Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Iowa

Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

Love this place. Great gluten free options & excellent service!

Outstanding Experience at Destination Grille! From start to finish, our visit to Destination Grille in Grimes was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere is inviting and modern, perfect for a night out or a casual dinner. What truly made our experience exceptional was the service—Andrea was incredible! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. As someone who is gluten-free, dining out can sometimes be a challenge, but Andrea went above and beyond to ensure I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. The gluten-free menu options here are fantastic—plentiful, clearly marked, and absolutely delicious. It’s refreshing to find a place that offers variety and flavor without compromise. Highly recommend Destination Grille for anyone looking for excellent food and even better service. Ask for Andrea—you’ll be glad you did!

I come here for the gluten-free cakes and treats. Only once did I have an old slice, I won't pick the last one next time. Can't wait to see what's on the counter next time I pop in

Delightful place. The food is amazing, the space is cozy, the atmosphere is neighborly. It is a local pub with really cool maps on the wall. They offer delicious vegan (and soy free !) food. It can even be gluten free. Service is great and friendly.

Café d'Marie is a destination restaurant for us. On any roadtrip, we intentionally time our trip so that we can stop at this wonderful establishment. The food is incredible, with their paninis, soups, drinks, and desserts always tasting amazing and bringing something unique. They are incredibly accommodating to dietary restrictions with both vegetarian and gluten free options. The ownership and waitstaff are incredibly kind and ensure that you have a positive and comfortable experience. The space itself is gorgeous and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Davenport.

Such a cute spot! The aroma walking in just so yummy! I ordered Black Raspberry Oreo ice cream. There were a wide variety of flavors with quite a bit of gluten free (GF) options as well. The one scoop I got in my waffle cone was looking more like 2 scoops! Extremely generous portions!

Lots of gf options! The manager explained the menu which was clearly marked with many gluten free options. We enjoy the cheese curds from their dedicated fryer. Thanks to the Find Me Gluten free app for helping us find a celiac safe dining opinion in North East Iowa!

Shari Damaso

This is our favorite place for tasty affordable pizza that is easy to customize. The gluten-free options are fantastic!

Not bad option for Gluten Free casual dining. The GF beer is amazing, but no potato vodka option like the Map Room. There is only one GF bun, so don't expect a "hoagie" with the Philly Cheese Steak - the flavor of which is good, but not great. I shied away from the special coleslaw due to the accents about the cilantro, but when I asked for a taste, it was good. And the black bean salad was AMAZING! (despite the canned beans). Only mildly busy on this Monday happy hour, but very friendly customers! B.T. Is not a fan of women on their own (observed over 2hrs).

Pizza was great, but more importantly to me, the staff were friendly, welcoming and made the experience enjoyable. The gluten free crust / pizza was very good and my family and I will definitely be going back.

Nicholas Kalianoff

Great place to sit on the patio or watch the games. Very conscious about gluten free options also. Good drinks, reasonable prices.

Great place if you have celiac family members!

This place ROCKS!! Our server Olivia was great and we really enjoyed the coffee, gluten-free pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and omelettes. The only thing holding this place back from a full 5 stars was the portion size of the orange juice. Orange juice was $5.50, and while I understand that it is fresh-squeezed, the portion size was only about 5 total gulps (I’ll do the math for ya - more than 1 dollar per gulp…) which was disappointing. Don’t get it twisted - we LOVE this place and will totally be back again as we have many times before. Just leaving some constructive criticism as we truly want this place to flourish! Thanks again Olivia!

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

Dani Rae Carter

Incredible! The drinks were fun and the menu had a ton of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free options. Beautiful atmosphere as well- Would recommend!

Driving through Iowa, I decided to take a break at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers—and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Calista’s friendly and welcoming attitude made the experience even better. She provided excellent service, ensuring everything was just right. The Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger was delicious, served on a gluten-free bun that was soft yet held together perfectly. And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal! This location delivers on both great food and outstanding customer service. If you’re in the area and craving a satisfying meal, Red Robin won’t disappoint!

Heather Turnmeyer

Great food, gluten free bun and vegan burger offered.

My family and I came to eat here on 6/20 because of the dairy free and gluten free options, necessary accommodations for some of our family members. The vibe was alright; we called ahead and were seated promptly. The outdoor play area was a neat touch. The server was friendly but did forget to place the order for my 2 year old, which was frustrating. It was highly concerning that our food came out so quickly. My husband and I ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich; it was greasy and gross and I could not eat it. My brother-in-law got The Dunbar, which also had bologna on it. The 3 of us who had some of the bologna ended up with food poisoning. I attempted to notify the restaurant via Facebook messenger and the 3 attempts “couldn’t send”. I sent them a message through their website, and also contacted the health department. Not a good experience and won’t be back. Update: they did reply back to my message through their website and refunded us, so I appreciated the customer service aspect to help remedy the situation.

I've gone here several times and I am always pleased with the food. I'm gluten free and nearly everything on the menu is safe for me to eat, but they still take care to make sure that my food is safe from cross contamination.

We go to a lot of different Culvers for their gluten free buns, and this location somehow made it taste the best. The bun was piping hot when it came to us, and it was so soft and moist. It held together until we finished the burgers which wasn't our experience in other locations. It was during the lunch rush but the service was super fast through the drive-thru.

