Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across New Jersey

John Gerwer III

Huge portions, amazing menu, great and professional staff. Gorgonzola pear purses and Balsamic Chicken were to die for. Live accoustic music, not too loud. Perfect. Gluten free, vegetarian, vegan menus. 100% recommend.

Catherine M

Absolutely amazing food and service. Very accommodating for any allergies beyond gluten as well!

Conor MacCourtney

Dedicated Gluten Free fryer, descent selection of GF options. Loud but accommodating for children and families for breakfast. Parking is street parking and there is a public lot. Tough only when it rains or is a beach day.

Erica Uszacki

A great option for both gluten-free and gluten-included food! Had a ton of options to accommodate everyone and were served very quickly! On weekends, try to get a reservation since the indoor seating is limited.

Amazing breakfast this morning. The owner’s daughter has celiac so very aware of cross contamination. My daughter with celiac had pancakes with strawberries. This was her first time eating breakfast at a restaurant since she was diagnosed with celiac. They can make anything on the menu gluten free. The only thing that is not gluten free is the scrapple and tater tots. Very good, we will be back.

Chimney Rock takes food sensitivities very seriously. As a parent of a child with celiac disease, Chimney Rock provides a safe place for my child to eat and feel like any other kid. When we originally called to talk to them about how they handle food, the first person we spoke to answered confidently that they properly separate food prep areas for people with celiac or other gluten sensitive conditions. This told me they train their staff on this subject. They have a ton of gluten free meals, including pizza. The first time we ate here after my child's diagnosis we had so many questions. Our waitress was patient, wrote down everything, double checked with the kitchen and management, and came back to our table multiple times to make sure everything we asked was answered to our satisfaction. Honestly I can't say enough good things about Chimney Rock Inn. We ate here a bunch of times before celiac and it's been good food and service consistently over the years. Eat here. Bring your family. You'll not regret it.

Almost killed our friend with celiac. Got there at 6:30, didn’t receive food until 8:00. Food received was cold and not appetizing. Never came over to tell us what the issue was and left us hungry.

Meghan Kosequat

One of my favorite spots. I’m celiac so I’m extra thankful for places like this. I’m not always in the area but when I am I stop in twice! KITCH muffin for breakfast with citrus black and turkey club with sparkling lemonade for lunch are my favorite and my kids love sitting in there sweet garden area to eat. I recommend ordering online first even if going to sit and eat there. Love the atmosphere and the staff. Small space but warm and inviting.

Melanin Essence

It’s very difficult to find restaurants with gluten-free items. It’s much appreciative that they have gluten-free waffles and pancakes on the food was good.

Katelyn Spielman

Good gluten free options and if you go in, they're always streaming something fun.

Shan M

Love Asbury Kitchen! Breakfast is my fav meal of the day, and OC def has a lot to offer when it comes to breakfast/brunch! My boyfriend has celiacs (gluten free allergy) and this is our go to! Equipped with a separate fully Gluten Free menu, gluten free desserts, and accommodating staff. There were so many options we’ve never seen at other places (gluten free eggs benedict— pictured) and so much more that we need to go back and try— gluten free almond pound cake- yes please! I got a regular Jersey Eggs Benedict which was absolutely delicious and he got the same made gluten free and we shared a stack of gluten free pancakes with fresh strawberry and crispy bacon. Everything was made to perfection!!! Cozy and clean atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of options! Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch and especially for any friends with allergies!

Elizabeth Borges

Entire restaurant is 100% gluten and nut free! Owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the only certified GF restaurants in the area, highly recommend!

Hadas Gold

Ate here twice during our weekend. it’s a fun spot with so many different hot dog options. For us the best part was how awesome they are with allergies - our son is wheat free/gluten free so the fact he could get essentially anything on the menu was so exciting. Chili dog with cheese? Sure. Mac n cheese! Or a brownie ! They’re super careful here. And “Tommy” is so lovely, fun, considerate and clearly enjoys his shop! I wish more places made the same effort for allergy folks!

Steven Bernstein (Stevieb)

Awesome Gluten Free Chinese food.

Jen D

Love true foods ! Waitress was very accommodating for my daughter order who just wanted a gluten free pizza with red sauce and vegan cheese . Love the lavender matcha ! I always order that and so many vegan options. First time trying the vegan cookie and ice cream was delish !

Catherine Eager

We ordered the Crispy Spinach Chaat appetizer with Pork Vindaloo, side of basmati and papadam (an off menu item). We were surprised by pork on the menu but we were told the chef's wife is Italian so there is some influence there. The Spinach Chaat and Pork Vindaloo were delicious! The whole meal was among the best Indian food we've had - and we've had a lot. This was great for gluten sensitivity and the menu was well marked for GF items although there is potential for cross contact in the kitchen as stated on their menu. I didn't feel sick at all and I'm very sensitive. I should've taken pictures but I didn't realize it was going to be THIS good! "Our kitchen prepares menu items that include dairy, gluten, nuts, shellfish and soy. We cannot guarantee menu items to be completely allergen free."

