait for a table. However, we could leave a number, and they estimated it would be about 15 minutes. Just 8 minutes later, they found us waiting in the lobby and invited us inside. Once seated, we were quickly taken care of, receiving our drinks and food in a very reasonable time. Our waiter checked in about our preferred spice levels, ensuring every dish was perfectly spiced for our group. He even recommended the right amount of food, and everything turned out delicious. We felt welcome throughout the entire experience. My wife has Celiac disease and cannot have gluten, but this didn’t slow them down at all. They were knowledgeable about her dietary needs and handled her allergy with care. Overall, it was an absolutely amazing dinner with great food and stellar service.

Tica María

Calvin the waiter was extraordinary--he gave excellent service the best we have had our entire stay here at the Lowe's, Portofino, or in Universal Park. He went above and beyond even offered to steam the almond milk for my coffee. The restaurant itself has beautiful classic Italian decor. The food quality is solid, but Calvin the waiter was extra special to my daughter with her gluten allergy and made menu recommendations and was so helpful. Highly recommend and if you need an excellent waiter request Calvin💕💕💕

Clare Richardson

Great burger. The veggies are fresh, the flavor is amazing, and they do gluten free! I told the chef I have celiac and he cooked my burger separately. They have gluten free buns, the cheese sauce is gluten free, and they have tater tots for us gluten free folks! Would highly recommend. It was an experience.

Brit Thompson

Kaylee is so sweet! I have a gluten allergy and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a great lunch. Felt safe knowing she cared as much as she did about my allergy! Food was phenomenal per usual. That GF calamari is too good! Thanks for a beautiful experience, Kaylee!!!

Star Gate 963

The food is hot & fresh! This is not fast food and a fresh breath of air. I'll never need nor return to fast food after finding this delightful place to dine. You can order at the table and they take it to you. The veggie burger, gluten free bun, grilled chicken sandwich and soft serve ice cream are fantastic! I didn't care for the older music but the food is worth it.

Trinity Bea

Javi and team were so accommodating and amazing to us on our first visit! I got to customize my meal to make it a gluten free chicken sandwich and let’s just say - I can’t wait to come back to Orlando. From the moment we walked in, everyone was as welcoming and friendly! Thank you all so much!

Natalie Ray

Our waiter Esteban was amazing perfect service the perfect attention but not hovering! Food was amazing he asked about my gluten allergy and made sure it was okay that the corn tortillas and chips were cross contaminated. I don’t have celiac so it wasn’t an issue, but if you do have celiac and go here then I would choose something not fried but it was incredible!!

Marianna H

Arturo was amazing! And Kiara was truly awesome as well! Went there for my boyfriend’s graduation and I could not have picked a better place! They also have gluten free options!

Coco Milan

Great pizza and great service. Everyone was so nice. Plus, they have gluten-free crust for no additional charge, which is amazing.

Debbie Skinger

I was so happy with our experience here that we went twice in one week! The food was decent, but what I was most happy about was that the chef came out to take our order both times. It is rare that restaurants take celiac disease seriously, especially quick service. I felt very confident that the food was safe and very welcomed here with dietary restrictions. We will be back!

Austin H

This review is based on a legit seafood restaurant sitting inside a theme park truly a hidden gem imo! step out of the busy people filled street in Florida heat into a upscale, chilled spot with a beautiful saltwater aquarium placed right in the middle of the downstairs seating. If it were not in a theme park I’d probably do 4 star. But it’s not so here’s to 5 stars! -indoor and outdoor -upstairs and down stairs -cleanest bathrooms in the park -gluten free options -don’t forget we’re talking about a restaurant in a theme park! -tuna app is fantastic -cappuccino slaps if you need one -never had a bad waiter or waitress -never had a bad meal here -never visited universal and not eaten here -located across from Dagon Alley so you can hit ice cream or butter beer right after This place will let you escape the park life just long enough to yearn for more. Whoever decided to put this in the park, BRAVO!

Marta Energía

I love the most the fact they have gluten free, vegan and lactose free drinks options. Coming back soon!

Hermione Phillips

Unique and delicious pizza options including gluten free crust.

Lydia Graham

This location is excellent for gluten free! They offer Udis gf bread, they change their gloves and clean everything down. All without a fuss which is so appreciated! The sandwich was delicious and the service was great!

Jesse Ihnen

We are at Toothsome twice during our recent Orlando vacation. The first time was for dinner and dessert. My partner is gluten sensitive and vegetarian; thankfully the menu was clearly marked and the waiter was knowledgeable about items that could be alerter to accommodate dietary restrictions. I had a steak sandwich and peanut butter dessert the first night and my partner had a veggie pasta and flour-less chocolate cake. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food so much, we decided to return the following day for brunch. I'm addition to the restaurant, we enjoyed the gift shop and even picked up a small souvenir.

Chris B

We only stopped for a drink waiting for the rain to pass and ended up here for two hours eating, drinking and having a brilliant time! Our server was excellent, well versed on gluten free options, the drinks were tasty and the service was outstanding. The pulled beef with coconut rice is my new firm favourite!!

Alex Kolpack

Overall poor food quality, poor service, great atmosphere. Tatter tots that were labeled gluten free weren’t actually gluten free and resulted in me being overcharged for what I got.

Kristi Wasilkowski

Every time I have come to this Five Guys, it’s been a great experience. I go to the one on Millenia Blvd by the Costco. I have a gluten allergy and they are very nice about. They have always taken it seriously and handle my food with care which I appreciate tremendously!

Carley Potter

Delicious. So many wonderful gluten-free options.

Savanna Truelove

Kim Kim is phenomenal! My husband has a food allergy to gluten and they do in fact have GF buns! Just ask! She helped take care of us swiftly and has a great attitude and brightness to her. Food was good too!

Katt !! (SovlKatt)

I sat down here with my five friends. My food came out and tasted good, but my poor friends did NOT have the same experience. The cookie did not even taste like cookie. The seating is horrible, it’s strange and unlike any other place. My friend with celiac got a massive amount of tater tots. She didn’t eat them because she didn’t know if they were safe. She paid tons of money for an L rizz meal… her grilled cheese was bad too. The cookie from earlier? Oh yeah, RAW. Might as well run behind the counter and munch on a handful of raw cookie dough. My other friend didn’t even GET her food. Very homophobic. Smh. Not the mention, the waitresses had negative aura points for not even giving good service. Do NOT munch here.

Very very happy that we ate here! The chicken is delicious. I’m a huge fan of tostones and yuca fries. Most of the menu is gluten free or can be modified for a gluten intolerance. The fresh fruit juices are no joke, Mango was my choice and I was blown away.