I have extreme gluten allergy. Ordered s'room burger on gluten-free bun. Had trouble with fries last time so I ordered a salad NO CROUTONS . Of course when Uber gets here there are CROUTONS in and on my salad.

They have gluten free bread. I was able to get a sandwich and it was delicious

Chris C

Gluten free bread actually taste like real bread!!! First time in a long time, food came out fast and hot and servers where super friendly

Attention Celiacs! A Hidden Gem for Fresh, Gluten-Free Eats After a trip to Colorado, I was craving the perfect grain bowl—and I stumbled upon this place. Think of it as a guilt-free Chipotle! I ordered the Fiesta Bowl, and my wife got a similar dish. Everything was fantastic—the portion sizes were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were spot on. I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before, but I’ll definitely be back!

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

I placed a pickup order at 5:16pm and app said order would be ready at 5:30pm. Arrived at 5:45pm and it took until 5:50pm to get assistance. Teenager at register stated it would take 10 minutes. He then confirmed with cook that 10 minutes was accurate. Cook looked at ticket and said with 2 gluten free sandwiches it would be a while. Grill started to be cleaned at 6:05 pm and order was started at 6:10 pm. Let me point out that while standing there waiting I watched the counter fill up with other pick up orders and people walk in put in their order and receive it while I was there. Someone obviously made a conscious decision not to fill my order in a timely manner because of the gluten free sandwiches. Jasmine attempted to give me a cookie and I refused because of allergies at 6:20pm. At 6:23pm more than an hour after my order was placed I received my order finally. My specific instructions in my order were to write names on the sandwich package and to bag the gluten free separately. Neither instruction was followed. Jasmine gave me 2 coupons for 3 sandwiches and I told her i should receive 3 because our order was due at 5:30pm. She said no and that we could leave and didn't need to return to the store. Not once did she apologize or provide an explanation. I was not happy and yelled going out the door thanks for not saying I'm sorry. I would have been happy with the 2 coupons and an apology. Jasmine lacks the skills to be a manager if she can't apologize to a customer for a decision she probably made. I feel that Jasmine was discriminatory in her actions because of the food allergies and her overall actions. Jersey Mike's as a company has practices in place to accommodate customers with food allergies but this employee seems to have decided to not provide your typical great service becsuse of it.

This isn't a fancy style reseraunt but for something quick on the go that has non dairy and wheat free options, this is a nice place to stop. I enjoy eating the pad Thai with rice noodles since I don't eat wheat or gluten. Low cost for a good portion size and tastes good.

ziggis is hands down the best place for coffee, a snack, meeting with friends, and great customer service. my drink is always delicious and never too bitter or too sweet, this place has never done me wrong. the place is always clean, the staff is always ready to go. i love coming here & even the smoothies are a banger. the gluten free options are so good too. i recommend this place for everyone! i am upset that there has been construction blocking off partial access to ziggis, but its worth the detour every time. go to ZIGGIS!

Some places have good food, some places have good atmosphere, the Morning Story-Marion has both. I have dined here a number of times, quite a number, actually😉 This breakfast & lunch restaurant is bright, bustling, and brand new (in Marion, Iowa since Nov 2021). They have a sophisticated, modern menu with a SW vibe. This is definitely not an old school diner, offering items like a Mimosa Fried Chicken Benedict or the equally scrumptious Green Chili Chicken Hash. I have had perhaps 10 dishes from the breakfast menu and have never been even slightly disappointed. The dishes are generous and will provide yummy leftovers for many patrons. The lunch menu is also full of delectable choices, from sandwiches like burgers, a club, tenderloin, and philly to fresh salads and the always popular half-n-half combo. I had a fantastic breakfast with my partner recently, our choices being the gluten-free Oatmeal Pancakes, with Rolled Oats, Strawberries, Blueberries, Agave Nectar, Blueberry Compote, and Powdered Sugar. Available also as a combo with eggs and a choice of meat. The second dish was the Breakfast Quesadilla with Scrambled Eggs, Diced Bacon, Roasted Onion, Green Peppers, Cheddar Jack Cheese, Jalapeño Cream Cheese, Fresh Herbs, Salsa Roja. Both dishes were incredibly tasty, made fast and fresh with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Enough about the food, no mention of this place would be complete without mentioning the hustling, professional, and super friendly staff. One can not help but feel as though every visit is a get-together with good friends. Every staff member on every visit has been smiling, chatty, and genuinely welcoming. The manager (who is a star) not only circulates the dining room constantly, assuring everything is going perfectly, but also somehow finds time to speak to all of the customers in this very busy restaurant in an unhurried way that never ceases to amaze me. Visit for breakfast or lunch, and I can promise you will be thrilled with the food and delighted with the staff. Tell 'em Ricki sent you @RickiGoesOut

We visited the Ames location for the first time for a birthday and it was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive. Great selection of mocktails. Loved that it is quiet and you can easily carry on a conversation with others--even in a large group. Lots of gluten free options if you need those!

James White

We were very saddened and disheartened to find that this restaurant no longer offers a gluten-free menu or are gluten-free fryer. If you are like us and came here regularly for gluten safe tasty food, they no longer have the menu or gluten-free frier.fries. very disappointed.
