Top 43 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in South Scottsdale

We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in

We had the very first issue ever today. I ordered what we have eaten many times, pancakes (gluten free), bacon and hash browns and my husband gets an omelet meal. We eat here 1-2 times a week. But I will never go back. We called in because the pancakes we got today had a weird sweet after taste possibly too much vanilla. Whatever it was we called in and talked with a manager named Molly. Molly was combative saying she just tried the pancakes and no one else has complained. I have never been treated so poorly by a manager especially if I have a legitimate issue. Her only option was to come back immediately to have them remake. I didn’t have time and said so, she said that was all she could do. She made it clear she didn’t believe me either. She also said she didn’t mind us never coming back. If their customer service is like this I will never go back. Which is sad because this was our favorite restaurant. Molly you tried to make me feel small and instead you just lost a customer for life!

Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!

Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!

I ordered a gluten-free pizza. I wish more care had been taken to add the toppings evenly.

It’s a great place with all types of food such as protein based, vegan, gluten free and even drinks! Fantastic place.

Alix Naber

Delicious food and amazing gluten free/ vegan options! The mocktails were fantastic also! Would absolutely come back.

Troy Aberle

PBJ burger with gluten free bun was 13/10!

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!

This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!

I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods. After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one. We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.) Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens. She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill. Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.

Great gluten free options including breakfast sandwiches 🥪

Kara Cavanaugh

They have gluten free options! I got french toast (and didn't get cross contaminated) and sampled the coffee flight. It was all delicious and we were in and out quickly.

Emily Kehner

Happy to find a spot with a few vegan options for breakfast. We enjoyed the crispy polenta tacos, tempeh breakfast bowl, and a modified avocado toast (subbed sourdough for the egg bread, subbed tempeh for the bacon/egg, and added sliced tomato) A few vegan side options as well, like the crispy polenta, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, beans and rice. Not the *most delicious* food we’ve ever had but we were so glad to go somewhere with real vegan options and something for the whole family (including kids, gluten free, and vegans)

Gluten free selection/dish was lovely!

This place was so good we ordered from here 4 times while on vacation. Incredibly grateful they had amazing gluten free options. I think Naperville, IL would be a great spot to open a location… ;)

Jeff Wheeler

Such a wonderful experience and their gluten free options are amazing. I highly recommend this place, high quality food and service!

Isaac Korff

Great food!! I wish the had more Gluten free options but I know it’s hard and it always tastes horrible so this place gets it!! Lol. Regardless this place puts food before people have some decency 😂

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.

Always make me happy and feel included and like I’m not missing out as a Dairy Free and Gluten Free person. I get Barros Special on GF Crust and No Cheese however that do have DF cheese! I got a GF and DF Sub this time for a meal the next day and the bread they use is amazing.

Went here on Christmas Eve for dinner and had a great meal. We had the pollo street tacos and the kale salad with salmon. I was impressed by the level of attention the staff gave to my dining partner’s gluten sensitivity as they made a special version of salsa that was gluten free as their regular salsa has soy sauce. They also brought grilled tortillas for her to enjoy the guacamole as their regular salsa tortilla chips could be exposed to gluten in the fryer. We had a minor issue with how the salmon was prepared and the executive chef took over to remake it himself. I would definitely return for another meal on my next visit. There were a few items I wanted to try that I was just too full to add to the table.

Staff here are so sweet! It was really nice to have gluten free options as a celiac. Prices are up there, but I guess that’s par for the course in 2025 and as a GF option. If I was a local I would return!

Amber Pope

This place BLEW MY MIND! Great staff to help if you have allergies and they are just friendly and so customer service focused! The gluten free bun was unreal! My husband had to ask if there was a kitchen mistake because it was that good! Needed 6 napkins to eat my burger. The fries are also so delicious! The only thing that I’m peeved about is that I now dream about this food and I will now drive 40min to have it! Great to meet you all and I’ll be back!

Rachel White

We love Houston's. It's a five star experience every time. We cannot believe how good the food is, its very memorable. My only wish is that they would offer more gluten free options.

My boyfriend and I love EVO, it’s such a good spot in Old Town and it’s open late. I rarely write reviews but I want to shout out our waiter, Jemar. Last night is the second time he’s been our waiter and his service is just incredible. He saw we were sitting at our table with no waters for awhile and a couple servers walked past us before he came up and started to take care of us right away. He never ever let our waters get low, it was always full. He was quick with our drink orders. Food came out perfectly and boxed up our leftovers for us. He is so nice and also treated us to dessert and accommodated my gluten intolerance. Jemar, you are so wonderful!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie’s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sophisticated décor and the expansive, open layout. The space is thoughtfully designed with cozy booths lining the exterior and high-top tables filling the central area, creating an atmosphere that’s both inviting and chic. The menu at Moxie’s is a culinary feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every dish is artfully presented, and the flavors are nothing short of exceptional. I had the opportunity to try two outstanding items: • FARMERS HASH: This hearty dish combines pancetta bacon, jalapeño pork sausage, roasted vegetables, and pickled onions, all topped with perfectly poached eggs, home fries, and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. The medley of flavors and textures made every bite delightful. • TUNA SUSHI STACK: A visually stunning dish featuring sushi-grade tuna stacked with seasoned rice, avocado, mango, and complemented by a soy ginger glaze and spicy mayo. Served alongside seasoned prawn crackers, it was a refreshing and flavorful treat. The service was equally impressive. Our server was not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff’s professionalism and warmth made us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Overall, Moxie’s hit it out of the park in all areas. From the elegant ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and excellent service, it’s a restaurant that delivers on all fronts. Additional Information: • Ambiance: Perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. • Location: Conveniently situated in Scottsdale with ample parking options nearby. • Reservations: Recommended during peak hours to ensure a seamless dining experience. • Menu Variety: Offers a diverse selection catering to various tastes, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you’re in Scottsdale and looking for a memorable dining experience, Moxie’s is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

Great time with a work group. Plus they had good gluten free options (I'm a celiac and need these options).

Lindsay Walsh

Very good food. Tons of gluten free options clearly marked on menu.

Allison Pelstring

Visited AZ & was in search of clean, delicious food! They don’t use any seed oils, soy, dairy, or gluten in their products, and their staff is the kindest. They can answer any questions about their products and offer other local food recommendations. I went there three times during my visit because I knew what I was getting was clean and delicious!!

Joey “Jojokat” Katone

Came in for dinner with my hubby and 3 kids, Feliciano took my order and was super diligent to make sure my allergy ( gluten) was address. I felt super safe eating there. The manger came over ( Wayne) and double checked everything to make sure we got the best deal! Which was kids eat free!!! Thank you. Top notch service! Excellent food! Clean restaurant! Hit all the points.

Chris Williams

Generally have a good experience here when we visit, but this time my wife made it expressly clear that she's newly diagnosed with celiac and the bartender assured us that the option we chose was gluten free. We spent the entire night and next morning with my wife feeling awful because she kept trying to ask the server if the dressing had glute/wheat and was just met with a blank stare. We should have trusted our guy and gone somewhere else, but this was definitely a disappointing experience. We're both from the service industry from back in the day and we understand these things happen, but it was more just the complete disinterest and lack of urgency in getting the information correct that was unsettling.
