Armored Cow Brewing Co.
Celiac friendly
8821 JW Clay Blvd #1, Charlotte, NC 28262, USA
With a spacious indoor/outdoor vibe and regular events, this place serves up unique drinks and a lively atmosphere perfect for any gathering.
I have had Celiac disease for 20 years, since before I could drink alcohol. I thought I hated beer BUT THEN I HAD ARMORED COW GLUTEN FREE BEER! My favorite so far is Hell Yeah but Miss Rosie is good too. I can’t wait to try all they offer gluten free. Thanks for making beer I can drink and enjoy!
Blaze Pizza
Accommodating
8948 J M Keynes Dr #400, Charlotte, NC 28262, USA
Great service and a commitment to quality make this spot a go-to for those seeking tasty pizza options.
This was fairly quick and easy to customize for my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). The crust was delicious for gluten free but needed to cook longer. Overall it was a great meal!
Famous Toastery
Accommodating
8933 J M Keynes Dr #2, Charlotte, NC 28262, USA
Discover a spot with a delightful variety of unique breakfast options, including tasty toast and an inviting atmosphere that keeps folks coming back!
TLDR: best gluten free waffle I've had in years!! --- I randomly found this place on Google while visiting the area and decided to give it a try when I saw they had gluten friendly pancakes, waffles, AND french toast available. Most places I see only have 1 on a good day, so this was a refreshing surprise. Now 9 times out of 10, when I get gluten friendly pancakes at a restaurant, the pancakes I make at home are better by a mile (not because I am a chef, but because what is served is basic at best). The waffle here was flavorful, as opposed the syrup on chalk experience I've come to expect since dropping the gluten. Side note: they serve maple syrup instead of the fake stuff too...another pleasant surprise. I'll definitely be making my way back to the chain to get another and try the other two! Service was also fast and attentive, food came out hot, etc. 10s across the board 👏🏾👏🏾
Boardwalk Billy's Raw Bar and Ribs

A welcoming spot for both casual hangouts and business meetings, known for its fresh variety and perfectly cooked crab legs.

Amazing hidden gem in university! Authentic Pan Asian Cuisine! I finally found a place who has all my favorite Pan Asian dishes along with a ton of gluten free options! I will definitely become a regular.