Great local brewing company. Offers gluten-free beers. I see a lot of people on first dates here, there’s a runners group that meets here in the evening during the week, they have game night, date night. You can bring your babies, kids, dogs here. Wheelchair, stroller accessible. There are some snacks, soda for purchase but you can order food and eat it there. There is outside seating on top of beer barrels and metal stools when it’s nice out. Next to Prato bakery. Smaller than the Biergarten but also good for sunny and cold rainy days. Workers are cool and there are a lot of different beers and flights you can get.

Paul Strohecker

The service was great and the food was all really good. As a person who is not gluten free/ vegan, I honestly really enjoyed all of the food. They make a really good tofu scramble!

gianna rocchetti

I love mahana fresh! This gluten free food is absolutely delicious. There is also plenty of vegan options as well as non vegan options. I would definitely recommend coming here!

kerry buckman

Best food, fresh and amazing for Celiacs! The nachos are so delicious!!! Highly recommend!

Upon arriving, we received a not very warm welcome which set a not nice tone for the evening. However, things quickly became a bit disappointing. When being seated, the host mentioned he saw the Resy notes indicating someone in our party was plant-based and gluten-free and asked if we’d like that menu. If it was already noted in the reservation, it would’ve made sense to have those menus ready at the table or automatically offered. Otherwise — what’s the point of specifying it ahead of time? Our server, Mary, unfortunately wasn’t very knowledgeable about the plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free options. She seemed unsure of the menu, had to double-check multiple times, and lacked confidence in answering basic questions about ingredients and modifications. It’s frustrating as a guest when you take the time to add dietary preferences in advance specifically to avoid situations like this. The veggie soup was far too salty and unenjoyable, though the eggplant parmesan was actually pretty good. The Saratoga still water isn’t a personal favorite and it was the only option, so I had to add several lemon wedges just to make it palatable. The most disappointing moment was when I asked about plant-based desserts. Mary seemed confused by the request until my mom clarified by saying “vegan dessert,” which then prompted her to bring over a tray of pre-made dessert shooters to choose from. Honestly, that felt off-putting. Who knows how long those had been sitting out or how many tables they’d been to that night. It just wasn’t an appealing or thoughtful presentation, especially for a restaurant that prides itself on seasonal and fresh offerings. The restaurant was nearly empty given it was the 4th of July, so it would’ve been an ideal opportunity for attentive service. I’m hoping this was just an off night, perhaps due to holiday staffing. I might give them another try on a regular evening to see if it was an isolated issue — but based on this visit, it definitely missed the mark.

Jessica Maloney

Lots of gluten free and dairy free options! The GF pancakes with vegan butter were fantastic. I Highly recommend Bella Vida Cafe if your looking for delicious food, especially for those with food allergies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ann Marone

My experience here was definitely average; 2.5 stars seems more accurate that 2. It looked nice from the outside and and the menu offerings looked good when we previewed online, FOOD: my gluten free buttermilk chicken sandwich and gluten free fries were good. However, my husband ordered the coffee (not good) and the cheesesteak sandwich, which he said tasted like steak ums. (So quality for the price was a mixed bag for us.) SERVICE: A major plus was the hostess and busser. The hostess was super friendly and gracious, and the busser (who also appeared to refill water) was observant and quick to take care. The server was knowledgeable of the menu (I’m gluten free, so that’s important to me), but her quality of service completely paled in comparison to the other staff. ATMOSPHERE: I really thought it would be great (and loved this antique cash register at the hostess stand!) But the vibe felt pretentious and put-on; plus, the place was unexpectedly loud. Like the acoustics of the place weren’t set well or sound didn’t absorb well; every sound seemed magnified. I don’t usually write such long reviews, but this experience was so strange to me. Overall, I’d order gluten free takeout from there, but that’s about it. When we choose to go out to eat, we want to love the experience; this review probably makes me seem like a “Karen”, but I’ve had a lot of serving experience and am pretty understanding. Blue Plate just didn’t meet the expectations that they set with the way they present themselves as an establishment.

Devin Carroll

The food was amazing and everything is gluten free and actually tasted good! The mac and cheese was great. I feel like every brand of gluten free noodles I've tried always get super mushy and they're typically gritty. Whatever brand they are using actually taste like normal noodles. The fried chicken was excellent. The brisket melted in your mouth. The Brussel sprouts and the corn were also really good. Will 100% be coming back.

Lauren Chamides

Fantastic restaurant for gluten free and regular food! The gluten free brownie sundae was the best!

Bernadette Delaney

RUN here if you have celiac or other GF needs. They have fried donuts that don't taste like dry cake. SO GOOD. The marscapone donut was my favorite. The Nutella bites were good, but not as good as I hyped them up in my mind. If this place was around the corner from me I'd be here daily.

Rachel Haines

Gouldsburger's is a weekly stop for me and my office. We have ordered almost everything on the menu. The portions are big and we are always happy with our orders! As someone who is Gluten Free, they have a variety of options that are more than satisfactory. The owner is very kind and passionate about what he does. I highly recommend.

