Top 50 Gluten-Free Allergen-Friendly Spots Across Chicago

We really loved it!!! The shrimp Po'boy was really good, the 3 egg omelet with avocado mesh was delicious and the Falafel was amazing!!! I wish there was a dine-in option. Finding a 100% Gluten free place is tough. Wheat End Cafe is doing a great job, serving real food and not just pastries. We will come back for sure.

The puck of love is my absolute favorite gf treat in the city!

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

Went in on a Monday night. Very busy and sat at the bar. Wxplanes to the bartender our allergies, I’m celiac and my wife is allergic to cilantro. Placed our orders and the kitchen manager, Manny, came out and discussed our orders and issues and talked us through what we would enjoy within our allergies. The food came we wished we had ordered 2’nd’s !! Delicious

Mika

I could rant and rave about this pizza for hours. Their gluten free, stuffed deep dish is rediculously good. Dont even get me started on the gluten free calzones 😭 I've ordered delivery from here like 3 times this week, it's just so good!

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Claire Nelson

Elizabeth was a fantastic server and very helpful with my dietary restrictions! I am gluten free and dairy free.

Charlotte Slater

I initially visited this restaurant for its gluten-free options, but it exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, incredibly satisfying, and left me eager to return. I dined here multiple times during my visit and always left happy and fulfilled. The service was consistently friendly and professional.

Can’t see a brunch menu for them?

Nicholas Sanchez

Very bed establishment. Very accommodating to my celiac girlfriend, and food was delicious as always.

Beth Cummings

Always safe and so many options s

Dedicated Gluten Free kitchen, and the food was delicious! Raspberry mojito was amazing. Alligator dip was so good with amazing baquette toast, hard to beleive it was gluten free, the texture of the baguette was amazing. The gumbo had perfect amount of spice. The chicken wings were the best. The fettucine had such great texture for a gluten free pasta, totally nailed it. Loved chatting with Chesa! The atmosphere, decor, music, waitstaff, food were all wonderful.

The place itself was really clean, and the workers were super polite & nice!! Location is also good because you can buy a bowl and then walk on over to the lake, which is exactly what we did. In terms of food, I think there are better-tasting places and a better bang for your buck. This place is REALLY good for those who are gluten-free and also if you’re vegetarian. The amount of protein you get, especially if you opt for the salmon or crispy chicken, is VERY small. It is not worth the price you are paying. But, if you are vegetarian and care more for all the other toppings, you’ll be satisfied. I think this is a very unique place with its korean-inspired ingredients combined with a make-your-bowl experience. I love that i could get a quick fix of kimchi (although it wasn’t really authentic kimchi). The noodles were good, i would like to try the rice next time. Perhaps it’s also the combo of ingredients that you get that make a difference in taste. I wasn’t able to finish my bowl. Not sure. I would be willing to come back & try again but not for a while. Service was 5/5 though!

Michelle Raclaw

Chase was amazing! Made my sister’s bday dinner special & gave special attention to the gluten-free choices to make sure the dishes were gluten-free. 10/10! Highly recommend Aba!

Whitney Dreher

This place was so good!! I got the chorizo and cheese taquitos and they were fantastic. The drinks were all pretty good and the price wasn’t crazy! Would 100% go back

Lise

Absolutely the BEST GLUTEN FREE meal! From meatballs & onion rings to pasta and then topped off with the gooey chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

Meghan Simon

This crew is so lovely and kind! I came for a chicken sandwich and fries (all gluten free AND delicious which is a DREAM) and left with a Shake of the Month which was chocolate covered strawberry. Thanks guys 🥰

Wayne Partington

Fabulous gem of a restaurant in the Fulton Market area. Croatian theme cuisine and excellent cocktails. Great vib. Shrimp scampi, charred green beans, risotto with carrots, pork ribs and branzino were amazing! Gluten free and egg free menus also.

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Merve Naja

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Esme Burrows

Just okay, not remarkable. Some dishes were good, nothing was spectacular. Gluten free pasta was undercooked and over salted. Staff were wonderful and very attentive.

Eva Gandhi

I had a great friend share these with me so cannot speak to the price but OMG best gluten free “baked” dessert I’ve had. I feel so good after eating it and it’s still sweet. Truly perfect. I think the best flavors are the date one and the banana bread cup. And it’s vegan, yay!

Hailey Weeg

Food was amazing! Great gluten free options

Liv Laine

Such great knowledge about allergies! I notified my server about being gluten free and almost immediately the manager came out saying she’s noted the allergy and let the chefs know and went over their allergy protocols. They can make almost anything gluten free, they told me just to pick out what I wanted and they can make it happen. Probably the best restaurant experience I’ve had!

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Paradiddle 218

we got the shakshula with gf toast, enchiladas, and chilaquiles!! it was amazing and they put an allergy marker for celiac.

