Top 40 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Downtown Nashville

Sarah Upton

Incredible menu with gluten-free options. The owner has gluten allergies and therefore has an entire kitchen designated for gluten-free diets. I’m telling you, their pizza and all their bread options are incredible. Even the gluten-free stuff is bomb. Don’t forget to try that pasta. We love brunch lunch dinner and snacks. You will not be disappointed.

My boyfriend and I are both celiac. We went back three times on our week long trip to have the gluten free pizza and Cloud 9 wings. Nef is the best bartender and even showed us the ingredient list for the pizza dough incase it interfered with another allergy of mine

Had the most amazing lunch at the Omi Hotel! They had a dedicated fryer for gluten free buffalo wings, tots and fries and gluten free buns for the burgers as well!!

Made reservations.it was not too busy.service was wonderful.celiac friendly . We had Frenched chicken breast very strong on the ancho glazed but chicken cooked perfectly. Grilled filet mignonette was overcooked but more because I said medium instead of medium rare.

Had the chance to go last Thursday while in town for a wedding and chose to sit at the Chef’s Counter either my girlfriend. Outstanding experience and choice, great service and server was very good about accommodating my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. Even more impressive was the food, some truly just well done dishes. One of the Chef’s, JD, that we met was awesome and helped give recommendations on fan favorites from their new menu. Check out that pork ribeye and s’mores dessert especially, out of this world. Would travel back to Nashville just to have dinner here again!

One of my new favorite restaurants!! Our server (Emma) was outstanding and the food was really great! I have a gluten allergy and there were many choices for me to choose from. 10/10

An invite from our friend @thetipjarnash took us to @sundanewasian for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Nashville. Its name is a nod to the Southeast Asian continental shelf underlying the region inspiring the myriad of flavors highlighted by the array of cuisine from founder @billydec and executive chef @mike_sunda From Dim Sum to sushi rolls, main courses and “new Asian creations,” there is truly something on the menu for everyone. As always, we’ve posted a guide to our “reel” menu below in case you want to say, “I want what they had” (and we’re pretty sure you will.) 🍹: Grass Tiger & Strawberry Fields 🍣: Signature Crispy Rice {Wagyu & Spicy Tuna} 🥗: Crispy Brussels Sprouts 🍱: Sweet Potato Caterpillar & Island Maki 🐟: Tom Yum Sea Bass 🥮: Bibingka* Also of note: Kevin our waiter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he elevated the entire dining experience and we’d definitely recommend requesting seating in his section. Also a huge thanks to Matt for his hospitality and attention. Thank you Sunda for a top-notch experience from food to service, start to finish. *Bibingka was an off-menu dessert item that you absolutely should ask for. If you happen to have a gluten sensitivity, bonus points that this cake is made with rice flour! In fact, many items on the menu are friendly to dairy, gluten and other allergies or sensitivities. Also of note, most of their cocktails can be served as mocktails without sacrificing any flavor so you can still drink decadently without imbibing!

Emmy Squared was amazing! We chose this restaurant bc of the gluten free crust option! This was the best pizza, you would never know it was gluten free. Hands down a win!

Bridgette Larocque

has great gluten free options and they were super understanding about my celiac disease and ensured there was no cross contract.

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

Great for gluten free! Jesse was very helpful.

Meredith Reuse

We waited in line about 45 minutes. It was our second visit. It was raining so we debated going somewhere else but it was worth the wait and we were covered. The staff handled everyone and everything seamlessly. Our waitress was great. I ordered GF pancakes, eggs over well and crispy bacon. Very good. I wasn’t sure how the pancakes were going to turn out but when you’re picky (well, gluten sensitive), you can’t complain! At least I got to eat a pancake!! I thought they were good. The others said their pancakes were amazing. Great maple syrup. The eggs and bacon were cooked as ordered and delicious. We will return!

I have Celiacs, so I got a classic burger with gluten free bun and side salad. I wanted tater tots, but when I asked if fries and tots have a dedicated fryer, the server informed me everything is fried in the same oil. So no tots for me. The sprite I ordered tasted disgusting. The syrup must have been running out. Server brought me a drink "from the back" it was much better. However when she brought another refill she must have forgot and I got the disgusting sprite again. Order was not correct. I watched the server put the order in correctly. Burger did not have cheese and salad had tomatoes. Specifically asked for cheese on my burger and no tomatoes in the salad. At least they got the gluten free bun correct. Manager was at the next table and he saw me not eating my food. I was waiting for our server. He asked if there was anything wrong. He gave me my meal for free and had my order redone. Burger was just ok. Service was mediocre. Server was fine but was more attentive to the bigger parties which I get. Server was knowledgeable about how food was prepared but was not very knowledgeable about what foods on the menu were gluten free. Luckily the food I did eat did not cause any issues. However, I will not be going back.

Cute place. Some gluten free options

Jill Swisher

I appreciate that they had plenty of gluten free options!

Lauren Klipp

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Lisa Mayberry

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.

Emily Borghard

It was a great place and they were so clear with the gluten free!!

Cheri Mann

Love the myriad of flavors in the Poke bowl. Party in your mouth! Friendly staff. Fun place. Especially good for gluten free peeps.

Connor Wair

Ashlea was such an amzing server. Lovely personality. Food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. And their gluten free menu was very accommodating and gave many options.

Kathleen Klukas

Authentic NY pizzeria atmosphere, excellent customer service! I got the gluten free cheese pizza and Greek salad. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner, take out or dine in!