Alex Navarro

This place is a great find. All the burgers we got were amazing. Milkshake was delicious. They had lots of GF options and good protocols which made it feel safe for our celiac kid. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the owner was great about checking in and explaining their GF options and protocols. All the fries are GF and in their own fryer 🙌 Really can’t beat it. We will be back for sure.

Alissa Randall

What a great surprise to find a sushi restaurant in Montclair that is gluten-free! Everything was delicious. The service was fantastic. Cannot wait to come back!

Gabby Ford

Tonight I brought my little sister here for her 21st birthday, and this place did not disappoint. The reservations were flexible, the atmosphere friendly and beautiful, the food delicious and affordable, the facility clean, and the staff wonderful. Our server Chris was a 10/10, and he took the time to explain the menu and go over dietary restrictions with us. He was very professional, welcoming, and made my sister feel taken care of on her big day. We ordered a delicious local Chardonnay, mussels, pasta, chicken and risotto, and ice cream. Our food arrived in a timely manner, was well prepared, and they even brought out a gluten free roll along with the regular bread. They really let us take our time and enjoy the birthday celebration. This place treats their customers well and I can’t wait to come back!

rockyy torres

great vibes, fast service and gluten free options :)

Francis Angelone

Awesome food and staff! Have a dedicated Gluten free pizza menu and are super accommodating! Hummus is a must get!

Susana Abad

This place is my favorite place ever! Best gluten free options and best Italian food in general. Vicky was very helpful and attentive, would always recommend

Eric Aubrey

Food was good…service was great! Gianna was a rockstar! Will definitely be back. Plus for the solid gluten free options.

Harmanpreet Singh

The food here is excellent, and the atmosphere has a great vibe. Their pizzas and salads are especially good. The staff was super friendly too. We ordered a gluten-free pizza, and they accidentally brought out a regular one at first. Once we let them know, they quickly made it right and brought us the correct one at no extra charge. Really appreciated how they handled it.

Sapna

The lavender matcha cookie is delicious, must try! Coffee is great as well. Staff was very friendly. Lots of gluten and nut free options.

Catherine Jacques

Monika Panesso

We all love Scoops just been here with my kids eating a chocolate vegan ice cream with a gluten free cone. Yummy

Andrea Marie

Visiting the area from Pennsylvania and LOVED eating here! Gluten Free menu options! TONS of choices! Decent pricing, extremely fast service, attentive service, friendly & comfortable atmosphere!

Karla Yatckoske

I ordered from Busy Bee on UberEats and was very pleased with my order! The breakfast burrito was so tasty and filling; that plus a slice of banana bread made two meals for me! I really appreciated that the sauce is dairy free! The gluten free tortilla was tasty and did not fall apart. The granola and banana bread were both very tasty as well! I'm gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian, and I'm so happy to have found this restaurant that has tasty and nourishing options!

Amber Frederick

so many gluten free options and our server, Katie, was wonderful! coffee is bomb.

Rex Accavallo

Good lunch spot right on the boardwalk in Asbury. Super nice place / view of the ocean and beach with seating indoors or on the boardwalk. Gluten free options are available and marked on the menu. Shops and other spots along the boardwalk and also you could drive downtown which has a lot going on

Maddy Saks

the food is delicious and i have celiac (gluten free) and they were able to accommodate super easily as there are many options labelled on the menu. will definitely come here again

D C

Amazing and attentive staff! And pizza is always 10/10, grateful for the gluten free options

Bryce Reynolds

Always great service and the coffee is delightful. I’ll add that the gluten free baked goods are amazing. I’m not a gluten free person and generally hate gluten free baked goods, but these are outright delicious. I’d never have guessed they were gluten free and still don’t understand what magic they use.

Karen Armas Landau

Casual- you can even pick up some ‘grab and go.’ Comfortable and clean and nice. Variety- breakfast, lunch, soup, tacos, some muffin/brownie goodies, coffee, tea, fresh juices. Healthy options- salads, not fried, GF if needed,…. Coffee was delicious- just a splash of coconut milk, no sugar needed. The GF toast! It was so perfect I had to double check that it was gluten free! Everything on my Bali plate breakfast was a little extra special- I think it was pesto spread on the toast (or a dab of pesto butter or something), the little salad had a very nice dressing- and wasn’t dripping in it. The avocado was perfect (such a short window of time with avocados!) and had a little something sprinkled on it. The cashier was very helpful and very patient as I took it all in and decided what I wanted. Wish there was one closer to my home or where I work- I’d be back frequently!

Raul Colina

First time. Definitely, I will save this place for next time. They have gluten-free food for real.

Prashant Kumar

Love the build-your-own with unlimited toppings, gluten free crust and vegan cheese options. Don't miss their 3/14 Pi-Day deals. Their rewards program on the app is also great.

Don't bother with any other fast casual restaurant at Princeton. No one matches Jammin' Crepes for speed, friendliness, or quality of flavor and ingredients. They truly look for local businesses to build upon their already impressive menu. They'll make delicious gluten free and vegan crepes as well (and their gluten free crepes are actually mysteriously chewy and delightful). My favorite is a twist on one actually found on the kid's menu: the grilled cheese melty with added pesto. Just do it and thank me later.