Elena Dowin Kennedy

Excellent cider and food. As a celiac it was wonderful to have so many gluten free options. I tried the cauliflower wings, fried pickles, shrimp and grits, and paella. All were excellent, but if I had to choose the paella was the standout. Trying many ciders the Vibes from the Orchard and E-phoria were the standouts. Both were uniquely flavorful, crisp, and not overly sweet. We sat outside as a group of 7 with little kids and they had a blast moving about outside, but service was slow.

Marlene M

Really good, healthy options, generous portions, gluten-free and vegetarian options too. Alex was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat here again.

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Lee Mariño Clyne

Delicious food with gluten-free and vegan options. Small shop, but worth the visit!

Beth Cummings

Delicious food, lots of options

Sarah W

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Angie Valentine

Everything about this restaurant was amazing, the atmosphere, the staff and the food. Our server Luis was awesome. The ham & cheese stuffed French toast was delicious as was the biscuits and gravy. They also had some great gluten-free options for my daughter. It was within walking distance to wrigley field so it worked perfectly for us to eat there prior to the game.

Grace Joshua

Awesome gluten free sushi!

Rebecca Manning

Fantastic breakfast! Server and entire staff were very helpful in assuring my meal was gluten free. Highly recommend!

Emily Theis

Uvae is a gem. Love the happy hour oysters and bubbly. Some favorite dishes are the charcuterie board (the lavender honey!), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, scallops, shrimp + grits, chicken thigh... honestly we've liked everything! Cocktails are balanced and creative. Emma is a wonderful, personable server with top-notch wine recommendations, and was very accommodating to a gluten-free family member. I really appreciate that they have a few mocktails on the menu too. Chef Whitney is thoughtful, talented, and doing super cool things: last night we had a beet hummus plate with veggies and sesame tapioca crisps. It looked like an art piece and tasted like heaven; we were scraping our plates. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Go spend your money here!

Kareena

Great spot — highly recommend! Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match. What we ordered: Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious Feta pistachio pesto Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees. All around, 10/10

Deyton Chance

this was the most delectable experience ever!! all the food was so fresh it felt like i could taste its source. my friends and i were taking photos of our amazing meal and then…the manager comes over and asks if we would want to tag them in a post with one of their desserts on the house!! of course we agreed and not only was the dessert amazing but it was also vegan and gluten free along with many of the options on the menu. my friend who is vegan and gluten free and she said there was plenty of options for her and the staff was extremely accommodating! our waiter also went through the menu and explained everything in through detail since it was our first time. so overall 100/10 experience!!

Ramona Carter

I could not go to Chicago without trying deep dish, pizza! I am gluten-free, and they had an excellent option. I will say that, for the most part, I ate the toppings and the sauce, but they were really good. I enjoyed the sauce a lot!

Kassie

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

sabrina bernal

After trying the other brand, I can say without a doubt that this one is the best of all. Not only is its sauce smooth, but they also have a gluten-free version in a small version so we can all enjoy it. I loved the classic Chicago pizza. Thank you for having several size options and for offering gluten-free options! It's appreciated. 100% recommended.

Fernando Lima

I’m really disappointed with my visit today. This store claims to offer gluten-free and, at times, sugar-free options. However, during previous visits, I was told by a friendly staff member that certain items in the display were sugar-free. Today, I asked about the same items, and a different staff member, who was noticeably unfriendly and seemed unwilling to help, told me they were not sugar-free. This inconsistency is very concerning, especially for people who rely on accurate dietary information due to health reasons. It makes me question whether the gluten-free and vegan labels are truly trustworthy. If you have food restrictions, be very cautious. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I no longer feel confident about the transparency or accuracy of this shop's claims.

Lisa Patenaude

My sister has celiac and hasn’t had fried chicken in over 20 years. She ordered it and was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The executive chef came to our table to ask how the meal was for her. The manager spoke with us and was very friendly attentive. She sent us a gluten free dessert to enjoy. This was one of the most enjoyable meals and experience we have ever had. The staff are exceptional.

Joanna Benkowski

Haven't been out lately due to several circumstances. Finally had a double date with some very good friends. The food, service and cozy vibes were so fantastic. And needed. Zane was out server, and he was excellent. We spent a good bit of money, but it was well worth it. Also had a gluten free pizza (focaccia) and pasta that was in no way less-than. That really bowled me over as a GF person. Thank you!

Archie Sickels

delicious specialty lattes & SO MANY gluten & dairy free treats to choose from! really recommend the hazelnut brownie :) so rich & creamy

N

The gluten-free options are amazing. The only downside—and the reason for the 4 stars—is that the waffle in the crispy chicken & bacon Berlin waffle can’t be made gluten-free.

carmen Hernandez

My first time here I tried the Chicago Burger I was so excited to find a gluten free spot and so happy the food was so delicious . You can't tell the difference the burger was plant based and tasted just like a grilled burger. Certainly not the last time I'll be back for the chicken sandwich and banana split. All gluten Free ! ❤️
