Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Bradenton

EDIT: Just went again today (6/23/2025) and had a negative experience in the service department. Due to the plexiglass and loud environment they could not hear that I wanted a four, not a six and then acted like it was my fault that I was getting the wrong thing. It was only when I got to the protein selection and they asked "what would you like for your second protein?" that I realized it was not the correct thing as this was only my third time in. At that point the bowl consisted of 2 bases (included in both) and 2 veggies (the four would've just been 1 at this point) and then 1 protein, so basically the four with one extra veggie. Then they put it on me basically pressuring me into getting the larger meal (which I did not finish because it was way too much). Actually just such a negative experience, I'm not sure if I'll be back any time soon. For anyone else thinking of visiting be sure to bring a megaphone to ensure you're loud enough over the loud environment so you don't end up in the same predicament. For anyone wondering, my original review is below--it was 5 stars across the board, but now it's a 2 overall, 2 for service for obvious reasons, and a 2 for the atmosphere because of how loud it was which made it impossible to order and the fact that the air dryers in the bathroom are the worst hand dryers I've ever used--they would only stay on for maybe a second and then immediately turn off, and there were no paper towels as a different option. Original review: Went in for my second visit and it was just as good as the first. The concept is similar to a build your own sandwich or burrito bar, but for bowls featuring many different bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces. They have no gluten in any of their menu items and have pretty clean ingredients including using olive oil for all cooking, antibiotic and hormone free proteins, and no processed sugar unless otherwise indicated.

First time here 2.15.2025. Greeted by our server, Paige. She was good - did important things like keeping the water filled and involving Brandi the manager when we mentioned my wife had severe gluten allergy/must eat gluten free. The food and the atmosphere (sitting on the water with a nice breeze, waves crashing, and beautiful design aesthetics at the restaurant), literally couldn't have been better. For that I kind of understand why the food takes a while to come out (we were there about 30 mins before we received our apps) - it's an experience and you don't want to rush. At least I hope that is why it took so long. :) The price of the meal was expected since we had lobster, apps, crab cakes, and the wonderful location. We paid about $65/pp without alcohol and dessert. We will be back.

Great service, great food. I am gluten free and I’m able to have some tasty options! Love the fries, onion rings, and double cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. :)

Good coffee. I eat shrimp and grits everywhere it's served, but this was one of the best I've ever had! My wife had to confirm her pancakes were gluten-free because they were so good.

What an amazing find !! The burgers are absolutely delicious ! The menu is loaded with different types of burgers, including gluten free and vegan options. There are also other non burger options that are quite good. I highly recommend S.O.B. Burgers !!

I recently had the pleasure of using Mission BBQ for catering, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! Michelle and her team were outstanding from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, even adding last-minute beverages to our order without any hassle. The food was a huge hit with our guests—everyone raved about it! The tasting prior to the event was amazing, showcasing their commitment to quality and flavor. What truly impressed me was their attention to detail; they remembered that the bride was gluten-free and made sure to include her favorite sauces, which made the day even more special. Overall, I highly recommend Mission BBQ catering for any event. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Thank you, Michelle and team, for making our celebration unforgettable!

Such a cute little spot. The decor is so fun and inviting. The food was amazing! I really loved the peanut butter acai. My son inhaled the strawberry banana smoothie. The staff was super friendly and made everything to order. I also appreciated the dairy and gluten free options.

My family recently moved into town and we went looking for a place to eat. We found a great restaurant with wonderful staff especially our waitress Sierra S. who was a great help in telling us all the specials and what she enjoyed on the menu. There wasn't anything we ordered that the table didn't enjoy. They also have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. My family plans to come back!

My daughter's and I just had the best meal tonight! It has been awhile since my girls have been able to eat pasta. Both have gluten intolerance. Sierra was friendly, kind and knowledgeable about all of the dishes. This was a fantastic way to start out vacation.

I usually avoid pub themed dining… because of the noise. Lunch wasn’t too noisy and the pizza was great… and gluten free.

Their coffee is so good, and the gluten free treats!!! I got a GF raspberry cinnamon roll and it was INCREDIBLE. I was glad I heard about them through the Manatee library! 🥰 Get the lavender honey latte. 🪻🍯☕

The food is just BAD. Options for gluten free for BASIC items like rice…RICE… are very limited. They literally use wheat flour in their rice because it comes prepackaged and they can’t adjust the recipe. This means they aren’t cooking in the restaurant. Even the steak, shrimp cocktail and rice bowls weren’t gluten free. In the end I ordered a salad which made me sick because the lettuce was wilted and old. I should’ve known better and not eaten it, but after the rude waitress told me no on everyitem on the menu I was so hungry I ate the salad anyways. Within an hour I had the worst abdominal cramps so no doubt it was the lettuce. All I can say is save your money and buy a bag of lettuce at the store. You’ll be better off.
