Top 12 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Peoria

Chris Bartschi

We had the most attentive server without being annoying. My drink was never empty and my fries were always full. The food was good. About what we’ve come to expect from Red Robin. There was brown spots in our guacamole and they didn’t have enough chips for us to take advantage of bottomless chips. Which was only communicated to us after the food was served. But I know the kitchen didn’t communicate it to the servers beforehand. I picked the Mad Love burger at random and it was a great choice. My daughter said her gluten free bun was very tasty.

It pains me to write this review as less than five stars because it has been my go-to place for years. We even had our wedding party breakfast at the Avondale location the morning after our wedding back in December 2021. I have Celiac and need gluten free food that is also safe from cross-contamination. If you're the same, this review is for you. I don't know for sure but it seems as though ownership changed since 2021. The menu no longer mentions gluten free, other than a gluten free bun is an additional cost. Most recently the BBQ sauce they purchase changed to a sauce that contains gluten so my favorite item I get every time I go there, the Kinda Famous Texan Burger, or is it Almost Famous? Anyway, I can't eat it with BBQ sauce or the onions so it's a basic burger to me now. It's very sad. I wish they would go back to putting an effort and focus on their gluten free patrons.

Ordered baked brussel sprouts, jambalaya chicken shrimp pasta, Lunch size Evelyn's favorite pasta (gluten free) and cheesecake to bring home. Service from Rocky W was outstanding. He was very attentive and answered questions about the menu. Food was great. Gluten free pasta has a tendency to not be cooked correctly and this was perfect. And the quality was very tasty, didn't taste GF. Hubby loved the Jambalaya. We both brought half our meal home as it was too much food

I love that they provide gluten free buns so I can order a sandwich from a "fast food" restaurant. The burgers are great and the kids love their corn dogs. The fries are the bigger crinkle kind and done perfectly. The kids meals come with a small bowl of ice cream There is a coupon on the outside of the kids meal sack that you redeem for the ice cream. There is also a second coupon on the bag to save to qualify for a free meal! So don't toss the bag without looking for both. My sister loves the Northern Walleye pike sandwich which is rare outside the Midwest. The ice cream (custard) and sundaes are great. So much so that the kids keep scraping the bottoms of their bowls to get every bit!

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in our experience here last night. I had been given a glowing recommendation for this place. It wasn't anything major, just a few little things. I have to say our server, Summer, was great. It was a Sunday night, so prior to heading over we checked their website for a waitlist option. They had one! We put ourselves on the list and were told we were the only ones, so we drove straight up there. The entry was packed when we arrived. We told the host that we were on the waitlist. Even though the website said we were the only ones on the list, she told us it would be an hour wait. She was nice enough to suggest we eat in the bar area as it was first come, first served and we accepted that option. They had plenty of gluten free options for my wife, which was a huge plus. Our server was quick to take our orders, and was very helpful with my wife's allergies. She came by and checked on us several times during the excessive hour and 10 minute wait for our food. When the food came out, I expressed to my wife that my steak was luke-warm and she said hers was similar, but I was hungry so I started eating. After only 5 minutes or so, another runner came to the table with our exact same food and seemed shocked that we already had food. I told him my food was cold and I'd be happy to trade it for the literally steaming copy of my steak he had on his plate. He told me he would check if he could do that and then disappeared never to return. I noticed my wife hadn't touched her side, and realized one of her allergens had made it on the plate. Our server was incredibly quick to resolve that issue once she was alerted. Overall it was just a bit frustrating to have the website mislead us on the wait time, the food to take over an hour to arrive, the food to not be hot when it arrived, to be ignored when we indicated the food was not hot, and to have had one of the side dishes come prepared improperly. The food tasted good and the server really seemed to do her best to help us out where she could. Edit: I emailed you screenshots of the wait-list option from your website. It was an option after clicking "reservations" on your home page. I also sent you a screenshot of the text I received confirming my name on the wait-list.

Love this place! Everything I’ve ordered on the menu has been great! Wife is gluten free and this pizza is the best in town!

Busy place but seated quickly for 6 people. Our server was great. They do have a few gluten free selections, which I must have, and, while a bit boring, were definitely gluten free since I didn't get sick. I'd go back again.

I have never been disappointed with in n out!! For celiacs, state that you have a gluten “allergy” and they should take extra precaution with the preparation. I don’t believe I have ever been sick from gluten from here and I am extremely grateful for that.. Anxiety averted!! And the food is fresh and yummy too, you can’t go wrong!!

Marcell was such a sweetheart and the food was delicious! He offered a gluten-free english muffin to my dad when he couldn’t have bread products. Such a reliable breakfast place, thank you!!
