Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

The food was delicious and love that they can make any pizza gluten free!! The GF crust is also some of the best I’ve had :) we also had the loaded potatoes and elote dip and both were excellent. loved the atmosphere and the service was good!
As someone with celiac, finding a donut spot that actually offers good gluten-free options is rare—but Do-Rite totally delivered. Their gluten-free donuts are soft, flavorful, and honestly taste just as good as the regular ones (my non-GF friends were impressed too). I tried the vanilla bean and the chocolate glazed—both were awesome.
They’re careful about cross-contamination, which gave me peace of mind, and the staff was super helpful when I asked questions. I didn’t try the chicken sandwich, but I’ve heard great things and love that they make everything in small batches.
Highly recommend for anyone gluten-free or just looking for a seriously good donut. Do-Rite lives up to the hype!
The best dinner i’ve eaten in Chicago. Gundis’s food, atmosphere, and service are second to none. Before dinner, my friend and I were feeling stressed and looking for a nice dinner. Upon entering Gundis, I instantly felt my shoulders relaxing. The chairs we sat in were so comfortable (!), the menu super clearly labeled (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan), and our dinner (newroz pasta & salad with chicken) was delicious. highly recommend the Kurdish tea and Turkish coffee, too! Can’t wait to come back!
Super nice and happy staff, a few great gluten- free options! The Soy Horchata Hot Chocolate is so delicious!!!😊 Good music and a family like atmosphere
So many vegan options!! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Their smoothies are AH-mazing and their dinner portions are a great size (leaves you leftovers). I don't know how they make their soy gluten but it's out of this world.
Highly recommend for vegans and vegetarians!
We had a pleasant dinner at Si-Pie! The service was immaculate and we will definitely be back. The Lakeview East location is BYOB and has gluten free and vegan pizza. (14” BYO regular thin crust is shown in the pic)

My partner (celiac) and I went to this location last weekend. Everytime we eat out, we tell the waiters of my partners celiac and 2 weeks of pain to help paint the picture and ask for the gf menu. Luckily, their menu was already marked so our waitress said those should be safe for celiacs (though I now see others here that said their waiters said it was not safe), there is not a dedicated gf fryer, and that they’d let the staff know. Even though they said that, the way they said it came off like they didn’t super care, so we’re unsure if the staff actually does have these safety discussions. Which sounds like they don’t take cross contamination seriously, since my partner did get sick. Which is quite a bummer since we really enjoyed the food and the vibes of the place. We were going to definitely become repeat customers if it was safe, since it is in our area, but we will not be returning.
For just a food-based review, there are a good amount of options labeled gf where you can have a good, quick meal. The sushi itself is not the fanciest, but it curves the cravings and it’s right for the price point (~$10-$20 per roll). We loved the taste of the one pink (highly recommended) signature roll. We ordered 4 rolls total for 2 people. Again, take that all with a grain of salt since it’s not actually gf safe.
Great place for my lunch break. The lunch specials are so so good, really well priced & fast. Love the soup too, and it's ready so quickly. (For gluten free they will give you rice or tortilla for the bread, and they have a lot of other gf options on the menu..)
My family and I came here on our way to the Cubs game. Bluebird did not disappoint! It was hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The keto/gluten free chicken is quite tasty. The fries are phenomenal!! We continued to talk about how good the food was hours later! The portion sizes were excellent. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. The staff appear to take much pride in the food and are quite friendly. We will definitely be back and will tell others of our great experience!!!
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. The service was quick. The food was very good. The soup was absolutely delicious. There are plenty of options on the menu, including gluten-free. Full service bar available as well. The menu pricing was very good.
Never a bad night at Cheesies! Always here for you when you need it with amazing food. I’m gluten free and I appreciate their ability to make gluten free sandwiches that are allergy safe! Highly recommend!
Food was great. I love that they are able to make most items gluten free! It’s so hard to find Asian food with a lot of GF options here. The people I was with (who are not GF) also enjoyed their food!
A fantastic ambiance with EXCELLENT sushi! I am a big Sashimi person, but I decided to get some rolls instead this visit and I was very pleased! We loved the music, staff, overall vibe, and the accommodations for my gluten allergy. I highly recommend getting on the wait-list, or making a reservation before enjoy a delightful meal!
A nice place to have breakfast. The waiter was friendly and welcoming. The place did seem understaffed. There was only one waiter who was helping multiple people inside and out as well as seating them. However he was very good at getting orders in and getting food out to you. I hope he gets some extra help in the future. The food was great. They have gluten free bread and pancakes which was very nice to see.
Amazing time spent at Pancake Cafe. We sat outside and soaked in the sun accompanied with aperol spritzes and cappuccinos. I was transcended back to mornings in Italy. Our server, Angie, was attentive and pleasant beyond belief. Both the regular and gluten free pancakes were delicious and fresh. Honestly the best gluten free pancakes I've had. We cannot wait to come back again!!
Menu clearly indicates gluten free items. Server was kind and was able to indicate order was for celiac. Went there was they were having a special on the marg flight.