Austin Ma

They say you should always follow the fat kid to find a good restaurant, and rest assured, according to my near-morbidly obese BMI index, this fatty sure has found a good place for y’all to enjoy I came here expecting a typical ramen bowl, however, due to my gluten intolerance i took the “Donburi” chinese rice bowl which had fried eggplants, dry-ginger-spiced pork belly, and amazing number of other flavors. Truly unlike anything I’ve ever had haha

Broke our mother out of the nursing home for a few hours to take our sister from England who we’d just met for the first time out for brunch. Called before making a reservation for 9 people and the host told me that we could fit 9 people at a table for 8, so I went ahead and made the reservation. When we got there, there was no way that we could all fit in the booth with my mother in a wheelchair at the end of the table. There was a private table in the front of the restaurant that the manager refused to seat us at because there was a $150 fee for that table plus a $500 minimum. She also said that room had to have two servers, yet we only had one server at the two tables we were forced to sit at. Very disappointed in the managements efforts to accommodate us on this special day for our family. The food was hit or miss, about half of our party enjoyed it while the other half was not. I had the smash burger without a bun because I can’t eat gluten and it was small and boring. A friend had the chicken and biscuit and she liked it. My wife enjoyed the breakfast wrap. My sister had the salmon Benedict and didn’t like it at all (she’s a chef). Our server, Courtney, did a great job. The management itself, not so good. Customer service is truly a thing of the past.

Amy Bolan

Impossible Burger and gluten free buns available. Waffle fries regular and sweet potato are very good.

Molly Murtagh

I ordered the GF pizza that came up as “Gluten Free Pizza Spot” on DoorDash. I hoped if they’re advertising GF it would be good. Instead it was rubbery and a little slimy.

Crystal Williams

The Barista is the best, she is friendly but also makes wonderful drinks!! Very nice place for just a morning drink or breakfast… and bonus, gluten toast!

Jackie Killian

There isn’t much to the menu but the burger was one of the best tasting burgers I’ve ever had! It was seriously so delicious. My celiac daughter had a burger with the gluten free bun and loved it as well. The fries weren’t anything to write home about and I didn’t eat most of them. The drinks (alcoholic) are really expensive, so probably not somewhere you’d want to do a lot of drinking if you have other options.

Karen Pr

Wonderful time at dinner. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and wanted something special—and we got it! Food was fabulous (he got the filet; I got the flatiron). Arielle was our server and gave us excellent attention—not too much and not too little. We never felt rushed nor forgotten. My husband has celiac, so we were very appreciative of the staff’s attention and care. The chocolate torte is worth a special trip! We were able to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Minnie Murphy and the band did not disappoint. Excellent music and lots of fun! Everyone made us feel super special as we celebrated this milestone. Thank you, Sambuca!

Mel Davenport

Gluten free bun is 🔥. I had the Bernie and fries and it was the best burger I’ve ever had. Stock never fails to impress me!

Robyn Pichler

Being gluten intolerant, I love that I can get gluten free favorites. The service and view are outstanding. Mariah was our server. The crab cake BLT would have been superb but the gluten free bun was dry and tasted like cardboard. I know they make better gluten free bread. I suggest they get a new supplier. Then it would be perfection.

Soheyla Marzvaan

Can’t say enough about our server Sarah. She was a delight . Friendly , smart , attentive and she made accommodations for my husband who has gluten restrictions . The chef made steak sauce from scratch and Sarah made it happen for me to make a full meal out of my favorite appetizer shrimp scampi . Plus the shrimp was very fresh . If I could give 20 stars , I would . Exceptional experience after a tiring long day of graduation . Class act all the way . Highly recommend this place .

Very cute place, lovely decor and absolutely loved that the menu had a gluten free dessert!

Eden Savory

I recently visited Central BBQ and was more than pleased with the service that I received. Aria was very personable, kind and prompt. She went above and beyond to ensure that our gluten-free dietary restrictions were met. Food was great and I will definitely be a returning customer due the amazing service received. Thank you!

Hello Darling

Gluten free dreams come true here! Great service, incredible ambiance and vibe! Steak tartar was delicious, filet mignon was perfect and juicy sauce! Best gluten free dessert I have ever had in my life, went back the following day to get the dessert again, they just weren’t serving it at the time I went it! Will be making a trip back just to eat here✨

Taylor

Great atmosphere and music. I came on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend without a reservation. The tables were fill but there was room at the bar and this was the best choice anyway. The bartenders were helpful and friendly as were the other guests seated around us. To start, we shared the beef carpaccio. It was both of our first times having that so I have nothing to compare it to but it was good. For mains, I had the beef short rib which was good but nothing that blew me away. He had the prime rib, which again, was a very good piece of meat but just a typical prime rib. We shared the bacon Brussels sprouts on the side which were tasty and sweet but could have been crispier. I had a taste of the rack of lamb and it was a delicious main as well. We didn’t order any cocktails but I wish we had since they looked absolutely delicious. There was a 3-person jazz band playing throughout our time there and they were groovy but emotionless and lacking stage presence. Was more of a background vibe. They were very accommodating for gluten free, so if you are someone who doesn’t eat gluten then this is a great option. I felt very safe.

Anthony Mazza

Terrible service - sat down and after we were greeted and then didn’t see anyone for 10 mins. My wife has a gluten allergy and our waiter basically told us they have nothing. He also told us that the servers all work together as a team but we didn’t have anyone come up to us. Waste of time. Go somewhere else if your visiting.

Bethaney Moore

everything was awesome! our server Emma was so kind and accommodating, especially with being gluten free! great cocktails, great food, great service. get the street corn