Outdoor seating was plentiful, good energy on the patio
A true Chi-town neighborhood gem made special by the super friendly staff and cozy (tiny!) atmosphere. Food is very good too. Brilliant vegetables (so hard to find in chicago), basque inspired tapas and unique entrees with a seasonal menu. Charred broccoli was amazing. Parsnips were very good, as were boquerones. Special of the day was a perfectly grilled branzino with tortillas and a lovely pureed red pepper salsa. Wines were okay, but limited by glass (more interesting options by bottle). Dessert was limited to just one option: a basque cake very rich in both dairy and gluten, leaving no dessert option for folks with two common allergens (it sounded great though). And also slightly disappointing, they only have full strength espresso, no decaf coffee of any sort (though they are certainly not the only local restaurant to forego decaf). Overall, mfk. is a winner. Solid 4.5 ⭐️ if I could give it that. Sit at the bar. Order to share. Expect a great time.
If you're a burger enthusiast, DMK Burger Bar in Lakeview is a must-try! With a wide array of options, including gluten-free items, they cater to a variety of dietary needs—a major plus! Their 100% grass-fed beef, bison, and turkey burgers served on artisanal buns are not only delicious but made with quality ingredients. And I could tell! *chefs kiss*
They were featured on the Food Network and recognized as one of Chicago's most iconic burger spots, and now I see why they are a top spot when it comes to the burger scene.
**What We Tried:**
Golden Gate Spritz & Blood Orange Loco: These were just okay/average cocktails IMO.
Backyard BBQ Burger: My dad said it was juicy and flavorful.
-BYOB (Build Your Own Burger): I customized mine (beef/cheese/egg/bacon/lettuce/tomato/chipotle sauce on the side) and really enjoyed it. Presentation was nice as well.
Parmesan Fries with Truffle Cream: A fav! Crispy and fresh. No fry was left behind!
Sweet Potato Fries with Lemon Tabasco Aioli: Pretty good, but have had better. I usually like them a bit crisper.
Crispy Brussels Sprouts: Really good! The parmesan, bacon, and maple honey glaze combo was perfection.
Milkshakes Cookies N Cream & Banana Chocolate): creamy/thick which was delightful because I hate “watery” shakes. Really good wrap up to the meal.
For those that like activities, DMK Burger Bar offers fun extras like trivia nights, happy hour, and even Bachelor Nation watch parties. Football game-day specials are also available for sports fans.
Overall, the food was solid, and the variety makes it worth a return trip! 🌟
Shuri was our server and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took extra care to ensure everything I ordered was gluten free. Everyone here was super friendly and the service was superb. The food was delicious and it came out quickly.
Thai Haven (the new name)
Under new ownership, Thai Haven is now run by TK, who has Thai heritage and a deep understanding of the cuisine. As someone who frequently travels to Thailand, this restaurant truly captures the essence of Bangkok's street food. I ordered the Pad Thai with extra spice, while my partner enjoyed the vegetarian and gluten-free version. The food was excellent, and we were even treated to a complimentary spring roll appetizer. What truly made our experience memorable were the friendly and helpful staff, both of whom were native to Thailand and had a delightful attitude. Despite living in Chicago for years, there were no language barriers. It was a pleasure to converse with them in my limited Thai. We plan on returning often for the fantastic food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service.
This place is really good! We had a great dinner and never felt rushed. The food is delicious though it is pricey. The drinks are also great, and have a very herby theme (rosemary cocktails, artichoke negroni, etc). They have gluten free pasta, and gluten free meatballs.
My husband and I love everything from here. They're also so accommodating to swap regular noodles for gluten free noodles and use gluten free soy sauce. It's our go to for comfort asian food.
Very good Mexican food. Some very nice cooker inside (for French stranger too😜) ingredients are quality and the price is very low and it's very good for gluten free people of vegeris people
Went here for our ma’s birthday while visiting Chicago for a show at Wrigley Field and it was fantastic! She has celiac disease and they can make any of their pastas Gluten Free which was awesome. We’ve been to some nicer Italian places but this was some of my favorite. Highly recommend!
Love the atmosphere here! Very cozy and intimate, with some nice outdoor tables in the summer. Great wine selection, good food options, including many vegetarian/pescatarian/gluten-free choices. I thought the sole fish was amazing and I enjoyed the Malbec wine, which pairs well with any dish. The service is also great! Very nice staff and usually pretty quick service. Also, you can bring your dog if seated outside. I highly recommend if you were interested in trying Turkish or Mediterranean food!
Absolutely fantastic wait staff (maybe the owner?), delicious food, and even had gluten free options! Especially in the recent heat wave, the strong a/c was a welcome refuge, seating was comfy, and our water was never allowed to reach the halfway mark.
My husband declared that if we lived here, this would be his new place for the Gai Kra Pao, which is perhaps the best praise it could get from him. My pad thai was equally fantastic and I'll definitely look to go back next time we're in the area.
Celiac friendly
